MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1296 - Chapter 1296 Chapter 196 Building Momentum

Chapter 1296: Chapter 196: Building Momentum Chapter 1296: Chapter 196: Building Momentum While the people of Starfire excitedly explained to Li Yao about the various precious items that could be harvested in the following four days from the Red Fortress, the entire forum was already in the midst of various storms.

The power of the legion was simply too overwhelming, something that players at this stage shouldn’t possess. But now, it had fallen into the hands of a player, causing countless people to feel envious, jealous, and resentful, especially the Hunters. They believed that even if their archery skills were terrible, owning this bow could turn them into super experts.

And those classes that could use bows as secondary weapons were also desperately eager to get their hands on this bow. Even though bows were not their primary weapons, just the attribute boosts alone were game-changing, and this bow was even the kind that grew with level and quality, including other special effects.

They believed that the subsequent special effects would be even more game-changing, so everyone was green with envy.

Many people weren’t convinced and started comparing other equipment showcased on the forum with the Star Bow, only to feel that those items were utterly inferior, whether it be in foundational attribute boosts, attribute bonuses, or special effect skills.

“Prairie Fire is going to be invincible.”

“He was already invincible, okay? Now, he’s mass-killing invincible.”

“Right? I haven’t seen what those magic meteors are really like, but I can imagine Prairie Fire using his secret techniques, then activating the special effects. It would definitely create a real meteor shower.”

“Why do all the good things end up in his hands? It’s unfair.”

“Exactly, such a trash game, utterly unbalanced.”

“Someone above, get lost. If it’s a trash game, stop playing it.”

“Right, what would even count as fair? Forcing those strong players to downscale their attributes? With skills but can’t show it off? That kind of enforced fairness is the only fairness, idiotic as it sounds, then there’s no point.”

“Exactly, it’s this kind of game, full of hope and goals, that’s fun. Although others are strong, we also have hope. Others may have good equipment, but we can also find treasure chests and complete missions. But if you didn’t get any, blame your own luck. Calling the game trash, you’re probably trash in real life too.”

“This is called being one step ahead and staying ahead. With Prairie Fire setting the example, it’s not just us ordinary players chasing the technique. Even the experts are frantically catching up. Think about how the ancient gods started and look at now. Not to mention others, even I myself can now beat ten of my former selves.”

“Ah, if only we could see the power of the Star Bow.”

“Same wish.”

However, this wasn’t the end. The thread where Starfire showed off their equipment added a video of the Angel Protecting the Mine.

The video was fifteen minutes long, with the Angel single-handedly blocking the entrance of the mine and protecting the last flag for ten minutes without any healing.

The players learned that this was because Starfire and another guild were fighting a fierce battle over a centaur recruitment spot, and reinforcements were on their way.

But the guild took advantage of the Starfire war to launch a surprise attack on the mine. The mine had three key points, each with a flag. Capturing a flag and waiting for one minute would allow complete occupation, and capturing all three flags would secure ownership. Players were not unfamiliar with this mode; in fact, battles of this nature had been common in recent days, with several faction guilds fighting for territory using this battle mode.

However, the Legion guarding the mine and its players were already relatively few in number. Combined with the surprise attack and the appearance of the Fiery Mechanism Crossbow, it clearly caught Starfire off guard.

The Fiery Mechanism Crossbow roared insanely, and players from Starfire’s Legion fell like cut grass, their eyes blazing red with anger.

But there was no choice, as the footage showed the guild using the crossbow to sweep through two strongholds, demonstrating its formidable power.

Merely a dozen crossbows, yet they gave the impression of an overwhelming army. Many were inquiring where the blueprint of the crossbow, a superweapon for resource point contestation, could be found.

Everyone thought that Starfire wouldn’t be able to hold this stronghold and couldn’t understand why Starfire would allow such an embarrassing video to be posted. However, as events unfolded, everyone was stunned.

Subsequently, a flag was positioned inside the mine, where the defending Angel, with fewer than thirty people in the last squad, retreated to this stronghold to face a force of tens of thousands, along with the Fiery Mechanism Crossbow. Nobody believed Starfire had a chance to win.

However, the defending Angel activated his Tortoise Pattern Barrier. Facing the relentless bombing from the crossbow and coordinated long-range attacks from the players, the Angel astonishingly stood firm.

For ten full minutes, an entire ten minutes of bombardment, all players went mad, thinking this was absolutely against the heavens.

During five of those minutes, Starfire reinforcements arrived and launched a furious attack on the guild. Then, in the next five minutes, they forced the enemy formation into complete disarray, leaving the guild no choice but to destroy the crossbow so that Starfire couldn’t obtain it.

Yet, the defending Angel still stood at the entrance of the cave, truly like a lone hero guarding a pass, invincible against thousands.

“It’s a branch enhancement of the fifth order, the Tortoise Pattern Barrier. My God, at first, I thought this shield would further reduce its range and wasn’t worth choosing, but it turned out to be so against the heavens.”

“Wrong, it’s mainly that golden shield, which boosts the shield’s durability and strength by two hundred percent, and its recovery speed by a hundred percent. That’s the real reason it’s indestructible. That golden shield seems specifically made for someone who doesn’t understand barriers, this shield is probably unique too. Others who chose the Tortoise Pattern Barrier can’t compare at all, but this ability is indeed powerful, even unenhanced it would be considered against the heavens.”

Those of the same profession as the defending Angel went crazy, while other players once again witnessed the extraordinary prowess of this class.

Although the audience admired the defending Angel’s capabilities, they soon became curious: what does this have to do with Li Yao’s Bow and Arrow? They mainly wanted to see the Starfire’s bow. Although the shield was top-notch and had incredible attributes, it was only game-changing for specific players; for ordinary warriors, the attributes were not useless, but rather suboptimal–you’d rather trade a golden shield for other attributes.

But the legendary bow was different; any class that could equip a Bow and Arrow wanted to acquire it.

They soon realized what was happening when the post was updated again, accompanied by a short but incredibly impactful video.

In the video, Li Yao casually drew his Bow and Arrow, and with one arrow, he shattered the Angel’s shield and then a Magic Meteor streaked across the sky annihilating the defending Angel in an instant.

If it weren’t for the previous invincibility of the defending Angel, Li Yao killing an individual would have been nothing unusual, but no one doubted Li Yao’s skills now.

But this time he took down the defending Angel, who alone could withstand countless players and the slaughtering Fiery Mechanism Crossbow for ten minutes–a truly against-the-heavens level of defense, yet such an indomitable tank was vanquished in an instant.

One Arrow Ascension, directly penetrating the shield and impressively durable armor, reducing its durability to zero, then blasting out like an Artillery Shell; it was a terrifying display of power.

What’s more, that meteor was real, its frightening presence far scarier than any Magic Meteor could compare to.

The forums instantly erupted…
