In the arena, five minutes after the battle began, under the strengthening powers of the black petals scattered by the Rose Knight and the super state buff bestowed by Lady Triss, the well-coordinated strategy team—having rehearsed their tactics four times—managed to bring Sir Murphy's health bar down to 28%.
Everyone's movements in this phase of the battle were smooth and fluid, clearly adapted to the intense combat rhythm against Murphy. Remarkably, they were already nearing the execution phase, yet all 40 players remained alive!
This meant that Sir Murphy couldn't utilize executions to drain blood for recovery. His midnight regeneration as a vampire couldn't keep up with the rate of his health loss!
The entire scene felt like the rookie strategy group had suddenly transformed into a professional "carry the boss" team. Even against Sir Murphy in his Bloodthirsty state, dual-gold enhancements allowed them to advance and retreat with ease.
