55 Ice Giants
Chu Bai opened his eyes.
It was a world of ice and snow.
[Ding. The current temperature is cold. You can’t keep warm enough, so your HP has dropped.]
-30, -30, -30
Chu Bai’s head was losing blood.
He was losing 30 HP every second, and so was Lil Xue’er.
This kind of state was not considered a negative effect. It was not freezing as Chu Bai was immune to freezing. This kind of effect was similar to being very cold, so it caused some harm to the human body. It was an environmental effect. After all, Chu Bai entered with his body, and his body was that of an ordinary person.
It was truly cold.
“30 HP in one second, 300 HP in ten seconds. This is bad. I’ll have to finish this level as soon as possible.”
Although he had Lil Xue’er and he still had health potions, there were still monsters he had to defeat. He had to minimize the damage he got from the monsters on this floor.
The key was to see what kind of monster it was.
Chu Bai took a step, and then… he almost slipped.
“F*ck! How am I supposed to fight?”
He needed special anti-slip shoes.
The first and second floors were basically not challenges that other players could pass alive. Luckily, Chu Bai had Unlimited Ultimate Skills, Lil Xue’er, and the Water of Life. These three were indispensable. Without them, Chu Bai might not be able to pass the first two floors.
The third floor was even more brutal. It directly affected Chu Bai’s environment.
Chu Bai tried to take a few steps. It was okay.
However, it was really easy to fall if one were to run.
In front of him, a few huge figures broke out of the ice.
There were five huge figures.
Each of them was at least five meters tall.
They were like giants formed from ice crystals. They were human-shaped and had red eyes. They looked very strong, but there was nothing special about them.
[Ice Giant. Level: 15. Grade: Gray-Silver Boss. HP: 16,000. Born in a cold space, its movements are relatively slow, but its attack and defense are extremely strong. Abyssal-level monster buff bonus: defense increased by 100%.]
[Skills-Icicle Sting: condenses five icicles and shoots them at an extremely fast speed at the target. Each icicle will deal damage and has a 50% chance of freezing the target for three seconds and a 50% chance of causing frostbite for five seconds. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Mystic Ice Protection: charges up power for one second to release the powerful Mystic Ice Protection. Attack power +100%, defense +300%, movement speed -100%, and lasts for 15 seconds. Cooldown time: one minute.]
[Chaotic Frostburst: chooses a 20-meter range to cast Chaotic Frostburst. Target will receive damage every second, target’s movement speed will be reduced by 50%, and target will enter a frozen state. At the same time, there’s a 10% chance of being frozen for three seconds every second. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
It was ridiculous.
The monsters on this floor had a 100% defense buff. As monsters with high defense, the ice crystal giants’ defense was already very high. If their defense was doubled, even a Level-15 Silver-Grade Boss would not be able to break through their defense.
There was also the skill, Dark Ice Barrier, which had a one-minute cooldown and a duration of 15 seconds.
The surrounding environment also made him lose 30 HP every second.
It was clear that the purpose of this floor was to exhaust the challengers to death.
Even if he had Lil Xue’er, he would probably be exhausted to death. After all, Lil Xue’er’s mana would also be depleted.
However…
The God-Slaying Calamity ignored defense! Even if the ice giant’s defense was 10,000,000, it would still be ignored.
However, from here, one could see just how tough the abyss-level of the Tower of Trials was.
If Chu Bai did not have the God Slaying Calamity, he would have died of exhaustion here, not to mention the other players.
“Lil Xue’er, as usual, you just need to find a place to hide and heal me.”
Lil Xue’er nodded.
As long as Lil Xue’er was within the skill’s range, it would be fine.
Then, Chu Bai charged toward the five ice giants with 16,000 HP.
There was only one purpose for him to rush over, and that was to attract aggro.
This floor was very simple. Chu Bai only needed to force one of them to use its ultimate move, and then Chu Bai would be able to kill them from far away.
“Sudden Strike!”
Whoosh!
-390!
“Sudden Strike!”
-390!
After five consecutive attacks, Chu Bai successfully pulled the aggro of the five ice giants.
The ice giants swung their huge arms at Chu Bai, but Chu Bai dodged them nimbly.
Their movements were relatively slow! However, once Chu Bai was hit, the damage should be higher than the Earthfire beasts’ damage bonus.
