Chapter 100 If You Have the Guts, Come Here
"Everyone, stay alert! Mender's Aid Brigade, take your position in the center. Guardian Relief Squad, provide protection for the healers. MT, be ready to activate life-saving skills at any moment. Spearhead Vanguard, prepare for battle!" Isabella wasn't frightened at all; she immediately gave orders, ready for anything.
Scarlet were at her most complacent, problems always arose.
Only this time, the problem came a bit too quickly.
Scarlet, who had been relaxed earlier, suddenly gripped her crystal staff tightly.She had shed her playful demeanor and now wore a serious expression, meticulously observing every movement around her while showcasing her exceptional skills.
The rest of Devouring Serpents didn't dare to be careless anymore. Although they were confident in their equipment and believed they could crush Shadowmoon Graveyard, the sudden deaths of two members shook their confidence. They had to be cautious now. As for Eric's Squad, they were even more nervous. Deep down, they still considered themselves newbie players, and in their eyes, the elite members of Devouring Serpents were absolute experts, far superior in skill.
And yet, these experts, dressed in top-notch Bronze Level Outfits, had died inexplicably...Shadowmoon Graveyard was terrifying!
Seeing everyone so tense, Eric remained calm. No one knew better than him what had happened, or rather, he had anticipated these events.
Shadowmoon Graveyard wasn't so simple; it could be cleared easily with good equipment and a few experts. In the previous life, countless guilds had been wiped out repeatedly, but with Isabella's team's strength, they could pass after a dozen or so wipes, though the cost was high.
"Something's coming, MT; be ready," Eric squinted his eyes and looked at the approaching mist, issuing a warning.
Everyone immediately tensed up and looked over.
"What is that?" Shield Warrior noticed a vague figure in the mist.
The figure was barely discernible in the dark mist, slowly moving like a snail. As it drew nearer, the eerie wailing became increasingly louder, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present.
The figure was about to emerge from the mist.
"MT, use survival skills!" Eric shouted.
Shield Warrior completely ignored Eric.
He had always looked down on Eric. The last time he saw Eric, he was just a lucky newbie player, only getting the captain's attention because he was familiar with Divine Realms: Legends. Even though Eric was now level 6, it was only because he knew the quests and monsters well. He had no real skill.
Even if Eric's skills were decent, Devouring Serpents had gathered over five thousand expert players from various virtual games over the past decade. They didn't lack players like Eric. In fact, they could easily find players better than Eric within the guild.
While Shield Warrior may not have paid much attention, Guardian Knight Cola always placed his trust in Eric. He immediately used the Blessing of Protection on himself.
As soon as the figure stepped out of the mist, two black beams shot out, instantly targeting the front-line MT.
The beams were as fast as bullets, and the heavy MT couldn't dodge them.Isabella then shouted, "MT, use survival skills!"
However, Isabella's warning came too late.
The Shield Warrior was directly pierced by a black beam, taking over 1600 damage and dying instantly.
He stared at the black beam through his chest, dying with regret.
Cola, having used Blessing of Protection, reduced the damage by 50%. Combined with Eric's Mithril Level Sky Armor, he only took over 500 damage, losing more than half his health.
Everyone was stunned by this scene—a level 5 MT in Bronze Level Outfit was killed in one shot.
And more figures were emerging from the mist.
Recalling the terrifying black beams, Isabella immediately ordered, "Healers, heal! Everyone retreat! Guardian Knight, cover everyone, and those with defensive skills, protect the Guardian Knight."
Cola hesitated upon hearing Isabella's order and lturned to Eric, awaiting his response. "Retreat, but mind your positioning. Stay in line with the others." Eric nodded. Following Eric's command, Cola began to act.
Isabella felt a bit uncomfortable seeing this but didn't say anything.
However, Scarlet was not pleased. She thought, 'How could a newbie player disregard Isabella's command and listen to a lucky henchman like Eric? Was Ice Goddess's skill and leadership inferior to Eric's?'
But just as Scarlet was about to speak, she shut her mouth.
As Cola retreated, he used his shield to block the black beams targeting others and even dodged the attacks himself, all while retreating in an orderly manner. This was not the behavior of a newbie player; his skills were even better than their team's Shield Warrior.
With four healers focusing on Cola, his health stayed in the safe zone. In critical moments, Eric would use Parry to help Cola block the black beams, saving his life.
This changed the minds of some Devouring Serpents members who doubted Eric. They soon came to the realization that they were incapable of replicating what Eric had done, and his repeated acts of salvation served as undeniable evidence of his skill rather than mere luck.
As long as Cola stayed alive, everyone else was safe. Eric held the fate of the entire group in his hands.
"It seems I underestimated him," Isabella thought, giving Eric a new level of respect. Although she was also helping to block attacks, she couldn't do it as smoothly as Eric. He blocked attacks without hindering Cola's movements.
After retreating a certain distance, they finally saw the figures in the mist clearly.They were towering, two-person-high figures with black iron claws on their arms. The claws shot out like swords during attacks and retracted quickly, all in the blink of an eye.Zombified Kobold, special elite, level 6, 5000 HP.
Just one Zombified Kobold was enough to be a headache, but six were emerging from the mist, along with a horde of Kobold warriors.
Seeing this, everyone realized the difficulty of the team dungeon was more than ten times that of a small dungeon.
"This is the end," Scarlet despaired at the sight of so many elites and special elites, "How are we supposed to fight this?"
Everyone agreed with Scarlet.
"Is there really no way to get through this?" Isabella frowned, unwilling to give up the dungeon.
At this moment, Eric spoke, "If we utilize the terrain to our advantage and coordinate effectively, it is not an impossible feat."
The members of Devouring Serpents felt irritated by Eric's words, thinking he was mocking Isabella's command and their skills.
"Easy for you to say. With so many elites and special elites, who has a way? If you're so capable, you do it," Scarlet sneered at Eric.
