Possible Trump Card Combination, Beating the Elf King Senseless
Puff!
Large spurts of bright red blood gushed from the Elf King's mouth. He screamed and flew out like a cannonball, crashing to the ground and rolling uncontrollably.
It didn't stop until it had fallen nearly 100 meters!
Rainwater, muddy water, blood!
The mud and water splattered all over the Elf King's body, making his exquisitely styled white hair disheveled, and the long, thin strands of hair that fell to either side of his ears were soaked with mud and water stains!
Snap!
A slender hand slapped the ground, gripping the damp soil and splashing up droplets of water mixed with filth.
Huwuwu--
Whoosh--
The storm and torrential rain continued to pour down.
The Elf King could barely open his eyes; the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. He lay sprawled in the rain, panting heavily.
The intense pain in his chest almost made him stop breathing.
"I almost died!"
An uncontrollable surge of anger and a hint of fear rose from the depths of his heart.
The Elf King looked tremblingly at his chest, where a hand-length tear was visible on the exquisite gold and white soft armor.
Bright red blood was continuously oozing from the wound.
The intense pain contorted the Elf King's face, and he involuntarily let out a groan.
"Thanks to... the ' Aspect of Elemental ' released at the last moment."
This magic is an Eighth-Tier Druid spell that grants the caster resistance to certain elements, thereby granting immunity to various abnormal statuses such as poisoning and illness.
Most importantly, it can grant immunity to one fatal blow!
He had never suffered such serious injuries before, nor had he ever been in such a sorry state!
As a monarch of noble lineage!
"Damn bastard!!"
The Elf King abruptly raised his head, his eyes burning with a fury that seemed to turn everything to ashes:
I'm going to kill you!
Boom--Pfft--
The rain curtain ahead suddenly burst open.
"Hahaha!"
Zesshi Zetsumei charged forward, laughing loudly, "Those screams just now were too beautiful to hear!"
"More, more screams!"
The frenzied killing intent pierced through the barriers of space, causing the Elf King to involuntarily tremble.
The speed of the Zesshi Zetsumei was extremely fast. It quickly pursued the Elf King the moment it was blasted away, clearly having anticipated this.
The long-planned attack did not completely kill the Elf King.
The Cross-Spear War Scythe in rain, seemed to transform into a black serpent, its afterimage slashing once more at the Elf King's neck!
Swish!
The black scythe blade sliced through the air, but the strike missed its mark.
The figure charging forward with Zesshi Zetsumei gait abruptly stopped, looked at the vanished Elf King, quickly turned its head away, and the blue wings on its back vibrated.
Whoosh!
The silver-white figure returned to the direction it had come from.
Having witnessed the formidable close-combat abilities of Zesshi Zetsumei, the Elf King had completely extinguished any possibility of letting it get close to him.
They saw Zesshi Zetsumei rushing towards them.
The Elf King immediately activated his class skill and teleported to the side of the Root Earth Elemental.
"Disarm!"
Standing at the feet of the massive Root Earth Elemental, the Elf King did not hesitate for a moment and immediately dispelled the "Tempest" spell.
now.
The magic has lost its ability to restrict the enemy; instead, it continues to affect the caster.
In an instant!
The powerful storm summoned by magic vanished without a trace, if not for the fact that a large area of trees had been completely cleared and the ground was still wet.
The Tempest just now felt like an illusion.
"Here you are, don't be so smug!"
Without the rain obscuring his vision, the Elf King immediately spotted Zesshi Zetsumei rushing towards him from afar.
Behemot! Protect me!
The Elf King roared, "Then kill this bastard!"
With a loud "bang", a buzzing sound.
The earth trembled.
Behemot, the Earth Elemental, first raised his massive left arm, lifted the Elf King from the ground, placed him in his palm, and gently clenched his fist to protect him.
Immediately afterwards!
The Earth Elemental Behemot moved swiftly across the slippery ground, faster than before.
Boom!
The Root Earth Elemental and the Zesshi Zetsumei collided once more, creating a violent roar that echoed throughout the jungle.
He suffered serious injuries.
The Elf King dared not leave the Root Earth Elemental's side any longer, so he simply hid in the Earth Elemental's palm, where he could both recover from his injuries and ensure his own safety.
"Hey, hey!"
"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Hahaha!"
While dodging the attacks of the giant fist of the Root Earth Elemental, Zesshi Zetsumei occasionally unleashed Martial Arts, shouting loudly:
"Now he's acting like a coward, only knowing how to hide."
