Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Danger Upon Danger
“Wait, what sort of plan do you have for such a desperate situation?”
They saw very clearly in their ghost form that Li Yao was having a hard time even defending himself, he could barely attack at all.
He could only roll and leap backward to loose an arrow. With the boss’s healing ability, he could only stay on par with it.
Under these circumstances, it seemed nearly impossible to defeat this creature.
Of course they knew that Li Yao still had a summoning scroll from a familiar, but under these circumstances, summoning a Treant would be of no use.
The Treant would basically be one-hit kills, not to mention the healing Treant. With the boss’s frenzied state, it could kill in one hit, there was basically no use for it.
Li Yao again narrowly dodged the boss’s charge, he had even reached the edge of the spiral corridor.
“He’s trying to use the curve of the spiral corridor to limit the boss’s charge. If it really works, it’s not a bad idea, maybe he can kite it to death.” When they saw Li Yao had moved to the side of the spiral corridor, The Unparalleled Enchantress had already guessed Li Yao’s plan.
The team members suddenly realized what he was doing, and the extinguished flame of hope was ignited again.
If he really succeeded, their second boss development would truly be complete.
Li Yao quickly slid along the tree trunk of the uncle’s ancient tree down the spiral corridor, and the boss launched another charge.
Seeing the boss’s charge, everyone was filled with despair.
“Damn it, this is defying the laws of nature. This guy’s charge is so fast, yet he can still turn corners, holy mother of…” The Guardian Angel burst into expletives.
“It’s over. In this terrain, the chairman can’t dodge it.” Newcomer Mu Zi also seemed regretful.
Everyone felt as if they were about to start over, Li Yao, in order to reach the spiral corridor, kept using his displacement skills, and now the battle had worn on till he was almost out of mana. He couldn’t use Shadow Roll and even though Flash had a short cooldown, it was still in cooldown.
Li Yao’s wings were also in cooldown, they were basically unusable.
Just when everyone thought Li Yao was about to be killed by the charge, a glint flashed through Li Yao’s eyes.
Time Trace!
In an instant, Li Yao returned to where he was twelve seconds ago, and the boss’s charge pierced through Li Yao’s afterimage.
If Li Yao was a second late, he would have been killed instantly.
“Ignorant riffraff, no matter how much you struggle you cannot escape the god of nightmares’ divine punishment.”
A hint of surprise flashed through the eyes of the Centaur High Priest as he quickly turned around.
“If you want to kill me, come on, but the one to die is certainly not me.” The light in Li Yao’s eyes glowed brighter, the eyes of the High Elf seemed to be burning with blue flames.
“Is that so? Then I’ll grant you your wish.” The High Priest charged at Li Yao once again.
However, this time the distance was too far, and Li Yao easily dodged it.
“Holy shit, I forgot Li Yao still had this move.” Someone commented.
“But it’s still pointless, this guy can drift so smoothly, it’s practically unsolvable.” Another complained.
Li Yao stood directly at the edge of the platform and calmly said, “I’ll be here, even if I die, I’ll take you with me.”
“Hahaha, you think I can’t stop if my speed is too high? Well then, I will let you witness as I execute you, and get to enjoy the scenery from the edge.” The High Priest rushed towards Li Yao once again while taunting him.
Li Yao looked at the High Priest, and when the High Priest lunged at him, Li Yao suddenly jumped back, his body leaving the platform entirely.
A hint of surprise flashed in the High Priest’s eyes, and he quickly reined in his power. Although his words were fierce, abruptly halting his charge was extremely difficult. He barely managed to stop at the edge, but his body leaned over the edge, causing him to break into a cold sweat.
The Starfire Team let out a regretful sigh. This attempt did not succeed.
“Hold on, it’s not over yet.”
It turned out they were paying attention to the centaur and forgot about Li Yao. Upon hearing the Unparalleled Enchantress’s words, they turned their gaze, and only then did they see Li Yao far behind the boss with a crossbow in front of him.
Li Yao was seen tearing open two scrolls in succession. When the first scroll was activated, Li Yao’s body was enveloped in a golden glow, and his body suddenly grew by nearly half.
The glow from the second scroll was directly added to the crossbow in front of him, which was also enveloped in a glow.
“Scroll of Great Strength, Military Enhancement Scroll.”
All members knew that Li Yao had exchanged some scrolls, and they knew what the scrolls did.
The Scroll of Great Strength was one of the scrolls made by the Ancient Tree, it enhanced the user’s strength attribute, and the Military Enhancement Scroll could enhance the attributes of war items.
Then, Li Yao’s body exuded a dazzling dark golden light, and a chilling momentum rose to the sky.
“Dominate!”
Everyone knew that Li Yao had used this new skill. This was also an attribute that increased strength.
At this moment, the Centaur High Priest had already turned around and was looking back. His face was full of mockery.
“You’re really overestimating your abilities. You think these little tricks…”
Thud!
The moment he turned his head, before he could finish his sentence, he saw a flash of light and a giant steel arrow hit him square in the chest.
Thud!
The crossbow arrow directly took 1% of his health, leaving him with less than 2% now.
However, that was not the main issue. The most important thing was, under everyone’s expectant gaze.
The Centaur’s body was sent flying back by the huge force, then fell abruptly.
“No, how could I die like this?”
The High Priest desperately grabbed the edge of the platform. You see, the place Li Yao chose was not far from where the spiral corridor and the platform meet. If he fell anywhere else, he might end up on the corridor.
But, from here, it was a three thousand yard drop.
“You’re wrong, it’s already over.”
Li Yao slowly stepped forward, continuously shooting at his hand.
The Centaur High Priest’s current state of power came from the specter behind him.
It increased his own tonnage and power so much that when he charged, he was like a truck. However, if his normal state, he might have been able to pull himself up with one hand.
But now, with the dozens of specters behind him, the enormous weight he was carrying, it was already a struggle to just hang on the edge.
“No, this is impossible.” Terror filled the High Priest’s eyes.
Right now, if he stayed as he was, he would be grinded down slowly by Li Yao. If he let go, he would fall to his death.
Yet if he canceled his current state, he might ease his struggle and manage to pull himself up, but without the enhancement from the specters.
Given his current health, standing against the fearsome Li Yao, he still faced certain death.
“God of Nightmares, my lord, would you really abandon your most loyal servant like this?” The eyes of the Centaur High Priest were filled with confusion and fear.
“Your lord has always been using you all along.” Li Yao sighed.
“Elf, you win this round. But you won’t always be victorious. My lord will not abandon me. Next time, your soul will be devoured by the nightmare.” The High Priest said as he let go and his massive body plummeted…
