Chapter 634: Purgatory of Ice and Magma (2/2)
Clang, clang, clang...
The Mad Warrior’s battle axe shook my Ghost Deity Armor repeatedly, dropping my HP like a rock. After that, he actually scored a critical hit on me, which instantly dropped me below 20% HP!
”Ah! Lu Chen, be careful!” Murong Mingyue cried in alarm.
I immediately used Tenacity of the Dead along with a Saint Spirit Potion VIII, recovering a huge chunk of my health.
+15310!
+5000!
Murong Mingyue’s timely heals also allowed me to keep pressing forward. It was too bad that I couldn’t equip a shield. If not, given my superlative skills, I’d be able to make my attack and defense even more perfect.
When our desperate struggle neared the thirty minute mark, I saw that the Mad Warrior’s HP had dropped to around 50%. We started to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
”Let’s keep up the good work! Another thirty minutes should do it!” Murong Mingyue said with a laugh. ”Well, as long as Buffett doesn’t spring a surprise on us of course!”
However, hoping that a Heaven Rank boss wouldn’t spring a surprise on you was like wishing for a miracle in a world with no gods!
”Awhoooo!”
The Mad Warrior Buffett suddenly let out a furious howl when his HP dropped to about 40%. He leaped high into the air before crashing down, heavily smashing his battle axe into the ground. The ground started to violently shake as countless glowing red spikes shot out from it. This was his Purgatory of Ice and Magma skill. It cracked open the land and caused countless glowing hot spikes to jut from the ground. Gouts of magma started to spurt up from the cracks in the ground as spears of ice started pouring down from the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Huge explosions rang out all around us and we didn’t even have a chance to run away or heal ourselves as a 100-yard area was instantly engulfed by Buffett’s skill. The back of the Roland Imperial Palace was also destroyed as the Purgatory of Ice and Magma quickly reduced it to rubble!
”Oh no, I’m dead…”
Murong Mingyue stood fixed in place as she helplessly looked at the ground crack beneath her feet. Countless gouts of scarlet magma shot out of the ground as blades of ice continued to pour down from the sky, completely shredding her priest shield apart!
”Urgh…”
Murong Mingyue slowly collapsed to the floor as three damage numbers that exceeded 10000 damage each popped up above her head. She had died!
He Yi and I flew backward swiftly, but it was already too late. Sharp spears of ice and gouts of magma constantly assaulted us and our HP started to drop at a crazy speed. The Snow Domain Windchaser gave a shrill whinny as it collapsed to the ground, causing He Yi to fall into a pool of magma as well. I was on my last legs as well, so I hurriedly activated my invincibility skill—Shield of Evening!
Whooosh!
My invincibility skill activated, but it would only last for twelve seconds. However, the Mad Warrior was still madly pursuing me!
……
In the party chat.
Murong Mingyue: ”Hey, the graveyard is at the border of the ruined altar outside the palace. It’s quite near to where we were…”
He Yi: Yeah. Lu Chen, hold on! Mingyue and I are charging over right now! It’ll take three minutes at most…”
……
I couldn’t help but cry out: ”Three minutes?! How the heck am I supposed to hold on until then?”
As I said that, I used the Phantom Wolf King to obstruct Buffett’s path. I used this time to run far away from the Mad Warrior, but I still frequently turned around to shoot Dragon Slaying Slashes to keep his attention on me. I couldn’t afford to die! I had to keep the boss in combat mode. The moment he left combat mode, his HP regeneration would be ten times greater than normal and he would go back to full health in the matter of minutes. This wasn’t something we could handle.
I ran straight out of the palace’s grand hall and I saw the two dots that represented He Yi and Murong Mingyue rushing toward me on the minimap.
Pchht….
The Mad Warrior’s blood-colored axe kept cleaving into the Phantom Wolf King’s hide. This punk’s attack power was simply insane and the Phantom Wolf King could barely hold on!
”Ah! Lu Chen, hold on! We’re almost there!”
He Yi soon caught sight of me and she spurred her warhorse forward. However, my poor Phantom Wolf King died before she could catch up to me and the Mad Warrior leaped at me from behind! He immediately unleashed Broadsword Storm once he was in striking distance!
I hurriedly turned around and raised my Cyan Netherworld Sword in front of me! Guard!
Clang!
My sword shook violently as the last of my health disappeared. A sinister grin appeared on the Mad Warrior’s face as he snarled, ”Heh, lowly undead, time to meet your maker!”
Crack!
His axeblade whistled through the air and I limply fell to the ground. Fuck me, I died!
Ding~!
