MMORPG: The Elementalist

Ten minutes had just passed. The Deity’s Realm had disappeared, and this was the time when the Grand Reaper once again showed up in front of everyone.

He was stuck behind Judge all the time and looked appalled. It was not a surprise as he had actually let a Tier 5 Steel Berserker escape from his grasp for not less than a hundred times, which was so humiliating Divine Specter!

The Grand Reaper looked perturbed.

The Deity’s Realm had disappeared.

Right after the Deity’s Realm disappeared, Judge once again spread his Angelic Wings and

This time…

Without waiting for Qin Ruo’s order, Violet Orchid and Devilite had already flown through the crowd to escort and protect Judge from the threat of the Grand Reaper, as they felt it was safer in this way.

As the two Radiant Priestesses approached the battlefield, Qin Ruo immediately sent a signal to give the green light to the people around him who were eager to join the fight since the beginning, including Dinosaurcerer, Remorseless Warrior, and the others.

“Primary and secondary combat team, launch a sneak attack… be mindful of keeping a distance!”

The group of people including Dinosaurcerer looked excited as they were finally given a chance to show off.

They replied loudly, “Roger!” Dozens of silhouettes with the outstretched Angelic Wings flew past behind Qin Ruo impatiently…

Splitting into two and keeping a distance between the two teams, they charged from both sides toward the combat field where the second round of fierce engagement was taking place.

After losing the Death Barrier and the Deity’s Realm, all the things that the Grand Reaper could do at the moment was to take the damage with their own HP. The real battle had just started.

But for all the members of Fallen Angels…

They were close to victory!

***

The Grand Reaper was invulnerable to the damage done by Netherclaw, Scarlet Bauhinia, and Black God, as three of them were Shadowmancers. Despite their eagerness to join the battle, they were still guarding different areas of the battlefield as backups for their team. After they had witnessed their first team charge toward the Grand Reaper from almost every angle within its attack range, and all the Summoners from different jobs started to cast their own unique spells, all the three Shadowmancers curiously and subconsciously stared at Qin Ruo simultaneously, “This fella, what is his plan again this time?”

From the moment when the Death Barrier was broken…

To the moment when the Deity’s Realm ran out of time, they did not dare to underestimate and ignore every single unusual movement made by Qin Ruo.

As it was always these ridiculous movements which most of the time shocked them and at the same time surprised them…

It went the same way this time and it looked irrational…

The Summoners definitely stood no chance against the Elementalists when it came to comparing between the cast time of their magic spells as well as their attack damage. It was even a problem for them to break through the Grand Reaper’s defense, not to mention dealing any damage to it. Not only that, there was no Defensive Barrier for them, it was totally suicidal.

But when the three of them observed quietly, they held their breath at the same time…

The group of Summoners was making some unusual movements as expected!

***

After the group of Summoners including Dinasaurcerer approached the battlefield, they stopped right at the edge of the Grand Reaper’s attack range one after another. All of them gathered outside the battlefield.

“It’s time to attack, everyone be mindful of your roles!” Among these people, the Dinasaurcerer acted as their commander. He raised the red glowing Mana Core in his hand and solemnly instructed his comrades, “Also, remember to always keep a distance! Don’t summon too many at once and try not to lure the Boss to your side!”

“Roger that!”

At the moment when the Summoners cheered, Judge had already contested the Grand Reaper for a few rounds in the battlefield.

Although the Lich was the Specter Boss, Judge was a Tier 6 Champion after all. With its extremely high magic damage, it had no problem dealing damage to the Divine Specter (the Grand Reaper had turned the Deathfiend Spider into a pool of blackwater earlier on with Deity’s Realm).

Meanwhile, Majestic Hero and Homme Fatale took turns to attack the Grand Reaper. They escaped immediately after dealing the damage of up to a few thousand every single time they entered the battlefield…

This time when Majestic Hero once again escaped from the battlefield, Qin Ruo gave an order, “Hero, use Black Hole.”

“Huh?”

Majestic Hero was stunned and responded immediately, “Is it suitable to cast this spell?”

He understood very well the pros and cons of the spell which he had invented himself.

Basically this magic spell was considered as weak…

It limited one’s attack damage to deal damage to the opponent.

Usually, it might be very effective in competing with an Elementalist of the same tier, but it was inadequate against a Megaboss.

Although the Grand Reaper was also a magical Divine Specter and he would be taking a lot of damage when attacked by the Black Hole, the Elemental Attack of the caster’s side was restricted!

There was no necessity to do so in the current situation.

If Qin Ruo was planning to make use of the few warriors outside the battlefield to increase the damage output to the Grand Reaper, it could be done indeed, but the impact duration would not be long and the damage dealt in total would be roughly the same as the current situation. But it was possible to attract the Grand Reaper’s attention from the Judge to himself.

Such an intelligent Divine Specter would never allow a threatening enemy to stay near him.

