No One recalled the training sessions with the Heavenly Demon In Black.
During the battle with his smoke-like phantoms and Ye Yu, the Phantom of The Immortal Blade seemed to dance, similar to the current mechanism.
However, the attack by the Phantom of The Immortal Blade back then was actually these strikes.
[Sever The Moon] and [Sever The Sun]
According to the master, these are two skills that were derived from Sever The Sun And Moon.
[Sever The Moon] was taught to the Shadow Assassin.
[Sever The Sun] was taught to the Blade Dancer.
The Moon Slash cuts in a crescent shape.
The Sun Slash delivers a spinning strike around the user.
The Moon Slash is characterized by a blue flame, while the Sun Slash has a red flame.
It turns out that what the Heavenly Demon In Black taught them was to deal with this mechanism.
The whole team revived at Qiu Yu City.
After the Phantom of Avery Snow killed Hao Hao, she immediately proceeded to kill each person affected by the drunk effect.
The red circle earlier displayed, "WRONG."
This meant that Hau Hau did not meet the circle's requirements.
The task now is to find a way to fulfill the requirements of that circle.
"What is the next formation?" Lady Lam spoke up.
No One glanced over at Ye Yu, who had been waiting.
"Cherished Dream, Ye Yu, Lady Lam, Sword of Love."
The team agreed, changed their formation, and entered.
No One also checked on the situation with Black & White.
Currently, they still haven't figured out how to handle the Phantom Demonic Form transforming into the Demonblade.During that stage, even with continuous damage, it couldn't prevent the Phantom Demonic Form from transforming into the Demonblade.
Mujou is mobilizing multiple teams to investigate this issue.
A top guild like Black & White doesn't rely on just one team to go through a dungeon. They have enough resources to support multiple squads.
The Noodle Shop and the Eastern Joy Club are also sending out their teams at this time.
Most of them are going for the Demonic mode. But the Eastern Joy Club is also splitting their people to handle the original state.
For this reason, the Moonlight Clan has to be cautious.
Imitating each other's strategies to compete for the first rank is common.
The Eastern Joy Club had been copying the formation of the Moonlight Clan from the start. Now, they are adapting as well.
In truth, if the Eastern Joy Club had a better formation that the Moonlight Clan could use, they would do the same thing.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
No One isn't bothered by this; it happens too frequently.
However, this means that the stage when the boss's health is low becomes a race between the guilds.
Same tactics, same fighting styles, so at that point, it'll come down to a bit of luck and skill to compete.
The stage below 10% is almost always intense.
...
...
At DMG Corporation, many employees are still at the office.Monitoring the teams running the dungeon in a large room filled with numerous screens.
This room operates almost 24/7, with staff constantly observing the progress of the dungeon teams.
However, during peak times like tonight when many guilds are on the move, more personnel are present to monitor the situation.
Khanh Khanh entered the room and approached Snow Vixen, handing her a warm cup of coffee.
"Tonight, it seems like the whole company will be up all night with the players," she said cheerfully while taking a seat next to Snow Vixen.
Snow Vixen gave a wry smile.
Every time a new dungeon is released like this, it means a sleepless night. If the company weren't paying overtime, she might sneak off somewhere to sleep.
"How are the teams faring?" Director Minh had just entered the room as well, holding a cup of tea.
Snow Vixen opened the data and sent it to him.
"Currently, leading in the Demonic state are the Black & White guild and the Noodle Shop; leading in the original state are the Moonlight Clan and the Eastern Joy Club."
"Most other guilds are close behind, but these guilds have managed to push the boss's health the furthest."
Director Minh looked at the information.
56% for Phantom of Avery Snow.
27% for Phantom Demonic Form.
The Moonlight Clan temporarily leads thanks to a Sharpshooter shot.
On the Phantom Demonic Form side, Black & White and the Noodle Shop both pushed the health down to approximately 27%, with the Noodle Shop having a slight advantage by a few decimal places.
They all had to inflict maximum damage to push it down to 27% before the Boss initiated the Demonblade mechanism.
"Do you predict any guilds will defeat the First Boss tonight?" Director Minh asked as he took a sip of his tea.
Snow Vixen shook her head.
"The Phantom of Avery Snow probably needs over a week. The Demonic form might take a few more days."
He understood.The bosses designed by Tofu are always so frustrating. Any player not careful will meet their end.
The first boss of the Tomb of The Immortal Blade, the Phantom of The Immortal Blade, presents a serious challenge in learning its mechanics.
It's not the type of boss that deals damage in a typical attack cycle.
Instead, every attack it delivers is a guaranteed kill if you’re not on guard.
During internal testing of the boss, very few managed to complete the Tomb of The Immortal Blade on Godlike difficulty.
Even knowing all the boss's mechanics, it's still incredibly difficult.
"Where’s Tofu? Isn't he monitoring?"
"Just now he looked at his phone and then suddenly ran out of this room. I guess he went to the Event Management room."
"Alright, everyone keep monitoring, I'm going to find him."
Director Minh bid farewell to everyone and left.
Tofu loves watching players gettin beaten by the boss, so for him to rush off to the special event management room like that, there must be something wrong.
As he arrived there, he could hear Tofu's frantic screams from inside.
Opening the door, he was greeted by the sight of Tofu pulling at his hair in frustration.
"What’s going on?"
Tofu, startled by the director's voice, stood up quickly.
"Y-yes..."
Tofu swallowed hard.
"A lot of things."
.
.
.
"So boring."
"When are we going to act?"
Giovanni was completely covered, only his plague doctor mask was visible.
"Soon."
Sister Nightingale stood beside him on a building near Qiu Yu City Square, watching the people following the dungeon live.The nun held a morning star mace in her hand.
"Kaiser is about to arrive."
Nightingale looked towards the gate of Qiu Yu City, her malevolent smile and narrowed eyes casting a demonic aura over her usual beauty.
. . .
Director Minh could not believe his eyes.
The Event management room is tasked with overseeing all occurrences in the First World.
DMG has the highest authority over player-related matters.
But for NPCs, they must gather information from this department to prepare.
At this moment, the First World was in extreme turmoil.
Bright red alerts filled the screens.
【FORMATION OF THE DEMONIC PATH: 35%】
【EMERGENCY: MULTIPLE HIGHEST-LEVEL EVENTS HAVE EMERGED.】
A series of upheavals in the First World was listed on the screens.
But the four largest events were displayed most prominently.
【The Silvacanis Yaoguai has appeared in the Forest of Resentment.】
【The Seal of the Twelve Yaoguai Gods has been discovered.】
【Unholda Kaiser has infiltrated Qiu Yu City.】
【The Hero is about to awaken.】
Tofu was running around the department, clutching his head while watching the events unfold continuously.
"The Yaoguais are attempting to break the seal."
"Unholda Kaiser is entering Qiu Yu City."
"The Silvacanis Yaoguai has begun the hunt."
"Everything's in chaos!!!"
Director Minh was sweating profusely.
"Quick! Call more people back here, we need to handle this as soon as possible!"
