MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 360: Has the Captain Been Driven Mad?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dark Elemental Pikes rained down like a shower of arrows!

Consecutively, from about ten meters, the gigantic Vampiric Spider sped up and charged towards Slayer’s Heart and Little Apple, who were coincidentally the nearest targets within its sight. Like an enormous red and black flowing current, its hungry eyes made it look like it was about to devour and wipe out the two human intruders!

However, Slayer’s Heart was not some typical Tier 4 player.

In the Graveyard of the Gods, he had vanquished all kinds of Tier 5 monster groups. What could a large-bodied and skinny-legged bug possibly do? Adding another one of these creatures would still not be scarier than a Tier 6 monster!

“Scram!”

Slayer’s Heart roared domineeringly and swiftly swung his shield with one hand. Dozens of Dark Elemental Pikes were quickly knocked down by his shield. Matching the power and defense of his full-body Dark Gold Equipment was his exceptional confidence. He was unwavering and extraordinary!

Two more batches of Dark Elemental Pikes came flying over...

Right in front was a large swarm of Vampiric Spiders cascading towards them. The spiders were so humongous, even Slayer’s Heart who was over two meters tall could not help but slightly tilt his head to face the monsters charging at him. Multiple pairs of sharp blades paired with disgusting breaths of hot air were spewed out by the monsters.

Boom!

Just as the first few Vampiric Spiders were about to devour the few humans in front of them, sharp Earth Thorns suddenly rose and tore through their legs, stabbing their bellies and mouthparts...

Roar!

Painful wails filled the area as the Earth Enchanted Spider injured dozens of Vampiric Spiders by swinging around its blades to break down the surrounding Earth Thorns one by one. Above the Spiders’ mouthparts, their four pairs of ghostly blue eyes turned blood-red. They started to hiss before they charged at Slayer’s Heart from different directions!

***

Meanwhile, things were not looking up elsewhere.

Burning Rose dispersed her Meteor Shower and instantly attracted the attention of a whole bunch of Vampiric Spiders. But she had no way of stopping them from accelerating towards her.

Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite’s Psystorm managed to bend the minds of the Vampiric Spiders at the frontmost row of the swarm, briefly stunning them.

On the ceiling above them, hordes of Mannequin Spiders decided to turn their focus to them. As Little Apple activated the Spell Break skill in her Dark Phoenix Spellbreaker Sword and negated the first wave of attack from the Mannequin Spiders, the spiders also entered her Meteor Shower’s attack range.

A batch of Dark Elemental Pikes shot towards Burning Rose who was within a Verdantflame Barrier.

The Verdantflame Barrier tremored incessantly from the endless explosive banging that came from the Dark Elemental Pikes. Burning Rose quickly popped a bottle of HP Potion and continued to control her magic for the Meteor Shower.

Maintaining a state of dual defense against Tier 4 Magic-Type monsters was not particularly difficult for Burning Rose. But it was quite dangerous for Little Apple. Although the first wave of Mannequin Spiders had their attention elsewhere, the ones at the back had noticed Little Apple, who was in their attack range.

Whoosh!

Another wave of Dark Elemental Pikes tore through the air of the dungeon and shot down like lightning. It sounded like the sky was breaking.

“Sh*t!”

Brother Da let out a strange roar, holding his shield up as he rushed in front of Little Apple and took direct blows from the dozens of Dark Elemental Pikes—fortunately, the full body Gold Equipment, which Brother Da renewed, had Magic Defense nearing 100. Along with the shield’s Defense and Violet Orchid’s Buff, total Magic Defense increased by around 120. One wave of attack would only reduce less than 1,000 HP...

However, the Mannequin Spiders were the ones that had been attacking them with the double shooting Dark Elemental Pikes!

Now that the first Dark Elemental Pikes were out, the second wave would be coming any minute!

“Damn! That was vicious.”

Brother Da placed his shield horizontally and thought that he was done for this time.

Yet, right before the attack landed, two series of Healing entered his body. His HP instantaneously increased by 500! (Every piece of Violet Orchid’s Dark Gold Equipment raised the level of her Healing)

Boom! Boom!

Dark Elemental Pikes charged explosively into Brother Da and knocked him against Little Apple’s body. He was left with only a few thousand HP as a result. Nonetheless, it had him celebrating for a while. “Haha! Still alive! I’m still alive!”

However, his happiness was short-lived. Blood-red monsters were now tumbling over towards him like waves...

Countless ghostly giant red spiders with blue eyes were pushing each other forward and rushing towards him! They were all over five meters wide!

“Ugh! I’m done for again!”

Little Apple was almost angered to death by the damn fatso. This always happened whenever they were in the most crucial situations. She gave him a nudge. “Done for my foot! You fat-ass! If you can’t even handle this, don’t ever call me ‘master’ again!”

“Huh? That can’t happen!”

Brother Da moved his fat body and suddenly got himself together. He speedily took out a piece of Boss Sealed Mana Core, which Dinosaurcerer gave him. Then, he poured some magic into it and received the approaching Vampiric Spider swarm with open arms...

Hiss!

