Chapter 213: Back Facing Light While Charging Towards Darkness

When the players got online, it was already afternoon on the fourth day of the Darkness invasion.

The dark creatures attacked as before, and the relentless war continued on.

200,000 to 300,000 dark creatures would charge at the City of Dawn.

More than 200,000 dark creatures had perished.

But the casualties of the professionals in the city had also reached 6,300. The seriously wounded and maimed ones numbered 3,000.

It meant that three legions had lost their combat power.

Besides the casualties afflicting the regular army, the other races and occupations were also affected. The high casualty rates shook the players to the core.

When Chu Liuqiu got online, he organized the players to defend the city.

Four days had passed, and more than 30,000 players had successfully changed their occupations.

After upgrading their equipment sets to Intermediate, their combat power had been greatly boosted. The players had formed a lethal legion that was fearless and possessed unlimited energy.

Until now, the players had continued to grow. They had reached a stage where they could contribute to the war. This allowed the regular army some time to rest.

Meanwhile, many players posted on the official website and the forum.

The female players were shedding tears. The Darkness invasion covered a wide area in these four days, and according to the official statistics, eight Dukedoms had been overrun. Hundreds of cities were now occupied by the dark creatures.

The NPC casualties on the nine continents numbered more than 7 million, and they were close to 10 million.

The cities of the players had been occupied, so they had to escape to the Grand Duchies to hide from the dark creatures…

The forum of the foreign players was filled by cries of despair and virulent curses.

The players cursed the game producers, officials, and the powerful NPCs for their misdeeds.

They lamented that the adorable NPCs that they had loved and hated perished.

They posted pictures and videos of destruction.

After the dark creatures destroyed the Humans in the Dukedoms, they did not dare to intrude into the Grand Duchies. Instead, they searched for remnants of life.

Whether the life consisted of humans, wild beasts, or magical beasts, the dark creatures would pounce on them alike and tear them apart.

The wild beasts would wail in pain for a few seconds before dying.

The carcasses of the wild beasts would be feasted on by the dark creatures.

Within a few minutes, what would be left were bones with numerous teeth marks.

The dark creatures were insatiable. They would continue their search for any survivors…

All the beginner’s villages had been completely destroyed.

But the beginner’s village of the Chinese players had repulsed the dark creatures, and it had sustained minimal casualties.

After all…

The tens of thousands of casualties in the City of Dawn and Black Lava Dukedom were considered child’s play in the eyes of the foreign players.

At this point in time, the players understood that the Darkness invasion in version 2.0 would propagate to future game versions.

Fighting against the dark creatures would be the main theme.

In other words, it could be said as the war between the Light and Dark factions.

This war would rage on regardless of version, time, and location!

A restless American player created a post that listed the ranking of the various beginner’s villages. “The true capability of the Dukedoms can only be seen during the Darkness invasion.

“Because those without combat power will be destroyed. For example, the archipelago continent. (It is my honest opinion. Please do not condemn me.)

“With the start of version 2.0, many professionals attained the Advanced. They were no longer the inferior fighters.

“The City of Dawn has the most number of Advanced warriors, about five to eight of them. This number is two times higher than other Dukedoms.

“Hence, the City of Dawn is, without a doubt, the top contender.

“The City of Dawn has many Advanced professionals and a powerful army.

“I watched the live broadcast before. The City of Dawn has less than 30,000 regular soldiers, but half of them are Intermediate professionals with silver or Gold-quality equipment sets.

“What does this mean?

“These soldiers are on par with the royal guards of other Dukedoms, and they can fight against two opponents at the same time. The soldiers can also be considered BOSS level. It is incredible.

“I am sure many players have encountered the power of a pureblood Elf.

“The City of Dawn has two pureblood Elven legions that have a combat power many times that of a Human legion!

“Consider this. A full legion with BOSS level professionals. How strong is that?

“The 30,000 soldiers of the City of Dawn are much more powerful than the 100,000 soldiers in other Dukedoms.

“The second in the list is the Dome Palace in America. It was built on a domed mountain that was 1,300 meters tall. It has 100,000 regular soldiers and 200,000 players.

“Its true capability is beyond measure.

“Every day, I observed how the dark creatures charged up the mountain and were driven back. I felt a sense of relief.

“I think that the first two contenders have the best chance to repel the Darkness invasion. Both of them have geographical superiority.

“The third on the list was the opponent of the City of Dawn, the Black Lava Dukedom that conquered Iron Dukedom. It has a lot of talents and war resources.

“Within half a year, it had built a defense line consisting of five military fortresses on its southern border.

“Yesterday, one of the fortresses was overrun, and now, only four remain.

“But these remaining four are more powerful now. The legions of the Black Lava Dukedom are smart. When they realized that one of the fortresses was going to be overrun, they abandoned it and redistributed their soldiers among the remaining four fortresses. This made defending the four fortresses much easier.”

The ranking of the Dukedoms by this player invited condemnation of the players from the archipelago continent.

Many players felt that the rankings were biased.

They felt that the City of Dawn, which had a neutral Lord who had less than 30,000 soldiers, could not be first in the list. It was a biased ranking!

