Cutscene Forcibly Skipped

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Hmph, to actually take orders from a Naga bitch, you Elemental Will are truly remarkable. Back when Azshara attacked the Lost Island, I made her suffer a crushing defeat, and this time will be no exception. Hurry up and prepare for battle, or your queen will be angry."

Xiao Yu appeared confident and fearless; at least in terms of his aura, he had completely overwhelmed his opponent.

Monari (Sea Elemental Lords): "Hey, how about we talk some more? Actually, if you could join our Elemental Will, it would benefit both of us. If we go to war, both sides will suffer heavy casualties regardless of who wins or loses. The competition for the strongest BOSS is fierce. If we both suffer heavy losses and neither of us gets selected, that wouldn't be worth it."

Gonggong hesitated, mainly because Azathoth's record was too strong. He had even killed a six-skull-level Dreadlord, and he looked rather frightening in his current state. Just as Monari had said, it wouldn't be worth it if there were too many casualties even if they won.

Monari (Sea Elemental Lords): "Actually, we don't need to fight each other. Although you rejected our goodwill, you are still an elemental being. As long as you submit to us and join our Elemental Will, we can talk. We can even add a seat for you in our Elemental Council."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment. Should he try to calm them down first?

However, before any agreement could be reached on this side, the adventurers on the other side couldn't hold back any longer.

Predator: "Damn it, what are you talking about? Let's fight!"

The Ancestral Barbarian: "Attack! Attack! My greatsword is itching for a fight!"

Rampaging Pumpkin: "Damn it, why is this cutscene so long? These bosses are so slow with their dialogue. Are they going to stop fighting soon? Sigh, it's a pity this isn't a cutscene and can't be skipped."

The Strategic Genius Senior Colonel Chu, "That's not necessarily true. I've thought of a way to skip the plot—just throw a fireball at the enemy boss."

The Godfather's Godfather: "Sounds interesting, let's just go for it!"

War Soul King: "Hey, Horde pigs over there, why don't we just attack them?"

Bull Demon King: "Alright, Alliance dogs, if you want to go for it, we'll go for it too!"

The guild leaders of the Alliance and the Horde discussed it amongst themselves and decided, "Let's not wait for the NPCs to reach a conclusion, let's just start fighting."

So, no one knows who released the first fireball, and immediately, the battle broke out among the adventurers. First came a few scattered fireballs and ice arrows, and then soon a dense barrage of ranged attacks rained down on the Elemental Will Legion in the sea.

The Elemental Will on this side was naturally not to be outdone.

"Oh no, the enemy has made a move! We must fight back!"

Then, a barrage of Frostbolt, Frost Orb, and Blizzard rained down on the adventurers.

The battle quickly escalated into a full-blown melee.

[System Notification: A story event has been triggered: the Second Lost Island War. Based on your performance in this event, you will receive corresponding reputation points.]

The three people who were negotiating heard the system notification almost simultaneously.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "It seems our negotiations for today will have to end here."

Monari (Sea Elemental Lords): "Wait a minute, think it over again."

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "There's no need. Destroying you is much simpler than considering how to cooperate with you."

As he spoke, he began to circulate the Power of Chaos within his body, preparing to make his move.

Xiao Yu hadn't actually used the Chaos Elemental skills in real combat yet, so he naturally opted to use his ultimate move right now, especially when facing a dense horde of Water Elemental and Naga army.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Netherstorm!"

He crossed his arms and clenched his fists, as if tearing something apart. Then, a black wind appeared above the sea, and the space emitted a sharp howl, like metal scraping against glass amplified ten thousand times, extremely piercing. The black rift tore wider and wider as Azathoth opened his arms, and a powerful Netherstorm was released from the rift.

In the cosmology of the Sky World, tangible matter forms worlds, while formless dark energy creates the Twisting Nether. The Twisting Nether connects all these worlds; it is an alternate world filled with chaotic energy, the home of Void Demons, and the source of Arcane energy. The Twisting Nether lacks oxygen for life, filled with chaotic energy and deadly rays, allowing only Void creatures to survive.

At that moment, a rift leading to the Twisting Nether opened, and chaotic energy and various deadly energy streams surged out, unleashing Enrage destructive force. All Water Elemental, sea elementals, ice elementals, and Naga that were struck by the storm were like snowmen thrown into a greenhouse, melting under the impact of the Enrage energy streams, or being torn into countless pieces of flesh and blood. In just a dozen seconds, three or four hundred cannon fodder soldiers died under the Netherstorm.

