Chapter 39: Caged Devil (Part 2)

December 21st, midnight, in the city on the sea, in the huge palace.

The short second when the Ghost General stood up seemed as long as the change of day and night in the eyes of the players.

"Don't be scared to death..." Anson Deer joked in the voice channel: "This is just the beginning."

It was not until Anson Deer's voice rang in the ears of every player through the voice channel that they realized that in such a situation, even if they were distracted for just a second, they would die...

In an instant, the ghost general suddenly bent down and stomped his huge wooden clogs heavily on the ground, making a sound like an earthquake.

It held the sword in both hands, as if in the art of drawing the sword. A powerful aura swept over it, as if it would swing the sword horizontally in the next moment and cut everything in front of it into pieces.

Whoosh——

The wind was slightly turbulent, and where the Ghost General put his hands together, there was a tearing sound in the air around him.

[Boss skill name: Sword Slash]

[Attack type: arc-shaped diffusion]

[Affected area: half the venue]

Anson Deer had seen this trick before.

The charging time of the Ghost General's sword-drawing attack is up to 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds, it will swing forward and create a shock wave that is strong enough to affect half of the palace.

As long as this shock wave hits you, no player will be able to escape.

In other words…

If these players just stand there stupidly, they will all die in 3 seconds.

There are two ways to avoid this trick:

1. Let all players rise to a height of nearly 4 meters and float in the air so that they will not be hit by the shock wave that slashes across.

2. During the 3 seconds when the Ghost General is charging, immediately rush behind it, which is equivalent to directly leaving the direction of the shock wave.

"Here we go." Anson Lu stared at the Ghost General's posture, "All players, execute the first plan."

They had already practiced a response plan long before the battle - the mage team cast a wind spell on all members of the warrior team, and the warrior team immediately passed the side of the Ghost General and rushed to its back!

The same goes for the archer team. They used the skill - Sprint, to increase their speed and bypass the Ghost General.

"Follow me--!!" Adel roared like a lion.

This small group of nearly a dozen warriors was led by Adel.

Moreover, with the help of the mage player, every warrior player's body was wrapped in a layer of gust of wind.

They used the wind brought by the Wind Spell to rush forward and passed by the Ghost General at an incredible speed.

The same is true for players in the archer squad.

They used their professional skill 'Sprint' to greatly increase their movement speed, and like ghostly shadows, they shuttled to the back of the Ghost General.

While the two professional teams rushed to the rear of the Ghost General, the Mage Team and the Priest Team remained where they were.

The mages gave all the "Wind Curse" to the warrior team, so their own speed was naturally no longer guaranteed.

In this situation, it would be too late for them and the Pastor Team to run over within three seconds simply by running speed.

so……

"Yuri, it's up to you to protect the mage and the priest." Anson Deer said in his heart.

At this moment, the mage team and the priest team gathered together, and their total number of people added up to 18.

How to protect these 18 people who lack mobility from the [Sword Slash] of the Ghost General that affected half of the palace is a very serious problem.

But the person who carried it out was Yuri.

The moment Anson Deer gave the order, Yuri raised her slender right arm, ice dust danced wildly in the air, and a hard layer of ice gradually formed in front of the Icelandic girl.

The ice layer extends upward in a slope.

It stopped after reaching a height of 4 meters, and then the ice layer continued to extend in a flat shape. After just one second, a huge floating ice surface was formed!

"Come up."

There was not a trace of emotion in Yuri's cold voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, the members of the priest team and the mage team quickly climbed up the ice. Nearly twenty people stood on the 4-meter-high suspended ice surface!

Anson Lu looked at the two teams running wildly in the palace and said:

"Crow, take me behind the Ghost General."

"learn."

Urushihara Ritsu curled the corner of his mouth, he calmly extended his index finger, and a crow flew out from his fingertip.

The crow flapped its wings and flew through the air.

It flies faster than the Archers and Warriors, so it can pass the Ghost General almost at the same time as these two teams.

The last second before the ghost general drew his sword was fleeting...

A lot happens in this second.

The priest team and the mage team climbed onto the suspended ice surface created by Yuri; the warrior team and the archer team passed the ghost general; Urushihara Ritsu used the "Phantom Crow" to bring Anson Deer to the rear of the ghost general.

At this moment, the Ghost General drew his sword and slashed forward at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!

"hiss--"

The wind is howling.

The invisible shock wave, which almost exceeded the speed of sound, spread out like ripples.

In an instant, a huge gully appeared on the palace gate and the walls on both sides...

These grooves are half a meter deep, enough to show what would happen if a human body were to withstand this blow.

"This is too horrible..." Maruyama Jun broke out in a cold sweat. If the suspended ice surface where they were standing was just a few centimeters lower, all the members of the priest team and the mage team would be cut in half, with no one left alive.

"The mana is almost gone." Yuri lowered his eyes, "You guys can play by yourselves."

As her clear voice fell, the suspended ice surface shattered.

“Bang!”

Without the support of the ice, the priest team and the mage team screamed and fell from four meters in the air, but they were well prepared and were able to land safely.

At this moment, Anson Lu and Urushihara Ritsu came behind the Ghost General, and the crow faded away.

After landing, Anson Lu confirmed the situation on Yuri's side almost immediately and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he trusted Yuri, Yuri executed the task perfectly, creating a suspended ice surface to carry 18 players, allowing them to perfectly avoid the Ghost General's slash.

If there were more people, Yuri would find it difficult to handle the situation alone.

Her current level is not high, and due to the limitation of mana, it is impossible for her to create a suspended ice surface that can carry nearly 40 players.

Therefore, the warrior team and the archer team must cross the attack range of the ghost general.

"This is a good spot." Urushihara Ritsu spread his arms and raised the corners of his mouth jokingly, "Lu Jun, this is your home court."

"I know that without you telling me."

Anson Lu looked at the huge back of the Ghost General and read out the two words without any hesitation.

"Chess field."

In an instant, with his body as the center, the territory of the former chess player swept in all directions like a rising tide.

huff——

Countless dark blue lines divide the 35-meter area into six or four squares.

After reaching level 5, the coverage of the chess field increased from 30 meters to 35 meters.

Moreover, Anson's deer were released in the very center of the palace, which was able to occupy two-thirds of the palace's area and almost turned the palace into their home ground.

At this time, the God's perspective brought by the passive skill "Chess Master" overlaps with the vision of Anson's deer pupils.

Now he can accurately see all the scenes in the palace.

"From now on..." Anson Lu raised his dark brown eyes and said calmly, "We can't make any mistakes."
