Chapter 492 Judgment
Chapter 492 Judgment
His hand gripped the warhammer so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"President???"
Carl leaned in from the side and asked in a low voice, "Should we go in? Or should we wait and see?"
Emily did not answer.
Her gaze passed over Kisla and landed on the players who were also observing in the distance, as well as the top experts in those solo teams.
She was waiting, waiting for the first person to step forward.
......
Sato stood in front of the Dark Ravens, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his gaze as calm as a still pond.
But deep within his pupils burned a flame—a fighting spirit that only ignited when facing an opponent worthy of drawing his sword.
How deep can his knife cut?
Can his full-force attack with Shadow Dance Dual Blades break through that layer of black bone plate?
How deep a wound can be left on it?
Hattori Hanji was hidden in the shadows behind him, his presence almost imperceptible.
This is the state of [Aura Concealment] at full power; even his teammates can barely sense his presence.
He was waiting, waiting for the most opportune moment to make his move.
Chishima Rin stood to one side, her hand on the poisoned dagger, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.
Her dagger is coated with paralyzing toxins collected from level 30 elite monsters. How long will it be effective against level 60 bosses?
0.5 seconds? Or one second?
Yamamoto Tatsuno stood not far away, his face full of fat twitching, seemingly lost in thought.
His hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly, an unconscious action when he was nervous.
Sato knew that he was very fast, so fast that ordinary players couldn't even see his moves.
But the monster's shockwave had covered at least fifty meters and moved faster than he could sprint at full speed. He couldn't dodge it.
So he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity—
An opportunity for this monster to reveal a weakness.
......
Raji, carrying his battle axe, stared intently at Kisla like a wild beast eyeing its prey.
His health is currently at 60%.
That last surge of attacks was a desperate effort by Arjun to pull him back from 10%.
He glanced down at his health bar, then at the nicks and chips on the edge of his battle axe, and grinned.
But his eyes shone brighter than ever.
Arjun had seen that light three times—
Every time, it's when Raj is ready to fight with all his might.
"Arjun".
"what?"
Arjun's voice carried a clear sense of wariness.
"Keep an eye on my health bar, I'm about to go in."
When Raj said this, his eyes never left Kisla for a second.
Arjun rolled his eyes.
"Heartbroken" is an understatement to describe his feelings.
He glanced at his blue bar—
There's 65% left. Just now, in order to save this madman, he used the [Tranquility Mantra] three times, [Life Link] twice, and an emergency single-target intensive heal once.
And now, this madman tells him he's going to go.
"You fucking..."
Arjun started to curse, but then swallowed it back.
He knew he couldn't stop them.
......
Ye Yao was hidden in the shadows, almost blending into the night—
This is the rogue class's [Shadow Cloak], but with her talent buff, the stealth effect is at least 50% stronger than that of a normal rogue.
Her gaze shifted from the BOSS, sweeping over the others who were also observing the situation—
Emily, Sato, Raj, Zhang Tianya... she took in the position, state, and expression of everyone.
Shen Yiyi stood not far to her side, her staff tightly gripped, ready to perform the treatment at any moment.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between Ye Yao and the BOSS, her lips pressed tightly together.
"take it easy."
Ye Yao's voice drifted from the shadows, very softly, "It's not time for us to make a move yet."
Shen Yiyi nodded, but her grip on the staff didn't loosen even slightly.
......
Zhang Tianya carried a shield and stood at the front of the group.
His shield had developed several more cracks in the previous wave of amalgamations.
There is a line that extends from the center of the shield to the edge, about 30 centimeters long, and the edge has begun to curl up.
But overall it's still in pretty good condition, and it can at least hold out for a few more rounds.
He looked at the enormous thing in the distance, and surprisingly, he didn't grin foolishly.
"What's wrong?"
Li Weiwei walked over and followed his gaze to Kisla. "Scared?"
Zhang Tianya shook his head: "It's not fear."
"What is that?"
Zhang Tianya chuckled, but quickly suppressed his smile.
He turned to look at Li Weiwei, his eyes filled with a seriousness she rarely saw: "We've had such a tough fight, but this boss is just a matter of one skill from Boss Lin Tian."
He then looked at the BOSS, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion—
It was a complex emotion, a mixture of awe, defiance, and a touch of resentment.
"So we can't afford to embarrass ourselves too much, right?"
Li Weiwei paused for a moment, then smiled: "Yes."
......
Emily was the first to step forward.
She stepped out of the crowd, her golden warhammer gleaming faintly in the moonlight—
That was the light of holy flame energy flowing across the surface of the hammer; with each breath, the brightness of the light would change.
Her steps were steady, each step firm, making a crisp "crunching" sound as she stepped on the gravel.
She walked to the open space in the center of the battlefield and stopped.
The voice was cool and clear, yet it reached everyone's ears distinctly.
Let's work together to defeat the boss.
A commotion broke out in the crowd.
Some began to whisper among themselves, some hesitated, and others' eyes shone with hope—
Emily is quite well-known among players, and her stepping forward was like a reassurance to everyone.
A moment later, a dark shadow gathered around Emily—
Ye Yao emerged from the darkness, twirling the cracked dagger in her hand before sheathing it at her waist.
Her movements were casual, but everyone saw the crack on the dagger—
Those are the marks left from the battle just now; each crack is proof of an extreme output.
Ye Yao didn't say anything, she just stood beside her.
The two people were about two meters apart, not too far and not too close, so that they would not interfere with each other and could provide immediate support.
Shen Yiyi also stepped out from the crowd and stood behind Ye Yao.
She gripped her staff tightly, her gaze sweeping over the players still observing from the sidelines, then she slightly raised her chin—
That was a provocation, and also a declaration:
Our people have already stepped forward.
On the other side, Zhang Tianya strode over carrying a shield, the edge of which dragged a shallow groove in the ground.
Li Weiwei followed behind, her staff still bearing the marks of the battle, with several charred spots on its shaft.
