Killing a Higher-Tier Enemy
The Dreadlord was clearly taken aback by Azathoth's assertion of refusing to cooperate, and was immediately enraged.
I'm a mighty demon king from the Abyssal Hell, who do you think you are?
Balnazzar (Dreadlord): "Arrogant Elemental Lords, you have no idea what you're talking about. You think I'm afraid of you? Don't be so naive! Before the power of demons, you are nothing."
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Words won't save your life. Attack with all your might!"
The two bosses faced off, each gathering their power to unleash it in an instant, and the air itself seemed to grow heavy with tension.
The people around, whether demons or Paladin, almost instinctively began to back away.
Just as the atmosphere reached its peak of tension, almost simultaneously, the Elemental Lords and the Dreadlord unleashed their respective skills.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Witness the Power of Pure Water!" -- Frost Barrier!
The elemental power within him was suddenly released, and the Power of Annihilation made the elemental power incredibly strong. Instantly, a tangible cold spread in all directions, the surrounding air became frigid, and the ground and vegetation were all coated with a layer of frost, as if winter had arrived. Originally, this skill would have also affected the surrounding Dawn Knights, but because they had the Flame Protection buff, they were unexpectedly unaffected by the Chill effect.
The demons weren't so lucky. Except for the four Hell demons, who were covered in fire and wouldn't be frozen, only injured, the other demons were frozen into ice sculptures after only a few struggles, completely unable to move.
At this moment, only this skill can break the current situation. Killing all these demons is unrealistic, so trapping them in cold is more worthwhile.
The Dreadlord was also quite frozen, but as a six-skull-level boss, his high stats made him completely immune to the Freeze effect.
Balnazzar (Dreadlord): "Life is meaningless, only death is eternal!" -- Finger of Death!
However, Balnazzar immediately unleashed another BOSS skill – Finger of Death.
Finger of Death: Instantly checks for an instant-death effect on a target. If the target fails the check, it is killed instantly. If the target succeeds, it deals massive true damage and inflicts a grievous wound effect. (The instant-death effect is ineffective against non-flesh-and-blood units such as Undead, constructs, and elementals.)
This skill is theoretically one of the strongest skills in one-on-one combat. Against ordinary enemies, there is a high chance of instant kill. Even a BOSS-level being like Abbendis might not be able to withstand it. Even if it can withstand it, the severe injury effect will greatly weaken the target's combat power.
Unfortunately, its power is greatly reduced when dealing with elemental creatures, which are not made of flesh and blood.
A beam of red light suddenly shot into Azathoth, -17360! A huge damage number appeared, but it was useless. For Azathoth, who had more than six million health, this damage was just a tickle. And the Execute and grievous wounds effects could not be triggered. As a result, Azathoth shrugged and did not react at all.
Xiao Yu appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly startled. The Holy Light of the Finger of Death was incredibly powerful; he had thought he was going to be severely injured, but it hadn't caused him any damage at all. He thought to himself, "Oh dear, they actually dare to use their ultimate move on me. Well then, just you wait and see what I can do."
Blazing Sun Ray!
A scorching ray shot out from his hand and struck the Dreadlord. Because of his transformation, the Dreadlord was now a gigantic entity, seven or eight meters tall, and could not dodge quickly enough. He was hit squarely by the Blazing Sun Ray.
It's easy to see the disadvantages of a huge size here. Although they have higher health and greater strength, they are also more cumbersome and less agile than smaller creatures.
This Blazing Sun Ray deals six times the damage of other rays. When it hits the Dreadlord, it burns away thousands of health points every second. The Dreadlord's health plummeted, and damage numbers such as -3124, -3541, and -3246 kept appearing above its head.
Three thousand per second, that's 180,000 per minute! And this is just at the beginning. The power of the Blazing Sun Ray skill gradually increases over time. In less than ten seconds, the Blazing Sun Ray suddenly thickened, Dreadlord to lose five or six thousand health points per second. After being burned for a while, the Dreadlord seemed to realize the danger and charged forward to engage in melee combat.
With a flap of its wings, it swooped down on Azathoth like a giant bird.
(Trying to fight me hand-to-hand? You're asking for it!)
Xiao Yu wasn't afraid of him at all. In terms of size, the Elemental Lords was far larger than the Dreadlord. In terms of strength, Xiao Yu now possessed six times the elemental power. He immediately activated the Biting Wind Protection, and a wall of wind formed around him. The Dreadlord crashed into him and was immediately bounced away.
Enrage Tornado!
Azathoth pushed with both hands, and a huge Tornado was thrown out. The Dreadlord was caught in the Tornado before he even landed and was struck by Tornado from within. Just as the Tornado was about to end, Azathoth waved his hand again.
Fission Orb!
Boom! The enormous energy ball struck the Dreadlord who was falling from the sky, blasting him directly to the ground.
This series of attacks was actually executed by Azathoth in a combo-like fashion. The Dreadlord struggled to get up, but Azathoth rushed over, grabbed the Dreadlord by the neck with one hand and pressed him to the ground, while the Blazing Sun Ray from the other hand burned his chest like a welder welding a steel plate.
The Dreadlord screamed in pain, struggling desperately, but it couldn't break free.
Balnazzar (Dreadlord): "Curse you! I Curse your soul!" -- Curse of Aging!
The black light fell on Azathoth, flashed briefly, and then disappeared; the Curse had no effect on elemental creatures either.
Balnazzar (Dreadlord): "Flames, devour your soul!" -- Soul Fire!
However, it only dealt a few thousand points of damage, offering no help in his current desperate situation.
Balnazzar (Dreadlord): "Damn it, how could this be? Hell, come and help your master!"
However, the Hell Clan's Scarlet Paladin were holding them back so tightly that they couldn't get through.
And so, the Dreadlord's chest was scorched by the Blazing Sun Ray for a full three or four minutes. The Blazing Sun Ray in Azathoth's hand grew thicker and thicker, until finally, a huge beam of light as thick as a bucket appeared. Suddenly, with a whoosh, the scorching beam of light burned through the Dreadlord's body completely.
The Execute effect was triggered—Ah! A bloodcurdling scream rang out as Balnazzar's body convulsed. Flames blazed from the inside out, scorching his body until it finally gave way. With a thud, he transformed into countless bats that flew off in all directions.
Xiao Yu was prepared. Dreadlord are extremely difficult to kill. These demons are somewhat similar to vampires. Before they die, they can use a skill to transform into countless bats. The soul of the Dreadlord resides in these bats, and given time, there is still a chance for it to be resurrected. Therefore, Xiao Yu absolutely could not let them escape. He had already activated Ice Barrier. As soon as the bats flew out, they were affected by the barrier. Before they could even flutter a few times, they were frozen in mid-air and fell to the ground.
