Chapter 100

Dozens of elite-level demons, and Misan actually managed to hold them off. This was the difference between a pure tank class and Mufeng, who was a pseudo-tank. Although Mufeng's health was not inferior to many high-end tanks, his armor and damage reduction were significantly lower.

When a player chooses a defensive talent, the system not only grants them three to four defense-related skills but also provides different levels of armor enhancement, percentage damage reduction, and health enhancement based on their class. For example, Misan's Death Knight. Since Death Knights cannot use shields, their enhancements are particularly significant. After choosing the talent, he gained 15% damage reduction and 50% armor enhancement, as well as a 30% stamina boost. This way, players who chose the defensive talent instantly improved their ability to tank monsters.

With Misan holding the line in front, Yeluo Chengdie didn't need to dodge and could fully unleash her blade fan skills. Having leveled up to 31, she had also upgraded her blade fan to level 2, increasing her damage by 25%, which was quite noticeable. Equipped with a stacking continuous damage poison, the large numbers of damage she dealt made her crowd control ability almost as strong as Mufeng. After all, while Mufeng's skills dealt high damage, they couldn't match Yeluo Chengdie's ability to attack almost once per second with her blade fan, which also caused continuous damage.

As for Asuna, although she didn't have powerful area-of-effect attacks, with Yui's help, she could quickly eliminate the elite demons one by one. Soon, all the monsters were successfully cleared.

"It looks like the demons have already discovered we're here. We need to hurry, or we'll be surrounded!" The battle had already begun ahead, and it was impossible for these demons to gather here out of boredom. They must have been drawn by the explosion.

"Right!" Misan nodded, agreeing with Mufeng. Was the explosion too loud? But without this, they would have to follow the attacking forces, and their chances of survival would be even slimmer.

No one bothered to pick up the items on the ground, but Qiuqiu, with its red beam, quickly swept them all up. By the time Mufeng and the others had run far ahead, Qiuqiu immediately sped up to catch up.

Although the demons looked fierce and mindless, each one was actually assigned a specific role. For example, the demons on the city walls that fired ultra-long-range explosive crystals were not mindless. The entire demon base was designed very reasonably, so even the less intelligent demons wouldn't get lost. This made it easier for Mufeng and the others to find the location of the artifact!

"Bang!" Mufeng and the others burst through the door, finally reaching the entrance to the first-floor stairs. The demons had indeed discovered their infiltration, and there were many monsters guarding here.

"Roar!" The leading monster was one Mufeng had seen before, similar to the demon with a lizard head and a large sword he encountered during his level 10 class quest. The only difference was that this one was much larger and more powerful!

At least five meters tall, almost touching the ceiling, its armor almost covered its entire body, leaving only its long neck and massive tail exposed. Even its lizard-like head was equipped with a custom helmet. Its weapon was a black double-bladed giant axe, with incredible destructive power.

High-level Demon Sator: Level 45 Silver Elite Boss, Health 450,000! The high-level demon leader of the demon base, sent to capture infiltrators.

"Charge!" As a tank, Misan was the first to rush forward, using a taunt skill to force the monster to attack him. Sator immediately became enraged, roaring in anger. He raised his black giant axe with both hands and swung it down at Misan.

"Bang!" Even Misan didn't dare to take this hit and wisely chose to dodge. The giant axe slammed into the ground, creating a large crater. Debris flew, and the axe was deeply embedded in the ground.

"Opportunity!" Mufeng and the others immediately rushed forward, taking advantage of Sator's inability to retrieve his weapon from the ground, and launched a fierce attack!

A level 45 Silver Elite Boss wasn't enough to make Mufeng go all out, but he still activated his Demon Value Burst to quickly eliminate the boss. Yeluo Chengdie and Asuna didn't slack off either.

"Mom, its weak points are its knees, neck, and tail!" Yui, perched on Asuna's shoulder, could even see through the weak points of the Silver Elite Boss! In Asuna's eyes, three red targets immediately appeared, marking the three weak points Yui mentioned. Attacking these areas would deal extra damage!

"Swish, swish!" Silver light flashed as Asuna's attacks rained down on Sator's knees, dealing continuous damage. Concerned about helping the Sky Continent recover the artifact, Asuna didn't slack off, and the red light of her full rage was already shining, indicating she was at full power. It was unknown if Yui could evolve to the point where teammates attacking these weak points could also deal extra damage, but if it happened, it would be amazing.

Yeluo Chengdie, on the other hand, stealthed behind Sator and attacked its tail dragging on the ground. Her two daggers, glowing green, dealt significant damage. More importantly, she chose paralysis and severe injury poisons, which, although difficult to affect the Silver Elite Boss, would allow everyone to deal more damage if they triggered.

