Chapter 144: Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Ultimate Combat Weapon, Super Giant Dwarf, had the infinite HP resumption skill. The more HP it had, the stronger its ATK was. Similar to Fire Demon Lina, the Super Giant Dwarf only had one stage, so all one had to do was just to empty its HP to clear the level.
The Super Giant Dwarf's mouth and eyes were firing energy beams non-stop, and around it were endless flying monsterlings. In order to take it down, one must be skilled in piloting an aircraft.
In the initial stage, when the players took off in the aircrafts, they could battle at will when fighting against the elite flying monsterlings. Though when five flying-bird warplane bosses appeared, it was time for them to accumulate combos. Of course, the respawning of the monsterlings was not enough for all the party members to strike a high combo. Generally speaking, as long as 5 or 6 people in the 100-man party had reached more than 250 combos, they would meet the requirement of taking out the boss.
At present, in the party led by Li Yi, Green Umbrella Guest and him were the ones who had the highest number of combos with more than 300 strikes. As for the others, their numbers were far behind with the highest being no more than 150 combos.
The battle had begun.
The fire cannon was immediately launched. When the ordinary cannon fire hit the Super Giant Dwarf, it would only cause 3000 damage, but Li Yi's and Green Umbrella Guest's cannon fire would cause 30,000 damage. The contrast between the two clearly showed the gap between a powerful combo and a weak one.
Every one of Li Yi's ordinary Fire Projectiles would cause 1000 damage, whereas the warplanes with low combo would not even surpass 300 damage.
"Everyone, pay attention. Everyone, pay attention. No one's to attack the two Skeleton Monsterlings marked by me. Only the two monsterlings that were marked red can be attacked by Green Umbrella Guest. The rest is up to all of you. Be careful of the boss' shooting rays. Once you see its body turning red, run away immediately."
The flying monsterlings were respawning infinitely. Li Yi controlled the aircraft to stop above the Super Giant Dwarf's head and bombarded downward.
The Super Giant Dwarf could not stop screaming. As its mouth and eyes attacked with shooting rays, it swung both its huge arms around to smack the players around.
This air battle did not allow the players to pass through one another. In order to dodge the gigantic hand, many of the party members would collide with one another on and off. If they were inattentive for even a second, they would get entangled together and fall to the ground like a broken kite.
The players were not killed by the boss yet, but more than 10 people had died from colliding with each other.
Li Yi's and Green Umbrella Guest's combo number was still rising steadily, and their ATK was getting increasingly perverse.
When the Super Giant Dwarf had lost 5,000,000 HP, it was angered. Its body surface turned red, and the top of its head revealed a larger bright red number, 5. Li Yi immediately rushed to Green Umbrella Guest and shouted, "Pull a monsterling away, otherwise the combo will stop. Everyone else, pull back."
There was no need for Li Yi to shout any further. The party members had already followed his instruction, running away the moment they saw the Super Giant Dwarf turning red.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1!
The Super Giant Dwarf's body surface was like a sun exploding as it filled the whole sky red. This trick was an indiscriminate attack with no concern for the enemy or its own party.
Li Yi succeeded in pulling a flying monsterling away, but not so with Green Umbrella Guest. He did not control his attack well and instead killed the flying monsterling halfway through.
The Super Giant Dwarf's body surface continued to shoot out light beams, and the monsterlings that respawned were immediately destroyed by it. Going up against it at this time was simply a suicide mission.
"Sigh, what a pity." Green Umbrella Guest was feeling dejected.
"It's alright. Cheer up. The combo can be garnered again."
Li Yi said while he killed the flying monsterling and approached the Super Giant Dwarf.
To maintain the combo, one had to pull aggro on the monsterling. Although Green Umbrella Guest's operational skill was very strong, his experience of this dungeon was far less than Li Yi's.
"You have to pull one when the second explosion comes. As for the third explosion, run away first. Wait 'til the fifth wave of fire erupts, run up to him and use Invincibility to resist. Kill one monsterling, and then fall back." Li Yi dealt damage while patiently explaining to Green Umbrella Guest. To defeat this boss, he could do it alone. But if there was an extra pair of hands, it would ease his load a little.
As for the rest, as long as they did not die, Li Yi had no additional requirements for them.
Because there was a rich variety of ways to run the Fire Devil Dungeon, many players would still come here to battle even in the later period of the game. Of course, for the former Li Yi, the reason he chose to battle this dungeon was for EXP.
When a person killed the Super Giant Dwarf, the EXP gained was massive. In his previous life, he had spent his time here from Level 60 to Level 70. If it was not for the reason that those above Level 70 could not acquire EXP anymore, he would be reluctant to leave. One had to know that hardly anyone could defeat a 100-man dungeon boss alone.
When Li Yi's combo rose to 400+, his ATK was even more terrific. At this time, Green Umbrella Guest's combo had only reached a pitiful 50, let alone the others whose combo did not even go up to 10.
The Super Giant Dwarf was enraged again. So, Li Yi steadily pulled two flying monsterlings back, and Green Umbrella Guest did not let him down. He also had successfully pulled two away.
A red heat wave blasted into the sky, and the force of the Super Giant Dwarf's full-screen finisher was getting greater every time. Even if the players had run far enough, they would still sustain the aftermath of the attack, and all the party members' HP would be reduced by 500+.
"Continue to press forward."
Li Yi yelled, and the surviving party members continued to move forward, battling casually.
