Chapter 468 The Selfless Brother Fearless
After hearing Fearless’ orders, everyone ran to their designated positions. However, the rock at the corner wasn’t very big and could at most fit three people. When Ming Du, Prideful Frost and Brother Spring stood there, there was no longer any more space.
Because they didn’t know how long Wang Yu needed to kill the BOSS, the two Mages were needed to gather the aggro of the monsters. Therefore, they couldn’t afford to die. At the crucial moment, Brother Spring could serve as a tank so he couldn’t die too. At the thought of this, Fearless naturally stood beside Frost Blade and co.
Without the shelter of the rock, the periphery of the path was still comparatively more dangerous. However, he had no other choice in this situation. Regardless of how impressive Fearless was, he couldn’t take care of ten people. In comparison, Fearless was the least important personnel here.
Seeing Fearless stepped to the side, Thunderlord Block also followed and stood right next to him.
Fearless called out in frustration, "Go and stand there! Why are you following me?"
Thunderlord Block chuckled as he replied, "Didn’t I already tell you that I will be protecting you?"
"Haha," Fearless laughed and said, "Thank you so much then!"
Thunderlord Block was tricked by Fearless countless times. Presently, he wished that Fearless would die so how could he be so kind and protective? The reason why Thunderlord Block followed Fearless was because he knew that Fearless was an extremely vicious person. He would always rather his teammates die than to die himself. Therefore, Thunderlord Block felt that staying with Fearless would ensure his own safety.
Fearless was a smart man so how could he not tell what Thunderlord Block was thinking? Since this fella was so willing to die, Fearless couldn’t be bothered to warn him. At the same time, he also looked down and despised Thunderlord Block. He thought to himself, "How can a professional expert do things based on intuition and not the brain? Even if he is strong, he will always only be an average gamer in Fearless’ eyes."
Currently, the Eagle Riding Demonic Apes had already flown last the Snowstorm and caught up with everyone else.
Spring Halo waved his staff and six demons were called out. They stood next to the Warriors and Knights in front to form a defensive line. This line was meant to protect the Mages and Pugilists at the back.
"Summoning of ghosts?"
Thunderlord Block was an extremely knowledgeable expert so he immediately recognised this unbelievable skill.
The members of the Quan Zhen Sect were really getting scarier and scarier. An extremely impressive and skilful Pugilist, a highly dangerous and accurate Mage and now, even a legendary skill was released. Thunderlord couldn’t help but feel impressed yet again.
The monsters’ aggro was fixed on Ming Du and Prideful Frost. However, Ming Du and co. had their backs against the walls and there were warriors and Spring Halo’s demons at the front line to absorb the firepower. Therefore, Ming Du and the two others were currently very safe.
However, Fearless and the Pugilists were not that safe.
The rocks kept falling from the sky waves after waves. Warriors and Knights had a greater defense so they could still hold on for a while. Pugilists and Priests could die very easily if they weren’t careful.
At this moment, Fearless didn’t want to act like a weakling anymore. While dodging the incoming rocks, he continued to heal Nine Solitary Spears and Boson’s health.
For a full thirty seconds, the two of them managed to maintain their health levels to be above 80% under Fearless’ care.
"How are things at the peak of the mountain?" Seeing that they had things under control, Fearless pulled open the chat and asked about Wang Yu’s situation.
The monsters’ rage mode wouldn’t last for much longer and these monsters were, by no means, easy to deal with. If the BOSS was not going to last long, there was no need to draw their aggro once more.
Of course, Fearless had clearly overestimated Wang Yu’s capabilities. No matter how capable the gamer was, the BOSS at the peak was not a BOSS that could be killed in thirty seconds. This was even if the BOSS was not fighting back.
"30% more! Just hold on a while more!" Wang Yu replied. The Ape King had completely given up on fighting back as the trio was basically attacking non-stop. However, the BOSS’s health bar was so incredibly long that this was the first time Wang Yu felt that his attacks were meaningless.
Fearless replied, "……"
In just this wave of rocks, the squad exhausted about 60% of the medicines. There was still a mightier BOSS behind and Wang Yu’s plead for them to hold on a while more was as though it wouldn’t exhaust any energy of resources at all.
Just as Fearless was ridiculing Wang Yu, the sky full of monsters suddenly had an exclamation mark on each of their heads. Suddenly, all of them turned their gaze towards Fearless.
"Shit! They spotted my healing treatment and have changed their target." Looking at this situation, Fearless and Thunderlord subconsciously took a few steps back.
When the healing of gamers exceeded the damage done, the monsters’ aggro would shift to the healer. Fearless’ thirty seconds of incredible treatment exceeded the damage done on Ming Du and Prideful Frost.
This shift in aggro would certainly disrupt the squad’s momentum and flow. Therefore, they must work hard to dismiss this aggro. Otherwise, they would be wiped out very quickly.
"I will go forward to block the monsters." Thunderlord saw the situation and wanted to escape immediately. Thunderlord was also an expert so he naturally understood that standing next to Fearless now would be the most dangerous spot.
Fearless held Thunderlord back and said to him, "No need! You just need to stay and protect me."
"I really want to protect you but I belong to everyone." Thunderlord shamelessly said that and ran to the frontline. Why would Fearless let him off so easily? He followed closely behind Thunderlord.
"F*ck! Old Dog Fearless, what are you doing at the frontline?" Nine Solitary Spears cried out as he noticed Fearless’ arrival.
Nine Solitary Spears and Boson were busy defending the falling rocks and didn’t realise that the aggro of the monsters has changed.
Before Fearless could reply, the rocks from the sky started falling again.
"F*ck!! They changed target?" Nine Solitary Spears called out in shock.
Earlier on, the monsters’ targets were Ming Du and Prideful Frost so the rocks were aimed at the two of them. With the piles of rocks and walls as shelter, 80% of the rocks wouldn’t be able to hit them accurately. Under the help of Nine Solitary Spears, Boson and the six demons, they could easily deal with the potentially dangerous rocks.
Now the aggro was fixed on Fearless…… And with Fearless standing out in the open, this wave of rocks would be incredibly difficult to defend against.
Just as Nine Solitary Spears closed his eyes to await his death, he suddenly saw Fearless waving his staff. A red light and white light enveloped NIne Solitary Spears and Boson respectively. Following that, Fearless and Thunderlord Block were instantly obliterated by the rocks.
This was the Invincible Halo.
Before dying, Fearless threw out his Holy Shield and Barrier to protect Nine Solitary Spears and Boson.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The falling rocks fell on Nine Solitary Spears and Boson but under the invincibility state, none of the rocks actually hit them.
At this moment, everyone understood Fearless’ intention.
The most direct way to solve the change in aggro was to let the target die…… At the crucial moment, Fearless actually sacrificed himself.
"F*ck your father and mother! You harmed me again!!"
Thunderlord Block and Fearless released their souls as they waited to respawn. This was when Thunderlord Block flew into a rage and started cursing at Fearless.
Fearless chuckled, "You are the one who said you were going to protect me. See? I’m dead just like you."
"I clearly didn’t have to die!!!" Thunderlord Block was basically sobbing without tears. "You could have just died yourself why must you drag me along?"
"How lonely will I be if I die alone? At least you can accompany me now!"
"Get out!!!"
