Chapter 433 Zhao Zhiyuan and Zhou Ruoyun
The young soldier was at the forefront, carrying three gargoyles on his back, fighting and shouting, and occasionally turning back to yell something at his teammates.
"He charges in the fastest, but not recklessly," Lin Tian said. "Before each charge, he would check his teammates' positions to make sure someone could follow. He also conserved his skills during combat, instead of unleashing them all at once."
Zhang Tianya paused for a moment, carefully observed Zhao Zhiyuan's actions, and then scratched his head: "Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. I thought he was just reckless."
Li Weiwei chuckled softly from the side: "As the president, you haven't even figured out the style of your own members?"
Zhang Tianya chuckled sheepishly, "I'm usually too busy managing the big picture to handle these details... hehe."
Li Weiwei rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Lin Tian: "Brother Lin Tian, what do you think of our Blood Romance team?"
Lin Tian turned his gaze to the other side.
The members of Crimson Romance maintained their formation, but were much more agile than before.
Zhou Ruoyun, along with several mages, began to experiment with attacking while moving, no longer sticking to a fixed position.
"That mage," Lin Tian pointed at Zhou Ruoyun, "was she in charge?"
Li Weiwei nodded: "Zhou Ruoyun, our chief mage of Crimson Romance. She has an A-level talent [Frostbringer], but her skills and awareness are no worse than S-level."
Lin Tian hummed in agreement.
"She led the team well," he said. "She knew when to defend and when to move."
Li Weiwei smiled and said, "She'll definitely be happy to hear that from you."
As they were talking, the monsters in the valley had been mostly cleared out.
Zhao Zhiyuan slashed down the last gargoyle with a single sword strike, then turned and shouted, "Guild Master! We're done! Where to next?"
Just as Zhang Tianya was about to speak, Lin Tian suddenly said, "Over there."
He raised his hand and pointed to the black tower deep in the valley.
Zhang Tianya paused for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, let's fight the BOSS then!"
He shouted to Zhao Zhiyuan, "Gather together! Head towards the tower! Get ready to fight the boss!"
The alliance's team immediately began to assemble. Crimson Romance heard this too, and Zhou Ruoyun waved, leading her sisters to follow.
A large group of people marched toward the tower.
The tower is getting closer.
It was a completely black stone tower, about fifty or sixty meters high, covered with dark red vines, and several huge gargoyles hovered at the top.
At the base of the tower is a huge archway, the doorway is deep and dark, and it is impossible to see what is inside.
Standing in front of the tower, Zhang Tianya turned and shouted to the team, "Are you all ready? This boss is level 35, much stronger than the previous elite monsters, so be alert!"
Li Weiwei also spoke up: "Sisters of Blood Romance, stand in the formation we practiced before. Mages in the middle, warriors in the front, healers spread out."
Both sides acted swiftly.
The members of the War Alliance gathered in the front row, with Zhao Zhiyuan and several warriors standing at the very front, their shields raised. The mages of Crimson Romance formed a formation in the back row, with Zhou Ruoyun standing in the very center, her staff glowing faintly.
Healers are scattered throughout the team, ready to provide support at any time.
Lin Tian remained standing at a distance, not approaching.
Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei also stepped back to his side.
"Aren't we going up to help?" Li Weiwei asked.
Lin Tian shook his head.
"Let them fight it themselves."
Zhang Tianya grinned: "Alright, then it's up to them."
He rushed forward and shouted, "Zhao Zhiyuan, fight well! Boss Lin Tian is watching!"
Zhao Zhiyuan turned around and gave a thumbs up, then turned to the tower archway and took a deep breath.
"Brothers, charge!"
The warriors of the alliance were the first to rush into the archway.
The Crimson Romance mage followed closely behind, maintaining a fairly neat formation.
A moment later, a deep, angry roar came from inside the tower.
The battle has begun.
Lin Tian stood at a distance, his mental energy quietly spreading out to sense the battle situation inside the tower.
The BOSS is a giant shadow golem, its entire body made of some kind of black rock, with thick limbs and a deep red core in its chest that is slowly pulsating.
Its attack method is simple—swinging its arms to smash, stomping the ground to create an area shockwave, and occasionally shooting shadow arrows from its chest.
But simplicity does not equate to weakness.
The force of that smash was enough to kill an ordinary player in one blow.
"MT held on," Lin Tian said in a low voice.
Inside the tower, Zhao Zhiyuan faced the BOSS head-on, his shield flashing with light as he took a slamming blow.
His health dropped by a third, but it was instantly restored by the healers in the back row.
Several warriors nearby were also helping to share the damage. Every time the BOSS attacked, they would take turns using skills to block, relieving the pressure on Zhao Zhiyuan.
"The teamwork is alright," Lin Tian commented.
Zhang Tianya chuckled: "That's right. I personally picked out all the main tanks in our guild; they're all reliable."
Inside the tower, the blood-red mages began their attack.
Zhou Ruoyun, along with several mages, set up a simple formation behind the BOSS.
Ice spikes, fireballs, arcane missiles—various skills rained down on the Shadow Golem, each strike taking away a small chunk of its health bar.
The BOSS's aggro is starting to become unstable.
It turned around, wanting to rush towards the mages.
But the warriors of the alliance immediately stepped in.
Zhao Zhiyuan used a [Taunt] skill to forcefully pull the aggro back.
The warriors beside them also activated their skills at the same time, using various control, slowing, and restraining techniques to pin the BOSS to the spot.
"The hatred is well controlled," Lin Tian said.
Li Weiwei smiled and said, "The mages over there all deal damage in a controlled manner. They have a tacit understanding of who should stop attacking and who should unleash their power."
The battle inside the tower continues.
The BOSS's health bar steadily decreased.
90%......80%......70%......
Every time the BOSS unleashes a powerful attack, the front-line warriors collectively activate damage reduction abilities to withstand it.
The healers in the back row will instantly restore your health to full and then continue to deal damage.
Although the coordination is still a bit rough, and occasionally someone is a beat slow to react, the overall rhythm is already quite smooth.
60%......50%......40%......
Lin Tian looked at the steadily decreasing health bar and nodded slightly.
"Nice equipment," he said.
Zhang Tianya chuckled: "Of course! With the equipment you provided, all of us elites are now like mini-tanks. One hit from the BOSS only takes away a third of our health; we're practically invincible."
Li Weiwei laughed, "The same goes for the mages over there; their damage is at least twice as high as before."
30%......25%......20%......
The BOSS's health bar has entered the kill threshold.
Then--
A deafening roar!
