Chapter 1299: Battle End

Chapter 1299: Battle End

At that moment, the battle all around the Ice Throne reached a white-hot state. Perhaps due to the emergence of the Tentacle Orbis, the water elemental creatures attacked the Ice Throne more insanely, so much so that the mermaid warriors and players couldn’t resist them any longer. Although the Tentacle Orbis struggled in the constant attacks from the players led by Gillian, the Ice Throne was the core of the water elemental plane, after all. The fire element was so much more contained in this place that even Gillian couldn’t defeat the Tentacle Orbis entirely. If she were in other places, she could annihilate the Tentacle Orbis using her power as an elemental lord alone. But it was a pity that they had to be in the water elemental plane…

Well, one had to be humble when trapped in an inferior situation.

Meanwhile, the battle was just as fierce inside the ice crystal barrier as the toxic creatures filled the area like raindrops. Although Rhode’s group wiped out the toxic creatures on his side quickly, the battles elsewhere still hadn’t subsided. Looking at the battles, Rhode couldn’t do much about them. After all, his side was already outnumbered. The trouble with the toxic creatures was that even though they could be easily frozen and smashed, if they weren’t evaporated quickly enough, their fragments would continue fusing with their main bodies. Not only that, but when one used the fire element to evaporate the toxic fragments, one also had to stay far away, or else the evaporated toxic gas would be strong enough to seize one’s life. And in the water elemental plane, the regeneration speed of these toxic creatures was two times faster than on the main plane. On the other hand, even though the mermaid warriors were still able to deal with the toxic creatures, they were unable to eliminate them completely. This made the battles even trickier. If this continued, as a last resort, perhaps they could only rely upon the Queen of Ice’s ultimate move.

The only way to win was to cripple the giant octopus!

But it wasn’t as easy as it seemed…

Looking at the giant octopus’s huge mouth before him, Rhode frowned. The nastiest thing about this mollusk was its ability to resist strikes. Besides, the rate of its self-recovery was also really fast in this elemental plane. Although Gillian and the rest were here to contain it, it still wasn’t enough from them. Ultimately, there were still too few people on Rhode’s side, which consisted of less than 30 players who had managed to disengage from the battlefield earlier. Not only that, but more than half of Rhode’s forces were split up into smaller groups. The remaining half of them followed Gillian’s lead and relied upon her elemental halo to boost their strength in battles. Otherwise, with their own damage, perhaps there was no way to threaten the giant octopus at all.

But now, inside the ice crystal barrier…

Rhode waited quietly for a while and didn’t rush over to the BOSS right away. However, it wasn’t that he was waiting for its health to drop to red in the game. Instead, the timing just wasn’t right yet. Even though it had been bashed up miserably by Gillian and the others, and most of its attacks were blocked by Anne, Rhode knew very well that it was stronger than this. And if Rhode were to rush in with the rest, the giant octopus was likely to flee without looking back. That was why he had to wait patiently, giving the giant octopus the misconception that it could still win the fight if it stuck around. And as long as it took the bait, no matter how Rhode dealt with it later, he would be victorious.

That said, it still wasn’t time yet…

“Let’s go and help the rest. Don’t consume too much power!”

After glancing at ugly mouth of the giant octopus at the top of the ice crystal barrier, Rhode gave his orders immediately and led the crowd to assist the mermaid warriors who were brawling with the toxic creatures.

With Rhode and the players joining them, the stalemate gradually came to an end. The reason why the mermaid warriors were unable to inflict too much damage to the toxic creatures was because they weren’t experienced in dealing with them. But after witnessing how Rhode and the players fought against them, the clever mermaid warriors quickly figured out the secrets. After Rhode and the players wiped out a few waves of toxic creatures, the mermaid warriors also launched themselves forward. Although they couldn’t cast fire elemental spells like the players, they also had their own unique set of skills. They used an AoE ice attack to freeze the toxic creatures. Then, without the need to roast them like Rhode’s group, they used s special ability of theirs.

Frozen World!

This was one of their most powerful skills. If they were in the main plane, this skill would only be a widespread freeze. But in the water elemental plane, the strength of this attack was enough to freeze and also shatter all creatures enveloped in it into powder. The toxic creatures crumbled like fallen sand sculptures shortly after. This terrifying ability that froze even atoms made Rhode twitch his brows a little. If the little mermaid was also capable of this ability, what was there for him to be afraid of? Wouldn’t Chaos be doomed in the face of this Frozen World? But it was a pity that the little mermaid wasn’t that powerful yet. Besides, there wasn’t enough water element on the main plane to support this attack…

Rhode watched as the mermaid warriors adapted to dealing with the toxic creatures efficiently. Meanwhile, he remained silent and slipped away with his group. In the blink of an eye, not even the mermaid warriors knew where those humans who fought alongside them had gone to.

