The ultimate showdown

"Look who's here," Naiser said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yu.

The power of the Nephalem within him had reached an astonishing level. With hundreds of layers of buffs on him, Naiser believed himself to be invincible. Whether it was angels or demons, dragons or evil gods, they were all nothing but trash in front of the Greater Nephalem. Perhaps that was why he appeared so relaxed and confident at this moment.

Naiser (King of Purgatory): "Where is your army? Where is that Firelord? And all your miscellaneous minions? Bring them all out. I'll cut them all down at once, so I don't have to hunt them down one by one after I've finished you off. Wasting time isn't a good habit."

Azathoth (Elemental King): "I don't need those useless bastards to get rid of you; I alone am enough."

Despite the other party's imposing manner, Xiao Yu still retorted domineeringly, "Now, let's settle this."

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Naiser said, and suddenly a pair of wings of light sprouted from behind him. Naiser, with his large wings, charged towards Xiao Yu.

Without a doubt, Naiser is a Warrior -type boss. Judging from the recordings of previous matches, Xiao Yu knows that Nesser primarily uses close-quarters combat.

However, due to the special effect of the Dark Ripper in his hand, he can often cut through the body of a giant monster that is more than ten meters long with a single sword strike. The blade is unstoppable wherever it goes, and it can cut through armor, scales and protective spells with a single strike.

Moreover, Naiser's mobility and resistance to magic have reached an extremely abnormal level, and ordinary debuffs have no effect on him at all.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand, is a spellcasting boss, especially in his human form, where he gives the impression of being a mage.

Therefore, the most basic tactical concept for a spellcaster facing a melee boss is to prevent them from getting close.

Xiao Yu also adhered to this philosophy in the battle. He did not unleash his ultimate move right away. Naiser currently had more than 300 layers of Nephalem Valor, which meant that his attributes were more than four times the normal level. It was almost impossible to kill him in one move. The best way was to wear him down and slowly exhaust him with endless magic.

Therefore, Xiao Yu directly used a self-created magic spell.

Ice Prison! A ring of ice walls appeared around Naiser, completely enclosing him. The thick ice walls were over a meter thick, and the solid ice was as hard as iron.

Naiser suddenly swung his longsword, shattering the ice wall, but immediately a second and third ice prison appeared before him.

Xiao Yu continuously cast Ice Prison. This kind of magic had almost no effect on him. He didn't expect these ice walls to trap his opponent; he only needed to delay Naiser for a little while.

"Burn! Purgatory Fire!" Suddenly, Naiser unleashed raging flames. These were demonic fires he had absorbed after Execute countless demons. The flames easily burned the surrounding ice walls into water. Naiser charged forward, cutting through everything in his path as cleanly as a rolling knife through butter, leaving behind a huge, burnt-through gap.

Stone Wall!

Xiao Yu immediately changed tactics. Walls made of earth and stone appeared in front of Naiser. Each of these stone walls was more than ten meters wide and long, and could be easily bypassed. However, in Naiser's opinion, it would be more efficient to cut them down than to bypass them. Naiser desperately swung his greatsword, breaking down the stone and earth walls layer by layer, and then blocking them again.

(Such fast casting speed, how did he do that?) A hint of surprise flashed through Naiser's mind. In fact, the viewers watching the live stream had the same question.

Generally speaking, unless it's a basic spell like Flame Missiles, spells have a cooldown. Even Flame Missiles has a 0.5-second global cooldown. But Azathoth's spellcasting is like a machine gun.

The answer is that Xiao Yu was not using the magic provided by the system, but rather a self-created spell formed by condensing the elemental power within his body. It was completely unrestricted by the system and had no concept of skill cooldown time. As long as the elemental power within his body was not exhausted and as long as his energy output was sufficient, he could release it continuously. And as the Elemental King, Xiao Yu's elemental power was extraordinary.

"Get out of my way! Get out of my way! All of you, get out of my way!"

He shattered the stone wall blocking his path once more, and seeing even more stone walls appear before him, Naiser's face showed a hint of annoyance. Suddenly, he raised the Dark Ripper high in his hand.

Cleave!

This skill is possessed by almost every combat-type boss.

[Cleave: Unleashes a powerful cleave strike forward, dealing physical damage equal to the caster's maximum attack power to targets in front and triggering a knockback effect.]

In the Sky World, this skill is as common as Taizu Long Fist in the world of martial arts. However, just as the power of Taizu Long Fist varies greatly depending on who uses it, the power of this ordinary skill used by Naiser is also extraordinary.

A crescent-shaped stream of air suddenly shot out from his hand, rushing forward and breaking through more than a dozen stone walls in one breath.

However, it triggered the Dark Ripper's weapon effect— Dimensional Rend.

Seeing his carefully constructed defenses collapse, Xiao Yu remained calm. In fact, he had already prepared a series of tactics for Naiser, and he also had plans for his next move.

Azathoth (Elemental King): "In the name of the elements, I bestow upon you the power of the earth!" -- Gravity Trap!

This magic was also created by Xiao Yu himself. It is somewhat similar to Gravity Barrier. The difference is that Gravity Barrier increases the gravity of the ground in a certain area, while Gravity Trap makes a target a gravity source. This gravity source is Naiser. Since there is no gravity in the Void, the floating stone wall fragments around him were immediately attracted by Naiser huge gravity emanating from Naiser and flew towards him.

Naiser, unaware that it was due to his own gravity, mistook it for some kind of area-of-effect attack skill of Xiao Yu. He snapped his fingers, and the speed of the surrounding space suddenly slowed down—which he immediately interpreted as his speed increasing. Then, the Dark Ripper in his hand began to slash wildly at the surroundings at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

In just one second, hundreds or even thousands of attacks were unleashed.

Infinite Chain Slash!

[Infinite Chain Slash: A slash that deals base damage to a target. If the target is destroyed, a second slash can be performed immediately. The speed of the slash is related to agility.]
