The party regrouped and the female Dwarf was still in charge. However, this time, there was a change in her commands.
“All ranged classes to adjust to full attack mode.
“If boss calls upon a name, immediately kill that person.”
Everybody burst into an uproar.
The attack continued occupying the Human Wave Tactical Strategy. Barren Lord’s HP once again dropped and once it was less than half, it started to utilize Life Engulfment.
“Undead Yet Late, I want to capture you and absorb your life essence, hahahaha…”
Barren Lord pointed and instantly the player named Undead Yet Late was paralyzed.
“Kill!”
Countless magic arrows flew, successfully killing Undead Yet Late before Barren Lord could.
“Horrid fellow!” Barren Lord bellowed as it fell into a brief Submissive state.
This was the punishment for failure in executing Life Engulfment.
“Fight, with all your might!”
Barren Lord had fallen into a Submissive state for ten seconds that cost him 500000 HP.
“Feel the wrath of Barren Lord!”
Barren Lord stood where it was and spiked up its energy.
Seeing that everyone was retreating, the female Dwarf commander yelled, “Do not retreat!
“This skill is effective in over 500-yard radius so it’s unavoidable.
“Start jumping, everyone.
“Don’t stop and just keep jumping.”
The surface-quaking skill began and everyone started to leap, reducing the sustained quake damage to the minimum.
This horrifying technique that could wipe out an entire party only caused the death of five. This instantly boosted everyone’s morale.
“Everyone to positions.
“Do not stay in one spot.
“Run in circles and attack.
“Those dead, be swift in running to your corpses.
“Those whose data does not pass after this boss battle will be downgraded to a backup party.”
The number of deaths lessened while the resurrection numbers were picking up. Under the correct commands of the female Dwarf, Barren Lord’s skills became ineffective. Its HP dropped at a rapid rate, 7804… 6520… 5323…
Everyone went berserk and started to hit Barren Lord with their most powerful skills. The person whose last hit took down the boss would not only receive double EXP, but he would also obtain more rewards. So it could be said that after a long battle, it all came to this one last hit.
“Wham! Wham!”
Two black Feathered Arrows shot over and accurately struck Barren Lord, reducing its HP to zilch.
“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”
Stuttering Orc Thief’s body leaped high in the air and was prepared to give Barren Lord that one last hit. Alas, he missed the opportunity for the last strike.
The glorious system spamming has begun.

…
A few hundred system notifications spammed the screen for over ten minutes, shocking everyone.
The current regular level was around 20 and even the extreme level grinder, Old Li Flying Dagger was at Level 27 and a half. To successfully kill a Level 35 boss at such a level, albeit a large-sized party, it still created a great stir.
“Where’s Dark Wing who last shot Barren Lord dead? Is he from our guild? Why haven’t I seen him?” Heartless Fish suddenly let out a yelp.
“Yeah, who is Dark Wing?”
There was a commotion.
“Shut up and listen to me.”
Female Dwarf commander, Shangguan Bailu yelled and had the crowd quiet down.
“Dark Wing is a friend I’ve invited.
“He has long joined the battle, it’s just that you hadn’t paid attention.
“If you were to check DPS rankings, you’ll be able to see him.”
Someone went and managed to check it out. Dark Wing’s DPS ranking was at 378. He placed neither high nor low, just right at the middle.
“How did we end up inviting him at the last moment?” Heartless Fish was puzzled.
“Yeah, it’s really out of the blue,” Another displayed dissatisfaction.
Dark Wing’s last hit on the boss earned him 2 Skill Points. Shangguan Bailu as a leader only obtained 1 Skill Point and because of this, many were left with a bad taste in their mouth.
“Step back, I’ll loot the boss.”
Shangguan Bailu did not bother to explain anything. She took one glance at Li Yi’s hiding spot and walked up to the boss.
There were things that she could not mention. Honestly speaking, if it were not for Li Yi messaging her with remote commands, even if the number of their party members were doubled, they could never take down the boss.
And just as Shangguan Bailu was about to give up, Li Yi PM-ed her.
“How did you know my name?” Shangguan Bailu was surprised as her name was kept hidden.
“I know your guild master, Flower Underpants.
“Er, you don’t need to bother asking about me.
“Brother Underpants would have forgotten about a small fry like me.”
After a simple introduction, Li Yi informed Shangguan Bailu on how to defeat Barren Lord.
“Is this for real?
“Why are you telling me this?
“What do you want?”
“Add me to the party.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it…”
After the above exchange took place, Shangguan Bailu made the decision to follow through the way taught by Li Yi and successfully took down Barren Lord.
Only, this conversation could only be known to her and no one else.
How could a commander of Dream Guild’s second main party rely on a stranger’s remote instructions to take down a boss? If this was to spread, how could she as a commander, command anyone?
Li Yi took no heed of the equipment dropped by a Level 35 world boss. Shangguan Bailu could not comprehend this and was puzzled. But if she were to realize that they would not be able to use equipment dropped by the Level 35 boss, she would understand Li Yi.
After joining a party and striking the last hit, what was the point of taking equipment that could not be used? Based on his eight-year gaming experience in his past life, there were no worries in seeking equipment once one reached that level.
“Why are you helping us?” Shangguan Bailu could not help but ask.
“I was once… Er, Dream Guild has always been a place I yearned for.
“I will help about when I see my leader and my party…” Li Yi gave a vague answer.
Of course, he could never tell Shangguan Bailu.
‘I was hunted by Dark Empire in the past life and sought refuge in your guild to take care of this trouble.
‘But it wasn’t long when your guild almost split up due to my lies.
‘I told you how to play the boss out of guilt…
‘Could… This be exposed?
‘Absolutely not…’
