Chapter 128 Chapter 127-Fusion, Fire Elemental Titan（2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!）
Blue Sea's special class, the "Sea Mage," has an MP limit and recovery speed far beyond that of a regular mage.
Coupled with an extra bonus to his spirit power, he is evidently more composed when casting spells.
Even after releasing so many magical skills in one breath, Blue Sea still remained calm and composed.
His face didn't even change color, clearly indicating that this was far from his limit.
His breezy demeanor also stirred admiration in those around him.
It's no wonder he's the guild leader of the Blue Sea Guild, one of the most formidable players in the gaming world.
Look at his performance.
Especially Valus, who was meditating on the side, his eyes glowing with fervor.
This is the realm of magic he has always been pursuing!
To control the battlefield as easily as flipping a hand, releasing skills without a trace of panic...
The way people look at Blue Sea is somewhat different from John.
The power John demonstrated made them feel like they were gazing up at a lofty mountain, far beyond their understanding, leaving no room for any desire to catch up or surpass him.
But Blue Sea and Adam were different.
The strength they demonstrated, although also very strong, at least didn't result in an incomprehensible situation for everyone.
As long as they were lucky and hardworking enough, there was still a chance to reach their level.
Back on the battlefield.
After enduring several of Blue Sea's powerful skill attacks in a row, the Fire Elemental Sprites in the distance were noticeably flagging.
The numerical values indicating their health loss floated above their heads from time to time.
Although they had not yet reached the execution line.
At least, they had burned through a third of their HP.
It's just that water magic is naturally a counter to these fire creatures.
Blue Sea's magical onslaught finally ceased, but the assault on these Fire Elemental Sprites was far from over.
Immediately following Blue Sea's spells came the attack magic chanted by the Earth Mage in the team.
[Starfall (Unique Talent)...]
Just like before in the Twisted Grove, the Earth Mage didn't hold back and used his ace right away.
From the sky, enormous meteors nearly half a meter in diameter dropped out of nowhere, smashing ruthlessly into the Fire Elemental Sprites.
The dust cloud that resulted from the impact blotted out the sun and rose into the air, instantly blurring everyone's vision.
Once the dust settled, several large craters had formed on the ground.
Fresh, red HP loss values floated above the Fire Elemental Sprites. "-3500!!"
The damage was quite substantial.
And with the end of the meteor attack, the team's archers released their charged shots.
Glittering energy arrows cut through the sky, with an unstoppable momentum, hurtling towards the Fire Elemental Sprites that had just suffered heavy damage.
The arrows accurately pierced through their bodies, sparks flying everywhere.
Even though the archers provided physical long-range output, facing these elemental beings, their power was inevitably reduced.
But the high frequency of their attacks made up for it.
A series of arrows were launched without pause, one after another, causing the Fire Elemental Sprites to sway continuously, their HP visibly dropping below the halfway mark.
Finally, the Fire Elemental Sprites couldn't bear it any longer.
They howled to the sky, moving closer to each other, and then, surprisingly, they began to merge together.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
What exactly are these Fire Elemental Sprites?
Why can they keep merging?
"Be careful. Fire Elemental Sprites don't have a physical body. Just like two flames can merge into one, they can do the same," John's reminder echoed in everyone's ears.
Adam's face instantly turned grim.
He roared, "Everyone, don't hold back. Throw all your skills at them. We must stop these creatures from merging."
Upon hearing Adam's command, no one hesitated.
They gave their all, unleashing all the long-range attacks at their disposal.
Even players of the Berserker class hurled their axes at the Fire Elemental Sprites.
[Spinning Axe Throw...]
This is the only long-range attack skill mastered by the Berserker class.
For a moment, the battlefield was lit up with flashes of light, as splendid as fireworks blooming.
Unfortunately, the elemental fusion process was irreversible.
Even though everyone threw all their long-range attacks, it only slightly impeded the fusion process of the Fire Elemental Sprites.
They could not completely prevent it.
They could only watch helplessly as those humanoid flames intertwined and merged into one, eventually transforming into a flame giant over ten meters high.
The Flame Giant roared skyward, its aura significantly enhanced, far surpassing its previous scattered state.
