Molak Balak
The two-headed ogre's heads were played by two different players, so they spoke separately. Xiao Yu was curious about how the two players controlled one body. There were so many monster templates in the Sky World, and it seemed that each one had a completely different way of playing. If he had time, he would like to discuss the feeling of two people being one with these two, but now was obviously not the right time.
Esmehalda (Dalaran Mystic): "Enough nonsense, Molak Balak! You have committed countless atrocities, murdering countless innocent people. Today, by the authority granted to me by the Alliance, I hereby declare you arrested! You now have only two choices: surrender—or die!"
Molak: "Damn, is this girl out of her mind?"
Balak: "Hey bro, I think this girl is most likely an NPC, or maybe a role-playing player with severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."
Molak: "Looks like it's almost certain he'll escape, but it's okay, there are more of us than him, he's just a low-level hero, what's there to be afraid of!"
Just like bosses are divided into levels, heroes are also divided into levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and starred.
The Esmehalda in front of him was only a novice hero, but this dungeon was only a five-player dungeon, and the two of them were only novice bosses, so he sounded a little unsure of himself.
"Hmph, killing you all will make me a mid-level hero." Because he was close by, Xiao Yu vaguely heard Esmehalda mutter.
"He really is a player," Xiao Yu thought to himself, "But he's acting quite convincingly."
Molak: "Men, charge!" With a wave of his hand, the ogre Warrior around him immediately swarmed forward. Throwing cannon fodder into the fight is a privilege of the BOSS, and Molak clearly understands this well. Seeing several burly ogre Warrior charging towards her, Esmehalda remained calm, which showed that she must be a veteran player, otherwise she wouldn't be able to run the dungeon alone.
"Watch out, freeze them!" Esmehalda mentally gave Xiao Yu the command.
Xiao Yu naturally understood that Esmehalda was a pure ice mage, whose Super Frost Nova combined with Frost Detonation had an explosive instant-kill effect. Since he could kill adventurers instantly, killing these low-level monsters would be no problem for him.
Just as the ogre Warrior charged forward, Xiao Yu suddenly raised his hand—
Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Witness the Power of Pure Water!"
The power of ice erupted in all directions, and in an instant, the four ogre Warrior around them were frozen into ice sculptures.
At the same time, the female mage prepared her spells.
Esmehalda: "Power of Ice—obey my will!"
Frost Detonation!
Bang bang bang! The icy power within the frozen ogre Warrior instantly exploded, blasting them into a pile of flesh and blood covered in ice shards.
Balak: "Damn, this chick looks fierce! What do we do, bro?!"
Molak: "Hmph, don't be afraid, this girl is an ice mage, use Frost Protection Barrier!"
Balak: "Yes, yes, I've learned this spell. Ice and snow spirits, heed my command, gather around me, and protect me from the cold!"
Blue light gradually condensed on the two-headed ogre guard, transforming into a huge, crystal-clear blue dome. Just as the dome took shape, Esmehalda's Frostbolt struck him.
With a snap, the Frostbolt only dealt a dozen or so points of damage. An incredulous look appeared on Esmehalda's face as she unleashed a barrage of spells.
Frostbolt!
Ice Lance!
Frozen Orb!
-13, -7, -25.
The three red numbers seemed to be Taunt her; the combined damage was less than 50, not even enough to take away a sliver of the BOSS's health before it quickly recovered.
Esmehalda panicked. She was a pure ice mage, and in the past, she was almost invincible thanks to her extremely high ice damage. But this time, she had met her match. She was a pure ice mage! How was she supposed to fight this?
Molak: "Hahaha, now you know how powerful we are, right? My brother and I have twice as many skills as a regular boss, specifically designed to deal with one-trick ponies like you. Now, let me show you the power of my magic."
As he spoke, the two-headed Ogre Mage's hands simultaneously glowed with the power of ice and fire, respectively.
Molak: "Fireball!"
Balak: "Frostbolt!"
Two spells flew towards Esmehalda simultaneously. Damn it, she had forgotten to cast a protective spell on herself. Esmehalda was secretly annoyed at her own lapse in concentration. This was a basic mistake that should not have happened. She thought to herself that there was no other way but to take the hit.
At that moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and with two sharp cracks, both spells were blocked simultaneously.
The red Water Elemental looked down at her, and for some reason, she felt a sense of being stared at when she faced that faceless face.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Foolish human, now is not the time to stand around in a daze. Let me teach you what true magic is!"
The deep, resonant voice unique to elemental beings sent a shiver down Esmehalda's spine.
As Xiao Yu spoke, he immediately fired Frostfire Bolt at the Ogre Mage.
Snap! -278!
A huge red number instantly reduced the health of the Ogre Mage by one-twentieth.
Balak: "What?! What's with this Water Elemental?! Such high damage!"
Molak: "Never mind that, take down the female mage first—watch my Pyroblast!" A fireball the size of a washbasin condensed in his hand, its power clearly evident.
Counterspell!
The fireball exploded in her hand before she could even throw it, thanks to Esmehalda's quick reflexes. She had been somewhat desperate, but the fact that she had been scorned by her own summoned creature reignited her competitive spirit. Seeing that her opponent was about to unleash a Counterspell, which was then broken.
Although Molak's Pyroblast is an upgraded BOSS skill and should theoretically be uninterruptible, that only applies to adventurers. Against equally upgraded hero skills, it can still be countered.
Boom! The explosion instantly wiped out over 200 of Molak's health. And this was only in the incomplete state of the spell; one can only imagine how devastating it would be if he actually unleashed it.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Prince): "Well done, humans. Now, let's finish them off!"
Frostfire Bolt!
Several Frostfire Bolt were fired, and the two-headed Ogre Mage's health plummeted.
Balak: "See? I told you that female mage was not to be trifled with."
Molak: "Shut up." He continued to hurl fireballs at Xiao Yu, but he was clearly outmatched. Although Xiao Yu was just an otherworldly projection with only a little over two thousand health points, the problem was that there was a mage behind him.
A Mana Shield! A protective barrier descended upon Xiao Yu.
Mana Shield: Grants a target a Magic Shield that absorbs 200 spell damage for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
The fireball struck him, but was immediately absorbed by the shield.
Esmehalda had now become a full-fledged healer, constantly casting shields on Xiao Yu. Although it wasn't actual healing, the effect was almost the same. She was somewhat relieved that, in addition to ice magic, she had learned a few protective spells for safety, and now they came in handy. With Esmehalda's assistance, Xiao Yu began exchanging fire with the two-headed Ogre Mage on the other side.
After several rounds, the two-headed Ogre Mage panicked; it was clear he was outmatched.
