Reborn back to the day the server opened! Lu Cang chose a guild talent that could grow to the SSS-rank. As a result, the players in Lu Cang's guild all became god-level players!
A super c...
After Bai Lu unleashed her skill, she instantly killed all the cat demons!
Even the cat demons that were born later were melted by this attack!
You have gained enough experience points: Level up to 8
After clearing out this wave of cat demons, Lu Cang and the others' levels also increased to level 8, and they were not far from level 9.
"Charge up the fireball and find an opportunity to release it. Once the ground fire is off cooldown, switch to charging up the ground fire."
Lu Cang issued the command order.
The white deer immediately began charging up its fireball spell on the spot.
"Ugly dwarf cat demon! Look at me!"
Lu Cang mocked again, and the cat demons that had spawned looked at Lu Cang once more.
The reason Lu Cang waited during the second wave was to wait for the taunt cooldown.
To avoid a gap in aggro when the third wave of monsters spawns and the White Deer has no skills available, the Cat Demon could kill the Brave Warrior in those short two or three seconds if it attacks him.
The aftershocks of the fire that Bai Lu had just unleashed ultimately failed to completely wipe out the third wave of cat demons.
The cooldown time for the ground fire is as long as 30 seconds.
Although it's a powerful skill, its cooldown time is ridiculously long.
At least at level 5, a 30-second cooldown is still too long. If you learn this skill without combining it with other minor skills, it means that after using a skill, the mage will face a 30-second downtime.
Moreover, Bai Lu hasn't stacked any cooldown reduction attributes yet.
The fearless warrior seemed to have found his fighting spirit. Although he was still afraid, he began to actively join the battle.
After confirming that the cat demons would not attack him, the fearless warrior began to help Lu Cang clear out the nearby minions.
The five-stage powerful slash was unleashed in succession!
Horizontal slash, vertical slash, diagonal slash, diagonal slash, vertical slash!
-790
-720
-791
-715
...
The slide slashes created a shockwave, which looked incredibly cool, but if you weren't careful, you might deal too much damage without killing the enemy, and instead attract their aggro.
This prompted the cat demon to turn around and start chasing the fearless hero.
Upon seeing several cat demons turn and chase after him, the fearless warrior was terrified and began to run away again.
boom!
However, a fireball flew out!
Behind the fearless warrior, a spherical flame suddenly exploded.
Those cat demons with low health were instantly killed by this attack.
After the first strike, the white deer chanted a new fireball spell.
He said helplessly, "Those cat demons are all down to their last bit of health. Why don't you just turn around and slash them to kill them instantly?"
"But they just kept chasing after us!"
"So you turn around and stab them!"
What if they attack me?
"You have 1500 HP, you won't die from being touched!"
How did you know I have 1500 HP?
"It's written on your health bar!"
After reaching level 7, the Warrior's HP also increased to 1500, making him quite tanky.
Compared to Lu Cang, who only has 300 HP at level 7, this one is much tankier.
“Fearless, wait at the location I marked.”
Lu Cang ignored the two's argument and casually pointed, causing an arrow mark to appear on the ground of the instance.
This is a common command tactic; "brave and fearless" might just be a novice, but it doesn't mean they're stupid.
Upon seeing the mark, they immediately ran towards it.
Lu Cang also gathered a circle of cat demons, drawing all their hatred onto himself, and using his movement to bring them all together.
However, Lu Cang did not immediately run to the vicinity of the Fearless Warrior to clear the monsters.
It hasn't been 30 seconds yet.
Bai Lu's skills are not yet off cooldown, so Lu Cang plans to wait.
After running around for about ten seconds, Lu Cang made a sharp turn and ran towards the direction of the fearless warrior.
This move undoubtedly made the other two members of the team break out in a cold sweat.
These are hundreds of cat demons; if Lu Cang is pounced on even once, he will be severely injured.
It's only because Lu Cang is highly skilled and daring that he dares to make such a move; if it were any other player, they would probably be dead by now.
Even professional players wouldn't dare say they could kite so many cat demons at the same time.
