Chapter 140: Fire Demon Lina

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Fire Devil Instance Dungeon was set at the peak of the Pinnacle of the Fire. It was the Pinnacle of the Fire Instance Dungeon’s last map and it was worthy to be termed as an Epic Level area.

The moment the players entered the Instance Dungeon, they would be greeted with thousands of Fire Dwarf Spirits. However, they did not have to worry about them as these monsters would not automatically attack the players. This was because they were kneeling on the ground, praying devotedly to what was in front of them.

In front of the Fire Dwarf legion was the red altar, where the Fire Demon Lina with long fiery hair stood. She held a white burning orb with both of her hands as she chanted a strange curse.

The size of Fire Demon Lina was similar to a typical human. The surface of her body would be covered in fire as she raged but she was no different than a typical female human otherwise.

The players knew the rumors of the Fire Demon Lina from a certain NPC, that claimed she was originally the daughter of the God of Fire. However, since she had a rebellious nature and would often defy the God of Fire’s orders, she was eventually exiled from God’s realm and had fallen into a Fire Demons possession.

If it was not for Ivrit who had saved her, she might have been killed already. This was the reason she was so loyal toward Ivrit and was willing to guard the Instant Dungeon’s entrance for him.

Due to Lina’s unique identity, the name that appeared at the top of her head was different than a typical boss. It was not gold but purple — an Epic-Class Level.

When players entered the Fire Devil Dungeon, they did not need to face the creeps and the players could directly fight against the Fire Demon Lina.

Fire Demon Lina was different from those bosses which loved to change their forms. Instead, she would remain in her physical appearance from the beginning until the end.

When players had entered the Instance Dungeon, a timer would appear at the top of their heads. This was due to the fact that the Fire Demon Lina was activating an Ultimate Fire Magic and the players’ quest was to prevent her from casting it. They had to kill her before she cast her Ultimate Fire Magic or else the entire party would be wiped out the moment it is activated.

The time limit to challenge the boss was one hour, and the Fire Demon Lina had 15,000,000HP!

This battle would definitely be an extremely challenging one. Not only does it require a high DPS, it also required the main tanks to push themselves to their very limits. They could not afford to make any mistake and it would be hard to clear this stage if they made one.

Li Yi believed that the Star Fire Guild being able to successfully kill her was due to luck and skill.

Naturally, her defeat was more inclined towards them having the skills. If they did not have Unending Unmatched on their side, the Star Fire Guild would not be able to kill the Fire Demon Lina even if luck was on their side.

Li Yi did not foresee that Unending Unmatched would join the Star Fire Guild two months in advance. So, he sent Shen Lang to investigate this matter and he would soon find out the cause.

“Buff up and we’ll engage the boss in 10 minutes!”

Royal Blue Sky’s hoarse voice could be heard as the hundred man party started to move orderly.

According to Li Yi’s plan, they would challenge the Fire Devil Dungeon for three times. The first time would be lead by Royal Blue Sky, the second attempt would be lead by Pretty Good Mood, and he would lead the third attempt.

The mysterious woman in black held both daggers in her hand, yet Li Yi was able to see the difference this time around. Her class was different from Moonlight Ocean’s. The latter was a Cyclone Thief while the former was an Explosive Thief.

Despite them not being the same person, why would the other go offline while she was online?

Even though Moonlight Ocean was called upon in today’s trial, she was not online. Hence they had no choice but to find another substitute in the guild.

The Fire Demon Lina demanded a high skill ceiling from the main tanks. As Platinum Hand and Little Drunk Cat trained together, they had already chosen their main tank and secondary tank. They were, without a doubt, Mad Dragon and Infinite Insanity respectively.

As the top ten main tanks in the past life, these two had overwhelming skills. Even the Little Drunk Cat’s top two main tanks, Golden Gun Cannot Fall and Set Fire When There’s Wind were nothing compared to them. The difference in their skills was too far apart.

The Star Fire Guild’s guild master, Fallen Star was ranked number ten whereas these two were ranked five and six respectively. Since they were not able to determine who was better after many years, their ranking was based on thenumber of strokes 1  they had in their name.

Royal Blue Sky’s commanding style was extremely unique. He would only give a brief explanation before battle and would constantly give orders during battle. In terms of playing by ear, no one would dare to claim that they were the best if he claimed to be the second best.

Naturally, there were flaws when he operated in this manner because not everyone was similar to him, where they could react as swiftly and cooperate with him.

“Battle commences now. Everyone go go go!!!”

Royal Blue Sky roared. Mad Dragon and Infinite Insanity immediately rushed forward and crashed towards the Fire Demon Lina.

The majority of bosses were immune to any abnormal status effect and the Fire Demon Lina was no different. Although they had hit her with Charge, it did not impose any stun on her.

“How dare you attack the daughter of the God of Fire, you bold mortals. Your lives shall end here!”

The Fire Demon Lina was engulfed in fire. Then, she held the Fire Pearl up high as fire kept shooting out in all directions.

Mad Dragon and Infinite Insanity immediately retreated to block the fire that was shooting towards the party.

