The Return of the Sword God

Night Guards

Shi Fengs words confused the other members.

Isn't that just a rumbling sound? What to watch out for?

When Shi Feng saw everyone's disdainful expressions, he couldn't help but say seriously, “Listen carefully to all of you. Hell's Roar isn't as simple as you think. In a moment, follow my request while advancing. If anyone makes a mistake, do not blame me for directly removing you from the party.”

Being lectured by Shi Feng in such a way, all the other members became serious. No one wants to leave the party.

“In a moment, Cola and I will walk in front. Lonely Snow, you walk in the middle and protect the Oracle. Blackie, you and Summoner will be walking in the back. Remember, you should not damage the formation no matter what the activity. Without my command, no one can be the first to attack, do you all understand?” Shi Feng explained the basics of the formation to the party.

The reason Shi Feng allowed the Guardian Knight, Cola, to walk in front was because he let Cola add all of his Free Ability Points into Endurance. HP has now reached 310 points. With this much HP, Cola could last longer, sharing some of Shi Fengs burden.

Dungeons in God's territory are unlike Dungeons in other virtual reality games. The level of freedom within the Dungeon was high, and the Dungeon itself was huge. There were even some parties of players who roamed the Dungeon for hours without meeting a single Boss. Although the Deathly Forest was not that big, it was still possible to get lost within the dark and gloomy forest.

If someone is lost...

Shi Feng only wanted to say 'hehe'.

The terrifying part of the Deathly Forest was that players could get lost once they entered the forest. In the end, the players would die mysteriously one after another. In Shi Fengs previous life, there were countless players who had entered the forest and died repeatedly to such an extent without even meeting the shadow of a monster. If they were lucky and met a monster, then the result was a party-wipe. Only after the many experts from the Guild had done so did everyone finally understand how terrifying the Deathly Forest was. They had admitted that it was a terrifying Dungeon that was impossible to complete without reaching Level 5.

When the Shadow Guild reached Level 5, they had organized hundreds of players to search for a path in the Deathly Forest. They had paid over hundreds of lives to finally gain a clear understanding of the map of the Deathly Forest.

The entire Deathly Forest had thirty-six paths. However, only three of them led to the first Boss, Willie. These three paths are paved with the lives of many players. Two of these three paths are extremely dangerous. Without sufficient strength, death would be the only result. There was only one path that had a bit of a monster.

Under Shi Fengs lead, everyone entered into the forest.

As they entered the forest, everyone discovered that there were too many paths through the forest. They don't know which way is right. However, Shi Feng had chosen one without hesitation. Everyone followed him closely while being cautious of their surroundings.

After walking for about five minutes, they met their first monster. Suddenly, everyone started to tense up.

“Do not act on impulse. Listen to my orders.” Shi Feng shouted out loudly.

In front of them was only a Level 2 Elite monster, the Night Rabbit. However, due to the strengthening of the Dungeon, its Attack, Defense, and HP increased tremendously. His HP reached 700 points.

“Cola, you're fishing for that monster. Oracle, watch the healing. Everyone, don't start the attack without my command,” Shi Feng quickly gave the order.

The Guardian Knight, Cola swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He carefully walked towards the attack range of the Night Rabbit. Everyone is so nervous. Although these were only Level 2 Elite, they were currently in Hell Mode in the Underground Prison.

However, everyone's nervousness was in vain. When the human-tall Night Rabbit saw Cola, he immediately ran over.

Cola had managed to lure the Night Rabbit. Moreover, he did not panic while fishing for it. He retreated while using his shield to block the Night Rabbit's attack. However, even though each strike landed on the shield, the damage was still terrible; just one blow resulted in 42 damage. By the time Cola returned to the front of the party, his HP had already dropped by a third.

The Oracle, named Drowsy Sloth, has a good conscience. He had provided healing the moment Cola entered his casting range. However, each cure can only add 24 HP to Cola; it is simply not enough to stop the collapse of Cola's HP.

“Brother Feng, are we still not attacking?” Blackie was a little nervous. Currently, the rest of Cola's HP did not even reach a third of its total.

Bringing the Oracle to the Dungeon was simply a total mistake. Among the Healing Jobs, Oracles had the weakest healing abilities. However, since Shi Feng had chosen it, Blackie could only acknowledge it. Now that their MT was on the verge of death, it was unacceptable for them to still not attack.

"Wait." Shi Feng said firmly.

Time passed by little by little. Cola continuously used his shield to block the Night Rabbit's claw attacks, while his HP continued to decline. Cola only had 20% HP left, yet Shi Feng had yet to give any orders to attack.