Lu Cang's ability to pull monsters isn't simply about running ahead.
Instead, they leaped through the trees, stepping on the heads of the monsters, and weaving through the gaps and openings between them.
You can't just move around freely in mid-air. If you get touched, you'll be knocked to the ground, and the result will be being pounced on and killed one by one by hundreds of cat demons.
"Use Earth-Shattering Slash to clear this wave."
As soon as Lu Cang landed, hundreds of cat demons that had been surrounding him pounced on him!
The brave warrior felt a chill run down his spine, but he still immediately swung his sword!

-1523
-1522
-1525
-1527
...
boom!
The giant sword crashed down, unleashing a shockwave! All the cat demons were instantly killed by the impact!
You have gained enough experience points: Level up to 9
After the third wave of cat demons was killed, the experience points were finally maxed out, and the level successfully reached level 9.
It was at this moment that the Cat Demon King finally appeared on a certain tree.
Along with them appeared the [Dark Night Cat Elite Guards].
-------------------------------------
【King of the Dark Night Cat Demon】
[Level: 10]
Health Points: 12,000
[Skills: Pounce, Claw, Bite, Swift Movement, Claw Flash]
[Description: A cat demon with tenacious vitality, exceptionally agile, and extremely high damage; be careful not to get caught.]
-------------------------------------
"It has finally appeared."
"Deer, set fire to the ground."
boom!
The ground fire erupted instantly!
-2120
-2104
-2012
-2125
-2021
-2103
...
It swept through most of the dungeon in an instant!
The Dark Night Cat Demon King roars amidst the raging flames!
Amidst the raging flames, Lu Cang flashed with an arc of light and leaped into the air, arriving before the Dark Night Cat Demon King.
【Eternal Ruler - Ruler of All Transformations - Goal: Fearless Warriors】
In that instant, Lu Cang activated his talent, replicating all the abilities of the fearless warrior.
And the greatsword in his hand with +30 strength.
The "All-Encompassing Domination" ability can copy the abilities and equipment of any guild member for two minutes.
The cooldown time is also 2 minutes.
However, the current drawback is that after using the Myriad Transformations Domination, one can no longer use the skills they originally possessed.
After acquiring the [Fearless Warrior] ability, Lu Cang immediately activated [Five-Stage Might Slash].
It flashed through the air, a horizontal slash followed by an A, then immediately reversed 180 degrees, a diagonal slash followed by an A.
-1092
-321
-1092
-321
-1092
-321
...
Vertical slash, diagonal slash, vertical slash—
Lu Cang passed back and forth through the cat demon king's body, going in and out three times!
-1092
-321
-1092
-321
...
So fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, Lu Cang completed all five slashes in a mere second, with each slash accompanied by a basic attack.
At the same time, the parts attacked are the Cat Demon King's weakest points.
Attacking different parts of a monster will result in different damage effects, which is why the damage values are different even when the attributes are the same.
Under Lu Cang's skillful control, every attack dealt maximum damage!
If the brave and fearless obtain this talent, it's a miracle of brute force, replacing brains with numbers.
Lu Cang's acquisition of this talent represents a perfect combination of strength and skill.
Bang!
At the very end of the last segment, Lu Cang didn't forget to unleash a 15x power-up Earth-Shattering Slash that smashed into the Cat Demon King's head.
-3292
In just one second, Lu Cang unleashed a combo attack that dealt over 9,000 damage.
The damage was maximized to the extreme!
-------------------------------------
Ash Forest - Nightmare Difficulty
"Holy crap, there's a second wave?"
"I knew the number of monsters in the first wave was off."
At this moment, the members of the Star Gate Guild gathered together.
With basic attributes, clearing out these monsters is simply a pipe dream.
Their main attributes are generally only around 40 points, and that's only because the Star Gate Guild cobbled together some white equipment for them along the way.
To get the first kill, there isn't enough time for them to acquire equipment.
Clearing monsters mainly relies on teamwork to trigger the mechanics.
The fastest way is to multiply the damage by stacking various mechanisms and buffs.
