Upon hearing Shi Feng's command, Solitary Nine looked at the towering King of Trees and raised his Titan Guard before charging at the Boss.
"Is it really okay to have him pull the Boss alone?" Feng Qianyu asked worriedly as he watched Solitary Nine approach the King of Trees. "Have more people pull the Boss. That way, we can share some of the damage."
Compared to the King of Trees, Solitary Nine was practically an ant, not to mention the difference in Basic Attributes. Even a Tier 3 summoned creature would suffer heavy injuries and lose a significant amount of Basic Attributes in a single hit, much less current peak MTs.
"No need. Nine alone is enough," Shifeng said, chuckling.
Although the King of Trees had undergone some changes, its basic Skills and attack patterns hadn't changed. For example, a Boss like the King of Trees would use the Tier 3 Skill, Thorns Strike, on the first target it locked onto.
Even if this move couldn't kill a Tier 3 summoned creature, it could still heavily injure it, much less a player. Tier 3 summoned creatures were precious combat power. Naturally, players couldn't afford to risk their lives. Normally, players would send one person to their deaths to block the Thorns Strike, while the MT tanked the Thorns Strike.
However, since Solitary Nine had the Epic ranked Titan Guard, he didn't need to sacrifice anyone.
As soon as Solitary Nine entered the 200-yard radius of the King of Trees, the Boss's twelve main vines transformed into sharp spears and stabbed at Solitary Nine. The spears pierced through the air with such speed that they looked like twelve streaks of green light.
Thorns Strike!
"So fast!" Solitary Nine was surprised. Fortunately, Shifeng had warned him to activate Titan's Will as soon as he entered the King of Trees' range.
As soon as Titan's Will activated, golden, divine runes appeared on Solitary Nine's body, and his eyes turned dark-gold. Not only did the Boss's mental pressure dissipate instantly, but Titan's Will's Skills had also received a significant boost after reaching Epic rank. Now, Titan's Will reduced the damage he received by 90%, increased his Attack Speed by 100%, and increased his Movement Speed by 30%. His starting Movement Speed was now 80% of his maximum for 20 seconds.
As the twelve main vines descended, Solitary Nine activated Titan Guard, transforming into a series of afterimages. Although Titan Guard's shield wasn't particularly large, it formed a solid wall around Solitary Nine, blocking all of the main vines' attacks.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
A series of explosions rang out, and every one of them made Solitary Nine's scalps tingle.
"He's not dead? What?! "
"He actually survived the attack?"
When the smoke dissipated, they saw Solitary Nine remained standing. Despite being hit, he still had nearly 10% of his HP remaining.
What's the Thorns Will's Attack?! Solitary Nine could not help but gasp when he saw that he had less than 6,000 HP remaining. "Sure enough, Mythic monsters really are existences that cannot be provoked."
Despite the 90% damage reduction, Solitary Nine had still lost over 50,000 HP after blocking all of the attacks with his shield …
Without Titan's Will, even if he activated a Lifesaving Skill, he would've most likely died instantly.
Meanwhile, after the Thorns Strike ended, the King of Trees' main vines whipped at Solitary Nine once more, so fast that only a blur remained.
"Crap! Heal him quickly! "Feng Qianyu shouted hurriedly.
However, the healing was still a tad too slow. By the time the vines reached Solitary Nine's side, however, Solitary Nine reacted quickly thanks to Titan's Will's buff. He immediately shifted his shield to the side, appearing beside Solitary Nine as if he had teleported.
Peng!
A crisp sound echoed throughout the battlefield. Solitary Nine stumbled three steps backward before he could stabilize himself, his HP decreasing once more.
-3208！
"He's still alive?"
Everyone's jaws dropped as they stared at Solitary Nine, who was still alive.
They were already impressed that Solitary Nine had survived a Mythic Boss's ultimate move, but he had only received around -3,000 damage despite using his shield. His Defense was simply frightening.
As the main vines descended, the healers in the rear lines began to cast healing spells on Solitary Nine, instantly restoring his HP to 50%. He was now far away from danger.
"Good! Everyone, move out! "the Shifeng commanded.
Immediately, six Tier 3 summoned creatures charged at the King of Trees. At the same time, the Assassins in Stealth dashed toward the King of Trees. When they were less than 40 yards away, they tossed Flame Potions at the Boss.
The instant the Fire Potions shattered on the King of Trees' body, they burst into flames. Crimson flames quickly spread across the King of Trees' body. As the potions were consumed one after another, the crimson flames spread across the King of Trees' body, transforming it into a blazing tree.
"Roar!"
The King of Trees roared and screamed in pain as its Basic Attributes began to fall. Solitary Nine, who had been on the defensive all this time, had a much easier time dealing with the King of Trees. His HP dropped from -3,000 to -2,000. Now, he could easily block all 12 main vines' attacks.
