Zhang Yang and the rest waited outside the dungeon after clearing the front and middle palace dungeons.
After around five minutes, Hundred Bullets High School's team was the second to come out, followed by Fatty Han's team, and finally Iron Bucket Rivers Fourth Team. In small dungeons, the tank's performance directly determined the efficiency of clearing. Even if Iron Bucket Rivers Third Team had a super healer like Snow, it was useless!
"Does everyone understand the boss's skills?" Zhang Yang asked everyone, then said, "Alright, everyone hand in the quest. Let's enter the main palace to fight Mazawi!"
"Get the equipment set!"
"Get the first clear!"
Everyone's morale was high as they rushed into the main palace dungeon.
"Ding! You have entered Mazawi's lair: Main Palace (Death Mode)! "
The terrain was still the palace. Zhang Yang and the rest were now standing on a huge square. In front of them was the palace's discussion hall, where Mazawi was!
This was a dungeon without any monsters. Entering the discussion hall would trigger the boss battle.
Zhang Yang said, "Let me explain the strategy first. The boss is divided into five stages —"
"In the first stage, he transforms into a Water Spirit and has all the skills of a Water Spirit boss! In this stage, interrupting the boss's spellcasting is the key. Hundred Bullets, Meteoric Tears, Big Bell, the three of you will be in the first round. Fatty, Iron Guts, Burning Snow, the three of you will be in the second round. Also, pay attention to your feet and dodge the Frost Aura! "
"Second stage —"
Zhang Yang suddenly paused and smiled as he shook his head. "Let's not worry about the second stage first. Let's get familiar with the first stage first!"
"Alright, everyone enter the hall!"
The team entered the hall, and the final boss, Mazawi, appeared in front of everyone.
He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties. He wore a magician's robe and held a staff in his left hand. He was tall and slender, and he had the aura of a learned scholar. From his appearance, he did not look like a King of Killers who would wipe out the entire Snow Spirit City!
Fallen Mazawi (Silver-ranked Leader)
Level: 25
Health Points: 1,000,000
"Team one, north, second, east, third, south, west. Melee players, fight behind the boss. Let's begin!" Zhang Yang carried his Silver Scale Sword and ran towards Mazawi.
"Reckless fool, how dare you disturb my rest! Hmph, I only need the power of water to kill all of you idiots! "Mazawi snorted coldly and ran towards the crowd.
After entering Charge's range, Zhang Yang immediately used Charge to collide with the enemy. At the same time, he used a basic attack and Taunt.
− 332
"Immune!"
Through these two attacks, Zhang Yang also understood the two attributes of the boss. It was immune to Taunt and had around 100 Armor.
Mazawi's aggro was immediately focused on Zhang Yang. He waved his hands and knocked his staff at Zhang Yang.
As a spell-type boss, Mazavi's attack speed was not fast. If Zhang Yang wanted to dodge, he could easily do so. However, he did not do so. Instead, he took the attack head-on. His goal was to see how much damage the boss could deal in melee combat and understand the boss's attributes.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!
"-448!"
A damage number immediately floated above Zhang Yang's head. As a spell-type boss, to be able to deal such high damage was already very impressive.
After taking such a hit, Zhang Yang's Rage Bar instantly shot up by more than 30 points.
"Broken Armor!"
− 141 Armor Shattering Damage.
"-714!" It was a clean sweep.
Due to the boss' high Armor, Zhang Yang prioritized using Broken Armor to increase the team's damage output.
The others immediately started dealing damage as well and attacked the boss in a frenzy.
"Weak mortal, I'm going to freeze your soul!" Mazawi gave up on his physical attacks and started chanting a spell.
Pa!
Three seconds later, Mazawi cast an Ice Arrow and blasted it on Zhang Yang's body.
"-1200!"
"Why is it so much stronger than the Water Spirits in a five-man dungeon?" She had been fighting the Water Spirits and Fire Spirits every day for the past few days. As a healer, Snow knew better than Zhang Yang how much Health Points the boss would lose with every hit.
"Yeah, it's a 20-man dungeon. It's definitely harder than a five-man dungeon. Let's just treat it as an enhanced version of Death Mode!" Zhang Yang said casually.
Fortunately, although the boss was strong, there were three more healers in the team. The pressure on Snow's healing was much lighter.
99%, 98%, 97%. Mazawi's Health Points were too high. Even with 20 people, the speed at which his Health Points decreased was extremely slow.
"Lowly living beings, sleep in the endless cold forever!" Mazawi waved his hands and instantly set up eight faintly discernible Ice Rings in the hall, slowly materializing.
"Ding! Mazawi has cast Ring of Frost! "
"Look at your feet. If there are any Ice Rings, leave immediately!" Zhang Yang did not have the ability to look at the positions of the 20 people, so he could only remind them.
Three seconds later, eight Ice Rings formed at the same time.
"-2500!"
