Chapter 689: The Situation Was Under Control

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Ruo had entered the attacking range and was immediately targeted by the Blazing Kirin before he was able to finish gathering his magic.

Blazing Kirin released an intense flame that covered the entire area that engulfed Judge and Qin Ruo entirely!

Qin Ruo, however, did not fret as a Fire Element spell would not be effective against him. Blazing Kirin’s flame effect and high temperature that could ignore defense would penetrate Qin Ruo’s shield, but considering it was simply an AoE spell, the spell would not be a threat to Qin Ruo for now.

At the same time, the White Vixens that stood thirty meters behind Qin Ruo started to cast their Heal which healed Qin Ruo.

It was then when Qin Ruo’s barrier broke after he received several attacks from Blazing Kirin. Still, he did not fret. Brazen and confident, he flapped his Angelic Wings gracefully in the sky and continued gathering his magic …

These were the perks of being a Tier 6 player!

As he fused himself with a Divinity Crystal, Qin Ruo would not need to worry about falling to the ground if he was being hit by the AoE spell. This too made him not worry about being injured by Blazing Kirin’s melee attack.

Additionally, Fire Element spells did not have the effect of the other Elements. As long as those White Vixens were here, Qin Ruo did not need to worry about falling to the ground after being hit by Blazing Kirin.

After some time, and without distraction by the surroundings, Qin Ruo had finally finished channeling a Tier 4 Water Element spell—Lycan Barrage!

Roar!

“…”

Lava Infernal… Who would have expected that Qin Ruo could have successfully channelled his Tier 4 Water Element spell in a place that had no Water Elements, and where only fire existed.

However, Homme Fatale and Black Rock did not expect much from Qin Ruo’s Lycan Barrage. The spell had indeed finished channelling by now, but their enemy was a Fire Element Divine Boss. The Divine Boss would surely possess high resistance against Fire and Water Element damage, and it would not be surprising even if the Divine Boss had full resistance against damage from a Water Element.

Somehow, deep within their hearts, both Homme Fatale and Black Rock still hoped that Qin Ruo’s Lycan Barrage would work. At least, by holding on to that hope, the battle would pass a little easier.

Nevertheless, if the spell was totally ineffective, it would mean that their operation this time had failed…

They had already summoned a team of White Vixens, and used quite a lot potions and boosters but would still need to spend ten hours or more to kill the Divine Boss? To them, this was something ridiculous!

“…”

Hence, this decisive move would determine if the party was able to continue in the Graveyard of the Gods or not!

“Go!”

Qin Ruo waved one of his arms and all the water wolf skulls bared their fangs instantly. One after another, the water wolf skulls flew toward Blazing Kirin which was surrounded by flames!

“…”

However, something that disappointed everyone suddenly happened!

When the water wolf skulls approached Blazing Kirin, they were melted by the flames surrounding it…

The first water wolf skull was destroyed completely. It evaporated into a flurry of boiling bubbles inside Blazing Kirin’s body.

The second water wolf skull fared no better and ended up with the same fate too.

When Violet Orchid and the rest saw this scene, they frowned in despair and drew in a deep breath. They even started to think about the possibility of retreating from the area…

It looked like the operation could not just depend on four people that could sacrifice themselves anytime to wreak some damage to the Divine Boss. This area was indeed not suitable for them to continue!

Even the powerful Qin Ruo started to think of giving up. He was thinking if he should lure Blazing Kirin away giving everyone the opening to escape from the area. After that, he would have Violet Orchid cast her Resurrection on him so that he could eventually leave this area as well.

Nevertheless…

The following things that would happen to Blazing Kirin cheered Qin Ruo up.

The third water wolf skull was semi-evaporated but it successfully hit Blazing Kirin! The system showed that the attack was ineffective, but Qin Ruo could feel something coming…

After Lycan Barrage hit Blazing Kirin, the flames surrounding the Divine Boss weakened considerably.

Even Blazing Kirin felt that its survival was being threatened. The Divine Boss stopped its AoE spell and changed to casting multiple magic attacks instead. It wanted to directly target Qin Ruo and kill him!

Such a move from Blazing Kirin greatly surprised Qin Ruo.

“Wow! Looks like we got a chance now!”

It was then when Qin Ruo suddenly came up with an idea…

The Water Element that had been evaporated by the flames immediately gathered above Blazing Kirin’s head!

At the same time, the White Vixen that was initially supporting Judge had suddenly changed its target towards Qin Ruo who was then being healed immediately!

This scene had astonished Violet Orchid…

“…”

Roar!

After the water wolf skulls were completely channeled, they immediately charged towards Blazing Kirin again, despite the ineffective attacks that they previously inflicted on the Divine Boss.

This time… Violet Orchid finally saw something!

It turned out that every time the water wolf skull hit Blazing Kirin, the Divine Boss’ flame outside its body weakened. In addition to that benefit, the following water of the wolf skull would also take more time to get evaporated!

This discovery astonished Homme Fatale and Black Rock…

Barrier!

Such was the power of Blazing Kirin’s barrier! But it was different from other ordinary barriers. Blazing Kirin’s barrier was very aggressive and would initiate attacks. When it encountered the Water Element spell, it would reduce its damage.

