The Immortals-Advance

The army continued its advance and soon passed through the battle zone stained with blood. The blood of the fleeing Naga left streaks of crimson in the seawater. Following these streaks, the elemental army reached the edge of the Maelstrom half an hour later.

The fleeing Naga were now retreating into the Maelstrom, while in front of the Maelstrom, a giant whale, fifty or sixty meters long, was slowly floating there. On the head of the whale stood a Naga wearing a magnificent crystal robe.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller) is a Skeleton-level boss, level 52, with 840,000 health.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "Young Water Elemental Prince, are you lost, or are you so foolish as to challenge the power of the Naga!"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Get out of here, you ugly, deformed creatures! This is not a place for you. Go back to the shadows of the sea!"

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Siren): "What did you say!? How dare you, how dare you--!"

The Naga sea siren was furious. Xiao Yu knew perfectly well why she was angry. The Naga were once Night Elf living on the land. Their misuse of magic attracted the invasion of the Abyss demon army, the so-called War of the Ancients. The end result was the explosion of the Well of Eternity, and these Night Elf sank into the sea along with their queen, Azshara. They were transformed into the Naga by an evil force. Although they could survive in the ocean, their appearance became incredibly ugly. Xiao Yu was now reopening their wounds, causing real harm. Not to mention, women hate being called ugly, and even the Naga were essentially the same.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "Damn it, die!"

Lady Xiwadelin suddenly raised her hand, and a bolt of dark blue lightning, as thick as a bucket, shot towards Xiao Yu.

However, even a powerful crossbow cannot pierce fine silk. Due to the great distance, the lightning's power was continuously weakened during its transmission through the seawater, and by the time it struck Xiao Yu, it had little power left.

Boom! -1763. Xiao Yu shuddered. This amount of damage was nothing to him with his current 240,000 HP, but it still startled him. The two were hundreds of meters apart. To be able to project magic that far, this guy was pretty amazing.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Naga, your pathetic magic has no effect on me. Perhaps you should witness my power!"

He made a casting motion, but in reality, he didn't cast any spell. With his current strength, no spell could travel that far. He was waiting. Just before they got close, he had already sent Agnes and a group of ice demons ahead of time.

Lady Xiwadelin tensed up upon seeing Azathoth's actions, but after waiting for a long time without seeing any spells cast, she was puzzled when she suddenly felt uneasy. The surrounding water rippled, and she realized what was happening—but it was too late.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through her back. Turning around, she saw a transparent ice demon appear behind her.

The sharp ice spikes had already pierced her back; if they had gone in any deeper, they would have killed her. Fortunately, the magnificent priest's robes she wore were not as weak as they seemed, giving her some room to maneuver. If it had been a few seconds later, she might have been pierced through instantly.

Other ice demons launched attacks simultaneously from the surrounding area. Their transparent bodies could make them invisible, and only the ripples in the water caused by their movement alerted the Naga Tidecaller.

In the past, given the vast difference in strength between the two sides, Lady Xiwadelin wouldn't have needed to fear these low-level elemental creatures at all; she could have simply stood there and let them attack her at will. However, now, with the introduction of the Execute mechanic, even a skeleton-level boss could be instantly killed by a nobody. Humanoid creatures are the easiest to trigger Execute; if this Naga Tidecaller is dismembered at close range, it's hard to believe she'll survive.

However, Lady Xiwadelin's ability to command a large army and her courage to stay behind alone to cover the rear must have been due to her own strengths.

Magic Shield!

The magical energy was released as if it were a tangible substance, condensing into a blue spherical protective shield around her.

This Magic Shield is a hero skill; its effect is to replace all damage received with mana. As long as the mana is not exhausted, the magical shield will never be broken. In this way, the attacks of these ice demons immediately become ineffective.

The projectiles landed on the Magic Shield, displaying a series of blue text, but they couldn't harm Lady Xiwadelin inside the shield at all.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "You've angered me!" she declared coldly, raising her staff as if preparing a powerful attack.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Charge! All of you, charge!"