Just when everyone thought Shi Feng wanted to give up on Cola, an arrow flew through the forest, shooting straight at the party Oracle, Drowsy Sloth. Lonely Snow did not react at all when Drowsy Sloth was hit directly on his chest. An enormous damage of -123 points appeared.

At this moment, Shi Feng shouted, “Relief, use Life Payments. Use the damage you received to cure Cola. Blackie, hold down Night Rabbit for Cola to recover. Lonely, come with me. Everyone attacks Night Rabbits.”

Oracle is the weakest in healing. However, Oracles had high HP; they would not be easily defeated. In addition, Oracles had two skills when first starting out. One is the Prayer of Life, while the other is the Payment of Life. Life Payment can turn the damage the user receives into a cure for use on other players. In the early period of the game, the healer does not have much skill or equipment. With regards to such a situation, Oracles had a greater advantage over other healers when entering the Deathly Forest. That was the reason why Shi Feng gave up on choosing a Priest over an Oracle.

“Do you think I'll let you escape?” Shi Feng said coldly as he looked at the dark shadow flowing through the forest.

Wind Blade!

Shi Feng turned into a ghost, chasing straight ahead.

The reason why Shi Feng had not allowed anyone to attack the Night Rabbit was to use Cola as bait. Shi Feng wanted to lure the dark hand that was hiding behind the scenes.

Although the Night Rabbit looked terrifying, the Elite group could face two or three rabbits at once without any problems. However, in Shi Fengs previous life, the reason why even a group of Level 5 Elites could be annihilated was because of the dark shadow in front of Shi Feng. This dark shadow used the Night Rabbit as bait, luring players to attack him. Instead, a dark shadow would ambush the healer from behind. As the Night Rabbit occupied everyone, there was no way to save the healer. In the end, everyone dies.

Within the Deathly Forest, if players did not deal with this person, the result would be party-wipe.

With the increase in Movement Speed from Wind Blade, Shi Feng quickly chased after the dark shadows. Shi Feng swung the three sword slashes, closing the path forward of the dark shadow.

The black shadow knew that it could not escape. He immediately turned around, unsheathing a pair of blades to block Shi Fengs attack.

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!

With the Hell Blade, Shi Fengs Strength was extremely high. His attack caused the dark shadow to retreat by three steps, and each step of its retreat would be followed by more than -10 damage. In the end, a dark shadow revealed its figure under the moonlight.

[Night Guard] (Special Elite)

Level 2's

HP 1458/1500S

Seeing the Night Ranger successfully being knocked back, Shi Feng immediately used the Abyssal bond without giving him a chance. Nine pitch-black chains appeared to bind the Night Ranger, preventing it from moving for 3 seconds, and its Defense was reduced by 100%.

Thundering Flashes!

Decompose!

Damage -81, -98, -119, -124 appeared. The moment the two skills landed, enormous damage appeared, eliminating a quarter of the Night Ranger's HP.

No matter how formidable the Night Ranger was, he could not break away from the nine chains bond. He could only silently receive a punch for a full 3 seconds.

Shi Feng was unrestrained as he sent out sword slashes after sword slashes, breaking through a vital point in the Night Guard's chest. By the time the Night Ranger broke away from the tie, the rest of his HP did not exceed 700 points.

Wretched man! The Night Guards were furious. He brandished his twin swords like a strong wind, engulfing Shi Feng.

At this moment, Lonely Snow finally caught up. The attack from him had caused the Night Ranger to enter a fainting state, at the same time breaking the Night Ranger's sword which was like a strong wind.

Shi Feng took the opportunity to slash the Night Ranger's neck.

Lonely Snow also brandished his huge axe to the Night Ranger.

By the time the Night Ranger woke up, he only had the rest of his HP remaining. Night Ranger suddenly swung his twin swords towards Lonely Snow, making him fly backwards and inflict 64 damage. Night Ranger turned his head to stare at Shi Feng, once again brandishing his twin swords and slashing horizontally towards Shi Fengs neck.

Damnit damnit! Shi Feng used Parry with his sword. Without giving the Night Guards a chance to retaliate, Shi Feng lifted the guard up and threw it back. Then, Shi Feng continued on with a few sword attacks, finishing off the Night Ranger.

Shi Feng easily retrieved the two falling objects, then immediately dashed towards the location of Cola to provide assistance.

Lying beside him, Lonely Snow became dumbfounded after seeing Shi Fengs agile skill. His heart was filled with shock, Lonely Snow even forgot to follow Shi Feng to support him.

Is there a way to kill monsters?