“Oh-no-no, how can you do that, Master? I’m still giving my all here.”

Gazing at the ice crystal barrier below, Gillian grumbled. Despite that, her hand movements didn’t stop. This time, no one noticed that as she spoke, her gaze became fierce. She extended her arms and along with this action, a burning scarlet card appeared between her slender fingers.

Then, flames erupted.

Spell of the Red Lotus.

Rumble…

In the sound of explosive thunderclaps, the crowd in battle couldn’t help but look at the sky curiously. This was the water elemental plane and not the main plane, so there shouldn’t be thunderclouds at all. But now, the rumbles caught everyone by surprise. Shortly after, they witnessed thick layers of white clouds emerging from the horizon and shrouding the battlefield.

Wait… Those aren’t clouds!

“Ssss…!”

Along with this odd sound, a scarlet radiance poured out from the clouds, splashing onto the giant octopus like a waterfall crashing from 3,000 feet above. At first glance, it looked like a stream of scarlet blood, but the boiling white steam that evaporated the heat around the waterfall clearly told everyone that it wasn’t blood, but lava instead!

Boom!

“———!”

The giant octopus also seemed to realize the danger. It loosened its tentacles for the first time to evade this attack from Gillian. However, it was one step too late. Perhaps because it was too focused on the battle inside the ice crystal barrier, it didn’t notice the hot lava and water vapor that jetted from above. It was caught off guard and splashed in the face by the scorching lava. In an instant, bursts of white steam rushed skyward as if they were nuclear explosions.

The giant octopus couldn’t hold on any longer to this deadly attack from Gillian. It waved its tentacles in rage, at the same time shrouding itself in clouds of dark, cold, and damp mist that erupted from its body. Along with this bone-piercing chilliness, the lava flowing down in waves finally seemed to be resisted. At that moment, the giant octopus withdrew its body swiftly, intending to escape. And as it no longer injected toxin into the ice crystal barrier, the fierce battles inside it were no longer active. After having their source of power cut off, the toxic creatures died one after another and could no longer go against the mermaid warriors.

At that moment, the giant octopus hesitated whether to continue the battle. But shortly after, it made its decision.

Shing———!

An eye-catching, silver blade ray struck like a bolt of lightning in the night sky, ripping apart the mist enfolding the giant octopus. Rhode, who disappeared from the battlefield earlier, showed up behind the giant octopus like a ghost, blocking its retreat. Not only that, but the blade ray he struck also revealed the giant octopus to the crowd again.

At that moment, the giant octopus’s body could be said to look rather nasty. After having lava poured on it, the surface of its otherwise smooth, moist body was now covered in disgusting, ghastly burn wounds that oozed deep blue liquid. Not only that, but its flesh was also ripped from its body, which was an appalling view. The giant octopus that was under attack once again blew its top. Earlier on, it almost went crazy after being battered by Gillian and the players. Gillian was also a cunning one. She cast her skills from far away and whenever the giant octopus extended its tentacles at her, Anne was there to cut them off. After losing two to three tentacles, the giant octopus no longer dared to retaliate and could only focus on attacking the ice crystal barrier. And now, another group of people actually arrived to bully it further!

Ssss———!

Upon hearing Rhode’s voice, the Tentacle Orbis’s enormous eyes glinted in a ferocious and brutal flash.

I can’t hit those damn bast*rds who are far away. But what makes you think I can’t hit those who are near?

At this thought, the giant octopus hesitated no more. It roared, raised its tentacles, and grabbed at Rhode!

Three enormous tentacles sealed off Rhode’s retreat. As Rhode charged ahead and sliced off the mist surrounding the Tentacle Orbis, the three tentacles arrived by his side. Almost in the blink of an eye, he was about to be caught and squashed into bits. But it was a pity that there was always a difference between imagination and reality.

Swish!

The moment the three tentacles were about to seize Rhode, he dove, evaded the attacks, and brushed passed the huge suction cups under the tentacles. Shortly after, not only did he not flee, but he also turned around immediately and slashed a dazzling blade ray from the tip of one of the tentacles.

Slash!

In a swift sound, the thick tentacle was sliced into two from the middle. Upon sensing the immense pain, the Tentacle Orbis bellowed. This time, it couldn’t tolerate it any longer!

Swish———!

