Chapter 25 - Observing Battles
"I still need to defeat one more volcanic minion to be able to finish this job and be able to get back to the Safe Zone Delta" Jin grips his XDR-rifle and continued to walk straight and try to find more Volcanic minion that was roaming around the 10th Ave.
Jin soon found a volcanic minion but there is a problem he saw that it is already being attacked by a group of players with bandit-like armor. ``they don't look like they are from the military. Their strategy is damage-induced and not by coordination.And there are some that are injured``
Jin hides from one of the broken cars as he observes the group that is currently fighting the volcanic minion.
"Their levels are around level 14-15. But their damage is rather not that very dealing with. I guess they are not fully well trained in attacking such enemies like the volcanic minion" Jin whispered so that he won't be heard by any of the fighters that are currently fighting the volcanic minion.
"What the- why is this volcanic minion strong than the previous volcanic minion we have fought." Xing Tao exclaimed as his breathing was a bit heavy as he was been fighting the volcanic minion for about 1 hour and 30 mins.
"Maybe because its level is 19"
Dai Chen replied as she grips her wand and cast a water spear targeting the left chest of the volcanic minion. And as it impacted it pierce through the thick defense of the volcanic minion but it also turns back to the water but it deals a bit of damage.
"We need a plan Xing Tao or else there will more wound people. We can no longer expect higher casualties on this farm Xing Tao or the guild leader will be onto us. You need to create a plan!" Tan Ming shouted as he gripped his sword and waited for an order.
"Well, then Dai Chen cast more aggressive spells and target the main chest of the volcanic minion to decrease its defense. Tan Ming and Dai Feng struck the leg of the Volcanic minion to reduce its ability to move.
Yao Li keeps the support of healing spells. Xun Lim you and I will take the main aggro of the volcanic minion. Does everyone know their places!" Xing Tao shouted. And all of them replied with "Yes, Squad Leader"
As they move into their places they simultaneously attack the volcanic minion. The spells were loudly being heard from where Jin was hiding. And so the volcanic minion also cast some spells and one of those is the Fallen Gravel which is the skill that Jin also felt from the last time he fought with a volcanic minion.
"Take cover!" shouted Dai Chen, but it was too late for a warning. Xing Tao already leap forward raising his sword and shouting "Iron Slash!" his sword slashed through the softened thick chest armor of the volcanic armor and as it slashed through the rock defenses it simply cracked because of the spells that have been cast earlier.
Xing Tao soon falls to the ground his body laying in front of the Volcanic minion. And because of the spell cast, it also made the whole place I zero visibility and the dust and smoke were too thick. "Is everyone okay?" Tan Ming shouted angrily who was preparing for another attack. "We need to find the squad leader!" Dai Chen stated
"Alright because the Squad Leader is nowhere to be found I will assume the position of Squad Leader" Dai Chen shouted as she was already gripping her staff as she looked in front. She then whispered "Piercing Tornado!" after saying that spell tornado-like spear forms in front of Dai Chen and then she raised her hand and in a pushing action she directed it at the last known location of the Volcanic Minion. And then they will hear a loud explosion *KABOOM*
After that Dai Chen Shouted as the thick dust fog cleared. "Yao Li cast a healing spell on the leader" Dai Chen ordered as she already saw Xing Tao on the ground and not responding. "Tan Ming and Xun Lim cover for Yao Li to take the squad leader" And the two swordsmen nodded as they charge forward and trying to stop the Volcanic Minion to attack once again.
"Iron Slash!" Tang Ming angrily shouted while raising his sword above his head and swinging it in the direction where the volcanic minion is about to punch the ground and create another spell. And when the strike of the sword hits the arm of the volcanic minion, the volcanic minion steps back as it was about to be off-balance because of the impact that the Iron slash has inflicted.
Meanwhile, on Xun Lim's position as he saw that the volcanic minion was about to fall down, he then rushed to the location where there is the weakest foot that the volcanic minion has stepped on is it the left foot that will make the volcanic minion fall to the ground.
