Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Start

“Jin Jin and the bedside table should each take on a close combat ancient tree, while the healers assigned to the two of them should follow suit. You enchantress and Shadow Dance, the two thieves, must continually interrupt or disrupt the Balance System Ancient Tree’s spellcasting, don’t give it a chance to release the Cloud Thunder Technique.”

While Li Yao led his team towards the direction of the boss, he swiftly continued, “Fruit, you’re in charge of drawing the boss’s hate. Coordinate with two healers, and try your best to control the boss. If possible, pull him to the middle of the map, don’t stay at the edges.”

As Li Yao had explained at the beginning, the platform of the large tree was expansive. If one was sucked in by the boss’s energy ball while in the middle, there would be buffer time to respond before being flung off the edge and directly towards the outside world of the trees. That would mean leaving the elemental orb and plummeting to death.”

During the last attempt, most people tragically fell to their death this way.

“The rest of you, follow my lead and first focus fire on this Nature System Treant healer. But remember to spread out. Maintain a minimum distance of three yards from each other to leave space for evading the Nightmare Ejections.”

With Li Yao’s command, everyone took their positions.

The several tanks each rushed towards their targets and swiftly built up enmity.

Meanwhile, Li Yao led his team to directly besiege the Nature System Treant. Although the boss and other ancient trees were under control, they were not mindless.

They fully understood the importance of the Nature System’s healing Treant and attempted to rescue it.

However, being blocked by the tanks, reaching it proved immensely difficult.

“It’s not working. The boss seems to be immune to the hate mechanism. His resistance is too high. All of my control techniques barely work for three to four seconds. Now he’s running away,” the Fruit Knight said on the team channel.

Everyone’s face changed color. This was not according to plan.

“Don’t panic. After all, we understand too little about the boss, so it’s normal for accidents to occur.” Despite the seriousness of the situation, Li Yao remained collected: “The boss must be controlled at the center, which is essential.

Now, follow my command. All of you, follow the spider tank and guide the Nature System’s attack to the center.”

While Li Yao was directing and outputting, he also had to control three pets, especially the spider tank.

The spider tank had strong combat instincts, but it needed Li Yao to fully take over its control power so that he could guide the healing treant to the center in its stead.

“This treant’s healing is strong, but as long as we rotate in the order I arranged and alternately interrupt and control, it won’t be able to heal itself much. We should be able to kill it quickly. However, when I say ‘turn fire’, apart from those few controlling the boss, everyone else must switch to fire immediately.” Even though Li Yao had explained the boss’s patterns, he had to remind them during the intense battle, for many people could easily lose their cool. This is where a leader truly shines.

“Understood.” The members’ nerves tightened.

“You frail and feeble beings, you will never understand the power of the Nightmare God. Accept the punishment of the nightmare.” The centaur High Priest directly raised his staff, and a dark rune glow flickered beneath everyone’s feet.

Clearly, this High Priest had turned this large tree into a rune matrix.

Nightmare Ejection!

With the runes flickering, a vortex appeared over the High Priest’s head. As the black vortex rotated, numerous black elemental orbs, just like last time, were ejected in all directions.

“Everyone, dodge. Don’t be greedy for output.” Li Yao spoke while evading the incoming Nightmare Balls and still outputting onto the Treant.

This Nature System Treant might not have much attack power, but its healing ability was formidable. Despite the interruptions and restrictions, it is still, after all, boss-level, with strong immunity to control.

The Starfire player was only elite-level so controlling a boss would take a long journey.

The boss’s skill projectiles were extremely fast, and their trajectories chaotic and dense. The members had to constantly flip and dodge around.

However, some were not as lucky and just as they dodged an orb, another one would fall on them, immediately disappearing their character.

The first person to fall was Mu Zi. His luck was terrible. The Nightmare Orbs seemed to target him. He didn’t even have a chance to cast instant spells. Despite his relentless dodging, he was eventually hit.

“Target the purple nightmare orbs. Focus fire to break them.” As Li Yao spoke, he had already switched to attacking the purple Nightmare Balls. If a player gets hit by these black orbs, they will be trapped in the nightmare, entering a state of nightmare. Consequently, the ball will turn from black to purple.

The surrounding players evaded the Nightmare Balls while continually using instant spells or techniques to attack the purple orbs.

The Nightmare Orb’s HP and defence were not very high, only about twenty thousand. Under concentrated fire, they would shatter on the spot.

Just as the Nightmare Ball was about to move Mu Zi a little further, he fell out. As Mu Zi emerged, his HP had already decreased by a fifth, demonstrating the horrifying rate of HP loss.

“Everyone, don’t worry about it. As long as we work together, we can overcome this skill.” Li Yao reassured the team.

“Boss, after falling out of the ball, you acquire a buff. For the next fifteen seconds, you cannot attack the boss. However, you will gain an immunity effect. The nightmare will not affect me, and I will also get a 5% attack power boost.” The newbie Mu Zi spoke up loudly.

“Understood. Then you go all out, attack the Nature System Treant, and don’t worry about anything else.” Li Yao said, “Everyone else focuses fire on allies restrained by the Nightmare Ball. Remember, don’t let the Nightmare Ball fall and cause the death of an ally. The Nightmare Ball needs to be shattered within six seconds.”

As the skill continued, more and more members were hit by the Nightmare Ball and subsequently saved by focused fire. But with the spread out formation, Li Yao could not possibly manage the entire battlefield alone, not to mention the other members.

The skill lasted for one minute. In the end, three members were taken to the edge by the Nightmare Balls. When they came out, one mage, who could Flash, teleported directly onto the platform, narrowly preserving his life with only a sliver of HP. The other two, however, were not as fortunate as they fell right off.

However, Starfire had gained a victory. Even though the Nature System Treant kept healing itself, Li Yao’s firepower was too overwhelming. He himself, along with several pets and constant attacks from other members, resulted in…

the defeat of the Nature System Treant after the boss’s skill ended. It fell to the ground and turned into a dead tree.

“You shall not hinder me.” The centaur’s High Priest waved his staff, and three rays of light fell onto the remaining three Treants.

Instantly, the three ancient trees (Treants) grew considerably larger, their eyes turning a bright red, exuding an air of frenzy…
