Chapter 398: Boss 1—Guardian Eller

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Holy Light Ancestral Temple was one of those popular War of Light Main Plot Dungeon amongst the Level 40 – 120 players, and one of the major contributing reasons was the 2 Gatekeeper Paladins. After killing them, there was a small chance of producing great quality skill books, which could be sold for up to hundreds of gold coins. Hence, once the players reached Level 60, slaying the Paladins would be a piece of cake, and hence farming the skill books would become a profitable business.

Statistics had shown that the two Paladins were able to produce over thousands of skill books. Unfortunately, the downside was that they had an extremely low drop-rate. Therefore, it was considered extremely profitable if they could receive a book per day.

“My luck is pretty good.” Lin Jie announced the skill book’s attributes and laughed.

[Wind Spirit Protection]: Increases your Movement Speed by 25%, and the effect lasts for 12 seconds.

Wind Spirit Protection was a great quality escape skill that could be learned by all jobs. Think about just how unfair it would be if a Mage was able to cast all types of strong spells while avoiding attacks by activating the Wind Spirit Protection?

This skill book was worth at least 200 gold coins.

“All jobs skill books, everyone, let’s ROLL,” said Lin Jie as this was the best solution for Savage Blade. Everyone was itching to have a go at the first victory loot.

“3!”

“65!”

“34!”

“100!”

“Yay!” Qiu Yuan made a victory sign as she kept the skill book in her bag with a winning roll of 100 points while laughing at Lin Jie’s pathetic 3 points. However, she gave the book to Bu Yi as she understood how important escaping skills were for healers. Bu Yi’s life might be saved by that 25% increase in Movement Speed.

They have officially entered the Holy Light Ancestral Temple Dungeon after clearing the Gatekeeper Paladins. As they headed into the hall, the sight of countless quivering commoners welcomed them. There were hundreds of men that were hoping to enter the temple in search of a comfortable life.

These devoted commoners were at Level 40 with a health bar of 250,000 points with average attributes and were unable to cast Holy Light magic. The only troublesome part was that there were simply too many of them. If they were unlucky, several critical hits might cause the death of MTs.

“The Holy Light will punish all evil and protect its devoted subjects.” At the peak stood a Paladin clad in Gold heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand. That was the Boss 1 of the Holy Light Ancestral Temple, Guardian Eller. He waved his large hands and rays of Holy Light fell like rain, anyone that came into contact with it would have their attributes boosted, the same went for players.

“Stay away from the Holy Light. Camel and Red Dust, gather all the monsters towards our direction using the explosion arrow. Night and Baili, cut down their speed to give our MTs some buffer time to attack. Qiu Yuan, release the fog to reduce Critical Hit Damage, while Star Kill, you attack the boss and draw out its aggro. Bring it away from the smaller monsters while Ziliang uses the Mechanical Gargoyle to tank the damage.” Lin Jie gave out the orders, and the whole team powered up as they worked together in tandem.

This group of commoners with average attributes served as a headache for many guilds as Guardian Eller would randomly sprinkle Holy Light and bless the masses, which increased their attributes, as they battled. Hence, it was a common sight to see players’ battles get tougher as time passed, eventually getting consumed by the smaller monsters. Furthermore, no one dared to challenge Guardian Eller before clearing the obstacles before him. Thus, they could only use large attacks to attack the commoners.

Using a large attack on the first wave of monsters, what would they do afterward?

BOOM!

Red Dust drew her bow and shot at the commoners that swarmed up upon being attacked. The Heavenly Shield and Mixed Breathless supported with defense while Baili Changcheng and Dejected Night slowed down the commoners using frost magic.

Dejected Night was a low profile player but was a master at controlling his skills, even more so than Baili Changcheng. He cast a layer of ice that sealed off the commoners’ path, splitting them into 3 different packs that minimized the damage suffered by MTs the greatest.

-28! -25!

….

-47! -59!

Mixed Breathless had much higher defense points as compared to The Heavenly Shield, but with the help of Dejected Night, The Heavenly Shield was under much less pressure, and the damage he suffered was only 1/3 of that of Mixed Breathless.

Baili Changcheng eyed the skillful Dejected Night and soon imitated and adjusted his attacking methods.

Star Kill activated Rush, swung a knife onto the Boss’ head, and dragged him along.

With the absence of Guardian Eller’s blessings, the commoners were only Level 40 Elites with average attributes. Hence, Domestic Fat Cattle activated Blazing Fire Rain as he planned to stir up his DPS, resulting in countless meteors striking the commoners as chains of 1,000+ damage were hurled up. Fat Cattle smiled in pride however, he was utterly stunned as he turned backward.

Lin Jie was surrounded by monsters, and his Broken Blade was covered by Flame Boost, and he was hacking with the Blade Aura. When he used the Army Obliteration Quadruple attack, over hundreds of damage values begun popping up. The DPS value was twice as much as that of Fat Cattle!

