Chapter 592 - Ice Abyss Totem (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After equipping the Snow Ring, the team got an additional status—Ice Queen’s Dignity! The Ice Half-Centaurs would not attack them now. If anyone left the protection area of the Snow Ring, this effect would wear off.
With this status, the team finally did not need to worry about the Ice Half-Centaurs along their journey.
Lin Jie guessed that this status’ main motive was to provide players with the ability to explore the side-maps. Although that was the case, he had no intention to explore the side-maps now. The map did indeed have many side tracks that contained items, which could help players in their following conquests, but this did not mean that every team had to pursue after such items. When players were strong enough, they could just get by with their own skills!
“Zeh, zeh… This troop of Half-Centaurs is now so obedient like they are my grandsons. Heh…” Zheng Ziliang walked arrogantly amongst the Half-Centaurs and laughed. “With the Snow Ring, does it mean that we can battle the Boss directly already? Won’t it be especially thrilling to earn EXP and equipment in this manner?”
“How can it be that easy? Before the Ice Queen dies, the Snow Ring will not be effective. If not, everyone would have spent all their energy on getting this item.” Lin Jie rolled his eyes.
The team walked smoothly among the Ice Half-Centaurs, and ignored all other side tracks. Very soon, they reached a crystal door.
This door looked like an ancient Chinese establishment’s door, and on both sides of the door were symbols of sturdy horses.
As the team did not explore any side maps, they didn’t have the key to open the door. Lin Jie gave a single order, “Smash it!”
No matter what, a door was just, simply a door. Even a crystal door wasn’t able to withstand all sorts of flames, burning, and bombs. Soon enough, the crystal door was shattered to pieces by all the blasts.
Behind the door, the team was greeted with a scenery entirely different from what they had seen on the Ice Castle map. It was just a piece of barren land, and a horn-like totem stood in the middle of this wide plains. Ice crystals revolved around the totem, like a tornado, and one could hear thunder from the skies occasionally.

“Well, my identifying skill’s grade is too low. Seems like I’ll need another Scout-type skill soon,” muttered Lin Jie softly to himself. He could still roughly remember that the Ice Abyss Totem had around 2,200-2,700 Attack. As for the other stats, he couldn’t recall much of them already.
Weng—
The Abyss Totem vibrated slightly and started speaking in an alluring tone. “Adventurers from afar… Bow to me, and sacrifice your souls to me… I will give you great powers in exchange…”
“Breathless, go.” Lin Jie made a series of movements, and various Command Markings jumped out. Most of the time, Command Markings were not as useful as verbal instruction, but during perfervid battles, Command Markings could instruct people where to go. When used together with verbal instructions, the team’s efficiency would increase.
Mixed Breathless activated Lion Strength and Defense Stance, and charged towards the Abyss Totem. The totem’s horn shimmered continuously, which made Mixed Breathless feel threatened. Immediately after, the ice crystals surrounding the Abyss Totem transformed into eagles and flew straight at him.
“Angry Lion’s Roar!” With a loud roar from Mixed Breathless, he stunned all the eagles in mid-air. The next moment, he raised his shield and slammed it against the eagles. At the same time, he reached the Abyss Totem’s front and attracted the Boss’ aggro with a series of Aggro Combo Attack.
Other than being able to use an Advanced Ice Mage’s skills, the Abyss Totem also had a passive skill [Ice Health], which allowed it to summon servant Ice creatures every 30 seconds to fight for it. This skill would evolve when the Boss’ health bar fell to around 50%, and it would then be able to summon permanent, powerful creatures to fight for it.
Ssss—ssss—
After a flash of light, the Abyss Totem activated the Level 70 Ice Mage’s skill [Iced Tornado] and swirled up Mixed Breathless. A 3,000 Damage Dealt jumped up above his head—this was just a single skill! What’s more, Mixed Breathless already had the Ice Resistance buffs from the Snow Ring. If not for this ring, this skill would have caused at least 6,000 or more damage points, killing him instantly!
“Attack together!” shouted Lin Jie.
The method to take down the Boss at this stage was very simple—just attack. Other than that, if there was only one person within 20 meters around the Boss, it would not use any AOE skills. As for the single-unit attacks, Mixed Breathless would be able to handle it—after all, 60 Ice Resistance Points were not to be trifled with!
Sea King Scaly Armor!
Heart of Enrage!
Blood Power!
Death Rage!
…
Lin Jie gave off increasingly violent vibes. Meanwhile, Broken Blade was covered with flames and adorned with lightning—he activated all sorts of skills! These actions sent a message to the rest of the team—just use whatever damage output skills they had!
“Fire Dragon!” chanted Fat Cattle at the top of his voice. A small Fire Dragon burst out at his calling, and one breath from it engulfed near 10,000 health points from the Abyss Totem!
“Element Whirlpool!” Baili Changcheng smashed all the Power of the Elements he had into a whirlpool, and blasted them upon the Abyss Totem! Element Whirlpool was the Elemental Sword Artists’ greatest damage output skill, which would temporarily destroy all the skills the Elemental Sword Artist owned and hence deal a great blow to the target!
“Fighting Explosion!”
“Thunderbolt Arrow!”
