The teams of the Black & White guild are intensely battling at the Tomb of The Immortal Blade.
Mujou either stands outside directing or joins in the fight, depending on the formation.
The situation is truly tense.
This time, the Pioneer expedition might be able to surpass the First Boss sooner than expected!
In previous dungeons, the average time to clear the First Boss was 2 weeks, with easier ones taking 1 week.
With the Godlike difficulty, the initial estimate to defeat the First Boss was at least 1 month.
But a miracle has occurred!
The Hidden Storyline unlocked level 79 and the Almighty Technique, Ultimates !
The power boost from many players leveling up from 69 to 79 is akin to leveling from 1 to 69.
Therefore, it's really a strong buff for the teams.
Even the combo of the Fighting Monk and Flying Blade teams focusing the Phantom of The Immortal Blade's damage can now reduce its health to 37%.
Teams constantly adjust their formations to effectively handle the Phantom of The Immortal Blade.
The boss evolves, but so do the players.
Guilds are now fiercely competing for every percentage of the Boss's health.
It's estimated that at 30%, there will be another mechanism.
Everyone is holding their breath to see if tonight the milestone of 30% can be surpassed.
Mujou is now extremely tense watching the battles.
"Switch Kiet Phu in."
The captain of a team nodded.
Kiet Phu belongs to Heaven's Pride's guild.
He's here under orders from Heaven's Pride to fight as a mercenary.
Mujou's dream team is now complete.
Fighting Monk, Flying Blade, Divine Druid, Onmyoji.
This combination really is a copy of the Fighting Monk and Flying Blade from Noodle Shop, which he's not afraid to admit.
But this is a new variant, with the Divine Druid!
Break through 30% for us!
.
.
.
The team of the Moonlight Clan has already been set for this dungeon.
No One felt a bit regretful that Snow Moon wasn't participating. The Divine Druid is extremely formidable.
Looking at the screens showing other teams tackling the dungeon, he noticed that the Black & White guild has also used the Divine Druid.
Today's prepared team includes No One, Sword of Love, Lady Lam, Hana, TwinBird, Cherished Dream, Lunar Ren, Hau Hau Noodle.
"Lady Lam, have you decided if we will continue in the original state or switch to Demonic?"
Lady Lam nodded.
She had hesitated quite a bit. In the current original state, the highest any team has achieved is 68%.
They haven’t unlocked the mechanism at 60% yet.
Meanwhile, there’s already a strategy for the Demonic approach at 60%.
In theory, using the Demonic approach could potentially allow completion of the First Boss faster.
But never mind it.
"Original state. Continue."
The whole team nodded.That's good too.
The Demonic path has already been taken by too many people.
Even if we follow it now, we would only be behind them.
The best way is to forge our own path.
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!
No One preferred it that way too.
"Alright, I'll announce the team for tonight's start."
"Lady Lam, Sword of Love, Hau Hau Noodle, Cherished Dream."
Their levels are 76, 75, 75, and 75, respectively.
Lady Lam was quite diligent in grinding, which inadvertently helped her level up one level higher than the others.
On average, everyone is at level 75.
No One, however...
On the first day, in a rush, he threw a basket of flowers to Snow Moon.
He got so caught up in other things that he forgot to ask for them back.
He didn't have enough to buy experience.
No One had already studied the Almighty Techniques of everyone's class.
That's how he decided on this lineup.
He had planned for Hau Hau Noodle to fight for a long time, but last time they reached 80% so they didn't put him in yet.
"Everyone, enter the dungeon. Let's beat the boss!"
"Let's win...!"
The whole group joyfully entered.
Lady Lam followed last, smiling at everyone.
Moonlight Clan had a slim chance from the beginning to surpass the top clans for the first kill. It has always been quite challenging.But seeing everyone like this, she was happy too.
From the beginning, the Moonlight Clan was created for everyone to laugh and enjoy together.
...
The familiar arena of the Phantom of The Immortal Blade appeared.
However, this time there was something special.
This time, the appearance of the Phantom of The Immortal Blade was different.
The outfit was like the Immortal Blade in the Sea of Flames in the past, but the face-covering had been removed.
Revealing the beautiful visage of the Immortal Blade, Avery Snow.
The name also appeared.
【Lv100 Phantom of Avery Snow】
So that's it.
The "True Name" of the Immortal Blade had been revealed.
The True Name System was introduced around the second update after the game's release.
Many initial enemies would have a generic name, like "Tribe Leader Dharma."
After players completed side quests, the tribe leader's name would change to "Tribe Leader Dharma - Madong."
The characteristic of the True Name System is that enemies defeated while having their "True Name" provide greater rewards.
No One watched the other's guilds stream.