The 100+ commoners were troublesome opponents for many guilds, but they were being slain just like that by Savage Blade. Lin Jie turned his attention to the other commoner monsters as there still remained several batches of monsters in the corners ranging from Level 50-70. Savage Blade followed the same plan and slew them all.

After three hours, all the monsters had been cleared. Star Kill activated Forced Invisibility breathlessly as he revoked the aggro and escaped back to base.

“OMG, that was so tiring.” Star Kill patted his chest as he wheezed heavily and said, “I felt like I was being chased by a gaylord that was about to confess.”

Lin Jie glanced at him in surprise. “You have been chased by a gaylord?”

“Cough, cough—” Star Kill cleared his throat dryly and called out, “Did any good items explode out? Have you guys searched the corpses?”

“Right, right, right, we should corpse-search quickly, it will be such a waste if all these corpses get respawned.”

Everyone swarmed up upon hearing that, but they still spent over 10 minutes searching through the corpses, due to the large number of bodies. With so many monsters, no matter how unlucky one may be, they would still be able to get a number of items. The potions, miscellaneous items, and coins formed a huge pile. Besides those, there were still over 20 sets of Bronze equipment. However, the most valuable item was the [Holy Light Mark].

[Holy Light Mark], just like the light-point-items exploded from many Bosses, were welfare for those unlucky players. If one’s luck had reached a certain low, and could not get any good equipment, they could accumulate the Holy Light Mark and exchange for Gold equipment, and Gold Armor Sets with the Quartermaster.

Those small monsters produced a total of 100 Holy Light Mark, which was sufficient to redeem Gold equipment.

After clearing the small monsters, it was time to face the scary Boss with the title, Night Mare. He was the Holy Light Ancestral Temple’s Boss 1, Guardian Eller!

[Guardian Eller]

Level: 50

Health Points: 900,000

Attack: 1,029-1,283

Defense: 1,600

Additional effect: Protection of the Fallen Holy Light, there is a chance that Guardian Eller will revive when he is killed.

The Protection Paladin that held the shield was the Boss that had been a pain in the ass for countless teams. As a Protection Paladin, or better known as a Defense Paladin, he possessed countless defensive tactics that were admired by other Defense Paladins. Such tactics included: Complete Block, Parry, Attack Deflection, Thorns Aura, Vitality Regeneration, and so on. Coupled with a Defense of 1,600 points, he was invincible.

However, one should not underestimate Guardian Eller’s attacking power. A Level 50 Boss had 20% of attributes suppression over normal players, and they were considered terrifying entities with attack power up to 1,500+. Players that were not as well equipped would probably end up half-dead.

“Guardian Eller only has two stages. During stage 1, Guardian Eller’s main abilities are Vitality Regeneration and Retribution Halo. But it is important to note that the Vitality Regeneration skill cannot be interrupted. Fortunately, silence attacks can still hurt the Boss,” murmured Lin Jie.

Guardian Eller was a classic ‘Competency Check Boss’. In other words, if a team could not even defeat him, they should give up on entering the temple.

During Stage 1, Guardian Eller only had 2 moves.

Number 1, would be the Retribution Halo. Just like the Retribution Halos of all Paladins, it was able to inflict damage on all attacking units and deflect 250 points of attack. If everyone in the team were to attack at once, it would be a challenge for the healer.

Number 2, would be Vitality Regeneration. Paladins in The New Age were also known as ‘New Age Tumour’ for their perverse vitality regeneration and depletion ability. Guardian Eller had a total of 7 vitality regeneration skills, including the renowned [Lay on Hands], as well as two other Healing Spells that were able to regain half a health bar once cast.

The first stage relied fully on DPS! Blast out damage without any qualms! Once the Boss’ health bar dropped below 500,000 points or its mana bar was fully depleted, the first stage would be considered passed.

“Charge!” Lin Jie waved his hands, and everyone bolted up steadily as their attacks poured down like torrents onto the Boss. Guardian Eller growled, and his a mellow yellow hue covered the tip of his shield.

“Perfect Defense!”

“Holy Protection!”

“Hand of Recovery!”

Everyone’s attacks fell like raindrops onto Guardian Eller as they all got perfectly blocked. Other than the mages’ hundred over damage points, everyone else, including Lin Jie, had only inflicted damages less than 3 digits! Furthermore, every perfect block by the Boss allowed it to regain 100 health points.

Ten minutes later, Guardian Eller’s life points were only depleted by 5%, and everyone else’s health bar was almost fully drained despite the efforts of the healer. Besides, Guardian Eller was very intelligent, so he would not activate his vitality regeneration skill if the depletion was within 10%. Thus, his mana bar was still full.

If this continued, they would lose eventually!

“Everyone, listen to my command, you have 10 seconds to channel your ultimate attack. Let’s trash the Boss into the second stage in one go,” said Lin Jie relentlessly.

Everyone was stunned as it had taken them 10 minutes to just deplete 5% of Guardian Eller’s health. Now, Lin Jie wanted them to drain 50% in one shot to enter the second stage? That would be insanely difficult!
