Lady Xiwadelin Died Again

After passing through the merfolk's territory, the monsters blocking their way quickly transformed into even larger sea beasts. In a huge cavern, they encountered the second boss of the Lost Temple dungeon: a giant dragon turtle over twenty meters long.

Gaierdela, the Dragon Turtle King, is a 4-skull-level boss with 4.85 million HP.

At this point, out of hundreds of teams, more than forty teams had defeated the first boss and entered the room of the second boss. After all, the Little Murloc was the gatekeeper boss, so the difficulty couldn't be too high. Luck played a large part in War Soul King's ability to get the first kill.

Xiao Yu then opened the information on the second BOSS.

This dragon turtle king, Gaierdela, was a giant dragon turtle he found in the dragon turtle camp after defeating the Naga on the island. Gaierdela had been imprisoned by the Naga and its offspring were forced to fight for Naga. After Xiao Yu freed it, Gaierdela voluntarily became one of the Immortals. Unexpectedly, it had grown so big in just one year.

This dragon turtle boss is a typical stationary boss. It has thick skin and high defense, moves slowly, and is protected by its Sturdy Shell buff throughout the entire fight, reducing physical damage taken by 33% upon first contact.

In Phase 1, Stomp are two skills: Bite and Bite can deal physical damage to the target and inflict a bleeding effect.

The Stomp once every 10 seconds, dealing 3540 points of shock damage to surrounding units and causing a disorientation effect. Overall, it poses little threat.

In Phase 2, Gaierdela gained two new skills: Ocean Current Impact and High-Pressure Breath.

The Ocean Current Impact can deal 4,000-7,000 ice damage to a fan-shaped area, which is quite powerful, but it is not difficult to dodge as long as you pay attention to your positioning.

High-Pressure Breath: Sprays a high-pressure water jet in a straight line. Targets hit are knocked back, dealing 5000 physical damage. If they are pushed against a wall, they will take an additional 6000 physical damage and be stunned for 3 seconds. Basically, if a backline character is hit and hit against a wall, it's an instant kill.

However, as I said before, it's not difficult to dodge as long as you pay attention to your positioning.

In Phase 3, Gaierdela gains the Turtle Shell Technique, the Summon Minions, and the ability to consume three skills.

Every three minutes, Gaierdela will cast a Turtle Shell Technique, retracting his entire body into his shell and becoming Invincible during this time. At the same time, a large number of small dragon turtles will be summoned. After clearing out the small monsters, Gaierdela will resume the battle.

Gaierdela uses the Devour ability once every minute, devouring a unit and causing it to suffer 50 points of true damage per second for 100 seconds.

Overall, this boss isn't too difficult, because the dragon turtle, like most Marine Life, is weak against fire, and the Glory War Soul has no shortage of fire mages. Considering that there are many aquatic creatures in this dungeon, the War Soul King brought a full ten fire mages with him out of the forty players.

Although Gaierdela has strong attack power, it doesn't have any special skills, so tanks can easily withstand monster attacks.

At the Dragon Turtle King, For Glory War Soul experienced its first wipe because they didn't notice the Devour in the third phase, and the tank was instantly devoured. As a result, the second tank couldn't hold the monster, and the team was wiped out quickly. However, they did manage to reduce Gaierdela's health to 20%, so they easily passed the second time.

Gaierdela (King of the Dragon Turtles): "The weight of life... can only be understood... when you let go... Lord Azathoth... goodbye..."

With a howl, Gaierdela flipped over and died. Unfortunately, Glory War Soul didn't get the first kill this time. Just when they were wiped out for the first time, another guild called [Five Fireball Cult] got the first kill on the Dragon Turtle King.

However, the loot was still plentiful. As soon as he opened the BOSS's corpse, War Soul King's eyes lit up.

Gaierdela's Shell (Epic Shield).

Ancient Life Core (Epic Trinket).

Crimson Dragonscale Battle Armor (Epic Breastplate).

Gaierdela's Fury (Epic One-Handed Hammer).

Gaierdela's Stomach (20-slot backpack).

Five items dropped, not bad. We happily divided the loot and moved on to the next boss.

Before even reaching Boss Number 3's room, War Soul King received bad news from his spy planted in the High Heaven Pavilion: "Boss, High Heaven Pavilion has already taken down Boss Number 3."

"What? Then we'd better speed things up."

They continued onward, but the road became rugged, and this time they encountered a new enemy: the Naga.

"Holy crap, there are Naga too? What's going on? Aren't Naga allies of the Horde?" War Soul King muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered that he had indeed encountered quite a few Naga on the Lost Island, but those Naga were supposed to be enemies of the Elemental King, so how did they end up as bosses in the dungeon?

Continuing onward, in a temple-like hall, they encountered the third boss, Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Tidecaller), a 5-skull-level boss with 4.87 million health.

"Holy crap, it's this guy!? Azathoth really is having an affair with the Naga."

The members of For Glory War Soul were extremely familiar with Lady Xiwadelin; they had run the Naga Cavern countless times and knew Lady Xiwadelin skills very well.

Lady Xiwadelin is very easy to defeat in the first phase; she's basically a free win.

In the second phase, she has two very powerful skills. One is Mutated Resurrection, in which she will summon a group of Naga Guards. After killing these Naga Guards, Lady Xiwadelin will resurrect them. Moreover, the Naga have a huge increase in combat power and are very difficult to deal with. The way to deal with this is not to kill the Naga Guards immediately, but to have the hunter pull the Naga Guards out of Lady Xiwadelin's casting range.

The second tricky skill is the ability to Mutated Control. Lady Xiwadelin will randomly control one adventurer (usually the closest one), and the controlled person's combat power will increase exponentially, turning them into a team wiper.

The solution is simple: have one team member strip naked, deplete their health and mana, and then get controlled. Once controlled, quickly eliminate that person.

War Soul King speculated that the BOSS's skills wouldn't change much, otherwise High Heaven Pavilion wouldn't have been able to defeat the BOSS so quickly. It's very likely that they were able to defeat it on their first try because they were familiar with the BOSS's skills.

War Soul King: "Everyone knows how to fight this boss, right? Let's try the old tactics first. If it doesn't work, we'll come up with a new tactic. Mages, cast Elemental Resistance Shield on the tank. When the boss unleashes its ultimate attack, remember to activate Frost Guardian Barrier. Hey you, the lowest-level mage, don't conserve your mana. Use up all your mana. In the second phase, you go up and absorb the crowd control effects. Get ready, and we'll activate it!"

With the shields on, the Warrior Charge forward.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Queen): "Oh, so more people are coming to their deaths? Heh, ignorant adventurers, you are always so ignorant and fearless. Well then, let me play with you."

Sure enough, even the lines were almost identical. Upon engaging this Lady Xiwadelin, the War Soul King realized that this BOSS was indeed the same as before. Apart from a significant increase in damage, she was not much different from the Lady Xiwadelin from before.

However, although the power of the skill has been greatly improved, their team size has also increased this time, so the difficulty is actually easier than the previous Dragon Turtle King.

Both skills in the second phase were easily countered, and in less than ten minutes, Lady Xiwadelin's health was depleted.

Lady Xiwadelin (Naga Queen): "My death means nothing. My master will surely destroy you and this wretched world. This world will eventually fall—it's only a matter of time. Azathoth —you have failed me!"

With a scream, Lady Xiwadelin also collapsed.

Looking at the corpse of Lady Xiwadelin on the screen, Xiao Yu felt a slight pang of guilt. Although it wasn't the first time he had seen her killed, this time was different. With the opening of Heroic difficulty, Lady Xiwadelin would actually be killed by the plot.