So he rushed towards the left foot and he said while screaming "Defiant Slash!" as he swings his sword the sword then gave an orange emitting aura. And as it impacted on the thick rocky foot of the volcanic minion it split in half. The Volcanic minion continued to fall to the ground and no longer able to stand up once again. The dust and smoke of wind blew towards their location as the impact of the large body falling on the ground.
Dai Feng carries the unconscious body of Xing Tao while behind them is Yao Li who is casting healing magic. Dai Chen then whispered as she put her staff in front of her. "Dirt Dome" after she said that a rock formation engulfs the Volcanic Minion. Once it was formed Dai Chen then raised her hand so that another skill will be followed to what she said and she shouted "Earth Slam!" and then all of the Dirt that engulfed the Volcanic Minion became huge stone blocks and it compacted all down to the Volcanic Minion.
After that skill, a thick dust fog followed, but it was still not over. As in retaliation and last hope for the volcanic minion was to release the lava flow that is inside of its veins. And make it flow so that the squad will back off a few distances.
And that is what the Volcanic minion did, it releases the Lava flow that was the last lifeline that is making its body much more functional. And it travels down to the ground its temperature increases and some of it has some chemical elements that meant to explode. And that is what happened some of the lava flow as it travels towards the squad it exploded right in front of them.
Tan Ming and Xun Lim retreated far, they were desperate to end the battle as they too are exhausted because of the long fight. Dai Chen was also breathing heavily her sweat is dripping from her face and dropping like tears on the ground. Meanwhile, Jin was observing since the start, he doesn't want to join the fight because he has doubts that it may become a 3-way fight and it will be a big problem for him.
The volcanic Minion ugly face was laughing, as the attacks from the players stopped. And soon enough he was able to regain a bit of balance to see what is happening. But still, his left foot is already destroyed. But it did not stop its movements to stand in an off-balance state.
Dai Chen is now worried as she also doesn't know how to fight a volcanic minion. Their main mission was really to gather intel. The problem just so happen was the volcanic minion saw their squad and so the battle began. Dai Chen raised her staff. And then points it at the volcanic minion.
She then shouted, "Water Bullet!" and then bullet-like water materialize and then She shouted "Attack!" and it fired all of the water bullets hit perfectly where there are no lava veins and it only made the volcanic minion weaker. So it falls down again, and then Dai Chen shouted "I am of ability Power I can no longer use spells.
Tan Ming finish this battle!" she shouted after that Dai Chen drops to the ground. Yao Li quickly cast "Divine Cross!" After shouting that a Cross falls down from the sky and it creates a circle where inside that circle it was able to heal and replenish Ability Power.
Tan Ming, Xun Lim, and Dai Feng all stood there as they grip their swords. All of them said "Defiant Call!" After that all of their bodies imitate a pink aura they felt as their defense increased. After that they then shouted "Last Sword Call!" they raised their swords and what they felt was the increase of damage. And now they are ready for the last fight.
All three of them charge towards the Volcanic Minion who was laying on the ground. "Xun Lim Cut off his left arm, Dai Feng Cut off his Right arm" Xun Lim replied with a nod and quickly rushed towards the left arm of the Volcanic minion same with Dai Feng. And when they reached their location all three of them shouted. "Defiant Slash!" and they raised their swords and they all slash an impact strike on their specific target.
Tan Ming's target was the cracked chest which now shows the magma core of the volcanic minion. The two hands were now cut off so the Volcanic Minion can no longer be able to cast spells. Tan Ming then shouted "Fallen Sword!"
Tan Ming did a fancy with his sword and then struck it down to where the Magma core is. And as he struck down his sword, an aura like a big sword all come down from the skies and struck the magma core.. The magma core soon exploded with that Tan Ming was sent flying and the body of the volcanic minion deteriorated.
