Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 264 Nemesis
"His health is so high!" Aqua Rose frowned involuntarily.
More health meant a longer fight, requiring even more DPS. Even the toughest level 10, twenty-man Hell Mode dungeon boss only had 700,000 HP, and no team had cleared it yet. This 880,000 health pool seemed hopeless.
However, Fire Dance and the others didn't seem to mind, simply waiting for Shi Feng's command.
Seeing the eager looks on their faces, Shi Feng smiled and said, "Cola, go try it first. Gluttonous Mouse, focus on healing. Everyone else, carefully observe the Boss's movements and habits, and record a video. Then we'll figure out a strategy."
Fried Justin, as the Knight Commander of the Demon Castle, was extremely violent in close combat. Even with Cola's excellent equipment, he couldn't withstand more than three hits. Other MTs would probably only last two.
Besides his extremely high attack power, as a heavily armored knight, his defense was naturally exceptional. Having been transformed into a demon, his innate magic resistance was also very high, making him a Boss with almost no weaknesses.
Fried Justin had two main skills that could wipe out the team if they weren't careful.
The Hell Mode difficulty only amplified these two skills, making him even more difficult to deal with.
The first skill was Demon Summon. Every so often, he would summon three Demon Servants. If these three Demon Servants weren't killed within a certain time, they would return to Fried Justin's body and restore his health. In Hard Mode, each Demon Servant restored 3% of Fried Justin's health, but in Hell Mode, it was 5%, so they had to be taken down.
The second skill was Death Strike. Fried Justin would designate a player and throw his spear, dealing massive damage and reducing their movement speed by 60% and defense by 100%. Then, Fried Justin would charge at the designated player. No player could be between Fried Justin and the designated player, or they would die. The designated player also had to run as far as possible, just to survive for 10 seconds.
These two skills made it seem almost hopeless. In addition, Fried Justin had many other minor skills, but as long as they dodged in time, they weren't too problematic.
After Cola and Gluttonous Mouse tried a few times, everyone realized how powerful Fried Justin was. If they were hit by his greatsword, even Cola would lose more than 1400 health points. Other classes would be taken down in two hits. Moreover, his attack speed wasn't slow, swinging his sword twice a second without any problems. To succeed, they had to coordinate well. Not only did the MT have to dodge, but other melee classes also had to learn how to disrupt the Boss's attack rhythm.
"Let's start the fight!"
After Shi Feng finished explaining everything, everyone took their positions, almost completely surrounding Fried Justin. Cola charged directly at Fried Justin, while Ye Wumian waited on the side for the three Demon Servants.
Compared to attacking elite monsters, Cola's damage against Fried Justin was much lower, only dealing a little over a hundred damage. The others also began to attack.
However, everyone quickly noticed something: his defense was truly too high. Cola had been attacking alone before, so no one had noticed how high Fried Justin's defense was.
Lonely Snow, a Berserker, only dealt a little over two hundred damage with an axe strike to Fried Justin's back. Even with the armor-piercing effect stacked, it barely reached three hundred.
As for the newcomers, it was even worse.
"His defense is too high," Aqua Rose, a damage cannon, bombarded him for a long time, and the highest damage she dealt was only a little over five hundred points.
"Shadow Burst!"
Hei Zi didn't dare to hold back, directly using the skill he learned in the Four-Color Trial. Five black beams shot towards Fried Justin's back with a whooshing sound.
-736, -741, -726, -732, -738. Five damage numbers appeared above Fried Justin's head.
Shi Feng was also hacking away from behind, dealing significantly less damage than Hei Zi. His normal attacks only dealt a little over a hundred damage, but triggering the Abyssal Blade's Curse and the Wind Lightning Flash's damage amplification allowed him to deal more damage.
Because he was a Hell Mode Boss, the effects of the Abyssal Blade's Curse and the Wind Lightning Flash were greatly weakened, but the combination of the two still reduced Fried Justin's strength by about 15%.
At the same time, Shi Feng turned off the One Versus Ten Thousand title and activated the Demon Hunter title, which would also weaken Fried Justin a bit.
