MMORPG: The Elementalist

“This is already the 31st wave… Qin Ruo, it looks like we’ve reached.”

After getting used to Inferno’s blazing flames, the party slowly came up with a perfect way to handle a Sharp-mouthed Lava Beast. Within just half an hour, they had already reached the end of the area.

“Yup!”

Qin Ruo looked at the map and nodded his head. This was indeed the last undiscovered area for this zone.

“Be careful everyone! Emerson told us previously that there was an aggressive Divine Boss on this area.”

“Xin Yu, come back!

“Judge, Fatale…”

Just as Qin Ruo pulled Xin Yu back from the vanguard position, a shocking heatwave suddenly came from far away without warning. The heatwave surged together with a visible whizzing flame!

Everyone was startled!

This presence…

“Careful!”

“It’s coming!”

Qin Ruo and the rest increased their alertness and entered their Combat Status mode. It showed a presence that could sharply increase their surrounding temperature. Without a doubt, it must be the Divine Boss.

Elementalists in the party immediately activated their Angelic Wings. While focusing on the unknown presence’s location, they moved back a bit slightly…

At the same time, Judge took out a Dark Gold Shield from his bag and stood in front of the party. Under Inferno’s odious environment, such a presence was even stronger than that of the Grand Reaper outside Camp Edgar!

“Stance.”

Just when Judge just finished his talk, he activated God of War’s Light and Guardian Light. Nevertheless, it would take a long time to finish the battle with a Divine Boss. Also, once the battle had started, it would be difficult to prolong the stance.

All ten people here had achieved Demigod’s tier. This meant that they were much stronger than when they were mere Tier 5 players. However, they were about to face a Divine Boss right now…

For the first time, they were going to fight a Divine Boss with only a ten-player party. Among them, only two were able to unleash their pet’s combat abilities.

Qin Ruo flapped his Angelic Wings and took a deep breath while looking at a shadow that emerged from the crimson scene in front of him.

“It’s coming.”

“…”

Qin Ruo and the rest heard an extremely loud dragon’s roar with an unearthly sound like a bolt of thunder blasting into the ground. Before long, they saw a fierce monster suddenly appearing before them, arising together with the surrounding lava!

“This is…”

“Blazing Kirin!”

The party got nervous suddenly when they saw the Blazing Kirin’s size and molten lava it brought with it!

“White lava!”

In just a short while, a green mist materialized out of the crimson atmosphere. It was like something had evaporated in the sky again!

The extremely high temperature within and the terrific devastation that ensued was frightening!

What made Qin Ruo even more worried was Blazing Kirin’s movement speed. After it cast the AoE spell, its body had already headed towards the party and had enveloped half of them.

“Not good!”

“Sister Violet! Violetmoon Devilite! Retreat!”

“Judge! Rootless Elixir!”

Without thinking too much, Qin Ruo yelled out to the team. An attack from a Divine Boss would instantly kill a Radiant Priest!

The AoE spell might not kill Judge or the other Elementalists, but judging by the cunning Blazing Kirin’s imposing manner, it was obviously planning to envelop the entire party. If Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite were killed, it would mean the operation this time had failed.

Without Radiant Priest, it would be impossible to defeat a Divine Boss with three million HP even if there were a lot more vials of Rootless Elixir.

“…”

Sister Violet and Violetmoon Devilite’s reactions were not slow…

As an operational-type Radiant Priest, they knew well of Radiant Priest’s overall attributes. They were not so naïve to think that they could survive the brainy Divine Boss’ attacks.

Hence… from the beginning, they had already planned to be very careful and to keep their distance from the Boss!

Thirty-five meters!

No matter what, they would not step within thirty-five meters of the Boss, unless Judge was holding the aggro well.

When Blazing Kirin appeared, the astonishing and frightening presence it presented had greatly terrified Sister Violet and Violetmoon Devilite. They sensed a crisis that they never felt before.

Especially when Blazing Kirin cast the AoE continuous spell, they both immediately retreated thirty meters away from Judge. Considering the intensity of the spell, they had no time to think about Judge’s safety. This had saved them from danger.

When the white lava approached… Judge stood there and tanked the pyroclastic flow of molten liquid!

Spending one second in the lava, Judge’ five thousand plus HP had been reduced to only three thousand plus…

AoE spell! This was only a single attack AoE spell!

However, it was a continuous spell… This implied that there would be an attack every second. The damage it caused would be equivalent to two Sharp-mouthed Lava Beasts’ Multi Magic.

Judge was shocked. Just when he was about to be burnt by the lava, he activated Berserk Shell instantly and blocked the subsequent attacks. At the same time, he quickly consumed a vial of Rootless Elixir.

He could not see where the Blazing Kirin was, but judging by Blazing Kirin’s previous movement speed, position, distance, and its overwhelming presence, Judge could somewhat sense where it was. Without a doubt, he slashed the surrounding lava with his saber and it coincidentally hit the Blazing Kirin who was charging towards him.

“…”

Judge had the highest endurance and HP in the party. However, he was already cornered when Blazing Kirin cast its first attack. This was not to mention the other party members.

