With a roar, the Demonic Ape King stomped its foot on the ground.
Boom!
The earth shattered, and a shockwave rippled outwards. With less than 20,000 HP, Ke Le had no choice but to activate Protection Blessing to halve the damage he received. Even so, a damage of nearly -8,000 points still appeared above his head. Meanwhile, players within a 60-yard radius of the Demonic Ape King received varying degrees of damage. The farther one was from the Demonic Ape King, the less damage they received. Even so, the ranged players still received around -6,000 damage …
Following which, the Demonic Ape King sent another slap at Ke Le. Hurriedly, Ke Le blocked the attack with his shield. The Demonic Ape King stumbled three steps back, losing nearly 5,000 HP.
In the blink of an eye, Ke Le had less than 5,000 HP remaining. If not for Protection Blessing, he would've become a corpse by now.
However, after the Demonic Ape King's attack ended, several healing spells fell on Ke Le's head, restoring his HP to over 20,000. He barely crossed the safety line.
At this time, Fire Dance had already circled behind the Demonic Ape King. She then stabbed Thousand Transformations into the ground. Immediately, a large amount of spring water gushed out of the ground, quickly reaching the Demonic Ape King's feet.
"Go!" Fire Dance unsheathed Thousand Transformations and swung the weapon at the Demonic Ape King.
Water Binding!
Suddenly, the flowing water beneath the Demonic Ape King's feet transformed into ropes, binding the Demonic Ape King's body and limbs. No matter how hard the Demonic Ape King struggled, the ropes wrapped around it again and again, making it difficult for the Demonic Ape King to move. The Demonic Ape King couldn't even land a hit on Ke Le.
Even when the Demonic Ape King struck Ke Le, the Demonic Ape King's Strength decreased significantly due to the water binding. The Demonic Ape King only dealt around 70% of its normal damage. It no longer posed a threat to Ke Le.
"That's a Grand Lord we're talking about! Isn't this Skill a little too powerful?!" Everyone was astonished when they saw the Demonic Ape King's weakened combat power.
Just as everyone was in shock, Fire Dance made an even more shocking move.
Fire Dance waved her hand in the air, and a water whip emerged from the ground and lashed at the Demonic Ape King's fist.
Boom!
The water whip shattered on the spot, but the Demonic Ape King's attack came to a halt.
Following which, Fire Dance waved her hand again, and another water whip appeared, striking the Demonic Ape King's back. A damage of over -10,000 appeared above the Demonic Ape King's head, stunning everyone.
"What kind of Skill is this?" Youlan's mouth twitched involuntarily when she saw Fire Dance's actions.
At this moment, Fire Dance simply stood where she was, brandishing her weapons with both hands. However, the flowing water on the ground seemed to be under Fire Dance's complete control. It was as if the flowing water had become Fire Dance's world. Even someone as strong as the Demonic Ape King could not break free from her control.
When it came to shock, no one on the battlefield was more shocked than Fire Dance.
"Good! Everyone, attack the Demonic Ape King with everything you've got!" Shifeng shouted excitedly when he saw Fire Dance's Skill.
In God's Domain, Skills were categorized into Damage Skills, Healing Skills, Control Skills, and Domain Skills. However, Domain Skills were incredibly rare. Normally, only Tier 4 players would come into contact with Domain Skills.
This was also why the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 4 players was so massive.
However, Fire Dance's Domain Skill had a considerable flaw. She couldn't move. Moreover, the Domain Skill's duration wasn't very long. Based on Shi Feng's estimates, the Domain Skill would last at most ten minutes. Hence, he needed to whittle down the Demonic Ape King's HP as quickly as possible.
With Fire Dance's help, the team's battle against the Demonic Ape King became much easier.
The Demonic Ape King's Defense wasn't as high as the King of Corrosion's. Moreover, it was a dark-type Creature. Even without activating their Berserk Skills, Shifeng dealt over -30,000 damage with each attack.
Finally, after Fire Dance used Water Binding, the team took away close to 50% of the Demonic Ape King's HP.
"All DPS, stay back and deal with the other two Twin-headed Demonic Apes. Healers, pay attention to your Mana. Use your Mana Recovery Potions as soon as they're ready. Don't hold back," Shifeng commanded when the Demonic Ape King's HP fell to 50%.
The High Lord ranked Demonic Ape King wasn't easy to deal with. When the Demonic Ape King's HP fell to 50%, it would randomly use Charge on any player on the battlefield. The Demonic Ape King's Charge was much more powerful than a Berserker's Charge. Even an MT with a Lifesaving Skill activated would die instantly.
Not only was the Demonic Ape King's Charge extremely fast, but it could also Stun players and inflict a series of critical hits.
Unless players had an Ice Barrier like an Elementalist's Ice Barrier, which could grant them long-term immunity to all damage, or if they could dodge the Demonic Ape King's Charge immediately, only death awaited them.
However, if they dealt with the two Twin-headed Demonic Apes first and the Demonic Ape King's HP fell to 70% while the Demonic Ape King's HP remained above 70%, the Demonic Ape King would enter a Berserk state, increasing its Attack Power and damage by%.
For the sake of the team's safety, after stabilizing the Demonic Ape King's HP at 50%, they would deal with the other two Twin-headed Demonic Apes. Once the two Twin-headed Demonic Apes were about done, they would return to deal with the Demonic Ape King. Overall, the team's positioning and coordination were extremely demanding. Moreover, this would be a long-term battle. It would be a huge test of the healers' Mana.
As for the Demonic Ape King, Shifeng had four Guardian Knights support Ke Le.
