"As for this… Nine Solitary Spears isn"t that great indeed, but the squad that he has formed is formidable… Moreover, no one said that the leader had to be more powerful than his men, just look at Fearless!" Crotch Lord replied.
"Oh, that"s true, I thought Fearless was a special case, who knew that there were others.".
"…" with a black face, Fearless retorted, "Just you two wait!".
Nine Solitary Spears" team had already stepped into the valley. w.a.n.g Yu said, "Are we not following them?".
He was experienced in dungeons, and he knew the way around them.
When fighting these individual monsters, the best way was to send a few men to lure them in and vanquish them together. This could increase the clear speed and was a safe method.
"No rush, look, they"re going to fall soon," Fearless waved him off.
"?" w.a.n.g Yu wondered, "What do you mean?".
These skeletons may have had low attributes, but Nine Solitary Spears only had five men, although they had the so-called greatest MT, it might not have been as easy as they thought.
"Heh, have you not noticed these monsters" formation?" Fearless smiled.
"Formation?" w.a.n.g Yu responded as he looked over, immediately realising what was going on.
These skeletons were not just standing around, they had the warriors in front and the mages behind, with the archers forming the last line of attack…
"This is bad, aren"t they going to die then?" w.a.n.g Yu said, startled.
In , the hardest sort of monsters was always presented in these formations, because in the system settings that was always the case.
If aggro were to be drawn, every single monster in the formation would get an attack BUFF. The most disgusting thing was this collective BUFF…
Back in the Saintly City, w.a.n.g Yu had instigated the aggro of the Judgement Knights to attack "Imperial Root", precisely because the Judgement Knights had this same formation.
Despite outnumbering the Judgement Knights by over a 100, the Imperial Root still retreated.
The Skeletons here were the troopers of the Sixth Apostle, of course they were placed in formation…
But because the skeletons were placed more spa.r.s.ely, in addition to the terrain of the Valley, it created an illusion that they were randomly scattered.
Fearless laughed, "Let them die then, it doesn"t matter to us… we"re already here anyway…".
"That"s not the right mindset to have, no matter what, they helped us get in, how can we let them die?" w.a.n.g Yu replied.
Fearless responded, "They wanted to proceed by themselves, what could we have done?".
w.a.n.g Yu wanted to say something, but Nine Solitary Spears and his team had already reached the vicinity of the nearest Skeleton. After Thunderlord taunted them, the Skeletons raised their weapons and began charging at the team.
Nine Solitary Spears hid behind Thunderlord, but after the first attack struck, Thunderlord immediately shouted, "This is not good, retreat, quick!".
Before he could ask anything, the monsters in front of them had a.s.sembled together as the warriors in front formed a front line and the archers rained down arrows.
"F*ck!" Nine Solitary Spears gasped at the sight of this.
Thunderlord lived up to his name, with a raise of his s.h.i.+eld, he blocked the nether fire and the bone arrows as the warriors in front rammed into his s.h.i.+eld. With a swing of his weapon, Thunderlord cut his s.h.i.+eld into half to form a double handed sword, striking them downwards and shattering the earth, sending the Skeletons within a five-metre radius of him airborne.
Airborne was the most terrifying crowd control status in the game, the earth shattering attack sent them airborne for a whole two seconds, allowing Nine Solitary Spears and his team to retreat.
"Wow, is this the fabled "Dual Air Seeker Strike"?" Crotch Lord exclaimed, excited by what he saw.
s.h.i.+eld Raise, Charge, Earth Shattering Strike, these three skills were individual skills, and all three needed a significant charge time before they could be used, hence, they were hard to combine together.
Thunderlord used s.h.i.+eld Raise"s cast time to prepare the Charge skill, and during the duration of the Charge skill, he would charge the Earth Shattering Strike Skill. Together, this combo was called the "Dual Air Seeker Strike".
Crotch Lord was a Guardian and had heard of this ultimate combo before, but seeing it for himself, it was hard to believe that someone could time these skills to such perfection.
He knew that this could not have been accomplished based on superior reaction time, there had to be something else.
This was the very reason why he held Thunderlord in such high regard.
Seeing his mechanics, w.a.n.g Yu"s eyes s.h.i.+mmered, this guy was clearly significantly more powerful than all the pros he had met.
After sending the Skeletons flying, Thunderlord saw that Nine Solitary Spears and his team and retreated. Using his sword and divided s.h.i.+eld, he blocked a final wave of ranged attacks and slowly retreated as well. The Skeletons did not give chase and returned to their original formation.
"What the f*ck, who would have known that these Skeletons were formation monsters? Luckily we have Thudnerlord, or we would have been dead…" Nine Solitary Spears heaved a sigh of relief.
"Didn"t you say they were trash tier monsters?" Fearless mocked.
"They ARE tras.h.!.+ Fearless, you probably already knew the moment you saw them that they were formation monsters, am I right?" Thunderlord said calmly.
"No, I couldn"t tell," Fearless denied.
"Hmph! Even if you didn"t, you were cowardly in trying to use them to harm our team, seems like you aren"t any good yourself," Thunderlord said coldly.
Crotch Lord could tell that things were getting tense, so he interrupted them, "Big brother Thunderlord, don"t get angry, Fearless really didn"t know. You were amazing in your combo just now, is there any chance you can teach me?".
With a blank expression, Thunderlord looked at him and laughed, "Who are you to learn from me?".
