How terrifying would a monster at the peak of the Elite Stage fight at full power?
Grimm did not know this before, but now he did!
The battle with the Hunter Spider Tula was painful.
The body of the Hunter Spider, which seemed to be made of metal, had outstanding magic resistance. Although its physical resistance was slightly weaker, it was more than enough to defend against Grimm's weak close-range attacks.
The battle between the two of them on the surface of the slowly rising sea of lava was extremely tragic. If Grimm had not been smart enough to unseal the Balrog's heart, he would have been skewered into a meat skewer by Tula's sharp limbs. The pair of pincers at the front of Tula's mouth were even more terrifying than he had imagined.
Grimm tried his best to burn Tula's body with his Flame Barrier, but it did not affect its ability to continue fighting.
Its body, which was as heavy as a truck, could move freely on the surface of the sea of lava. Its movements were as swift as a water spider. Tula's four pairs of sharp limbs moved quickly, moving its huge body around Grimm at top speed.
Once it found an opportunity, it would pounce on Grimm, its sharp limbs whistling through the air. They were like two metal spears stabbing towards Grimm's head and chest.
An ordinary Fire Shield wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack. Even the upgraded Lava Shield would only be able to hold on for one round. Every time the sharp appendages slashed past, a deep gash would appear on the half-meter-thick Lava Shield, almost cutting it in half.
Grimm could only use Lava Fireballs or Flame Whips to counterattack. As for other fire spells that required chanting and hand gestures, there was no need for him to use them. This was because these spells needed to be prepared. Even if Felic had prepared them, the other party would have already wandered to the periphery.
With the agility of the Hunter Spider, the accuracy of Grimm's spells would plummet when the distance between them was reduced to 20 meters. Rather than expending a lot of effort to cast a powerful spell that would be dodged, it was better to use Instant Spells to wear down the Hunter Spider's defensive force field.
The Lava Rain formed by the explosion of the Lava Fireballs was an area-of-effect spell. When it landed on the Hunter Spider's body, it would cause quite a bit of burn damage. As for the flame whips that directly hit it, they would leave a deep burn mark on its body. Without a dozen or so hours of effort, Tula couldn't rely on his powerful recovery ability to get rid of the flame damage.
Therefore, the two sides dashed left and right on the surface of the magma sea, seizing every opportunity to attack each other. But at the same time, they tried to dodge each other's attacks.
In less than 2 minutes, Grimm's fire shield and lava shield were completely destroyed. If it wasn't for the Ion Stone's energy shield, he would've been running around like a pineapple by now.
After realizing this, Tula changed its style of dodging every time it fired a shot. Instead, it charged at Grimm with all its might, not giving him a chance to replenish his external barrier.
Under the ferocious attacks of the Hunter Spiders, Grimm's magma armor began to show crisscrossing scars. Once the armor was damaged, the Hunter Demon Spider's next attack would directly threaten Grimm's body.
If he wanted something, he had to pay the price!
When Tula rushed to Grimm's side and attacked without restraint, it was equivalent to sending itself into the muzzle of a powerful fire wizard.
Molten Core!
Rapid Fireball!
Flaming Storm!
Lava Pillar!
Terrifying fire spells erupted between the two of them, and ferocious flame shockwaves baptized Tula's body over and over again, while the terrifying magma that corroded his bones and flesh burned his body until there wasn't an inch of skin left unscathed.
No matter how high Tula's magic resistance was, there was a limit. After Grimm's second transformation, the terrifying Balrog was able to break through Tula's magic resistance limit and madly deal fire damage to it. What made Tula even more uncomfortable was that every fire spell Grimm cast seemed to have a trace of annihilation property.
This allowed him to break through Tula's defences no matter how small the fire-elemental spell was, bringing him immense pain and shocking damage from the flames.
And the source of all this was the strange magic wand in his hand!
Perhaps because he had poured too much fire elemental energy into it, the black staff with red stripes and a dark red crystal embedded at the tip had turned into a pure fire staff. Violent and ferocious elemental flames encircled the body of the staff, and at the core of the flames was a purple flame.
For some reason, every time Grimm swung his fire staff and struck the Hunter Demon Spider's hard, furry body, the flames would scatter, and the shattered purple flames would fall on Tula's body. The small flames would cause Tula to scream in pain, unable to suppress the deep fear in his soul, and quickly hide far away.
It seemed that the purple flames had a strange ability to burn the soul!
Grimm had relied on this method to evade the Demon Hunter Spider Tula's attacks many times, giving himself the opportunity to repair his Lava Armor. As for the repair materials, he had plenty of them. As long as he bent down and smeared them on his body, the scratches and cracks would disappear after a while, and he would be as good as new.
After all, the Lava Ocean was Grimm's home ground!
