As expected, the damage dealt by Flamestrike was high enough. Just one wave killed five to six players in critical health. Then, with the next wave, another three to five died. When the third wave of Flamestrike finished, about 12-13 Adventurer Mode players had died. The amount of injured and dead players was already above half.
"Haha, let's see what you can do now." Although the tank was still alive, the DPS had been reduced by almost half, so even if they tried to buy time, Xiao Yu was confident that they would be the ones to die first. What a pity that Flamestrike could only be used three times—if it could be used a few more times, all these people would probably be wiped out.
Dragon Epitome did not despair but instead exchanged glances with Phoenix beside him, indicating for her to make a move.
Phoenix nodded and suddenly raised the sword in her hand.
"Brave warriors, the world needs you, so it is not the time for your slumber. Awaken, brave warriors, arise in the name of the Holy Light!"
AOE Resurrection!
Multiple Holy Lights descended from the sky and shone onto the bodies of the players lying on the ground. They all instantly stood up one after the other. Six players had stood up. Their HP and mana were all full after being resurrected. Immediately after, a few Druids used the Battle Rez skill and revived yet another three. The situation was instantly reversed.
"F*ck, there's such a skill? It's too unreasonable!" Xiao Yu was completely stunned. The Hero Mode was way too bug-like and overpowered. With the power of a Hero, Hero Mode players should not be counted as only five people in a dungeon—it had to be at least 20 for it to be fair.
Of course, he had known how powerful Hero skills were, and each Hero Mode player could learn an ultimate skill whose effects could change the battle situation most of the time.
In the moment Xiao Yu was in a daze, another round of attacks hit him.
Xiao Yu finally came back to his senses. Now was not the time for him to complain. He should think of how to get past the crisis in front of him now.
All three Flamestrikes had been used up. Although the skill was powerful, there was a limit to the number of times it could be used. Therefore, the skills Xiao Yu was left with were Great Flaming Fireball, Burning Trail, and the newly unlocked Elemental Door. Elemental Door was a powerful skill that could only be used once.
Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios said, "Fire Elements from the Elemental Realm, your master needs your help! In the name of Lagrios, open the door towards the Fire Elemental Plane!
Boom! A summoning circle appeared on the ground and a huge fire vortex was right in the center of the array. That was the door to the Elemental Plane. Fire Elements, Molten Golems, Magma Giants, and Flame Lizardmen had all come out of the door. Tens of the summoned monsters pounced towards the adventurers in the surroundings.
However, those adventurers did not flee. Instead, they all took out their Magic Scrolls and tore them apart. Then white lights shot towards those Elemental Creatures.
The white light from the high-grade Banish spells shone amongst the Elemental Creatures. Before these Elemental Creatures from the Fire Elemental Plane could join the battle, they were thrown back into the Elemental Realm.
"F*ck, this is ridiculous. High-grade Banish Scrolls are high-end goods that sell for $200 each in the Auction House, and they just used tens of those scrolls. They really don't lack money.
"Wait, the blue sun guild icon, super wealthy style of playing, and that team leader who seems to be full of chuunibyou. F*ck, is it possible that they're the Spring Studio from the rumors?"
Xiao Yu had finally remembered just what Light of Dawn's background was—they were most likely from the rumored Spring Studio.
This studio was quite popular within the circle of professional gamers and was quite mysterious. That was all because the studio seemed to be created by a rich second generation. The studio was not profit-oriented and normally would not be employed by the others. It was completely created for the Spring Company to advertise its own company.
That blue sun icon was the logo of that company. Because they did not lack money, the equipment and items in that studio were the best possible. It was said that the rich second generation not only had good equipment, but his skill had also reached the level of professionals. In addition, the guild members were mostly workers from the company, so everyone would listen to orders and would know to cooperate, making it so their battle power was through the roof. It seemed that the rich second generation was the guild leader of the guild itself. Was it possible it was this Dragon Epitome?
High-end players and rich players were originally fearsome existences in the game world, so when both were combined, it was not as simple as 1+1=2. The result would be unimaginable! These thoughts passed through Xiao Yu's mind and his heart was heavy.