The bickering among the players of different factions erupted.

When a foreign player browsed a different forum, he was not able to communicate in a common language. Hence, he would spam the forum…

You are reading story I Am A Legendary BOSS at novel35.com

Angry Fatty noticed that his popularity was increasing, and he became puzzled. Why were foreign languages appearing on his comments page?

It was a good thing to have great popularity. Fatty felt it was sufficient if he captured appealing shots of Prince William.

“Take note, everyone. Prince William is making his moves.”

“Oh my God. Take a look. That is Prince William’s area-effect lightning bolts. Tens of lightning bolts descend from the sky and electrocute the dark creatures within a radius of 100 meters.”

Suddenly, holy light flashed across the screen.

Fatty adjusted his camera. He sighed helplessly and said, “It’s the Angel’s Judgement. It’s a pity I’m unable to capture the shot. If you wish to take a look, check my previous broadcasts. The Angel’s Judgement is super slick. The players belonging to the Seraphkin are in luck.

If the players learn the Angel’s Judgement, they can kill numerous BOSSES of the dark creatures.”

There was an endless barrage of comments.

“We, the Temple Knights, are indignant. After we are endowed with Light attributes, we can defeat 10,000 dark creatures with our battle energy. We are the main force to deal with the Darkness invasion.”

“Yes, we clerics are indignant too.”

“I’m a warrior of the Thunder element. Just take a look at Prince William’s capability. I don’t believe I won’t be endowed by the same

power.”

“Hehe, I’m also indignant. I’m a warlock with an Epic longsword.”

The warlock occupation was very strange.

When a warlock attained the Intermediate, he could only be endowed with Light or Dark attributes.

The warlock was unlike a mage. After attaining the Intermediate and focusing on one element, they could be an all-rounder in magic and have exotic magic skills.

There was a condition to become stronger! Reading books.

The Gods’ continent had numerous magical books. The more books that a warlock read, the more powerful magic skills and branched skills he would have. Even the branched skills would be as powerful as the Light or Dark element.

The magical books were painstakingly written by NPCs, so they were well kept and hard to find.

It was not possible to borrow books from the NPCs.

But with enough money. It would not be a problem.

The occupation that required a lot of money was not the ranger, warrior, assassin, or mage. It was the warlock!

The mages would have to call the warlocks masters.

The mages could only focus on one elemental magic.

While the warlocks were super mages who were versed in all elements. The warlock did not have to waste their experience points in a sub-occupation. Instead, they only needed to invest some experience points in their skills.

A warlock who had read many books could easily defeat a mage at the same level.

However, a warlock was a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none!

The warlock was not a master in a particular element, and he was poor in close-combat. The warlock could only use exotic magic skills to disrupt his enemies.

Some rich warlock players had started to deviate from their occupation after attaining the Intermediate.

They bought Intermediate magical books.

They bought a hundred magical books at a time.

They disregarded the warlock robe and hat because they preferred to have a warrior sub-occupation.

They preferred to have armor.

They would wield an Epic longsword with the left hand and use the Epic magic wand with the right hand.

Then they would fight in a frenzy.

Ahem!

This kind of warlock players were godly rich players. It was not worth antagonizing them.

Otherwise, they could wield the magic wands and longswords and defeat their opponents using a combination of magic and close-combat skills.

Time passed, and it was the seventh day of the Darkness invasion. The time was two in the afternoon.

This time, the battle formations of the dark creatures were very different.

In other words, previously, the dark creatures were disorderly soldiers.

But at this time, a humanoid devil had organized the 500,000 dark creatures into battle formations!

The players recognized the devil.

It was Goethe Nasis, the founder of the Freedom Alliance of the Iron Dukedom and the mastermind of all conspiracies.

Even though half of his face had rotten, and he had become a devilish monster, the players immediately recognized him.

William looked at him with exhaustion…

Goethe Nasis gazed at everyone before glaring at Augustine. He flew to the sky and shouted,

“Lord William, today is…”

Boom!

The heavy city gates at the base of the cliff abruptly opened!

But what Goethe saw were not the troublesome heavy cavalry or the Trolls!

This time, they were a group of… Humongous creatures that were tens of meters tall!

They were… Hundreds of silver-backed monkeys who wielded super-sized Gold-quality maces…

At that instance, everyone gulped.

At that instance, Goethe Nasis’s heart sank.

At that instance, a white light penetrated the dark clouds.

Meanwhile, three rays of white light shot to the sky in the south and the east!

William looked very grave as he advanced. His body was covered with lightning bolts when he flew up the sky.

He did not perform any superfluous movements.

In front of everybody, William pointed his blade at the dark army in the south.

At that moment, the war drums of the City of Dawn were heard for the first time.

At that moment, the hundreds of running silver-backed monkeys looked as though they were in a riot.

At that moment, the 200,000 soldiers marched out. They were professionals from the City of Dawn!

Everyone marched bravely towards the Darkness while Light was shining behind. The blades in their hands, they were the presents for welcoming the dark creatures.
