Chapter 408: Evil Aura
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
56 ghouls emerged from the filthy ground. They charged at Caitley one after another.
[-2433]
[-3221]
[-1231]
[-983]
[-5654]
These ghouls have the same HP, but their ATKs were incomparable. Some of them had a higher ATK while some of them were low. However, these ghouls were all the same to Caitley. She only had to hit them once with her flames before they die.
Li Yi activated G.o.d Mode and opted for the weapon that could cause the worst damage, Elimination Arrow. His DPS immediately reached a record-breaking 40,000.
This party may be small in number but apart from Pale Blue Elegance, each one of them was capable of defending themselves. The same could be said about Little Elf from the Magical Realm. Director Yang was really powerful. She had mastered quite a few attacking skills. Although the damaging effect of her spells would be weakened after mastering Heal Exclusive, she had a lot of Skill Points that would be wasted if she did not try and learn.
Scarab King was still dead set in blocking Caitley’s path, ramming it a few times to attract aggro.
When Caitley’s HP dropped to 30 million, Scarab King had only 10 million HP left. It would not be able to hold off this Level 100 boss for long.
Jiaojiao was bas.h.i.+ng DPS. Her equipment may not be complete, but Lord Disaster’s ATK was simply too high. One stab of his sword could result in at least 9,000 damage. If he had attacked with skills, her average damage could very well be over 15,000. It was just as Li Yi had said: a Level 70 Clan Master Jiao could more or less be considered a legend already.
The moment Caitley’s HP dropped to 15 million, its ATK once again had some noticeable changes.
This time, it did not take a break after releasing Flaming Dragon Spell. It raised its staff high in the air and chanted a series of peculiar incantations. Tens of Fire Elementals wormed out of the staff’s tip after a forceful horizontal shove.
“Awaken, spirits drifting within the flames. Use your fire to cleanse all sins!”
Caitley’s deep voice lingered in the air as more and more Fire Elementals snuck out from the tip of the staff, swarming the surrounding area.
Caitley’s staff remained high up in the air as the Fire Elementals continued to pour out of the staff. They expanded in such rapid speed that even Scarab King was enveloped within them.
“Fire-path Forbidden Curse—Song of Flame!”
Oh no!
Li Yi persisted on his usage of Eliminate, attempting to wipe out all of the Fire Elementals. Alas, these Fire Elementals were popping up faster than he could destroy them. Soon, the place overflowing with Fire Elementals.
Song of Flame was a Forbidden Curse that required a high consumption of mana, but the caster would not need to exhaust any more mana once it was released. They would only need to remain in Guidance mode for them to continue to release Fire Elementals up to half an hour.
This was a killer move, and it was a skill Fire Wizards took pride in.
The Guidance mode could be disrupted, but the issue right now was that Caitley had already been surrounded by a thick layer Fire Elementals and Li Yi and the others could not attack it.
“Mood, get your bug to aim at Caitley. We just need that one hit to break Song of Flame.”
Tch tch! Tch tch!
Scarab King fluttered its wings and launched an attack on the surrounding Fire Elementals.
The summoned Fire Elementals did not have a high HP. Each one of them had only 10,000 HP. They were easily slain by Scarab King. It seemed that he had succeeded at clearing the path in the beginning. Just when he was about to reach Caitley, the situation went out of hand right then.
Pretty Good Mood was getting more and more panicked as he fought. He actually tried to follow Scarab King as he saw him charging at Caitley. Li Yi could not grab him even if he had wanted to. The Fire Elementals swarmed onto Pretty Good Mood in an instant and took his life. A dying Scarab King was forced to disperse as well.
“You a.s.s…” The small team of four, including Pale Blue Elegance, could not help but curse.
Anyone could tell that this kind of mistake should not have happened in the first place…
Without Scarab King’s as their main force, the number of Fire Elementals went off the charts.
If Guidance was not interrupted, these Fire Elementals would continue to be unleashed for up to half an hour, and by then, it would be TPK for them.
“Perverted Wing, fire and take these Fire Elementals out. Watch me!”
Jiaojiao shouted and lugged her greatsword on her shoulder. She extended a hand to aim at her target before her.
“Powered-up Arrow!”
Tch tch tch tch tst—
With G.o.d Mode deactivated and Elimination Arrow on the cooldown, Li Yi could only use Powered-up Arrow was the Large Area of Effect Skill he could use to attack.
One arrow from him was able to take out a huge clump of Fire Elementals. The force of the Powered-up Arrow could not reach far though since there was simply too many of them. It died out on the ground after penetrating thirty or so Fire Elementals.
“Death’s Grasp, come here!”
Jiaojiao roared. A purple ray shot out from her palm. It pierced through a ma.s.s of Fire Elementals and locked in on Caitley as the target.
Li Yi was dumbstruck while Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Pale Blue Elegance both gave a thumbs up. “Awesome!”
She was indeed awesome. It should be known that if one wished to use Death’s Grasp to hunt someone down, the first thing they need to do was to have a good aim on the target. Its speed was similar to when Li Yi was shooting an arrow. The Fire Elementals were moving about in such a chaotic manner. The chances of finding an opening towards Caitley was so slim anyone would have missed it…
Li Yi’s arrow would not be able to penetrate the Fire Elementals, but Jiaojiao’s Death’s Grasp succeeded at seizing Caitley. How could he not be dumbstruck?
“Stop gaping. My Death’s Grasp is different from others. I’m able to seize a target in the distance through some tricks.”
