Chapter 591 - 319: Classes Level: 10_2
This directly stunned the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’!
From Zergelos’ perspective.
First, the sight of a human immune to two consecutive eye beam attacks made it quite puzzled. Then, four High-Tier Extraordinary Dwarves that appeared suddenly from behind also left it unsure of how they emerged.
"Sizzle! Clap! Clap!"
Just as Zergelos fell into a brief stupor, the attacking Dwarf Elders did not pause at all. Instead, their assaults became more fervent, causing the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ to experience a massive fracture in its bony back.
"Roar!!!"
The Wandering Eye Tyrant, feeling pain or possibly threatened, finally regained its senses.
With another angry roar, a black halo with a diameter of tens of meters suddenly expanded from its spherical body.
It rapidly engulfed Raine and the Dwarf Elders engaged in close combat.
Having the Hate Lord Bloodline, Raine did not feel uncomfortable, but the four Dwarf Elders at the rear attacking ferociously all showed a change in expression for they distinctly felt something unusual.
"It’s the Death Halo!"
The Death Halo, as the Legendary Domain of the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’, is powerful enough to rival a Ninth Level Spell, endowed with four special effects: Weakness, Passive Life Drain, Continuous Necrotic Energy Damage, and Invalid Healing Spell.
The devout shields around all four Dwarf Elders lasted less than three seconds, popping like bubbles.
Then, the swing of warhammers or giant axes of the Dwarf Elders slowed by at least two to three levels, shrouded in black mist, faces lined with pain.
"Retreat quickly!!"
Elder Grenum shouted desperately in command.
It’s not that they didn’t want to continue attacking but lingering in the Death Halo would be fatal, even with the sturdy constitution of dwarves, even if they are Extraordinary High Tier.
Witnessing Raine unperturbed, seizing the opportunity while the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ was furious, smashing its last remaining eye stalk.
This scene left Princess Dongni, Leonore, and the others at the rear awe-struck.
It’s the Death Halo!
Facing a Legendary Domain, Raine was able to resist with ease, is he really human??
"Even dwarf heroes recorded in ancient texts couldn’t achieve this, only deities or incarnations in mythological and epic journeys have such power."
Princess Dongni murmured.
"Boom!!"
Raine focused, strenuously raised his shield to block a bite from the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’, but was nonetheless struck by its immense force.
Fortunately, he was hurled back against a rocky corridor wall, thus he barely retreated, delivering an Armor-Piercing Strike followed by Frost Strike upon landing.
An unprecedented Legendary level foe.
An unparalleled feeling like walking on a tightrope over a precipice.
Compelling Raine to gather unprecedented focus.
Shield-blocking, warhammer strikes...
Dare not lose concentration for a second.
It is because of this never-before-seen focus that insights into the Class Skill ’Frost Combo’ kept surfacing in Raine’s mind.
Like every swing of the warhammer sparked a revelation.
In an instant!
Raine did not activate any special effects from the Counterattacker, yet flashes trailed his warhammer, within a short span, it struck the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ three times.
A piece of bone mass the size of a face beneath its mouth shattered entirely!
’Ascended?’
Raine’s eyes slightly widened, feeling skeptical.
He hadn’t expected to ascend again in battle.
Indeed, trials are the best catalyst for advancement.
This is why Adventurers, even risking their lives, still strive to complete guild-issued tasks.
Besides hefty rewards, each thrilling battle is an incomparable invaluable experience.
Having ascended, Raine felt much more at ease fending off bite attacks from the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’, however, the problem was the foe, as a Legendary creature, was exceptionally tough.
With the Dwarf Elders unable to assist due to the Death Halo, relying solely on his combat prowess wouldn’t lead to delivering a fatal blow to the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ in a short time.
Nonetheless, Raine had anticipated such a situation long ago.
"Rotate! Magic attack!"
Leonore and Elder Grenum immediately understood what Raine meant.
Four dwarf elders, adept at violent melee attacks, quickly completed the offense-defense switch with Leonore and the three high-tier mages.
Originally, Leonore, Harold, and Chandler, who focused on defensive magic to contain, began chanting instantly, unleashing powerful single-target spells to attack the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’.
Led by Elder Grenum, the dwarf elders quickly blocked the two advanced undead knights and several zombie giants in front of Leonore and the others.
Due to two rounds of high-tier area damage spells, the advanced undead were significantly weakened in status and combat power, making it relatively easy for the dwarf elders to cut them down. They could even use fewer to fight more, finding opportunities to kill the opponents.
"Boom! Boom!"
Beads of exploding fireballs, gigantic earth thrusts, and raging torrents, each a seventh-level spell, rained down on the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ like a tempest.
Though Zergelos had Legendary-level spell resistance, theoretically having high damage reduction against magic attacks, the issue was that a large area of its bone surface had been shattered by Raine and the dwarf elders.
This greatly weakened its spell resistance.
Moreover, seventh-level spells are no ordinary minor spells.
With one factor increasing and the other decreasing, Zergelos’s injuries worsened further.
And it quickly realized this.
Suddenly!
The death aura that spread like a black carpet retracted, and an unknown noble purple glowing whirl appeared, expanding around Zergelos.
The whirl’s range was so wide that even Leonore and the others, fifty or sixty meters away, were instantly covered.
At that moment, the three of them were ’silenced’.
"It’s an anti-magic field!"
"Haha, now it’s our turn!"
Elder Grenum, once again with Elder Dinita, Elder Ubrek, and Elder Auslan, launched a charge. Like four gray streaks, they reached the back of the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ in a flash.
Two-handed heavy hammers, double-edged giant axes, one-handed hammers, one-handed axes all swung and chopped down.
In a moment, the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’’s hard white bone shell was shattered, bone fragments flying!
....
Meanwhile.
Meredith was sprinting rapidly within the secret path. She had initially thought of a plan: if Raine and the others hadn’t officially started the battle, she could use her knowledge of the terrain to guide the three behind her elsewhere.
But the problem was, she had just entered the passage and already heard intermittent roars from deeper inside, distant yet faintly audible.
This made Meredith quickly realize that the battle had already begun!
And only one option was available to her.
Behind Meredith, the ’Emerald Shield’ silver team didn’t notice at first, but within seconds, they quickly realized something.
The extraordinary wanderer leading, holding a dagger, slowed down, turned back quickly, and solemnly asked, "Captain, Zachary, did you hear that?"
"Heard it. The Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’ seems very active," the ranger immediately responded.
"Is it feeding?"
"Should we keep chasing? This Drow Elf seems to be leading us over there."
"Wait! This sound is not right," the running Shield Armor Warrior’s face changed, he said gravely.
"Hm?"
The extraordinary wanderer and ranger both focused intently, the more they listened, the stranger it sounded.
"Someone’s fighting the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’!" the extraordinary wanderer’s eyes widened, exclaiming.
"Damn! Let’s go, check it out!"
....
Seconds later.
Around a passage corner, suddenly, the three discovered that the well-shaped female Drow Elf wielding a curved sword had stopped moving in front of them.
Before the three could think more, a visible white shockwave swept through, a nearly eardrum-tearing roar engulfing the scene.
The three raised hands to block the tornado-like shockwave, eyes opened to see.
Before the three’s eyes was this scene—
’A young man wielding a warhammer, leaping high, body stretched like a taut bowstring to its limit, slammed down towards the red giant eye at the center of the Wandering Eye Tyrant ’Zergelos’s spherical body!
