Chapter 721: Ice Ground

“I don’t know if you guys noticed but when the BOSS reappeared, his health was full again,” Fearless added.
“This…” Everyone’s face turned gloomy at the thought of it…
Indeed, when Clover Reaper flew out from the ground the second time, his health was indeed full. This meant to say that Clover Reaper’s [Earth Elemental Technique] was not only capable of hiding himself, but he could also even recover his health underground. This made things incredibly difficult because this meant that the BOSS would be invincible as long as they couldn’t finish the BOSS off in one attempt.
“This BOSS is way too troublesome, like a rat… Shouldn’t we think of a way to lure him out?” w.a.n.g Yu said with regrets.
Earlier when w.a.n.g Yu grabbed onto the vine, he thought that he could hold onto the BOSS. Who knew that this BOSS was this crafty? He even knew how to cut his vine to escape and this was enough to make w.a.n.g Yu depressed.
Peak Of Perfection shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter how we lure the BOSS out. What matters is how we stop him from going back underground.”
No matter how strong the [Earth Elemental Technique] was, it would have its time limit. Clover Reaper couldn’t stay underground forever. Currently, it seemed like the limit was at most 90 seconds. Therefore, stopping the BOSS from going back underground was the key to this problem. After all, allowing this BOSS to go back underground to recover his health was the intractable problem of this stage.
“You’re right!” Fearless nodded to agree with him before continuing, “Has anyone watched the before?”
“No…” Everyone shook their heads because this was a very old novel… Some of them hadn’t even heard of this novel before. Even Fearless came across it when he was collecting books about war.
Fearless replied, “In that book, there was a fella who was particularly good at moving underground which was extremely frustrating. However, there was an even more impressive fella who could use a magic skill to capture him.”
“What magic skill?” everyone asked out of curiosity.
“Steel Ground!” Fearless replied.
“F*ck! Isn’t that nonsense? It is obviously an eastern fantasy skill. Don’t tell me there are such skills in a western fantasy game like this?” Everyone heard but was immediately disappointed.
However, Peak Of Perfection scratched his chin and said, “You cannot say that because even though we cannot turn the ground into steel, an ice Magician could still turn the ground into ice. The medium for [Earth Elemental Technique] is earth so he will not be able to execute his skill on ice.”
Hearing Peak Of Perfection’s words, Fearless smiled and said, “You’re right! But we don’t have any ice Magician…”
“F*ck…” Peak Of Perfection was slightly taken aback as he suddenly recalled that Ming Du’s magic skills were either fire or thunder. He was clearly not an ice Magician.
However, Peak Of Perfection suddenly took out a scroll and said, “It’s okay, I have a magic scroll here!”
“Magic scroll? Let me take a look….” Fearless extended his arm towards Peak Of Perfection as he handed the magic scroll to Fearless.
Magic Scroll (Freezing A Thousand Miles): Rare tool that can release ice magic skill [Freezing A Thousand Miles]. Required job: Magician.
“d.a.m.n, [Freezing A Thousand Miles]…” Looking at the magic scroll, Fearless took in a deep breath of cold air as he stared at Peak Of Perfection.
[Freezing A Thousand Miles] was the ultimate skill for ice Magician. To say that it could destroy heaven and earth was a little exaggerated but describing it as world-shaking was still acceptable… More importantly, something like that could not be bought by money. Peak Of Perfection actually wanted to use something like that to ‘renovate’ the ground…
Initially, Fearless thought that Peak Of Perfection was merely an extremely wealthy person. Who knew that this guy was also so liberal with money?
“How? Can it work?” Peak Of Perfection scratched his head to ask when he saw that Fearless wasn’t saying anything.
“Yes!” Fearless said as he kept the scroll into his bag.
When Peak Of Perfection saw that Fearless kept his scroll, he shouted in anger, “F*ck! That is for a Magician to use!”
Fearless replied, “I know… But our Magician has no use for this, it will be such a real waste.”
“Waste your head, didn’t you say…”
Before Peak Of Perfection could finish his sentence, Fearless interrupted him forcefully, “Alright, I promise we will be able to keep the BOSS above ground so stop being a baby!”
“F*ck! You shameless b*stard!”
“He’s coming again!” As the two of them spoke, Clover Reaper’s time underground was up. He emerged from the ground as his vine flew towards Peak Of Perfection again.
Peak Of Perfection was really an unlucky fella. Every time the BOSS emerged, his aggro would be targeted at Peak Of Perfection.
Of course, Clover Reaper’s luck wasn’t any better because w.a.n.g Yu was always the one protecting Peak Of Perfection. After missing his target three times in a row, the BOSS wasn’t giving up on the same target. How persistent!
Seeing the vine flew up, w.a.n.g Yu reached out his hand to wrap the vine around his arm once more. With a pull of the vine, Clover Reaper was dragged out by w.a.n.g Yu once more.
Clover Reaper looked like he was frightened by w.a.n.g Yu so the moment he saw that the enemy was w.a.n.g Yu, he swung the other arm to chop off the vine. He was about to enter the ground again.
This time, Ming Du waved his staff and activated [Ice Mirror] on the ground. A layer of ice appeared on the ground and Clover Reaper was trapped above ground.
“F*ck! Didn’t you say you don’t have an Ice Magician?” Peak Of Perfection pointed his middle finger at Fearless. He clearly had an Ice Magician yet he said he didn’t have one. He cheated him of a precious scroll.
“Haha.” Fearless laughed as he replied, “Who told you that a Magician who knew ice skills is an Ice Magician?” At the same time, Ming Du swung his staff and executed [Berserk Thunder] on the BOSS’s head.
Peak Of Perfection immediately kept quiet when he saw that.
[Berserk Thunder] was an essential skill of a Lightning Magician. This was definitely not a lie so the reason why Ming Du could learn [Ice Mirror] was probably due to some good fortune…
As for what kind of good fortune, Peak Of Perfection had always been completing quests so he had come across several bizarre tools. He could only accept that he was unlucky to have met a person as despicable as Fearless.
After Clover Reaper was trapped above ground, Boson used [Mountain Shattering Blow] to send him flying again. The entire Quan Zhen Sect started attacking Clover Reaper just like before.
The coordination and plan were the same as before. They were trying to keep him above ground for as long as possible. However, with Ming Du’s [Ice Mirror] and the support from Fearless’s invincible s.h.i.+eld, there was no way Clover Reaper could get back into the ground even if he teleported.
Presently, Clover Reaper was like a wild dog trapped in an alley. No matter how much he struggled, he was trapped above ground.
The Quan Zhen Sect’s damage output was pretty high so after waves of attacks on Clover Reaper’s body, Clover Reaper’s health decreased to around 30%.
Usually, a BOSS would transform during this stage so everyone was extremely cautious. However, Clover Reaper didn’t transform even after his health had decreased beyond 30%.
29%
28%
…
25%
As the BOSS’s health decreased even more and when everyone successfully disrupted his vine attack, Clover Reaper’s body started glowing in red. He jumped up into the air as he swung his vine and flew towards Ming Du.
“Not good!”
When they saw that the BOSS suddenly attacked Ming Du, Fearless and Peak Of Perfection cried out simultaneously.
