Chapter 490 Chapter490-An Extraordinarily Powerful Monster
After escaping the danger, John's first reaction was to look towards the Naga Queen, who had arrived just in time to support them.
He was well aware that without the Naga Queen's intervention, he would have been annihilated by Mystery Vanguard.
"I am deeply grateful for your support, Your Majesty! Without you, I would have been destroyed by that monster!" John immediately expressed his gratitude to the Naga Queen.
The Naga Queen simply nodded in response, her focus still firmly on the task at hand: defeating Mystery Vanguard.
She raised her hands, summoning an even more powerful force of the Sea God.
As the Naga Queen unleashed another Divine Skill, John could feel the water elements in the surrounding sea rapidly converging.
In an instant, these elements coalesced into a massive, shimmering white orb of light.
Without any hesitation, the Naga Queen hurled this orb towards Mystery Vanguard.
The white orb struck Mystery Vanguard, which had no defenses prepared.
The impact was colossal, significantly weakening the Mystery flames that enshrouded Mystery Vanguard, indicating that the creature had taken a substantial hit.
"Everyone, coordinate with my actions! Your abilities are not as strong as you might think, especially in the ocean. Here, your skills may not be as effective," the Naga Queen communicated to the group after successfully weakening Mystery Vanguard.
While she recognized that John and the others were indeed powerful, she believed that their spellcasting abilities might not be fully functional in the oceanic environment.
In her view, Duke Arsena's combat effectiveness as a Paladin was not much different from that of a regular Naga tribe guard in these conditions.
Although the Naga Queen's words seemed somewhat dismissive, no one objected, as her strength was evidently the greatest among them.
Mystery Protector and John began to align their actions with the Naga Queen.
Although Mystery Protector specialized in arcane spells, he was also capable of using some water element spells.
John, blessed with the immense power of the Sea God, could fully utilize the Divine Skills associated with the Sea God's blessing.
Shatras, as the Legend Magus of the Naga tribe, was naturally adept at using water element Divine Skills.
With the arrival of the Queen, she felt an obligation to demonstrate her full strength and capabilities.
As the four casters worked in unison, Mystery Vanguard was relentlessly bombarded by water element spells.
During this assault, John also utilized two oceanic attribute god-tier spell scrolls.
Under this continuous barrage, Mystery Vanguard seemed unable to withstand any longer.
It let out a piercing roar and then dissolved into darkness.
"We should have succeeded, right? It looks like Mystery Vanguard has chosen to retreat! It probably won't dare to appear in the Naga tribe for a while, right?"
Shatras speculated, believing the battle to be over.
However, the expressions on the faces of the others remained grave.
The Naga Queen quickly refuted Shatras's assumption.
"Mystery Vanguard hasn't been eliminated! It hasn't even chosen to flee! It must be hiding somewhere nearby, preparing to strike again and pose a significant threat to us."
No sooner had the Naga Queen spoken than Mystery Vanguard reemerged from the darkness.
This time, its strength appeared even greater than before.
The Mystery flames enveloping Mystery Vanguard shone brighter, and its size had increased several-fold, indicating a substantial augmentation in power.
"Looks like the enemy we face this time is exceptionally powerful! The upcoming battle will surely be challenging, and everyone must be mentally prepared," the Naga Queen stated upon seeing the newly empowered Mystery Vanguard.
She wanted the others to brace themselves for a tougher fight.
John was acutely aware of this reality.
Even in his last encounter with Mystery Vanguard, despite perfect coordination with Duke Arsena, it had taken a significant amount of time to defeat the creature.
Now, the Mystery Vanguard that had appeared in the Naga tribe was extraordinarily powerful.
Even with the aid of three other top-tier warriors, a quick resolution to the battle seemed unlikely.
Regardless, John knew he had to give his all to succeed in this battle.
He turned his gaze towards Duke Arsena.
"Duke, I need your help! I believe that if our plan succeeds, we should be able to quickly eliminate Mystery Vanguard."
Duke Arsena appeared somewhat perplexed upon hearing John's words.
He hadn't been able to offer any assistance in the recent fight.
As a Paladin, he dared not approach the now even more powerful Mystery Vanguard.
And without getting close to the enemy, how could a Paladin be effective?
"How can I assist you now? My strength is not as great as you might think. I'm not a spellcaster and can't coordinate with your magical attacks."
Duke Arsena expressed his doubts, willing to help but feeling incapable of assisting John in any meaningful way.
John's expression was earnest as he addressed the Duke, "Do you remember the tactics we used last time to defeat Mystery Vanguard? We can employ the same strategy again. All I need from you is a powerful force of Holy Light. With the aid of Holy Light, I can safely approach Mystery Vanguard and use my strongest attack spells to quickly eliminate it."
Recalling the previous tactic they had used to defeat Mystery Vanguard in Storm City, Arsena immediately sprang into action upon John's suggestion.
He concentrated all his Holy Light power into his sword and threw it towards John.
As the sword flew over John's head, it radiated an immensely powerful Holy Light, forming a barrier that would protect John from being destroyed by Mystery Vanguard's Mystery power before he could get close enough.
"To the rest of you, provide me with support! You must distract Mystery Vanguard! Only then can I eliminate it swiftly!"
John called out, dashing towards Mystery Vanguard at full speed, while simultaneously instructing the others to assist him.
The Naga Queen and Shatras did not hesitate; they immediately began casting their spells to engage Mystery Vanguard.
Mystery Protector, despite some initial hesitation, ultimately decided to assist John.
Although he had some hostility towards John, the current situation didn't allow for such considerations.
Moreover, failing to aid John at this moment would likely incur the disdain of both Duke Arsena and the Naga Queen.
If they were to ally against him, Mystery Protector would stand little chance.
With the support of the others, John successfully reached Mystery Vanguard's side.
He employed his most proficient spell, [Divine Blade], and simultaneously unleashed [Critical Strike].
The combined use of these skills ensured that John's upcoming attack would be exceptionally effective, maximizing the damage potential of his level and weapon.
Mystery Vanguard had already noticed John's approach, but due to the distraction provided by the others, it couldn't react in time to prevent John's advance.
John was ready to strike with full force, potentially turning the tide of the battle against the formidable Mystery Vanguard.
When John launched his attack, Mystery Vanguard could only rely on its immense inherent strength to withstand it.
However, John's weapon had a significant inhibitory effect on Mystery's powers.
As John's assault continued, the surrounding Mystery energies rapidly diminished, and soon, the people around realized that both Mystery Vanguard and John had disappeared.
Not only were they unable to see Mystery Vanguard and John, but they also couldn't sense the presence of the surrounding Mystery energies.
Just as everyone was puzzled, Queen Naga suddenly turned to look into the distance and said, "We are about to face an even more challenging battle ahead!"