If an S-rank talent is used consistently, dealing damage dozens of times its attribute value is not a problem.
In just two minutes, they had cleared the first wave of monsters using the [Starry Sky] talent.
But what they didn't expect was that there would be a second wave.
"Damn... Xingxi, can you still unleash your power?"
"You need to wait for the CD to load, 5 minutes."
The team's tank, [Star Stone], felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the nearly one hundred cat demons that had spawned.
"Starshine, heal me, I'll draw aggro first."
Xinghui glanced at Xingshi: "Okay, don't die. If you die, we'll blow it up."
"Damn it, I tried my best... There were so many cat demons, even with the most agile movements, it was impossible to dodge them all, let alone... I'm a shield guard."
Xingxi raised her Radiant Staff: "If all else fails, we'll slowly finish this wave and then see how to deal with it."
"If there is a third wave, I will save my burst damage for the third wave and then slowly take down the boss. If there is no third wave, I will just kill the boss instantly."
Xing Shi nodded: "That's the only way, but this will disrupt our rhythm. I don't know if we'll still have time to get the first kill."
"If there is a third wave of monsters, it will take at least 15 minutes to get the first kill this time."
Xingxi broke out in a cold sweat; the illusionary world was also very realistic in terms of physical sensation.
"It's okay. We're having a tough time, but the other guilds are probably having a tough time too."
"Changes to the Illusionary Realm are usually fair. Our dungeons have new mechanics, and other regions will probably have the same..."
"Other guilds are probably just as sweating it out as we are now, struggling to cope with the new dungeon mechanics."
The Star Gate Guild originally expected to take the first kill in a little over 10 minutes, but now it will drag on to 15 minutes, which is undoubtedly a significant drop in expectations.
The Star Gate Guild's team regrouped and began to meet the Cat Demon's attack.
While fighting back, Xinghui, who was in charge of healing, didn't forget to ask, "Axi, what do you think the chances are of those three getting the first kill?"
Upon hearing Xinghui's question, Xingxi burst out laughing: "Xinghui, don't make me laugh at such a crucial moment in a team battle, okay? Our Xingmen Guild is already having such a hard time dealing with this dungeon, how come that three-person trash team got the first kill?"
Xinghui frowned, a hint of doubt in his expression, but his hands did not falter. Seeing Xingshi losing health, he cast a Starlight Healing spell on Xingshi. They had practiced this scene hundreds of times before.
Although the attributes are not high, the professional operation can make up for this weakness.
"Could it be that Bai Lu isn't actually an S-level talent holder? Is that why he was so casual?"
With a wave of her right hand, Xingxi summoned ten magic arrays around her, each automatically releasing starbursts.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The star projectiles fired rapidly, unleashing a torrential downpour of colorful projectiles that struck one cat demon after another.
"Who cares if she is or isn't, this bet doesn't cost us anything anyway."
Xinghui continued, "Speaking of which, why didn't you make a contract with them just now?"
"Do I have that kind of time? Every second counts in the fight for the first kill. Besides, we have a huge advantage in this bet. You're forcing others to sign it. Isn't that bullying?"
What if they break the contract?
"So what if you break the contract? Do you really think you can steal someone else's sister away with just a verbal promise?"
"It's enough that this is beneficial to our negotiations. This isn't a slave trade. If you insist on making others sign a contract, the most likely outcome is not that they will actually sign a contract with you, but that you will scare them away. Do you understand?" Xingxi said earnestly to Xinghui while waving her staff and releasing [Star Stream Bullet].
"Damn it, I'm pulling mobs so hard and you guys are just chatting over there?" Xing Shi was furious when he saw two leisurely magic-based classes casting spells and chatting on the side.
"If you guys don't put in more effort, the first kill will be snatched by other guilds."
"Starstone, you're too nervous. The first kill isn't that easy to come by..."
Congratulations to players: Azure Sky, Fearless Warrior, and White Deer for clearing the level 5 Nightmare difficulty dungeon - Ash Forest!
[The Godslayer Guild has achieved the first kill of the first dungeon on this server!]
