In fact, there was no need for Dr. Lakwald to remind Li Huailin and the others. They had already seen the current situation. Not far ahead was the altar that Dr. Lakwald had mentioned. It wasn't an ordinary altar either. It occupied a very large area. The entire circular black stone altar was made of strange black stone. It didn't look ordinary at all.
Of course, what attracted Li Huailin's attention now wasn't the altar itself. Instead, it was something that looked like a black hole in the middle of the altar. This thing floated in the middle of the altar. It looked like a sphere, but its color was green. It constantly emitted a strange light around it. At first glance, it didn't look right.
"This is the rift." Dr. Lakwald immediately said, "Not good. This size … We must immediately seal this rift again."
As he spoke, he heard a sizzling sound coming from the other side of the crevice. It sounded like boiling liquid dripping onto the ground. He looked up and saw some green liquid flowing out from the crevice. Before it flowed onto the ground, it made a sizzling sound as it rubbed against the air. Then, it slowly coalesced and a new wind element appeared.
It was obvious that this Wind Elemental appeared from the rift. However, the way it appeared was a little strange. It might be because the Elemental creatures in the Elemental Plane existed in a different form. Of course, everyone knew where this new Wind Elemental came from.
"What should we do?" Li Huailin asked immediately. He really didn't have time now, so he wanted to complete the Quest as soon as possible.
"I have to go there to use the Sealing Spell. Escort me there." Dr. Lakwald said bluntly. When the mission was issued, it was mentioned that they needed guards, and that was why they were here.
There were many Wind Elemental creatures around the altar. Not only were half of them ordinary monsters, but there were also some Elite Wind Elementals. These Elite Wind Elementals were different from the ones that were wandering around. They were obviously guarding the altar. Without saying anything, it seemed like they had to fight. Li Huailin and the others immediately began to clear the area.
Fortunately, the difficulty wasn't as exaggerated as they thought. Although there were a lot of Wind Elementals around, they didn't all come at once. Instead, they came in batches. Of course, Li Huailin's response was relatively simple. One person on each side would aggro the Elite monsters first, while the others would kill all the small monsters. Then, they would deal with the Elite monsters together.
In fact, it wasn't a problem for each person on each side to deal with an Elite monster. With his Attributes, HP regeneration per second, and some defensive skills, he wouldn't lose any HP. However, the Elite monsters had too much HP. It would take him a long time to defeat them. But with Li Huailin's damage, there wouldn't be a problem. An Elite monster with 200,000 HP couldn't last more than 30 seconds in Li Huailin's hands. It died in a dozen slashes. So, although there were a lot of monsters, the clearing time was very fast.
After about 20 minutes, more than 70 Wind Elementals of various sizes around the altar were killed. To prevent any accidents, even the monsters in the distance were pulled over and killed by True Wind. Very quickly, the area around the altar was cleared. However, they encountered a troublesome problem. The crack in the middle of the altar seemed to constantly teleport new Elementals out. So, it was impossible to clear the area completely. According to the speed of the monsters coming out of the crack, it would only take ten minutes for the area to be filled with monsters again.
Yes, this Quest would be very troublesome if they got wiped. The Rebirth point was too far away. By the time they arrived, all the monsters would have respawned. When that time came, they would have to start all over again. For an ordinary party, this would be a dead end. Fortunately, Li Huailin's party wasn't ordinary. As long as they could clear it in one go, it wouldn't be a problem.
After the surrounding monsters were cleared, Dr. Lakwald immediately walked toward the crack in the middle. Of course, Li Huailin and the others immediately followed. At this time, monsters would spawn from time to time. Of course, they had to protect the NPCs. As soon as they stepped onto the altar, everyone felt a strong gust of wind. Before entering the altar, they hadn't felt this before. Now that they had taken a step, they felt as if they had entered a completely different world.
It was as if a typhoon had swept across the entire altar. It was as if the surrounding air was gathering toward the crack in the middle. Dr. Lakwald, who was wearing a long robe, felt as if the wind would blow him away. His entire robe stuck to his body. On the other hand, Li Huailin and the other players were fine. Although they felt the strong gust of wind, they didn't feel as if they would be blown away. Their clothes didn't change, either.
"I'm going to start the seal. Protect me! Don't let anyone interrupt my casting!" Dr. Lakwald shouted at the players in the strong wind. He didn't wait for Li Huailin's reply and immediately began to move.
