Chapter 160: The Hardest Person to Beat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fire Ice was not to blame as Li Yi had been yelling to save the Healers and Priests first. In the end, Fire Ice had so much on her plate that she had forgotten about him.

Li Yi shouted, “Don’t panic! Calm down and listen to my orders!”

He could still command even if he was dead. The most famous Great Commander, Pretty Good Mood, in his past life was the representative of commanding from the grave.

He still had with him the three on-the-spot resurrection Holy Light Protection Scrolls. Whenever he wanted, he could get up from the ground at any time.

The surface of Ivrit’s body was sparkling. It raised both its gigantic arms up, making the motion of smashing the ground.

The Blazing Blow 50-second countdown commenced, 50... 49...

Everyone heard this notification.

“Attack at full force! Drink your potions and use your best skills. Top it all off with Miracle of Wind!” cried Li Yi.

He used one Holy Light Protection Scroll and got up from the ground.

“An on-the-spot resurrection scroll. Guild Master, you’re so cool...” exclaimed one of the party members who had an eye for goodies.

On-the-spot resurrection scrolls were not an item money could buy, yet Li Yi used one.

“Fire!”

Ivrit’s gigantic arms were held up high, and once the 50 seconds were up, they would come crashing down. With the damage it could deal, just one hit was enough for a total party annihilation.

This was the reason why Li Yi quickly utilized the Holy Light Protection Scroll.

All skills, together with Miracle of Wind launched like a tornado toward Ivrit, causing it to howl. Its flaming knuckles lowered a little. Once it took enough damage, not only would it not smash the ground, its body would also shrink from several hundred meters tall to a tenth of its original size.

One focused attack took it off its form, triggering its second phase.

Success!

Seeing this, Li Yi was ecstatic.

Ivrit’s first phase was extremely hard to handle. It was total annihilation once the 50-second heavy smash struck. Only by going full force could the party put an to end this attack but if the damage was insufficient, it would still resume its attack. Not only that, but Blazing Blow’s channeling time would then decrease as it went on, making it harder and harder to continue the battle.

If the damage dealt exceeded the required amount, it would be knocked off its first form, entering into the second phase or else lingering any longer in the first phase would conclude in a TPK in no time at all.

The first phase seemed simple but it had high requirements on DPS. They would go straight to the next phase once sufficient DPS was achieved. However, should they fail to hit the DPS target, then there was no point in continuing to fight. It was better to just give up.

The second phase was easier than the first phase. Ivrit would unleash group attack skills and all of them could be interrupted.

As long as they were able to interrupt its attacks, its second phase was basically a punching bag.

The party’s coordination could not be any better. There was not a single player action wasted. They went by their turns, with flawless teamwork.

Gradually, Ivrit’s HP was displayed: 73,000,000/90,000,000.

When they fought against Inferno Vinoshu, the whole party was scrambling all over but it was a completely different case with Ivrit. They fought systematically and methodically.

Once Ivrit’s HP was reduced to 55,000,000, its body became flaming red, entering into the third phase.

They did not need any commands from Li Yi, all the party members received a notification that Ivrit had entered into a punishment phase. No attacks were permitted when it was red.

Everyone took a moment of respite and allowed the main tank to kite Ivrit, moving around at a slow pace. Once Ivrit’s body changed to green, Li Yi promptly shouted to blast it at full power.

The third phase was not difficult. One should not hit it when it was red or else they would be punished with a one-hit kill move. They could only hit it when it was green and vulnerable, plus, any damage dealt would be doubled.

As Ivrit’s HP decreased, the switch between the red-green colors grew faster and faster. This was where it became hard. Many who could not keep up with the tempo received a fatal counter-attack.

“If you can’t do it, don’t do it! Don’t die!” Li Yi panicked.

In a blink of an eye, more than twenty players collapsed in the party. The DPS output instantly decreased by a large margin.

Although the first few phases were not difficult, the main obstacle that Ivrit posed was the high requirement on DPS. As the final boss of a dungeon series, its HP recovery rate was the fastest among the rest. Once in its final phase, if the DPS was not up to par, its HP would regenerate faster than the party could reduce it.

It was best to refrain from tempting fate. If they could pull through within five hours, then it was enough.

Upon hearing Li Yi’s words, everyone became cautious. They were no longer focused on damage output but were now carefully making their next move. Even if the damage they dealt was lessened at least their precision was maintained.

Ivrit entered into its fourth phase when its HP was at 35,000,000. It spread open its bat wings and took to the air. It attacked the whole party by spewing fire.

Ivrit did not perceive any Aggro in this segment so the main tank was unable to draw its attention. The flames spurted out at random and at high speeds. Anticipation was needed to evade them.

“Move to the left!”

“Move to the right!”

“Step back!”

With the presence of Li Yi who was once reborn, anticipating the flames 2 to 3 seconds beforehand was a piece of cake. Ivrit’s flame-spewing act fell through without a single scratch on the party. The party felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders and relaxed a little.

Ivrit became furious. It flapped its wings and took a deep breath, spitting flames covering the entire arena. This was a guaranteed damage-inflicting skill.

