Master Player
In the face of Jiang Han's derisive remarks, Kaelo seethed with hatred, roaring, "All adventurers, step back! Your sheer numbers only serve to enhance his life and tenacity!"
As the attacking party, he, like the adventurers of the defending faction gathered around him, naturally understood the enhancements Jiang Han received.
...
However, his proposal received no response.
The adventurers from the attacking party exchanged glances, ultimately choosing to continue their relentless attacks. Arrows and magic rained down on Jiang Han, but unfortunately, the damage inflicted was minimal.
It's worth noting that the effective range of ranged professions is only about 50 meters to maintain accuracy. If the distance is too far, both archers and spellcasters find it exceedingly difficult to hit their targets.
So, expecting the attacks of tens of thousands of players on the battlefield to all focus on Jiang Han was simply unrealistic.
With the power of Death Essence, even though he hadn't left the battle, his regeneration was around 140 points per second. Coupled with occasionally consuming a health potion, the attacks of ordinary players posed no real threat.
"You..."
Kaelo glanced at the adventurers who ignored him, his face turning purple with anger.
"Thirty seconds, your rage has thirty seconds left." Standing within the protective circle of the Skeleton Knight, Jiang Han continued to apply verbal pressure.
Hearing this, Kaelo became even more agitated. Gripping his silver sword, he charged straight at Jiang Han, shouting, "Damn Skeleton Knight, get out of my way!"
"Twenty seconds!"
"Ten seconds!"
...
Kaelo was in a state of uncontrollable rage, devoid of reason, glaring fiercely at Jiang Han. "You're too noisy!"
Evil Tread!
Seeing the opponent's Furious state about to end, Jiang Han decisively acted. With his rapid growth in five-star speed, the opponent hadn't reacted yet when Jiang Han stepped on him.
-14786!
Afterward, a complete set of skill combinations left Kaelo's health bar depleted.
"Spare me!" Kaelo, now under Jiang Han's foot, looked desperate, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance. He begged, "Considering the equipment and skills I once provided you, please spare me!"
"Hmph!"
The answer to him was the sound of a sword slashing across his neck.
The wielder of the sword remained indifferent.
Spare him?
Impossible!
He came seeking revenge for 20,000 gold coins, revealing his narrow-mindedness and vengeful nature. Now, faced with various taunts, he was likely driven to madness. Allowing him a way out would only create unnecessary trouble for Jiang Han in the future!
"Chime!~"
System Prompt: Congratulations on slaying the third wave BOSS from the attacking party, [Furious Soldier Kaelo], gaining an additional 500 points!
"Chime!~"
System Prompt: Congratulations on slaying the level 35 Silver-grade BOSS [Furious Soldier Kaelo], receiving rewards: +2000 Reputation, +300,000 Experience!
With Kaelo's death, three pieces of equipment exploded on the ground. Jiang Han quickly picked them up, not bothering to check the attributes. After gulping down a health potion, he continued to deal with the surging adventurers.
Glancing at the time, Jiang Han estimated that he still needed to endure for another thirteen minutes!
Taking a deep breath, he tightly gripped the Cold Cloud Sword, slashing through the surrounding adventurers like cutting wheat, each strike a swift kill.
...
On the city tower, Daniel, who had been closely watching the battle between Jiang Han and Kaelo, had a satisfied expression. "I believe that when I resurrect, you will undoubtedly be a formidable figure known across the Grand Eternal Continent..."
After speaking, he seemed to sense something, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance. "Brandi, you're truly persistent!"
He could sense a force comparable to his own in the distance, but due to the limitations of the rules, it couldn't enter the scene for now.
...
Two minutes... Four minutes...
Time passed bit by bit, and the sounds of battle below the city intensified. Countless eyes were fixed on Jiang Han.
"I feel like we can't kill him at all; we're just helping him gain experience!"
"Forget it, I give up."
"I don't believe that none of us can break through his defense. I have a hunch that the experts are hiding in the crowd, waiting for the right moment!"
...
Unable to deal effective damage, many players began to feel frustrated.
"It's finally my turn in the front!"
At a certain moment, when the corpses piled up around Jiang Han, a man with a fiery red greatsword appeared before him. He was better equipped than the surrounding players, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
Jiang Han frowned slightly, sensing some pressure from the man.
No doubt, there were skilled players among them!
Scout!
[Autumn Breeze Wutong] (Crimson Flame Swordsman)
Level: 25
Health: 20,070
Attack: 705-752
Defense: 353-377
Skills: [Flame Slash], [Flame Dragon Dance], [Flame God's Protection], [Wrath of the Crimson Flame]
...
Crimson Flame Swordsman?
Jiang Han was quite surprised.
Undoubtedly, like him, this person belonged to a hidden profession.
"Do you have a hidden profession and still need trouble from me?" Jiang Han asked.
This was the first time he had encountered another hidden profession, and he was genuinely interested in the strength and skills of the opponent.
Autumn Breeze Wutong pointed the greatsword at Jiang Han, smiling. "Word has it that if you have a hidden profession, choosing to give up other hidden professions will convert the game's rewards into equivalent alternatives."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Han nodded.
"Moreover, I'm quite interested in your personal strength, with that SS-level talent. It's truly admirable..." he said, charging towards Jiang Han, flames suddenly erupting from him.
"Chime!~"
System Prompt: Autumn Breeze Wutong uses skill [Wrath of the Crimson Flame], all attributes increase by 25%, lasting two minutes. As a cost, after the skill ends, level decreases by 10!
...
Jiang Han saw the description of Wrath of the Crimson Flame and furrowed his brows slightly.
This skill was somewhat similar to the Dark Reincarnation he could use at level 50, although Wrath of the Crimson Flame had a less impressive amplification and shorter duration. Still, the 25% increase in all attributes brought him up to Kaelo's level of strength.
"Bring it on!"
Autumn Breeze Wutong raised the fiery greatsword, and as it descended, the blade radiated intense flames, displaying formidable power.
Watching the sword fall, Jiang Han's expression remained calm. Standing in place, he made no attempt to dodge, directly enduring the damage from the incoming strike.
"Hmph!"
The large sword landed on Jiang Han's shoulder, causing over 10,000 damage.
"Chime!~"
System Prompt: You are attacked by Autumn Breeze Wutong's [Flame Slash], receiving 10,578 damage!
"Awesome!"
"A master has appeared!"
"There are so many experts in the Eastern Region; he definitely isn't
the only one. Let's snatch the last hit, and we're done."
...
Seeing someone deal high damage, all players saw hope in killing Jiang Han.
"It's my turn." Jiang Han replied casually. His entire body's movement speed skyrocketed several times. With a swift kick, he sent Autumn Breeze Wutong's face flying, then pressed down, forcefully smashing him into the ground.
Evil Tread!
-8547!
"Suppression for 2 seconds?"
Autumn Breeze Wutong hadn't even had time to feel embarrassed about the damage to his dignity when he saw the effect. His face changed dramatically; such a long control effect was quite deadly!
"Chime!~"
System Prompt: Autumn Breeze Wutong uses skill [Flame God's Protection], defense increases by 30% for five seconds!
Rampant Slaughter!
Jiang Han executed a four-hit combo.
"!!"
Autumn Breeze Wutong saw his health drop to only 23 points, cold sweat breaking out.
He was about to roll away to avoid further attacks when he saw a large, purplish-black energy forming in his vision—a grip of death.
"Again?" He found himself immobilized once more, his face turning grim. "Damn disgusting control!"