"-2500!"
"Ding! Player Four, Ah Mao, is dead! "
"Ding! Player Golden Bell is dead! "
F * ck, two people died in one go!
Zhang Yang suppressed his anger and asked, "You two died. What happened? Didn't I tell you to pay attention to the ground?"
"I was too engrossed in the battle and forgot!"
"Me too!"
Zhang Yang shook his head. However, he could not be too harsh on them now, lest the team's morale fell. He could only say, "Be careful next time. If you make such a low-level mistake again, your guild points will be deducted!"
"Okay!" The two of them accepted it humbly. As for whether they really remembered it or just casually said it, they could only wait and see.
This Golden Bell was also assigned to interrupt the boss's skills. Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Proud Monk, you're now in the interrupting group with Hundred Bullets and the rest!"
"Okay!" Proud Monk and Zhang Yang were old acquaintances, and he respected Zhang Yang a long time ago. Naturally, he would listen to whatever he said.
Currently, there were only three professions that had interrupting skills: Magicians, Hunters, and Bandits. However, Hunters needed Concentration to interrupt, and Rogues needed Energy. Both of them had a maximum of 100 points, and they could only recover 10 points per second. The skills "Oscillating Shot" and "Kick" required 25 Concentration and Energy respectively.
In other words, if these two professions wanted to interrupt, they had to reserve Concentration and Energy. This would undoubtedly disrupt the output cycle.
On the other hand, the Mage's interruption skill, Counter, only required mana. With mana and the skill not on cooldown, as long as you interrupted the spell that was currently being chanted, you could immediately perform Counter. It was the most suitable candidate to interrupt.
There were four Magicians in the team. Zhang Yang split them into two groups and assigned them to Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School and Fatty Han. They would cooperate with them to interrupt. Now that a Magician had died, Zhang Yang could only assign Proud Monk to replace them.
As for why they needed three people to interrupt together?
First, to prevent a 'miss' situation. Second, Mazawi's channeling was faster than the Water Spirit Boss. One person might not be able to react in time to interrupt!
The battle continued. During this time, Mazawi released Ring of Frost twice. Zhang Yang yelled at the top of his lungs, so no one got hit.
"A bunch of trash, let the blizzard drown you!" Mazawi raised his staff with both hands and started chanting.
Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School quickly used Silent Shot and shouted at the same time, "Group One, interrupt!"
However, out of the other two who were assigned to interrupt them, only Old Monk threw out a Silent Shot in a tsundere manner, while the Sorcerer was still conjuring fireballs!
Fortunately, the two Silencing Shots did not miss. Mazawi's Blizzard instantly died in his stomach!
Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School was furious. "Meteoric Tear, where's your interrupt?"
The Magician, Meteoric Tear, said, "I wanted to interrupt after chanting a spell, but you guys already interrupted, so I didn't use it again!"
"Don't ever make such a mistake again. If you're too greedy, the whole team might be wiped out! As a member of the team, you have to think for the whole team, remember? "Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School said with dignity.
Meteoric Tear nodded, looking a little depressed.
"Alright, cheer up. We still have to interrupt many more times!" Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School was done being the bad guy and started playing the good guy again.
Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell that Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School usually didn't talk much. He didn't expect him to be so imposing when he exploded. If he trained a little, he might become a qualified team commander!
After this small twist, the two interrupt teams were very serious. Everyone performed well and did not let Mazawi use the blizzard.
90% … 85% … 80%!
Although Zhang Yang kept reminding them, three more people fell to the Ring of Frost. One of them was even a Healer. The number of people lost was five!
Mazawi roared angrily. "I've underestimated you. Come, God of Earth Spirits, merge with me and crush these mortals who don't know their place!"
The Boss had entered the second stage!
"Pa!"
Mazawi immediately turned into a melee monster. With a wave of his staff, a spinning star representing stun appeared on top of Zhang Yang's head. "Smash" was activated! Mazawi's attack frequency instantly increased, and he hit Zhang Yang wildly.
"-704!"
"+ 402!" Obedient Cher's powerful healing skill.
"+ 80!" Recovery skill that landed face first.
"-735!"
"-747!"
"+ 240!" Strong healing skill that landed face first.
"+ 207!" Vanilla Ice Cream's light skill.
"+ 131!" Obedient Cher's recovery skill.
"-711!"
Within two seconds, Mazawi consecutively attacked four times, dealing almost 3,000 damage! Luckily, the three Healers were also healing crazily during this period. They all happened to perform instant healing, and they managed to resolve the danger this time!
Zhang Yang woke up from his stun and quickly opened "Block" to avoid the Boss's next attack, giving the Healers time to cast their spells.
"Damage dealers just need to hide from the stone spikes on the ground. Obedient Cher, same rules. After the Boss is stunned, I'll use Holy Prayer!" Zhang Yang said loudly. "In the second stage, the Boss is basically a dummy. There's no difficulty!"
