Inside the dark forest.
Søren carried Vivian on his back and moved forward. Gloria followed behind with light steps, and Aladdin was in front of them. The Halfling didn't have much of an opinion about the addition of an eight-year-old girl to the adventurer team. After all, they had all seen Vivian's terrible explosive power. A round of Arcane Missiles could instantly kill a lot of enemies and could save lives at a critical moment. Even if the Arcane Missiles were used up, Vivian still had nine Level 0 spells and one Level 2 spell, which could provide a lot of support.
Søren didn't expect that the little Vivian could grow so fast. It seemed that she was most likely the child of God!
This was because she learned and memorized spells faster than Søren.
The group trekked in the forest for a day, and by noon the next day, they were close to the location of the Elemental Portal. This was a portal left behind many years ago. Its location was relatively hidden, in a canyon near the Emerald Mountains. From the moment they arrived near the portal, the number of trees and weeds gradually decreased. Too much elemental energy would also affect the growth of plants. This was because too much elemental energy of a single type would form an effect similar to a domain, gradually repelling other elements.
The land here was a little dry, and there were weathered rocks everywhere. There were also some sculptures left from a long time ago.
These were the sculptures of the Spirit of the Earth, a high-level earth element. It was also the spiritual incarnation of the legendary earth. They usually slept deep underground, and only some special methods could awaken them and summon them to the surface. After the group entered the canyon, their expressions became serious. Søren put Vivian down and let her walk behind with Gloria. At the same time, he pulled out his curved sword and looked around vigilantly. Aladdin held a short sword in his hand and walked lightly with his feet, always observing the movements around him.
How powerful were Spellcasters?
Looking at the two spells that Gloria released, he understood. As she chanted a spell, a magic aura fell on everyone.
— — "Greater Agility!"
Agility was also known as' Cat's Grace '. Its effect was to temporarily increase Agility by 4 points, up to a maximum of 25 points. Ordinary Featherweight was a level 2 spell and belonged to the category of single-target buffs. However, Gloria's spell was a level 6 spell and could be used for group buffs. The duration of the spell was also twice as long as ordinary Featherweight. Søren's Agility was boosted to 24 points, while Aladdin's Agility was boosted to 25 points. After all, he was a purebred Rogue, and his Profession Level had reached above Level 10. His Agility would definitely not be lower than his.
"Haste!"
When the second ray of light fell, Søren's movement speed had doubled. His normal sprinting speed had completely surpassed that of an Olympic champion, reaching a speed of 4 to 5 seconds per 100 meters. At the same time, his attack speed was also much faster than before, and the number of times he could swing his sword in a second had increased by at least one. This spell was also a group buff. The number of people affected was determined by the level of the caster, and the duration was determined by the strength of the spell.
Gloria stopped after casting the two spells, and casually cast an energy barrier on herself and Vivian.
After that, there was basically nothing for them to do.
Spellcasters were just that cool. Only when they encountered a situation that they could not resist would they continue to cast spells to turn the tables.
Aladdin was quite excited as he stretched his muscles and bones. Then, he jumped four or five meters away. After landing, he turned around and directly jumped onto the cliff. He ran seven or eight steps on the wall like acrobatics, and then lightly landed on the ground. He said happily, "It's really been a long time since I cooperated with a Wizard. I really miss the days when I was buffed by spells! "
Søren was also stretching his muscles and bones to adapt to the speed and agility after the spell buff. It took time to adapt to the sudden increase in Agility, otherwise, it would be easy to deviate in battle. However, they were all experienced Rogues, and after a little exercise, they grasped the extent of the spell buff. These two spells were the most commonly used spells by Wizards to buff Rogues. They could greatly improve their agility and combat explosiveness.
Gloria nodded gently, looked at them and said, "Let's finish this quickly. These two spells can only last for half an hour. "
Half an hour was enough.
Søren made a gesture to Aladdin next to him, and then the two of them moved forward from the east and west. Experienced Rogues could replace Warriors. At their level, Rogues' ability to fight head-on was not bad. Aladdin made a gesture, and then rushed into the valley. He raised his hand and threw out a hidden weapon. Elementals did not have any fatal weaknesses, and they did not have any vital organs. Undead could hit the spine and soul fire to achieve the effect of a fatal blow, but Elementals could only exhaust the life energy in their bodies bit by bit.
This group of creatures was immune to Backstab.
