Chapter 81: Innocent Victims Caught in the Crossfire

"It’s truly exhilarating right now."The Iron Black Pot pierced an ordinary Gana in front of him with a single thrust, then subtly twisted the spearhead before stabbing towards the next Gana.

At this moment, these Ganas clashed fiercely with the players once again, and the players couldn’t be happier.

Mr. Zhou glanced into the distance, then turned to look at Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching beside him: "Mr. Qian, did you notice? It seems all these Ganas are targeting just the two of us."

"And that boss, concealed among the ordinary Ganas, is also heading this way. Does he despise us that much, planning to perish together with us?"

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching observed intently for a moment, then casually dispatched an ordinary Gana: "It seems like this boss realizes that merely evading won’t solve the problem. As long as we track him down, we can use magic to control him."

"So, he has no other option and is taking the risk to eliminate us both, huh?"

"I have to admit, this game is incredible. The boss’s AI is quite decent, but he’s severely underestimating us players."

"If it were at the beginning when we first entered and weren’t well-coordinated, he might have had a chance. But now, he’s just coming to his doom."

"I’m all set to take him down."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou smiled as he surveyed the surroundings, constantly dealing finishing blows, while also preparing to cast magic at any moment.

Finally, the ordinary Ganas covering the middle-tier knight Gana converged with the group of ordinary Ganas attacking the players.

The players struck more fiercely, yet with a hint of strategic maneuvering in their actions.

The players weren’t foolish; they all realized that the opponents’ targets were Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Mr. Zhou, the two mages.

As the battle intensified, the corpses around the players piled up higher and higher. Suddenly, a group of figures broke through the crowd at lightning speed, launching attacks at the players’ weakest point.

This group of figures was precisely the low-tier knight Ganas. At this point, two of them were each holding the arms of the middle-tier knight Gana, assisting him in charging forward.

The middle-tier knight Gana had been severely injured, mainly in the internal organs and legs, significantly hindering his movement.

He relied on the help of these low-tier knight Ganas to get close to Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Mr. Zhou, allowing him to attack.

Despite his severe injuries, not yet fully healed, over time, his battle energy had recovered by eighty percent. As long as he seized the opportunity to close the distance, he could eliminate the two mages.

Just then, the players swiftly changed formations. A multitude of shield-bearing players surrounded the outer circle, lifting their shields, and then long weapons stabbed out from the gaps in the shields.


The weapons fiercely stabbed at the approaching low-tier knight Ganas and the supported middle-tier knight Gana.

The players’ maneuver was so quick and without any warning, precisely timed as these low-tier knight Ganas and the middle-tier knight Gana were about to strike, leaving them no room to retreat.

The next moment, their stone spears pierced the players’ shields, but the players’ extended long weapons also penetrated their bodies.

Immediately after, the shield-bearing players twisted their shields, forcibly snatched the stone spears from their hands, then the shields dispersed, and a large number of longsword-wielding players surged forward, delivering the final blow to these low-tier knights.

The middle-tier knight Gana’s battle energy surged, coating the held stone spear, and with a sharp swing, he drove away all the weapons closing in on him.

However, his internal organ and leg injuries hadn’t healed, making it impossible for him to retreat, and at that moment, two spells struck him from two cleverly calculated directions.

The middle-tier knight Gana couldn’t help but spit a mouthful of blood.

The surrounding players showed no mercy, rushing forward to cut down the middle-tier knight Gana.

"The boss is mine; watch me take him down personally!"

"Boss, bring it on!"

"Finally caught you this time, let’s see where you run!"

"Surrender to death, even if you scream, no one will save you."

...

Watching the players charging at him with skeleton mouths open, the middle-tier knight Gana narrowed his eyes, and then battle energy surged around the stone spear in his hand.

He swung the stone spear violently, first knocking away the weapons aiming at him, then quickly spinning the spear and thrusting it into one of the players.

The player was greatly shocked, twisting his head abruptly, trying to avoid this deadly attack.

With a cold gleam in his eyes, the middle-tier knight Gana trembled the stone spear slightly, continuing towards the player’s head.

He was fully aware that in his current state, escape was impossible, so he might as well take down a few enemies as a consolation.

But just then, two bursts of magic again attacked from two precise angles, hitting the middle-tier knight Gana precisely.

In an instant, the middle-tier knight Gana’s body stiffened, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the player he targeted leaped away and harshly threw his longsword, directly piercing the middle-tier knight’s abdomen.

The middle-tier knight Gana’s eyes widened, instinctively glancing at the longsword in his abdomen, and at that moment, another five or six weapons stabbed in from one side, leaving several transparent holes in his body.

The middle-tier knight Gana felt the life draining rapidly from his body, his strength gradually fading away.

He turned his gaze towards the player who had thrown the longsword into his abdomen, channeling all his remaining battle energy into the stone spear, and with the last breath, fiercely hurled it at the player’s head.

Knights can only achieve a qualitative change in battle energy upon reaching the High Tier, allowing it to remain intact outside the body. Below the High Tier, knights can only contact objects with their bodies and attach energy to sustain its integrity.

When the stone spear left the middle-tier knight Gana’s hand, the energy attached started dissipating rapidly.

However, since it was condensed with all his battle energy, it didn’t dissipate immediately and still retained some destructive power.

At least piercing through a basic enchanted helmet and a low-tier Skeleton Warrior’s head would not be a problem.

Fortunately, at a critical moment, the Iron Black Pot swung his spear, knocking the player’s body aside.

The stone spear pierced through the player’s shoulder, flew a short distance, and then lodged into an ordinary Gana’s chest before stopping.

The Iron Black Pot retrieved his long spear, glancing mockingly at the middle-tier knight Gana’s corpse: "This boss probably never thought that his final attack not only failed to take us down but also eliminated one of his own."
