Chapter 104 Elementals (2/2)

Soran threw a flying knife out and it was instantly deflected by the tough rock, leaving only a minor scratch on the surface.

Attack useless!

This was how difficult it was to deal with an Elemental. The Earth Elemental, in this case, had a natural layer of rock armor. It was capable of nullifying any attack that was below 10 physical damage.

Needless to say, they were practically hitting a rock. But this rock was definitely bigger, and angrier.

...

It was twice as powerful as the Snake Demon. Even though it was just at the challenge rating of A-, it was still a creature that was difficult to deal with. Soran and Aladdin swooped in from the right and left. They twisted and leaped agilely, avoiding the Earth Elementals' waving arms. The huge rocky arms whistled with strong winds as it swung. The two jumped up at the same time, waving their weapons, slicing and puncturing the thinner weaker parts of the Earth Elemental. The monster's body was partly made of soil. Its trunk and limbs were made of rock, but its joints were formed from soil.

Ting! Tang! Tung!

The curved sword in Soran's hand sliced at the Earth Elemental while at the same time dodging its heavy attacks. The attack speed of the enemy was obviously slower.

Suddenly, a row of data appeared in front of Soran.

”Hit!”

”You've sliced the Earth Elemental three times!...causing 5, 4, 3 physical damage!..”

”Successfully provoked the target.”

Soran's palm was slightly numb after cutting through the soil and hitting the rocks underneath. The vibrations from hitting the rocks were very strong. He was basically cutting a big boulder, which, unlike cutting into flesh and bone, was somewhat pleasurable. Aladdin's dexterous figure landed on the sides, dodging the attacks from the Earth Elemental. Then, he seized the opportunity to jump up again and stab the enemy in its arm joint. Both their weapons were of somewhat good quality so they were still sharp and did not chip. After the battle though, that might not be the case.

”Attack the joints of the left and right legs.”, Soran said in a low voice as he passed through underneath the Earth Elemental and slashed at the enemy's knees, where it was a softer soil structure. Supernatural creatures that had humanoid forms had to obey common rules such as not being able to move after losing its legs.

Ting! Ting! Tang!

A series of sparks flew out, the two moved like butterflies, and they slashed at the enemy. In just a minute or two, the knees of Earth Elemental were hit more than ten times and had reached a critical point. Finally, the legs and lower limbs of the Earth Elemental were broken. But, to Soran's surprise, the monster was still able to move with his thighs without the support of his calves. However, it's sense of balance and speed declined drastically, achieving the purpose of their attack.

Soran cut it twelve times, and the cumulative damage was about 60. Aladdin may have attacked more, but the damage dealt may have not been more than him. The Earth Elemental was a level 15 creature, this meant that it had 150 base health. As a supernatural Elemental lifeform, it also had an additional health point of about 100, that is to say, that its health may be close to 300 points, which was higher than many high-grade Fighters.

Still, the threat from the Earth Elemental was no longer high. The two jumped around it and attacked it more often; the combined attack was estimated to be more than a hundred slices. Their attacks eventually weakened the energy core of Elemental. Per Soran's instructions, the Halfling stopped his attacks. Finally, he successfully landed the last hit and ended the Earth Elemental.

Their weapons had taken some damage, but their reward was pretty good.

”Successful hit.”