【Lv200 Phantom Demonic Form of Immortal Blade】
No real name.
So it means that only in its original state does the Phantom of The Immortal Blade have a "True Name."
It seems to be an influence of the Hidden Storyline.
"Alright, let's go!"
This time, the whole team stayed outside first.
【Path of The Star Transformation】
【Ritual of War Declaration】
【Yin Yang Formation】
Cherished Dream began casting Buffs.
【Sharpshooter】
Hau Hau activated his skill as well.
His eyes turned golden, displaying a pinpoint symbol within them.
The gun in Hau Hau's hand emitted a golden light.
He knelt down, taking aim with the gun.
This skill required a fairly long casting time but delivered terrifying high damage.
And it was also true damage.
Sword of Love stood on the edge of the arena, just like they'd done before.
The live channel had started buzzing with excitement.
[Here we go! Moonlight Clan vs Phantom of The Immortal Blade!!!]
[The first team to unlock the hidden storyline!!!]
[Go, go! Great Lady Lam forever awesome!!!]
Sword of Love turned around, facing his back to the Boss.
He stepped backward toward the Boss.
[Haha, what's Sword of Love doing over there?]
[A luck-boosting ritual? Where’s the gacha table, spin now!]
Sword of Love took a deep breath.
"Seven...Plum...Blossom...Sword."
【Seven Plum Blossom Sword】
Whoosh.
Six phantoms appeared before him.
Sword of Love immediately charged towards the Boss.
The seventh phantom, remaining at his position, was also clearly visible.
The sword was drawn.
Sword of Love threw a Plum Blossom Blade into the sky.
【Hidden Technique of The Phantom Blade: No Thought】
In his hand was the Emperor's Long Sword, and he dashed towards the Phantom of The Immortal Blade, ready to strike.
The skill's effect manifested.
The mist turned violet by the Divine Art of Violet Mist.
"This sword..."
[Here it comes! Here it comes!!!]
[This sword...BLADE SLASH!]
【This Sword,Shall Cleave Not Men But The Principles】
Slash.
Damage exploded onto the Boss.
Immediately after, he caught the Plum Blossom Blade.
The Phantom Avery Snow immediately glared at Sword of Love.The entire arena was engulfed in purple.
The purple move was about to be unleashed.
BANG.
The Sharpshooter's bullet was fired.
The bullet tore through the air, leaving a trail of sparks in its wake.
【Seven Plum Blossom Sword】
Thud.
BANG.
The gunshot erupted loudly on Phantom Avery Snow.
Sword of Love teleported back to the phantom's position of the Seven Plum Blossom Sword.
For a moment, it seemed the bullet had passed through Sword of Love.
Escaping the range of the purple move.
Successfully dodging the purple move.
At this moment, the entire team was rushing in to deploy their skills.
【Holy Mother Earth】
【Eternal Spear Thrust】
【Earthquake】
【Domain: Great Earth】
【Plum Blossom Slash】
Lady Lam charged at Phantom Avery Snow.
Hau Hau dashed in at this time, activating his debuff skill.
【In Sight】
Enemies within sight will have -20% Evasion.
Allies attacking them gain a 20% increase in Critical Rate and Damage.
Immediately after that.
【Energy Cannon】
"Everyone! Get ready!" No One shouted through the mic.
"Roger!"
The energy cannon was promptly fired, exploding damage on Phantom Avery Snow.【Path of The Star Transformation】
The skill began its cooldown reset.
"Once more!!!"
Countless buffs were activated.
【Energy Cannon】
【Sharpshooter】
【Plum Blossom Slash】
Two almost simultaneous explosions slammed into the Phantom.
"This Sword..."
【This Sword,Shall Cleave Not Men But The Principles】
Slash!
Damage kept exploding.
The health bar of Phantom Avery Snow continuously dropped.
【Making Love with the Sword used This Sword,Shall Cleave Not Men But The Principles, reducing 6,353,875 of Phantom Avery Snow's maximum health】
【Making Love with the Sword used Plum Blossom Slash, reducing 3,284,359 of Phantom Avery Snow's maximum health】
【Making Love with the Sword used Plum Blossom Slash, reducing 3,174,586 of Phantom Avery Snow's maximum health】
【Making Love with the Sword used This Sword,Shall Cleave Not Men But The Principles reducing 7,174,586 of Phantom Avery Snow's maximum health】
The team's damage also kept exploding.
When the smoke cleared, the remaining Health of Phantom Avery Snow made everyone sweat but smile.
62%
Almost reaching the 60% mark.
Damn it! Running through the Sea of Flames was totally worth it!
Phantom Avery Snow smiled at this moment.
"Interesting."