The Fire Pearl kept spinning as it kept shooting out fires. The sputtering of the fire was so dense that the party members would die quickly if no main tanks were blocking it in front of them.

It required a high-level of group cooperation from the main tank. If it were the Little Drunk Cat’s top two main tanks, it was unknown if they could pass this stage.

Gold Gun Cannot Fall and Set Fire When There’s Wind went up as well. They were fine at first but when the fires were getting more rapid, they started to lose their ground.

Thud!

Gold Gun Cannot Fall was the first one to make a mistake and was shot down by the fire. Two-thirds of his health was instantly taken away. Soon, Set Fire When There’s Wind had made a mistake as well, taking two shots of fire and was instantly killed.

“DPS, arrange yourself in three rows and stick to the main tanks’ back tightly and attack with all you have!”

They had planned to have 10 main tanks to take on the damages while the people behind attack safely from a distance. However, seven out of ten main tanks had fallen the moment the battle began and they were now left with three main tanks.

The party played by ear and started to attack the Fire Demon Lina.

As they took off about 1,000,000HP from the Fire Demon Lina, she stopped shooting fires out from the Fire Pearl as she started to laugh maniacally as she flew up to the sky. She then started dropping the Fire Pearl down to the ground again and again.

The moment the Fire Pearl exploded, it was three times more lethal than the Dwarf King’s Metal Skin Bird. It did not need to come in a huge number as the party would definitely be wiped out if the Fire Pearl exploded.

The solution to this was to let the main tanks move forward and repel the Fire Pearl up into the sky which would then hit the Fire Demon Lina down before it exploded.

However, the demand for the Block’s timing and direction was insane. If they blocked too soon, the Fire Pearl would explode and the same would occur if it was too late. If they blocked it at the right time and did not take note of the direction, they would miss the opportunity to attack the Fire Demon Lina who was in the sky…

Even if all 10 main tanks survived, it would be difficult for them to pass this stage.

The Fire Demon Lina would throw a Fire Pearl at random without any pattern. Furthermore, they could only rely on Block to repel the Fire Pearl back. It was then natural for them to focus their attacks on the Fire Pearl to prevent it from landing onto the ground since the Fire Pearl had about 100,000HP. It would immediately return to the Fire Demon Lina’s hands the moment it was destroyed.

The hardest part in this stage was to hit the Fire Demon Lina quickly. One had to remember that it was a timed combat and it would be disadvantageous to the party if they kept delaying it.

Li Yi had sufficient attack range to hit Fire Demon Lina in the sky but he could not deal any damage. He had no other choice as she was too high up in the sky. They could only rely on reflecting the Fire Pearl back up to deal damage to her in this stage.

“Stand still, Platinum Hand leader, while the rest retreat to the left!” Royal Blue Sky started to scream again.

The Fire Pearl was moving towards the mysterious woman in black while everyone retreated at full speed, leaving behind the mysterious woman standing still as per order.

“Fling.”

Mad Dragon charged towards the mysterious woman perfectly and repelled the Fire Pearl that was coming down from the sky with his sword. Boom!

The Fire Pearl was repelled back up and was shot towards the Fire Demon Lina with great accuracy. A huge spark exploded as the Fire Demon Lina screamed.

[-50000!]

Changing their attack mode where they would Charge towards their party members to get near the incoming Fire Pearl quickly was the conventional strategy that many guilds agreed on.

Though there was an unconventional way to fight in this scenario as well. They could use Archer’s skill, the Cheetah Protection to increase the entire party’s movement speed by 30% so that the main tank could close the distance in time. Although the main tank would be able to successfully block it in time, he would be stunned as well. He would then be placed in a dangerous situation if the Fire Demon decided to throw down another Fire Pearl.

“Destruction is the only thing that’s eternal. How could you mortals truly understand my pain?”

The Fire Demon Lina’s expression looked ferocious as she kept chanting curses. Then, the Fire Pearl in her hands split into two before she threw them down.

“Don’t move Dark Wing and Ye Yingbing. The rest of you retreat to the left quickly. QUICKLY!”

Two Fire Pearls were thrown down at the same time and it was impossible for one main tank to reflect it back at once. Hence, Mad Dragon and Infinite Insane charged forward, waved their swords and reflected them.

“Clank! Clank!”

“Boom! Boom!”

Two Fire Pearls was reflected back up into the sky, hitting the Fire Demon Lina at the same time.

[-200000]

Although the damage from one Fire Pearl was 50,000, they would be rewarded with double damage when two Fire Pearls dealt damage to it at the same time.

To be able to reflect the Fire Pearl and hit it at the same time required an extremely good coordination between the two main tanks. There must not be any slight difference in timing and only these two insane players Mad Dog and Infinite Insanity could pull it off.

Gold Gun Cannot Fall and Set Fire When There’s Wind was floored by their actions. They could only be impressed since the others were able to do something they could not.

“To be exiled by my very own father and being chased by those cursed Gods. What… What did I do wrong? Why must they treat me like this? It’s unfair!”

The Fire Demon raised the Fire Pearl high up once more as she started chanting her curse. The Fire Pearl then turned from one into two and then four before they were thrown down at the same time…
