Chapter 1 The Time to Go Online

Nie Yan returned home and had dinner with Xie Yao. It was almost time to go online.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao entered the game together. Streaks of white light flashed, and Xie Yao, Sun, Brilliant Knife Light, and others appeared near him one after another.

"Does anyone have a good idea?" Nie Yan looked at the ten dark druids in the distance and asked in the team chat.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled wryly. What good idea could they have in this situation?

"We can only go in hard."

"I don't know how much mana those dark druids have. If their healing is continuous, we simply can't exhaust them," Brilliant Knife Light said. Going in hard was a last resort. He frowned slightly. "If there's a way to drain their mana, they'll be easier to deal with."

"Drain their mana? A priest's mana burn?" Tang Yao asked, stunned for a moment.

"Mages are too vulnerable, they'll get killed easily," Lei Su said, shaking his head.

Druids also had strong control abilities. After transforming into cheetahs, they could possess some stealth and ambush capabilities like thieves, which was always advantageous against mages. Moreover, with so many dark druids, they only had Black Hell, Big Boss Seven, and Ten Miles of Painted Gauze, three priests. Their mana burn skills simply couldn't burn through all the dark druids' mana.

"Then what should we do?"

"How about mana burn arrows? The effect is not bad."

"Mana burn arrows are so expensive, and the effect isn't obvious. They're okay against mages, but it's unrealistic to use them to drain the mana of a level 160 Lord-class monster."

"This won't work, that won't work."

Everyone discussed animatedly, but they couldn't come up with a solution.

"My Magic Nullification Domain might be useful," Dark Elegy said from the side. He was the only Guardian Knight in the team.

Everyone's attention fell on Dark Elegy. Dark Elegy and Mo Jiu had joined the Nirvana Guild later. They almost forgot that there was a Guardian Knight here. They didn't know anything about the Guardian Knight's skills.

"Magic Nullification Domain?" Nie Yan suddenly remembered that in his past life, Magic Nullification Domain was the most famous forbidden skill of Guardian Knights. It could completely freeze magical elements within a radius of 500 yards, preventing all mages from casting spells and rendering all magic ineffective. It lasted for up to an hour and had a cooldown time of thirty natural days.

"What is this skill like? Send it over so we can see," Unkillable Scoundrel and others said.

Dark Elegy shared the skill effects of Magic Nullification Domain. After everyone looked at it, they were a little surprised. What a powerful skill. No wonder it was listed as a forbidden spell.

"Magic Nullification Domain is indeed useful. It can prevent the dark druids from healing each other, but the problem also arises. Within the Magic Nullification Domain, our own mages are also crippled and cannot cast any attack magic. Without mages, we can only rely on melee units for output."

"That's right! A druid's transformation is one of their magical skills. With Magic Nullification Domain active, the druids can't transform or use auxiliary magic!" Big Boss Seven's eyes lit up. A druid who couldn't transform or use auxiliary magic would have at least 50% of their strength reduced.

"Let's use Magic Nullification Domain. I estimate I can hold back two dark druids," Shui Se Yiren said. As a top-tier profession, soloing elites and Lords was commonplace. But dealing with two level 160 Lords at the same time was a first.

"I'll hold back two as well," Lei Su thought for a moment and said.

"I can lure three," Brilliant Knife Light said. He was a Shield Warrior with high defense and thick blood.

"I'll lure one," Dark Elegy said. He was a Paladin, also an armored profession.

That was already eight. The remaining six Shadow Dancer Thieves, Sun, King of the World, Smile Not For Me, Shadow Killer, Nie Yan, and One Hammer Decides, still had combat power.

"I'll have the Golden Land Dragon and Paladin Levesque hold back the remaining two dark druids. All thieves, listen to my command," Nie Yan said. Six Shadow Dancer Thieves gathered together could use wolf pack tactics to kill the dark druids one by one.

"Okay," Sun, King of the World, and others agreed.

Nie Yan searched for some information about the Hellhounds. Hellhounds had strong magical abilities and could spew out Hellfire, scorching their opponents. They could have provided strong fire support for the dark druids, but with Dark Elegy's Magic Nullification Domain active, even the strongest magical abilities were useless. The Hellhounds had no ranged attacks and were hung on stone pillars, rendering them useless.

Nie Yan understood somewhat why Magic Nullification Domain was called the strongest forbidden skill of Guardian Knights. With Magic Nullification Domain active, even if the Archmages released forbidden spells, they would still be useless.

"Alright, listen to my command. Prepare to attack." Nie Yan arranged the tactics. Dark Elegy ran towards a nearby house, jumped onto the roof, and began to chant.

