"Go!"

Taking advantage of the narrowness of the long corridor, Qin Ruo's trio combined powerful attacks to wipe out every specter minion of the three Liches in less than five minutes within the huge hall. With a soft cry from Majestic Hero, all three of them spread their wings together, charging toward the three Liches that remained unmoved that their minions were slaughtered, stubbornly staying at the direction of the exit toward the surface.

When the three moved within a hundred meters of their target, the three Liches were finally enraged that the three individuals before them ignored their imposing provocations…

Two streaks of cold radiances flashed from within the cloak of the Lich positioned at the center, just as its body darted away rapidly from the two other Liches that had been floating at its flanks, both its arms lifted in the air! On its palm, two pieces of spherical crystal bodies that had been bound to its hand suddenly burst with radiance, the terrible elemental fluctuation briskly surging out of the Lich's hand.

"Lowly insect! Die!"

A thin voice echoed from the maw of the lich, reverberating in the vastness of the hall—especially the last word. It was as if millions of sounds exploded at once, stabbing directly in the trio's eardrums.

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

The unnatural voice rang directly into their minds, and the trio paused all at once in the air. Qin Ruo's thoughts were left in a mess—he felt himself lose control of the few Frostramparts he had been pushing forward with in a split second, his spirit throbbing to the point that it was withdrawing… the condensed spell hence interrupted by force instantly.

Oh no!

Sonic Wave!!!

A chill rose in Qin Ruo's heart. He at once recalled being ambushed by AoE Sonic Waves, and it was the exact same situation as it was here. Defensive barriers had no ability to withstand the attacks at all while the endless Sonic Waves diminished his control over the Frostramparts, severing Intelligence and curtailing the ability to charge magic—if Xiaoxiao had not been there at the time, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

But this time, things were much more serious. The Lich's Sonic Waves were clearly more terrible than the collectively resonating ones from the Killer Bee swarms, and its area of effect was much further: the trio, fifty meters away, was affected too.

"Careful!" Qin Ruo hastily warned at the top of his lungs. "Barriers have no effect on Sonic Waves!"

Even as he spoke, Majestic Hero's "Pigasus" leaped out of the barrier with a swish, completely unaffected by the Sonic Waves as it met the Lich, which had now flown as close as fifty meters, head-on.

His senses restored, at the moment that the Pigasus darted away, Qin Ruo caught a grimness that was without precedent…

Liches were much more horrifying than imagined!

He had no confidence to even withstand those Sonic Waves…

In the instant as interrupted magic was condensing again to direct block the assault of the Lich, Qin Ruo truly had no confidence to even delay a single one to secure an opening for Black God to unlock the sealed room and claim the Golden Key.

But now, the arrow had already left the bow!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

An instant before the Lich reached thirty meters, Pigasus's rump swung amusingly—three arrow tips that embodied sacred power broke through the air, charging directly into the face of the Lich.

Meanwhile, Majestic Hero had quickly taken out a magic scroll.

"Rolling Thunder!"

He cried out at the instant the barrier around the Lich's body was broken by the three streaks of Light-type spell!

Boom!!!

As if answering Majestic Hero's call, a bolt out of nowhere that jolts the heart exploded in the hall! A giant, incandescent pillar of lightning tore space apart as it descended from the skies, striking the body of Majestic Hero.

Profound magical energy detonated around the trio abruptly!

Unparalleled thunder elements shot across toward every direction from Majestic Hero, and everything thirty meters around him was blanketed with a dense net of lightning!

The white-hot lightning blast thus unfurled away in a ring formation, but not only was Majestic Hero's attack prompt, it seized the timing to great effect!

In the very moment the bolt echoed, it had utterly drowned away the Lich's Sonic Wave. The creature itself had been affected by the Tier Five AoE spell Rolling Thunder—as it charged into the attack zone and had its barrier incidentally struck by the Pigasus's Sacred Light power, it defenselessly crashed into the net of lightning, sparks splashing as its entire body was electrocuted.

Spirit restored!

Qin Ruo and Black God, ignoring the system notifications that the attack just now had caused damage to the Lich, charged out at once while unleashing their attacks viciously.

"Shadow Bind!"

Black God used another magic scroll, and right after Rolling Thunder, three dark halos quickly shrouded Lich's body and tightened!!

Madness!

Shadow Bind…

It was a Tier 5, pure attribute effect Shadow spell!

Black God was actually using a pure attribute effect against a Tier Six Boss, and a Specter-class magic-type Boss at that!

What was the actual chance of success for that?

However, even as he frowned, Qin Ruo saw something astonishing: as the three dark halos wrapped around the Lich and fastened at once, it actually caught the Lich's spread arms in the air and bound them tightly, shackled like a dumpling!

"No way…"

Qin Ruo gaped. Black God succeeded in binding the Lich?!

"The restraining effect of Shadow Bind lasts 1 second!"

Nevertheless, even if it lasted a single second, Majestic Hero and the Pigasus had simultaneously unleashed their second wave of attack—but Qin Ruo remained in disbelief. It was as if Black God had expected Shadow Bind to work, and began to charge another spell for his second attack with nary a change in expression…

Inspirational! Inconceivable!

