Chapter 455: Let’s See Who’s Better

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Right now, Qin Ruo finally knew that the Frost Bear he summoned was a cowardly one. Compared to the domineering entrance the bear made just now, its current action was definitely cowardly. It could not even stand before the overwhelming presence of the Cyclops. Moreover, it also looked powerless when facing the six summoned monsters. If not because of the Frost Bear was linked to the Mystic Frost Robe, perhaps that bear would have already fled the battlefield.

‘Shit! This bear is not reliable. Not one bit!’ Qin Ruo cursed inwardly.

However, he felt a sense of relief because he did not assign any important task to that Frost Bear. More importantly, he did not even consider relying on the Frost Bear for his escape plan...

What the Frost Bear could do the best was to attract the attention of Galbis. This was already the Frost Bear’s limit. From this point of view, it looked like the bear could still do something for Qin Ruo.

All the summoned monsters felt that the Frost Bear was a shame to the monster tribe. They rushed toward the Frost Bear and beat up the cowardly bear. Qin Ruo did not expect this. While taking advantage of Poochie using its dodge ability to attract Galbis’ attention, he quickly activated Darkfrost Shield and Frostbarrier.

Poochie that intended to destroy Galbis’ defenses was halted by the attack of the stone dragon. Poochie was already on the ground, being attacked by the stone dragon rapidly. Although Poochie was attacked repeatedly, it surprisingly did not suffer much damage.

What was strange was Galbis’ action.

What weird was the action of Galbis. Since Galbis recognized the identity of the Shadowfox, the Ultimate gave up on its initial intention of using all its might to kill its master—Qin Ruo. Galbis looked very happy when controlling the stone dragon to attack the Shadowfox. Qin Ruo could even sense that Galbis knew every strength and weakness of the Shadowfox. When commanding the stone dragon to attack the Shadowfox, it could still attack while retaining a huge amount of power, as if Galbis was having fun toying with the Shadowfox. From another point of view, it also seemed like Galbis was intentional waiting for Qin Ruo to activate his defensive magic.

Regardless, Galbis’ current actions completely contradicted its previous ones. The reason for this contradiction was actually Poochie. Even Qin Ruo did not know what level the Shadowfox was.

Qin Ruo then activated his dual defenses but he braced himself for impending danger. Galbis, who was still floating in the sky teased arrogantly. A beam of yellow light shot out from the air, expanded into a big yellow net, and headed toward Poochie. At the same time, the stone dragon who was still attacking Poochie had also increased its attacking speed. Moreover, the summoned monsters who were trampling on the Frost Bear also had their attack speed increased.

Qin Ruo was frightened when he saw this.

“They are so fast!”

Originally, Qin Ruo thought a Tier 4 Ultimate only had the combat power near to that of a Tier 6 Megaboss. However, when he saw the Cyclops Commander Galbis had stronger capabilities than the Lich in term of magic control and the power to control different monsters simultaneously, he knew that attack power was the only thing a Tier 4 Ultimate loses out to a Tier 6 Megaboss.

The power of the king of monsters was terrifying!

“Ice! Burst!”

Qin Ruo did not even dare to have a slight delay on his action and spell casting as he did not know what kind of attributes the net had. Poochie could be in trouble if the net captured it. At that moment, the Frostburst exploded above Poochie before the net could reach it.

BOOM! The collision between the Frostburst and the net occurred.

Poochie then dodged the attack of the stone dragon again by going underground, escaping death once more.

However, this did not mean that the whole situation was in their favor.

Galbis sealed Qin Ruo’s flying ability once more and at the same time it flew at tremendous speed. The continuous magic attack—stone dragon attack, did not stop for even a slight moment and still continued to attack. Its Attack Speed and Movement Speed shall not be underestimated. Furthermore, there were still six summoned monsters trampling the Frost Bear.

In whatever angle, the Lizard Bandit felt that Qin Ruo and Poochie had become Galbis’ prey. They had a very low possibility of escaping from the situation...

However, nothing was absolute

While commanding Poochie to continue dodging the stone dragon’s attack, Qin Ruo controlled the Magic Scroll to summon Lycan Barrage at the same time. The water wolf skulls attacked the stone dragon in three different directions...

Logically speaking, Qin Ruo’s Magic Attack should not be much lower than that of a Tier 6 Miniboss. The damage from the triple single-target spell was not insignificant!

After the stone dragon was hit, it seemed to be heavily damaged as loud crashing was heard and gravel was scattered everywhere. The stone dragon was knocked back by the impact.

Galbis’ one eye moved a little. The knocked-back stone dragon was swiftly restored at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. The restoration did not even require the destroyed rock as the stone dragon absorbed the earth element from the ground to restore itself. The body of the stone dragon was restored within a mere two seconds.

Indeed the restoration speed was not bad...

However, it was still a little bit too slow compared to Lycan Barrage.

Just within that little timeframe, it gave Poochie sufficient time for its Shadow Break to complete its cooldown and the opportunity to attack Galbis again.

For the whole battle, Galbis only calculated the combined power of Qin Ruo and Poochie. It never thought that the human he underestimated had some killer move up his sleeve. It was just that the timing was not right for Qin Ruo to reveal his killer move yet.

