Chapter 86 Chapter86-The Advanced Adult Butterfly Fae!
The colossal figure emerged, causing Howard and his party to draw sharp breaths.
Unmistakably, a BOSS had made its presence known!
Typically, BOSS wouldn’t reveal themselves this way, preferring to remain in their designated spots.
However, the rapidity with which Howard and his team dispatched the Butterfly Faes had been alarming.
In just half an hour, they’d slain a significant number, aiding both Nick and Mike in leveling up.
This spree had evidently roused the hidden Butterfly Fae BOSS from its lair.
Howard scrutinized the looming silhouette, watching as it gradually flapped its wings, coming into sharper focus.
The Butterfly Fae BOSS bore similarities to its common counterparts, but with distinguishing features.
It flaunted patterns of five different colors on its body and appeared considerably larger.
Moreover, its head was no longer that of a butterfly but instead bore a human visage. The face was strikingly beautiful.
The body, too, showed signs of anthropomorphism.
It possessed a defined bust and shapely hips, with wings delicately enfolding its more intimate areas, shielding them from view.
“A Butterfly Fae in human form!”
“Boss, mark down these coordinates. Once the assessment is over, I’ll have people from home come here. If we can capture a fully evolved Butterfly Fae, it will fetch a hefty price. We can split the profits!”
In an instant, both Nick and Mike voiced their excitement.
Howard’s heart raced with anticipation. When there’s a chance to make a profit, only a fool would decline.
However, the immediate priority is to tackle this Butterfly Fae BOSS. If they don’t bring it down, they all risk meeting their end right here!
Unbeknownst to Howard and his group, a figure watched them intently from not far behind— it was the sole female mentor, the very one who held disdain for Howard: Tana.
Just as Wales had mentioned, Tana initially harbored significant resentment towards Howard.
However, as she witnessed the quartet tackle monster after monster, her perspective regarding Howard began to shift.
She wasn’t naive.
It was clear to her that the ease with which the four confronted numerous monsters was largely attributed to Howard’s leadership, orchestrating the team’s every move in combat.
At this point, even if Howard hadn’t showcased any extraordinary capabilities, Tana would still acknowledge him.
After all, in many respects, commanding prowess can be even rarer than an S-level talent.
Possessing an S-level talent might enhance an individual’s strength, but a leader, a true strategist, can elevate countless average individuals to demonstrate unimaginable power.
It wasn’t until Howard unveiled his SS-level skill that Tana was genuinely taken aback.
Consequently, when the Butterfly Fae BOSS made its appearance, she couldn’t help but be concerned for Howard’s safety.
She even contemplated that if Howard were in danger, she’d intervene immediately, regardless of whether he sought assistance or not.
It’s undeniable that when faced with formidable adversaries, personal prejudices often wane significantly.
Under normal circumstances, Tana, for the sake of her brother, would have continued to detest Howard, perhaps even plotting against him.
However, in the face of a powerful foe and recognizing Howard’s prodigious potential, her immediate instinct became to protect him, ensuring his growth and prosperity.
Unaware of these nuances, Howard and his group quickly formed a battle line, taking a moment to assess the attributes of the Butterfly Fae BOSS.
[Butterfly Fae Chieftain Serena] (BOSS)
[Level: 30]
[Tier: Platinum]
[Description: The leader of the Butterfly Fae clan. Its evolution is noteworthy, possessing human intellect and thought processes. Regrettably, it still falls short compared to an average human.]
[HP: 102500/102500]
[Attack Power: 4175—5233]
[Defense Value: 3200]
[Skills: Hypnotic Pollen, Windstorm Remnant, Wind Blade Dance]
With just three skills and a significant boost in attributes, Howard’s expression became grave.
These stats were approaching those of a level 50 average vampire!
This served as a testament to the importance of tiers.
Perhaps a level 10 Mythical-grade monster could have attributes equivalent to a level 70 ordinary monster, or even surpass those of higher-ranked monsters!
Now was not the time for pondering such details. Howard decisively commanded, “Stick to the old strategy. Even though its attributes have been enhanced, its weaknesses won’t change. After all, it’s still a Butterfly Fae!”
“Focus all attacks on its wings. Once we can sever them, victory will be ours!”
As his words settled, Nick and Mike once again charged towards Butterfly Fae Chieftain Serena.
However, Chieftain·Serena was no ordinary monster.
