Chapter 301: Chapter 190: Battle of Giants, A Legend Falls_1
[’Combat Angel - Valkyrie’ receives your command and her wings return her to your side.]
[The longbow in her hand suddenly disappears, replaced by a blood lamp that emits a warm light.]
[’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ turns around abruptly, its crimson eyes fixated on the dim warm light.]
[It roars and charges towards the Valkyrie!]
[Valkyrie nods at you, raises up into the air with her lamp, and circles around the hall away from the beast at an incredibly fast speed.]
[You take possession of the ’Polymath president of Direct View Association’s shell!]
[You raise your magic wand, murmuring the spell...]
[...]
[Dazzling starlight blooms again!]
[You feel extremely exhausted!]
Lin Chen corners of his mouth twitched.
This was his fourth release of the ’Falling Star’s Gleam’, not counting the times when he had interrupted the spell.
"I didn’t even successfully release the spell, why would it consume so much mana?"
[’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ is struck by the starlight, halting its charge. It sharply turns back to look at you, its fiery red gaze nearly making you forget to continue casting the spell.]
[Just as you start to worry that the beast will charge at you again, its attention is quickly drawn back to the warm light and it resumes its charge at the Valkyrie.]
"Thank goodness the Abyss lantern has sufficient power and not causing any aggro management issues."
Lin Xun stops casting ’Falling Star’s Gleam’ and instead uses the much weaker ’Knowledge Spears’ to conserve his mental power.
[You lift your hand and the ’Spell-Storing Ring’ lights up.]
[Countless white characters form into two giant spears, piercing into the ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ with unparalleled force.]
Even using the most powerful ’Falling Star’s Gleam’ doesn’t cause aggro management issues, not to mention ’Knowledge Spear’, which has far less power.
[’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ lets out a painful howl, increasing its speed and making its shell even stronger.]
[The Valkyrie has to put all her energy into flying just to not get caught by the beast behind her.]
"I can’t save mana anymore, if I keep saving, when the ’weakened’ effect is completely gone, Valkyrie will be caught up by the boss..."
Without the Valkyrie to lead the charge, Lin Xun would lose his last chance to take down the boss.
He took a deep breath and again cast ’Falling Star’s Gleam’.
[In the bloom of starlight, ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ suffers serious injuries!]
"The boss’s health bar is absurdly long!"
According to the game mechanics, after ’minor injuries’, it’s ’serious injuries’, then ’near fatal injuries’, and finally death.
In other words, after all this effort, he has only taken just over half of the boss’s health...
At this point, he only had one more chance to cast the ’Falling Star’s Gleam’.
There’s still a significant amount of damage needed to defeat the boss.
After he casts his last skill, he can only charge forward with the shell of the Earth Giant.
"If only the Valkyrie still had a bunch of strong arrows, if only I had some potion items to restore mental strength..."
[You lift your magic wand...]
[...]
[Starlight blooms...]
[Frequent use of skills has left you extremely exhausted, even the smallest movement feels like a luxury.]
[You take possession of the ’Fallen Earth Giant’s shell!]
Even though Lin Xun still had the shell of a scholar, using the shell of a scholar for output would not be enough to take down the boss before the ’weakened’ effect ends.
[Your shape suddenly soars, transforming from a tiny person into a giant thirty meters tall.]
[But compared to ’Legendary Star Spirit - Thunder Beast Mammoth Lonca’, you can only be considered a young child!]
Lin Xun clicks the skill button, unleashing his full firepower.
[Your pale eye opens...]
[Special skill ’Insight into Weakness’ activates!]
[Your knowledge does not match that of your enemy, judgment in progress...]
[Judgment failed, you cannot discern the enemy’s weakness.]
As a legendary creature that existed in the God War era, ’Thunder Beast Mammoth Lonca’ has fought countless wars and probably slaughtered many scholars - its accumulation of knowledge might have reached a horrifying number.
It was only reasonable Lin Xun’s knowledge was inferior to that of the boss beast.
[Your crimson eye opens...]
[Special skill ’Flowing Fire Burning Eye’ activates!]
[Your attacks and skills will now inflict ’Indestructible Flames’ burning effect.]
[Your ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ in your hand instantly ignites flames that can burn everything, the roaring flame fills the entire ’Star Spirit Hall.]
[’Combat Angel - Valkyrie’ flaps her wings, alters her flight path, and flies straight towards you.]
[Looking at the beast that is charging recklessly towards you, you let out a thunderous roar!]
[You take steps forward, charging at the ’Thunder Beast Mammoth’ with your colossal feet!]
[Every time you step on the ground, immense power is transferred from the ground to your giant body, the ’Blessing of Mother Earth’ is now fully activated!]
[The flying Valkyrie has already passed you, and before you is the mammoth beast within arm’s reach.]
[With the momentum of its charge, it lowers its head, aiming its sharp jaw at you!]
[Facing the strong wind, you show no fear as rage fills your crimson eyes!]
[You boldly lift the heavy weapon wrapped in ’Indestructible Flames’, using all your strength to smash it down on the beast...]
[The ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ creates a terrifying gust, forming a fire hurricane that burns all who dare to anger the ’Ancient Red Dragon King’ into mere ants!]