A hairy green-skulled spider suddenly appeared in the middle of the Party’s formation, greatly startling the few ladies at the back. Luckily for the Vampiric Spider, it was trapped in a green web when it rushed over. Otherwise, it would have been slain by the Green Goblin Spider summoned by Brother Da within seconds.

The sticky Green Goblin Spider’s web had temporarily trapped two Vampiric Spiders, but merely relying on one Green Goblin Spider would not solve their problems. Even with the Ice Phyton and Poochie as support, there was minimal effect since they were unable to prevent large armies of monsters from advancing their way!

Just as Brother Da and Little Apple managed to hold off the Vampiric Spiders, a Mannequin Spider in the air finished recharging. Two more sleek and magical long, sharp pikes appeared...

With a wave, Dark Elemental Pikes were uniformly shot down!

Feeling that there was a change in their situation, Qin Ruo could bear it no longer, and he quickly materialized the Quadruple Aquarampart that he had been condensing...

Boom!

A loud noise was made!

The Twelve Frostramparts Formation was activated once more—cold air exuded from the Twelve Frostramparts while they converged and rose into the air!

The Mannequin Spiders, as well as Vampiric Spiders that were forced to the front and middle of the formation, simultaneously took damage from breathing in the scary frosty air. The Vampiric Spiders that were in the range of the Twelve Frostramparts’ effect had their speed significantly lowered.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield looked as if it had a complete change in terrain!

***

Slayer’s Heart knocked down the Vampiric Spiders, whose movements apparently went stiff right away, and called out, “Change your shields! Everyone, take turns to hold them off!”

“Violet Orchid, Devilite, you guys handle your side! Don’t worry about me!”

Slayer’s Heart stood still right outside the Twelve Frostramparts Formation and attracted all the Mannequin Spiders’ power!

Qin Ruo happened to have the same idea as Slayer’s Heart!

At that moment, the warriors no longer needed to continue fighting. Their focus was supposed to be attracting the Mannequin Spiders’ offensive power while preventing the Mannequin Spiders from attacking the Frostramparts Formation.

As long as the Frostramparts Formation was maintained, the Vampiric Spiders on the ground would not become much of a threat. As long as the situation was stabilized while they progressively terminated the Mannequin Spiders, the battle would come to an end.

Qin Ruo finally understood when he condensed the Frostramparts. The moment the Twelve Frostramparts Formation was set up, he softly requested Xiaoxiao, who was maintaining the Frostramparts, to continue while he opened up his own Million Arrow Sleet Magic Scroll.

In an instant, the chill that filled the dungeon corridor grew denser—a large surface of ice started to take shape due to the Formation...

On Little Apple and Brother Da’s side, they were temporarily freed from the Vampiric Spiders’ threat due to the Twelve Frostramparts Formation.

Poochie finally displayed its speed!

The Vampiric Spiders that had their speed lowered were like defensive missiles, shuffling outside the Frostramparts Formation. They collided into each other like lightning. Meanwhile, the Vampiric Spiders that were near the formation tumbled around and their bodies overturned amid the swarm, causing the spiders on the ground to turn frantic.

Without the Vampiric Spiders’ threat, Little Apple and Brother Da’s burdens lessened. Just as Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite helped to divide the Twelve Frostramparts Formation to two sides, they fully focused on handling the Mannequin Spiders’ attacks from the air.

Although it was difficult, iLittle Arrow and the Ice Phyton’s mid-air attacks aided in reducing their burdens. While the Mannequin Spiders took a break from their chain attacks, Violet Orchid and Devilite’s Healing quickly recovered half of their damaged HP. They supported each other closely and constantly subdued any threats that came by at the same. In addition to consuming large quantities of HP Potions, they somehow managed to stabilize the entire situation.

On the other side, it all came down to Slayer’s Heart and Qin Ruo’s high-level defense, which somehow forcefully blocked the attacks from the Mannequin Spiders and Vampiric Spiders that spread all over the ceiling...

Ten seconds passed!

The Eighteen Frostramparts somehow received no damage...

Xiaoxiao did not hesitate and proceeded to set up Three Frostramparts. She used a Million Arrow Sleet Magic Scroll to support the worn-out Burning Rose, Little Apple, and Brother Da, who were in slightly more danger.

With the addition of Xiaoxiao, the pressure received at the back area of the corridor was somehow reduced by nearly half...

Moreover, Xiaoxiao’s attack power had increased and was now on par with Burning Rose’s. She was basically mass slaughtering the Mannequin Spiders and Vampiric Spiders. While keeping a close watch, she consumed a piece of Special Roasted Snail.

The two powerful damage dealers combined their magic to double the damage! This time, the Mannequin and Vampiric Spiders within the area finally met their doom. The spiders could not keep up any longer and finally fell to their deaths. Once again, the Party’s experience linearly soared...

Ding dong!

Earth Enchanted Spider has leveled up and advanced to Tier 3!

Within the very next second, the dungeon corridor was filled with a burst of abnormally insane laughter...

At the back, Brother Da, who was just breathing a huge sigh of relief, was flabbergasted by a manic laugh from Slayer’s Heart. He was clueless about what was going on and silently questioned in his heart, ‘Has the captain been driven mad?’
