Defeating the Boss

With a sudden, earth-shaking tremor, the entire space seemed about to collapse.

What's going on?

The fat man steadied himself and shouted.

"The boss is probably about to appear. Prepare for battle."

Just as Xiao Fan finished speaking, a colossal object slammed heavily onto the ground, the resulting shockwave making it difficult for anyone to stand.

Once everyone had regained their footing, they could finally see the creature that had appeared before them.

It stands about seven or eight meters tall, has no facial features, and its body constantly changes shape, sometimes resembling a burning flame, sometimes a rushing sand dune, and sometimes a flowing stream...

A creature I've never seen before—no, I've never even heard of it.

At the same time, information about the monster appeared above its head.

Name: Chaos Elemental Envoy (BOSS)

Level: 10

HP: 3000/3000

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the BOSS appeared, nine beams of light of different colors appeared around it.

"What does this mean? Why are there lights when fighting the boss?"

The fat man and his companions stared at the beams of light appearing around them, their faces full of confusion.

Apart from Xiao Fan, the other seven were all venturing into the Special Secret Realm for the first time, and the moment the light appeared, they were all completely stunned.

"Jiu Chen, what's going on?"

Ye Changge looked at Xiao Fan, wondering why this secret realm was so strange and confusing.

Shouldn't a secret realm consist of a bunch of mobs and three bosses?

"It's probably one of the boss's mechanics, but we can't tell yet. Let's try it out first."

While speaking, Xiao Fan kept carefully observing the BOSS.

The Elementalist is not a typical boss in <Cloud Sea>, but rather resembles a lewd boss from a previous Western fantasy online game.

Well, the game background of <Cloud Sea> has become even more complex.

"Fatty, start the fight."

"I'm off!"

-301HP

"Holy crap! Brother Chen, help!" the fat man screamed in fright.

"One punch took away a quarter of my health, this is a level 10 boss."

Even Xiao Fan was startled by the injury and quickly healed the fat man.

"I can't take it anymore! Brother Chen! I can't take it!" The fat man was so scared he was almost crying.

This damage is outrageous! Keep in mind that he's focusing on his main stats and his skills have damage reduction.

In this situation, isn't it a bit excessive for the BOSS to take away a quarter of his health in one hit?

"Brother Chen, how about we stick to the same method of kiting and damaging as before? It's a bit slower, but it's safer," Swift as Wind suggested.

Before Xiao Fan could speak, the fat man nodded repeatedly. "I think Xiao Feng's suggestion is good."

Xiao Fan remained silent; he had a feeling that something was amiss.

Seeing Swift as Wind Xiao Fan didn't object, Ji Rufeng was determined to step forward and take the damage.

-408HP

Upon hearing this damage, Swift as Wind's eyes widened in surprise.

Goodbye!

It's been so long! So long since I've felt such direct and intense pain!

He's not fat, he's got strength and agility as his stats!

This attack took away nearly half of his health.

How the hell do you play this?

Seeing this, the others felt it was best not to pull or cause further injury.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for this one!

The fat man resigned himself to his fate and pulled back the damage.

-70HP

Fatty:!!!

What's going on? Why is the damage less again?

"Brother Chen, I can do it again!"

-312HP

"Brother Chen, it's not completely done yet!"

The fat man noticed that the BOSS's damage was different each time.

His blood vessels were beating faster than his heart was beating!

What's going on? Playing the piano?

Fortunately, Xiao Fan's healing output was still sufficient, so the fat man could only carefully absorb damage.

At the same time, Qin Muyu noticed that the damage she dealt varied greatly with each hit.

On a good day, a single strike can take away over 100 drops of health; on a bad day, it can only take away one drop.

That's absolutely outrageous!

Xiao Fan could roughly figure something out.

The nine elements interact in a mutually generating and restraining relationship.

The initial Nine Elemental Paths, the path they chose determined which element they belonged to in battle.

The BOSS's elements are constantly changing; if the elements are compatible, the damage dealt will be low, and the damage received will also be low.

Elements that counter each other deal more damage, but also deal more damage in return.

In this situation, the best approach is to fight according to the principles of mutual generation and restraint among elements.

However, the Level 10 Secret Realm isn't very difficult for Xiao Fan and his group, so he can still heal them even when they're fighting like this.

"A higher level is definitely better."

High-level skills deal damage quickly, especially since they're using skills created by Xiao Fan.

Soon, the BOSS's health was reduced to only 60%.

But at that moment, the BOSS's body turned into surging sand and no longer changed as before.

"Holy crap! What's going on? Why can't I deal damage?"

The other players kept attacking, but all their attacks resulted in -0 HP when they hit the BOSS.

"Brother Chen, think of something quickly! This boss is immune to damage!" The fat man was sweating profusely with anxiety.

They did little damage to the boss, but the boss did a surprisingly good amount of damage to them.

"Looks like it's going through the motions."

Xiao Fan frowned. The BOSS's body was currently earth elemental, and according to the principle of elemental counteraction, the wood elemental Zai Zai should be able to deal damage.

But when Xiao Fan looked over, the Zai Zai's spear was smoking, yet it hadn't done a single bit of damage.

What's wrong?

Xiao Fan suddenly thought of the Nine Light Beams surrounding him.

"Fatty, lure the BOSS to the green beam and fight it there."

Although the fat man didn't know why Xiao Fan wanted him to do this, he still obediently led the Boss to the center of the green beam.

The others followed.

"Holy crap! We can deal damage now! We can output damage!"

As soon as the BOSS was pulled to the target, the others realized they could attack again.

"Just as I thought."

To defeat the BOSS, you need to lure it to the beam of light that counters its element.

"Brother Chen, help me!"

A sound as swift as the Swift as Wind slaughtering a pig rang out.

Xiao Fan quickly looked over and discovered that a vine had appeared on the ground sometime during the night.

Swift as Wind was lifted two meters into the air, his face turning pale with fright.

Xiao Fan only has one skill that can remove air gaps, and it's currently on cooldown.

"Taichu and Soul Piercer, you two, knock down the vines."

"Can this be used?"

In the instant Ye Changge pondered, Qin Muyu had already turned to strike the vines.

Seeing this, Ye Changge quickly followed.

The vines had low health, only 500. The two of them could take them down in just a few hits.

He fell to the ground Swift as Wind, dusted himself off, stood up, and continued beating.

-0HP

Swift as Wind: "Why is there no damage again?"

After the vines were destroyed, the BOSS's body turned into flowing stream water.

"Fatty, take the BOSS to the brown beam of light and fight it there."

Xiao Fan gave the order.

"OK."

The fat man seemed to have figured something out, but not much.

He only knew that they were currently following a BOSS mechanic, but he had no idea how to proceed.

Everyone was completely bewildered, and could only follow Xiao Fan's instructions exactly.

Each beam of light will trigger an Elemental Skill, and the boss's body will switch to a different element after the battle.

Once this mechanism completes, the boss Chaos Elemental Envoy's health bar will also be depleted.
