Chapter 265 (1/2)

I nodded, I had to bring the healer and ranged attacker over or we wouldn't be able to kill this 280k HP boss with just us melees.
Crack crack crack...
The tip of the Purgatory Sword flashed as it swiftly chopped again at the twisting vines beneath us. This boss was so annoying, it was probably going to wrap us like this until the battle was over!
Once I broke free, I charged the boss without any hesitation. This Root Protector was a tall tree that had turned into an evil spirit. The simplest way to attack its main body was to attack its trunk. Anyone a little common sense would know this.
My sword swept over, slamming down an Ice Ray followed up with Slayer Slas.h.!.+
3721!
3559!
Ice Ray transformed into an icicle that pierced through its tree trunk. Frost energy concentrated and quickly froze the boss, greatly reducing both its movement speed and attack speed. Its Group Wrap skill should be immensely impacted now.
Unfortunately, I couldn't actually tell how long its roots were underground. He Yi was still wrapped up behind me and wasn't in the best of moods. She complained as she hacked away at the roots, ”Why do other people kill monsters while I have to be a woodcutter?”
A distance away, Lin Yixin had already cut the vines on Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue. The girls were making their way over!
My attack was still relatively effective. In order to deal with me, the boss no longer used Group Wrap. However, two thick tree arms appeared on either side of the trunk. They were at least a meter in diameter and especially nimble as they whipped up and down!
I hastily curled my body and a.s.sumed the Guard stance!
Bang bang!
37!
450!
Even though my guard was successful, one of the attacks still deleted almost 500 of my HP, sending me into a daze. This Root Protector's attack power really is impressive!
I launched my counterattack right away. The moment Pardon came down, my sword glowed with blood-red light and I hacked with a Rank 8 Desperate Gambit!
MISS!
6001!
Not bad, that damage is enough to leave the boss hurting!
But in the next second, the boss's thick arms whipped me twice. Guard had a cooldown of 3 seconds, so I could only eat those attacks!
1198!
1274!
A scorching pain came from my shoulder. The thick vine-arm was covered in thorns and nearly turned me into a human pincus.h.i.+on. My HP had already almost reached rock bottom. This boss's DPS is too high!
I can't wait for Murong Mingyue's heals, I gotta save myself!
Tenacity of the Dead!
+1105!
And a Rank 8 Health Potion!
+2500!
Alright, I got most of my HP back, again!
I swung the Purgatory Sword and the boss jolted. A layer of golden light covered its upper body, rendering it motionless!
Lin Yixin was shocked as she stared agape into the distance. ”Did the boss enrage?”
Beiming Xue was a picture of calm. ”No, it got paralyzed by big bro's Paralysis Ring!”
”Haha, not bad!”
……
I was also ecstatic as h.e.l.l. n.o.body will think that the Paralysis Ring was useless now. Even though the paralysis only lasted 3 seconds, those 3 seconds were still valuable. Taking advantage of these 3 seconds, the girls ran over. Murong Mingyue shook her staff and healed me to full!
Very good. The strongest lineup was about to move out!
Lin Yixin swiftly closed in and smiled. ”Use your strongest burst in this second!”
Swhoos.h.!.+
A moonlit s.h.i.+ne flashed in her purple eyes as the beautiful Fruit Knife G.o.ddess took out a short dagger and stabbed it onto the tree trunk. When she pulled it out, Extreme Break had already activated!
For 15 seconds, the boss's Defense was lowered by 80% and its max HP was also lowered by 25%. This was why Extreme Break was so awesome. Its combat control capability was something others did not have. Tons of experts had been subdued beneath this skill since the start of Heavenblessed. Forget about Gui Guzi, even CGL Hall of Famers like me, G.o.d's Dance, and Tempest Shadow had to watch themselves when up against Extreme Break.
I checked my cooldowns. They were finally over and I immediately rained down a combo of Slayer Slash + Ice Ray + basic attack!
5895!
5574!
4523!
Sweet, after the boss's Defense fell by 80%, it was so easy to deal damage!
Lin Yixin also unleashed her strongest attacks. Two strikes came out and she shaved nearly 10k HP off of it. He Yi had also arrived by then. She swung the Abyssal Sword, attacking with Flame Thrust + Magic Piercing Slas.h.!.+