Xiao Yu couldn't allow her to turn her attention to killing his subordinates. Of course, the bigger reason was that he wanted to keep this BOSS alive. The fastest sirens and water demons swarmed forward, followed by sea and Water Elemental. Lady Xiwadelin seemed to have sensed something was wrong. She sneered and didn't unleash any powerful moves, but simply released a Shockwave that repelled all the ice demons surrounding her.

She gave Xiao Yu a cold look.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller): "Brave and fearless Water Elemental Prince, if you have the guts, then come along."

After saying that, she sharply tapped the giant whale beneath her feet with her staff. The whale suddenly turned its head and plunged into the Maelstrom, disappearing into the Enrage ocean current.

Xiao Yu watched the figure disappear into the Maelstrom, a cold smile creeping across his face. (A provocation—or just a bluff? Hmph, no matter what, I have no way out.)

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Everyone, prepare for attack! Follow me!"

Water Elemental Wotkud: "Your Highness, shouldn't we rest and recover before attacking? Our Warrior look rather tired."

Indeed, after the previous battle, although their health points have been restored, the recovery of their elemental power is much slower, and many of them only have about half of their elemental power left.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "No, if we stop, we'll only give the Naga more time to prepare. We've expended a lot of energy, but haven't those escaped Naga suffered the same fate? If we give them time, things will only get worse."

As Xiao Yu spoke, he walked directly to the edge of the Maelstrom. If he took another step forward, he would be swept into the turbulent current and dragged towards the Prime Material Plane. He turned around sharply, looking at the elemental army floating in the sea, at the sea elementals, Water Elemental, siren, water spirits, ice spirits, the BOSSes under his command, and the faces of the players. He decided to use his verbal skills once again.

Swimming upwards slightly to make sure everyone could see him, Xiao Yu carefully considered his words.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "It has been too long, trapped in this narrow space, working for the creatures of the Prime Material Plane for a few meager mineral materials. It has been too long, our strength wasted in endless internal strife, engaging in endless but meaningless battles with other elemental races. It has been too long, the once proud elemental race has been driven back to this barren desert, sinking into oblivion for millions of years."

Our past glory has been forgotten, our former splendor is no longer mentioned, and the elemental race seems to have fallen. But this is not the case. I see hope, I see power, and I see the opportunity to change all of this in you.

Today will be the day all this shame ends, the day my elemental race rises again! I will lead you to the Prime Material Plane, where we will establish our kingdom, where we will defeat all enemies who dare to stand in our way. I will lead you to recreate the glory and honor of the elemental race, and create an unprecedented future! The Immortals —living forever, eternally existing!

"The Immortals —living forever, eternally existing!" The Water Elemental recruited in the Tower of Amalarui all roared in unison.

"The Immortals —immortal and eternal!" their subordinates roared in unison.

"The Immortals —Eternal Life, Forever!" The players joined in the shout. Perhaps they didn't even know what the Immortals were, but they just thought the slogan sounded good, so they shouted along and Boiling.

The sea and Water Elemental that Xiao Yu borrowed from Neptulon quickly joined in the roar. Perhaps they were just NPCs, but this time, they seemed to have their own souls, shouting from the bottom of their hearts.

The cry of "The Immortals —Eternal Life, Forever and Ever!" echoed across the sea.

The sea Elemental Lords Monari and his friends were horrified. The roar was like a tidal wave, rising and falling, and it had the unstoppable power of the ocean.

"Damn, why didn't I come up with a catchy slogan before?" Monari muttered. "But this guy's talk is really awesome."

Seeing that the morale had been boosted, Xiao Yu nodded to himself; it was time.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Everyone prepare! I will lead the charge. All forces, target: the Maelstrom!" With that, he charged into the Maelstrom.

The players were incredibly excited; this was their first time experiencing cross-dimensional combat, and they all hurriedly followed.

Rows upon rows of elemental creatures rushed into the Maelstrom, without hesitation, like moths drawn to a flame. In less than five minutes, the entire elemental army had entered the Maelstrom, leaving only the three BOSS players from the Boundless Sea and their minions, watching with complex expressions as the figures disappeared into the Maelstrom.
