Just This Arrogant

Whether he could succeed or not depended on this moment. Xiao Yu really didn't have much confidence in taking on Agutanis one-on-one, so he couldn't help but look at the other adventurers.

At this moment, the adventurers on both flanks had already advanced, with melee classes in front and spellcasters behind, crushing everything in their path like bulldozers, pushing the already scattered Naga forces forward and forming a pincer attack.

Agutanis (Naga Highlord): "Tremble before the power of the tides!" -- Tsunami!

Tsunami Spell: Summons a massive tsunami to crash into enemies, dealing continuous physical damage to targets in front and knocking them back.

Tsunami is a strategic-level spell, ranking alongside Earthquake, Tornado, and Volcanic Eruption as one of the top ten strategic-level spells. This means that this spell can strategically influence the outcome of a battle. Suddenly, a wave appeared out of nowhere, and the seawater rushed towards them. The waves grew higher and higher, reaching seven or eight meters high by the time they reached the Water Elemental formation. It was like a wall pressing down on them, with an astonishing momentum. However, Xiao Yu was not nervous.

(You attacked the Water Elemental with a tsunami? Are you out of your mind?) Xiao Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he immediately stopped laughing. The tsunami did not cause much damage to the Water Elemental army, at most it only disrupted the Water Elemental formation. However, the Naga troops instantly doubled their speed in the seawater, rushing over like fish in water. Moreover, because the tsunami briefly obscured the Water Elemental's field of fire, in the blink of an eye, groups of Naga rode the waves and charged into the Water Elemental Legion's formation.

Wow, that was amazing! As soon as they clashed, Xiao Yu realized that this Tide Lord truly lived up to its reputation as a 3-skeletal-level BOSS. Not only were its spells powerful, but the timing of its attacks was also extremely precise. With just one spell, it managed to turn the tide of the battle.

As the Naga Highlord led a group of Naga Royal Guards into the Water Elemental's formation, slaughtering them like butter, the first line of defense, which was already on the verge of collapse, crumbled instantly. Then came the second and the third lines. With the Naga Highlord as the spearhead, the Naga forces broke through all three lines in an instant, creating a gap in the Water Elemental Legion' thin horizontal formation.

Although the spellcasting troops kept throwing area-of-effect spells at the gap, it had little effect on the Naga Royal Guards, who generally had tens of thousands of health points.

Damn it, we can't let them keep advancing! If the Naga Highlord really manages to break through the Water Elemental Legion's formation, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if I win in the end, my troops will probably suffer heavy casualties.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "The Immortals —immortal, eternal, forever existing, attack!"

Then he led five hundred Immortal Legion and charged straight at them.

(The Naga Highlord is too powerful; ordinary elemental creatures simply cannot withstand his attacks. I have at least 570,000 HP, so I have no choice but to go head-to-head with him.) Xiao Yu thought to himself as he unleashed a Fission Orb.

A transparent energy ball emitting an eerie purple light flew towards it, but the Naga Highlord didn't pay much attention until the energy ball exploded on its body and the eerie energy spread outwards. Only then did it suddenly realize something was wrong. Its body shuddered with intense pain, its armor seemed to be useless, and it felt as if countless tiny needles were pricking its body. Looking at its exposed skin, it saw countless tiny holes.

This is precisely what makes the Fission Orb so terrifying: it acts directly on the material level, causing full, real damage.

-763! A huge red number appeared, followed by another huge white number: -4000!

The injury was secondary; the most important thing was that Agutanis sensed a dangerous whiff.

Agutanis (Naga Highlord): "All of you, charge! Kill this Elemental Lords!" With that, he brandished his two-handed greatsword and charged forward, followed by a swarm of Naga royal guards.

Xiao Yu dared not engage in close combat with him. Despite Xiao Yu's taller and larger physique, strictly speaking, Water Elemental were more of a magic-based monster.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Feel the power of the sea! Deep Sea Maelstrom!"

The Enrage torrents pulled at the surrounding seawater, forming a massive whirlpool in front of Xiao Yu. One by one, the Naga Royal Guards were drawn towards the center of the whirlpool by its force. However, Agutanis was surprisingly strong, completely ignoring the pull of the whirlpool and still charging towards Xiao Yu.

"It really is a hierarchy that suppresses people!" Xiao Yu thought to himself, then raised his hand again.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Spirit of Frost —heed my call!" Three colossal Water Elemental were summoned, and Frostfire Bolt rained down on Agutanis, emitting a constant hissing, scorching sound.