There was no doubt that Grimm had the upper hand in this battle, and he could close the gap between him and the Hunter Demon Spider Tula.
Regardless of whether Grimm wanted to admit it or not, there was indeed a huge gap between him and Tula.
It was like a barefoot farmer fighting a battle-hardened warrior. If the farmer did not have a deadly weapon in his hand, this battle would have ended long ago.
In order to deal with this battle, Grimm had long since stored six powerful single-target spells in the Secret Voodoo Scroll hanging on his waist. Once he locked onto Tula's position, he would use this weapon to turn him into a roasted spider.
However, the experienced Tula seemed to be able to sense the threat of the Secret Voodoo Scroll. Once it discovered that Grimm had picked up the Secret Voodoo Scroll in close combat, it would immediately move away from him and quickly move about 20 meters away from him, using venom balls and spider webs to slow down Grimm's movements.
It had to be said that today's battle environment was extremely disadvantageous to the Hunter Demon Spider.
The reason why the Hunter Demon Spider was able to make a name for itself in various regions was because of the spider webs that could stick people to the spot and the terrifying grappling technique. The spider webs could restrict the enemy's freedom of movement, while the grappling technique allowed the Hunter Demon Spider's four pairs of sharp limbs and a pair of giant pincers to instantly form a terrifying 'multiple attack'.
Even a man made of steel would not be able to escape the fate of being poked into a hornet's nest.
Unfortunately, this was not something that could be replicated in the Lava Ocean. In this kind of environment, Grimm, a professional Fire Wizard, could display a terrifying 200% of his combat power.
Although the Hunter Demon Spider Tula still had a full body since the start of the battle, it was aware of the terrifying burns and fire damage it had to endure at every moment.
If a lava fireball hit its shell, it might only leave a basin-sized burn mark. If the sticky and heavy lava splashed onto the Demon Hunter Spider's body, it would also flow down its smooth shell. But in this process, it could not avoid the fire damage and the excruciating pain it had to endure.
Grimm moved around in the Sea of Fire, quickly attacking and defending the Hunter Demon Spider while calmly communicating with the Wizard's Pagoda. From time to time, the Wizard's Pagoda would shoot out lava fireballs, attacking the giant spider that was moving at high speed.
After the initial panic, the rest of the monster leaders saw that the magma sea was still rising, so they joined the battle between the two Elite powerhouses.
The Medusa relied on her long snake-like tail to move around the stone pillars and walls like a lizard. Sometimes, she could even move around the high ceilings. The strange longbow in her hand also unleashed a terrifying power.
The arrows she shot out were actually her own snake hair.
Every time she drew the longbow with all her might, a silver snake would crawl out of her hair and onto the bowstring. When this kind of arrow was shot in front of the enemy, it would instantly soften into a twisting body, opening its mouth and madly biting at the enemy.
If it wasn't for Grimm's powerful Flame Boundary that burnt every snake arrow that got close to him, even he would not have been able to avoid being entangled by the venomous snakes.
As for the Three-headed Magic Hound Angua, it obviously did not have the Medusa's Wall Climbing Technique. It could only use its claws and feet to dig into the stone pillars and climb up bit by bit, trying its best to stay as far away from the Lava Ocean as possible. It did not have the ability to attack Grimm, and instead had to defend against the lava fireballs from the Wizard's Pagoda.
Its three giant heads stared in all directions, and no matter what approached it, it would not hesitate to spit out a series of Wind Daggers, fireballs, and venomous balls.
The Giant Berserk Baboon was clearly more suited for this kind of guerilla warfare.
It grabbed onto the stone walls with its steel-like claws and leaped over them as if it was flying. It would even grab a piece of the wall from time to time and throw it at Grimm. Every time it hit Grimm, it would cause him to stumble, then create the best opportunity for the Magic Hunter Spider Tula to attack.
The more sinister Dark Tentacle Monster climbed onto the ceiling like an octopus, then leaped onto the Wizard's Pagoda. It swam around, looking for an opening to break through. Its partner was the Twin-legged Flying Dragon King.
The Twin-legged Flying Dragon King had a powerful body and thick, sharp claws. Every time it swooped down, it would cause sporadic damage to the Wizard's Pagoda. The damaged walls of the Wizard's Pagoda were covered in stone powder, and the terrifying cracks on the walls were shocking.
If not for the fact that they were worried about the concentrated lava fireballs, with their cooperation, they might have already dug through the walls of the Wizard's Pagoda and gone on a killing spree!
This was also because the Wizard's Pagoda did not have enough energy to put up a Force Field Protection and Elemental Barrier. Otherwise, they would not have been able to attack the Wizard's Pagoda so easily.
The situation on the battlefield was extremely tense. No matter which side lost control of the situation first, they might be instantly turned upside down by the other side.
