"Swish, swish, swish..."
Another flurry of fierce attacks ensued. Facing the level 55 Silver Boss, Yi Tianchen found it neither easy nor overly difficult. In their back-and-forth struggle, he maintained a significant advantage, even managing to overpower the Boss at times.
Blade Break Slash Lv-2! Hell Combo Lv-2! Normal Attack! Earthshatter Slash!
Yi Tianchen's greatest shortcoming was the limited number of attack skills. After each round of attacks, he had to intersperse several Normal Attacks to connect his moves.
"Roar..."
The Silver Boss howled at Eternal, its blood-red eyes glaring as it lunged forward with its longsword, launching a final ferocious assault. The sword shadows danced around, forming a circle of sword energy. However, under Yi Tianchen's control of Ethereal Shadow Step, it had little effect.
After this barrage, the Silver Boss had also exhausted itself significantly, leading to a misstep in its subsequent attacks. Seizing the opportunity, Yi Tianchen initiated with Death Entanglement, followed by Blade Break Slash, then unleashed a Hell Combo, and finished with a powerful Earthshatter Slash.
-12520! -6880! -8935! Critical Hit! -78550!
After dealing a series of damage outputs, another Phantom flickered as Yi Tianchen executed Savage Charge. Creating distance, he quickly consumed a level seven health potion and launched into the second wave of attacks, pressing the Silver Boss hard and leaving it disoriented.
In less than ten minutes, the Silver Boss fell...
Along with abundant experience points, there were two pieces of equipment and a small pile of gold coins. However, Yi Tianchen had no time to collect them. He rushed back to the courtyard and saw that Guardian Jada's Vitality had dropped below 30%. Without hesitation, he joined in to launch an assault.
-10580! -11030! -9952! -5350! -4180!...
With the threat drawn by One Hand Rides the Sky and the concentrated firepower from Yi Tianchen, The Terminator of Regrets, and Not a Master, the once formidable Guardian Jada could only stagger closer to death's edge. Amidst its anguished cries, it ultimately collapsed to the ground.
Golden Light Falls, all four leveled up!
"Don't delay, focus all fire on the Territory Sculpture!" After taking down Guardian Jada, they could confidently say that 80% of the mission was complete. Although the remaining Territory Sculpture had high health and defense, it was ultimately just an inanimate object, posing no threat to them.
"Kill!"
Not a Master shouted as Steel Blade raised his weapon above his head and struck down fiercely. Sparks flew as he managed to carve a one-inch wide gash into the Territory Sculpture, but the damage dealt was minimal; after all, the Territory Sculpture had a defense of 5000, which was no joke.
Without further delay, Yi Tianchen and the others charged in one after another, unleashing their full power. They seamlessly combined various skills with Normal Attack, attacking without any interruptions. In an instant, damage numbers of varying sizes connected like a line shooting up into the night sky.
Half an hour later, with twenty-three minutes left until the mission deadline...
Footsteps echoed outside the courtyard as Liu Yuhan and her group entered. After one of their leaders arrogantly opened the city gate for battle, Liu Yuhan's five members engaged in a fierce fight, each dying twice, barely managing to struggle back from the brink of death.
At the same time, Li Tielong and his group burst out from within, executing a pincer attack that finally wiped out the remaining small monsters. As for the three level 55 Silver BOSS enemies left, they posed little challenge against the combined efforts of eight players, resulting in all of Liu Yuhan's group leveling up.
"Haha... not a single soldier lost, let's go!" Li Tielong shouted.
The group surged forward, launching their final assault on the Territory Sculpture. Different Skill Radiance erupted continuously, resembling fireworks at year’s end. Accompanying this dazzling display was the rapid depletion of the Territory Sculpture's Vitality, akin to a dam breaking.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound erupted as the Territory Sculpture finally collapsed with a noise reminiscent of an explosion after enduring a barrage from Yi Tianchen's twelve members. It shattered into countless fragments scattered across the ground.
At that moment, a notification sound rang out—
System Notification: Congratulations to your Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group for successfully completing the Guild promotion mission and obtaining the qualification for Guild advancement. Please proceed to Mercenary Captain Sadan to claim your rewards and level up!
……
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…”
Cheers erupted around, echoing in the night sky. After a fierce battle, they finally created this moment worth celebrating!
A few minutes later, the battlefield was cleared, with a pile of both good and bad equipment. The total amount of gold coins reached 15,200, with an average level increase of 1.6 for each member. Yi Tianchen stood out at level 51, maintaining a full level advantage over Supreme Treasure, who ranked second.
Among the various pieces of equipment, Guardian Jada’s Dragon Claw surprisingly dropped as well. However, it turned out to be quite impractical. After Yi Tianchen appraised it, although it was classified as Dark Gold Equipment, it didn’t excite anyone much; even some Silver Equipment from minor bosses seemed more useful.
Yet Yi Tianchen appeared to have discovered something remarkable…
“I’ll take this equipment; does anyone have any objections?” He picked up the Dragon Claw, and a bold yet feasible idea formed in his mind.
“No objections at all! Really, none!”
The response from everyone was unanimous and genuine. The Dragon Claw was indeed not very useful, and each class had restrictions on their skills based on their weapons. For instance, an archer could not use any skills if equipped with a dagger.
“Well then, I won’t hold back.”
Yi Tianchen tossed the Dragon Claw into his bag and added, “The mission is complete, and the battlefield has been cleared. Now it’s time to head back and collect our rewards.”
“Absolutely!”
Liu Yuhan was the Captain, and naturally, the authority to deliver the mission rested with her. As she spoke, Liu Yuhan had already opened the mission panel and selected "Complete Mission." In an instant, beams of white light surged up, and when everyone regained their vision, they found themselves standing before Mercenary Captain Sadan.
"Well! It seems you have completed the mission assigned by this Captain!" Mercenary Captain Sadan said with a serious and earnest expression.
"Ding!"
System Notification: The Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group has successfully completed the Guild promotion mission and has automatically advanced to Guild level 1. The current member limit has been increased, unlocking level 1 Guild missions, opening the level 1 Guild warehouse, and activating level 1 combat benefits!
...
In the Zero Era, Guilds were divided into levels 1 to 10. A level 1 Guild had a member limit of 2000 people, could accept an unlimited number of level 1 Guild missions, and had a warehouse with a total of 1000 slots. Additionally, four elder positions were opened in the Guild—White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon.
Another aspect was the combat benefits of Guild Wars.
The so-called combat benefits meant that all members who joined the Guild would receive permanent boosts to their attack power, defense power, Vitality, and movement Speed. A level 1 Guild would enhance each attribute by 1%, and so on; a level 10 Guild could enhance each attribute by 10%.
At the same time, the first free System advertisement for the upgraded Guild echoed...