The two Elemental Lords also suffered some damage. Although they were mostly unharmed due to their high health, the destructive power still left them speechless.

Monari (Elder of the Sea Element): "My God, what kind of skill is this? What kind of power is this?"

Gonggong (Frost Titan): "Damn it, don't think you're the only one who can use such a powerful move. Now—bear the power of winter!" Frost Storm!

The biting wind swept across the beach like blades, but this ice magic had no effect on the Water Elemental —they were immune to ice damage. A few adventurers who were exchanging blows with the Water Elemental on the beach were blown to death—only a few, after all, adventurers are tough and don't die easily. It was a bit of a case of much ado about nothing.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Hahahaha, is this your power? I must say, it's a bit disappointing. Well then, let's see this next." Flamestrike!

Xiao Yu immediately used the Elemental Conversion function, unleashing a Flamestrike that burned large swathes of Water Elemental to death. Fire damage deals 200% damage to Water Elemental, and it was equally devastating to the Naga. Moreover, the enemies in front of him were so densely packed that within a dozen seconds, another two or three hundred troops perished in the flames.

(A trash soldier is worth 50 yuan, and five or six hundred of them died at once, that's twenty or thirty thousand! Damn it, I can't stand it anymore, I'm rushing up and fighting them!)

Monari thought with a bleeding heart, "The adventurers over there are also constantly reaping the lives of the Water Elemental in the sea. Although they are not as fierce as Azathoth, they are cutting flesh with a dull knife. In just a short time, they have killed several hundred elemental creatures with elemental Elemental Will."

Monari (Sea Elemental Lords): "Fight him! Charge! Naga Highlord, get your men on the offensive!"

And so, the densely packed Naga army and elemental army began to surge toward the beach.

"Haha, well done!"

"Great, finally we can use our skills!" Those melee classes who had nothing to do all day now stepped up to the challenge, and the adventurers formed formations of dozens or even hundreds of people to meet the monster's tidal wave of attacks.

As long as you don't die in these battles, they're definitely a great place to grind experience. Melee classes like Warrior, Paladin, and Druid act as tanks in front, while spellcasters, ranged classes, and healers stay behind to cast spells and provide healing. This classic trio easily reaps experience. As long as no boss rushes in to disrupt the formation, ordinary monsters will die no matter how many come.

In less than five minutes, the entire beach was in complete chaos, with a full-scale battle raging.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, while his soldiers and adventurers were locked in fierce combat with their opponents, Xiao Yu also encountered the Frost Titan and the Sea Elemental Lords.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "The two of you are no match for me. Let Azshara come out and fight me instead." He said in a contemptuous tone.

Gonggong (Frost Titan): "Damn it, don't look down on me!" The Frost Titan charged forward, its body over twenty meters tall. With each step, it was like a giant mech from Pacific Ocean Rim, rumbling as it charged. Then it slammed down with a fist the size of a locomotive, smashing down on Azathoth, who was only two meters tall, as if it were hitting an ant with a hammer.

Gonggong's plan was simple: it was obviously impossible to fight to the death to determine a winner. If he couldn't win, he could just run away. In a boss battle of this level, unless there were powerful crowd control skills, it would be very difficult to keep anyone in place.

Therefore, finding a way to Execute is very important. Right now, Azathoth is only a medium-sized creature, while the Frost Titan is a super-sized creature. This makes it easy to deliver a crushing attack. Once you deliver a crushing attack and shatter it into pieces, you can kill it no matter how much health it has.

However, Xiao Yu was already prepared. As soon as he saw the fist coming down, he immediately activated the Chaos Barrier.

Instantly, a dark protective shield completely enveloped him, like a black sphere. Since Xiao Yu himself was also black, he blended into the darkness. The sand was already quite soft, and the Chaos Barrier's defense was exceptionally hard. As a result, this punch actually slammed Azathoth into the sand like a lead ball.

Xiao Yu felt a bit annoyed. Damn it, all sorts of bizarre things have started happening since the game's physics engine was revamped. There's even a situation where you can get buried in the ground. It doesn't hurt, but it's still so embarrassing.

Gonggong, however, had no idea what had happened. He thought he had flattened the other party, so to be on the safe side, he continued to smash the ground, punch after punch, like a pile driver, until he had smashed a huge crater in the sand before stopping. But he never heard the system notification sound, nor did he see any red damage numbers.

Unfortunately, the Chaos Barrier, an upgraded BOSS skill, has a durability of 20% of the caster's health. Azathoth has over six million health, meaning the Chaos Barrier has over a million durability. These few hits only dealt a few hundred thousand damage, far from breaking the shield.