This reduced Fried Justin's strength to only 80% of what it was before, which undoubtedly reduced the pressure on everyone.
"Guild Leader, the passive skill attached to your weapon, and your title are too awesome. You've single-handedly lowered the difficulty of this Boss by a whole level," Cola said with a laugh, because he was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.
Aqua Rose's eyes also lit up. A Boss that had seemed hopeless now had a glimmer of hope because of Shi Feng's skills and title.
"It seems I'll have to get more titles like that in the future. It'll be much easier to fight Bosses," Aqua Rose said, looking at Shi Feng's title with envy. However, she also knew that such titles were definitely very difficult to obtain, and she would have to ask Shi Feng how he got them later.
After knocking off almost 10% of Fried Justin's health, Shi Feng saw that the time was almost up, so he said loudly in the team channel, "Ye Wumian, get ready to take over the aggro. Everyone, switch targets immediately and kill the small monsters. Fire Dance and I will cooperate with Cola to restrain the Boss."
Everyone was a seasoned player, handpicked by Shi Feng, and wouldn't make such basic mistakes.
"Damn invaders, guards, drive them away!" Fried Justin roared.
Immediately, three Demon Servants ran into the arena from outside. Each Demon Servant was an elite, with 40,000 health points, for a total of 120,000 health points.
The Demon Servants' defense was much lower than the Boss's, so they were much faster to kill.
Especially with Hei Zi's powerful firepower, they quickly took down the three Demon Servants.
They switched back to attacking the Boss.
Throughout the battle, Shi Feng had almost no chance to deal damage, because Fried Justin's attacks were too sharp. Perhaps because there were more people attacking this time, Fried Justin's attack pattern had changed. Each swing of his greatsword forced Cola into a dead corner, leaving him nowhere to dodge. However, the others couldn't find a place to interrupt Fried Justin's rhythm. Fire Dance could find a spot and react, but her strength was too weak, and the effect wasn't good enough, so they could only rely on Shi Feng. Otherwise, if Cola kept getting hit by the greatsword and accidentally suffered a small skill, the healers wouldn't be able to keep up, and the result would still be a team wipe.
When Fried Justin's health dropped to 78%, Fried Justin finally couldn't help but use Death Strike.
The designated player was Shi Feng.
Shi Feng immediately turned and ran away. Once designated, if Fried Justin got close, unless he activated invincibility, he would definitely die, no questions asked.
Fried Justin pulled out a silver spear and swung it forcefully at Shi Feng. A silver light flashed, tearing through the air and creating a sonic boom as it flew towards Shi Feng.
This move could only be blocked, not dodged, so Shi Feng turned and used Parry.
The long spear stabbed into the Abyssal Blade, creating dazzling sparks. Shi Feng took more than ten steps back before stabilizing his body, but his hands were completely numb, and he almost couldn't hold the sword. Looking at the Abyssal Blade, there was a clearly visible scratch on the blade.
"This move is too powerful. It can damage even a magic weapon. If it were a Mithril-grade weapon, it would be destroyed directly. Even an Adamantite-grade weapon would probably be in danger," Shi Feng secretly rejoiced that he hadn't used Silver Lake, or the sword would have been ruined.
After blocking Fried Justin's spear, Fried Justin was furious. He ignored Cola and charged towards Shi Feng.
Shi Feng directly activated Windwalk, increasing his speed by 30%, and began to circle the arena.
Because he wasn't injured by the spear, Shi Feng wasn't slowed down. No matter how Fried Justin chased, he couldn't catch up, resulting in Shi Feng kiting him for ten seconds.
Fried Justin's two main skills were easily dealt with by everyone. No matter how many times Fried Justin used them, the result was the same. More than ten minutes later, even when Fried Justin activated Berserk, he couldn't reverse the situation, because Cola could activate Protection Blessing, and there was also Arcane Guard's skill, Arcane Shield, which was equivalent to nine seconds of invincibility. The skill reset, and he managed to withstand the 20 seconds of Berserk.
Finally, Fried Justin let out an unwilling scream, then fell to the ground, dropping a pile of glittering items.
