Chapter 871: Send to Hell (1/2)
”Flame Current!”
A huge blast of fire engulfed Cloudway and deleted another 700k+ HP from his health bar. He only had less than 10% HP left now!
”Quickly! We need to save Cloudway!”
When I finally took out the fourth miniboss, I locked onto Dios and activated Thunderous Charge from maximum range!
Swhoosh!
I hit the great magus like a lightning bolt, but I didn’t manage to stun him. Dios was protected by an exceptionally powerful Magic Shield, and it hadn’t been broken yet.
I raised my sword and slashed him four times in a row using Burning Blade Slash and Universe Break, distorting his shield and dealing a series of damage numbers—
3982!
7267!
10292!
48277!
It looked like Universe Break was the only skill that could significantly penetrate the mage boss's Defense. Not only that, his Defense and Magic Shield were unusually tough, so much so that even the great Prince Cloudway couldn’t possibly defeat him in a one-on-one fight. Still, Prince Cloudway managed to reduce Dios’s HP to 48%, so that was some good news at least.
Lin Yixin appeared after me wielding the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword in her right hand and a dagger in her left. She swung both weapons at the same time and landed Moon Gaze + Extreme Break + Barrier Break combo!
18299!
31726!
She looked at me and said, ”Little Cheat, we can’t keep fighting like this! If we don’t break his Magic Shield, he’ll only regenerate more HP than we can delete!”
I immediately shouted, ”Beiming Xue, ready the Bone Eroding Arrow! Use it once we shred his Magic Shield!”
”Mn!”
Lin Yixin and I circled around the boss and attacked his Magic Shield again and again. However, the damn thing was ridiculously durable, and we were not even close to breaking it.
……
”Kakaka…”
Dios declared with a savage laugh, ”Are you trying to scratch my itch? Do you really think you can kill me with such pathetic attacks, puny adventurers? Come! I shall deliver you all to hell with my legendary magic!”
Dios raised his scepter high and chanted a spell. The next thing I knew, Flame Blast hit me and engulfed my whole body. I could almost pretend that I was being reborn as a phoenix if it wasn’t for the scorching pain drilling all the way down to the bone. Unlike the Flame Blast I knew, this one barely had any cast time and traveled at the speed of lightning. The girls exclaimed in shock as a huge damage number appeared above my head—
170287!
It wasn’t even a critical hit. This boss was a bit too broken, wasn’t he?
I raised my arm and used Tenacity of the Dead without hesitation, healing myself for 70k+ HP in one go. At the same time, I drank a Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potion and received two timely heals from Murong Mingyue, pulling my HP over the 200k mark. It was still a dangerous situation, however.
Next, Dios stomped his foot and summoned a sea of flames right beneath Lin Yixin and my feet. It dealt continuous damage and ate away at our HP rapidly.
”We need to do something, Little Cheat! We’re losing HP too rapidly!” Lin Yixin shouted. We both had Great Earth Transformation turned on, but it still wasn’t enough to stop our health bars from emptying at an alarming rate.
I hurriedly said, ”Use your ice dragon to delay the boss! Its Magic Resist is much better than ours!”
”Yeah!”
One draconic roar later, the Ice Dragon Kris descended from the sky and tore, bit and spat at Dios like the wild animal she was. I also ordered the Phantom Wolf King to attack Dios’s flank with Claw of the Storm. The mage boss panicked a little, he probably wasn’t expecting a Holy Giant Dragon to aid us.
Crack!
Finally, that damn Magic Shield was shattered!
”This is our opportunity!”
I pointed at the boss and used God Binding Art. Please let it work!
It looked like Lady Luck heard my prayers, because the God Binding Art actually managed to shackle Dios. Beiming Xue immediately shot the guy’s head with a Bone Eroding Arrow and reduced his Defense drastically. Even if Dios summoned another Magic Shield, it would be a lot less durable compared to before.
”Kill!”
I executed a near seamless Burning Blade Slash + War Crush combo, and Lin Yixin used Triple Slash and Barrier Break at the same time. Our teamwork was perfect, and three consecutive Intercourses dropped the boss's HP all the way down to 43%. The bastard was still a mage, no matter how powerful he was. If it was just a matter of offensive power, ten out of ten times, his health pool wouldn’t be able to withstand the combined might of Lin Yixin, Beiming, Lian Xin and I.
”Watch out! The boss's going to use a big spell!” Lin Yixin exclaimed suddenly.