Dr. Lakwald retrieved the Elemental Seal that Li Huailin had obtained. Before he could do anything, the Elemental Seal on his side began to glow with a golden light. It seemed to be resonating with the lustful light coming from the crack in front of him. The crack in front of him also seemed to react to the Elemental Seal. Not only did the light around it become brighter, but the thing that flowed out of it also increased in speed.
Dr. Lakwald moved quickly. His mouth seemed to be chanting some kind of incantation, and he directly cut his wrist. Of course, blood immediately burst out. Because the surrounding wind was too strong, Dr. Lakwald's blood was immediately blown away by the wind. Dr. Lakwald frowned slightly. He picked up the Elemental Seal and rubbed it on his bleeding arm, staining it with his own blood. Then, he said in a clear voice, "Great God, the world's strongest light, the world's greatest Elemental. With the blood of the son of the great pioneer, Ludwig Lakwald, I beg you to guide …"
Before Dr. Lakwald could finish speaking, the air around the crack suddenly tightened. Then, everyone saw a green object suddenly rush out of the crack, heading straight for Dr. Lakwald. Although everyone was prepared, the attack was a little too fast. There was no time to react at all. Everyone only saw it, but they didn't have time to react at all.
"Bang!" Dr. Lakwald was swept by the green object, and his entire body flew out. Then, he directly hit the stone pillar behind him. Just by listening to the sound, it was obvious that the impact was not light. The green object in front of him slowly took shape. It felt like a Slime was slowly gathering together. After a flash of light, it turned into a humanoid creature that was flashing with lustful light.
This humanoid creature was similar to a normal human in terms of size and appearance. The difference was that its entire body was made of green elemental liquid. If one had to describe it, it would be a bit like a dyed liquid robot. The previous thing didn't have a name, but after it turned into a human, a name appeared above its head, and it was displayed in red. Sol Ledra. It sounded a bit like a human's name, but it was obviously not a human. It was an elemental creature, and it was probably a boss.
"Are we still going to fight a boss?" Li Huailin and the others weren't surprised that a boss would appear. After all, this was an S-rank mission. It would be a bit unreasonable not to have a boss. But what surprised Li Huailin was that the boss was actually an elemental creature in human form. He thought it was a huge wind elemental or something like that.
"You can't stop King Vashmir's plan!" The wind elemental creature called Sol didn't hold back at all. As soon as it appeared, it noticed Li Huailin and the others and immediately launched an attack. It raised its hand and a few powerful wind blades flew towards Li Huailin and the others. Fortunately, everyone was already prepared for battle. Heaven and Earth took the initiative to step forward and activate their Holy Shield to withstand the wind blades' damage. The boss battle officially began.
Li Huailin didn't dodge the wind blades flying towards him. It wasn't that Li Huailin couldn't dodge them, but he was just testing the opponent's attack power out of habit. So, on the other hand, Li Huailin directly rushed towards the opponent with his sword. Of course, it was a head-on collision with the opponent's wind blades.
-3520。
The damage was still acceptable. To be honest, it wasn't as high as Li Huailin had imagined, but it wasn't very low either. It was in a situation where it was neither too high nor too low. However, when he thought about it, his Resistance seemed to be negative. In that case, the damage wasn't very high. Sure enough, Li Huailin looked at Twinkle Tangerine, who was also hit by the wind blades. Twinkle Tangerine's HP bar was about the same as his. Because Li Huailin's total HP was definitely higher than his, the damage was not very high. It was only because of his low resistance that he could only deal more than 3500 damage.
The boss was actually not as difficult as Li Huailin had imagined. Li Huailin was a little surprised, but even so, he didn't stop attacking. Instead, he approached the boss and directly attacked.
-9031。
It wasn't a critical hit, but the damage wasn't low either. This boss's Defense really wasn't very high, but it was a pity that he didn't manage to instantly kill it. As expected, although this elemental creature was indeed humanoid and didn't have any armor, it couldn't be instantly killed. It couldn't trigger the special effect of the source. Li Huailin also roughly understood that monsters without the concept of armor couldn't be instantly killed. In order to trigger the special effect, the enemy would probably have to be equipped with armor. Then, if the target didn't have any armor or was equipped with cloth armor, it could only be triggered.
Just as Li Huailin was about to continue attacking, he didn't expect to suddenly hear a cry from behind him. Li Huailin looked up and saw the Jade Emperor Summoning standing beside Professor Lakwald, who had just been sent flying.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"This NPC … died," the Jade Emperor Summoning said in disbelief.
"What?"