With a sharp cry, her massive wings flapped, unleashing a sudden gust of wind. In an instant, it transformed into a dozen silvery wind blades, speeding towards Nick and Mike with lightning-fast velocity.
As the wind blades tore through the air, the sound of space being shredded echoed. Howard’s brows furrowed involuntarily. .𝒎
Given its immense attack power, there was a real possibility it might grievously injure Nick and Mike.
At this moment, their team lacked the presence of a priest, meaning recovery from injuries would be a challenging endeavor.
With these thoughts in mind, Howard no longer hesitated to unveil his skill. He stepped forward, invoking the Roar of the Fire God.
Wind fuels fire, and when flames reach a certain intensity, they can even scorch the air. To some extent, Pyro acts as a counter to Anemo.
Why didn’t he use the Icy Touch of Winter Goddess?
That skill demands a specific health threshold to deal a fatal blow!
Using it merely for control or defense would be a waste.
A thunderous roar echoed—
As flames surged skyward, the ethereal visage of the fire god manifested.
The temperature soared, searingly intense, causing the very air to warp and ripple.
In a matter of moments, those razor-sharp wind blades began to dissipate.
The imminent danger to Nick and Mike had been averted!
The very next moment, the phantom of the fire god fixed its gaze upon Butterfly Fae Chieftain·Serena, opening its maw wide and letting out a deafening roar.
Almost instantaneously with the roar, all the flames, as if finding an outlet, surged fiercely towards Serena’s form.
The terrifying spectacle left Nick, Mike, and Abby utterly astounded!
Indeed, in their eyes, all else had vanished, replaced solely by endless flames.
Even Tana, from a distance, couldn’t help but feel her eyelids twitch in surprise, a silent astonishment rising within her: “Another SS-level skill, and of a different elemental type at that. How exactly did this young man achieve this?”
“He surely didn’t awaken an F-level talent; no F-level talent could accomplish this! Or has he inherited some unique legacy?”
“But that doesn’t seem right either. Typically, the MP consumption for deploying an SS-level talent is staggering. Having just awakened in such a short time, how does Howard possess so many attributes? Could it be that he’s already reached LV40, or even surpassed LV50?”
It’s undeniable that mentors, by nature, think more meticulously than students.
Earlier, those students had only marveled at the sheer power of Howard’s skill, completely overlooking this detail.
Of course, Mentor Tana’s insights still paled in comparison to Mentor Daniel’s.
Although Daniel may have conjured up various explanations for Howard, he at least discerned a reason for a lower-level manifestation of an SS-level skill.
Tana, on the other hand, remained perplexed as to why!
Flames engulfed the sky, persisting for nearly five seconds before gradually dissipating. The figure of Butterfly Fae Chieftain·Serena lay heavily on the ground.
Now, Serena was charred all over, her wings appearing as if struck by lightning, motionless.
Her health bar had plummeted by almost half.
Witnessing such a devastating attack, Nick and Mike gasped in astonishment, murmuring to themselves, “My God, Howard, having just awakened, can already inflict tens of thousands of damage on a monster? If he continues to develop at this rate, wouldn’t he be able to instantly defeat bosses of his level?”
“Truly deserving of the elite status in the Daniel family; this strength is genuinely formidable!”
Hearing their comments, a touch of red crept up on Howard’s cheeks as he quickly shouted, “What are you waiting for? Get moving! Don’t let Serena recover!”
At his command, Nick and Mike snapped to attention, swiftly advancing.
Their target remained fixated on Serena’s wings.
Abby, switching her elemental stance, let loose arrows shimmering with a golden radiance, representing the Metal element.
They soared through the air, striking Serena’s wings directly.
Unfortunately, the arrows, no matter how fiercely they attacked, only delivered piercing damage. They could hurt Serena’s wings but couldn’t sever them.
Thankfully, they inflicted enough harm to hinder Serena’s counterattack for a brief moment.
This gave Nick and Mike the window they needed. Reaching Serena’s side, their daggers and sword blades furiously slashed at the base of her wings.
Despite Serena’s massive size, lying on the ground made her vulnerable.
As the blades dug into her flesh, waves of pain surged through her mind like a tidal flood, forcing from her a scream of agony and despair.
Snap!
Under their relentless assault, even a BOSS couldn’t withstand. A crisp sound echoed as its wings shattered.
