Chapter 23 â Tier 3 Sword King?
Shi Fengâs words rendered Southern Tiger speechless. As for Moon Rain, who stood nearby, she rolled her eyes and cast a scornful gaze at Shi Feng, her eyes seemingly saying, âThank you for stating the obvious.â
âFriend, itâs not that we donât want to kill the Boss. Itâs just that this Boss simply isnât something we can kill at this stage of the game. Weâll need at least a Tier 4 MT to tank it,â Southern Tiger patiently explained. âMoreover, even if we do have a Tier 4 MT to keep the Boss distracted right now, itâll still be very challenging to kill this Boss with our current DPS.â
The other members of Soulfire repeatedly nodded to Southern Tigerâs words.
Every Soulfire member present was a veteran player who had played Godâs Domain for at least seven years, so they couldnât be more familiar with the strategies used to hunt wild Bosses. While it might seem like players could raid any Bosses so long as they could survive the Bossâs attacks, that wasnât entirely true.
An example of an exception would be Tyrian. Despite being a Level 100 Mythic Boss, it had HP surpassing even Level 130 Mythic Bosses. It was no exaggeration to say that Tyrian had the highest HP out of all the Level 100 Mythic Bosses they had seen thus far.
Meanwhile, with this much HP, Tyrian could recover 120 million HP every five seconds simply by relying on its 2% battle recovery. If a team was incapable of outputting at least 24 million damage per second, itâd be impossible to defeat Tyrian.
However, it should be known that due to the Miniature Ancient Worldâs restrictions, even the peak experts of Super Guilds could only bring a full set of Level 100 Epic Equipment with them. They couldnât bring any Fragmented Legendary items or higher. With only Epic Weapons and Equipment, a peak expert would be fortunate to even cause 500,000 damage per second to an ordinary Mythic monster, let alone a Mythic monster with the Realm Lord title.
Moreover, this DPS was calculated based on the assumption that the Boss wouldnât dodge or block any attacks. After factoring in these situations, the realistic DPS would need to be halved or more!
In other words, only if a 200-man team was composed entirely out of Super Guild-level peak experts and fully geared in Epic Weapons and Equipment would the team have a chance at killing Tyrian. Trying to raid Tyrian with anything less would be nothing but folly!
After hearing Southern Tigerâs explanation, Wu Lingling and the other students inwardly expressed their agreement as well. Although they were unfamiliar with raiding Mythic Bosses, they still knew that the current problem they faced wasnât a lack of combat standards. Instead, it was a matter of their lacking equipment standards and Basic Attributes. Tyrian simply wasnât a Boss they could topple simply by having good techniques and strategies.
Meanwhile, after hearing Southern Tigerâs explanation, Shi Feng also nodded in agreement. Then, he turned to look at Tyrian and said, âThe concerns youâve stated are indeed problematic. However, I have a special method to make up for our lacking DPS. The only problem is whether we have a sufficiently good MT to contain this Boss.â
In Godâs Domain, Realm Lords were not existences that ordinary teams could challenge without having a significant advantage in levels.
Firstly, it was because Realm Lords possessed great destructive power. Ordinary teams would have difficulty finding an expert capable of tanking a Realm Lordâs powerful attacks. Secondly, it was because Realm Lords possessed astonishing HP and Defense. These two factors combined were more than enough to deter any ordinary team from challenging a Realm Lord.
However, these two factors still werenât the most crucial problem. Instead, what made Realm Lords tricky opponents was their Mana Domains. Not only could they gather dense Mana to strengthen their Defense, but they could also use this gathered Mana to enhance their destructive power.
Meanwhile, there were only two solutions to a Realm Lordâs Mana Domain. The first solution was for players to have extraordinary Basic Attributes and destructive power. The second solution was to destroy the Realm Lordâs Mana Domain, which would, in turn, reduce the Realm Lordâs raid difficulty. Only, the latter of the two methods was much more difficult to achieve.
âAre you serious, Friend? Do you really have a way to raid this Boss?â Southern Tiger eagerly asked when he heard Shi Fengâs words. âThatâs six billion HP we are talking about. Even a 1,000-man team of experts will have trouble toppling such an HP!â
As the Realm Lord of a Level 100 Hell Mode Regional Dungeon, Tyrian was undoubtedly an invincible existence to the current players in the Miniature Ancient World. If they could successfully raid Tyrian, setting aside the potential rewards, just the fame they could obtain would instantly put them in the spotlight of the entire Hundred Flow City!
