Chapter 362
As always, Zhang Yang’s party total attack power was not to be underestimated . The boss was strong, but so was the party . They had managed to hack down Brook’s HP down to 75% in less than a minute .
During that time, Brook lifted his wand and cried out, "Spirits of Fire! I summoned thee to assist me!"
In a split of a second, eight Fire Elementals appeared on the battle field . They had miraculously been formed roughly 40 meters away from the boss . Slowly, the elementals moved towards the center where they spread out to where Brook was at . The elementals were only as tall as half of a man’s height . Burning in the air, they hovered a few inches above the ground, like the glowing orbs of ghosts .
‘Ding! Brook has used {Summon Fire Spirits}!’
[Fire Spirit] (Elite, Summoned)
Level: 85
HP: 100,000
Defense: 450
Immediately, Zhang Yang switched his targets and call out . "Aim for the minions!"
Usually, when the boss summons something out, they would target the players and chase after them . Their roles were simple, to either immobilize them or damage them . The player could simply move away and kill them before any bad stuff happens . This time, the summoned elementals were all moving towards the boss! That must be a hidden agenda behind their movements! Also, their slow movement speed had practically given the players a chance to destroy them . Like the previous bosses that Zhang Yang had encountered, the summoned minions might buff the boss or even heal him! By any means necessary, it would be wise to kill them before they could do anything at all!
The rest of the team understood, without having Zhang Yang to point it out for them . Melee players pulled the reins of their mounts and headed to engage them . Ranged players stood from afar and attacked from there .
After a few experimental shots, it was just as Zhang Yang had guessed . The elementals would not attack the player, much less even pay any attention to them . Unfortunately, the elementals would not be affected by any status effect skills . They would just continue on, at a constant, uninterruptible speed, towards the boss .
Everyone’s combined attack power, coupled with the battle mounts that they possessed, had managed to kill one of the Fire Spirits with relative ease . Shortly after that, another one dropped and turned into ash . Following next was the third . And then the fourth…
These Fire Spirits were so slow that they had needed more than 30 seconds to travel a short distance of 40 meters . Thus, with Sun Xin Yu and the other attacking class had a luxurious amount of time to terminate them .
That being said, it would still be impossible for them to kill all of the Fire Spirit within the stipulated timing . Each of the Fire Spirits had 100,000 HP and were widely spread across the battle field . After killing one, the players would have to travel a short distance to kill the other . That travel time alone had provided the Fire Spirit the opportunity to move closer to the boss!
Zhang Yang started calculating and if the situation continued on, at least two Fire Spirits would successfully have made it to the boss . Though he may not know what would happen if they did, it could not be pretty .
Zhang Yang hesitated for a while before he jumped down from the Mythical Turtle and ran towards the empty spot where the Fire Spirit was killed . He wanted to lure the boss away to extend the distance for the Fire Spirits to travel and provide more time for the team to kill the remaining Fire Spirits .
Although his plans and execution might be flawless, Brook was not stupid enough to be "trick" . Or rather, Brook did not chase after Zhang Yang even when he had the aggro . The system might have set the boss to be stationary when Brook has summoned the Fire Spirits . He had to remain stationary until they had come to him or if they were killed off .
Zhang Yang quickly went back to his original position . There could be a chance that the Fire Spirits might heal Brook, and if that was the case, Zhang Yang had to be in place to make sure that {Destructive Smash} is on the boss .
Zhang Yang came to him, dealt a clean {Destructive Smash} and the two remaining Fire Spirit had arrived to the boss .
Brooks laughed and pointed his wand at one of the Fire Spirits . "Let the Fire Spirit cleanse your sins!"
Foom!
The Fire Spirit exploded into a large fiery wave that spread to all directions . The initial wave was so strong and powerful that the fire could even reach the end of the island!
‘-100,000!’
Immune!
‘-100,000!’
Transferred!
Absorb!
…
It was during this time, everyone is tested for their intuition and speed .
Sun Xin Yu and Lost Dream had disappeared the moment the wave struck them and had evaded the attack via the I-Frame . Daffodil Daydream used {Ice Frame} to render herself immune to all attacks . Endless Starlight used {Sacred Protection} . Zhang Yang used {Sacrifice} to protect Han Ying Xue and had activated the Titan’s Chest Plate’s extra effect to protect himself .
Sadly, that was the only survival skills that were used . Fatty Han, Hundred Shots, and Wei Yan Er were killed instantly . None of them had any life-saving "immunity" skills .
When everyone thought that the worse was over, Brook pointed his wand to the other remaining Fire Spirit and repeated the same line again, releasing another intense blast that spread all across the battle field .
‘-100,000!’
‘-100,000!’
Both Sun Xin Yu and Lost Dream were immediately sent out of stealth and died .
Immune!
Immune!
Daffodil Daydream and Endless Starlight both still had their "invincibility" skill active, so they were unscathed .
Transferred!
Zhang Yang’s {Sacrifice} was still active on Han Ying Xue and he had taken all the damage on her . At the same time, the Titan Chest Plant effect was still active, and was able to further absorb more damage before it breaks . In fact, the Titan Chest Plate effect could absorb a total of 300,000 damage! There was a surplus of damage that could not be absorbed .
‘-12,904!’
After the grand attack, Zhang Yang’s team was only left with five members, leaving Daffodil Daydream as the only person capable of being the attacker .
How could they continue the boss fight when the boss’ own normal attack was overwhelmingly strong?! Even with Zhang Yang’s iron clad defense and Han Ying Xue’s super healing capabilities, they could not last until the boss was defeated . They could only throw in the towel at this point . Especially since the team was left with just one attacker, or even two, if you take Zhang Yang as one of the main damage dealers .
"Noob tank . I think we should kill all the minions before they reach the boss . Or else, they will explode and kill us all," said Wei Yan Er after a long silence .
The party kept quiet when one of them accidentally cough out a laugh .
"…You’ll make an Isaac Newton . Really…I mean it . It’s just, why didn’t you say it 300 years ago!?"
"That’s because I wasn’t born 300 years ago, dummy!’
As expected of the little girl, she was still new at detecting sarcasm . Knowing that continual struggle would be meaningless, Zhang Yang ordered everyone to give up the fight and start it over . Everyone allowed the boss to burn them to death and they regrouped .
"Those Fire Spirits are the main problem . "
"I agree . But I feel that our DPS was a little too weak . "
"You’re not wrong, though . In fact, we might not make it if we rely solely on DPS . The boss summoned those fire thingies at 75% HP . I fear that it might summon those things again at 50% and at 25% HP . "
"How about this, when dealing the first wave of minion, take a bottle of {Power Potion}, in the second wave, use any skills that can increase attack damage . Kill the third wave of minions normally . If there’s not enough time, kill them with {Dance of the Heaven and Earth} . However, I must warn you, that skill is our trump card . God knows, the boss might go berserk later . Do not use the skill unless it’s really necessary!"
"Roger . "
