Chapter 100: Dakki the Dancer

Dakki was also a decisive person; she wouldn’t have been able to thrive in Empyreon if she wasn’t. She quickly disbanded her squad, and Drako Yau added them into his one by one.

Dungeon squads were limited to five players, while squads in the wilderness could accommodate up to 25 players. As such, they were well below the squad limit with just 13 players after joining hands.

It was just as Drako Yau and his squad had surmised. Apart from fire damage, Nin was immune to anything else. As such, Idyllic Poet and the other two elementalists were their only damage dealers. The two elementalists from Allurers were also beauties; the guild was known for having the most nice-looking girls. And when pretty girls gathered, so did men.

The two elementalists both gave it their all. They wanted to let the outsider know how powerful Allurers were.

When they had been observing from afar a while back, they had been focusing on the gigantic Nin, and it was only now that they paid attention to Idyllic Poet. Magic never ceased to fire from her wand as she downed potion after potion. She was casting fire spells one after another continuously: Fireball, Rain of Fire, Flaming Phoenix…

Especially Fireball—the low-tiered spell was being cast as if it was her basic attack. In terms of DPS, Idyllic Poet easily topped the table. No matter how hard the other two girls tried, the difference in damage dealt only continued to go up.

As the guild master of Allurers, Dakki didn’t have the leisure to care about the two depressed mages because she had to make her move as well. It would be too much to sit on the sidelines during the boss fight and earn the title for free. It would hurt her conscience even if Drako Yau didn’t mind. Some might call it a fool’s fixation, but it was also the reason why Dakki was able to achieve success—she never found excuses for herself.

Ding…

The sounds of a bell ringing could be heard.

Somewhat surprised, Drako Yau turned to look at Dakki. Despite the mask concealing his face, Dakki could read his mind, which was a very satisfying feat for her. It was no easy task to surprise the man who seemed to have a grasp over any and everything. (Hades fully agreed with her.) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Feeling Drako Yau’s gaze, Dakki didn’t stop what she was doing and sent him a bewitching smile. Even though Dakki was already 28 years old, she had maintained her body to keep it in peak condition, and with how innately delicate and alluring she was, she almost looked like an eighteen-year-old. The breathtaking smile she made was enough to startle Drako Yau who had a heart of steel, albeit for a brief moment only. Idyllic Poet who was busy firing off spells rolled her eyes and sent a somewhat hateful glare at Dakki.

Dakki extended her delicate arm, the light fabric veiling her arms fluttering as she did. On the end of her sleeve was a golden bell which gradually rang louder.

Dakki suddenly started dancing. Along with her enchanting moves, a purple aura spread out like a ripple from around her. Everyone within range of the aura were shrouded in a thin layer of purple, though they didn’t pay much attention to it.

Once the dance was over, Dakki let out a small sigh and smiled brightly at Drako Yau. ‘This is my skill—Dance of Magic. It can increase ally magic damage by 10 per cent, helps out a bit with our damage output, right?’

Drako Yau listened seriously to what she had to say and nodded. ‘Of course. Your class… is a hidden class?’

Dakki giggled without denying, then said, ‘Hidden class, Dancer. I cast my skills through dancing, which provide a regional buff to players within range.’

It was a simple explanation, but it was enough to make Drako Yau take in a deep breath in secret. On the surface, it appeared to be a purely supportive class, but what if she engaged in guild or even city-wide battles?

Putting aside her skill’s wide effective range, if she had been on the walls of Yoda during the siege and gave the ranged players a 10 per cent buff… It was so powerful that it was almost beyond imagination.

Dakki was a bit amazed that Drako Yau went silent. The man had immediately seen through her class’ potential.

Briefly after, Drako Yau said, ‘That’s great.’

He then turned around and continued to oversee the ongoing battle, as if knowing how powerful Dakki’s hidden class was hadn’t affected him in the slightest. This only served to heighten Dakki’s evaluation of him.

Strong underlings, a formidable fighter, and a strong mind… I cannot underestimate this man…

With Allurers joining the fight, their task of slaying the Nin was plain sailing. They weren’t pushing themselves to their limits anymore either. Drako Yau was overwhelmingly strong in combat, but with just the five of them facing a boss meant for a hundred players, they were really forcing it.

Now that the players from Allurers were taking on the role of containing the boss, Drako Yau assumed the role of a relief member and only made a move whenever a gap appeared in their lines.

‘Grrr!’ Nin roared. The massive tree in its hand now used as a javelin, it hurled it at one of Allurers’ elementalists like a rocket.

‘Crap!’

Drako Yau didn’t intervene to avoid messing up their defensive plans, similar to how he left everything to Hades when it came to Evergrand players during the siege.

The elementalists were protected by three melee players, but with the seemingly unstoppable tree drilling straight in their way, the player who took the very front turned pale.

In fact, Idyllic Poet was the one who received the most attacks due to her DPS being the highest among everyone else, though Zephyrwolf and the demon wolf king also faithfully carried out their duties. Still, Nin also attacked anyone who damaged it from time to time. The wild boss’ attacks were devastating enough to shock even the elite of Allurers.

A brawny silhouette descended from above and landed in front of the warrior and elementalist, then clamped its crystalised arms onto the massive tree. It was the fire crystal giant summoned by Drako Yau.

But such a devastating attack wasn’t going to be blocked by a mere summoned giant. The fire crystal giant did its best to resist as it was pushed backwards while its feet drew two long dents on the ground.

Finally, as though the giant had expended all its strength, its palms loosened and the tree punctured its torso. It then dispersed into thin air as white particles. Luckily, the tree had also lost all its momentum and dropped to the ground, right in front of the two Allurers members. Seeing the heavy tree and the two long trails on the ground, they couldn’t help but gulp.

Dakki who was situated on the sidelines also patted her chest in relief, though no one had the leisure to witness the wonderful sight of her action.

It was only then did the players from Allurers realise what the five people had been up against for a whole 15 minutes. Every single attack from Nin was basically undefendable.

Just who on earth are they?
