Chapter 449 - 313: Seal Damaged, Ghouls Escape!_2
Ever since Number Two had completed her Fourth Order class change quest, her level immediately maxed out, reaching Fourth Order Level 100, and then the life-bound grand array unique to Array Masters was opened.
During this time, she had focused on refining the Blood River Demon Soul Formation flags, and all one hundred and eight of them had been integrated into her Spirit.
Unfortunately, for the complete integration of this nefarious formation, it would have to wait until the grand array was fully formed and activated.
At this moment, unless Number Two set up the grand array, she couldn’t use the formidable power of this nefarious formation at all.
As a result, after advancing to Fourth Order Level 100, her strength hadn’t increased by much.
Among this group of people, other than that restless panda Tuanzi, she was the weakest.
"Then I’ll have to count on my husband."
Number Two’s originally solemn expression relaxed, and as she looked at Zi Liyuan, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"These bunch of monsters want to break the seal and come out, but it’s going to take a while. Let’s first kill the Stone Giant King; the soul of an Epic Boss is enough to become the main soul for one of your formation flags."
Zi Liyuan nodded and turned his gaze toward the Stone Giant King, who was being thrashed by Dailisi. The magic wand in his hand emitted a vast aura of death, rapidly condensing into a Bone Spear, which he fired at a tricky angle, aiming for the Stone Giant King’s occiput.
This sneak attack was very successful, mainly due to the perfect cooperation of the Black Dragon Sister.
The moment Zi Liyuan released the Bone Spear, she deliberately adjusted the angle, and at the instant the Bone Spear was fired, she released her dragon’s might, simultaneously pacing forward with her dragon claws to restrict and intimidate the Stone Giant King.
The result was a ghastly white Bone Spear, filled with a tremendous Power of Death, piercing into the occiput of this dirt-elemental Epic Boss.
The vast aura of death within the Bone Spear erupted instantly, beginning to obliterate the dirt-elemental power within the opponent’s body and even started eroding its spirit.
A Level 25 Bone Spear dealt as much as 800 million damage, piercing the rocky body, and almost in the blink of an eye, shattered the creature’s skull into dust.
If it had been a normal creature of Epic Boss status, this sneak attack would’ve definitely caused severe damage to the unguarded Epic Boss.
Unfortunately, the Stone Giant King was an Earth Elemental being, and as long as its earth elemental Crystal Core wasn’t destroyed, losing its head had no effect on it whatsoever. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Elemental creatures, while some appear to have eyes, do not actually see with them; they perceive their surroundings through their spirit.
Therefore, the real damage caused to this creature by the Bone Spear relied entirely on the erosion caused by the Power of Death unleashed from it.
Seeing a damage number in the tens of millions, floating above the Stone Giant King’s head, Zi Liyuan felt quite satisfied with this strike.
One hit had taken out one-tenth of the opponent’s health, which was very commendable.
So, he persisted.
With the tacit cooperation of the Black Dragon Sister, the two of them quickly managed to slay this stone giant.
Holding the Epic Boss-level earth elemental Crystal Core, he casually tossed it into his Spatial Backpack.
Earth elemental Crystal Cores were too stable and not suitable as the main material for making super bombs; the Crystal Cores of fire or thunder elements were much more useful.
Thinking of this, Zi Liyuan’s gaze shifted toward the Dimensional Cage.
At this time, the battle within the Dimensional Cage had also reached a feverish intensity.
With Shen Yurou and Xiao Guang teaming up to set up the Magic Crystal Cannon, they sneak attacked and bombarded the Flame Hydra, making the fight much easier for everyone as they mostly served as a distraction.
But Lao Tie and the Spider Queen didn’t hold back, seizing the opportunity to launch fierce attacks.
Lao Tie’s skill combo was genuinely a flurry of blows, hacking dozens of times a second, each blow guaranteed to be a critical hit, inflicting terrifyingly high damage.
The Spider Queen was even more outrageous; as soon as Shen Yurou and Xiao Guang finished preparing for the bombardment, she would use mind control to restrict the Flame Hydra.
