Chapter 266 Radiant Blessing
Just one Shadowknight Gaia was already overwhelming, and now there are two more.
Even Eric felt powerless...
But having three bosses wasn't the main issue; the key was that even one boss was enough to make everyone despair.
"This quest is way too difficult," Eric said, feeling a headache. He hadn't expected the task Wiseman assigned to be this hard.
If it were a normal Infernal-level Demonic Citadel, Eric might have had a way to handle it, but now, facing three bosses, there was no hope at all.
Shadowknight Gaia, High Overlord Grade, Level 16, 4 million HP.
Fallen Angel Aeldari, High Overlord Grade, Level 16, 3.6 million HP.
Fallen Angel Jera, High Overlord Grade, Level 16, 3.6 million HP.
The quest not only increased the number of bosses but also significantly boosted their strength. With a terrifying 4 million HP, even if the healers used up all their magic, they couldn't deplete it.
Cola might even get killed instantly by Shadowknight Gaia's spear.
"President, we should retreat. This must be a system error. Four million HP, the system is just bullying us," Cola observed for a while and then shook his head, giving up.
"I agree. Maybe we should exit and reset the instance," Tonny nodded.
Everyone else thought it made sense. Even for an Infernal-level, this was too much.
"We've come this far, let's at least give it a try. If the boss is set this strongly, there must be a special way to deal with it," Eric didn't think it was a system error. Since it was set this way, there must be a reason. They might as well try; maybe he could figure something out.
Since Eric said so, no one else objected. It would just cost some experience points, which they could earn back.
So, following their previous strategy, Cola and Greedy Gnawer charged forward to test the boss's level. Cola threw his shield, using Shield of Retribution to draw aggro, but when the shield hit the three bosses, everyone was stunned.
-1, -1, -1...
The three bosses all took only one point of forced damage, their terrifying defense leaving everyone speechless.
"You are courting death," Shadowknight Gaia said, standing up slightly, not rushing to attack Cola. His blood-red eyes narrowed, staring at Cola. His tone was neither angry nor arrogant, just cold and lifeless, like a machine.
Cola felt a chill all over. Although this was a game, the sense of oppression was real.
The two Fallen Angels on either side didn't move either, not even glancing at Cola, as if he weren't worth their attention.
"I don't believe it."
Cola mustered his courage and used Punishment on Shadowknight Gaia, but it still only did one point of damage, making everyone feel sick to their stomachs.
This time, Shadowknight Gaia moved, casually drawing a spear and thrusting it at Cola. The air exploded with a bang, and the spear struck Cola's chest, dealing over 2,900 damage, leaving him with only a few hundred HP, almost killing him.
As Shadowknight Gaia was about to strike again, a holy light descended from the sky, enveloping Cola.
The sharp spear was blocked by the holy light as if it had struck solid iron, unable to penetrate.
"There's definitely a trick," Eric smiled as he looked at the holy light descending from the sky. A figure emerged from the light, and Eric shouted in the group chat, "Everyone, attack! Healers, focus on Cola."
Everyone had just been testing the waters without any hope, but now that an opportunity had arisen, they couldn't let it slip.
The atmosphere in the group changed instantly, no longer gloomy.
"Hmm, why is it her?" Eric suddenly noticed that the figure emerging from the holy light looked very familiar. When he saw the holy face, he was momentarily stunned.
He never expected the person to be Tier 3 High Priestess Sharon.
"Wow, my goddess!" Tonny almost drooled.
Not to mention Sharon's stunning beauty and graceful figure, her extraordinary aura alone made her impossible to ignore. Combined, she was even more captivating than Ice Goddess Isabella.
After Sharon landed in the hall, she didn't look at the people behind her but focused intently on Shadowknight Gaia and the two Fallen Angels beside him.
When Shadowknight Gaia saw Sharon, his cold, emotionless face showed a hint of fear.
"Gaia, we'll handle this one. After you deal with those lowly ants, open the portal and let this land be filled with fear and death again," said one of the Fallen Angels.
"Yes, Aeldari," Shadowknight Gaia replied respectfully.
At the same time, Sharon turned to the group and said, "Adventurers, Gaia, for his own selfish reasons, has turned everyone in this castle into demons, making their lives worse than death. Now he plans to open the portal to the demon world, summoning an undead army to attack Silvervale City. You must stop Gaia and prevent Silvervale City from being devastated."
After Sharon finished speaking, she chanted a divine spell and pointed at the group, bestowing a status on everyone.
Radiant Blessing, all attributes increased by 200 points.
"This blessing is awesome! My spell damage is over a thousand, and my HP is over five thousand. This is great," Tonny said excitedly.
Not only Tonny but everyone was excited. They felt full of power, ready to crush the previous boss, Knight Commander Fred Justin.
Even the spellcasters had over five thousand HP, and the melee classes had around six thousand. Cola, the MT, had over seven thousand HP, practically a mini-boss.
As Sharon and the two Fallen Angels left, Shadowknight Gaia charged at the team, ready to wreak havoc.
Seeing Shadowknight Gaia, everyone suddenly felt he wasn't so scary anymore.
Although one spear could deal nearly three thousand damage to Cola, Cola now had over seven thousand HP, and the healers' spell damage was so high that a small heal could restore over a thousand HP, easily keeping up.
Cola led the charge, slashing at Shadowknight Gaia with a sword, followed by a Punishment.
-328, -641 damage numbers appeared above Shadowknight Gaia's head.
Eric used Silent Stride to get behind Shadowknight Gaia and slashed at his neck, dealing over 1,200 damage, with Cleaving Strike adding another 600.
Compared to the physical classes, the spellcasters had an even greater boost.
Tonny's Shadow Bolt dealt over two thousand damage, and if it crit, it would be four thousand. Rosewater's Inferno Burst dealt over 1,500 damage.
Other spellcasters could also deal around 1,200 damage to Shadowknight Gaia, which was quite impressive.
In contrast, Shadowknight Gaia's damage to Cola had decreased to around 2,400.
With the damage difference, even with Shadowknight Gaia's four million HP, the group was confident they could take him down.
As Shadowknight Gaia's HP gradually decreased, his attacks became fiercer, and the damage to Cola increased from 2,400 to 2,700.