The Zesshi Zetsumei echoed alternately.
"Foolish fellow!"
The Elf King's cold response emanated from the Root Earth Elemental always positioned above his head, emanating from within his left fist:
"What I excel at is summoning the powerful Earth Guardian Behemot. As Magic Caster, having summoned creatures fight against enemies is the only proper strategy!"
In fact.
As Druid, even with his specialized elemental mage abilities, he still possesses physical strength that surpasses that of most creatures.
With just fists!
A single blow could shatter iron armor, and it could wipe out an entire human army of tens of thousands.
But—compared to whom?
The mixed-race daughter of a human and Forest Elf before him, having awakened the King's Blood and still being a Warrior, possessed physical abilities far exceeding his own.
Only a fool would go toe-to-toe with an opponent like that!
"Behemot is invincible! Unbeatable!"
The Elf King thought to himself with smug satisfaction,
He only needed to quietly recover from his injuries and then wait for Behemot to kill that bastard.
The battle strategy was definitely flawed!
"Perhaps it's because I haven't encountered an opponent of the same level before," the Elf King thought to himself.
Thud! Thud!
A continuous roar echoed.
In just a few moments, the ground in this area looked as if it had been plowed, with huge craters everywhere.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Zesshi Zetsumei's expression turned furious as he realized that his previous attack had disrupted his position, Root Earth Elemental had instantly recovered.
"I want to hear screams, screams, more screams! Let me hear them!"
pity.
To hear the Elf King's screams, we must first break through the Root Earth Elemental.
"Oh?"
"Has it turned into a war of attrition?" Tang Zheng reappeared at the edge of the battlefield, gazing at Zesshi Zetsumei battle between the two forces, Jue Si Jue Ming, and the massive Root Earth Elemental.
Just as the Elf King unleashed "Tempest," Tang Zheng left the area of effect of the magic beforehand to avoid being discovered.
"Attribute Panel."
"Fourth-Tier - Tremor Sense"
"Eighth-Tier - Aspect of Elemental"
"Ninth-Tier - Tempest"
Skill points: 147 → 144
In the process just now, he mastered three new spells, which further expanded his current abilities.
Tang Zheng's gaze lingered on the "Aspect of Elemental," a spell that made him pause for a moment.
If he remembers correctly, there is an even higher version of this magic, the ninth -Tier Magic "Elemental Form: Earth" and the four-element series.
This spell grants the caster Elemental Form buff, making it a spell with both advantages and disadvantages.
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.
He possesses a trump card called "Katan," which, once unleashed, could likely instantly kill the caster of the spell.
but.
This targeted tactic cannot be applied in most battles and must be used by the opponent.
But... what if Tang Zheng used it on himself?
"The Soul River - Flowing Backwards!"
Tang Zheng silently thought to himself, "This is the [World Connector's ] trump card."
"The Soul River - Flowing Backwards":
Clears all soul energy levels, and deals 100% of the damage received back to the opponent, ignoring all defenses (can only be activated after the attack has been absorbed). (30 days)
This trump card is considered a "world-class" skill.
It doesn't mention that you can only retaliate if the opponent inflicts damage; in other words, you can also retaliate if you inflict damage on yourself.
Tang Zheng had previously considered how to maximize the power of this skill.
now.
More than one idea popped into my mind.
Release your own "Elemental Form" → "Katan" → "Soul River - Backflow"!
There's still a resurrection-type method missing.
The Elf King himself possesses it, so mastering it is not difficult.
Tang Zheng's current HP value has exceeded 100%, and it will only be higher when he reaches level 90 or above, enough to crush the HP of the Guardian in the Great Tomb.
If he were to retaliate the damage he suffered against the Floor Guardian of the Great Tomb, it would be enough to instantly kill any one of them.
certainly.
This also requires determining the bonuses provided by the equipment.
"Well, it can only be considered a tactic."
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up at this thought, then he shook his head. "Using two trump cards and Resurrection Magic at once is too costly."
"It would probably be worthwhile only in a very dire situation, and only if a significant amount of intelligence had been leaked."
I regained my senses.
"What should you do now? Zesshi Zetsumei!"
Tang Zheng raised his gaze, observing the shifting tug-of-war, and smiled slightly, "Still want to persist?"
He remembered that at the beginning, Zesshi Zetsumei had defeated the Elf King entirely by relying on brute force without using any trump cards.
Now.
If they continue to persist, Zesshi Zetsumei undoubtedly be defeated.
As the most powerful "root" element.
