Chapter 819 - Crack (1/2)
In the end, with great effort, they managed to kill all four of the slimes. Zhang Zhengxiong stared at the corpses and mumbled, “They wouldn’t clump together right?”
“Again?! Hey!” Just when SpyingBlade shouted and was getting enraged again, the four crystals shot up facing the sky, combined together and landed on the ground once again, preparing to absorb the lava. Though lethargic from never ending rounds of attack, they had no choice but to quickly attack the crystal like mad and drunk people who were about to drop dead at any time. At last, it came to their surprise and relief that the crystal dimmed before it could absorb any more lava. Yet, Zhang Zhengxiong was still curious, “Do you think it will self-explode?”
“Dodge!” SpyingBlade shouted and hid under the solidified lava hill. A few close-ranged combaters followed. Meanwhile, LordAsked and the others took cover at a corner underneath his shield.
“Oh, there’s no way he jinxes it every time.” As ThornyRose finished her last word, the yellow crystal shined a glimmering gold light and it was unstable.
Ye Cang immediately went into the crack on the stoned wall with Shadow Step. Hey, there’s a treasure pack here. Why didn’t I notice it earlier? Hehe…
Meanwhile, NalanPureSoul and some of the rest hid behind the rock pillar. VastSea and ThornyRose sandwiched them, prepared to obstruct the flow of the explosion.
Equipped with extreme tank attributes Zhang Zhengxiong had, he was the only one who was not really afraid of the explosion. However, he also knew that he could not endure all the damage. As long as I’m not dead, my own skills can recover my health. I don’t even need Little Ye Tian or AV’s help. Hmm…I guess I have the wisdom of Little Ye Tian’s or at least somewhere close?
“That fella is really a jinx. Life is really hard…” LordAsked smiled bitterly. That fella has top-class equipment, top-notch instincts, many healing skills, and high resistance but he doesn’t have brains!
“Everything I said came true. Will it split into a bunch of lava slimes after the explosion? I don’t believe it!” Zhang Zhengxiong’s words gave them a shock of their lives.
“Boom!” The crystal exploded. Since the damage was still within a limited range, there were no casualties. An uncountable number of crystal pieces ended up all over the place. Instantly, they all absorbed the lava and turned into hundreds of mini lava slime. ThornyRose facepalmed at the sight of such a scene, “Someone shut the hell out of him!”
“……” Staring at the mini slabs of slime, Zhang Zhengxiong said again, “Do you guys think that they will combine with each other?”
Immediately after, the slime pieces started inching closer to one another and combined themselves, forming a larger piece from every pair and the process continued.
“Quickly kill them all and stop the ‘slimy-fusion’!” CloudDragon shouted. If this continues, the boss will be reborn! The lava landscape will be formed again. Our battle spirit will be dampened and we might be forced to use the ultimate that we have been saving. This is only the second boss!
Ye Cang used the recovery magic stored in his hood and started casting Healing Tide. Waves of water splashed in the whole area, making everyone wet. He then unleashed Shadow Frost Strike until his mana had been completely depleted. He was left with no choice but to sit down to recover his mana. I can’t go down yet. Since Nana has died, I’m the only one with large area water and ice elemental magic. NalanPureSoul couldn’t do much. Summoning his flame demon was not an option either and the only skill he could use was the arcane bullets.
NalanPureSoul also predicted that he would be the least useless in this battle as the creature’s fire resistance was too high. I hope there will be some ice or water elemental boss or creatures. Or else, I’ll be a useless teammate from the beginning to the end. What a waste of my fire elemental equipment and don’t wanna look like a freeloader.
Everyone was frustrated with killing the slimes but they succeeded in the end. Realizing their victory and looking at the mess, Zhang Zhengxiong wanted to say something but SpyingBlade quickly covered his mouth. The crystals then combined and flew back to the altar quietly. There was no sign of movement anymore. Only then, SpyingBlade dared to let go of him.
