Li Yao activated the Dark Ranger’s effect, which cloaked him in a fog of darkness and significantly increased his movement speed.

Engaging Rapid Shooting, each Shadow Roll allowed him to dodge the Mage’s skills.

At this stage, the spells of any Mage—Arcane missiles, fireballs, or ice arrows—are no more than variations of these skills.

The battlefield was in chaos, with some Mages casting area-of-effect spells, causing disorder in the entire courtyard.

After each Shadow Roll, Li Yao would shoot a Death Black Arrow and a regular one.

Every Shadow Roll guaranteed that a Mage would be marked by a Death Black Arrow, soon to have an arrow piercing their throat.

With Li Yao’s attack strength, those with high defenses could endure for a while, but lighter armored classes would be doomed once they were hit in vital areas.

“This is the true power of Prairie Fire, so terrifying.”

Not only was it obvious to Oz, but all the audience saw what it means to kill with every step, claiming one head after another.

No Mage targeted by Li Yao could dodge his arrows. It was as if the arrows had eyes, as they could predict every single move the Mages took, rendering their dodging useless.

The first arrow marked the target with the Death Black Arrow, causing moderate damage, then the second arrow killed instantly by striking a vital spot.

Thud…

Thud…

Thud…

Thud…

After each Shadow Roll performed by Li Yao, a Mage’s body would explode, with their arm, glowing with magic, forming a skeleton that would rise to join the battlefield.

These skeletons’ arms were either enveloped in a red flame glow, covered by a blue ice weapon, or basked in a pale blue Arcane glow.

These skeletons could cast the spells of the living: Fireballs, Ice Arrows, Arcane Missiles, and even powerful spells like Rain of Fire and blizzards.

The players suddenly realized that other than the initial bombardment by dozens of Mages, which left Prairie Fire somewhat in discomfort, the situation was starting to turn around.

“The Dark Ranger… is this the power of the Dark Ranger? Indeed, a fitting legacy from the Dark Lady.” KB was equally astounded.

“I thought his strongest suit was one-on-one combat or using tools. I didn’t expect his true strength to lie in group battles. The more you fail to kill him right from the start, the more Undead Servants he’ll gather,” Oz analyzed.

KB drew a deep breath and said, “Moreover, did you notice? Although the skeletons use the same spells as when they were alive, their power is much stronger. This only proves one thing: these skeletons are either elites or silver elites.”

“If all of our analyses are correct, this implies that if you can’t kill him in one shot at the beginning, he’ll become increasingly hard to deal with,” Oz said perceptively.

“Wanting to kill him in one shot, what a joke! The bombardment of over twenty Mages didn’t even get him. What else can we say? How could there be such a monster? It’s terrifying to the extreme. Every time we think he’s at his wit’s end, he always manages to turn the tables unexpectedly. This time, Boss Gu has really run into a tough opponent.”

Hearing the two commentators’ analysis, all the audience drew a cold breath. If they were elites, it would already be terrifying, let alone silver elites – it’s unimaginable.

In such a short time, while they hadn’t even had a chance to react, about ten Mage skeletons and four other class skeletons had already gathered around Li Yao, equivalent to an entire team’s fighting power.

The audience’s hearts were in their mouths. They believed that this time Li Yao was doomed.

After all, there were so many elite classes. Even though several had sacrificed themselves, they finally broke through the defense of a single man, Li Yao.

Over twenty Mages bombing simultaneously was simply explosive, as elite players continuously rushed in through the gaps.

However, the reality once again defied their expectations, Li Yao didn’t die. Instead, he steadily held his ground, the combined power of ten or so silver elites was simply terrifying.

The entire courtyard was engulfed by a barrage of spells.

“Quick, even if he has skeletons, he can’t hold out for long with so many of us.”

Gu Cheng’s face was also not looking good, but that was just on the surface. Having known Li Yao’s methods, how could he not know that Li Yao could summon skeletons from the dead?

“Boss, we…” Moon Bright Star Rare hinted.

“Just follow my command. Wait. If he could die so easily, why would we need to bother so much?” Gu Cheng whispered.

“Boss, you mean he still has a trump card?” Moon Bright Star Rare caught a hidden meaning.

Gu Cheng gave Moon Bright Star Rare a bland look and said, “Do you think Prairie Fire is a fool?”

“Is he?” Moon Bright Star Rare was puzzled.

“Since he’s not, do you think he would dare guard here alone without a backup plan? You should use your brain more like I told you to. Otherwise, you’ll still be counting money for others even after they’ve sold you!” Gu Cheng said irritably.

“Isn’t there you, Boss? You tell me what to do and I will follow.”

“You…” Gu Cheng shook his head, stopped speaking, and gazed at the situation inside, silent.

With the skeletons as a shield, Li Yao became more brazen. If he dodged the attacks, he would have to be more cautious, but sheltered behind the skeletons, apart from the spells from the sky, the straight-line spells could hardly ever hit him.

On the other hand, Li Yao could keep attacking without any worries. His attack was terrifying, and combined with the Death Black Arrow, two arrows were enough to kill fragile opponents. Warriors couldn’t wear plate armor yet, so including the Death Black Arrow, it would only take three arrows to kill a heavy armor class.

As Li Yao continued his assault, more melee skeletons joined him, making his frontline even more steadfast.

However, the elite players had blood in their eyes. This battle had become more than just about winning the Angel’s Wing.

It was now a matter of their pride. They knew that Li Yao was the focal point of all attention, broadcasted live on the main screen. If they were to back down now, it would be utterly humiliating.

Suddenly, Li Yao spotted a player cloaked in a cape just as he was about to attack and heard,

“Elder brother, it’s us.”

With a dopey look in her eyes, Dumb Girl took off her hood, then a Lava Eruption sent the player who blocked their way stumbling backwards.

“Damn it, what are you doing?” the elite player cursed as he turned around in anger.

“Killing you.” Da Vinci strummed a beautiful note which transformed into light and entered the player’s body, causing him to freeze in place.

“Die.” The attacks of Feng Yi’s Bone Spear and Sister Li’s Ice Arrow followed in rapid succession.

The player, having taken a Lava Eruption already, fell to the ground after enduring the assault from those three.

“Be careful everyone, there are traitors.” A nearby elite player shouted, but seeing the formidable lineup of this small team, he sensibly stepped aside.

The group converged with Li Yao, just as an increasing number of players flooded into the courtyard, pushing the battle into a frenzied state…
