Chapter 1647 Chapter 1465: Similar Monsters

In a different location, Scarlet's team engaged in a fierce battle against a formidable Chaos Lord.

"Roar———!"

The fire serpent charged towards the enigmatic Chaos Lord, who retaliated with a powerful attack of its own. It extended its arms, causing black and white flames to erupt from the ground, forming a solid barrier to counter the fire serpent. Scarlet watched in awe as her creation collided with the perplexing wall of fire. To her surprise, the fire serpent was not merely repelled, but instead, it was absorbed into the barrier and vanished into thin air.

"What is happening? Could this boss possess immunity against magical assaults? If that's the case, this battle will be nearly impossible! Not only does this Chaos Lord possess exceptional skills against close-combat classes, but it also seems impervious to long-range magical spells. This is truly terrifying," Scarlet pondered.

However, there was more astonishment in store for her.

As the fire serpent disappeared, the barrier expanded in size, and a black and white fire serpent emerged from it, lunging at Scarlet's team with its claws. Scarlet's eyes widened in disbelief. It was undeniably the same fire serpent she had released earlier!

"Retreat!"

Scarlet's heart raced as she hastily raised her right hand and swiftly traced an intricate and peculiar pattern in the air. A crimson magical aura materialized on the ground, enveloping the fire serpent. The creature struggled in midair for a brief moment before dissipating into thin air.

"Phew..."

Only then did Scarlet feel a sense of relief. Although the fire serpent had transformed, it remained a creature of fire. Luckily, as an elemental mage, Scarlet possessed knowledge of the "Elemental Return" spell, a technique commonly learned by mages of her specialization. This spell allowed them to recall summoned elemental creatures by manipulating the elements to create simulated counterparts. Such simulated creatures were not mere magical spells but possessed a certain degree of autonomous intelligence. This made them a formidable force, comparable to half an army. To counter this strategy, most elemental mages also mastered the "Elemental Return" spell. It allowed them to compel all elemental creatures within a specific range to revert to their original state, preventing enemy manipulation. In this situation, Scarlet found the "Elemental Return" spell incredibly convenient.

Something was amiss. The Chaos Lord's peculiar behavior and the unexpected nature of the attacks raised concerns in Scarlet's mind.

"Never stop the assault!"

Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

Just like before, the Divine Judgments disappeared and reappeared, striking the holy knights relentlessly. However, this time Scarlet's fire serpent broke through and sank its fangs into the Chaos Lord. Explosions echoed through the hall as scarlet flames and scorching heat engulfed everything. The Chaos Lord found itself in a precarious position, smoke rising from its robes.

"I've got it!"

At that moment, a spark of realization gleamed in Scarlet's eyes. She finally understood the exact weakness of the Chaos Lord. Despite its ability to reflect spells and its immunity to physical and magical attacks, it could only handle two at a time and couldn't defend against all three simultaneously!

That's its Achilles' heel!

"Healers, maintain the defensive barrier. Everyone else, unleash your basic attacks!"

Without hesitation, Scarlet issued her command. But this time, instead of launching their most powerful attacks, she instructed her party to use their basic attacks. This way, they could minimize the impact of the reflected attacks. There were no rules governing the three types of reflections. Scarlet had no choice but to brace herself and keep attacking!

Following her command, the group unleashed their attacks. However, these strikes seemed lackluster compared to their previous extravagant assaults. The archers let go of their most impressive abilities and simply fired regular arrows. The holy knights abandoned their powerful skills and attacked with their holy light. The mages released small fireballs under Scarlet's guidance, while the healers maintained the defensive barrier to resist the reflected attacks.

Scarlet's strategy had an immediate effect. Though some attacks were occasionally reflected, they were weak and easily stopped. Meanwhile, the attacks that the Chaos Lord couldn't defend against struck with full force. While these attacks weren't particularly strong, Scarlet's goal wasn't to defeat the Chaos Lord but to keep it contained in this place. From her earlier observations, Scarlet deduced that the Chaos Lord had no offensive abilities other than reflecting attacks. In this scenario, Scarlet still had a chance to keep it under control!

One couldn't deny that Scarlet's strategy proved to be a major annoyance for the Chaos Lord. It seemed to possess no proactive offensive skills. Faced with weak magical and spiritual spells, arrows, and daggers thrown by the thieves, the Chaos Lord found itself in a dire predicament. This further confirmed Scarlet's belief that it couldn't defend against all attacks simultaneously!