Generally, the Tier 1 Protection Blessing had a Cooldown of around three minutes and 30 seconds. Some higher-leveled Protection Blessings only had a Cooldown of three minutes and 180 seconds. Everyone present was an expert, and their Skills were all high-leveled. Hence, their Protection Blessings had Cooldowns of around three minutes. Including Ke Le, there were a total of five Guardian Knights on the team.
While dealing with the Demonic Ape King, Shifeng had used the Aura of Water's Skill, Life Bloom. The Skill had a duration of 40 seconds and a Cooldown of 1 minute and 30 seconds. In addition to the three healers, Ke Le would not die.
After Life Bloom's Cooldown ended, the four Guardian Knights took turns casting Protection Blessings on Ke Le. Each Protection Blessing lasted for 20 seconds, and three of them lasted for one minute. With Protection Blessings, even without Shifeng's Life Bloom, Ke Le would not die. Following which, Shifeng continued casting Life Bloom. If the Guardian Knights failed to cast a Lifesaving Skill, Shifeng would take the initiative to tank the Demonic Ape King's attacks, relieving Ke Le of the pressure.
Time passed quickly, and the Demonic Ape King was completely pinned down. To Shifeng's team, a Level 45 Great Lord was nothing. Very quickly, the Demonic Ape King's HP fell to around 5%. Each team left a party to stabilize the Two-headed Demonic Ape's HP, while the rest of the team focused on the Demonic Ape King.
When the Demonic Ape King's HP fell below 50%, it finally activated its Charge.
Despite Shifeng's warning, the Demonic Ape King's Movement Speed was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, one of the Assassins targeted by the Demonic Ape King died. Of the three players the Demonic Ape King ran into, two died instantly. The remaining one had only a sliver of HP, and that sliver of HP was a Shield Warrior …
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their morale taking a significant hit.
As the Demonic Ape King's HP fell, the team's members continued to die.
When the Demonic Ape King only had 10% of its HP remaining, the team's numbers had fallen to 64. Fortunately, the remaining players were becoming more familiar with the Demonic Ape King's Charge, and the team's casualties continued to decrease.
"Roar!"
Just as everyone thought that victory was within sight, the Demonic Ape King abruptly struck its chest with both hands, its entire body turning red as it entered a berserk state. The Demonic Ape King then punched Ke Le's shield, and half of its body sank into the ground.
Even with Protection Blessing, Ke Le received nearly -9,000 damage from the Demonic Ape King's attack. When a Healing Beam descended on Ke Le, the Demonic Ape King's attack slammed into the ground, instantly reducing the Demonic Ape King's HP by half.
Just as the Demonic Ape King was about to attack Ke Le, the Demonic Ape King waved its arm at the nearby players, creating a storm. Several players then transformed into streaks of light and disappeared …
The Demonic Ape King's frightening strength stupefied everyone.
"The Boss doesn't have much HP left! Kill it with everything you've got! Hei Zi, use Guardian of Light on Ke Le!" Shifeng hurriedly shouted.
After giving the command, Shifeng activated Heavenly Dragon's Power and Thunder God's Descent, attacking the Demonic Ape King with everything they had. As for Fire Dance, she used Illusory Power.
At this moment, everyone was in a frenzy as they desperately tried to kill the Demonic Ape King.
Magic Scrolls and powerful Skills appeared one after another.
7% …
5% …
3% …
Meanwhile, the number of players on the team continued to dwindle. Very quickly, the team's members fell from over 60 to just over 40. After dealing with the two Twin-headed Demonic Apes, the Demonic Ape King's complete form was utterly despairing. However, the two parties White Night commanded had an extremely accurate grasp of their damage. After the Demonic Ape King transformed, it had less than 10,000 HP remaining.
Even though their attacks could instantly kill Ke Le, who had activated Dragonscale Armor, the Demonic Ape King's HP continued to fall.
"Kill it!" At this moment, Shifeng used Flame Burst. However, the Demonic Ape King's complete form's Defense was simply too high. Even when he and his doppelganger worked together, they only dealt a total of -120,000 damage.
By the time the Demonic Ape King had less than 10,000 HP remaining, less than 20 players remained on the team. The Demonic Ape King's members practically instant-killed every player it encountered. Meanwhile, each of them could, at most, deal around -1,000 damage.
At this moment, it was as if the Demonic Ape King's 10,000 HP was an insurmountable mountain.
When the Demonic Ape King had 50,000 HP remaining, less than ten players remained. Even White Night despaired at this moment.
Seeing that the Demonic Ape King had targeted Shifeng, Shifeng activated the Aura of Earth's Absolute Defense.
With a single punch, the Demonic Ape King sent Shifeng flying over a dozen yards. Even Shifeng shuddered at the Demonic Ape King's frightening Strength. Fortunately, Absolute Defense prevented the Demonic Ape King's Strength from breaking through.
The fact that Shifeng had survived enraged the Demonic Ape King. The Demonic Ape King immediately charged at the Cleric and began to beat him up.
Without activating Absolute Defense, the Demonic Ape King could only last for five seconds, buying a lot of time for the others.
At this time, Shi Feng took out a pitch-black Magic Scroll from his bag. The scroll radiated a frightening amount of Mana, and the instant Shi Feng took it out, the Demonic Ape King was stunned, its eyes widening in shock.
"It seems that I'll have to use it in the end." Shifeng was filled with regret as he glanced at the pitch-black scroll.
He had obtained this item from the Epic Treasure Chest Feng Qianyu had given him. For this Epic Treasure Chest, he had spent a lot of Mana Stones. Meanwhile, the Treasure Chest had only contained two items, and one of them was the pitch-black scroll in his hand.
