Chapter 1557: Chapter 949: The Silent Solar
"Friend, it seems you’re in trouble, I’m Solar, here to help you!"
"Don’t worry, the Sun Warrior is here to lend a hand!"
"Praise the sun! Hahaha!"
Whenever Solar is summoned to assist in battle, he always says such encouraging words, some of which are quite iconic, and the Skyrim Strategy Group has long memorized them by heart.
But this time, there was nothing.
Solar is just fighting.
Luluwo’s gaze follows Solar as he swiftly moves through the lava.
His movements are as skillful as ever, the timing of the shield blocks is incredibly precise, the angle of the straight sword counterattacks is godly, every roll perfectly avoids the sweeping insect legs of the Hundred-legged Demon, and every jump lands at the most suitable point.
Even when he can’t block an attack, his shield remains as stable as a mountain under the storm-like assault.
But, Luluwo feels something is off when she watches all this.
She can’t quite pinpoint it; Solar’s movements are flawless, even more efficient than before. His sword swings haven’t weakened, and the charge time of the Thunder Spear is exactly the same as before, yet Luluwo just feels there’s something missing from each of his actions.
What could it be?
Seems like... it’s missing Solar’s usual laughter and battle cries during fights?
This Sun Warrior always manages to laugh aloud even in perilous battles, a sight that inspires many, but now his silent combat feels somewhat unfamiliar.
Instead, it reminds her of the Ash and Undead Man from the images, fighting efficiently in silence.
Luluwo couldn’t think further, as the Hundred-legged Demon let out an angry screech under Solar’s attack, its twisted flesh body starting to swell segment by segment.
It finally realized that this newly appeared Golden Spirit Body is not like those previously skilled at hiding adventurers, this person is not afraid of lava or its attacks, even daring to charge directly into its attack range.
"Everyone, coordinate with Solar!"
While speaking, Luluwo immediately threw out chains; the tough enchanted chains wrapped around a leg of the Hundred-legged Demon attempting to swipe at Solar’s flank. She pulled hard, trying to alter the swing direction of that leg by a few inches, allowing Solar not to worry about blocking, and with this opportunity, he swung his sword at the Hundred-legged Demon, cutting off several insect legs from their roots with the lightning-wrapped blade!
"Understood!"
Tami was the first to respond. Seeing that part of the Hundred-legged Demon’s body was not soaked in lava, he charged out from Solar’s rear flank, with a longsword already coated in magic oil, a consumable specifically prepared by the Skyrim Strategy Group before departure, with all sorts of attribute oils prepared.
Berto followed closely behind, replacing with a new brass shield, as the previous shield had warped under repeated attacks from the Hundred-legged Demon.
But the brass shield is not a concern if damaged, just chatting with Greg’s soldier brothers at the checkpoint front will suffice.
With Solar attracting the Hundred-legged Demon’s attention, the magicians were able to catch their breath, healing those who needed it, and buffing those required, each then choosing the most suitable magic to support the warriors.
Logically, magicians should be the main force in this battle, but Solar’s appearance instantly made him the MVP, the power of each Thunder Spear shot equal to five Luminous Stone Magic Gravel.
If Solar is so strong, then won’t adventurers win just by summoning him before battling the Boss Monster?
You can’t say that, because Sain Dungeon consciously prevents Solar from overshadowing the adventurers too much; his role in battle mostly demonstrates how to resist certain Monster attacks or relieve current crises, diverting attention from Monsters, and his attack power is limited. The real fight still belongs to the adventurers.
However, the Solar appearing in the Demon Relics this time seems not to be restricted in attack.
Thus, in just a few minutes of his appearance, he has become the strongest combat power present.
"How is Solar unaffected by the lava?"
Mila wondered aloud; she didn’t rush up but stood at the lava’s edge holding a big hammer, her gaze sweeping back and forth over the Hundred-legged Demon’s continually wriggling body, searching for a truly worthy target to smash, aiming for a spot that would genuinely cause the Hundred-legged Demon pain.
The Hundred-legged Demon’s body structure looks like the flesh is quite tender, if they can perform a part destruction, the combat feel would surely be more satisfying.
Eventually, Mila’s gaze locked onto the base of the Hundred-legged Demon’s tail.
There was a circle of flesh noticeably darker in color than other parts, showing signs of shrinkage, surrounded by dark red, yet this circle appeared almost charred black, resembling over-smoked bacon.
The experienced Canglan Star could tell at a glance that it’s a spot ripe for a satisfying tail severing.
Is there something at the base of the tail?
After all, that abnormal flesh doesn’t seem naturally formed.
"Captain, there’s something over there!" Mila shouted loudly to Luluwo while raising her hand to point at the tail base.
"Ais, Em, still got enough magic power?" Luluwo also saw the abnormal tail base.
"No problem," Ais answered briefly.