Along with the snarls, ice-cold, chilly winds blustered in all directions. Everyone including Rhode came to a standstill right away as the air seemingly froze at that moment. Everything seemed to be covered in countless layers of ice. At the same time, the crowd felt as if 1000 pounds were weighing them down. The Tentacle Orbis zoomed past swiftly as if it were swimming in water, showing up before Rhode and widening its mouth to reveal its terrifying, razor-sharp teeth. It pounced on him, attempting to devour him entirely…

However, the giant octopus didn’t notice that at that moment, a petite figure flashed by its eyes.

As the figure was too petite, so much so that it was about the size of a toothpick before its eye, it was seemingly impossible for it to cause any damage. But shortly after, the immense pain from its eye, as well as the pitch-black darkness that enfolded its vision, interrupted its attack.

Bell had leapt into midair.

As a holder of the earth element, she wasn’t as affected by the water element as the rest. Even though her attacks weren’t boosted in the water elemental plane, the attributes of the earth element ensured that she wasn’t overwhelmed by the water elemental power. At that moment, while the rest were shrouded by the Tentacle Orbis’s blizzard, the young lady dodged nimbly like a ghost and punctured the two daggers in her hands mercilessly into the giant octopus’s huge eyes.

Octopuses were octopuses, after all. Even an octopus in the water elemental plane and a BOSS-sized one strong enough to attack the Ice Throne, it was still an octopus, ultimately. As an octopus, one of its most unevolved body tissues was the eyes.

Boom!

The huge, round eyes ruptured in this ruthless attack by Bell. Putrid blood spurted out from the wound and sprayed into the sky. At that moment, the giant octopus could no longer handle the pain. Its massive body shivered, while its tentacles fluttered aimlessly. The immense pain stripped its ability to think. It instinctively wanted to leave this battlefield.

But it was a pity that Rhode wouldn’t let it off so easily.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless flames erupted along with Rhode’s hand gestures, striking heavily on the giant octopus. At that moment, its massive body swayed like a battleship struck by cannon fire. It struggled to flee, but eventually, in an unwilling shriek, it collapsed into the sea of snow and stopped moving.

This signified the end of this battle.

After the giant octopus died, the water elemental creatures that were attacking the defensive line in a frenzy abruptly returned to their senses and stopped their assault. Shortly after, they tucked tails, fled in a fluster in the attacks of the players and mermaid warriors, and disappeared from sight. Up until that moment, the battle that threatened the Ice Throne finally came to a close.

“Well done.”

Rhode nodded in satisfaction at Bell and revealed a smile. Previously, it was his decision to make Bell ambush the Tentacle Orbis. As an experienced player, it went without saying that he knew what the Tentacle Orbis’s skills and weaknesses were. As a matter of fact, on any other day, attacking its eyes wouldn’t deal any harmful damage. After all, it was one of its biggest weaknesses, so it would undoubtedly protect them at all cost. But after using the blizzard, things changed entirely. All in all, the blizzard was its ultimate skill that utilized all of its stored water elemental power. And when it used the skill, it was entirely defenseless. As long as players resisted this attack, they could seize the opportunity to attack its lethal weakness. Most of Rhode’s subordinates here were of the fire attribute. who were held back to a great extent. Moreover, the little mermaid’s attack also wasn’t enough to shatter the Tentacle Orbis’s defense, so only Bell, whose earth element wasn’t affected, was left.

As a matter of fact, Bell completed the mission that Rhode gave her perfectly.

Upon hearing his praise, Bell revealed a blush and lowered her head in silence. And just as Rhode was about to say something, another voice sounded from the side.

“Hey, Master, you can’t be so biased, okay? We also gave our all. Don’t you think so, Little Anne?”

“Yeah, yeah! Leader, Anne also worked hard!”

“You girls did well.”

After hearing Gillian’s words that sounded almost like a grumble, Rhode forced a helpless smile. He extended his arm, stroked Bell’s hair, and said to the two young ladies who ran toward him. Upon hearing his words, Gillian and Anne displayed satisfied smiles. However, he didn’t know whether they meant what they said earlier or not.

“Thanks for your help, Your Majesty the Void Dragon.”

At that moment, the Queen of Ice finally showed up. Frankly, she was somewhat nervous earlier, but after witnessing Rhode’s group defeating the enemy, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“This time, the water elemental plane owes you a favor.”

“You’re welcome. Besides, this is also for our sake.”

Upon hearing her gratitude, Rhode waved his arm airily, at the same time feeling somewhat worried about the other elemental planes. But now that the situation turned out this way, he had no other options. Rather than worrying about whether or not the other planes would be able to resist Chaos, it was better for him to hurry up with the awakening ritual, repel Chaos, and open the teleportation channel. That was his top priority at that moment.

“Well, the situation is really urgent. We’ll need to take our leave now.”

Rhode said and nodded at the Queen of Ice. Then, he turned around and faced his group.

“Alright, all settled. Let’s head home.”