After the bombardment, she would immediately charge forward, her Dual Blades at full force, giving this Legendary BOSS a skin-flaying massage, taking brutality to the extreme.
If this had not been a fire elemental being capable of regenerating with fire elemental power after being flayed, it might have had several layers of flesh alive peeled off.
As for Zhu Wu and the others, they kept their distance from the Spider Queen, not daring to approach this fiercely cruel creature.
The Flame Hydra’s health had dropped to one-third, and it was afflicted with forty-eight negative BUFF states.
With Lao Tie, the Spider Queen, Shen Yurou, and Xiao Guang’s lineup, at most they could stack five negative BUFF states.
That is to say, Zhu Wu and the others had applied forty-three negative BUFFs to the Legendary BOSS, nearly weakening its overall strength by 40%.
It was outrageous, yet expected.
The four royal families had tremendous depth, especially the four Ancient Empires within the Sea of Realms, which were the true protectors of the Blue Star Human Race.
"It’s a pity that elemental creatures can’t use the ’Resurrection’ skill, otherwise reviving this Flame Hydra would add another Legendary BOSS to my hands, and my overall strength would increase by at least 10%," Zi Liyuan lamented while looking towards the Wraith Mage legions.
The bombardment from the three Magic Crystal Cannons had almost destroyed the Death Formation they created, which had been mostly replenished by now.
Meanwhile, the attacks from the Lords within the Magma Lake were no longer as powerful as they had initially been, and some of them were even focusing on his direction.
The threat of the Magic Crystal Cannon was immense; it was truly capable of annihilating those Elemental Lords in an instant.
The reason these Flame Lords did not attack Lord Zi was wholly because Dailisi was flying right in front of him.
The scene of the Black Dragon King playing with the Stone Giant King had unfolded just moments ago, and among the Giant Dragon race, Black Dragons had top-notch elemental resistance.
These Flame Lords were well aware of their limits; unless they all united to cast spells and focused their fire on the Black Dragon King, it would be difficult to break through its defenses and harm that damn human.
For a moment, the battle within the volcanic cavern stalled.
However, as the orange fireball seal became corroded by the dead energy released by the eight million spirits, it grew increasingly fragile, and it was evident that the Elemental side would be defeated.
"Li Yuan, after you obtain the Flame Hydra’s Fire Elemental Crystal Core, let me extract its Spirit with the Array Flag first," Number Two naturally wouldn’t be polite at this time.
Once she successfully completed the fusion and made the Blood River Demon Spirit Evil Array her Life Array, her strength would surge, allowing her to better assist Zi Liyuan.
"Sure," he nodded. He only needed a Legendary BOSS-level Fire Elemental Crystal Core to create a super bomb; it didn’t matter whether or not it contained a Spirit. Read latest chapters at empire
"Now I understand why so few go hunting elemental creatures," the scarcity of tangible rewards was clear, for though Elemental Crystal Cores were needed in many places, they weren’t irreplaceable.
But elemental creatures were difficult to handle, hard to slay, and the only loot would be Elemental Crystal Cores.
Keep in mind, outdoor monsters aren’t like instance monsters, as their corpses can be collected after being slain, yielding a considerable amount of materials.
Instance monsters only drop materials based on drop rates, and only bosses drop equipment.
Why do most professionals prefer leveling up in the wild?
First, entering instances requires real money to buy tickets, which are not free.
Second, the profit from instances isn’t as high as in the wild; instance drops rely purely on drop rates, but with wild monsters, even if they don’t drop things, their corpses can be packed up and dissected for more materials.
Third, there’s a daily limit to how many times each class can enter instances!
Not everyone is a freak like Zi Liyuan, who specifically targets instances where monsters can be farmed infinitely for experience.
Why did Wang Tie’s father set a time limit for him to grind instances?
Because opening an instance consumes its original energy, and the first time he went, he almost caused an instance to collapse.
If he wasn’t given a time limit, he could cause the destruction of countless instances.