Even the attributes of this giant had undergone a massive change:
[Fire Elemental Titan (Elite Boss): A titan formed by the fusion of Fire Elemental Sprites, possessing power that can devastate the world...]
[Level: 180]
[Attributes: ...]
Everyone's faces turned grim.
After the fusion, the creature's level had risen a full level 60, even evolving directly into a boss.
The various data in its attributes were greatly improved.
Both its attack and defense power had reached a staggering level.
How were they supposed to fight this?
The archer in the team attempted once again to fire a series of energy arrows at the Fire Elemental Titan.
Only to see a string of pitiful numbers float above the Flame Giant's head.
"-1, -1, -1..."
As expected, they couldn't even break its defense.
The Fire Elemental Titan roared and charged towards the defense barrier with large strides.
With each step it took, the ground trembled.
The team members' faces were pale, and for a moment, they were at a loss for what to do.
"Sigh..."
Suddenly, a sigh echoed across the battlefield.
John gently patted Emma's head and then disappeared.
The next second, he appeared directly in front of everyone.
"Galewind, bro, we should still be able to..."
Adam hadn't finished speaking when John cut him off with a wave of his hand.
"No need to act tough. Everyone's not in good shape right now. Let me handle this guy," John spoke calmly, looking up at the charging Flame Giant.
Adam clenched his teeth, clearly unwilling.
But when he turned around, he found that things were exactly as John had said.
Every member of the team was exhausted.
This battle had not given any of them a chance to catch their breath from beginning to end.
The Heavy Infantry and Paladins were gritting their teeth and struggling to maintain the defense barrier.
But could the current thickness of their defense barrier really withstand an attack from this flame giant?
Adam didn't even believe it himself.
At the crucial moment, reason overcame his inner pride.
With a sense of defeat, Adam laid down his silvery greatsword.
He knew that his teammates had done their best.
There was indeed no need to stubbornly hang on.
With a bitter smile, Adam said, "True, we're not up to dealing with this kind of monster at our current level. We'll have to count on you, Galewind."
John replied with a slight smile, in an understated manner, "It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning."
He stood there with his hands behind his back, his tattered cloak fluttering in the wind.
Despite the enormous flame giant getting closer and closer, he didn't flinch an inch.
It was as if what was rushing towards him wasn't a Level 180 boss but a cute little puppy.
This undaunted demeanor left everyone awestruck.
The Flame Giant got closer and closer until it was right in front of John.
John looked up, inspecting the fused Fire Elemental Titan with interest.
His gaze held nothing but curiosity.
The Fire Elemental Titan lowered its head, looking at the tiny human before it.
With its limited intelligence, it couldn't understand what this human was doing.
Why, when facing it, was he neither fleeing nor attacking?
Perhaps sensing the contempt in John's eyes, the Fire Elemental Titan suddenly became angry.
It raised its enormous fist and roared, smashing down at John.
But John didn't dodge or avoid.
Instead, he too raised a fist. Directly confronting it.
The collision between the large and small fists, at least in terms of size, looked comical.
Yet, against all odds, this disproportionate collision ended with the Fire Elemental Titan getting punched and sent flying through the air.
Its huge body traced a perfect arc in the sky before crashing harshly onto the ground in the distance.
John withdrew his fist, a faint glow flashing and fading on his hand.
Everyone craned their necks, curious about the state of the sent-flying Fire Elemental Titan.
The Fire Elemental Titan struggled on the ground several times but was unable to stand up. Above its head, a bright red number slowly floated up.
"-99999!"
The next second, the Fire Elemental Titan fell silent for good.
It disintegrated into basic fire elements and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Only a few pieces of glowing equipment and items remained in place.
For a moment, the battlefield was deathly silent.
Everyone was swallowing hard, their eyes wide with disbelief plastered on their faces.
"Holy moly...he one-shotted it?" After a moment, someone finally murmured in awe, "How many years of power must have gone into that punch to reach this level?"
"I think at least 20 years..."
"Shut it, now's not the time for that kind of old joke..."
John turned and walked towards them, his expression as calm as ever.
As if what he had just killed with a single punch was not a Level 180 boss, but an insignificant ant.