Of course, it was not absolute immunity. Just like when fighting against a Lich, if you could hit the soul fire in its eye socket, you could also achieve the fatal damage of Backstab, but the difficulty of achieving it was simply too high. To deal with these Elementals, you had to accurately hit their Elemental Core, which was usually in a certain position in their body. The requirements for strength and weapons were extremely high. With the current equipment of Søren and Aladdin, it was basically impossible to penetrate the body of an Elemental.
Many supernatural creatures could only launch a Fatal Blow by hitting a certain point! Only the effect of Fatal Blow could be combined with Backstab!
This required the legendary ability [Insight into Weakness].
* Rumble! *
With a dull sound, a three-meter tall monster was lured out. It looked like a human made of mud and stones. It had four limbs, a torso, and a head. However, its head was just a piece of rock, and the outline of its face could be vaguely seen. The weight of the Earth Elemental was more than half a ton. Every step it took left deep footprints on the ground. Its momentum was like a bulldozer, flattening all the stones in its way.
* Clang! *
Søren raised his hand and threw out a throwing knife, but it was deflected by the solid rock in front of its chest. It only left a shallow mark on its body.
It could not break through its defense!
Fighting against Elementals was such a disgusting thing. The Earth Elemental had a layer of natural elemental armor, which made it immune to all physical damage below 10 points.
There was no doubt that it was like throwing rocks at them. The only difference was that this rock was bigger and fiercer.
"Earth Elemental [Elemental] (Grade 4)"
"Challenge Rating: Level 9, Monster Level: 15, Has Spell-like Abilities"
"Highest and Lowest Attributes: 22 and 10, Total Attribute Points: 90-100"
"Special Abilities: Elemental Armor, Bash, Elemental Trait, Earth Throw"
"Challenge Difficulty: A-"
… … …
It was not a joke that it was twice as strong as the Snake Demon from the Abyss. Just the A- difficulty alone was enough to prove how difficult it was to deal with this kind of elemental creature. Søren and Aladdin pounced at the Earth Elemental from the left and right. They nimbly twisted their bodies and leaped, dodging the Earth Elemental's waving arms. The two jumped up at the same time and swung their weapons at the Earth Elemental's weak points. Part of its body was made of mud. Its limbs were made of rock, but its joints were made of mud.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Søren's curved sword flashed in a cold light as he dodged the Earth Elemental's waving arms. The enemy's reaction speed was slower.
A row of battle data appeared:
"Target hit."
"You have attacked the Earth Elemental three times! … Dealt 5, 4, 3 points of physical damage! … … "
"You have successfully enraged the target."
Søren's hand was slightly numb. After cutting through the mud, he hit a rock. The impact was not small. It was like fighting with a rock. There wasn't even the slightest bit of pleasure from cutting flesh and bones with a knife. Aladdin's nimble figure also landed on the ground from the side. He circled around the Earth Elemental and seized the opportunity to jump up and stab the enemy's arm joint. The two's weapons were still of high quality and did not bend. But after this battle, no one knew.
"Attack the joints of the left and right legs." Søren shouted in a low voice. He passed through the gap between the Earth Elemental's legs and swung his curved sword at the enemy's knees. It was made of soft mud. As long as a supernatural creature maintained a human form, it would follow the basic rules. Without legs, it would not be able to move.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! A series of sparks appeared. The two were like butterflies flying through flowers. In just one or two minutes, the Earth Elemental's knees were hit more than ten times. Finally, it reached a critical point and the Earth Elemental's legs broke. But what surprised Søren was that without its legs, it could still move with its legs. However, its balance and movement speed were greatly reduced. At least they had achieved their goal of attacking.
Søren hit it a total of twelve times. The accumulated damage was about 60 points. Aladdin's attacks might be a little more, but his damage was not as high as Søren's. The Earth Elemental's level was 15, and a conservative estimate was that it had 150 basic HP. As a supernatural Elemental, it also had an additional 100 or so HP. In other words, its HP could be close to 300 points, which was more than many high-grade Warriors.
The Earth Elemental did not pose much of a threat because of its reduced mobility. But the two of them surrounded it and hit it. It took them about a hundred hits to finally disperse the elemental energy on its body. Søren signaled for the Halfling to stop. In the end, he successfully finished off the Earth Elemental in front of him.
Both of their weapons were bent, but the rewards were not small.
"Hit successful."
"You dealt 4 slash damage to the Earth Elemental! … Target killed! … "
"Extracting soul energy."
"You received 2550 Slaughter EXP."