In the next instant, icicles formed in front of the five ice giants’ chests!
This was Icicle Sting!
One Ice Giant would throw out five icicles, so a total of 25 icicles were thrown!
With Chu Bai’s current movement speed and mobility, there was no way he could dodge all of them.
However…
Whoosh!
When the icicles shot over from multiple directions, Chu Bai immediately released Blade Waltz.
This skill was simply too useful. In addition to dealing damage, it could also force a state where he could not attack or be attacked. It could even avoid many fatal skills. Was this skill not a bit similar to invincibility?
However, it only lasted for one second.
Chu Bai landed on the ground. There were no more icicles.
“Lil Xue’er, release Holy Moment,” Chu Bai called out.
Lil Xue’er’s body burst out with white light. At the same time, Chu Bai’s body also glowed with white light.
[Ding. You’ve been blessed by the Holy Moment.]
“Triple Flame Slash!”
Chu Bai only attacked one of the ice giants because his goal was clear. He only needed to reduce the boss’ health so that it would release its ultimate skill.
Although these monsters would amplify their moves as they fought, they would definitely use their ultimate skills if their HP was still high.
-1,560, -1,560, -6,240!
“F*ck!”
Chu Bai was shocked by the damage he dealt.
Then, he saw the damage number. It was a bold weak-point attack.
The ice giant’s weakness was fire, so the damage was doubled. Chu Bai’s damage of 390 points immediately rose to 780 points. Lil Xue’er’s Holy Moment’s damage was doubled to 1,560. The third part of the attack doubled it further to 3,120, and the third part happened to trigger the double damage of God Slaying Calamity.
It directly exploded!
The ice giant was clearly shocked by the damage.
It immediately released Mystic Ice Protection.
However, no matter how it protected its body, it was useless against Chu Bai.
Then, Chaotic Frostburst was charging up!
After it finished charging, the area under Chu Bai’s feet was filled with Chaotic Frostburst.
[Ding. You’ve received the skill, Chaotic Frostburst.]
[Ding. You’re immune to speed reduction effects.]
[Ding. You’re immune to frostbite.]
-307, -307!
A huge amount of damage appeared above Chu Bai’s head. Two seconds later, he managed to escape from Chaotic Frostburst.
“Lil Xue’er!”
Lil Xue’er understood him very well. She immediately released Heavenly Healing and the Light of the Holy Spirit on Chu Bai.
His HP was full.
[Chaotic Frostburst: an ultimate skill from of the Ice Giants. It’ll cast chaotic frost burst in a 20-meter radius. The target will receive damage equal to their own magic attack power every second. During this period, movement speed will be reduced by 50%, and they’ll enter a frozen state. At the same time, there’s a 10% chance of freezing the target for three seconds every second. Cooldown time: none.]
“F*ck! This is a little awkward.”
This damage was equivalent to his magic attack power. Chu Bai’s magic attack power was only 140, so the efficiency of killing monsters was probably not high, but he won in terms of endurance and a large area.
“Forget it, I can kill it anyway. It’s my turn.”
Chu Bai looked at the five ice giants.
“Chaotic Frostburst!”
Chu Bai extended his hand and prepared a powerful move.
The five ice giants that were running over were immediately surrounded by Chaotic Frostburst.
However, these monsters seemed to only be affected by the speed reduction effect, and neither frost nor ice damage was effective.
-140, -140, -140!
Chu Bai kept releasing Chaotic Frostburst, preventing them from breaking free of the speed reduction.
“Lil Xue’er, let’s distance ourselves.”
Chu Bai and Lil Xue’er healed themselves while distancing themselves from these monsters. They relied on Chaotic Frostburst to slowly grind them to death.
Although Chu Bai and Lil Xue’er were losing HP, they could still hold on.
Chu Bai could take advantage of this time to recover, and Lil Xue’er could also recover some mana.
Lil Xue’er’s method of recovering her magical power was too slow, so Chu Bai gave her magical power recovery potions.
[Ding. Congratulations, you’ve passed the third floor of the abyss-level trial. All four basic attributes +5.]
Then, there was a flash of light, and Chu Bai and Lil Xue’er were brought to the fourth level.
[Ding. You’ve arrived at the fourth floor of the abyss-level Tower of Trials.]