The Root Earth Elemental's attacks contain the properties of all the metals of the earth, and its defense is also judged to have resistance to multiple metals, as well as all types of "Weapon Resistance V".
As long as the Root Earth Elemental is located on the ground, it will provide a slight boost to all abilities and a certain degree of regeneration.
It is extremely difficult to defeat it using purely physical attacks.
"Of course, its weaknesses are also quite prominent."
Tang Zheng recalled the information in his mind, "The Root Earth Elemental fears acidic and sonic attacks."
pity.
Neither of these two methods is Zesshi Zetsumei necessary.
--Boom!
A massive, brownish-brown fist grazed Zesshi Zetsumei's cheek and slammed down heavily, sending a tremendous shockwave through the air.
Zesshi Zetsumei used "Greater Evasion" to dodge, and his expression behind the helmet was rather grim.
After attempting a fierce attack.
Zesshi Zetsumei abandoned the idea of breaking through the Root Earth Elemental, probably realizing that the strength of this Earth Elemental was beyond the norm.
"The physical strain will only get worse."
Zesshi Zetsumei knew that if she continued to fight, she would be the first to lose. "Earth Elemental shouldn't have any problem with stamina consumption, right?"
At present!
She has changed her tactics.
The plan is to use minimal physical effort to evade attacks, and then...
--The waiting time for the monster's summons has ended!
Time passed little by little.
The tremors continued for half an hour, showing no sign of stopping.
"It still exists?"
"It has exceeded the normal lifespan of summoned monsters."
Zesshi Zetsumei's face grew even paler, sweat beading on his forehead and back. Half an hour of hiding had left him exhausted, even with his stamina minimized.
"This can't go on."
"Damn it, that guy's going to laugh at me... Whatever, I'm killing you!"
now.
The Elf King, nestled in the palm of the Root Earth Elemental, had his injuries healed. Through the gap, he peered at the agile figure:
"Strange, why does it feel like I'm consuming more magic power than before?"
"Wow, you're so good at dodging?"
"It's alright, Behemot is invincible. No matter how well he dodges, he'll eventually run out of energy."
"How dare they attack a great monarch! Even if they possess awakened bloodlines, it is unforgivable!"
The Elf King clutched his chest, feeling the excruciating pain, his eyes growing even colder.
Swish!
Zesshi Zetsumei suddenly pressed down with both legs, leaped forward, and his figure retreated rapidly backward, while raising his arms and gripping the Cross-Spear War Scythe tightly.
Innate Talent activated!
"The goal of all life is death!"
Buzz~
Golden light emanated from behind Zesshi Zetsumei, forming a giant golden clock:
"Die!"
The tip of the Cross-Spear War Scythe was aimed at the Root Earth Elemental.
When!
The hands of the golden clock began to tick.
"What's this?"
The Elf King saw this scene through the gaps in the Root Earth Elemental's fingers, his pupils filled with doubt.
It was probably enough to guess that it was some kind of special move, but the Elf King had no worries about his confidence in the Root Earth Elemental.
"12!"
"8!"
"..."
"1!"
Zesshi Zetsumei counted down the seconds in his mind, and when he saw that the Elf King still hadn't reacted when he reached the last second, he grinned.
Ding~
The golden pointer completed one full rotation.
The Root Earth Elemental's body stiffened, and then its massive form turned into fine, brownish-yellow debris that dissipated in the air.
Snap~
The Elf King fell to the ground from the sky with a blank look in his eyes, his pupils gradually dilating:
"You, you..."
He hadn't even finished saying his sentence.
"Hahaha--!"
With Zesshi Zetsumei Ming charged forward and, to the Elf King Elf King's horrified gaze, kicked him to the ground.
"What... what did you do...?"
The Elf King shouted loudly.
Bang!
A muffled thud.
The Elf King's head was stomped into the ground.
"Let me hear your screams, your screams!"
Zesshi Zetsumei laughed loudly, his breath coming in short gasps as he straddled the Elf King, his fists flashing like afterimages as he repeatedly struck the Elf King's head.
"Struggle? Then struggle even more fiercely!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah--ah--ah--"
Each heavy fist that landed splattered blood and bits of flesh.
The maniacal laughter of Zesshi Zetsumei mingled with the agonizing screams of the Elf King, creating a chilling and terrifying melody that echoed through the jungle.
"I am the king..."
Bang!
"Ouch, it hurts so much!"
Bang!
"Get out of here..."
Bang!
"I... ah... it's you, Father."
Bang!
Bang!
Zesshi Zetsumei's fists tightened even more.
