"Guild Leader, are we really going to fight this Boss?"
"Is that really a Mythic monster?"
Everyone stared at the trident-wielding Flame Demon King in the sea of flames. The Boss's massive body was over 50 meters tall, and it looked like a mountain blocking their path. Every one of its movements radiated immense power, and a storm formed in the sea of flames.
Just by looking at it, they could tell how frightening the Flame Demon King was!
Even Ke Le, who had been brimming with confidence, felt his scalp tingle when he saw the Flame Demon King.
Even a 1,000-man team of Level 80 experts would most likely die against such a Boss. After all, the Flame Demon King before them was on a completely different level from the Mythic monsters they had encountered before.
Could it be that the Flame Demon King has grown stronger because I discovered new information about the Flame Demon's Valley? Shifeng fell into deep thought as he watched the Flame Demon King disappear into the sea of flames. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, the Flame Demon's Valley was only a Level 70-plus map, not a Level 100-plus map. It shouldn't have a monster of the Ancient Fiend standard.
A Mythic ranked Archaic Species of the same level would be a nightmare for players. Players of the same level simply couldn't defeat such a monster. They'd have to rely on powerful external forces to defeat such a monster.
Meanwhile, Elemental Lifeforms that had surpassed the Archaic Species standard and awakened their Bloodline, transforming into Ancient Fiends.
Although Ancient Fiends' Life Ratings couldn't compare to Dragons', they could rival Ferocious Beasts. They were still frightening existences. Not even an expert team of 20 levels higher would be a match for an Ancient Fiend, much less an expert team of the same level.
Including the Flame Demon King's unique abilities, not even a Level 100, Tier 3 team could defeat the Flame Demon King.
"We have no choice but to change our plans," Shifeng said as he looked at everyone. "I need you to buy enough time to face this Boss. Originally, I wanted everyone to escape unscathed, but it seems that won't be possible now. Our only option is to buy as much time as possible and lure the Flame Demon King away from the sea of flames. However, all of you will have to die. Violet, you don't need to heal. Find a spot far away from the Boss. Once the battle is over, you'll resurrect the others."
The only thing they could do now was lure the Flame Demon King away. If they tried to stall for time, they'd definitely die. However, with Violet Cloud, who had learned the Resurrection Skill he had given her, the death penalty for resurrecting them significantly.
"I understand." Violet Cloud nodded.
They were all members of the Guild's main force. The weapons, equipment, and levels they currently possessed were all granted to them by the Guild. It was normal for them to die while carrying out Guild Quests. Not to mention, Violet Cloud could resurrect them.
Soon, everyone began to move under the Shifeng's orders.
Ke Le would attract the Flame Demon King's attention and lure it to the designated location. Once Ke Le was killed, Turtledove and Ye Wumian would take over. Once all three MTs were dead, the rest of the team would scatter and flee, giving the Flame Demon King as much time as possible.
"Let's move out!" The Shifeng ordered as soon as they were near the entrance of the mountain range.
After receiving the order, Ke Le immediately rushed towards the entrance of the mountain pass. She was getting closer and closer to the sea of fire. When she arrived at the entrance of the sea of fire, she heard a deafening roar coming from the sea of fire.
"Puny human! How dare you enter the territory of the Flame Demon King, Monacolan! I will show you just how frightening the wrath of fire is! "
As the Flame Demon King's voice faded, it emerged from the sea of fire, summoning a storm of flames.
The powerful flames surged towards Cola like a tidal wave. There was no way for him to dodge.
Not daring to be careless, Ke Le immediately activated Power of Darkness, his Attributes skyrocketing as he activated Titan Guard.
Boom!
When the flames swept past, Ke Le was forced to retreat by three steps, a damage of over -20,000 appearing above his head.
"So strong! Just the flame waves caused by their actions are already so destructive! " Shiuse Qiangwei, who stood at a distance, was shocked when he saw Ke Le lose one-eighth of his HP after activating his Berserk Skill.
After activating his Berserk Skill, Ke Le should be able to tank a Level 70 Mythic monster head-on, yet the Flame Demon King's wave of flames had shaved away so much of his HP. In other words, the Flame Demon King's wave of flames was just as powerful as a Level 70-plus Mythic monster.
Everyone else paled when they saw this scene.
Even after activating his Berserk Skill, Ke Le had lost so much of his HP in one move. If they were in his shoes, they would only need one or two hits to survive.
