Nine Solitary Spears thought about it, “Alright, I’ll trust you on this! But the one who enters stealth to obtain the Heart of Darkness has to be your men.”.

Fearless was right, unravelling a dungeon was based on accumulated experience.

As a dungeon that could only be entered once a week, the formation dungeon didn’t throw anyone out upon death, in order to protect the sanity of the players. Instead, deaths affected the level of experience gained and the quality of equipment obtained at the end.

Even then, no one wanted to die, after all, anyone who could face this dungeon already had good equipment with them, the costs of repairing them were astronomical.

Nine Solitary Spears had crossed paths many times with the Quan Zhen Sect, he did not trust Fearless at all.

“That works, I’ll send my men in,” Fearless looked at him and said.

“Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher, you guys will go in.”.

“Got it,” the two of them replied in unison as they entered stealth.

The stealth here was not for the purposes of evasion, but because it granted them 20% bonus movement speed.

“Alright, let’s continue,” Fearless said to Thunderlord and Crotch Lord.

Thunderlord said with a dark expression, “You guys are too weak, if we fail again, I’ll take over command.”.

“Alright,” Fearless smiled.

“…” the hairs on the bodies of the Quan Zhen Sect members stood as they saw the expression on Fearlesss’ face.

Thunderlord just had to offend Fearless. Perhaps he couldn’t tell, but in Fearless’ smile, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect all knew what it meant: “Alright, that’s if you make it till the end.”.

Following this, Fearless turned to the rest and said, “We’re going to lure the monsters to one side and let them stealth over. If we use two tanks, the aggro might be split, so we’ll just use one this time, does anyone have any objections?”.

“Nope…” the crowd replied.

To lure all the monsters over, they had to keep the formation of the monsters in shape, which was optimised by using a single tank. This would prove difficult for a normal player, but they had the greatest MT in the country. Together with Fearless’ healing, there should have been no issue.

Fearless said, “Thunderlord, later you’ll be the secondary tank, Crotch Lord will be the main tank, do you have any objections?”.

Thunderlord said with dissatisfaction, “Why should I be the secondary tank?”.

The rewards distribution at the end of the dungeon was based on participation and contribution, the main tank would naturally take more damage and have better rewards as a result.

Thunderlord had always been the main tank, it was natural that he would be unhappy with this arrangement.

Fearless replied, “My skills are average, but me and Crotch Lord have been working together for a long time, we have better synergy.”.

Thunderlord replied coldly, “Hmph, you’re just favouring your own men, my equipment is much better than his.”.

If Thunderlord were to compare his mechanics to Crotch Lord’s it may have seemed as if he was being arrogant, but the relativity between their equipment was a cold hard fact.

Fearless said, “I know, I’m just scared that I won’t be able to match my healing to your moves.”.

Thunderlord said with frustration, “I’ll just work with you!”.

A truly powerful player was not one who demanded cooperation from his teammates, but one who could play to his teammates’ strengths.

The Quan Zhen Sect all looked at him like he was a dead man- they knew what kind of person Fearless was, they all felt that Thunderlord was a fool to trust him.

“Alright then… Let’s go lure the monsters on the far left,” Fearless nodded.

“Got it,” Thunderlord said as he rushed over to pull the nearest Skeleton.

After the formation got activated again, the entire Valley vibrated with the sound of Skeletons.

Seeing this, Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher began walking towards the entrance of the valley.

The others followed behind Thunderlord as Fearless instructed, “Try to buff Thunderlord as much as possible, don’t output damage in case the monsters just respawn again.”.

After hearing the orders, everyone began buffing Thunderlord with skills from their own classes. Under all those buffs Thunderlord virtually became superhuman.

But this was also the reason which made Thunderlord feel out of place.

Tanks always had low damage output, so Thunderlord was not worried about killing the monsters in front of him. But with the attack buffs from the Quan Zhen Sect members, Thunderlord could not use any attack skills for the fear that he might just one shot them.

After twenty seconds, the Skeletons across the entire valley had already been gathered on one side, and because no one else had attacked the creatures, the aggro of the Skeletons was solely on Thunderlord.

These Skeletons had weak attributes, but their physical attacks were monstrous. Under the armada of attacks, Thunderlord’s shield was soon shattered as his shield’s health began to drop.

He split his shield into two swords and said, “Priest, heal me.”.

“Alright,” Fearless nodded as he casted a healing spell on him.

This infuriated Thunderlord.

“My health bar is still intact, what are you doing?” he raged.

“I thought you wanted me to heal you? Be careful, don’t kill the monsters,” Fearless said.

“They’re almost dying because of you.”.

Thunderlord immediately retracted his swords and continued blocking with his shield.

Seeing Thunderlord blocking the individual attacks of the Skeletons, the Quan Zhen Sect’s members couldn’t help but watch in awe.

Even though blocking was a simple mechanic, the ability to block all attacks from all directions was a god-like manifestation of this mechanic. Even Crotch Lord felt amazed.

Thunderlord lived up to his name indeed.

But even then, there was a limit to this, beyond the Skeleton Warriors, there were archers and mages in the back, and Thunderlord was within their attack range.

Over a hundred attacks, even Wang Yu would not dare to face that.

Thunderlord was only focused on the physical attacks of the Skeleton Warriors, he was so preoccupied that he didn’t see the ranged attacks coming. Once the first wave of attacks struck, his health bar dropped to 50% immediately.