In fact, Li Yi's self-invented single combat method was rather unique, because this was a 100-man dungeon after all. It could be seen from the three types of aircraft; yellow flying-birds resisted in front, red flying-birds dealt dps, while the green flying-birds would heal them...
It did not matter if it was different. Li Yi's combat method was not a bug. The reason why King of Pantheon attracted people was that there were hundreds of ways to fight a boss. This was one of its charms.
The Super Giant Dwarf erupted for the third time, and the party fell back. When the fifth wave of fire came, Li Yi used Invincibility to rush forward. Seizing the interval moment between the explosions of fire, he successfully killed two flying monsterlings with his fire cannon and quickly retreated.
Green Umbrella Guest had also managed to strike the monsterlings, but he was unable to achieve Instant Kill with his current ATK. He could only watch the monsterlings being swallowed by the fire wave and pulled back helplessly.
His combo was interrupted again.
The interval time between the Super Giant Dwarf's explosion skills was getting shorter and shorter, and the speed of the two gigantic hands catching people was getting faster. Coupled with the energy rays coming from its mouth and eyes, one would be hit if one lost focus for even a second.
The Super Giant Dwarf's body defense was extremely strong, and the only weakness was its face. Only by hitting its face could it sustain damage.
It was too late even if Li Yi had instructed the rest on the spot. The Super Giant Dwarf turned both its gigantic hand downward, and the shooting rays from its mouth and eyes were like a lantern that was spinning non-stop. To avoid them, one could only rely on one's awareness and operational skill.
More and more party members died. When the Super Giant Dwarf's HP dropped to 8,000,000, there were only 5 members alive.
Li Yi, Green Umbrella Guest, Little Elf from the Magical Realm, the mysterious woman in black, and Chen Yang!
Fatty actually survived. This, of course, had nothing to do with operational skill because he and Little Elf from the Magical Realm would secretly attack for a few times, and then retreat every time. His damage output was really low, and he was just leeching.
"Tall Tall, what are you doing? Why aren't you going up to fight?" Fire Ice could not help but PM-ed him.
"No hurry, no hurry. Wait for the boss to calm down before battling again."
Regardless of what others said, Chen Yang and Little Elf from the Magical Realm continued in their own way. Every time, they would pull back after dealing a few strikes. Don't bother about the attack, damage or whatever as staying alive comes first.
"Sister Magic, will this really work?"
"Don't worry. Since Dark Wing dared to fight the second boss, this means that he has a clear idea of the situation and is fully prepared for what's coming. So long as we don't die, we'll be doing him a favor. Trust me, it won't go wrong."
"Okay, I'll believe in you. Oh right, Sister Magic, how old are you this year?"
"25. My daughter is 5 years old."
"Wow, you married quite early. Your husband must be a handsome guy?"
"Hehe... Not as handsome as you are."
"Bwahaha, many people say that."
Li Yi and the trio were fighting vigorously at the front, but Chen Yang and Little Elf from the Magical Realm were chatting with enthusiasm instead.
The Super Giant Dwarf was just using the same few tricks over and over again. As long as the aircraft was well-controlled, it was only a matter of time before they defeated it.
When Li Yi's combo soared to 1000+, his ATK was even more terrific. One shot fired would result in 100,000 damage, whereas the ordinary Fire Projectile could only deal 5000 of damage.
The Super Giant Dwarf's HP continued to drop. Finally, when the Super Giant Dwarf only had 500,000 HP left, it suddenly stopped in its tracks as the color of its body continued to change irregularly.
"Dup-dup, dup-dup, dup-dup!"
The Super Giant Dwarf's heart suddenly began to beat violently, and all the living party members received a prompt at the same time: [The Fire Storm is about to begin. Quickly approach the boss to avoid it. Countdown: 10... 9... 8...]
"You two, don't leech anymore. Hurry over. Come close to the boss"
Li Yi shouted, and only then did Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Chen Yang stop their conversation before they rushed up to their aircraft.
When the countdown had reached 0, all five of them stayed near to the head of the boss. At this time, the Fire Storm had begun.
"How can the Ultimate Combat Weapon only have such a little force?"
The Super Giant Dwarf roared in rage. When he clenched its fists hard, the ground suddenly trembled and a sea of magma broke out, drowning the entire area...
"Attack!"
The Super Giant Dwarf madly healed, while Li Yi and the other five attacked all-out. Of course, apart from Li Yi himself, the rest was completely dispensable. The damage caused by them did not even add up to one-tenth of his.
One shot of cannon fire blasted over would result in −100,000 HP. So, a series of Fire Projectiles were shot out, and the Super Giant Dwarf yelped in pain. Its HP was instantly cut by more than 200,000.
"Infidel grandchildren, what's hidden in your blood? Why do I feel that the power in my body is losing? No, the dream of the Dwarfs will never end, and the Ultimate Combat Weapons will never be defeated."
When Li Yi and the others brought down the Super Giant Dwarf's HP to 1/70,000,000, the Super Giant Dwarf went completely berserk. A layer of invincible protective shroud emerged out of its body surface, crazily chasing Li Yi and the others.
At this time, the Super Giant Dwarf was in Invincible Mode, which could not be dispelled. Any attack was ineffective against him.
"Pierce."
The Super Giant Dwarf struck out a punch into the sky overhead, instantly creating a crack in the air.
Space Blockade!
In an instant, Li Yi and the others were stagnant in the air. They could not move at all.
"You have ruined the dream of the Dwarfs. I'll crush all of you to pieces."
The Super Giant Dwarf reached out its giant palm, grabbed Li Yi, and clasped hard both its hands together.
"Pap!"