While he was in a daze, his HP was still decreasing and he entered the P3 stage.
New skills were unlocked again. Now it was Star Storm and Explosive Burn. Unlike Flamestrike and Elemental Door, which could only be used that pitiful number of times, Star Storm was a guiding skill that could last for a long time.
Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios said, "In the name of Lagrios, the ground, the sky, all things in the world, begin burning!"
The Demonic Blaze Hammer in the Demonic Blaze Overlord's hand was pointed straight towards the sky. A cloud of scorching flames started to gather on top of his head. Then meteors started flying out from the cloud towards the ground. Each meteorite could deal up to 10,000 points of Fire damage. If normal players were hit, they would be insta killed.
What a pity that the Fire Resistance of the Adventurer team had been stacked to above 200. Not to mention the two Hero players, Dragon Epitome and Phoenix, even the HP of the normal Adventurer players had only decreased by half after being hit.
The meteorite shower lasted for quite a long time, but only two to three unlucky guys died before they could be healed after being hit consecutively. The remaining people were basically safe.
F*ck, the situation was not good. Xiao Yu really panicked this time. Was it possible that he had to use that skill? No, he should not, because if he used that skill, although he could teach Dragon Epitome a lesson, he would be finished too. This account was his source of income, so he relied on it to make a living. Being able to bring people down might seem like something cool to do, but Xiao Yu still did not wish to do so. He at least wanted to try again and strive for his survival. He allowed the system to temporarily control the Demonic Blaze Overlord while Xiao Yu directly sent a message to Dragon Epitome.
Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios: "Hey, friend, it's better for both of us if you let me go. Could you just not kill me? Don't say I didn't warn you. Don't force me to use my ultimate skill."
Dragon Epitome (Dark Avenger): "Haha, now you're afraid, right? By saying something like you're warning me? You're bluffing! Just use your ultimate skill. Do you think I'm scared? You don't need to waste your time trying to convince me, I'm hell-bent on killing you because you could at least add a star to my Hero grade. Anyway, just use whatever skill you have, I'll take them all on." After finishing, Dragon Epitome blocked Xiao Yu.
F*ck, Dragon Epitome was really not giving him a way out!
Xiao Yu hurriedly went back to the game interface. As he continued guiding the meteorites to smash towards the ground, he scolded Dragon Epitome. However, everything he said was either censored by the system or turned into chuunibyou system lines.
Such as "Foolish mortals, you will pay the price for your actions" or "Lowly ants, tremble under the great king of flames."
That was to say, the lines were quite cool, but the person trembling was the Demonic Blaze Overlord—such was what Dragon Epitome thought arrogantly as he looked at the Demonic Blaze Overlord in front of him. It was almost funny how he was nearly intimidated by the Demonic Blaze Overlord's appearance. He swung the Dark Avenger in his hands once again.
The battle was still continuing. Xiao Yu saw that he only had 1,000,000 HP left and he had already entered the last stage of being beheaded, where all the ultimate skills would be used to kill him. He would probably die in just a few minutes. Xiao Yu knew it was definitely the end for him today.
"Is it possible that I, a Three Skeleton Level 60 final Boss of a dungeon, the Demonic Blaze Overlord, will die here?
"However, even if I die, I won't let them off so easily. They made me lose my source of income, so even if I die, I'll bring down a few with me at least." Anger surged within as a wicked thought came to his mind. Xiao Yu looked at the complacent Dragon Epitome in front of him and steeled his heart. "You thought I was bluffing? Hehe."
He suddenly activated his most powerful skill, the one that dealt the most damage.
Explosive Burn: Detonate the remaining HP in one's body to create a violent explosion. It will deal Fire damage equivalent to your remaining HP to the surrounding enemies. The damage will gradually decrease the further away the explosion travels. The closer the enemy is, the higher the damage dealt. Requires a five-second channeling time.
Demonic Blaze Overlord Lagrios said, "Foolish mortals, do you think you've won? Hehe, it's too early to celebrate. Although I will die here, in the end, this world will burn!"