If not for the continuous attacks from the Lycan Barrage, such a phenomenon would not have been discovered… Without the discovery, it was a high possibility that the party would have thought that Blazing Kirin was immune to Water Element spells and they would have given up on the operation.

Right now…

Heh!

Since they were the ones who made the discovery, it was time for Blazing Kirin to pay for what it had done.

upon seeing this, Qin Ruo smirked instantly…

The fire barrier was only effective against a Water Element spell. This proved that Blazing Kirin was afraid of Water Element spells and hence created this barrier.

Therefore, the previous assumption that Blazing Kirin had a high resistance against Water Element damage and immune to Water Element spell was invalid!

Soon, as expected, subsequent consecutive attacks had destroyed Blazing Kirin’s fire barrier outside its body!

Growl!

Blazing Kirin howled furiously. The Divine Boss cast several Fire Element spells on Qin Ruo, but it was alas, rather ineffective.

The total damage that Qin Ruo sustained was only one thousand and five hundred damage after a round of attack.

Unlike the Divine Boss who had nothing to back it up, numerous White Vixens stood behind Qin Ruo. At this time, Judge was already out of Blazing Kirin’s target.

Each White Vixen was able to recover two hundred HP points per second. Added up, one round of recovery from all the White Vixens were more than enough to fully heal the damage had been dealt on Qin Ruo by Blazing Kirin !

While instructing the Lycan Barrage, Qin Ruo’s hand held a vial of Rootless Elixir. In the case of the slightest hint that anything had gone wrong, he would immediately consume that elixir!

Under Qin Ruo’s continuous attacks, the positive results from the combat log had notified everyone.

Target hit! Dealt 1029 damage on Blazing Kirin!

Target hit! Dealt 1556 damage on Blazing Kirin!

Target hit! Dealt 1991 damage on Blazing Kirin!

The damage dealt on Blazing Kirin increased significantly and in only just one round, Qin Ruo had dealt a whopping six thousand plus damage to the Divine Boss…

“The damage is so high?”

Despite the happy occasion, Black Rock was silent again.

Even for a normal Divine monster, such damage from a Tier 4 spell would already be considered as high, not to mention that the target was a Divine Boss!

Meanwhile, Violet Orchid was speculating about the reasons for the high damage in the Party’s Channel.

“This should be because of the environment.”

“The Lava Infernal is a bad location for an Aquamancer. Hence, the Fire Element monster here should not have much resistance towards a Water Element already. I believe this is the same situation as our boss.”

“…”

“Homme Fatale! Black Rock!”

“Take action!”

“Don’t lure the boss’ hatred over…” Qin Ruo yelled immediately.

It was not necessary for him to explain things in detail to Homme Fatale and Black Rock as he knew they both already understood that the previous plan had failed. Right now they needed to maintain and balance their damage output to ensure that they would not lure the Divine Boss’ hatred.

As long as Blazing Kirin’s continued to target Qin Ruo, the operation would be successful if they carefully balanced their damage output towards the Divine Boss.

After all, they dealt six thousand damage to the Divine Boss every two seconds. After reducing Blazing Kirin’s HP recovery, they still could deal two thousand or more damage per second to the Divine Boss.

With this, it should not be a problem to finish the battle in half an hour.

For a party with only ten players, it was already a miracle to kill a Divine Boss within half an hour.

“…”

After ten minutes!

“Shit! The attack damage multiplied… Purgatory Field…”

“Be careful everyone!”

Blazing Kirin’s damage had increased significantly under the heat of the increasing temperature of the surroundings. Now, for every round of attack, Qin Ruo’s HP would drop about three thousand.

The damage Qin Ruo received caused his HP to decrease rapidly, but just as rapid was White Vixens’ heal that recovered his HP at the same time. The heart-stopping process of Qin Ruo’s HP continuously falling and rising made everyone in the party nervous, as if their hearts were going to jump out of their mouths!

Even Qin Ruo himself was frightened about his HP that went close to empty before being full again…

After a few rounds of attacks, Qin Ruo drank a Rootless Elixir to fully recover his HP. At the same time, he quickly took out an Advanced Vitality Potion from his Ring of Honor and drank it to increase his HP limit by five hundred points.

Qin Ruo felt slightly relieved as his HP limit was now increased to over four thousand…

Suddenly, a bird-like Thunder Element object hit Blazing Kirin’s body…

It was the Thunderbird Slash!!!

Just as the Thunderbird Slash hit the Divine Boss, Qin Ruo’s HP also fully recovered under Radiant Priests’ recovery!

“Continue!”

Roar!

Blazing Kirin was paralyzed for two seconds after being hit by the Thunderbird Slash. After that, it recovered and reverted back to its aggressive stance. This time, it became even more furious, as if it wanted to devour the Aquamancer that it could not kill for such a long time.

Unfortunately…

Just when the Aquamancer was left with only two hundred plus HP and having the Divine Boss thinking that it was going to get its kill, a golden ray of light suddenly burst from Qin Ruo’s shoulder!

The attack missed!

Blazing Kirin was startled that its attack had missed. It roared furiously at the sky! However, the human’s HP had again been fully recovered by then.
