MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 696 - : Massacre

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Massacre

Edward thought for a moment before saying, “That’s impossible. I know quite a bit about the Seven Demons of Hell, and this is not one of them.”

Li Yao shook his head and said, “It is the discarded projection of a butcher. Besides, there are more than just seven demons in hell.”

“Yes, some similarities are there, but the aura is wrong.” Edward retorted incredulously.

Li Yao explained, “The Butcher is purely a brute who never learns so-called magic. This projection is likely a result of his interaction with fragments of Laws, which split and failed to merge back, as you know these projections of so-called demons are in abundance. Unlike the God of Nightmare, who has difficulty creating even a single one.”

Edward rolled his eyes at this, saying, “Give me a break. The God of Nightmare was quite formidable too, and it is only because of you, we had calculated it so precisely.”

Edward smirked and added : “Let me think. Just how many gods have you offended till now? You are obviously going to interfere in the current events. Then there was the divide spirit of an ancient god you killed, which ended up as your pet. And then you achieved the first kill in the main dungeon narrative, and the God of nightmares definitely has a grudge against you, plus last time fighting for the touch of darkness, dear God, you’d best be careful. This game is not like other games, each NPC has its own thoughts and might come for their revenge.”

...

“You don’t have to worry about me. Elsewhere, the gods and worshippers of Heaven and Hell are battling in the Neutral Continent. Apart from the smarter god of the two sides visiting here, as for the other continents, the Moon God overlooks all beings, the guardian Giant Dragon and the benevolent order faction gods and demi-gods watch closely. The evil gods may still be hiding, they wouldn’t dare reveal themselves. If by chance one of them gets baited out by me, I might not be the one in danger. Plus, I could get a reward.”

Li Yao was not worried at all, he had plenty of ways to ensure his safety. Against an actual god, he wouldn’t be able to escape, but he could definitely retreat unscathed against projections and followers.

“What a slaughter again, had I known, I would have taken another path.” Seeing player after player being slaughtered by the projection of the Butcher, Edward reveled in schadenfreude.

“Another path, oh please. Even if you could easily reach the teleportation array, would you dare to directly enter?” Li Yao shook his head. As it is a trap, the demons are sure to have made preparations.

Edward decided not to argue and joined Li Yao in spectating the chaos.

The projection of the Butcher was entirely golden. He stormed unstoppably amongst the players, none of whom could withstand his onslaught.

Wherever his massive figure charged, lay the corpses of players.

In his right hand was a giant hook, curved like a crescent moon. As it swung around, it appeared as a dazzlingly bright half-moon scimitar, and no player could withstand its attack.

Pfft…

The hook scattered like shrapnel, re-emerging as numerous hooks attached to chains which he forcefully pulled towards the projection of the Butcher.

Many players were hooked and pulled back, instantly turned into white light. As the chains clanked, numerous player corps like carnage were left behind.

His left hand seemed to tap into the Earth Vein, causing eruptions of magma or creating fields of molten lava.

A once favourable situation had quickly turned into a massacre with the rampage of Butcher’s projection, with thousands of players falling in a short span of time.

Furthermore, due to the Butcher projection’s powerful blood-sucking ability, its HP had stayed above 90% all this while, giving the players no hope of killing the Butcher.

“Damn it, Starfire, who has the most badges, does nothing but watch. Worthless.”

“Freaking hell, draw him to his side.”

“Idiot, don’t you see the boss hardly strays from the teleportation device? How will you divert him?”

People were stumped, then enlightened. Where Li Yao is, the boss wouldn’t go over.

“Prairie Fire, you already have ten badges, isn’t it time you made a move?”

“Exactly, if you’re not making a move, at least lend us your mine car.”

Other players suddenly had an epiphany, yes, the powerful cannons would disrupt the boss’ rhythm of slaughter.

Under these circumstances, even though they knew they were headed for a slaughter, the players couldn’t resist rushing forward.

Those who were here had basically secured their base, and many had also reaped the benefits of special bases.

They were all extremely confident, hence, even though they had to witness fellow players being ruthlessly killed off, they still braved forward, believing that they could withstand the boss’ attacks.

Of course, several players did manage to hold their ground against the boss due to their abilities, which further motivated the rest of them.

Many players held aspirations, while Li Yao had a cold glint in his eyes: “Dreaming to snatch my tank, huh? Even if I don’t want it anyone, it’s not something you can simply take. You want cannons? Sure, whoever dares to charge towards me, I’ll fire at them.”

“Damn it…”

People were cursing, but Li Yao was unfazed. This crowd, getting accustomed to being in a leading position, believing themselves as the elites of big guilds, they take themselves too seriously.

In the end, the thousands of players that were killed by projections of the butcher were too terrified to continue fighting. Many players ultimately retreated to the peripheral.

The butcher projection’s AoE moves were just too powerful. A little carelessness would lead to instant death, healers had no chance to revitalise.

`This is just a road to death.’

Some players, feeling hopeless, decided to respawn and find another exit.

“Prairie Fire, you’re so great, aren’t you? Your turn.”

“Exactly, weren’t you seeking badges? If I remember correctly, you only got nine of them. If you are capable enough, get the last one yourself, what’s the point of hiding here?”

“Forget about it, whatever we say is pointless, he’s just a scammer.”

“It seems like it’s my turn now.” Li Yao dusted himself off and stood up, announcing.

Li Yao looked around, saying, “I can take the field, but I have a condition. Feeble ones shouldn’t throw themselves into the fray to be butchered by the boss and raise his HP.”

“You want us to leave the field? Impossible!”

“Indeed! You’re overthinking!”

Li Yao shook his head and clarified, “I didn’t say you couldn’t take the field. What I am saying is that weaklings shouldn’t rush to their deaths, all of you are doing nothing more than increasing the boss’s HP. I can still kill the boss, of course, it’s just a little inconvenient to wait for all of you to die.”

“Damn…”

Everyone looked at Li Yao with fiery glares, but they were speechless, knowing that aside from a few of them who could occasionally counterattack the boss, most had just become blood packs.

“A single badge doesn’t make much of a difference. Don’t forget, in the next floor you can get blueprints to construct military buildings. If you can’t get down, everything is in vain.” Li Yao casually stated: “So, you have two options now; listen to me, kill the boss, and we can quickly move to the next floor. The second option is to continue the slaughter until you all die. Then I will kill the boss and move to the next floor alone. Your call.”….