Was that another thing they had Lord Disaster to thank for? If that were the case, then Jiaojiao really lucked out.
Caitley stood limply on the ground and gasped for air after Song of Flame was interrupted. The remaining Fire Elementals was quickly annihilated by Li Yi’s party.
The chain of attacks continued. Caitley had recovered when its HP was reduced to 5 million. It raised its staff high to unleash Flaming Blast once again.
With Scarab King down, Li Yi became Caitley’s No. 1 aggro target. This Flaming Blast was naturally aimed towards him.
Violent Bear King was dead a long time ago, so Li Yi was not able to seek its protection. The distance between the of them was really close, so much so he was not able to evade the attack.
He could never outrun a bullet no matter how high his SPD was.
Caitley’s Flaming Blast was unleashed at a velocity faster than a bullet!
Bang!
[-12011]
Li Yi was flung far away from the impact and was struggling with only a few drops of blood on his HP bar.
“Watch my blade!”
Jiaojiao, sensing the tide changing against them, immediately swung her greatsword at Caitley with Double Curse, Desecrate and Brutal Strike…
“Flaming Blast!”
Caitley ignored Jiaojiao’s attack completely. It pointed its staff at Li Yi instead and attack with another Flaming Blast.
Li Yi drank a bottle of Divine Essense while Little Elf from the Magical Realm was focused on healing him. With rotten luck, Caitley’s Flaming Blast hit him, and it ended up being a Critical Hit.
[-25432]
Grand and bold damage numbers appeared on Li Yi’s head. It was an instant kill…
Li Yi was out, but Caitley did not care about that. It turned its attention to Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Pale Blue Elegance, continuing its attack with Flaming Blast.
Wham! Wham!
Two giant fireb.a.l.l.s wiped out both Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Pale Blue Elegance respectively. Jiaojiao was left slas.h.i.+ng with her greatsword tirelessly.
Li Yi and the rest were corpse running. At this point, every second counted. If they ran quick enough, there was still hope that they might win the battle. The fight would be lost should they be a second too late.
Li Yi has completely lost faith in Pretty Good Mood’s operational skills. This guy obviously had the brains but not the limbs to match with it. If it were not for his untimely death, Scarab King would not have disappeared…
Inside the pa.s.sageway, Jiaojiao was still swinging her sword at Caitley. What left everyone puzzled was that Caitley was constantly evading Jiaojiao’s sword as if it was unwilling to attack her upfront.
Jiaojiao’s attacks grew fiercer with every swing of her greatsword. Its damage was as high as 15,000 a second. It was not long before Caitley lost over 1 million HP.
“Flaming Blast!”
A ball of flame erupted from the tip of Caitley’s staff. It initially wanted to aim at Jiaojiao, but it suddenly kneeled before Jiaojiao in a turn of events. The ama.s.sed flame was soon dissipated.
Pretty Good Mood just ran his corpse back and witnessed this scene. He was so stumped that he forgot about the joy of being resurrected.
“It kneeled before me? What does this mean?” Jiaojiao was dumbfounded, but this did not stop her from continuing swinging her greatsword as she diminished Caitley’s HP in the fastest possible rate.
In the midst of her surprise, Pretty Good Mood was resurrected!
Caitley sprang up all of a sudden and shot Pretty Good Mood with Flaming Blast!
Pft!
Poor Mood, who had just gotten up from the ground, died once again in less than 3 seconds…
Li Yi was shocked by what he had seen when he returned from corpse running.
“It won’t hit me and keeps getting evading my attacks. How strange. Right, Perverted Wing, it just kneeled before me…” Jiaojiao exclaimed.
Li Yi observed the scene for a moment before sighing helplessly.
“It’s not kneeling before you. It’s bowing down to your sword…”
Lord Disaster!
This Rune Greatsword of unknown origin only has one remark on it: This is the weapon of Lord Disaster. All of the undead will submit to the ruling of this sword…
All of the undead will submit to the ruling of this sword…
Caitley was in a skeletal state which made it an undead. How could it possibly defy the source of undead?
It was not its intention to not attack. There were several times it wanted to compress a spell and blast it at Jiaojiao, but the process was disrupted by the evil aura emanating from Lord Disaster each time.
A Legendary-level weapon was this powerful!
“Tell the others to resurrect when it’s almost dead.”
“Gotcha!”
Jiaojiao was swinging her greatsword while typing to inform Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Pale Blue Elegance to hold off their resurrections.
Pretty Good Mood had it the worst. He had to run his corpse one more time…
“Enough, how can this treacherous sword stop me? It’s impossible. Even Wicked Flaming Dragon isn’t able to stop my Vengeful Flames. Enough! Enough!”
Caitley became emotional once its HP hit below 5 million. One should know that it was a purple-name Epic-level boss with a high IQ. It was able to think like a human. according to whatever circ.u.mstances it had been put under. If it were not under Lord Disaster’s oppression, it would have killed Jiaojiao multiple times.
“This evil aura that I can’t defy is frustrating me. Oh Augustus, have you come across this evil energy before?”
Caitley gave a hollow sigh before making a sharp turn towards an exit…
“Don’t let it get away. Everyone, revive!” Li Yi bellowed. He was the first to get resurrected!
“Death’s Grasp!”
Just as Li Yi finished speaking, Jiaojiao extended her arm and bounded Caitley with a string of purple ray. She pulled it from the exit instantly.
