Chapter 206 The Battle of Overlord Grade
The ground, hard as iron and charred black, instantly turned snow-white with frost spreading everywhere due to the effect of the Frostbite Grenade.
Blaze Serpentess's snake tail was firmly frozen to the ground, unable to move. A trace of fury appeared on her charming face as she raised her right hand and pointed at Eric.
A large amount of fierce fire elements immediately gathered under her delicate fingers.
This was Blaze Serpentess's Inferno Eruption skill, a continuous attack skill with a casting time of 2 seconds that deals extremely high fire damage to the target. It can almost instantly kill a fully healthy top-tier MT. Even with the Solar Radiance Buff, it would still cause significant damage.
Seeing the flames on Blaze Serpentess's fingertips growing more intense, Eric immediately activated Swordsoar Ascension, keeping a close eye on the moment Inferno Eruption was launched. At the same time, he threw a Blaze Comet attack, hoping to interrupt or delay Blaze Serpentess's attack.
Magical attacks are not unavoidable, but the timing must be precise. Whether a second too early or too late, one could be hit because magical attacks have a delay advantage, allowing the caster to see the enemy's movements before attacking. Dodging too early makes it easier to get hit. The best time to dodge is right after the magic is launched.
However, the speed of the magic after being launched is very fast, making it extremely difficult to dodge.
Of course, if a player's movement speed is very fast, making it hard for the enemy to catch or aim, that's a different story. But in front of the high-level Overlord Grade Blaze Serpentess, it's best not to count on such luck.
A series of Blaze Comet attacks resulted in a string of damage numbers. Although the damage seemed significant, it was nothing to Blaze Serpentess, who had 500,000 health points. Due to her terrifying combat regeneration, Eric couldn't inflict much damage on her. However, the knockback effect slightly interrupted the casting time of Inferno Eruption.
"I will burn your soul with the divine flame," Blaze Serpentess said with a stern smile. At this moment, a dazzling light burst from her delicate fingertips, illuminating the entire cave and instantly raising the temperature several times, which made the cave like a small sun.
Suddenly, blazing white flames shot out from Blaze Serpentess's fingertips.
One after another, like a heavy Charge forth gun firing wildly, the flames kept coming.
The moment the flames were launched, Eric immediately began to dodge but was still a split second too late.. He was hit by a flame, reducing the number of defenses left in Swordsoar Ascension.
Although hit by the first flame, Eric dodged the second and third, which grazed his clothes and hit the rock wall behind him.
The rock wall, hard as Dark Iron, was easily pierced. It a tunnel about a meter wide and tens of meters deep. What was even more shocking was that the tunnel walls were smooth and shiny, like polished crystal, gleaming with a metallic luster.
All of this was the result of the blazing white flames.
If not for Swordsoar Ascension's defense, Eric would have turned into steam. Even if not, he would have formed a human-shaped tunnel in the rock wall.
Although this wasn't Eric's first time seeing it, he still felt a chill every time he witnessed its terrifying power.
This was the strength of a high-level Overlord.
Fighting a high-level Overlord was far from an ordinary battle; it was a superhuman fight that could alter the surrounding terrain.
After a round of Inferno Eruption bombardment, Eric's Swordsoar Ascension's defenses were exhausted. However, Blaze Serpentess also calmed down a lot. Still frozen by Eric's Frostbite Grenade, she could only use a bow to attack, firing flaming arrows.
Compared to Inferno Eruption, dodging these flaming arrows was much easier.
Eric could always dodge the flaming arrows while simultaneously attacking with Blaze Comet, continuously depleting Blaze Serpentess's health. However, Blaze Serpentess wasn't a fool; she also dodged, but her frozen body limited her ability to evade attacks.
98%...
95%...
93%...
91%...
More than an hour passed, and Eric lost count of how many Blaze Comets he had thrown. Blaze Serpentess's health fluctuated but finally dropped to 80%. During this time, Blaze Serpentess launched eight or nine Inferno Eruptions and Queen's Lash attacks, but Eric blocked them all with Swordsoar Ascension and Parry. The most dangerous moment came when Eric was nearly killed by Inferno Eruption, but he managed to recover a significant amount of health using a mid-level healing potion.
Although the constant attacking and dodging made the battle somewhat tedious, killing an Overlord Grade Boss was definitely worth it.
High-level Overlords generally drop very generous loot. At the very least, they would drop an Adamantite Artifact, and there was even a chance of dropping Obsidian Level loot.
Whether it was Adamantite Equipment or Obsidian Equipment, these were the dream gear for players at this stage. Not to mention, having level 25 gear before even reaching level 25 was a huge advantage.
With each attack, Blaze Serpentess's Pyroclasmic Amplification effect finally stacked up to 5 times. She lost 2000 health points per second, which matched her combat regeneration rate.
Suddenly, Blaze Serpentess's health began to drop faster.
Two hours later, Blaze Serpentess's health had dropped to 23%. If this pace continued, the battle could be over in an hour.
This realization made Eric speed up his attacks.
At this moment, Eric's system communication notification sounded. The person requesting communication was Thornheart from Assassin's Alliance.
Eric had nothing else to do, and after dodging so many times, he felt quite at ease facing Blaze Serpentess, so he answered the call.
"Kai Blackthorn, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor?" Thornheart got straight to the point without any pleasantries, though he felt a bit abrupt. Asking Eric for help out of the blue was bold. A top player's time was valuable, given the much fiercer competition in Silvervale City compared to Willowbrook Town.
After all, Willowbrook Town had only twenty to thirty thousand players, but Silvervale City had millions. With so many experts gathered in Silvervale City, the level of competition had increased several times over.
"A favor? What do you need me to do?" Eric asked.
"I'd like to invite you to join us in a team dungeon. With someone of your caliber, our chances of success would be much higher," Thornheart replied, somewhat embarrassed.
"What team dungeon? It wouldn't be one of the three level 10 large dungeons, would it?" Eric pressed, slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Thornheart to ask him to join a dungeon raid.
He had no interest in participating in the three large dungeons.
The impact on history would be too significant.
When he first-cleared Shadowmoon Graveyard last time, it had already changed the course of history. If he helped Assassin's Alliance first-clear a large team dungeon, who knew what uncontrollable events might occur in the future.
Large team dungeons were not like ordinary team dungeons; their difficulty was two or three levels higher.
Even with his help, Assassin's Alliance couldn't clear a Common Level dungeon at this stage, let alone an Infernal-level one.
