As Autumn Breeze's impression of Xu Feng continuously increased, Xu Feng himself was feeling anything but proud.
'Please stop being impressed by me.' He wanted to hide his ability as much as possible. He did not want to show off at all.
This was supposed to be a quick business deal, with no attachment.
How was he supposed to advance further if people became interested in him so early on?
Suddenly, Xu Feng was enlightened and seemed to have realized a great method to get Autumn Breeze to dislike him.
Turning to her, he chuckled lightly and said in a somewhat cute tone, "Pretty awesome, right? Sometimes I really am just that amazing, don't you agree? Others say I'm acting awesome, but I'm just born awesome. Ahh, this is why I never like to reveal myself often."
"Indeed, you are really awesome." Autumn Breeze flashed a graceful smile and gave him a thumbs-up.
"..."
This kind of unexpected response nearly stumped Xu Feng. Clearly, he was expecting her to become disgusted at his supposedly "cute" tone and acts.
Alas, if Xu Feng knew his display of capability so far had completely changed her impression of him, then he wouldn't have attempted such an embarrassing act.
After all, now that he had proven himself, whatever words he said would be soothing to one's ears.
Not to mention, Autumn Breeze only hated those who talked big but couldn't back it up. Thus, she was absolutely fine with his impromptu act, despite being surprised initially.
Feeling his face burning up, Xu Feng was relieved that he had a mask covering his face. Otherwise, he might really have to dig a hole and bury himself.
'Ahh, didn't you hate me earlier and was always against me? What's with the sudden change of behavior?' He lamented inwardly, realizing his charm was just simply too high to be stopped.
Thankfully, there was no time for small banter when the Inferno Tyrant's attack phase resumed.
"Alright, focus up! The left side will be called Team 1, and the right side will be called Team 2. When I make the command for your specific team, you will do as follows." Xu Feng shouted loudly.
"Autumn Breeze, start off by summoning your Lesser Elementalist and shield it. I want you to control it toward the open area there." He turned to her and said, pointing at a large empty area.
Initially confused, Autumn Breeze soon realized what he was trying to achieve.
"Got it," she said, summoning the Water Elementalist specifically and shielding it properly this time. By the time the Water Elementalist appeared, the Inferno Tyrant seemed to be infuriated.
Its glaring magma eyes were locked on the Water Elementalist.
It was quite clear that the appearance of the Water Elementalist reminded them of the failure of pressuring the intruders.
"Very clever," Xu Feng praised her, having instantly grabbed the aggro from the boss.
"Of course, Autumn Breeze's intelligence is not one to be fathomed with." Gentle Wind suddenly chimed in, seemingly acting quite mysteriously.
Her words seemed to have hidden some deep meaning, but Xu Feng's mind was too occupied to care about at the moment.
While the Inferno Tyrant overlooked the rest and focused solely on the Water Elementalist.
Xu Feng began his command, "Team 1, use Brutal Bash and Armor Piercing Round bullets at the left of the molten leg. Sorcerers, remain in your position and try your best to angle the trajectory of your spells before firing."
Turning his attention to the right side swiftly, he instructed, "Team 2, use Savage Slam and Jousting Sweep simultaneously at the left molten arm. Same thing for the Sorcerers, but remain steady and calm. No need to rush things."
"As for us, we shall wait." Xu Feng then mumbled softly to Gentle Wind while asking for the timid female Sorcerer username.
"You're talking about SilentWhisper?" Gentle Wind raised an eyebrow. "Did she do something wrong?"
"Ah, no, I was just curious since she's a Sorcerer like you." Xu Feng shook his head.
And he continued, "Later on, it's going to be the final struggle of the boss, so I'll need you to remain focused completely. There can be no mishaps."
"I understand." Gentle Wind nodded and clenched tightly on her staff, her expression turning solemn.
Sometime later, Team 1 and Team 2 completed their task flawlessly, as the Inferno Tyrant focused its attention entirely on the Water Elementalist, ignoring the others.
In its mind, the pitiful amount of players attacking him was nothing but futile damage.
Just when it finally caught up to the Water Elemenalist and annihilated it with a fierce magma palm strike, the Inferno Tyrant finally realized its movement was disturbed.
The collective damage dealt upon his left leg and left arm made him somewhat balanced on one foot. The gravitational impact of it was slowly causing him to fall down.
"Now, Gentle Wind and SilentWhisper, aim your spells at the boss's right torso." Xu Feng commanded and buffed Gentle Wind specifically.
With the buff, Gentle Wind's spell damage increased, as well as its knockback effect, prompting the Inferno Tyrant to collapse from its mighty height position.
At the same time, Xu Feng was eyeing someone very closely.
'Oh, they can still endure it huh. Well, it's not like you have a chance either.' He thought to himself, wondering if he should allow them an opportunity.
It was just a shame that his thought process was interrupted by another loud roar from the Inferno Tyrant.
"It's roaring again?" Autumn Breeze rolled her eyes. "Does it know anything else other than roaring?"
As soon as Autumn Breeze finished her question, the Inferno Tyrant started to float in the air, deflecting everyone that was nearby it, specifically the tanks such as Berserkers and Knight Lancers who had to go on melee range.
While the rest were astonished by the situation, the Inferno Tyrant started spitting out magma from its mouth.
From within the magma that was spit out, they slowly merged until their appearance looked no different than lava golems.
"You had to ask, didn't you?" Xu Feng gazed at Autumn Breeze, followed by Gentle Wind, and nearly everyone in the area.
