As the Follower of Archede's power grew massively, Brother Mikoto entered a difficult battle, and was almost killed by it…
However, that was all within Zhang Yun's expectations. Since being an Elite Boss, it was expected to have at least this level of power.
Hm?
Please, did one really think that an Elite Boss would be such an easy enemy to defeat?
A Three-Star Hero that did not get its full setup could solo it?
That being said, Zhang Yun did not expect that the first phase of the Follower of Archede was so weak that it could not even touch Brother Mikoto.
Even if it unleashed an AoE attack and chipped away Brother Mikoto's health, it would not have lost that much dignity.
However, its second phase was quite powerful, especially when it could instantly recover and spit out poison over a large area. Its speed and power were also far greater than its first phase. If it was not because of Brother Mikoto's high evasion and agility, it would have been killed by its foot.
"While you are quite powerful, this is where you die.
"Because… I have arrived.
"Elemental Group One!
"30 meters in front! Chain Lightning! Ice Spike! Spitfire! Union Burst attack!
"Group Two, after Group One has finished, go for a second round and cover the area 50 meters away!
"Group Three, continue afterward and bomb in front! Do not give it any time to react and dodge!"
Following Zhang Yun's yelling, three elementals of different colors floated into the sky and gathered the magical elements within the air, and then threw a "nuclear bomb" towards the magical beast horde in front of them that did not notice their existence.
Boom!
Powerful energies fell from the heavens. Ice, fire, and lightning melded together in a strange way, ravaging the earth and clearing out all magical beasts within that area.
"What?!
"What is that?"
The Follower of Archede was shocked and it raised its head, looking at where the explosion came from. The tall buildings in the city had blocked its sight, and that was why it could not see where the loud noise came from.
On the other side, Brother Mikoto was using the time that it was distracted to quickly roll away, stand up, and rush out of the thick poison mist.
Once his vision had cleared up, Brother Mikoto once again picked up his weapon. Burning fire appeared from his palm and extended onto its blade.
"Tsk, a small island like this would have so many troublesome people…"
The Follower of Archede slowly walked out of the poison mist as it watched Brother Mikoto carefully, with murderous intent clear in its eyes.
"Looks like I will have to eliminate you first.
"Die!"
The Follower of Archede was once again on the move, its gigantic body was like a truck running at full speed, and came before Brother Mikoto with an unstoppable force.
Its claws were like a violent storm as it raised the dust and the air whistled.
Bang!
The blade and claws crashed into each other, and the powerful force was delivered into both their bodies. Instantly, Brother Mikoto coughed out blood and was sent flying a dozen meters.
As for the Follower of Archede, it suffered no injuries at all.
It puffed some hot air out from its nose and said, "Hmph! You are still not dead? You are quite a durable one?
"Then I will unleash even more power!
"Charge Up!
"Star Rush!"
Instantly purple energy began to radiate from the Follower of Archede's body. As it ran, its movement speed once again surged, to the point where the naked eye could not track its trace.
With such a speed, even Brother Mikoto could not fully avoid it. He raised his katana to block it, hoping to reduce as much damage as possible.
Bang!
-5,620!
The attack came straight for the follower, Brother Mikoto was thrown into the air. The giant red damage floated from his head, and he finally fell down to the ground.
'He should be dead, right?
'However, despite being hit by such an attack, he only lay down for a while before standing up again and held up the katana that was still burning in flames.
'What?'
The Follower of Archede was shocked, "What? How can you still be alive after being hit by my Star Rush?"
With that, Zhang Yun could not help but burst into laughter.
'Ha?
'Do you think you are only fighting Brother Mikoto alone?
'I'm sorry, he is not the only one. You are fighting me too, a Ten-Year Hoarder Summoner!
'Now… I will show you the true power of ten years worth of hoarding!'
Rumble!
The rumbling sound came again, and another group of magical beasts were evaporated by the elementals' Union Burst. Zhang Yun and the others were quickly approaching the plaza.
On the other side, Brother Mikoto also quickly extended his hand into his pocket and took out a vial. He began drinking it.
At that moment, the wounds on his body quickly recovered as green numbers that only Zhang Yun could see jumped out from his head – 10,000!
The Follower of Archede, "???"
'Instant heal potions?!
'Damn it, no wonder the kid did not die after being hit twice! Not only did he not die, but he also did not have any signs of being seriously injured…
'But who is he?
'How could he have such valuable items?
'Can it be that he is a helper hired by that person? But if he was really that person's helper, why would he not go and help that person, but came here to protect a platform that was not considered quite important?
'Can it be that he did not know that that person was our only target?
'The life and death of all other insects are irrelevant to us. Summoning the magical beast horde was also only to cause chaos, and make it easier to tell their other companions that the target had reached this place…
Just as the Follower of Archede was stunned, Zhang Yun had once again cut short the distance between them. Another round of Union Burst blasted the streets.
Boom!
After several bombings, Zhang Yun had finally reached the entrance of the plaza. He followed the trails of flames on the ground and the green, poisonous gas in the air, he could already see the giant purple wolf in the middle of the plaza.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yun stared at the giant purple wolf and activated his legacy skill.
"Examine!"