At this time, even Moon Rain couldnât help but take a second look at Shi Feng, her eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.
Previously, when Southern Tiger told her that Shi Feng might be a great expert capable of rivaling Soulfireâs Honorary Elder Blue Smile, she had more or less been skeptical about his judgment. However, after hearing the words Shi Feng just uttered, she was certain that Shi Feng wasnât a mighty expert. After all, what Shi Feng had just said was simply ludicrous. Anyone with even a bit of knowledge regarding Realm Lords would find his words laughable. Rather than a powerful expert, Moon Rain felt that Shi Feng was more likely to be a scammer.
Now that people worldwide had already acknowledged Godâs Domain as the second world for humans, the status players held in Godâs Domain had become just as important as the status they held in the real world.
Meanwhile, because of the Soulfire adventurer teamâs standing in Godâs Domain, countless people sought to befriend Soulfireâs executives. Among these people, many would boast about their ability to accomplish amazing feats just to attract attention to themselves and create the illusion that they were powerful experts. However, when these people were asked to put their words into action, they would back away and start making all sorts of excuses for their inability.
In Moon Rainâs opinion, Shi Feng was no different than these people.
Thinking up to this point, Moon Rain suddenly smiled and looked at Shi Feng, saying, âSince you think we can raid the Boss, why donât we cooperate? We have many capable MTs here. So long as we can raid this Boss, weâll split the loot 30:70. Youâll take 70 while weâll take 30. You can treat it as us doing work for you. What do you think?â
Upon hearing Moon Rainâs words, the other Soulfire members present couldnât help but look at her in confusion.
Soulfire was a top adventurer team in Godâs Domain. Typically, when Soulfire raided Bosses for others, Soulfire would get at least half of the Bossâs loot. After all, raiding a Boss came with significant risks. It was especially true for wild Bosses. Even if players could get resurrected by healers, they would still lose a significant portion of their EXP. Thus, Soulfireâs standard practice was to split the loot evenly with the employer. At most, the employer would have priority pick over the loot.
Although their team was indeed desperate to raid Tyrian, giving away 70% of the Bossâs loot was still a little too much. After all, they had 200 players on their side, whereas Shi Feng only had 31 players on his side. Not to mention, 30 of these 31 players were students. Anyone could tell that their team would be the one doing the bulk of the work.
However, despite their confusion, everyone on Soulfireâs team simply kept their opinions to themselves. Moon Rain was the teamâs second-in-command, after all. While the decision she made was a little surprising, it wasnât entirely unreasonable. In such a situation, even Southern Tiger couldnât casually refute her without offering a better solution.
At this time, even Wu Lingling and the other students couldnât help but look at Moon Rain in surprise.
Although they were unfamiliar with raiding Mythic Bosses, they knew that employing the services of a top adventurer team like Soulfire shouldnât be so cheap. A 30:70 split with Soulfire taking the smaller share would be an unimaginable price in the outside world.
Not to mention, Soulfireâs services werenât something just anyone could ask for. One would typically have to put a hefty down payment to get Soulfire to move. Moreover, this down payment would not be returned regardless of the taskâs success. Yet, now, a team from Soulfire was taking the initiative to seek cooperation. It was simply unbelievable.
Excited over this situation, Wu Lingling and the others turned to look at Shi Feng with expectant gazes.
âIâm sorry, but I cannot agree to your offer,â Shi Feng flatly rejected Moon Rainâs offer, contrary to everyoneâs expectations. Then, just when Moon Rain was about to laugh and say something, Shi Feng added, âA 30:70 split is too small. If we are to cooperate, itâll have to be a 10:90 split at the very least!â
âA 10:90 split?â Upon hearing Shi Fengâs words, Moon Rain retracted her laughter and angrily glared at Shi Feng. Then, in a sharp tone, she said, âWho do you think you are? On what basis are you asking for such a price? Why donât you rob us instead?â
Meanwhile, just when the other Soulfire members were about to nod in agreement with Moon Rainâs words, Shi Feng calmly said, âOn the basis that I am a Tier 3 Sword King with a Mana Domain!â
Immediately after Shi Feng finished speaking, space around Shi Feng suddenly warped, and everyone from Soulfire felt their bodies becoming extremely heavy!
