Chapter 160
n
nReality proved 4Seas had been worrying too much. Though the Undermoons fooled around a bit, when they got serious, it was as if they used cheats.
nFrom floor 59 onwards, with Shi Sheng and Godly Tycoon supporting them from the back, 4Seas’ group had pretty much been left with nothing to do but enjoy the scenery.
nThis was the first time Shi Sheng had seen these four truly in action. They chose their character races to optimise their character builds according to the game’s meta, so it was no surprise that Snowfall picked a female avatar.
nPerhaps it was the developers’ way of evening out the ratio of genders, for the female avatars could heal for more than male ones.
nThese four managed to take spots on the leaderboards as well as clear all the way up to floor 59 of Twinklegem Tower, so it was impossible for them to be useless.
nLoudspeaker Hyacinth : Latest news, Li Suo Dashen has already reached floor 68. Only two more floors till he clears the tower.
nParty 4Seas8Lands : We’re behind a floor.
nThey had only just reached floor 67.
nParty Godly Tycoon : The last boss isn’t easy to deal with. Take this opportunity to get ready. We still have a chance.
nParty Snowfall Undermoon : i don wanna take on the last boss, scared
nParty Windsong Undermoon : tycoon, hurry up and drag snowfall back to your place. I can feel goosebumps popping up
nParty Godly Tycoon : I’ll deal with him tonight.
nParty Snowfall Undermoon : i already said we weren’t hooking up! if u guys keep this up, i’m logging off… rly, I’m rly going to log off…
nParty 4Seas8Lands : Little Music, continue.
nHe didn’t want to speak to those couple of weirdos. The final few floors of Twinklegem Tower were the hardest to beat; Shi Sheng and gang spent more than half an hour on floor 69 before finally making it to the last floor.
nJust a few minutes ago, that Hyacinth fellow had provided another update on Li Suo’s progress: they had also just entered the final floor.
nParty Music For Miles : This boss will use a special attack at 20% HP. Circles of light will appear on the ground. It’ll be fine as long as you don’t step on them. It also has a rejuvenation skill it’ll use at 5% HP. If it succeeds, its HP will recover to 50%. You can only disrupt it while it’s casting.
nWith the original storyline acting as a guide, Shi Sheng explained. Just because the tower hadn’t been cleared before didn’t mean no one had made it to this floor.
nMany guilds had been stopped at the last boss; even for 4Seas and gang, this wasn’t their first time attempting it.
nThe cause of all those party wipes was that rejuvenation technique.
nOnce you had reached the 65th floor, you weren’t allowed to leave. The moment you left, you’d have to start over from the beginning.
nWhen your party was already exhausted but the boss healed itself back up, would you have any other choice but to die?
nParty Sir Jade : This problem was mentioned in the forums, but no one’s found a way to disrupt it.
nParty Music For Miles : Haven’t you guys read the lore behind Twinklegem Tower?
nParty 4Seas8Lands : No.
nAfter all, he didn’t have any interest in this false history that he had no real purpose for learning.
nShi Sheng sweated. ‘As expected, gamers tend to skip the lore…’
nParty Music For Miles : Twinklegem Tower is used to suppress
/seal demons so the boss is a demon. In a bit, those playing demons, stand further back while the people with deity characters, use Cloudmist Mantra to disrupt the boss’ rejuvenation ability.
nThis had been revealed when the male and female leads had cleared the tower. If demons attacked this boss, not only would it not harm the boss, it would even help the boss out.
nThe best party composition to dungeon with was one with a combination of deities, demons, humans, and spirits, so the tower toppling parties had to have demons in them.
nAt first, no one had known about this feature, so they had allowed the demons to attack the final boss too. The result was having their parties wiped out.
nThey listened to Shi Sheng’s suggestion. When the boss was at its last chunk of health, the demon characters retreated while the deities advanced.
nAnd as expected, the boss’ rejuvenation technique was interrupted. The 5% chunk of health was quickly exhausted.
nSystem Announcement: Congratulations 4Seas8Lands for having led the first party to clear Twinklegem Tower.
nSystem Announcement: The Divine Weapon, “Bloodsucker” has appeared. The great war between the deity and demon races has once again begun. Chaos begets heroes, who will be the true ruler?
nSystem Announcement: The server will be closed for updating in 30 minutes. Players, please log off before this time. After the update, the Demon-Deity Camps will be unlocked. For more information, please check our official website.
nThree system announcements popped up in a row. People weren’t given a chance to digest the first one when the second and third ones popped out to shock them even further.
nThe Demon-Deity Camps were one of the main selling points of 《Land of Gods & Demons》. But ever since the servers opened, this feature hadn’t been activated. What no one had expected was that Twinklegem Tower needed to be cleared before the camps were activated.
nWorld Doesn’t Mind Trouble : that ain’t right… how come the Demon-Deity Camps didn’t come out in Transient Dream then?
nWorld Eenie Wenie Little Bit : go see the forums, the announcement just showed up at transient dreams
nPeople started flocking towards the forums.
nAt the same time, Shi Sheng and gang had just been transferred out of the tower, where they came face to face with Li Suo’s team, who had also been transferred out.
nArea 5kernel Mooncake : despicable!
nArea Wind-walking The Heavens : who u callin despicable?!
nWind-walking The Heavens was famous for having a short temper.
nArea Ol’ Guo : you guys started a massacre at fallback valley to hold back so many of our people. didn’t you guys look down on these methods the most?
nArea Bubai’s Blooming Flower1 : you guys started it in fallback valley, what’s it got to do with us
nRight at the moment where it looked like another fight would break out, Dashen Li Suo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
nArea Li Suo : Congratulations.
nThe channel fell silent.
nArea 4Seas8Lands : Gg {good game}
nArea Snowfall Undermoon : hey drunkflower b****es, u mad u didn’t get the first clear? hahaha, thinking about u guys being upset makes meh very happeh
nArea Wind-walking The Heavens : damned ladyboy, this has nothing to do with you, shut up!
nArea Snowfall Undermoon : Brother windy, you’re so bad! When you liked me, you called me Baby, brought me to see the stars and the moon… yet now you’re treating me like this… so heartbroken
nEveryone felt shivers run up their spine as goosebumps popped up.
nSystem Announcement: Player Music For Miles has placed a bounty of 380g on Wind-walking The Heavens. Limited to 24 hours.
nArea Music For Miles : nearly forgot about yesterday’s matter. here, i’ll fix it
nArea Drunkalone Undermoon : lil musey, this reaction speed of yours…
n‘This happened yesterday yet she only just recalled it…’
nArea Wind-walking The Heavens : clearwest u b**ch, and u said u didn’t sell us out. yet now ur standing with 4seas. what else do u hav to say for urself?
nArea Music For Miles : wow, I see u and sang yu’s not late are standing together. u guys must be together
nArea Sang Yu’s Not Late : Clearwest, stop talking nonsense!
nArea Windsong Undermoon : according to windy’s logic, lil musey’s right
nArea 4Seas8Lands : I can testify that Music didn’t sell you guys out in the City War yesterday.
nArea Wind-walking The Heavens : you’re on the same side, of course you’d speak up for her
nArea 4Seas8Lands : Li Suo, you’re clear what kind of person I am.