A series of incantations came from Dark Elegy's mouth. After about seven sets of syllables, a dazzling light shone from Dark Elegy, blindingly bright.

Magic Nullification Domain actually only required seven sets of syllables. If it were during normal times, they would have plenty of time to release Magic Nullification Domain even after seeing the Archmages release forbidden spells.

After Magic Nullification Domain was released, Nie Yan and the others could clearly feel that the surrounding air had become stagnant, and even the wind had stopped.

"Is it released?"

"Why can't I see anything?"

Tang Yao stretched out his right hand, palm up, wanting to condense a ball of magic, but his palm didn't react for a long time, without a trace of magical fluctuations.

"Magic Nullification Domain is in effect," Tang Yao said to Nie Yan.

"Attack!" Nie Yan said in the team chat. As soon as he finished speaking, Brilliant Knife Light, Shui Se Yiren, Lei Su, and Dark Elegy approached the five stone pillars in the center of the square from all directions.

Roar! The Hellhounds were the first to spot Brilliant Knife Light and the others. They roared frantically, opening their mouths to try to spit out Hellfire, but there was no reaction for a long time.

The Hellhounds' violent reaction quickly attracted the attention of the dark druids. Their scarlet eyes stared at Brilliant Knife Light and the others who were rushing over. They wanted to cast transformation and auxiliary skills, but they found that the skills failed. They strode towards Brilliant Knife Light and the others.

Dark Elegy discovered that none of the dark druids noticed him. He quickly took out a small crossbow from his backpack, pulled the trigger, and five arrows shot out.

Pfft pfft pfft, five arrows pierced through the leather armor of one of the dark druids. The dark druid roared and immediately charged towards Dark Elegy. Dark Elegy turned and ran.

"I pulled one," Dark Elegy said in the team chat.

"Knife Light, pull the three on the left."

"Shui Se, be careful!"

Five dark druids pounced. Shui Se Yiren lowered his body and barely passed through the gap between two dark druids. He used Whirlwind on his right hand, hitting two dark druids, and immediately ran away.

Two dark druids chased after Shui Se Yiren.

The remaining three dark druids also wanted to chase Shui Se Yiren, but Brilliant Knife Light charged over from the side, using a ram to hit them, attracting their attention. The hatred of the three dark druids immediately focused on Brilliant Knife Light.

As for Lei Su on the other side, he also attracted two dark druids.

The other two dark druids had just rushed out of the stone pillar area when they were intercepted by the Golden Land Dragon and Paladin Levesque.

"Help Elegy take down that druid first," Nie Yan said in the team chat. As soon as he finished speaking, the six thieves on the field immediately disappeared.

The dark druid waved the coarse wooden staff in his hand, constantly smashing at Dark Elegy. Dark Elegy agilely dodged around. Being able to advance to Guardian Knight, his skills were quite solid. No matter how the dark druid attacked, he could never touch him, and he could always unexpectedly inflict some damage on the dark druid.

Damage numbers of over 10,000 floated above the dark druid's head.

"This guy's defense is much lower than Ghost Princess Ina's, and his health is only three million," Dark Elegy said. As expected, a druid without transformation, auxiliary skills, and healing was very crippled. Compared to other level 160 Lords, he was fragile to death.

Figures appeared around the dark druid, and they agilely dodged the dark druid's attacks.

Nie Yan went behind the dark druid and Backstabbed him.

With a bang, the dark druid fell into a crippled state. The level 18 Backstab had a good effect, crippling for 5 seconds.

"Don't let him wake up!" Nie Yan looked at the skill bar. He had quite a few control skills. Coordinating with Sun, King of the World, and the others, they should be able to stun him to death.

The control skills of Shadow Dancer Thieves could already have control effects on Lord-class creatures.

The dark druid recovered from the crippled state. Before he could make any move, Sun delivered a heavy elbow strike, attacking the dark druid's spine and causing him to fall into a crippled state again.

Damage numbers floated above the dark druid's head. Sun, King of the World, Dark Elegy, and the others could all deal around 10,000 damage to him, with critical hits dealing around 30,000 to 40,000. Nie Yan's normal attacks could deal around 20,000 to 30,000 damage, with a critical hit dealing over 200,000.

The dark druid only had three million health, so he seemed very fragile. His health dropped bit by bit. After about thirty seconds, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Nie Yan picked up the items dropped by the dark druid. It was a purple crystal.

Seeing this crystal, Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat. It was actually a Mutated Energy Crystal!

After so long, he finally got his second Mutated Energy Crystal, and it was purple, with better quality than the previous one.