Speaking of which…

In a low voice, Qin Ruo told Majestic Hero something shocking, “To be frank…I don’t see that we would be able to take down the Grand Reaper by tomorrow if we keep attacking with the current damage output.”

“Why?” Majestic Hero blurted out his doubt in a disbelieving tone.

If it were not Qin Ruo who had said this, that they would not be able to kill the Grand Reaper with the damage output of more than two thousand in every five to six seconds, he would have punched that person.

But it was Qin Ruo.

Majestic Hero stopped his attack and waited for Qin Ruo’s answer patiently.

…

“This is the information that Edgar provided me via Yaeger…”

Qin Ruo continued, “Edgar has the ability to analyze any divine creature thoroughly from every single aspect, including defense ability, attack ability, changes in HP, and so on.”

“…”

Majestic Hero nodded.

Since it was from Edgar, it must be true then, but what did it mean?

Qin Ruo continued to explain to clear his doubts, “They did engage the Divine creature several times before this and he actually realized the secret regarding the healing ability of the Divine Specter from his observation on the Grand Reaper.”

“The secret of the healing ability?”

Majestic Hero tensed up.

“Yes,” Qin Ruo replied.

“It doesn’t matter whether it is a human or a beast, or other kinds of creatures, as long as it reaches Tier 7, the attributes in every aspect would be upgraded to a great extent, including the incredible healing ability.”

“The HP of the Grand Reaper is up to three million and its HP recovery rate during combat is up to a thousand per second…”

“Are you serious?!”

Majestic Hero lost his cool once again.

“This is still a small matter, according to Edgar, during a combat, if the Grand Reaper takes the damage up to a certain point, it has the ability to absorb the death aura from the Underworld to recover its lost HP, and it is up to twenty thousand points of HP per minute!”

After listening to this, Majestic Hero was totally speechless. He knew that it would be very tough to defeat a Divine Specter…but! It was way too much! Majestic Hero inhaled sharply and commented, “Which means that… we have not dealt any damage to the Grand Reaper since the beginning?”

“I am not sure about this… but if what Edgar told us is true, perhaps it is.” Qin Ruo nodded with a bit of disappointment.

“In this case…” Majestic Hero smiled reluctantly. “We must deal at least eighty thousand damage to the Grand Reaper per minute to actually make an impact on his HP?”

“…”

Qin Ruo tacitly agreed to Majestic Hero’s calculation.

At that very moment, Majestic Hero seemed to be stressed and frustrated…

Within a minute, even if the Grand Reaper did not fight back and let him launch attacks nonstop, the maximum damage that he could do was only up to sixteen thousand. Plus the damage done by the Homme Fatale was not even half of the adequate damage.

No wonder Qin Ruo had asked him to stop attacking.

“But…”

Majestic Hero said grimly, ” Even though I have cast the Black Hole and taken the attribute booster to recover my magic power, it can only hold for thirty seconds at maximum, but its cooldown duration is two hours!”

“What if you used the Nightstar Potion that I gave you before this?”

“Fifty seconds, it can be extended to approximately fifty seconds!” Majestic Hero was excited in an instant, as the effect of the Nightstar Potion impressed him during his fight with the three Liches at the Buried City.

If the stunned Grand Reaper was abused by a group of warriors, an incredible amount of damage could also be done even though it was just fifty seconds.

“… It should be enough.”

After Qin Ruo passed the MP potion to his comrade to be delivered to Majestic Hero, he stretched his wings and flew toward the Grand Reaper in the opposite direction of Majestic Hero.

…

“The Boss has finally started to attack!”

“Ha!”

“This is getting interesting!” A lot of members from Fallen Angels were hyped with excitement as they noticed that the League Master had finally started to launch an attack.

…

Seeing that Qin Ruo was approaching him from far away, Majestic Hero quickly stood by at the edge of the Grand Reaper’s attack range and the Dinasaurcerer acted as if he had received some order, as he quickly moved toward the Summoners who surrounded the Grand Reaper while nodding and commanded, “Attack!”

…

Few dozen Summoners fused with their Tier 6 flying beasts at once and started to throw the Sealed Mana Cores at high-speed after the Dinasaurcerer gave the order. The Sealed Mana Cores eventually absorbed a lot of pure Elemental Magic and started to summon the sealed beasts inside the Mana Cores one after another.

Boom!

A huge beast covered in burning flame suddenly appeared beside the Dinasaurcerer. Its sharp mouth and appearance were similar to a Pterosaur—blazing. Its burning flames kept on expanding every time it flapped its wings!

One after another…

Similar Phoenixes started to appear everywhere surrounding the battlefield after being summoned by the Summoners.

But the Summoners were not slowing down…

One after another, the Sealed Mana Cores were used to summon more and more of the giant birds in blazes from the Mana Cores.

As more and more of the Phoenixes appeared around the Grand Reaper, few of the League Masters who witnessed the battle were all stunned—a Tier 6 Phoenix—a completed Mana Core cost at least fifteen thousand gold in the market…

What was Qin Ruo…

Trying to do?!
