Blitz strategy 3

"Quick, attack now!!" Lan He urged loudly. The most difficult part of the blitz strategy, luring the monsters, was actually accomplished by this classless guy. But to annihilate this pile of monsters in one go wouldn't be easy; it definitely wasn't something two mages could handle with just one spell each.

Lei Ming Dian Guang and Yun Gui didn't dare to delay, one casting Flame Surge, the other Blizzard.

These two spells belonged to different schools of magic. Although they were of the same level, their effects were distinct. The Fire Mage's Flame Surge emphasized explosive power. Once cast, a fiery magic circle ignited beneath the goblins' feet, and with a "whoosh," flames shot up three meters high.

The goblins were lifted into the air by the surge, screaming and tumbling in the flames. But this skill wasn't just for show; the pillar of fire that shot up disappeared after a second, and the goblins were about to crash back to the ground when Yun Gui's Blizzard started to "whoosh" down. Hail mixed with snowflakes, each as big as a bun, mercilessly pelted the goblins.

The attack of Flame Surge was just a moment, but Blizzard lasted for four seconds, averaging one hit per second. In terms of total damage, Blizzard was higher, but the instantaneous output was clearly more fierce with Flame Surge. This showcased the distinct characteristics of the Ice and Fire schools.

"Xiu Lu Lu!" Ye Kai shouted, and Zhi Yue Qing Cheng, who was prepared, quickly threw out "Xiu Lu Lu" right into the center of the monster pile.

"Xiu Lu Lu" was like a rag doll with a taunting effect on monsters within a 2-meter radius, forcing them to focus their aggression on it. Of course, this wasn't unconditional; firstly, Xiu Lu Lu's level couldn't be lower than the monsters', and secondly, ordinary Xiu Lu Lu was ineffective against elites, bosses, lords, etc., which required another passive skill "Xiu Lu Lu Improvement" to be effective one by one. Zhi Yue Qing Cheng's level wasn't high enough to learn "Xiu Lu Lu Improvement," but her "Xiu Lu Lu" scaled with level, so there was no issue there. With her throw, all the goblins ran towards "Xiu Lu Lu."

"It can only hold for a moment!" Zhi Yue Qing Cheng shouted after throwing. Xiu Lu Lu's effect was indeed long, lasting a full 20 seconds, but the problem was that the little rag doll didn't have much life. The monsters, attracted by the taunt, weren't just coming to watch; they would attack. With such a large pile of goblins, Xiu Lu Lu would be smashed to pieces in an instant.

Lei Ming Dian Guang's Flame Surge and Yun Gui's Blizzard naturally had cooldowns, one for 6 seconds, the other for 8 seconds. At this moment, both were frantically casting their single-target spells, clearly overwhelmed by the large pile of goblins.

"Enough!" Ye Kai said as he sent Jun Mo Xiao charging in. With the effect of Xiu Lu Lu, the goblins became more orderly. The melee ones gathered around Xiu Lu Lu, and the ranged ones started attacking it. Xiu Lu Lu lasted only a second before being torn to shreds. But by then, Jun Mo Xiao had already charged into their midst, the war spear gone, and in each hand, he held an Eastern stick, grabbing a goblin and executing a back throw.

The back throw sent out a shockwave, neatly knocking down a row of goblins.

"Swordsmen, get ready for Silver Light Falling Blade! Cast it as you rise," Ye Kai commanded.

Lan He, who hadn't yet taken action, was startled by the command but quickly reacted, rushing forward with his light sword, Flaming Sun.

All the goblins were getting up in unison, and Lan He had already jumped into the air, aiming for the center of the monsters, pushing the sword out with both hands as if flying on the sword, rapidly descending into the midst of the monsters.

Swordsman skill: Silver Light Falling Blade.

The higher the jump for Silver Light Falling Blade, the greater the power and the wider the range of the shockwave. Lan He, as one of the top five experts of Blue Brook Guild, immediately understood Ye Kai's intention after the command. His Silver Light Falling Blade was executed perfectly, and as the shockwave spread out, the monsters that had just risen from the ground were neatly knocked down again.

A series of area-of-effect skills, not aiming for high damage, but ensuring that the gathered monsters were always knocked down, unable to get up and attack. However, even the back throw and Silver Light Falling Blade had cooldowns, and it was impossible to completely control the field with just these two skills. Xiu Lu Lu's cooldown was even longer, at 30 seconds, and couldn't be relied upon in the short term.

"Does this guy have any other area-of-effect skills for his class?" Lan He wondered, recalling all the pre-class change skills that were like back throw or Silver Light Falling Blade. Then he heard the next command: "Shadow Cloak."

"Right!" Lan He realized, watching as Zhi Yue Qing Cheng stepped forward and waved her hand, a purple-black cloak flew out from her sleeve, enveloping many goblins in the middle, then the cloak tightened, and the goblins screamed as they were squeezed into a group, neatly falling down again.

"It seems the cooldowns are about right," Lan He calculated the cooldown times of the skills, and then heard the next command: "Flame Surge."

Lei Ming Dian Guang's Flame Surge cooldown had indeed ended, and he cast it upon command. After the casting bar filled, it coincided with the goblins standing up once again.

The pillar of fire soared, the goblins tumbled in the air, and upon landing, another two seconds had passed. Lan He then realized that even this was a crowd control skill.

A true expert, indeed. To be able to use these skills, which weren't meant for crowd control, to achieve such an effect, and to complete a blitz strategy on an equal-level dungeon, was truly powerful!

Lan He knew that at this point, as long as no one made an operational mistake, this blitz strategy would be considered a success.

Lan He understood, and so did the others. With awe, under Ye Kai's command, one skill followed another, and the goblins struggled between rising and falling. Only after various items were scattered all over the ground did the four of them come back to their senses. Over twenty goblins had miraculously been taken down in a blitz.

"Keep moving quickly," the other side seemed not to find anything miraculous about it, shouting and immediately moving forward.

Lan He and his team hurriedly followed, glancing at the ground and seeing nothing of value, they didn't bother with it. Who had time to waste on this when pushing for a dungeon clear record?

Just then, Deng Hua Ye from outside the dungeon sent a message: "How's it going? Still alive?"

"A god, a real TMD god!!" Lan He replied.

"What are you talking about?"

"Blitz! Blitz!"

"Blitz your head, what are you talking about?" Deng Hua Ye was confused.

"We're blitzing the dungeon!" Lan He said.

"Are you joking?" Deng Hua Ye didn't believe it.

"Just wait and watch us on TV, hahaha!" Glory players colloquially referred to appearing on the system announcement as "being on TV."

Deng Hua Ye blankly closed the message window, and Xi Zhou asked, "How's it going?"

"They... are blitzing the dungeon," Deng Hua Ye said.

"Blitzing?" Xi Zhou was also stunned.
