Finally, the purple lightning pillar gradually withdrew.

[System Notification: Congratulations for defeating the Heroic Spirit Knight.]

The originally enthusiastic team was now left with blank expressions.

Clutch King’s legs wobbled as he knelt on the ground. He looked around, and indeed, there was no trace of Snow Chaser. Clutch King lowered his head in dismay knowing that he failed his teammate. He propped his hands on the ground and knelt on the ground crying as his body shook.

They had clearly won, but there was not the slightest joy of victory in anyone’s hearts whatsoever.

Winnie had witnessed everything, and she never expected it to end like this.

She wanted to comfort Clutch King who had been fighting hard with Li Yi in front, but she did not know what to say. She knew that she was the burdensome one in the team, and she felt like it should have been her who should have sacrificed herself.

However, now, she, who had not contributed anything from the beginning to the end, had survived, while Snow Chaser, who had contributed the most, was no longer here.

This time, players who die in the dungeon would drop by two levels in a row. This was also the reason why very few people challenged nightmare mode dungeons. Other dungeons would at most lose one level, but nightmare dungeons were different. The rewards were rich, but the punishments were just as severe.

Li Yi looked at the number of players who had survived. There were only two or three Healers, two Mages, two Warriors, and Sun Conqueror.

All the Tankers had sacrificed their lives to protect those behind them.

Before everything blew over, Sun Conqueror had actually discovered this mechanism. He wanted to rush forward, but he was pulled back by his teammates. In the end, all the Guardian Warriors sacrificed themselves to push the team forward to victory.

At this time, a stone staircase that they had never seen before appeared in a corner of the ground. It seemed to lead to the next checkpoint. Everyone was exhausted, and there were not many people left.

They knew that the next boss would be even more powerful and they no longer had the courage to challenge it.

However, if they do not move forward, would they just be putting the sacrifices of their members to waste?

Sun Conqueror walked up to Li Yi and asked, “Hey, don’t blame yourself. We didn’t think it would be like this.”

At that moment, Li Yi lowered his head and did not respond. Clutch King overheard the conversation and could not help but ask.

“You knew about this mechanism… right from the beginning, isn’t it?!”

“… Yes.”

“Then why didn’t you tell us?”

“There’s no use in telling anyone. I couldn’t think of a solution at all for this round. Either I hold out until the end, or someone will goes up and bears the burden.”

“I could’ve taken it!”

Clutch King suddenly stood up, his eyes red and the corners of his eyes moist. He quickly walked over to Li Yi and grabbed his neck.

“You could’ve let me go! Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I’m not willing to chose between you and Snow Chaser.”

“Bro, you and I both know very well that I can’t fight the next battle.”

Clutch King pointed to the ground in the middle, which had been charred by the lightning pillar. There was only one spear still stuck in the ground, and the Heroic Spirit had been reduced to ashes.

“I’ve already gone all out with this boss alone. I won’t be of much use later, but Snow Chaser is different, she could’ve helped you.

“You should’ve sacrificed me instead, but why didn’t you? In the end, it was Snow Chaser who rushed out.

“You could’ve held her back!”

“I…”

Clutch King had seen the whole process. If he had not been too anxious to react, he would have definitely stopped Snow Chaser. He was sure that Li Yi had been able to hold Snow Chaser back then given his strength… He was sure the Li Yi would have held her back.

However, the problem was that he had let go.

Even though Snow Chaser had taken the initiative to break free, he did not go forward.

How could Li Yi not understand what Clutch King had said?

He had been able to catch Snow Chaser back then, but he was the only one with the Lost Magic skill. If Clutch King knew about Li Yi’s plan, he would have dropped everything to rush in.

Snow Chaser was important, but Clutch King building on to his strength was just as much. Clutch King was one of the more important combat forces, and with each level he gains, his chances of winning in the future would be higher.

How could Li Yi possibly tell Clutch King this.

He could not say anything, and could only silently endure the verbal attacks.

Were Clutch King to die in the nightmare mode, he would lose two levels in a row, and within a week, his battle experience would be cut short in half.

This was the intention from the representative of the gods in Divine Revelation. It was to reduce the threat when the gods descended.

A week was nothing to ordinary players, but for those who wanted to improve their strength, a week of falling behind would create a huge gap in terms of power.

This gap could never be filled without wasting more time.

Li Yi had no choice but to choose between weighing the pros and cons.

Right now, Li Yi could only choose to remain silent. He could only hate himself for not protecting the others well. According to his original plan, he wanted to use the members from Sun Conqueror’s guild to take the damage for the two of them, but he had miscalculated.

Due to his initial mistake, the number of members in the team had dropped drastically. He calculated that at least half of them would survive but now only had less than one-third of their members.

“I’m sorry.”

He had been too confident recently, thinking that everything would actually be very simple. In fact, Li Yi himself needed a wake up call. He needed to know that sometimes, he is not strong enough to save everyone

He still needed to become stronger.

No matter how many excuses he tries to find, it would not be enough. Only true strength could protect everyone.

Li Yi did not plan to defend himself. He outwardly admitted his mistake. It was his fault, and he was not ashamed to hide it.

Seeing Li Yi bow his head and admit his mistake, Clutch King had no place to vent his anger.

Now that things had come to this, he could only think of a way to make up for it after he exited the dungeon.

“Bro, what should we do now?”

Li Yi glanced at Clutch King, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly. In the end, he chose to walk towards a certain direction.

“Hey, aren’t we going to take the stairs?”

Sun Conqueror looked at Li Yi in puzzlement.

“Don’t worry, our teammate’s efforts weren’t in vain. As long as we can withstand the next attacks, this battle will really be over.”

This level 20 nightmare mode dungeon had always been an insurmountable hurdle for players.

The key was that after defeating this difficult boss, they would have to face another boss of the same level.

Therefore, very few people were able to hold on until the final boss, and even if they did, very few people would be able to pass.

After a while, a player discovered a loophole in this dungeon. Due to the power of the earth-shattering ligjhtning, the floor had always been under the impact of this powerful energy.

The next boss happened to be right under this great hall.

“Clutch King, you take the rest of the people downstairs to fight the monsters.”

Although Clutch King was a little resentful, he still listened to Li Yi’s arrangements and led the others down the stairs.

Sun Conqueror did not know Li Yi’s plan, and although he was afraid, he still had to go.

The others also walked downstairs with trepidation.

Once they reached, they saw that there was a magic array downstairs with a dragon sealed inside.

[System Notification: Due to player intervention, the seal is about to be lifted.]

[Boss: Level 30 Sealed Demonic Dragon Thunder]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[HP: 1,000,000]

[Physical Attack: 4,100]

[Magic Attack: 5,500]

[Physical Defense: 5,300]

[Magic Defense: 7,000]

[Note: 100 years ago, the most outstanding knight of the Ghana Empire defeated the dragon that invaded the empire and sealed it. Through the runes created by the dragon’s overflowing energy, the dragon was suppressed under the palace.]

“So this is the root of the disaster, but there’s no way to fight it.”

Suddenly, there was a ringing sound above everyone’s heads. Everyone trembled and looked at the dust-covered ceiling in fear. This time, even the dragon raised its head and looked at the ceiling.

Following the third ringing sound, the ceiling broke, and bright light from the Great Hall shone in.

Li Yi held the Heroic Spirit Knight’s spear tightly in both hands, and smashed it towards the Dragon from the sky.

The spear directly pierced through the dragon’s head as it headed its last roar.

[System Notification: Congratulations for clearing the level.]

“What the f*ck?”