Nevertheless, the right timing occurred when the stone dragon just finished its restoration...

The restored stone dragon coincidentally became stairs for Poochie to climb. While stepping on the body of stone dragon, Poochie shot a lightning bolt toward Galbis who was still floating in the air. At the same time, the damaged Lycan Barrage recovered in the air and attacked Galbis together with Poochie’s attack.

“Hmph!”

The cold hmph shook Qin Ruo to his core...

While Galbis hmphed, a circle of yellowish light emanated from its body.

Swish!

Shadow Break!

Poochie whipped its tail and nullified the yellowish light circle.

Roar!

Galbis’ mood shifted slightly. It commanded the stone dragon to shake Poochie off its head. Fortunately, Poochie had jumped high away from the stone dragon’s head and reached in front of Galbis.

At the same time, Lycan Barrage which was behind Poochie had entered Galbis’ range of five meters.

Shadow Razors!

Six sharp dazzling lights clashed on the magical barrier surrounding Galbis...

Screech!

“...”

After all, Galbis had a little fear of the Shadowfox’s power. Shadow Break nullified magic while Shadow Razors destroyed barriers. What followed must be the highly effective physical attack skill—Shadow Clone. Such a combo attack was the super killer move of the Shadowfox.

“Die!”

Galbis swung its fist with anger after a huge roar!

The second AoE spell was cast before the Shadow Clone!

After Galbis’ punch, intensive diamond shaped gravel shot out from its palm. The magic brought a sharp, intensive, destructive momentum toward Poochie, who had just finished its Shadow Razors and was still floating in the sky without any support which could help it dodge that magic attack.

At this moment, it was not helpful to force activate Shadow Clone. This was because Poochie and its clone would be destroyed by Galbis’ AoE spell. However, Qin Ruo had realized this fact at the very first moment when he saw Galbis’ terrifying attack speed. He also anticipated that the usual way Poochie handled regular Bosses would not work on Galbis.

Three water wolf skulls tailed closely behind Poochie. After Shadow Razors were cast, one of the water wolf skulls floated beneath Poochie and transformed into a solid substance. Poochie stepped on it and once again dodged Galbis’ attack!

With a furious roar, Galbis swiftly finished charging its third spell.

Unfortunately!

Just when it tried to use a quick attack to take down Poochie, Qin Ruo released his second killer move!

The shining Mana Core on the cape with dark gold veins dimmed for a second...

BOOM!

Twelve Frost Ramparts Formation activated!

A tremendous chill was released in the air!

Galbis’ action was slowed down by the Twelve Frostramparts Formation and caused it unable to cast the third round of magic in time. At this moment, Galbis already entered semi-frozen status whereby its speed had dropped down by 20%.

Such a perfect timing gave Poochie an opportunity to cast its second Tier 5 skill...

Shadow Drill!

In just a short moment, Poochie transformed into a little golden drill and moved toward Galbis at very high speed. This skill was just like a Warrior’s Aura Drill which increased attack and ignored all types of offensive spells for two seconds.

BOOM!

“...”

Qin Ruo did not stop with his current combo attack! He took out a bottle of Darkfrost Potion and consumed it.

The third killer move from Qin Quo...

BOOM!

The chilled air from the Twelve Frostramparts Formation became even colder! Areas which were ten meters within the formation froze completely and areas thirty meters away were covered by a thin layer of frost as well.

As Galbis and Poochie had their battle above the formation, Galbis was on the losing end. Moreover, the attributes attack power of the Twelve Frost Ramparts Formation had increased and the Chilled effect raised by 24%! Galbis’ Chilled status had intensified and caused its speed to be reduced by 25% instead of just 20%.

The summoned monsters nearby suffered even worse from the formation. Once the Twelve Frostramparts Formation was activated, their speeds were decreased by 58%. Worst still, the formation’s effect was even stronger after Qin Ruo consumed the Darkfrost Potion. The Frost Bear which was bullied by the summoned monsters just now was able to counterattack.

Unexpectedly, the Frost Bear had fast health regeneration under such a cold environment. While its HP was recovering, the Frost Bear was able to unleash an unusual attack power which helped it to have a strong comeback!

In the next second...

Shadow Clone!

The floating Poochie finally activated its fourth killer move, which had a strong stun effect!

However, the Shadow Clone this time had weakened a lot...

The Shadow Clone only had a four-second Stun effect.

The time was just too short!

Qin Ruo did not even dare to make a move...

With just merely four seconds of Stun and without the help of Angelic Wings, he unable to widen his distance from Galbis for more than fifty meters. What more getting rid of his combat status and leaving the battlefield.

Qin Ruo had no choice but to take out the Special Roasted Snails from his Ring of Honor. As the Clan Leader of Angel Faction’s top clan, he did not have the option of caring about his noble image anymore under such situation. He gobbled up the Special Roasted Snails swiftly!

The fifth killer move...

Moving forward...

The Great Tree Sap was consumed by Qin Ruo as well.

Damn it! After all, the Ring of Honor still contained several sets of MP Potion (M) and MP Potion (L).

‘Huh, since you refuse to leave me alone, I’ll use potions to dance with ya! Let’s see who’s better!’
