Godlike Skill

However, using this bug requires a very high level of skill for a Fire Mage; speed, angle, and timing must all be precise.

Lu Yang hadn't used this bug in a long time. Taking advantage of the Heavy Armor Warriors' patrol pattern, Lu Yang walked to the water trough ahead and examined it. After finding a suitable position, he returned to the group.

"So, any ideas?" Fierce Wine Clear Wind asked, instinctively feeling that Lu Yang had found a solution.

Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others also looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said, "I've found a way. Everyone, get ready."

The team members formed a battle formation. Xia Yuwei asked, "How do we fight?"

Lu Yang didn't answer, watching as the two columns of Heavy Armor Warriors approached the position he had marked. He turned to Xia Yuwei, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "The strategy is simple."

A flash of white light, and Lu Yang disappeared from Xia Yuwei's sight. The next moment, to everyone's shock, Lu Yang appeared between the two columns of Heavy Armor Warriors.

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

"Enemy attack! Kill the intruder!" The Heavy Armor Warriors immediately noticed Lu Yang. The two columns turned simultaneously, and eight pure steel spears thrust towards Lu Yang's body.

Level 5 elite monsters had one-third the attack power of a boss. Lu Yang's defense was less than 15 points, and his Blood Essence was less than 300. If he were hit by eight spears at the same time, he would certainly die.

Just as Xia Yuwei and the others thought Lu Yang was about to be impaled, in a flash of lightning, Lu Yang lowered his body and muttered an incantation. A violent, fiery red halo erupted from Lu Yang's body, surging outwards.

"Flame Shield!"

With a "Bang!" the Heavy Armor Warriors on both sides who were hit by the red halo were sent flying. The ones on the right were knocked back into the underground river, while the ones on the left were blasted into the water trough, unable to escape no matter how hard they struggled.

Fierce Wine Clear Wind and Xia Yuwei's eyes lit up.

"You can do that?!"

"Beautiful! A stroke of genius!"

Lu Yang said, "Clear Wind and Black Armor, get ready. After the four Heavy Armor Warriors come ashore, each of you tank two."

"Got it." Fierce Wine Clear Wind charged at one of the Heavy Armor Warriors just about to climb ashore, wielding his large shield. Then, he turned and used Taunt on the second Heavy Armor Warrior to come ashore.

Xiao Liang did the same, tanking the other two monsters.

Lu Yang said, "Give Fierce Wine Clear Wind five seconds to apply armor break. Everyone, focus on attacking the monsters that Fierce Wine Clear Wind is holding."

He marked a triangle symbol on the monsters' heads, a feature in the game that allowed team members to clearly understand the commander's instructions.

With twelve people attacking together, the four Heavy Armor Warriors were killed in less than three minutes. On the other side, the remaining four Heavy Armor Warriors were still stuck in the water trough, unable to get out.

"Great! This is so much easier now," Zhang Zibo said.

"Do we not need to tank the remaining four monsters?" Fierce Wine Clear Wind asked with a smile.

Lu Yang said, "Of course not. Why would we tank them if they can't get out? Melee, step back. Mages, slowly deal damage, don't rush."

"Understood," Half-Life Morningstar and the other four Mages said together. Originally, their mana was already low. If they had to tank and deal damage to eight elite monsters, their mana wouldn't be enough. Now, even if they ran out of mana, they could slowly wait for it to recover and then attack again.

"Expert, you're really amazing. To think of such a method," Fierce Wine Clear Wind said admiringly from the side.

Xia Yuwei also said, "Indeed, amazing. There probably aren't many people in the entire game with your skill."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's only Lu Yang. At least, in our Purple-Gold Dynasty and Xiong Ba's Supreme Dynasty, with over ten thousand people combined, no one has such ability."

Lan Yu and Xia Yuwei looked at Fierce Wine Clear Wind in surprise. They hadn't expected Fierce Wine Clear Wind to praise Lu Yang so highly.

"I'm not exaggerating, it's true. You may have just started with free mode, but our boss knew about free mode before the server even opened. After entering the game, those of us selected by the boss have been practicing free mode tactics. I was able to tank the boss before thanks to free mode, but even so, that stroke of genius from Lu Yang just now, neither we nor the Mages from Xiong Ba's guild could do it," Fierce Wine Clear Wind said.

In reality, Fierce Wine Clear Wind didn't say everything. What he really wanted to express was the timing of Lu Yang's Blink and the angle he chose to release Flame Shield.

Lu Yang squatted down and released Flame Shield with his body tilted. Only by doing this could he knock the Heavy Armor Warriors into the water trough. And choosing this angle was extremely difficult. If it was too large, the monsters might be knocked against the wall and bounce back. If it was too small, the monsters wouldn't enter the water trough.

Lan Yu looked at Lu Yang in surprise and said, "Expert, so you're so amazing."

Lu Yang said, "It's not as amazing as Clear Wind says. It's just a small trick. You're overpraising me."

Fierce Wine Clear Wind smiled and didn't say anything more. He had already decided to send the entire video to Old Twilight when the dungeon ended, so that all the Mages in the guild could practice this move.

Soon, the four Heavy Armor Warriors stuck in the water trough were also killed, and the group continued forward.

After walking a bit further, Fierce Wine Clear Wind, who was leading the way, said, "Eight more Heavy Armor Warriors ahead. We'll have to trouble Brother Lu Yang again."

Just as Lu Yang was about to agree, a raspy voice came from behind.

"Hold on."

Lu Yang and Fierce Wine Clear Wind turned around and saw that the speaker was Zheng Yuan.

"Is there a problem?" Fierce Wine Clear Wind asked, frowning.

Xia Yuwei asked, suppressing her temper, "What do you want now?"

Zheng Yuan saw that everyone was watching him, and he felt very pleased. He walked up to Lu Yang and said, "I just heard you guys talking about how difficult that move of yours is. I want to try it."

Xia Yuwei immediately frowned and said, "Zheng Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Lan Yu also said, "Zheng Yuan, let Expert Brother do it. It's too dangerous."

"It's just a Blink and Flame Shield, right? What's so difficult about that? I have both of those skills too," Zheng Yuan said unhappily.

He noticed a problem: not only Lan Yu, but Xia Yuwei was also getting closer and closer to Lu Yang. He now looked at Lu Yang as if he were his enemy, wishing he could trample him underfoot in every way.

"If you have no objections, I'll go. Please move aside," Zheng Yuan said, glaring at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Alright, go ahead then, but I told you, you can't do it. Don't blame me if you die."

"You make it sound so difficult," Zheng Yuan said with an arrogant glance at Lu Yang, before walking towards the 8 Heavy Armor Warriors.

Lu Yang shook his head and said to everyone in the group, "Everyone, step back a little."

"Why?" Xia Yuwei asked.

"If we step back any further, the warriors won't be able to take over the aggro in time, right?" Zhang Zibo asked.

Xia Yuwei, Zhang Zibo, and the others hadn't tried the free-range mode yet and didn't understand what Fierce Wine Clear Wind had praised Lu Yang for earlier. They thought Zheng Yuan could succeed as well.

Lu Yang said, "Trust me, he can't do it."