"Roar!" Sator finally managed to pull his giant axe out, wielding it with one hand and slashing at Misan.

"Bang!" Misan, lacking Mufeng's dodging ability, had to take the hit. Fortunately, it was just a regular attack, not a boss skill, and he lost over 2000 health but successfully held off Sator's attack. At the same time, a golden light shone on him, and Death Moe's Holy Light spell instantly restored his health.

Actually, Holy Light had a two-second cast time, but Death Moe almost made it an instant cast. This was all thanks to her pre-reading healing technique. Most healers start casting after the tank takes damage, but Death Moe was always in a casting state, observing the tank and the boss. If the tank wouldn't take damage by the end of the cast, she would interrupt it at 1.5 seconds to save mana and start the next cast immediately. This way, the Holy Light spell would land on Misan in no more than 1.5 seconds.

"Such strong healing!" Mufeng couldn't help but nod. In comparison, Shichun, who relied on casting to stabilize the health bar, still had a lot to learn. Hearing Mufeng's praise, Death Moe only smiled faintly, continuing to cast and accurately restoring Misan's health after he took damage.

"Roar!" Although Sator had a low IQ and couldn't speak, he clearly felt that he was being underestimated by the five people in front of him. He raised his battle axe with both hands again, and a swift slash came.

Boss skills couldn't be used just once. Misan, who was already prepared, immediately leaped to the side to dodge.

"Bang!" Unlike the previous attack that embedded the axe in the ground, Sator's this time, though swift, lacked the force to get stuck! The black giant axe was quickly retracted and swung down at Misan again!

"Damn!" Misan cursed, rolling to the left to barely dodge.

"Bang!" Just like before, the giant axe was retracted. What Misan didn't expect was a third attack! Unable to get up from the ground, Misan watched the swift axe coming down, unable to dodge. If he couldn't hold off this attack, he would be teleported back to the Sky Continent!

"Go!" Unexpectedly, Mufeng suddenly appeared from the side, kicking Misan in the back! The kick sent him flying, and Mufeng used the recoil to jump back, successfully dodging the axe. After the three consecutive attacks, Sator's frenzy finally subsided!

"You!" Misan glared at Mufeng, but he was helpless. Mufeng had saved him, but everyone knew Mufeng had better ways to save him than just kicking him.

"Pfft!" Death Moe, rarely seeing her brother in a bind, couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? I'm your brother!" Misan rarely scolded Death Moe.

"Oh..." Death Moe innocently responded, as if Misan had abused her.

"Ah!" Misan almost went into a mental breakdown, raising his dual swords and rushing back, venting all his anger on Sator. As a defensive class that couldn't equip a shield, the defensive Death Knight had the highest attack among tanks. The next highest was the Demon Hunter with the defensive talent, who also didn't use a shield but wielded two one-handed weapons.

Misan immediately activated his ultimate skill, summoning a giant sword taller than himself. The giant sword floated behind him, mimicking his attacks! With wide swings, Misan's long sword caused a rain of blood, and the giant sword dealt the same damage, doubling the damage for a period! His already high attack, when doubled, exceeded most output players! If this skill were used in a one-on-one PK, he could easily kill his opponent by relying on his higher defense!

After all, Sator was just a level 45 Silver Elite Boss. One minute later, he could only fall to the ground in defeat!

"Clank!" An item dropped, which turned out to be Sator's giant axe!

Lizardman Giant Axe: Level (Epic), Attack +213, Strength +43, Stamina +87, +5% Critical, Required Level 30!

Misan, the only one in the group using a two-handed weapon, happily clicked the need button, and Mufeng and the others wisely chose to pass. Equipping the new weapon, Misan immediately felt happy, forgetting his earlier frustration. This weapon was much better than the Mephisto's Spine that Qiushang Bielian had bought for millions recently! After all, this weapon added much more stamina, making it very suitable for Misan, a tank using a two-handed weapon.

Mufeng just smiled and congratulated Misan. Although the weapon was valuable, the bosses they would encounter next would drop even better gear, so there was no need to worry. Besides, they would eventually face each other, and newly obtained gear was the easiest to drop. It might not be long before this weapon ended up in Mufeng's hands. Then he would sell it and Mephisto's Spine together to Fatso, but this time he would insist on selling only to players of the Light Alliance, even if the price was lower. He didn't want his gear to end up in the hands of his opponents, which would be a bad memory.

"Let's continue!" Misan was now full of enthusiasm. This mission