With the entire party’s HP reduced by 50%, Ivrit let out a hollow chuckle. He took another deep breath.

It was time to test the Healers. If they could not recover their party’s HP to full before Ivrit released another flame attack, some players would certainly die.

All the ranged classes were still focused on attacking while the healers broke their backs utilising all major healing skills at their disposal and finally, they managed to recover all the members’ HP to a safe amount before Ivrit’s flame-spewing attack commenced.

The healers were starting to lose momentum in keeping up after going back and forth on this several times. Their mana was severely exhausted. Barring Wu Old Wolf and Little Elf from the Magical Realm, the rest had their blue bars practically empty.

The famous Flame of Total Annihilation ruthlessly spurted forth flames at them for the third time...

All the members acted in unison to grab a red potion to drink even while they were blazing in flames.

Advanced-level HP Potions was priced at 500 Gold Coins each. There was no one that could concoct such a potion, including Li Yi.

There were over a hundred Advanced-level HP Potions, some of them were bought by Li Yi in auctions while the remaining portion was obtained by Fatty from looting treasure chests.

The party members withstood the Flame of Total Annihilation by consuming Advanced-level HP Potion and this resulted in zero casualties!

The bosses in King of Pantheon were not easy to defeat, but with the right strategy and understanding of their weakness, it would be smooth sailing for anyone to defeat them.

By the time Ivrit was done with the third flame attack, it started gasping for air. It would not make any attacks at this time so they could just attack him head-on.

After every third flame-spewing attack, Ivrit would rest for half a minute before repeating the cycle.

For a party who has over a hundred bottles of Advanced-level HP Potions, they were undeterred in the face of the Flame of Total Annihilation.

“Damn it, damn it! I’ve finally been released only to be defeated by you?”

Once its HP reached 15,000,000, Ivrit became enraged and let out a sharp screech, officially entering into its last phase.

“Flame Barrier!”

Ivrit lifted its arm and drew all living party members into the barrier...

“Pay attention to the notifications and try your best not to die! Pay attention to your notifications and try not to die!”

Now that they were at the last phase, Li Yi had nothing else to say. There would be a random notification each time prior to the boss unleashing a skill. As long as they obeyed those instructions, there would not be a problem.

They were all fighting the last phase individually as all of them were in different dimensions.

Flame Barrier was a mirrored dimension with fragments of Ivrit’s memories floating around. Anger, sorrow, joy, pain... Tons of negative-expressive heads floated about. Ivrit’s screams of fury could be heard throughout the dimension.

The head representing Ivrit’s joy floated over to Li Yi. He received a brief notification to lure Ivrit’s joyful head and his sobbing-in-pain head together.

If the instructions were not followed, it was impossible to kill these memory fragments normally as these fragments were immune to all attacks.

Fire Impact, Wind Shield’s Protection. Li Yi used these two accelerating skills in turn. Li Yi quickly managed to pul the two heads together.

“Bang! Bang!”

The two heads with opposing expressions started to collide with one another before merging into one body. It changed into a stunned, attackable state.

[-1367]

[-2134]

There was no questioning Li Yi’s DPS. Moreover, the HP of the head was only 10,000. Even a Healer class could easily take it down.

An angry head flew over and opened its mouth to spit fire. Li Yi swiftly moved out of the way.

There was no notification. This meant that Li Yi could simply kill this head. With only 10,000 HP like the others, he only needed to evade the attack. Li Yi crushed the head in less than a minute.

Now a melancholic head flew over. There was a notification on top of it. A 5-combo Critical Hit to take it down.

This was difficult even for Li Yi. It was easy enough to do a 3-combo Critical Hit but a 5-combo was pushing it. Even though he had the skills but if a Critical Hit did not trigger after activating them, there was nothing he could do.

He consumed a Fury Potion and activated Rapid Shooting. For just this head alone, it took Li Yi over ten minutes before luck was on his side — achieving a 5-combo Critical Hit to kill it.

Tons of heads swarmed at random, each of them with different topics. Even if Li Yi had played this section before, he was overwhelmed and almost died from a slight mistake.

With all communication channels temporary closed off, he could not contact any members of the party, and if anyone killed off a head, Ivrit’s HP would decrease by 10,000.

Those heads with negative emotions that were killed re-spawned over and over again, with unlimited resurrections. In the end, Li Yi lost count of the number he killed.

“Do you know who would be the hardest person to beat?”

Several heads began to condense and reemerge as Li Yi, under the hollow chuckles of Ivrit.

As fake Li Yi raised his arms to fire a shot, he also initiated Fire Impact to dash before the real Li Yi, whacking him with Mithea’s Fishing Rod.

An arrow struck right at Li Yi’s chest while the Mithea’s Fishing Rod wrapped around his neck, dealing two [-500] damage. Li Yi’s body was intertwined with a white ray of light, impeding his movements.

Fake Li Yi leaped high in the air and fired a shot in mid-air. Echoing his habit, his body then, swung far away...

“Pfft!”

Another arrow landed with a direct hit!
