Chapter 623: Chapter 623: The Wrath of the Earth
The first strike activated the passive skill “Holy Sword”, which took Song Jian by surprise.
The defense of the Earth Element Lord was several steps above the lesser earth element beasts he had faced before; its whole body was as tough as iron-like rock. The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword struck against it, sparks flying, leaving only a faint mark.
The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, having fused with two set swords, could deal damage comparable to an epic weapon. But Song Jian’s ordinary strikes could only cause two-digit damage to the Earth Element Lord. His ordinary sword skills could only cause less than two hundred points of damage. For the Earth Element Lord who had more than seven thousand vitality points, killing it with that amount of damage would be a formidable challenge.
“I wonder how an ordinary player would feel when facing the Earth Element Lord BOSS!” Song Jian couldn’t help but think.
With such terrifying defense, most people wouldn’t even break through its defense. It would either display a series of “dodges” and “resists”, or forcibly deduct a vitality point;
After one of its legs was severed, the Earth Element Boss toppled over with a thud, like a giant collapsing.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed, and the entire swamp slightly trembled, mud splashing around. The black dragon pet seized the opportunity to breathe several Dragon Breaths at the Earth Element Lord.
The black dragon’s fangs and claws inflicted minimal damage on the Earth Element Lord, and Dragon Language Magic, was beyond the comprehension of the current black dragon. Therefore, it could only use its innate Dragon Breath to attack the Earth Element Lord.
Splash!
The fallen Earth Element Lord suddenly disintegrated, transforming into stone spheres about a meter in diameter, which began to roll on the ground;
Even the severed rock leg broke down into several smaller stone spheres rolling towards the body of the Earth Element Lord;
“Damn, it’s healing itself …” Song Jian’s face darkened as he swung his sword at the nearest stone sphere;
The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword slashed fiercely on the stone sphere, “Bang!” still, the stone sphere shattered into several pieces. Over three hundred points of damage floated from the shattered stone, which then quickly broke down into even smaller stone spheres.
“Wow, the defense of the BOSS drops markedly after it decomposes!” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, his expression joyful.
He was originally prepared for a protracted battle, intending to wear down this BOSS with its astonishing defense, but unexpectedly, the opponent would automatically decompose after the body was mutilated, and then recombine;
After decomposing, its defense significantly dropped, to the point where even ordinary players could easily shatter it;
Song Jian laughed out loud, as long as they found the weakness, no BOSS could not be killed by the players;
Sword Silk!
Rapid Sword!
Flash Thunder Strike!
…
Song Jian moved like a whirlwind, slashing at the giant stone spheres around him. Sword Qi raced through the air, and wherever Song Jian passed, a series of “crackling” explosion sounds followed. One by one, the meter-wide stone spheres exploded into heaps of rubble, and then re-condensed into smaller stone spheres;
The smaller the stone sphere, the lower the defense, and in the end, even a casual squeeze could turn it into mud;
However, there were too many stone spheres around, and even if Song Jian was fast, he couldn’t stop these stones from reassembling;
“Human, you’ve angered me!” The reassembled Earth Element Lord let out an angry roar. Its two fists clenched and hammered the ground;
At this point, the Earth Element Lord, after reassembling, had directly lost over a thousand vitality points. Damage caused by Song Jian after its disintegration did not constitute actual harm to its body, but was deducted at a certain ratio.
If not, the Earth Element Lord could have been unable to reassemble. When Song Jian caused it to break down into countless stone spheres, he dealt tens of thousands of points of damage to it.
Seeing that the Earth Element Lord’s vitality had dropped by over a thousand points, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Song Jian’s mouth. If he wanted to deal over a thousand points of damage right now, it would take at least half an hour. But in just a few minutes, he had already lost an eighth of its vitality.
Boom!
The fists of the Earth Element Lord fiercely smashed into the swamp, immediately starting a rain of mud. A wave of air hit the surface of the swamp, arousing a mud-wave that spread out in all directions.
Song Jian stomped his feet, his figure leaping into the air. In mid-air, a pair of wings gleaming with metallic luster appeared on his back. With two flutters, his body rose even higher;
The Earth Element Lord raised his head and stared at Song Jian in mid-air. Opening his mouth, a jet of gray mud spewed out towards Song Jian;
Song Jian had just risen into the air and was unable to dodge in time. By the time he reacted, the mud was already rushing towards him from everywhere;
Boom!
Song Jian felt as if he’d been caught in a mudslide, a five-hundred points worth of damage floated overhead. His body became uncontrollable, wrapped in the mud, and he fell towards the ground;
By the time Song Jian managed to get up from the ground, he found his body felt dozens of kilograms heavier, and every step he took was a struggle;
Taking a glance at himself, Song Jian’s face displayed a bitter smile. At this moment, he looked as if he had just crawled out from a squelch of mud, his body entirely covered in it.
Checking his status bar, there was a new debuff labeled “mud bind”. Not only was his movement speed and attack speed reduced by 30%, even his physical attributes temporarily dropped by 5 points.
“Feel the wrath of the earth!” The Earth Element Lord roared, raising its hands abruptly. Within a radius of dozens of meters, all the mud in the swamp congealed into dozens of thick mud pillars, which rose from the ground like tentacles, lashing out at Song Jian and the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon let out an angry roar, being wrapped up directly by five or six mud pillars of the size of water buckets. It struggled mightily at first, easily breaking free of the mud pillar’s constraints. But each time it broke free, some mud was left on its body, the more it left behind, the slower the struggle became.
In the end, the Black Dragon was heavily wrapped by more than a dozen mud pillars and pulled from mid-air to the ground. It looked as if it was wrapped in a thick cocoon, leaving only a dragonhead, bellowing in anger;
Meanwhile, around Song Jian, the pillars of mud went erect, one after the other, crashing down towards him;
Boom, boom, boom ~
Each mud pillar came down, colliding violently with the ground, the impact sounding like a landslide. Song Jian tried to dodge, but still got hit hard twice, his vitality immediately plunged considerably;
“I can’t keep going on like this, or I’ll have to use the ‘Enemy of Death God’ skill.” Song Jian glanced at the incapacitated Black Dragon, thinking to himself.
