Chapter 53: Despair

A moment of silence occurred, with almost everyone gazing at Autumn Breeze, mainly because she had to ask if the boss could do anything else other than roaring and the boss proceeded to summon lava golems to his command.

The timing of such an incident couldn't be any worse for Autumn Breeze, as they now believed she was a jinx.

"T-there's no way the boss reacted because of my question, right?" She smiled awkwardly.

It was clearly not her intention to try to make the raid any more difficult than it already was.

Luckily, Gentle Wind sighed softly and turned to Xu Feng, "You aren't going to help her out?"

Since he had mentioned it earlier that the boss would undergo a final struggle, she had a reasonable suspicion to believe he knew this would have happened.

"Heh, you all can stop gazing at Autumn Breeze like this. Regardless if she asked such a question or not, the boss would still proceed to summon lava golems to assist it." Xu Feng calmly explained.

With his credibility now, they finally stopped their gaze on Autumn Breeze.

Meanwhile, she looked somewhat aggrieved toward Xu Feng. "If you knew it would happen, then why did you make it seem like I was a jinx?"

After all, it was due to his statement that caused everyone's attention to be directed at her.

"My bad, I just wanted to test something. I supposed we're even now, okay?" Xu Feng scratched his head, referring to the time when she repeatedly judged and labeled him as a fraud.

Although it still left a bittersweet taste in her mouth, Autumn Breeze could only brush past the matter and not try to argue.

Of course, Xu Feng didn't do this merely to tease Autumn Breeze, but he was waiting patiently for that person to make a move.

And sure enough, during the time when everyone's attention was focused on Autumn Breeze, that person made a move, confirming his earlier suspicions.

'Well, at least that's another headache gone.' He thought to himself, proceeding to instruct others on how to deal with the ongoing incident.

"Follow the previous arrangement and split into your respective team. No one is to focus on the lava golems. Tanks, you are to simply deflect them but don't waste any effort on it." Xu Feng commanded, astonishing the rest.

"You have got to be kidding me?"

"Is this seriously how all Hell Mode difficulty is going to be?"

"Just how are we supposed to complete the raid when the difficulty is insanely crazy?"

Gentle Wind's guild members started to despair at these abrupt changes.

Despite pouring so much effort and sweat into this, they started to lose hope of winning.

At first, they wanted to blame Xu Feng's misjudgment for telling them to ignore the lava golems from the start, but their rationality prevented them.

After all, regardless if they were to target the lava golems from the start or not, there would still be many leftovers anyway.

"No need to despair because this isn't even the finale yet." Xu Feng suddenly announced, garnering every attention upon him.

"It's your show time, Gentle Wind." He snapped his fingers and said.

"I've been ready!" Gentle Wind sneered as she unleashed her most powerful and mana-consuming spell.

However, what caused everyone to be astonished was the fact that her spell was targeting neither the Inferno Tyrant nor the lava golems.

"Why is the guild leader aiming at a wall?"

"My eyes must be blind... yeah, that should be it."

Disbelief colored their eyes as none of them believed their guild leader would miss so horrendously.

Just when everyone was wondering what the hell was going on, the wall that received the impact of the spells cracked open, and soon a familiar voice echoed in the arena.

"I'm still alive!"
