A hard counter!

"A magic-type boss!"

"A million health!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing slightly.

As expected of the final test of an abyssal level Advancement Trial. Although it was ostensibly only a Level 25 Platinum-grade Boss, the Elemental Lord's attributes were comparable to a Dark Gold Grade Boss of the same level!

Furthermore, as a magic-type boss, the Elemental Lord possessed a total of nine skills. Combined with its magic attack power of up to 5,000, any single skill could easily instant-kill a large group of players.

"Truly perverted!"

Even Chen Ming was startled by the Elemental Lord's attributes; it completely exceeded his expectations.

However, as a magic-type boss, the Elemental Lord also had its weaknesses.

Its physical defense was not high, and its movement speed was not fast.

Moreover, it was facing a freak like Chen Ming.

"Come back!"

Jiang Chen raised his hand, recalling the Ice Emperor Wolf King and the Undead Lord to the summon space.

Facing a boss of the Elemental Lord's caliber, their current tankiness was completely insufficient; they wouldn't be able to hold out at all.

Rather than leaving them out to act as punching bags and drain shared health, it was better to retract them into the space.

"Human challenger..."

"I acknowledge your courage!"

"But facing me, you are destined to perish!"

The Elemental Lord floated within a pillar of golden light, looking down at Jiang Chen from a high vantage point as it waved its staff.

Densely packed flaming meteors descended from the sky along with scorching magma.

[Fire Magma Lv5: Summons ten magma meteors to smash into enemies. Each meteor deals magic attack power x 500% magic damage. If three magma meteors hit the same enemy simultaneously, they deal an additional 10% of the target's maximum health as damage.]

As the massive meteors fell from the heavens, Chen Ming did not panic in the slightest, calmly leading Emily to retreat and dodge.

His Agility attribute of over four hundred granted him extremely fast movement speed.

In just a moment, he easily opened up a distance, dodging all the meteors and magma.

"Before me, enemies either suffer utter defeat or flee for their lives!"

The Elemental Lord's voice was indifferent as it waved its staff again, and endless mana quickly began to condense...

However, this time, before it could release its skill, a swarm of arrows suddenly flew toward it at high speed, directly interrupting its casting process.

-50,010 (Poison Damage).

-863.

-250 (true damage).

-500 (true damage).

...

A series of damage numbers floated up from above the Elemental Lord's head.

The poison damage from the Source of All Evil instantly reached its maximum of 10 stacks.

Although the Elemental Lord had 20% damage reduction from its Boss template,

the poison damage from the Source of All Evil counted as true damage and could not be mitigated at all.

In an instant, the Elemental Lord's health bar dropped by a noticeable chunk.

"Ant, to be able to wound me... this shall be the greatest glory of your life."

The Elemental Lord spoke coldly, and the mana around it began to condense once more.

"A pure magic-type boss without any teammate support doesn't even have the right to cast spells in front of me—not even a god!"

Chen Ming scoffed.

In his previous life, he was the number one expert in 1v1 combat below the level of the gods.

His archery had long since reached a transcendent level.

Dealing with this kind of pure magic boss was simply a dimensional strike.

Even if the Elemental Lord's casting time was only a fraction of a second, he could still easily and accurately catch and interrupt it.

It could be said that when facing Chen Ming, the best attack method for this magic-type boss would be to physically bash him with its staff!

Otherwise, it wouldn't even be able to touch Chen Ming.

Of course, even if it tried to bash him, it would still never touch him.

After all, with the passive skill Ice and Snow World, Chen Ming could easily kite it to death.

Swoosh, swoosh!!

Chen Ming continuously pulled his bowstring, and a dense volley of arrows shot out, accurately disrupting the Elemental Lord's casting rhythm every single time.

As powerful as the Elemental Lord was, in front of Chen Ming, it was essentially a mobile punching bag.

-50,010 (Poison Damage).

-863.

-250 (true damage).

-500 (true damage).

...

A series of damage numbers flew out frantically.

1.3 million...

1.25 million...

1.1 million...

Even though the Elemental Lord, as a Platinum-grade Boss, had high health regeneration, it couldn't withstand Chen Ming's non-stop output.

In less than a few short minutes, it had been beaten down to only about three hundred thousand health.

[Notice: The Elemental Lord has entered a Berserk state. All attributes +50%. Please take care to dodge.]

A bright red danger warning popped up before his eyes.

Chen Ming didn't care in the slightest.

Against him, whether a magic-type boss was berserk or not made no difference; they were all just pure punching bags.

"Let's end this!"

Chen Ming drew the Arrow of the Underworld from the Hunter's Quiver on his back.

Hummm!!

The bowstring was pulled to a full moon, and a thick aura of death spread out.

"Ant, those who challenge a god must pay the price."

As Chen Ming stopped his basic attacks, the Elemental Lord was finally able to cast a skill.

Endless elemental power gathered in its hands, transforming into a massive sphere of light.

[Elemental Outburst Lv7: Condenses elemental power to deal magic attack power x 6000% magic damage to the enemy, accompanied by Burn, Paralysis, and Erosion wind element effects.]

As the Elemental Lord's ultimate move, the damage of Elemental Outburst could only be described as ridiculous—nearly three hundred thousand—and it came with various status effects.

Forget players below Level 20; even players at Level 40 or 50 might not be able to tank it.

Unfortunately, it would never be released.

Swoosh!!

An arrow emitting a thick aura of death pierced through the dense elemental particles and landed squarely between the Elemental Lord's eyebrows.

Arrow of the Underworld!

-53,568.

-50,010 (Poison Damage).

A bright red damage number flew out, and the Elemental Lord's health bar instantly dropped below 200,000.

The Hunter's innate execute effect triggered immediately.

Boom, boom!!

The Elemental Lord's body, which had been shrouded in golden light, instantly dissipated.

[Ding! You have successfully killed Elemental Lord (Sealed) (Platinum-grade Boss). Experience +1.2 million.]

[Ding! You have successfully killed Elemental Lord (Sealed). As the first player on Blue Star to kill a Platinum-grade Boss, you have received rewards: Source of Elements (Dark Gold Grade), elemental quiver (Platinum-grade), Life Stone x5 (Platinum-grade).]

[Your achievement will be announced globally. Do you wish to remain anonymous?]

A dense flurry of notifications popped up before his eyes.

Chen Ming decisively chose 'No'.

Hiding his head and showing his tail was never his style.

Following his choice, a series of world announcements popped up before all Blue Star players.

[Ding! Congratulations to player [Calamity] for successfully killing Elemental Lord (Sealed), claiming the first kill of a Platinum-grade Boss...] x10
