MMORPG: Rebirth Of The Strongest Assassin-Chapter 49: End of Battle
Hum!
The moment Silent Wall saw Calm Sea petrified on her spot, the sword’s blade tip had already touched her forehead, with her HP plummeting to zero in the blink of an eye.
"Sorry, everyone, I was so afraid to move there," Calm Sea apologized in the party chat before her screen turned grey and she couldn’t move or type anymore.
’Damnit, I have clearly told them to be careful of his sword slash. But I forgot that they are still new to Eclipse Online and didn’t know that even bosses could do combos!’ Yone cursed for his lack of information when giving out commands, but didn’t dwell much on the thought and gave his next orders.
"Silent Wall, tank the boss till the rest of the fight, and Life, I want you to try your best to dodge after he locked eyes with you. Everyone, just focus on dealing as much damage as possible and not getting hit by anything."
As Silent Wall was approaching the boss once again to take agro of him using Taunt, Giblin locked eyes with Life right before he could even use his skills and vanished, reappearing behind the hunter in the next moment.
’Curse this boss, so annoying,’ Life face was ugly as she instantly rolled to the side, perfectly dodging the boss and readying her bow as she kept on damaging with her endless casual arrow skill.
As a low-level hunter who started as level 2 of this dungeon, she only had two skills and was thus helpless to dish out any important damage like Yone was doing. She felt disheartened at first, but when recalling who Requiem is, her spirit was lifted and she focused again.
For the next five minutes, the fight went smoothly. Life expertly dodged every boss teleportation, narrowly escaping death each time. She even managed to evade his devastating sword skill combo twice in a row.
"Both melees and Life, hit him with your strongest shot now!" Yone shouted.
-30...
-40!...
-35... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
-20...
A flurry of damage numbers filled the air. The boss’s HP plummeted to 5%, then 3%.
When the boss’s health dropped to 3%, Giblin’s eyes glowed red. In a sudden, blindingly fast motion, far quicker than any of his previous attacks, he raised his hand.
There was no time to react!
"Everyone, kneel," Yone yelled aloud as he instantly knelt on the ground, knowing what would happen next.
On the next moment, Gibli’s sword slashed horizontally at everyone, but he didn’t manage to hit anyone as everyone was kneeling on the ground, safe from getting cut by his sword.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Yone sprang to his feet and drove both daggers into the boss’s back. In a blur of motion, he unleashed a flurry of strikes, each dealing hundreds of damage. His attack speed, boosted by his passive, showcased the true terror of an assassin striking from behind, both overwhelming and relentless.
-110...-107...-122...
As the rest of the team joined the assault, the boss’s HP plummeted to zero. With a final, shuddering collapse, the Goblin Lord fell. Seven glowing items were scattered beside his lifeless corpse.
System Announcement: Congratulations, Players... You have successfully defeated the Goblin Lord and cleared the Death Stone Dungeon on Hell Mode.
Calculating Additional Rewards...
Additional Rewards Calculated...
The current Hell Mode dungeon is very challenging for players, and clearing it is by no means an easy feat. Would the party leader wish to announce their name throughout your continent or want to stay anonymous?
"Announce it," Yone replied casually. Their names were known anyway, as the only people who went inside a Hell Mode were them. Plus, fame is always good when it comes to such an early stage of the game.
Golden Gate Kingdom Announcement: Congratulations to players: Requiem, Silent Wall, Life, Calm Sea, Rage, and Swift Slash for the first clear of the hell mode dungeon throughout the entire kingdom.
Regional Announcement: Congratulations to players: Requiem, Silent Wall, Life, Calm Sea, Rage, and Swift Slash for the first clear of the hell mode dungeon throughout the entire southern region.
+1000 fame within the Golden Gate Kingdom.
+100 fame within the southern region.
Additional Reward: Seal of the Water.
All six players had gotten a lead by having the ability to locate the next dungeon spawn using the Seal of the Water. To all players: Good Luck on your next run!
We did it!
We actually did it!
Everyone was in disbelief as they stared blankly at the several system announcements ringing through their ears, repeating it three times, one after the other. Their hearts filled with joy as they all hugged each other, with some even going as far as kissing Yone on the forehead, thanking him for leading them through this.
This moment here is what only true gamers could understand. The thrill of competing for world first, kingdom first, and all kinds of achievements that would give them the lead against other players and put them on top of everyone else.
As for Eclipse Online VRMMORPG, that thrill wasn’t only restricted to such childish joyful moments, since the true meaning behind their accomplishments was beyond that.
This was the reason for their genuine joy and kissing Yone on the forehead...It’s money!
If they were able to become this famous early on, their ranks in their respective guilds, salary, and even respect would skyrocket and reach new heights. Their families would pay more attention to them, their guilds would prioritize them even more, and more importantly, their heads will be up high when walking through towns and cities from now on.
That’s the true adrenaline rush everyone felt at this moment, and the sole thing that every pro gamer fighting to become the best wished for...
Wealth and Power!
Alas, as everyone was jumping with joy and talking about the rewards and the loot plus reward, Yone had a deep frown on his face as he looked through the system announcements once more through his message panel, his hand shaking and head buzzing.
"We aren’t the first across the whole world? How the hell did this happen!"
