However, this wasn't a fair contest. Bai Xiaowen's side wouldn't give the Steam Elemental Lord a chance to fight one-on-one.
Ahan, Baraka, Harold … A group of melee powerhouses landed on the small lava island.
There was still a trace of residual heat from the volcanic lava on the ground of the island, and the lava mist gushing out of the cracks had to be avoided carefully. Once they touched it, it would be equivalent to taking a spell attack, and they would suffer a certain burn effect.
Under Bai Xiaowen's arrangement, six ships surrounded the small island. At the bow of each ship stood at least one human Great Mage wearing a mage robe with an extraordinary aura. Including the blonde female Mage Catherine, there were as many as eight of them.
These eight Great Mages had all learned a basic frost spell or found a magic staff with a basic frost spell according to Bai Xiaowen's request. They were the main force of this battle.
Ahan and the melee leaders would hold the fort, and the long-range Great Mages could attack without worry. Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Rui, and Cecilia also participated in the battle, using long-range attacks to gain a certain amount of kill contribution.
Although a large number of spirit world leaders and even lords would participate in the battle, which would cause the loot treasure chests to shrink, it was better than nothing.
At this juncture, the White Phoenix team obviously didn't have a chance to fight the lord one-on-one. Moreover, it was unknown whether the White Phoenix team could defeat this lord who had the geographical advantage. After all, the boss' HP was too fast, and it could escape into the sea at any time if it couldn't defeat it. The White Phoenix team didn't have the ability to stop it.
However, it was different with Ahan and the others. Several melee powerhouses formed an iron wall, making it impossible for the Steam Elemental Lord Colorios to rush out. On the periphery, the eight Great Mages and Bai Xiaowen continuously cast basic spells such as Ice Breath, Frost Shards, and so on. Due to the fact that their attributes countered each other, each of the basic frost spells could cause considerable damage and reduce Colorios's speed.
Colorios's second stage was a split form, which divided into seven leader-level Steam Elementals. Each clone had the effect of "Steam Aura", which would deal AOE damage to melee targets. Most importantly, "Steam Aura" didn't require continuous casting. The clones could also cast "Burning Arrow" at the same time, shooting a wave of arrows at one of the Archmages.
If the seven [Burning Current Arrows] hit at the same time, even a High Rank Commander would not be able to escape death.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen was prepared. He summoned three Skeleton Shield Warriors and placed them in front of the Great Mage. Each Skeleton Shield Warrior was hit by two to three Burning Arrows. As if they had been splashed with strong acid, they quickly corroded and dissipated, releasing a large amount of white mist.
The name of the Great Wizard who managed to escape was Gibbs. After recovering from his shock, he thanked Bai Xiaowen profusely.
The other leaders felt that they had lost face. With so many people besieging him, if he still managed to kill one of their companions, it would seem that everyone present was too incompetent. Immediately, each of the leaders unleashed their ultimate skills. Very quickly, the seven split-bodies were killed one by one.
After the last split-body fell, the Steam Elemental Lord Colorios appeared again. Its Health Points had dropped to 33.33%, and it had entered the third stage — Flame Elemental Lord!
The seawater on the surface of Colorios's body had already evaporated, and the inner layer was filled with dancing flames. One could vaguely see a fist-sized flame core. Its body had also become much smaller, about twice the size of an ordinary person.
"Turn to ashes!"
Colorios grabbed the Holy Artifact — Balguera's Punishment — from the magma pool behind him. The long-handled warhammer in his hand was just a one-handed hammer. He brushed the warhammer with his other hand, and the surface of the warhammer immediately ignited with raging flames.
Bai Xiaowen warned, "Be careful, this guy is completely different from before …" He then told everyone about the changes in Colorios's third stage.
First, the Steam Aura had turned into a Burning Aura. Its range had greatly increased, and its damage had also increased.
Most importantly, Colorios had changed to a melee form and obtained an additional skill — Flame Weapon — which was the ability he had just used. It could add flame power to his weapon, and his normal attacks would have additional fire damage based on his mental power!
The Barbarian Basaka suffered a small loss. He was hit in the ribs by the warhammer, and he stumbled back three steps. His ribs were charred black, and he coughed up a lump of black blood. Fortunately, he had thick skin and flesh, so it wasn't a big problem. Instead, it stimulated his ferocity. He roared and pounced forward again, smashing down with the bone warhammer with both hands.
Although Colorios's damage output was high in the last stage, it didn't increase his survivability. Another piece of good news was that Frost Magic could still cause additional damage to him.
Moreover, Colorios seemed to be unable to unleash the true power of the Holy Weapon. He could only use it as an indestructible weapon, and the real damage was still the Flame Weapon.
Ahon stood at the very front. Compared to three years ago, his skills had become even more skillful, and when he swung his greatsword, there was a faint feeling of great skill without any effort. Colorios's Bone-Piercing Warhammer was always blocked by the greatsword.
The leaders and the archmages attacked with all their strength, and soon, Colorios's last bit of HP was emptied.
"I curse you in the name of Flame!"
Before Colorios died, he suddenly exploded, and a magnificent ring of fire spread out. This ring of fire expanded very quickly. Although Bai Xiaowen had received the warning, he didn't have time to dodge. He could only summon the Butcher in advance and block in front of Cecilia.
Almost everyone who besieged Colorios was baptized by the ring of fire.
Bai Xiaowen suffered 300 points of fire damage. Fortunately, he had the Wrath Claw to share the damage. Qiao Rui had the protection of the Jade Forging Spell, and Cecilia had the Butcher in front of her, so the damage wasn't serious.
Of course, the leaders weren't afraid. High-level leaders had a lot of HP, and when they besieged Colorios, they didn't lose much HP, so the damage from the ring of fire wasn't fatal.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the remains of Colorios. The Holy Weapon, Balguera's Punishment, Bone-Piercing Warhammer, was floating quietly in the air.
Every leader had a fervent look in their eyes. Ahon's example was right in front of them. As long as they got the Holy Weapon and gained its approval, they would be promoted to lord, and their strength would have a qualitative breakthrough!
In contrast, Bai Xiaowen wasn't that interested in the Holy Weapon. It wasn't equipment that he got from the lottery, so he couldn't bring it out of the Blacktide Plane. What he was really interested in was the dark gold treasure chest that Colorios dropped after his death. It was floating above Colorios's remains together with the Bone-Piercing Warhammer.
Of course, people in the Spiritual Realm couldn't see the treasure chest.
