This time, Angmar finally had good luck.

The first boss to appear is a Water Elemental elder, only level 48, a mid-level boss template, with 250,000 HP.

They easily defeated them with almost no effort; not only did no one die, but even the tank's health never dropped below 50%.

The second boss to appear is a Frost Soul, level 51, a mid-level boss with 270,000 HP.

This boss was slightly more difficult, but only slightly. With a little effort, it was easily defeated again, and no one died.

Compared to the perilous situation when fighting the Big Water Cunt before, this was incomparable. However, Angmar wasn't too happy about it, because there was still a third boss to go. This dungeon required defeating all three bosses to get the rewards, and if Azathoth appeared at the end, it would still be game over.

Thinking this to himself, he looked again at the merman announcer—that meant there was only one left.

Luluqi (Elder Merman): "Well done, adventurers! You have once again proven your strength by defeating the mighty Frost Soul. Now, you only need to defeat the last trial participant to secure victory. This time, you will face a colossal beast from the depths of the ocean, a offspring of the Hydra Sgelari, captured by Lord Azathoth. It will now become your formidable enemy!"

Necrom (descendant of Sgelari), level 52, intermediate BOSS template, 330,000 HP.

Upon seeing the BOSS's name, Angmar immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "I've even taken down your ancestor, so I'm not afraid of your mere grandson."

This Necrom is far inferior to the Sgelari in appearance alone; it only has three heads and is much smaller, only a little over ten meters long.

It has three heads: one blue, one cyan, and one covered in fleshy growths. Based on Angmar's previous experience, one should breathe ice, one breathe lightning, and one bite.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a tactic had taken shape in his mind.

"Boromir, anti-sarcoma head, Druid anti-blue head, I'll tank the blue head."

Once the tasks were assigned, the battle began immediately.

Three people each tanked the attacks from the three heads, while the rest healed and dealt damage. Sure enough, this three-headed hydra was only slightly stronger than the previous two bosses. Each breath attack only dealt a few hundred or a thousand points of damage. If one tank were to tank all three heads, it would be difficult to withstand the damage, but if three tanks took the damage, it would be more than enough. In less than ten minutes, the hydra's health was reduced to below 50%.

With a resentful howl, the Hydra was driven back into its enclosure by the Water Elemental guards.

(Wow, I didn't expect this amulet to actually work! But could it just be a coincidence?) Touching the amulet, Angmar couldn't help but think this. Although he wasn't entirely sure if it was the amulet's doing, for him, spending two thousand points was much more worthwhile than risking a wipe in the dungeon. So after thinking about it, he decided that he would definitely buy the amulet every time he wanted to run this dungeon in the future.

Luluqi (Elder Merman): "Warriors, you have completed the Elemental Trial, proving your strength and courage. Now, come and collect your rewards. These weapons and equipment will better help you fight against the Horde."

A golden light descended from the sky, and within that light, a huge treasure chest appeared before the ten people. Inside, ten pieces of equipment were revealed at once, each corresponding to a specific class. Unfortunately, only two pieces were purple, while the other eight were blue. Nevertheless, it was still a very fruitful haul, as each person was guaranteed at least one piece.

As the guild leader, Angmar naturally made his choice first. He immediately spotted the armor among the two purple items, which would be a perfect replacement for the one he had previously lost.

[Name: Sea Serpent Hide Battle Armor]

[Category: Breastplate]

[Quality: Epic]

[Requirement: Level 45]

[Function: Armor +50, Health +600]

[Item Effect 1 (Passive): Power of Regeneration, restores 5 health per second.]

[Item Effect 2 (Passive): Elemental Resistance, reduces elemental damage taken by 10%]

[Note: The armor, made from the tough hide of a hydra, not only provides excellent protection but also possesses some strange abilities.]

(Haha, this is great stuff! But wait a minute, why does this Sea Serpent Hide Battle Armor look so familiar?) Angmar was surprised to find that the armor's attributes were exactly the same as the one he had dropped before. If the Naga and the Water Elemental weren't enemies and not even from the same faction, he would have thought this armor was the one he had dropped before.

However, this kind of equipment without a name prefix is not unique; it belongs to the purple gear that drops from the world, so Angmar didn't hesitate too much and put it on directly.

In addition to the equipment, each person also received a badge.

[Name: Elemental Champion's Mark]

[Category: Consumables]

[Quality: Average]

[Function: Use to enter the 'Lost City' battlefield]

[Note: This badge proves that you have passed the Elemental Trial. Your strength has been recognized. Now, you can travel to the Lost City to represent the Alliance and fight against the scum of the Horde.]

This Elemental Champion's Mark is actually a Battlefield Key. Besides obtaining it by completing dungeons, you can also purchase it directly from the Quartermaster using in-game currency. It's not expensive; you can buy it for just 10 in-game currency.

Battlegrounds are different from dungeons. Xiao Yu is taking a low-profit, high-volume approach. If the price is too high, too few people will play, and it might take half an hour to match a game. That would easily lead to a gradual loss of players coming to the large battlefield, and eventually no one would play at all. The price of 10 points is more reasonable. Basically, everyone can afford to play. You can even get battlefield keys by exchanging some materials without spending points. As long as you have the mining skill, you can mine them. Or you can buy them with in-game currency at the auction house.

In order to increase the number of players on the battlefield, Xiao Yu would also issue various tasks for adventurers to complete, and then give them Elemental Champion's Mark as rewards. For example, if someone accepted the Wipe Out the Naga Remnants and then cleared the Naga Cavern dungeon, they would also receive Elemental Champion's Mark as a reward. This way, some equipment from task rewards could be saved, and more adventurers could be drawn into the battlefield. It's actually the same principle as a promotion. The Elemental Champion's Mark is similar in nature to some free gifts in a supermarket.

"The Lost City Battlefield, hehe, this is not bad!" Angmar said with some surprise. This thing was actually worthless to him, but surprises are always exciting.

"Let's go, let's go to the battlefield."
