Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1423: Sunrise Inner City Part 40

When the group realized the illusion they had fallen into was merely a trivial hurdle, their faces turned pale.

Thai was especially true to the one who failed to pass their own illusion.

”Don’t worry, there won’t be any illusion trapping the boss. It’s just that the musical instrument might cause you to move irregularly if your mental concentration is low.” Xu Feng promptly clarified the situation, lest they might die from their own imagination.

”Ah, is that how the other 12 dancers were chosen?” Carmen suddenly clasped her hands. She realized the 12 dancers chosen for the mechanism were all players who passed the illusion test.

In other words, these 12 had high mental concentration to avoid the situation of being moved irregularly.

”Mhmm,” he nodded his head.

Truth be told, there were other dancers who were superior.

However, they weren’t chosen because Xu Feng could tell their mental concentration wasn’t adequate to withstand the musical instrument.

”Anyway, the 12 dancers should wear something with high resistance. During the dance mechanism phase, one mistake will wipe the entire team.” He stepped forward and instructed them.

”If you lack the resistance items, then tell me now. I’ll lend you some gears.”

Sure enough, there were a few who raised their hands. They lacked certain equipment to complete their set pieces.

A few minutes later, Xu Feng finished supplying them with new equipment.

”Any more questions?” He asked.

When there was no one raising their hands, Xu Feng nodded and pointed at the boss’s entrance.

In the blink of an eye, multiple tanks rushed ahead to push open the door.

As soon as the door made a small creaking sound, leaking out some air from within, the music notes intensified.

Oalala~

Shuala~

Different types of musical instruments were played at the same time and exposed to the group.

”AHHH!” A DPS who didn’t have a high resistance screamed in agony. The music note had directly taken over 30% of their health points in one go.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng’s expression remained indifferent. He swiftly wielded his Convergence Staff and covered the group in a transparent dome-like shield.

The shield was repeatedly bombarded by the music notes, causing some tremors.

But other than some tremor and vibration, the shield remained perfectly intact.

Though the group no longer took damage, Xu Feng’s mana was continuously drained from keeping the shield active.

”Specialist class, go and take down the musical instruments scattered on the corners as soon as we all enter!” He instructed loudly.

”Yes, Guild Leader!”

”Good thing I’ve raised my resistance by sacrificing some speed!”

Despite the commentary, many began to resist the musical instrument from dampening their movement. Since they had experienced similar events in the illusion, it wasn’t that difficult to resist.

As the group entered the boss’s room, the Specialists all got to work to eliminate the musical instrument being played across the area.

In the meantime, Carmen and the other Summoners began to summon their Elementalists to distract the minions.

These minions were formed through music notes and carried sound waves.

The waves themselves seemed to have an effect of putting people in an illusion if they weren’t guarded properly.

”Hmph, I’ve witnessed hell during the illusion. Never again!”

”I was actually thrilled to kill some of my teammates, but then some are just way too diabolical!”

It was clear that their resentment was quite high toward these musical notes minions.

”Ahem, venting is fine. But make sure not to stray too far from the group.” Xu Feng gently reminded them. Truth be told, he was also using the illusion in the past timeline to thrash some of the hateful people.

It was only human to have some people you despised. After all, they weren’t saints and could be benevolent to everyone.

Sometime later, the music notes minions were dealt with, and the musical instruments were also destroyed.

And it was at that moment that a mighty figure in the center finally opened its eyes. Their hands were holding a zither and exuded an elegant yet majestic aura.

The cape behind them started to flutter around as the atmosphere gradually descended to a chilling vibe.

”The boss is awakening.” Xu Feng softly warned. Though it wasn’t quite necessary when the system prompt popped up for everyone to see.

[System Notification: The Dancing Zither Envoy has been awakened. Please listen carefully to its music and dance appropriately to avoid triggering dancism!]

What was dancism?

It was basically a new term stating that players would be forced to dance till their death.

Yes, their body would be forcefully controlled by the boss, incapable of moving unless they had a break free skill.

However, to use the break free skill, one must capture the timing well.

Sure enough, the group got a chill at this new term called dancism.

To dance till your death... probably only fanatics or those deep into dancing would enjoy it.

”Alright, that’s enough pep talk. Tanks, start gathering the aggro! DPS, do not greed for damage and stay within the protection range. Unless specified otherwise, you can just fend for yourself if you detach from the group.” Xu Feng placed a heavy emphasis on the greedy DPS, who had been draining the team.

These DPS could have stayed still and output good damage. But to strive for the top to earn a bigger GMP, they place the group at risk by straying off to deal AoE damage on a window of opportunity.

Such behavior was very common in top guilds because these DPS are usually those with connections, so nobody could say anything.

However, that common shall become extinct within his Vanguard Guild.

If he wanted individual strength, then why bother creating a guild in the first place?

Sure, he was also interested in talented and strong players, but that was under the consensus that they were willing to work with the team.

”Healers, continue what you’re doing. I’m proud of you all.” After criticizing the DPS, Xu Feng praised and complimented the healers for doing their best.