Qin Ruo's minions, however, did not tarry. Grabbing the moment before the Lich could act, his three water wolf skulls struck true on their targets collectively! With the Pigasus's support, a single water wolf skull which Magic Attack was above 420 only did nine hundred damage to the Lich at one go…

'SHIT!

'Magic Defense above 360!'

It was then that the Pigasus's barrage of multiple Light-attribute elemental missiles struck its target, and from the combat status feedback of the system, Qin Ruo could hear a single 623 damage.

He was hence left in a daze. What manner of universal principle was that? The magical damage dealt by a Tier 5 Pet was higher than himself, a Tier 5 Aquamancer! (Light magic and little angels deal increased damage to specters)

"Kill it?!" Qin Ruo exclaimed loudly.

It was a great opening right before their eyes. Only one of the Liches had moved, and with three men and three pets dealing against one enemy, as well as one little angel that could both provide buff and attack, victory was at hand!

Black God was moved by Qin Ruo's very words: Qin Ruo's barrage attacks skill quickly wreaked considerable damage, just as the little angel was suppressively powerful against the specter—it would not be impossible to kill the Lich if he and Majestic Hero took turns at vanguard position.

"Don't be fooled, it's the Liches' trick!" Majestic Hero shouted somberly, even as he violently brandished a thunder magic scroll and forcefully paralyzed the bound Lich for 1.5 seconds. "We'll stick with the plan! Qin Ruo will deal with this Lich, the other two are mine."

With those hasty words, Majestic Hero spread his wings and flew direct at the Lich, streaking over its head, while Black God carefully followed behind him.

Even as Majsetic Hero spoke, Qin Ruo had summoned 'Poochie'.

Swish!

A gold figure split into four right beside the Lich as it fell—Shadow Clone!

At the same time, Qin Ruo began to zealously control the water elements in the air, conjuring one Frostrampart after another…

***

Poochie's target hit, dealt 1 damage to Lich!

Target stunned for 2 seconds!

Poochie's target hit, dealt 1 damage to Lich!

Stun effect extended to 4 seconds!

Poochie's target hit, dealt 1 damage to Lich!

Stun effect extended to 6 seconds!

Poochie's target hit, dealt 1 damage to Lich!

Stun effect extended to 8 seconds!

***

A series of combat status feedback arrived. Both Majestic Hero and Black God shivered as they streaked past over the Lich's head, leveling astonishing gazes at each other…

What kind of pet was that?!

It was fine that it had attacking and anti-magic ability. It would have been normal for its attack effect to be higher, but was that skill not a little too much?! Stunning a Tier 6 Boss for 8 seconds—what's with that?!

Still, now was not the time to delve into Poochie's origins since Qin Ruo had more or less accomplished most of the mission. Quickly composing themselves, the pair met the two other Liches that were now lunging at them.

Facing two Tier 6 Bosses head on, Black God could not resist questioning Majestic Hero beside him.

"You got this?"

The latter wrinkled his brow; his expression was never so solemn before.

"Just take care of yourself."

Even as those words were spoken, two clusters of purple thunderbolts suddenly appeared in front of Majestic Hero. Half a meter in diameter, the purple bolts rolled actively spherical radiance, intermittently emanating dull thunderous explosions. The sparks that shot out, however, was quickly drawn by a huge invisible hand and pulled back into the spherical cluster of light.

Black God watched as Majestic Hero directly unleashed his ultimate move, and started to pull back slightly. Then, as Majestic Hero and Pigasus was about to collide with the two Liches, he spread his wings to dart toward the flanks of the battle zone at the passageway which the Liches had been guarding, accelerating to the limits of his speed instantly!

"Damned insect!"

"Die!!!"

The two Liches's sky-blue magical robes were enraged immediately. Even as they spat in human language, they bellowed a terrible Tier Six AoE offensive—Lich's Rage and quickly turned, intending to give up on Majestic Hero to intercept Black God as he tried to outflank them and stop him from entering the underground city.

Be that as it may, in the split second that they moved, Majestic Hero had promptly charged within the range of attacking the Liches. With an angry cry, the two clusters of fiercely struggling and exceedingly unstable purple lighting crashed together!

Bzzt!

Bzzt!!!

***

Dozens of meters away, Qin Ruo, who had been condensing his tenth Frostrampart suddenly felt the elements filling the hall trembling bizarrely once. It was an invisible Earth-element tide engulfing a radius of hundreds of meters, an indescribable gravitational force that abruptly emanated from Majestic Hero's direction…

In the air, Qin Ruo's Frostrampart were showing signs of collapsing and drawing close to Majestic Hero. Startled, Qin Ruo hurriedly ceased his condensation of magic, and moved his crumbling Frostramparts away from Majestic Hero!

In his senses, Majestic Hero's body was already encircled by a curious purple vortex-shaped "object" where white sparks danced, wherein the frightening Seismic Pull emanated!

Be that as it may, the one most affected by the bizarre magic was the Lich. As the creature howled in anger, its body, out of its own control, was being pulled toward Majestic Hero by the absolute might of Seismic Pull. All its effort in flight was futile—it inched ever close to Majestic Hero, watching helplessly as Black God swiftly darted behind it!

More than that, the elements could not be condensed. Despite the protection of barriers, the Lich was now a toothless tiger, its frightening appearance helpless against Majestic Hero…

Qin Ruo's heart skipped a beat!

Was that… the power of the true Tier 5 Supreme Champion?!
