Chapter 520 - Quad Elemental Spirit King (6)

Smite's spell hit the boss hard and stopped the boss from charging forward. The [Quad Elemental Spirit King] turned his head to look for Smite. However, what greeted him were two other spells.

One of the spells was from Auron, and the other one was from Julia. However, the boss seemed to know how powerful these two spells were. Still looking at Smite, the boss used his wind leg and nullified Julia's magic. Then, for Auron's spell, the boss didn't do anything to it and just let it hit his earth left.

Auron was using his fire spell and aimed towards the earth leg of the boss. Fire element would deal double damage to the earth element. However, the boss didn't bother to dodge or block Auron's spell even though it would deal him double damage.

Smite didn't want to participate in the staring contest with the boss. He ignored the boss's stare and chanted another spell.

When Smite was starting to chant a new spell, the boss immediately moved. However, he didn't move to the cleric. Instead, he changed his target to Smite.

Even though Smite was busy chanting the spell, he still observed the boss's movements. So, when he knew that the boss was coming for him, Smite canceled his chanting and created an [Earth Wall].

The [Earth Wall] blocked Smite from the boss' view. However, the boss didn't care about it and kept on charging towards Smite.

The boss's charging speed was fast. Before he transforms, his speed already above average. Right now, his speed was faster compared to before.

When the [Earth Wall] was just third-fourth erected from the ground, the boss arrived at the [Earth Wall] and destroyed it. However, to his surprise, he could not find Smite behind the [Earth Wall].

When the boss was about to move, he raised his right hand and grabbed two [Ice Arrow]. The fire hand immediately melted the arrow.

The boss didn't look in the arrow's direction. Instead, he looked in the opposite direction and found Smite. He immediately charged towards Smite. However, before he reached Smite from his left side, Gavin and Dayton arrived at the boss.

Both Gavin and Dayton did a body charge towards the boss. The boss turned towards the two newcomers and waved both of his hands upwards. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, two spikes appeared from the ground. However, those were not [Earth Spike]. Instead, it was a spike made of fire and ice.

Smite opened his eyes wide as well as with Auron and Julia. They were surprised by what they saw.

Usually, a monster who could use a spell like [Goblin Mage] or a similar monster would use magic that had already been known by the human. Although the name of the spell was sometimes different, the form of the spell used was the same. 

For example, a [Golem Mage] had a spell named [Spiky Thorns]. Although the name was different, that spell had the same effect and form [Earth Spike].

Meanwhile, in front of them right now, the [Quad Elemental Spirit King] already used two spells that didn't have any relation to any spells they knew. The form was a little bit similar to [Earth Spike]; however, it was made of fire and ice instead of earth.

Deep inside, Auron immediately thought of something, "Is it a combination of spell? Or is it a new entirely different spell?"

On the other hand, Smite had a different thought from Auron, "Ancient spell?"

The two pillars fire and ice sprung and hit Gavin and Dayton. Not only it halted them from coming towards the boss, but it also pushed them several steps back.

Cedric and Ainsley appeared from the boss' side and used their [Killing Stab]. But, before their dagger could reach the boss. A wall of earth and wall of wind appeared from the ground right at their dagger.

Both Cedric and Ainsley's dagger met with the obstacle and was reflected back. When the boss turned back his target to Smite, he could not see Smite at his previous location.

Smite had already moved away from the crowded battle to somewhere safe. Seeing the battle's progress, everyone frowned. The boss was too difficult.

Throughout this time, only one Smite attack and Auron's attack connected with the boss from numerous attacks.

"Would the boss' transformation increase the difficulty this much?" This was what inside Auron's mind. 

Everyone already felt hopeless especially, the four melee members. These four people had tried their best to approach the boss only to find themselves being blown away by the boss. 

Twenty minutes passed by since the start of the battle. The battle's situation was not that good for Auron's group. For the past twenty minutes, only that Smite first attack and several Auron's attacks could connect with the boss.

Even though there was no casualty and the situation more or less was still under control, but if this situation continued, it would be only a matter of time before everyone became more dispirited and wiped out. 

Auron also frowned when seeing that his attack was blocked by the boss. The boss used several spells that were new to him and the others. Moreover, the boss could cast two spells at the same time.

Of course, Auron didn't know whether it was the boss' limitation to only cast two spells or the boss just didn't want to show off.

When everyone seemed down, Auron looked at the boss' health. Then, he realized something strange. The boss' health had gone down to 8%. 

At the start of the battle with the transformed boss, the boss' health was at 10%. Then, throughout the brutal fight, only Smite's first attack and several Auron's attacks could connect with the boss.

Auron knew these attacks would not be enough to reduce 2% of the boss' health. However, the truth showed before them, the boss had 2% lesser health. 

"Is it some kind of bug?" Auron thought.

However, Auron didn't want to conclude it yet. He decided to observe the boss closer.
