MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 908 - Buried in the White Bones Altar

When a player just starts out in the game, the player has no equipment and is unfamiliar to all the various aspects of the system. It can sometimes feel like the game is too overwhelming.

However, as the player’s level increases, their equipment and skills will also improve considerably. They get more familiar and acquainted with the game and become a more skilled player overall.

As long as one was not an idiot, killing a monster of the same level was not a problem.

These fifteen teams were the cream of the crop of the players from Twilight City. Whether it was equipment or skills, these players were all second to none. These monsters were no challenge for them.

At the start of the battle, everyone quickly formed the most compact formation. These White Bone soldiers were too weak individually. The magic or physical attacks only served to tickle the players.

Even in the face of overwhelming enemies after the first barrage of attacks, the Clerics are the back immediately healed the tanks back to full health.

A level 45 player has a damage output of roughly 5000. Even for a Guardian, they had around 2000 worth of damage…

Much less needed to be said about Magicians. Both Fire and Thunder Element Magicians had an added damage bonus towards the White Bone soldiers. Furthermore, the Clerics Holy Light Magic also amplified their damage by several folds.

These squadrons did not have any armour so their defense was basically zero. The highest HP of a monster was only tens of thousands. Once a player unleashed a skill, it would be akin to cutting down these soldiers like wheat.

These squadrons were level 45 and the experience points they provided was higher than what a usual level 45 monster would give. Furthermore, killing each White Bone Soldier would add one to a tally kept by the game system. The players were excited at this development.

Since the goal of the quest was not to let the squadrons out of the valley, the way to differentiate teams would be different compared to that of the first round. The players thought that this tally would be key to a.s.sess each player’s contribution to this quest.

Although the system did not say that the team with the lowest tally would be eliminated, it did not hurt to be the team with the highest tally. With this in mind, everyone was clamouring to kill more and more soldiers.

As the squadrons fell one by one, everyone was ama.s.sing large amounts of experience points and their tallies were high. However, there was a pervading feeling that something was not right.

“Hmm? Why are these squadrons not decreasing?”

w.a.n.g Yu could easily beat back the waves of enemies but he was more keen on challenging more powerful opponents. For an expert like him, he was clearly agonising at the lack of strong enemies.

After killing for quite a while, w.a.n.g Yu finally got bored. He looked up and glanced at the valley. What he saw shocked him to the core.

“Is it?” Fearless who was beside him adjusted the frame of his gla.s.ses on the bridge of his name and also gazed at the valley. He was dumbfounded.

The White Bone soldiers were completely packed and even piled up in the distance. The sea of white was an extremely terrifying sight.

“Aiya, how are these attacks getting more and more fierce?” Sanguine Warflag shouted from the frontlines.

“Have the attacks increased in intensity?”

Fearless swiftly unleashed a probing skill over and found out that the previously level 45 soldiers were now level 48. There was even an White Bone archer who had risen to level 49.

“This is not good. Everyone, stop your attacks!”

Upon this realisation, Fearless hurriedly shouted at the rest of the players.

However, at this moment in the battle, other than One Page Book, the rest were frantically killing soldiers to increase their kill tally. Who would bother with Fearless? They just pretended not to hear him.

Fearless knew that the players were intentionally ignoring him so he decided to just forcefully push the Magician in front of him with his right hand.

Although Fearless was a Cleric, his base attributes were much better than his peers of the same cla.s.s. This poor Magician was made an example of by Fearless and was swallowed up whole by the horde of White Bone soldiers.

Even Sanguine Warflag was beginning to feel the sting from the oncoming attacks, what more a measly Magician? Without even a scream, the Magician dissipated into white light.

Actions spoke louder than words. After what he had done, he had successfully got the attention of the players.

Seeing that Fearless had intentionally harmed a fellow player, the others s.h.i.+vered and they stared at Fearless and shouted, “You, you, what do you think you are doing!”

It was common knowledge that the players of Quan Zhen Sect were insane and fierce, but to think he would even betray them in such a way…

After all, w.a.n.g Yu was standing next to Fearless. Even if dozens of them were not happy with Fearless, they dared not take it out on him with w.a.n.g Yu around.

Looking at these self-centred bunch of players, Fearless exclaimed, “You ask what I’m doing? Why don’t you see for yourselves that these monsters have risen in level?”

Everyone quickly sent out probing skills and verified his claims. When they saw the attributes of the soldiers, they came to a stark realisation.

Sh*t, they felt for the system’s trap once again. This horde of enemies were simply endless. Furthermore, every wave would be stronger than the previous one.

“Isn’t this just a pothole! This quest is impossible to complete,” Sanguine Warflag screamed as he battled the few White Bone soldiers in his way.

Sanguine Warflag and the other tank cla.s.s players were not afraid to fight back. After all, they knew that killing each enemy meant that the next wave would be even stronger monsters.

Fearless said, “Look at the quest contents, our goal is not just the White Bone Legion but also the White Bone Altar.”

“White Bone Altar? Where is it?” Everyone looked around hysterically.

At the moment, w.a.n.g Yu pointed to the valley and replied, “In the deepest part!”

“What are we waiting for then? Let’s hurry destroy it!” Someone suggested.

Fearless continued, “Nonsense, who doesn’t know that going over and destroying it will be the most direct and ideal method. However, have you seen what the innermost part of the valley is like?”

“The innermost part? F*ck!”

The players once again looked towards the depths of Sunset Valley and saw the mult.i.tude of White Bone soldiers. Their faces were full of shock and trepidation as they were reminded of the immensity of the task that faced them.

Even if the players were to charge into the valley, there was nowhere for them to stand.

“How are we going to fight this way?”

Fearless touched his chin deep in thought and replied, “Since things have gotten to this point, we have to split into two teams. One team will continue blocking the advance of the soldiers and the other team will infiltrate and destroy the altar from the back.

“Ok, sounds good!” Everyone agreed in unison.

With the current situation, as long as the players in the frontline avoid killing the soldiers in front of them, the soldiers are the back will not increase in level. This will provide an opportunity for the other team to complete the quest.

“Roar!!!!”

Just as the plan was formulated and instructions were dispensed, there was a momentous sound that broke the silence. This sound came from deep inside the valley and a monster riding on a horse came rus.h.i.+ng out.
