MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Heaven’s Fury, People’s Resentment
The players working together with the expertise and defense of twenty or so masters still managed to maintain a steady fight. Although there were constant casualties, the Faceless outnumbered them significantly but were newborns and lacked intelligence, resulting in low combat effectiveness and far less order in battle than the players.

Nonetheless, an army of nearly two thousand Faceless inflicted casualties on almost five hundred players. Even a few unfortunate masters met an unexpected demise, succumbing to the spells cast by the Faceless without any idea of how it happened.

However, their achievements were not too shabby. They made it onto the world announcement thrice.

It wasn’t that they had only killed three bosses. It was that bosses of the same level and name could only make it onto the announcement once.

Seeing thousands of people together on the world announcement was quite spectacular, which comforted many of those who had fallen.

After all, bosses were incredibly hard to kill. If it weren’t for the masters keeping the boss of the Faceless occupied, they believed it would practically be impossible to kill it. Even though these bosses were just hatched, intelligence-lacking Faceless.

Due to the masters’ involvement, they scored fewer pieces of equipment, but compared to the honor they’d gained, many found it a fair trade.

After all, getting on the world announcement didn’t come easy, and the chance was becoming even more scarce.

Of course, they overlooked the fact that with thousands of names on the announcement, other players wouldn’t bother to check every single one, nor would they remember.

Many of them excitedly captured screenshots, ready to brag later. “See that? We actually managed to kill a boss with thousands of people.

That was thousands of people. The boss’s health was terrifyingly high, but we still managed to kill it.”

“Yay, I made the announcement too, three times.” Little Cold Hands said excitedly.

“A thousand people together, it’s useless, and the reputation gained is so minimal.” Ephemeral Bloom glanced at Li Yao and remarked, “Didn’t you notice there are people entirely indifferent to the announcement? Even though they received many.”

“How could I compare with you, masters.” Little Cold Hands exclaimed excitedly. “Master, can you teach me how to fight bosses?”

“Well, I am a Hunter, you can look up my videos on the forum. I am an honest person and didn’t hide any tips in those videos. By learning how to break position and the three basic moves of a Hunter, you will be able to easily handle bosses at an intermediate level or below.” Li Yao replied.

“The master has shared his videos. You’re such a nice person,” Little Cold Hands said, her face full of surprise. “Everybody else is hiding their skills for fear of others copying them. Master, you’re great. I should learn from you when I become stronger.”

“Does this kid ever go through the forum?” Ephemeral Bloom uttered, speechless.

“I’m really dense, I’ve been busy perfecting my shooting skill, or leveling up, I didn’t have time,” Little Cold Hands admitted, embarrassed.

This time it was Li Yao who was rendered speechless. “If you’re dense, then there are no intelligent people left. You’re extraordinary to have mastered shooting to such an extent in such a short time.”

“Okay, hurry up and rest. The Fragment of the Ancient God is about to come out,” Li Yao warned, seeing the black gas converging in the center of the hall and said gravely.

Little Cold Hands asked in confusion, “Master, didn’t you say you would take care of this boss alone?”

Li Yao shrugged, “I do intend to handle it by myself, but I can’t control the Ancient God. You are trapped here too, and I can’t stop them from attacking you.”

Cough…

This time even the most innocent Little Cold Hands was left speechless in surprise.

“Master, you’re too cunning. So you were just slacking off, leaving us to deal with the final boss at the end.”

Li Yao shrugged, then quickly moved forward saying, “Let’s have a clean fight. I’ll handle the toughest boss. You all shouldn’t interfere.”

The crowd parted to make way for him. No one dared to step up and help him against the Final Boss. Just handling the Faceless boss had been terrifying enough, let alone this one.

Everyone retreated to the edges of the hall, took a seat, and prepared to watch the show.

On the other hand, the trio from Light Flower were on full alert, not daring to let their guards down. However, they silently mourned for the masters and players, yet again tricked without realizing what was going on.

Fragment of Ancient God

Rank: Level 20, Senior Boss

Life: 500,000

Armor: Divine Armor

Skills: Mental Control, Shadow Transformation, Mental Ray, Shadow Bind, Faceless Transformation, Shadow Jet

Li Yao frowned slightly. Just seeing the Divine Armor gave him a headache. It was troublesome, although he knew it would be there well in advance.

The so-called Divine Armor could only be broken by Divine Power. Without Divine Power, one could only inflict damage of ten points or less.

Many people didn’t understand the qualities of the Fragment of the Ancient God and thought its attributes were nothing exceptional. Certainly, without the Divine Armor, this Fragment of Ancient God, which had been continually expending Divine Power to create Faceless, was genuinely weak.

“Damn insects, you will never understand what it means to transcend. Only when you have truly tasted the power of a god will you kneel and worship. Since you have killed my servant, I will kill you all to use you as resources to create new ones.”

The Ancient God was enormous, resembling a giant octopus, albeit confined to a platform and unable to move.

He lifted four of his tentacles.

Mental Ray!

Li Yao was the target of one beam, and the other three scourged through the crowd.

Thanks to his abilities, such as Teleportation and becoming incorporeal, his wings, Magic Spider Silk, and his natural agility, Li Yao’s flexibility was very high. It made it easy for him to avoid the ray, which, while fast, was also easy to anticipate. He breezily dodged the ray while deploying three turrets.

While continuously nimbly dodging in the air, he also kept shooting. His gun could load two bullets at once, saving Li Yao one reloading time and increasing his agility indirectly.

Unfortunately, the damage inflicted was pitiful, only 10 points. Even now, bringing the Golden Puppet into the fight would be pointless. Although its HP was high, the Golden Puppet was only capable of inflicting 10 points of damage at most, and it would also sacrifice Li Yao’s flexibility.

However, those players and masters who were prepared to enjoy the spectacle were in a dreadful situation. They were initially delighting in the anticipation of Li Yao’s humiliation, waiting for his defeat before planning their next move when the Ancient God started a ranged attack.

Instantly, more than a dozen players were killed, and two unfortunate masters were badly wounded.

This shift of events caused them to forget about mocking Li Yao’s pitiful damage output, and they quickly began to prepare for battle.

“Damn it, didn’t you say that you were going to fight the Ancient God by yourself?”

Li Yao calmly replied, “Yes, I did say I was going to fight the Ancient God by myself. However, I can’t control the Ancient God. If it attacks you, it has nothing to do with me. You guys can continue watching.”

“Damn your ancestors! Watch the show? Watch your sister!”

“It’s done on purpose, definitely on purpose.”

“Damn, we’ve been tricked by that bastard again.”

“So infuriating.”

“Don’t be angry. Let’s prepare to kill the Ancient God together. The HP hasn’t increased despite our participation. It should be easy to kill.”

Under the direction of the masters, the reluctant players prepared to attack the Ancient God once more…
