After Lu Li arranged the defence, he began to direct the players who managed to reach the Mage Tower .
It seemed like there were always more snakes to fight . This was partially because they were so densely packed, and were also being constantly spawned . Occasionally, a bundle of snakes would fall from the tower, harassing the players .
This was the last of the three Bosses, and the initial phase wasn't going so well .
This was because Lu Li had ignored that most people had a fear of snakes . As such, when a bundle of snakes fell from above, many players would try to avoid it, breaking their formation .
No matter how Lu Li commanded them, it wasn't effective .
"Those who are afraid of snakes, retreat into the cave . Swap with those who aren't," Water Fairy suggested to Lu Li . When he heard it, he thought it was a good idea and conveyed it to the players .
It turned out that almost all of them were girls .
"I saw some guys running from the snakes too . Why aren't you guys leaving? If you don't leave now, don't blame me later for deducting your points," Lu Li said .
The male players who were also afraid of snakes almost cried .

The Boss had asked everyone who were afraid of snakes to leave . But which of the men would want to embarrass themselves like that? Naturally, it was only the female players that were willing to leave .
After this, no one ran away anymore, even if they were scared . Those male players just grit their teeth and fought through it .
The players that were in the cave continued the suffer because they couldn't just retreat . All they could do was run into their deaths in wave after wave .
After all, Paladins had Invulnerability, Thieves had Gale Steps and Mages had Ice Block . After Ice Block, a Mage could even blink into the crowd of Ruling Sword players .
However, would a defence arranged by Lu Li be so easy to break through?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Of course not!
When they appeared among the Ruling Sword players, they were greeted by a group of Warriors casting Trample and Whirlwind . After the crowd-control, there were further waves of area of effect skills . Those that blinked in couldn't do anything but die . Their only purpose was to provide some time for those behind them .
"Push them back . "
Wandering wasn't participating in the battle, but stood behind them and watched .

When some of these Gangnam-Royal-affiliated players rushed in, it was he who ordered the Warriors to act . The Warriors didn't retreat after killing the players, but instead pushed ahead into the enemies who were flooding in .
The biggest advantage of defending this cave was that the entrance was small, so both sides couldn't commit many players to the fight .
Ruling Sword had deliberately chosen favourable terrain . The enemy could only see them after turning the corner, so they couldn't have their skills prepared while Ruling Sword waited for them .
The players that tried to rush in were soon slaughtered and the hope that they had was now gone .
"Whatever, we need to withdraw . The makes things too difficult and our players aren't strong enough . Even if we keep dying, the compensation we're receiving isn't enough," the person leading the team messaged Heart of War .
Heart of War was of course angry . He looked through all of their subordinate clubs but his control over them had weakened .
Their existence created a huge influx of money which profited the club executives, but this also brought a serious adverse effect . His control at the top had been diluted and doing something like changing a subordinate guild's leader required a board meeting .
Their authority was also being questioned and their subordinates did whatever they thought was right .

Before the changes, an order was an order . It was to be carried out no matter what, even if the costs were not worth it . They didn't think about themselves, and there was no place for a board of directors .
Heart of War was helpless . All he could do was brace himself as he sent out the elite players .
When the other clubs saw this, they immediately dismissed the idea of sending their own players to further investigate . After all, they were so small compared to Gangnam Royals, so it was best left to them .
At this time, Lu Li didn't know that a strong enemy had arrived . He was busy commanding his own guild's elites to enter the Mage Tower .
After entering the Mage Tower, the monsters they fought were no longer the Snake Valley snakes . Instead they were all ghost monsters – the magic minions of Allistarj .
However, when they were faced with the dazzling light of the talisman, it was like they were being shocked by electricity . They would flee into the corners where there was no place to run .
"Despicable Thief, you stole my baby, my treasure . Great Demon King Rakh'likh, please forgive your servant for he couldn't protect your treasure!" Archmage Allistarj screamed from the top of the tower . Apparently, he already knew who stole his talisman .
Without the ghosts bothering them, they were able to smoothly enter the Mage Tower .
The Ruling Sword players outside also withdrew into the Mage Tower . The ghosts returned to their normal state as Lu Li left the area and would help Ruling Sword any enemies that were coming through this way .
When they finally reached the laboratory, Lu Li finally saw the Mage in the white robe .
Allistarj was said to be have been a member of the Dalaran before becoming a Demon Mage . He had studied magic for many years in that country . Unfortunately, his limited talent meant that all he could do was serve the geniuses that were there .
If it weren't for the incident with his teacher, he probably wouldn't have spent his life safely and securely in Dalaran .
His teacher – the book that Lu Li read didn't mention the teacher's name – was an old Mage . This old Mage and Allistarj were similar in that they were at the bottom of the pecking order .
Although this Mage was old, his heart was not . In order to pursue more strength, he began to study forbidden magic .
This so-called forbidden magic was not something that could be casually studied . Azshara had learnt from the mistakes of his predecessor and found this behaviour abhorrent . As such, they tied the old Mage to a copper pillar and burned him alive .
The reasoning was that this would serve as an example for the other Mages, and prevent them from committing similar crimes .
However, the forbidden magic opened up a new world for Allistarj . He found the notes which recorded all the old Mage's research and the relics that he dealt with .
Allistarj then left the city of magic, and began a life as a wandering mage .
