章節 5: Hero VS Boss
編輯: Atlas Studios
"F*ck, such a huge Boss is actually an Elemental Overlord. I knew that this dungeon wouldn't be that simple." Gasps could be heard from the bottom.
An Elemental Overlord was an existence that was inferior only to an Elemental King. It was not a presence that could be seen frequently.
"F*ck, did I talk too big?" Dragon Epitome thought. He was slightly regretful for not listening to Xiao Yu's peace invitation. However, it was too late to regret his decision, so he shouted loudly, "Prepare for battle!"
A crescent-shaped battle formation was instantly arranged by the trained Adventurer team. The ones in the front were Dragon Epitome and Phoenix, both Hero Mode players. One was the tank, while the other was the healer. They were the two most important anchors in the formation.
The remaining 28 Adventurers were all long-range jobs like Mages, Hunters, Warlocks, High Priests, Priests, and so on. Every job expected was present. They were distributed evenly throughout the surroundings.
Although they knew that Phoenix's healing amount was extremely high, the mental pressure that the Demonic Blaze Overlord had given Dragon Epitome was just too much, so he still pulled a few other healers in the team to help heal him before feeling better.
"Their formation looks quite decent, but what about their strength?" Xiao Yu thought in his heart as he raised the Demonic Blaze Hammer in his hand.
As the final Boss of the dungeon, the Demonic Blaze Overlord, there were three battle stages in total, which were the so-called P1, P2, P3.
In the P1 stage, Xiao Yu could only use two skills: Great Flaming Fireball and Burning Trail, which were both AOE skills. After entering the P2 stage, two new skills could be unlocked: Elemental Door and Flamestrike. When he entered the P3 stage, he could unlock Star Storm and Explosive Burn. Xiao Yu's strategy was extremely simple. First, he would use Great Flaming Fireball and Burning Trail to deplete the HP and mana of the Adventurers. Then, when their HP bars were low, he would make use of the Flamestrike from the P2 stage to crush the formation of the Adventurers in one go. As Flamestrike covered the entire map and its damage was extremely high, once it was used, basically half of the Adventurers would normally die or be in critical condition. Afterwards, Elemental Door would be used to wipe them out.
This strategy had allowed him to wipe out numerous Adventurer teams. Up until now, not one team had been able to take him to the P3 stage. He could only hope that this strategy would be useful today too.
"Scoundrel, do you dare to battle me!?" Once the battle began, Dragon Epitome activated taunt. This made the icons of the surrounding players completely darken, meaning they were now unable to be targeted.
Xiao Yu sneered and vigorously flung the flames in his hand. A fire ball the size of a train smashed downwards.
"Hehe, this is an AOE skill, so it's no use even if you taunt me."
Boom! When the explosion was heard, all the Adventurers in the back scattered to dodge the attack.
Xiao Yu raised his hand again and Burning Trail was released! A pathway of flames started spreading on the ground. The Adventurers had to attack while dodging, resulting in them being in a total mess instantly.
Xiao Yu released Great Flaming Fireball and Burning Trail one after the other, but he did not even take a look at Dragon Epitome, who was at his feet. Since those AOE skills did not need a target to be activated, there was no use even if Dragon Epitome taunted Xiao Yu, so he just allowed Dragon Epitome to keep on slicing him.
"Guild Leader, this Boss seems to not have single target attack skills," said Phoenix in anger as she slashed towards the Demonic Blaze Overlord ferociously.
Normally, Bosses would have single target attack skills since killing one player was better than injuring 10 players. The damage of single target skills was higher than that of AOE skills, so as long as one could kill the tank, the Healer and DPS behind could be easily dealt with. However, Xiao Yu's tactic was completely different. His strategy was to first use AOE skills to attack DPS and healers. Of course, it would be best if he could kill them, but even if he could not, he still wanted to deplete their mana and HP, making them exhausted, then he would wipe them out in one shot when he entered the P2 stage. Thus, Xiao Yu did not use single target attack skills at all.
Seeing that his underlings were in danger, Dragon Epitome immediately made a prompt decision and said to the few healers behind him, "There's no need to worry about us, so the few of you, go and heal others." The few Priests and High Priests immediately nodded and retreated.
"Hehe, it can't be that you think I really don't have single target attack skills? Although I indeed don't have such a skill, the damage of my normal attack is also threatening." Xiao Yu saw that the few healers were retreating, so he swung his Demonic Blaze Hammer after releasing a Burning Trail, smashing towards the ground.
With a bang, the huge Demonic Blaze Hammer the size of the head of a train was actually blocked by the shield of Dragon Epitome. The ground below Dragon Epitome cracked and his ankles sank into the obsidian ground, but he was not smashed flat.
System prompt message: Attack was blocked. 2,247 shock damage was dealt.
The damage seemed quite high, but to Dragon Epitome, with 20,000 HP, it was negligible.
"F*ck, this doesn't make sense!" Xiao Yu was shocked and outraged, so he swung his hammer again. Duang! Dragon Epitome was hit once again.
System prompt message: Attack was blocked. 1,874 shock damage was dealt.
Great Flaming Fireball! The fireball smashed Dragon Epitome head-on, completely engulfing him in flames. Xiao Yu had thought that he would finish him off when the healers were not around.
System prompt message: 7,652 points of Fire damage was dealt, (5,651 was blocked), actual damage dealt was 2,001 points of damage.
After being hammered continuously, Dragon Epitome's HP instantly dropped by one-third. It was a pity that the Fire Resistance of the Flame Dragon's Scaly Armor was too high and Xiao Yu did not have single target attack skills, thus he could only deal such low damage. Actually, if it were not for Dragon Epitome's Hero Mode HP being a few times higher than that of normal Adventurers, he would have died long ago. Just as Xiao Yu was ready to attack Dragon Epitome a few more times again, a Holy Light suddenly healed Dragon Epitome's HP back to maximum in a swoosh.
It was Phoenix. "F*ck, I forgot there was a Paladin beside him."
Xiao Yu took a look at the female Paladin beside Dragon Epitome. She had been standing beside him silently from the start. Her looks were quite decent—why the heck had she become this bast*rd's underling…
With a Hero Mode healer at his side, it seemed like it would be impossible to kill this MT(main tank), so it would be better to follow his original plan.
As he thought of that, Xiao Yu once again released Great Flaming Fireball and Burning Trail towards the trash in the distance.
Although the damage was high, the trash had drunk Fire Resistance Potions and used Fire Protection Scrolls, so their resistance was absurdly high. After a long while, no Adventurers actually died, it was just that the HP of most of them was in critical condition. Struggling to stay alive in the sea of flames, they drank potions vigorously as they continued attacking Xiao Yu.
However, as the battle continued and Xiao Yu's HP dropped by one-third, he finally reached the P2 stage.
Now was the time.
Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios said, "Foolish mortals, tremble in front of this ancient strength!"
Flamestrike!
Boom! Flames engulfed the surroundings, with the Demonic Blaze Overlord as the center. It was like a huge halo was spreading to the surroundings.