When Homme Fatale and Black Rock encountered the incoming lava, they could see the light outside their body already flashing. Unexpectedly, their defense had nearly collapsed and their barrier had already taken on serious damage. Their Defense points dropped by about a hundred and their HP dropped by over a thousand!

“What the…”

“Double-attack effects! Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

Homme Fatale and Black Rock were indeed experienced players. When such an unexpected situation occurred, they did not have to wait for the combat log to update before they were able to make an accurate assessment.

Double-attack effect! This meant that in addition to normal magical damage, the attack still contained hidden magical effects.

This effect was common in Fire Element. Most of them had a flame effect or other effects like an attack containing a concealed second spell. Rarer effects would have a Magic Penetration effect.

However, what they encountered now must have been due to the extremely high temperature!

Homme Fatale and Black Rock retreated. The other people behind had received some damage as well but they survived and had already retreated to a safe location.

“…”

Qin Ruo was frightened after he saw what just happened.

“The Divine Boss is too strong… its combat power is astonishing!”

The entire situation looked as if their efforts in making so many preparations previously had gone to vain. Just as the battle started, nine from the party retreated immediately and stayed in the sky. The only one who remained was Judge, who was still tanking the Boss.

If not due to their previous preparations of numerous vials of Rootless Elixir, the party would have collapsed immediately after enduring Blazing Kirin’s first attack…

“…”

“Shit! This is impossible! We are getting hit by high heat damage that ignores defense with three hundred damage points per second and flame damage that ignores defense with three hundred damage points per second!”

Black Rock studied the combat log in detail.

“What’s more, it is still a continuous AoE spell and won’t be interrupted even if the caster moves! The hell! The system is just too eccentric or they are torturing us intentionally.”

Subjugator complained angrily.

“If we players can learn this skill, we would be invincible.”

“This skill… could it be a special spell that has a time limit?”

Homme Fatale frowned and speculated.

“Since the continuous spell can be sustained for so long, I believe its cooldown time must be long too. Or else, we could have stopped this and we would have been back to the city already…”

Everyone nodded their heads.

The party was silenced for two seconds…

“Hehe… big brother Judge is so strong that he can tank the Boss for so long. I lost more than two thousand HP when I received its first attack.”

Wandering Soul looked at the white lava that had a howling wail coming out of it from time to time. Suddenly, he turned back and asked, “Oh ya, Clan Leader, big brother Judge’s Rootless Elixirs should be enough right?”

Qin Ruo nodded his head and replied, “Based on his current speed, he should be able to tank for three minutes.”

After speaking, he paused for a while, and continued his talk to Subjugator and Wandering Soul.

“Don’t need the join the battle. The Divine Boss’ Defense is too high, and your pets are basically futile in this battle. You both stay here and protect Sister Violet and Violetmoon Devilite.”

“Alright!”

They both agreed without a doubt.

Subjugator was often unable to join battles, so this was nothing to him. As for Wandering Soul, the AoE spell just now had already frightened him silly. To make matters worse, his Heaven Peal Lion was also rendered unusable in this battle.

As for Slayer’s Heart, his Earth Enchanted Spider might still prove useful.

“Xin Yu, you will be responsible for poison and melee attacks.”

Qin Ruo looked at Xin Yu and instructed, “Remember, don’t attack it for too long. After you attack once, back off instantly. Whether you can successfully back off or not, just turn your back and run. Get as near as you can to Sister Violet and Violetmoon Devilite!”

“Okay! Roger that!”

Xin Yu promptly understood what Big Brother Qin meant.

A Bandit’s Defense was very low, but Qin Ruo still asked her to perform a melee attack. This obviously proved that Qin Ruo wanted to trade Xin Yu’s death for the Divine Boss’ HP.

The main purpose of him asking her to get near Sister Violet and Violetmoon Devilite was to allow them to resurrect Xin Yu. If she got too far, they could only use stronger Resurrection spells to perform an AoE Resurrection.

“Xin Yu’s attack is only sufficient to decrease the Divine Boss’s HP recovery speed… The main attackers are still Homme Fatale and Black Rock. You guys can use your potions now.”

“Remember, keep yourselves away from each other on both the left and right flanks, and you’ll have to attack at the same time!”

“Big brother Slayer, please support us with your Earth Enchanted Spider and create as much trouble as possible for the Divine Boss.”

“Clear.”

Slayer’s Heart nodded his head. He had already learned this from Qin Ruo earlier.

While the party was still strategizing, the white lava had disappeared from the battlefield. The five-meter tall Blazing Kirin, which was surrounded by flame, was still fighting Judge.

Sister Violet and Violetmoon Devilite dared not recover Judge’s HP, as they saw that everyone had not fully focussed on the battle yet.

They had their Resurrection spell prepared after they had consumed the Sacred Potion.

Arrangement done!

Qin Ruo took out a Sealed Mana Core from his backpack and released it…

Boom!

Amethyst Orc appeared calmly…

Not only that…

In the next second, a white ray came out from Qin Ruo’s palm. Numerous charming White Vixens appeared in front of everyone and shocked the party.

“So… our Clan Leader is into this kind of things huh?”

Within the party, all the male players gave the White Vixens strange looks. It appeared that the vixens were surrounding a man…

“Dinosaurcerer!”