Meanwhile, the six Tier 3 summoned creatures and five MTs each held one of the King of Trees' main vines, greatly reducing the pressure on Solitary Nine.
However, due to the King of Trees' anger, its Attack Speed suddenly increased. Following which, hundreds of vines attacked its surroundings, each strike containing 35% of its Strength. Suppressing a Great Lord of the same level was child's play for these vines.
In the blink of an eye, the Tier 3 summoned creatures and MTs were in dire straits.
Even if the King of Trees' main vines only struck the MTs' shields, each of them dealing over -8,000 damage. Now, every MTs had to face at least three or four main vines. Including the main vines' damage, even their Lifesaving Skills were no match for the King of Trees' main vines.
At this moment, everyone finally understood how frightening the King of Trees was.
"As expected of a Mythic monster. Relying on the Flame Potions alone isn't enough." Shifeng sighed helplessly. He then placed 5,000 Magic Crystals into the Ring of Gospel and activated World Projection.
As soon as World Projection appeared, the King of Trees' Basic Attributes fell once more. Only then did the MTs breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, attack with everything you've got!"
Shifeng commanded. At the same time, he activated Phantom Kill and charged at the King of Trees.
Due to the Flame Potion's effects, the King of Trees' main body's Defense had been weakened. Arrows and Spells bombarded the Boss's body, each dealing over -3,000 damage. Among them, fire-type Skills and Spells were the most effective, dealing over -5,000 damage.
Among them, Zhao Yueru was the most powerful. She wielded Frostflame's Wrath and bombarded the King of Trees with one attack after another, dealing over -30,000 damage.
"Just how high is her magic damage?" Blue Phoenix was at a loss for words as she stared at Zhao Yueru.
She was also an Elementalist. Moreover, she was already Level 48. She also wore an Epic staff, a set of Epic robes, and a pair of Epic gloves. When she cast a Tier 1 fire-type Spell, she only dealt around -12,000 damage. Compared to Zhao Yueru, her damage was more than double.
As the team continued to deal damage, the King of Trees' HP began to fall, bit by bit.
90% … 70% … 50% …
However, as the King of Trees' HP continued to decrease, the number of vines also increased. Moreover, these vines didn't just attack the MTs at the frontline. They would also emerge from the ground to attack the healers and ranged DPS players.
Although the vines only had 35% of the King of Trees' Strength, against cloth-armor classes with low HP and Defense, they could kill them instantly. As a result, the team continued to lose members.
By the time the King of Trees' HP fell to 20%, the team's number had decreased from 1,000 to 700.
"Damned intruders! Turn all of you into my nutrients!" the King of Trees bellowed furiously.
Suddenly, the twelve main vines had grown to eighteen. Every vine could easily deal close to -20,000 damage to the MTs who had activated their Berserk Skills. The additional six vines instantly killed six MTs. The MTs did not even have time to rescue their fallen comrades.
Seeing the King of Trees annihilate a party's MTs, the aggro on the King of Trees became chaotic.
"Attack with everything you've got! Buy as much time as possible! "Shifeng shouted." Use all your Skills! "
Now that the King of Trees had annihilated a party's MTs and grown to 18 main vines, it was impossible to stop the King of Trees.
Solitary Nine, Dark Madness, and Lifeless Thorn no longer dared to hold back as they activated their Berserk Skills. At the same time, Solitary Nine activated Titan's Heart, forming a Life Shield that could absorb damage up to ten times his maximum HP.
The three of them then used Triple Frostmoon.
Suddenly, three streaks of light flashed, and the King of Trees cried out in pain. In the blink of an eye, it lost over 2,000,000 HP, a large chunk falling from its HP bar.
Shifeng didn't hold back either, activating Heavenly Dragon's Power and using one Skill after another.
Feng Qianyu also took out one Tier 3 Magic Scroll after another and bombarded the King of Trees.
As Shifeng and the others frantically attacked, the King of Trees grew increasingly violent, rapidly reducing the team's numbers. Although Shifeng wanted to summon a Personal Guard, he couldn't do so in the Ancient Ruin. He had no choice but to summon a Tier 3 Demon.
By the time the King of Trees' HP fell to 2%, less than 300 of the team's members remained. Among them, 70% of the healers had died, and only a dozen or so MTs remained.
"Fight! Everyone, retreat! " Gritting his teeth, Shifeng took a Tier 4 large-scale destruction Scroll from his bag and unfurled it. "Die!"
As soon as he unfurled the Magic Scroll, space around him seemed to freeze. The Mana around the scroll rapidly gathered, and a golden magic array formed beneath the King of Trees' feet.
Boom!
A golden pillar of light rose into the sky, piercing through the magic barrier in the sky.
