Chapter 336: A Painful Torture

Fifteen!

This time it wasn’t sixteen anymore; only fifteen Water Elementals were summoned .

It seemed like they hadn’t killed the Water Elemental for nothing – if they killed a Water Elemental, fewer would be summoned on the next round .

Since this was the case, everyone knew that they had to kill the Water Elementals without Lu Li’s reminder .

They focused on one Water Elemental first and then a second one . Although Thaelrid was strong, he didn’t take orders from players, so it wasn’t possible to make him focus on a particular target . However, there was a solution around this – everyone attacked the Water Elemental that he attacked .

They managed to kill two Water Elementals this time before Bathiel absorbed the rest .

It seemed as though the Water Elementals gave their defense to the Boss . Everyone noticed that the second round of Water Elementals seemed to be weaker – there was no way that Lu Li and the others would be able to kill a second one otherwise .

Three of the sixteen Water Elementals had been slain .

By this point, Bathiel had grown even stronger, and was now at the standard strength for a level 25 boss .

However, since he failed to absorb as many Water Elementals, he became frustrated and began to use his second spell .



This was a real ultimate skill – icicles started forming in the air and began to rain down on everyone .

Remnant Dream was hit by one of them and lost around 400 HP .

Although she was dumb, her reactions weren’t slow . She immediately began to run around when Lu Li asked her to . Icicles landed on her every now and then, but she wasn’t being hit constantly .

All this dodging heavily affected the battle, but no one had a choice . The icicles continually pelted them from above and dealt high damage, so no one was able to stand still and tank the hits .

As for Thaelrid, he had a lot of health and strong defense, so he didn’t care about this tiny amount of damage .

"The three damage dealers on each team should go and help Thaelrid kill his Water Elemental . "

Lu Li started assigning tasks; his goal this time was to kill at least three Water Elementals .

The first team included Azure Sea Breeze, March Rain, Remnant Dream, Sakura Memories and Moonlight . This team combination, in addition to the NPC, would be more than enough to kill a single Water Elemental .

"March, Breeze, you guys help Wandering with his Water Elemental . Flower, go and help too . Rice Ball, we’ll aim to kill a third Water Elemental together . Attack the same Water Elemental as me later .

As soon as the Water Elementals were summoned, Lu Li pounced on one of them .

After being absorbed twice, the defense of the Water Elementals was much lower . At least, when Lu Li attacked to them, he no longer dealt 40-50 points of damage . His damage had now returned to his original standard of around 100-200 points .



Everyone tried their best and the mission was accomplished successfully . The team that helped the NPC even had time to help the others .

This was a rinse and repeat process . On the third time, the team killed three Elementals and on the fourth time, they improved this to four .

After the fourth round of summoning, the Attack and Defense attributes of the Boss had reached an incredible level . This was especially the case for his Attack – each strike dealt 500-600 damage to Azure Sea Breeze .

If it wasn’t for the fact that Azure Sea Breeze had good gear with a lot of damage reduction skills, the team would have already been wiped .


Despite this, there were still a few times when he was on extremely low on health and was almost killed by the Boss .

Bathiel was now insanely powerful; he was the strongest boss that Lu Li and his team had encountered up to this point of the game . Lu Li and his team were also the top players in the game in terms of gear and level .

The boss began to cast his skill and icicles fell from the sky again .

As these icicles rained down, not only did they deal physical damage, but they also dealt mental damage .

Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan latched onto Lu Li and bowed their heads as they ran behind him . Only a player of Lu Li’s standard would be able to deal damage while he dragged two players behind him .

Remnant Dream couldn’t die – the team still needed her +10% attack group buff . If she died, it would be unfortunate for everyone . Her tiger also dealt a fair amount of damage and together with her pet, she was still a strong damage dealer .

Hachi Chan couldn’t die either – she was a healer and also had a resurrection skill that allowed her to revive players during battle . It was better to be safe than sorry .

"Everyone look out . There’s no need to rush to deal damage . Safety first . "

Lu Li saw that Lonesome Flower had taken a few icicles while he tried to deal a little extra damage .

Goodness, does he want to die?

Losing a team member meant that they weren’t far from a team wipe, so it was better for them to spend more time than to recklessly rush through things . This wasn’t specific to the fight with Bathiel; it was important to play it safe in any boss battle . There was no guarantee that the next hit wouldn’t be a critical strike .

After her participation in the Shadow Cup, March Rain had improved greatly with her positioning and mana control . Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t have been able to sustain in the fight either . Unfortunately, Hachi Chan still hadn’t learned "Innervate" . If she had this skill, March Rain would essentially have an extra bar of mana .

In his previous life, Lu Li had read a description for a particular quest that had a certain chance to reward the skill book for "Innervate" . This skill was quite essential for a Druid, but unfortunately, the quest was also fairly challenging . Otherwise, it would have been easier to let Hachi Chan to do the quest herself .

On the fifth round of summoning, six Water Elementals appeared .

If any Water Elementals survived after this round, it was guaranteed that the team would start losing members after the boss gained more strength .

Everyone was aware that emerging victorious or defeated would be dependent on this round, so their attitude to this battle was very serious .

As soon as the Water Elementals appeared, Lu Li ran towards one with Sprint and began to frantically attack it .

A mere seven seconds!

He was the first to kill a Water Elemental and had used everything he had in these seven seconds to do it, including any special effects that were available .

After he killed the Water Elemental, he ran to help Moonlight while some of his special effects still lingered . Although Moonlight had the most people on his team, most of his teammates weren’t of much use .

Thaelrid was the second one to kill another Water Elemental . Lu Li praised himself again for his wise decision to coerce the NPC into doing the dungeon with him .

Lonesome Flower was the third; Dawn had always been lenient with Mages .

Although his gear wasn’t as great as Lu Li’s, his skills were strong, so his damage output wasn’t weak either .

Water Elementals took about ten seconds to reach the boss . There were still three of them that slowly inched closer and closer to the boss .

Everyone went crazy and used anything that they could – Azure Sea Breeze even tossed out his shield, but it missed the boss and poor Wandering was left with two bumps on his head instead .

"Last one . Was it killed?" Azure Sea Breeze asked with uncertainty after an eerie silence .

"It was killed . The boss’ health didn’t recover – it’s still on fifty thousand . Pay attention now; we’ve passed the hardest stage, so don’t make a silly mistake here," Lu Li reminded everyone .

Fortunately, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had already been through a lot in the past . Everyone was calm and executed their jobs perfectly .

Once the Water Elementals were wiped out, nothing too crazy happened in the remainder of the fight . After battling the boss for around forty minutes, his health bar that seemed as if it contained 90,000 HP, but actually only contained 20,000-30,000 HP, had finally been emptied .
