“As a weak guild, we’re severely outmatched. This is our only chance to shake Sword Sweeping the World!”
Yingning drew her long sword with a sharp clang.
“Screw Sword Sweeping the World!”
Huo Jinjin raised his staff excitedly.
“Down with their father too!”
Cannon Fairy made the same gesture.
“Let’s move!”
Qingyu’s voice rang with righteous fervor.
Yingning’s expression grew solemn, and she shot me a questioning glance.
“Go!”
At my command, Yingning and Qingyu transformed into two streaks of light, charging straight toward the half-human, half-demon Spider Queen at the center of the instance.
The upper body of the Spider Queen was a black-haired, nude woman, while her lower half consisted of eight razor-sharp spider legs. She was massive, but still far smaller than the Red Water Dragon—only about a third of its size.
“Stay sharp and listen to my orders! When I say jump, you jump. When I say heavy drop, you heavy drop. React quickly! This boss has zero margin for error!”

“Exorcism potions that can add holy attribute attacks to weapons are rare. We only have one shot. Succeed or die. Understand?”
Jiangu’s sharp sword-like brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze burned with battle intent, lending an air of solemn slaughter.
“Understood!”
“No more talk. Let’s move!”
*****
[Tank holds aggro, four priests go all out on DPS. I won’t participate in this fight. You must complete the mission! Understand!]
Dong Jun’s voice was indifferent, but the fighting spirit in his tone was no less fierce.
[Understood!]
The four priests replied in unison.
[Then, the strongest priest group in all of Ader continent, let’s go!]
With Dong Jun’s command, Ten Thousand Souls Hall also threw themselves into this race against time.
*****
At the respawn point outside Fuzhou City, a group of seemingly forgotten players gathered. On their chests hung uniquely designed small guild badges.
A steel-colored pistol crossed with a blood-red rose, delicate yet unyielding, with a line of small text beneath it:
Gunfire Rose.
Around the respawn point, another group of players encircled them, their faces mocking and eyes unfriendly. Their guild badges were completely different from those inside the respawn point.
It was a huge, ancient sword, as if left over from the age of desolation, engraved with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, plants, and farming. It stood upright, cracking the earth beneath it. Just one look conveyed the sword’s ambition: to sweep across the world and settle all with a single strike.
The shouting match between the two sides continued unabated, but the Gunfire Rose members inside the respawn point were clearly losing ground.
“Your guild leader has already forgotten you!”
“Haha, a small guild is still a small guild. What can you do? Not convinced? Come out and fight! You don’t have the guts!”
“A bunch of idiots! Weakness is the original sin! Haven’t you learned this simple truth after all these years? Can pride fill your stomach?”
Even though Sword Sweeping the World’s words cut deep, and their morale was low, the Gunfire Rose members refused to back down.
“Come on then! If you’ve got the balls, come into the safe zone and kill us, you scumbags!”
“Just wild dogs bullying the weak! Our guild leader can call our names! Can your Jiangu do that?”
“Blah blah blah, you never shut up. Come in and kill me then, haha!”
But no matter how they retorted, the fact remained that Gunfire Rose was trapped in the respawn point.
Trapped in the respawn point. That was the undeniable truth.
“The guild leader told us to gather at the Fuzhou City respawn point and wait for her… What does she plan?” someone asked.
No one answered, because no one knew.
Nor did anyone believe that Yingning could truly rescue them.
After all, their opponent was Sword Sweeping the World… Crushing their small guild was far too easy for them…
The victor is king, the loser a bandit.
A few days later… who would even remember Gunfire Rose’s reckless, suicidal attack? …
“The difficulty of the Spider Queen boss lies in its absurdly high attack and defense, and its diverse attack methods. As far as we’ve discovered, it has at least five different types, each requiring a specific counter!”
Since most of my damage abilities were nearly useless against the Spider Queen, I didn’t waste mana. Aside from throwing out a Holy Smite as soon as it came off cooldown, I focused on monitoring the team’s health and replenishing buffs.
Of course, more importantly, I had to act as a qualified commander.
“When the boss enters the 90% HP phase, follow my command. The moment I shout ‘Jump,’ you must immediately interrupt your current skill and force a jump! Stay alert—it’s already at 93%!”
The Spider Queen had a whopping ten million HP!
Ten million health points! Absolutely terrifying! Due to damage reduction from attributes, even if the whole team were DPS, it would take about an hour to grind her down!
This would be a war of attrition!
“It’s about to hit 90%! Listen up, we absolutely have to jump over this wave! No one should be greedy for damage or slow to react. If anyone fails to dodge, the Spider Queen will wrap them up and poison them to death! There’s no chance of survival! We’ll have to start over!”
If we had to start over, it would be nearly impossible to catch up with the elite players of guilds like Sword Sweeping the World.
“Everyone attention! Ready—jump!”
Everyone—tank, DPS, and healers alike—immediately leaped as high as they could.
Fortunately, no one made a mistake.
Without warning, countless sticky strands sprayed out, covering the entire battlefield in all directions. Then they suddenly retracted, drawing all the silk to the boss’s mouth, followed by a blast of venom.
But it caught nothing.
“Good, we’ve entered the second phase! The boss won’t make any big moves until 85% HP, so you can go all out for five minutes.”
We had survived the first wave. That meant Huo Jinjin, who just joined, had enough IQ and reaction speed—at least he could follow the team’s commands.
As for the others, I was confident based on our previous cooperation.
The battle was tense. No one spoke; everyone was focused on waiting for my commands.
“Now, for the third phase. When the boss’s HP hits 85%, the main tank pulls her to the center of the arena. Everyone else stands at the edge, at least fifty meters away from the boss!”
“The boss will instantly kill all players within fifty meters. So in the last second before she enters that state, the main tank must use Charge to escape her skill range… In short, this requires extremely high skill from the main tank! The rest of you can take a short break to relax. But the main tank must stay alert at all times! Got it?”
“Got it!” Yingning replied.
“Alright, now pull her to the center! Ready… fall back!”
The battle entered its third phase.
