Chapter 827 - Frozen World (1/2)

Raging flames filled Nie Yan’s view. Just as he was about to be hit by the fist, he activated Gale Step and fled away.

BOOOOM! The Lava Titan’s fist smashed into the ground. The ground melted into a pool of lava and splashed everywhere.

The Lava Titan searched for traces of Nie Yan. It was thoroughly enraged by his onslaught of attacks.

The surroundings were ablaze, resembling a world of fire.

If there were a skill that could go against the Lava Titan’s lava domain, that would be great.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Nie Yan’s head. If they didn’t have any high rank skills that could do it, a low rank one would have to do.「All those with Frozen World, cast it!」

The Elementalists were dumbstruck. Frozen World was a spell that didn’t deal any damage. Why would they use it? Even so, they raised their staffs and started chanting. Soon, a thick, icy mist emerged, as the surrounding temperature plummeted by several degrees. Sheets of ice started forming in the air. As they rained down, they were immediately evaporated into steam by the Lava Titan’s lava domain. The lava flowing in the ground cooled down considerably. The Lava Titan also appeared to have an adverse reaction to this spell. As a thin layer of ice formed over its rocky skin, its movement speed slowed to a crawl, and its health regeneration speed too.

Frozen World was one of the few spells that could be stacked on top of each other. With over 260 Elementalists casting it at once, 60 of which had enhanced versions of the spell, the effects were clear and immediate.

Bladelight activated Bulwark of the War God, greatly increasing his magic resistance. However, he still couldn’t escape the effects of Frozen World. His body became stiff as he was covered in a thick layer of ice. Lofty Shadow didn’t fare any better. Only Nie Yan who had activated Holy Descent was unaffected.

Shaking the ice off its body, the Lava Titan shifted its attention to the Elementalists. It was in a weakened state.

Nie Yan chanted out an incantation and summoned Lil’ Gold. Locking down the Lava Titan was their main priority!

Lil’ Gold couldn’t withstand even a single blow from an existence like the Lava Titan, but he could still be useful in other areas!

「Frozen World works! I can’t believe it!」

「We stacked over 260 Frozen Worlds on top of each other! Of course it would be effective!」

The expedition team members stared at Nie Yan in amazement. How did he come up with the idea of using Frozen World? They all thought low rank spells were utterly useless against a super high level boss like the Lava Titan. However, he proved them wrong.

In truth, Nie Yan was nothing more than a blind cat coming across a dead mouse. A lucky guess, that was all. Thankfully, it was correct. Ingenuity was oftentimes one of the requirements for dealing with bosses.

「Watch out for its Lava Breaker skill! Discuss your tactics first before acting! We can’t risk any mishaps!」Nie Yan reminded.

The expedition team members all stood on top of boulders. Over 600 Mages let loose with their spells. They bombarded the Lava Titan with a barrage of magic.

About half an hour later, the Lava Titan’s health fell to 10,000,000. Suddenly, it started rampaging and rained down a flurry of blows on Bladelight, pushing him back bit by bit. “GROOOOAH!” It let out a deafening roar as a powerful sound wave swept out.

Mind Resist!

Tranquility!

Everyone activated skills to evade the Lava Titan’s attack. However, 700 players still failed to react in time. After being hit by the sound wave, their bodies turned rigid.

Immediately after, the Lava Titan activated Lava Breaker. An endless amount of lava surged out of the ground. A tidal wave swept over the expedition team.

Everyone was blindsided by this sudden turn of events. They had all discussed prior that if the Lava Titan used Lava Breaker, they would immediately escape with their various escape skills, something they had practiced to a great extent. As long as they reacted quickly enough, most of them could avoid it. However, none of them expected the Lava Titan to use Lava Roar first. Those who managed to dodge the first skill hurriedly teleported away with Unknown Transfer Scrolls. However, far more were engulfed by the lava.

It was a brutal wipe. The battle immediately ended. With no more enemies in sight, the Lava Titan lost all aggro and started roaming around. Its health quickly recovered back to full.

Only when the Lava Titan walked far away did the surviving Priests dare to start resurrecting their fallen teammates. Even more players had to run back to their corpses because the 20-man teams they belonged to didn’t have a Shaman or were completely wiped out.

After everyone was revived, they sat down in the forest clearing and started recovering their health and mana.

Gazing at the Lava Titan roaming around in the far distance, they couldn’t help but sigh. Sure enough, a Level 200 Lord wasn’t so easy to deal with.

Over 800 team members had died. However, wiping once or twice was a fairly common occurrence. No equipment was lost, just some experience.

「So, how did it feel? Facing the Lava Titan for the first time?」Nie Yan asked with a faint smile.

「Its attacks are too fast! There were no warning signs at all before it used Lava Roar.」

「Yeah! We couldn’t react at all!」

Nie Yan glanced at Paladin of the Elegy and Tyrannical and asked,「What do you guys think?」

「All bosses show a tell before doing a big attack. I saw the Lava Titan’s eyes burning brighter than usual right before the Lava Roar.」

「Also, the mana in the air started fluctuating violently,」Summer Bug chimed in.
