All the members of Team 1 Elite Party looked at Li Yi with their jaws dropped. It did not cross anyone's mind that Li Yi would apologize at a time like this.

" for visiting.

Li Yi had to turn his head away every few times but Jiaojiao could go on slicing because of the scroll.

"Golden Defense Scroll. What a wasteful b*tch to use it here. I outta pinch your boobies..."

Li Yi's face was twitching looking at Jiaojiao's current state.

[Golden Defense Scroll: Increase 200000 points on double defense upon usage. Immune to any negative state for an hour.]

The present Jiaojiao had transformed into an invincible paladin, slicing away at the Four Roaches tirelessly...

Jiaojiao said, "Humph, what do you know? This thing has a time limit. It'll be gone after an hour. It'll be a waste not to use it."

"Those with DPS go full on. Main tanks, please be prepared. Time to switch target!" Pretty Good Mood yelled.

Szh!

The four main tanks changed their targets uniformly, eliminating the Holy Light Rupture effect on them.

The Four Roaches' Holy Light Impact had ended, and their aggro was once again attracted by the main tanks, effectively lifting the pressure off the party. The healers did a couple of group heal once in a while to heighten the overall bloodline of the party. 

The Four Roaches' Retribution Aura was maintained throughout the entire battle, so the healers must step up their game as well.

The Four Roaches' HP was steadily decreasing. It went from 100% to 65%. Another switch of main tanks would have put it at 50%.

50%! The party was wiped out several times at this segment...

"Caution! Everyone, caution!"

Pretty Good Mood's tone went up several octaves. He would be lying if he said he was not nervous about this. They had been stuck at this segment for far too many times.

After another change of main tanks, and the stage where they normally would TPK was looming over them.

The Four Roaches raised their swords and ran up to the platform. They stood together and unleashed a super powerful Holy Light Impact...

Holy Light Impact's range of attack covered more than half the site. The force was 8 times the previous one!

Holy Light Impact continued its assault, and the Four Roaches raised their swords then to release the attack on designated areas.

The 200-men party was currently concentrated in a corner.

"Tremble in fear, for Holy Light will cleanse you of your sins!"

The Four Roaches shouted as their swords glimmered in sparkling Holy Light. A pale ring of light appeared beneath the feet of all party members.

"Run twenty steps to the right!" ordered Pretty Good Mood.

All 200 of them evaded to the right. 199 of them managed to run over in time. Pretty Good Mood was too nervous, so he was a step too slow. Holy Light Impact was launched, and Pretty Good Mood fell to the ground instantly...

"Continue with twenty steps to the left. Take twenty steps to the right 3 seconds later," Pretty Good Mood yelled while lying on the ground.

With a dull ring of light appearing under their feet, the remaining 199 members followed through with Pretty Good Mood's instructions to the appointed location. They counted to 3 in silence before running back.

Holy Light Impact was whamming down non-stop and at an accelerated tempo. The party members emotions were strung up. They adhered to Pretty Good Mood's commands, running back and forth in a group.

Seventeen members died in the blink of an eye!

Szh! Szh! Szh!

When all the party members were focused solely on running to the instructed position and had no time to attack, Li Yi drew his Orange Quality Bow back and persisted in his attacks.

Truth be told, he had not stopped his attacks since the beginning of the battle.

Jiaojiao lugged her greatsword and gritted her teeth in anger. She was of melee class, so this battle of moving around back and forth was taking a toll on her...

Apart from Pretty Good Mood, no one in the party spoke a word. This segment was fairly difficult. Not one mistake could be tolerated.

"Twenty steps to the left, twenty steps to the right, another twenty steps to the left, and twenty steps to the left again..."

Pretty Good Mood was yelling at the top of his lungs lying on the ground. There was no error to his instructions whatsoever!

More and more people fell. As the tempo was at its fastest, no one except for Li Yi dared to persist on their attacks...

They could barely keep up with their two feet.

This segment went on for another 8 minutes before the Four Roaches stopped the attack, resuming to their normal state.

The death count of the party was 47!

They had passed the hardest 50% segment!
