Balor

Dozens of elite, boss-level elemental creatures cleared the way, destroying all enemies in their path like a steamroller. They were completely unstoppable, and all the monsters encountered along the way, whether they were enslaved slaves or elite monsters such as elementals, Arcanist, and Arcane guards, were utterly no match for them.

Moreover, while commanding these elemental creatures in battle, Xiao Yu discovered that they were clearly complementary.

Water Elemental excel at using freezing skills to restrict enemies, fire elements deal extremely high damage, and earth elements are all tough, durable, and have high magic resistance, making them perfect tanks at the front.

As for the wind element, it can scout out enemies in the sky while also launching attacks from above, making it difficult to defend against.

Faced with this multi-dimensional offensive, the monsters blocking the way were utterly powerless to resist. The road was littered with corpses, and the adventurers following behind initially tried to fight back, but they quickly fell behind and ended up picking up the corpses with great relish. The team thus charged straight to the entrance of the Hall of Smelting.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Come on, my people! Destroy this gate! It's time for our revenge!"

The elemental creatures at the forefront simultaneously blasted towards the gate.

Fire Bolt, Frostbolt, Lightning Bolt, and Rock Throw —a concentrated barrage blasted the heavy gate to pieces, and then a group of elemental creatures and adventurers rushed inside.

On the high platform of the Hall of Smelting, a figure completely shrouded in a black cloak calmly looked down at the crowd in the middle of the hall, seemingly without any sign of tension.

Xiao Yu looked around and saw no other monsters. It seemed this was the final boss's room. Reaching the final level so easily made Xiao Yu feel a little too relaxed. There were only three bosses before the final boss. The boss guarding the gate was a freebie, and the third boss had run away beforehand. There was only one real boss battle. It couldn't be easier.

However, Xiao Yu was not careless because of this. Wasn't it the same when he was establishing his base in the Blazing Flame Canyon? Generally, it wasn't difficult for a team with sufficient strength to defeat the first three bosses, but when it came to him, the team would be wiped out in minutes.

I've heard of dungeons where one super-powerful boss leads a bunch of weaker bosses, so it's best not to be careless.

He composed himself and decided to stick to the script.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "I said I would return. Now, mortal, let us know the truth. You will pay for your deeds!"

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "Amalarui, you have betrayed Dalaran, betrayed the Kirin Tor Council, and taken what is not yours. As a Dalaran mage, I have a duty to reclaim the lost treasures. Hand over the Kirin Tor Elder's Scepter now, and perhaps I will spare your life."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "They didn't even ask for my opinion before saying that," and sent a text message, "Hey, you're not really planning to let him go, are you?"

Esmehalda remained unfazed and sent back the same text message: "I already said 'maybe'."

Xiao Yu felt very gratified after reading the text message; it seemed that he had finally completely corrupted the girl.

However, one might not be enough to subdue the Legendary mage before them, or perhaps the mage simply didn't take them seriously at all.

The term "Legendary mage" refers to those whose magic is so powerful that it forms its own system. Generally, those who can obtain this title are all extraordinary figures, and naturally, they would not surrender so easily.

Amalarui Fieldnan (Legendary Mage): "Heh, looks like you think you've got this in the bag? What makes you think you can? Just because of the trash behind you? Hmph, don't be so naive, young apprentice. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson. In the face of truly powerful magic, numbers don't matter."

He pointed his staff sharply at the elemental creatures— Dispel Magic.

At the same time, these elemental creatures were enveloped in a white light as if the magic had been dispelled.

As mentioned before, the summoning of these elemental creatures has long been lifted. The reason they remain in this world is due to the Dimensional Shackles spell. And when the Dimensional Shackles effect is lifted, their fate is self-evident.

The surrounding space distorted, and a series of explosions followed. One by one, these elemental creatures were sent back to their own planes, and in an instant, the once magnificent army was reduced by half.

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "Don't get too cocky, we still have the adventurers' help."

Amalarui Fieldnan (Legendary Mage): "Oh, really? And now!" He said, raising his staff again, and suddenly all the adventurers were enveloped in a white light of Teleport.

Ultimate Skill - Mass Teleport!

In an instant, flashes of white light appeared one after another, and all the adventurers behind Xiao Yu and Esmehalda vanished without a trace.

"What the hell is going on?!" Xiao Yu was stunned. He thought to himself, "No way, I was counting on all of this help, and now it's all gone."

No, these adventurers shouldn't have left the tower. Since the dungeon is theoretically a completely different space from the outside world, and this Teleport can only be used within the same space, these adventurers should have been teleported somewhere else. So they'll be back soon, and we just need to hold out until they return.

This Teleport is clearly a BOSS tactic. He has been a BOSS before and knows this very well. Different types of BOSSes have different BOSS tactics to choose from. Spellcaster-type BOSSes often choose spells as their BOSS tactic. Since his BOSS tactic is to teleport adventurers, then we don't need to worry about him having any other hidden killer moves. It's not too bad, really.

He instantly grasped the key point and glanced at the bewildered Esmehalda.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Don't be alarmed, young mage. I can sense that these adventurers haven't left this mage tower; they've just been temporarily teleported to another room. This is Amalarui trick, and they'll be back to support us soon."

Xiao Yu's words calmed Esmehalda down.

She glanced gratefully at the Water Elemental.

Esmehalda (Mystic of Dalaran): "Don't worry, I'm not nervous, just a little excited. So, get ready, Amalarui, now let me challenge you."

Amalarui Fieldnan (Legendary Mage): "Heh, a very courageous move, foolish—but very courageous. Well then, let me instruct the younger generation, and have a fair duel, two against two, what do you say?"

Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "Two against two, you clearly only have one" -- Boom! A loud noise interrupted the female mage's words. Right below the high platform in Amalarui, a huge magic circle appeared. It was a summoning circle, Esmehalda could clearly sense, but it was different from the magic circle used to Summon Elemental Creature.

The runes of this magic circle looked somewhat unfamiliar and were green. A huge figure gradually emerged within the magic circle, and a sulfurous smell permeated the hall.

It's a demon! Esmehalda's pupils constricted as a gigantic Balor appeared in the hall, right before her and Xiao Yu's eyes.
