Chapter 136: Hallucinatory Pollen
The quiet little path had almost reached it’s end. Infront of everyone was a sea of flowers that spanned hundreds of meters. Although it was a sea of flowers, the flowers were all wilted and it looked desolate. Without the trees around, their field of view broadened, and some sunlight managed to pierce the haze.
In the sea of flowers, was a girl who was lying on a leaf. Although she was pretty, she looked fierce and wild. Black veins throbbed on her green skin, and a dense aura of corruption emitted from her. She sensed that people had arrived, and suddenly turned her head to look at them with her red eyes. “Humans! It was you who eliminated Kunqi and saved Kunsa! You will pay for your actions!!”
“Not good! Prepare for battle! Shaking Bear, Lil’Dino, surround her! Ranged, prepare your magic! Prioritize dealing fire damage! Lele, prepare your Powerful Oil Flask!” ThornyRose quickly shouted instructions. Not good, the boss fight already started!
Stepping on the wilted flowers, everyone encircled Alice. Alice waved her hand and pieces of black tree roots shot out of the ground, piercing towards them like projectiles. ThornyRose raised her shield and blocked. Although the shield reduced a lot of the physical damage, it couldn’t block the added corrosive damage. She began to lose 2 health a second. Zhang ZhengXiong had also slapped a piece away with his shield and was inflicted with corrosion. He roared: “Dodge the black arrows! If you get hit, you’ll be inflicted with corrosion!!”
FrozenCloud, who was behind him, quickly leaned and dodged. The Assassins also gracefully dodged the incoming attacks.
Countless black projectiles continued to shoot out from the ground under Alice’s feet. ThornyRose swung her sword, slashing apart the creepers that blocked their way, however their charging speed was still greatly reduced. Zhang ZhengXiong swung his saber, and the effect activated. Raging flames shot out of it, pushing back the evil energy. The creeping vines dodged away as if afraid. Madly swinging his red saber, he made his way forwards. The other melee chose to follow behind him, waiting to get into range.
Two fireballs, one large and one small, broke through the barricade and exploded on Alice’s body. A huge amount of damage was dealt, followed closely by a piercing scream. Ye Cang furrowed his brows, the spell had failed to stun. “Careful! She’s not stunned!!”
Zhang ZhengXiong took this opportunity to stretch out his right hand and shot a large, blindingly bright, fireball. It followed the path that Ye Cang’s fireball had created, and again, exploded on Alice’s body. Rays of light and blazing flames interweaved in the explosion. “Stun failed, but she’s blinded!!”
FrozenBlood and the Assassins quickly jumped out from behind Zhang ZhengXiong’s protection and began rushing over. ThornyRose felt like she was treading on ice. It was hard for them to advance with these creeping vines stopping them. Suddenly a black shadow flashed by above her head. Right Lele! He has that leaping ability! “Lele! Beat her down with all your strength!!”
Lin Le leapt through the gap left by the previous fireballs, and arrived beside Alice. With a spin, 3 Powerful Fuel Flasks splashed onto her, covering her in oil. Her scream, when it set ablaze, pierced to the bone.
ThornyRose knew Lin Le’s Powerful Fuel Flasks had succeeded!
“She’s weakened and stunned!!” Lin Le said as he activated the crystal on his weapon, enshrouding it in flames. He crushed two gold coins, and slashed with his blade. Whirlwind Strike! Shoulder Tackle! Rising Slash! He rolled to her back and summoned his handcart! “Lele’s homerun!!”
Although there were roots holding alice to the ground, under Lin Les all out attack, she still became a screaming fireball that was sent flying towards ThornyRose and Zhang ZhengXiong. She had no chance at all. The three Assassins all complained in their heart. You should have told is earlier! They began to run back the way they came.
Lin Le’s combo earlier had dealt a terrifying amount of damage to the boss.
Ye Cang drew his mithril rapier, and cast a flameblade on it! His sword was enshrouded in raging flames which made it look like a meteor as he rushed over. Straight Thrust combo! 5 flames pierced her head. It looked like a volcano had exploded in her face.
Alice fell and burned to ashes. Everyone looked stunned, it was over just like that?
“Be careful! Don’t relax your guard until you hear a system message!!” ThornyRose roared.
In the sea of flowers, a large bulb emerged from under the ground. It slowly opened, and Alice emerged, looking beat up, but smiling meaningfully. Her eyes were full of rage. “I’ve underestimated you all, but do you really think you’ve succeeded…?”
Alice, who was covered in burns, touched the ground and began healing by sucking the power of corruption.