In front of the Fire Demon King, they really felt like they were ants.
While everyone was shocked by the Flame Demon King's frightening Strength, the Flame Demon King arrived before Ke Le and swung its trident at the Swordsman. The Flame Demon King was so fast that it was a blur.
Fortunately, Ke Le reacted quickly and blocked the attack with Titan Guard.
However, in the next moment, Ke Le felt as if his hands were no longer his own. He lost all feeling in them. Moreover, his body flew back like a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, he flew over 30 yards before slamming into a boulder. The boulder shattered on the spot, and Ke Le felt as if his entire body had been turned upside down.
Instantly, he lost over 80,000 HP, which was half of Ke Le's HP …
Everyone was stunned as they stared at the Flame Demon King in disbelief. With just one attack, the Flame Demon King had reduced Ke Le to such a sorry state. The difference in Strength was simply despairing.
"Heal him quickly!" the Shifeng shouted through the team chat.
The Shifeng did not find this situation strange. After all, the Flame Demon King was an Ancient Fiend. If not for Ke Le's Titan Guard, he would've most likely died instantly.
Only then did the team's Tier 2 healers snap out of their daze and restore Ke Le's HP to 70%. However, before they realized it, the Flame Demon King had appeared before Ke Le. White flames erupted from the Flame Demon King's trident as it stabbed at Ke Le.
Shocked, Ke Le hurriedly activated Protection Blessing, the Lifesaving Skill of a Guardian Knight.
After reaching Tier 2, Protection Blessing reduced damage by 60%. However, when the trident collided with the Titan Guard, the ground beneath Ke Le's feet shattered, forming a crater. Ke Le's HP also fell by over 60,000, and his HP instantly fell to the red level.
Only after the Flame Demon King's next attack did the healers manage to restore Ke Le's HP to 50%.
Immediately, Ke Le activated Titan's Heart, activating three layers of Defensive Energy Shields that could absorb ten times the damage of his maximum HP. Only then did he survive the attack. He then used the shield's power to distance himself from the sea of flames.
Seeing Ke Le leave, the Shifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had upgraded the Titan Guard to Fragmented Legendary rank before coming here. Otherwise, even Turtledove and Ye Wumian would've died before they could lure the Flame Demon King away.
Following which, the Shifeng equipped the Flame Demon's Crown and activated Gale Domain. He then charged into the sea of flames that could even melt Refined Iron.
As expected of the Flame Demon's Crown. Its effects are amazing. Shifeng only felt a little hot as he flew through the sea of flames. He did not feel any stinging pain.
Moreover, the Flame Demon's Crown increased his Fire Resistance by 200 points. Including his original Fire Resistance, his Fire Resistance exceeded 400 points. As he moved through the sea of flames, he only lost around 100 HP per second. To him, the Flame Demon's Crown was nothing.
After flying for over 40 seconds, Ke Le's team status suddenly turned gray. It was obvious that the Flame Demon King had killed them.
So soon? Shifeng's expression darkened as he looked at the massive stone gate, which was still over 200 yards away.
Ke Le was the tankiest player on the team. Originally, Shi Feng had thought that Ke Le alone would buy him some time to activate the World Gate. However, both the World Gate and the Flame Demon King had exceeded his expectations.
By the time Shifeng reached the World Gate and used the Philosopher's Hand to activate the gate, Turtledove had already fallen. Only Ye Wumian remained as the team's only MT.
I need to hurry! Shifeng hurriedly used the Philosopher's Hand's power to repair the World Gate's damaged magic array.
As Shifeng began to repair the magic array, a furious roar came from outside the mountain range.
"Despicable intruders! You dare try to activate the World Gate?!"
After the roar, a towering pillar of fire rose into the sky like a mountain of flames. Following which, everyone in the team status window turned dark gray …
Shifeng's expression tensed. He hurriedly increased his speed.
"Hurry!"
"Faster!"
While Shifeng was repairing the World Gate's magic array, he could already feel the space around him boiling. This meant that he was already within the Flame Demon King's control. The Flame Demon King's Movement Speed had exceeded his expectations.
"Despicable humans! Turn into nothingness along with your sins!"
The Flame Demon King glared at Shifeng. It then raised its trident and hurled it at Shifeng.
The trident transformed into a meteor as it flew toward Shifeng.
However, Shifeng reacted quickly. He instantly activated the Aura of Earth's Absolute Domain and blocked the trident.