Xiao Yu hid behind three giant Water Elemental, thinking to himself that these three guys alone would be enough to keep him busy for a while.

Agutanis (Naga Highlord): "Is this your magic? Is this your power? You dare challenge me with such abilities, you foolish elemental creature? It's time to awaken!"

As he spoke, he suddenly swung his greatsword, a flash of black light on the blade, and actually sliced a Water Elemental in two.

The Execute effect activated—with a "poof," the massive Water Elemental, over five meters tall, instantly turned into a pool of hot water, merging into the seawater beneath its feet.

(Holy crap, that's awesome!) This really scared Xiao Yu. Logically speaking, the chance of elemental creatures being Execute is very low, but this BOSS in front of him obviously has such an ability. Almost subconsciously, Xiao Yu wanted to retreat, but fortunately he still had some rationality.

If I run away now, what will those adventurers think of me? What will my subordinates think of me? If this dark history is exposed when I compete for the title of strongest BOSS in the future, will I still be able to hold my head high?

But now the only hope for a response is from adventurers, the problem is that the adventurers are too far away, and asking for help would be too beneath him. But then—a thought suddenly struck him: he didn't need to ask for help at all.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Adventurers, now, witness the power of the elements!" This shout was exceptionally loud, and instantly, all the adventurers who were fighting turned to look.

Biting Wind Protection! An Enrage airflow surged around Xiao Yu's body. Although this spell could not completely deflect the opponent's attack, it could at least partially deflect it, reducing the chance of being Execute.

Then, Xiao Yu clashed with the Naga Highlord.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he lost 50,000 to 60,000 health points in just a few sword strikes. His Frostfire Bolt, which he used to strike the Naga Highlord, also dealt 50,000 to 60,000 damage. The only problem was that the Naga Highlord had over 8 million health points, while he only had a little over 500,000.

If this continued, he would almost certainly die, but he didn't think the adventurers would just stand by and watch him be killed.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw Azathoth lose health, the surrounding adventurers rushed forward without regard for their own lives.

"Quickly, heal the NPC! We can't let it die!"

"Quickly activate buffs, add whatever you can."

Even from a distance, various buffs rained down on Xiao Yu as if they were free.

Arcane Intellect, Ice Armor, Enlarge, Elemental Resistance, Nature's Will, and Thorn Armor —while the buffs applied to ordinary adventurers are generally ineffective, the sheer number of them—instantly absorbing dozens of buffs—significantly boosted Xiao Yu's combat power.

However, he still couldn't win. Fortunately, various healing spells followed, and his health was barely enough to hold on. However, the danger of Execute still existed, so Xiao Yu shouted again.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "You lowly Naga, you think you Execute me with that piece of scrap metal? How naive!" He shouted fiercely, but it also immediately alerted the adventurers.

"Damn, yeah, this game has Execute effect! Quickly pull the BOSS's aggro away, don't let him Execute the NPCs, or the quest will fail!" The guild leaders shouted, and immediately, Warrior, rogues, Paladin, assassins, barbarians, and other melee classes rushed over in droves, surrounding the Naga Highlord in layers. Swords, spears, axes, and other weapons rained down on the Naga Highlord, while mages, hunters, Warlock unleashed a barrage of Misdirection, Taunt, taunts, Provoke, Insult, and all sorts of aggro-drawing skills at the Naga Highlord without restraint.

Unable to bear the humiliation, the Naga Highlord brandished her greatsword and engaged the adventurers in battle.

Xiao Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He quietly took a few steps back and began throwing Frostfire Bolt from a distance.

He threw it while shouting.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Feel the power of the elements!"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Now, accept the judgment of the Immortals!"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Your power is meaningless to me; you cannot harm me at all."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "You lowly creature, now you know how insignificant you are! Azathoth is invincible."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Prepare yourself! Your destiny is to become my defeated foe. You should be proud of it!"

Each line of dialogue was more arrogant and domineering than the last, infuriating the Naga Highlord and leaving the adventurers dumbfounded. They thought, "What gives this high-level boss the right to be so arrogant? If we hadn't intervened, he'd be dead already! Is this guy really a descendant of the God of Elements? Would the system have protected him if we hadn't intervened?"

Over the past two days, rumors about the Big Water Cunt have spread among the players. However, despite many people thinking this way, no one has stopped attacking. It's not just about completing the quest; the equipment on the boss is also incredibly tempting.

Under the siege of hundreds of adventurers, the Naga Highlord's health was visibly dropping to half.
