Chapter 270: Answer Me!
Fortunately, the Holy Kirin Insect was still on that machine and dashed to rescue Starry when it saw her in danger.
Mo Se, well done!
“What!?” The Lord of Contamination exclaimed, quickly realizing, “What else is down there…”
“Contamination, flow underground! Deal with those nuisances!”
As soon as the words were spoken, almost a quarter of the contamination controlled by Hedy burrowed into the ground.
Damn, Dust instinctively looked at the ratio.
63:37, the situation was getting worse, something had to be done.
The resurrection process of the Unyielding Sword was still ongoing; the particles scattered in the trench of despair were far too massive and wouldn’t finish anytime soon. It seemed he could no longer rely on it.
What to do?
“Hedy, do you have any way to regain control?” Dust asked, looking at the girl curled up in the corner.
There was no time left to let her tremble in fear.
“I… I don’t know… The Lord of Contamination is a summoner who has perfected the study of contamination; I just happened to merge his blood… Over the years, I’ve only learned a bit of the basic control method, I even learned necromancy from a necromancy book here…”
Hedy was nearly in tears.
The moment the Lord of Contamination appeared, her spark of hope was extinguished.
“…What will happen when control is fully regained?” Dust couldn’t help but ask.
“…” She was silent for 2 seconds, despairing, “Losing the support of contamination… Not just me, but my father, and the butler too, without my magical power, they will all disappear. Moreover, the Lord of Contamination will regain all his power.”
“But your father’s body has fully recovered, he just needs to awaken his consciousness. Will he disappear too?”
“Yes, we are bound together by a contract.”
“…Understood. If the master loses favor, the pet dies with them, right?”
This way, it wouldn’t work to wait for the Unyielding Sword to come back to life.
The only way was to go out herself and find a way to attack the Lord of Contamination together with those outside.
But… the power of the Lord of Contamination was no less than that of the other two lords, especially that contamination bomb.
Without strong enough NPCs present, it would be very difficult for players to fight against this level of boss.
It shouldn’t be like this.
After all, this was a quest, a task given to players.
If that’s the case, there must be a normal process to clear it.
When playing at the small stall, one could achieve a show effect by offering their own players as fodder.
What was missed along the way?
Dust suddenly thought back to the beginning; it seemed there weren’t that many contaminated creatures…
Damn! So it was her that created a difficulty far beyond SS?!
As the saying goes, “You reap what you sow.”
But Dust still wanted to rescue the situation; after all, this Lord of Contamination was no kind fellow, and if this weren’t handled well, the base in the Crimson Plain would be doomed.
Butterfly Dance wouldn’t be spared, either — the wolf pack, goblins, and even Treika from the illusion…
Even laid a heavy bomb in the Light camp!
Dust started rummaging through her backpack…
Fire Core, Darkness Core, Summoner of the Void trial proof, Bone Ring, Flame Cannon, and a pile of junk equipment and consumables.
Nothing seemed useful.
On Starry’s side, it was about the same, the only special thing being the first special reward given by the system after reaching level 35 — the Door of Xuanbing.
Door of Xuanbing: A passage connecting to the Land of Extreme Cold. Once used, it generates a Door of Xuanbing at the placed location, allowing free entry and exit between both sides (Note: The Door can be attacked normally, and can be destroyed completely after its initial existence fades, but has an automatic repair feature). Duration: Infinite, non-recyclable.
This thing… seemed useless at the moment.
Could it be a refuge into the Land of Extreme Cold? Or to repel the Lord of Contamination?
Forget it, there doesn’t seem to be an option to close the door; if another item is given away for free, that would be a huge loss.
Thinking carefully, all the key points now revolve around Hedy.
She said there’s no way to regain control, but is that really the case? Instead of thinking about going this way, why not let Hedy suppress the Lord of Contamination in return!
There’s no time to hesitate; trying it would show the results. Dust took out the proof of the trial from the Summoner of the Void and walked in front of the girl.
Hedy raised her head in surprise, seeing the golden-haired girl offering a crisp black shard.
“What is this…?”
“This is the proof of the trial of the Summoner of the Void, a hidden branch of the summoner that we obtained when defeating the Shadow Lord,” Dust said casually.
“Defeating… a lord!?”
“Nothing more to say; the lord is indeed strong, but not invincible. Right now, I have an opportunity to enhance your power. Do you want to try?”
“But…” Hedy extended her hand and quickly pulled it back.
“There’s no but; the resurrection of the Unyielding Sword has reached a crucial moment! Do you want to see your father die again because of you, or will you protect him yourself?!”
“I…”
Answer me, quickly! Mo Se, carrying Starry, was hiding from the contaminated creatures in the tunnel while Butterfly Dance floated, attracting the Lord of Contamination, uncertain how long they could hold on. The backlash from the extreme cold caused by the breaking of the barrier attacked the master.
Even the battle of the goblin prostitutes had completely fallen apart; otherwise, they wouldn’t be caught up!
“Okay! I accept!” Hedy finally made up her mind, reaching for the black shard, and disappeared in an instant as she crushed it.
Dust finally let out a sigh of relief, striding toward the teleportation array.
From now on, it could only rely on her to buy time.
……
Even though a lot was said, Dust herself wasn’t confident.
The current ratio was 68:32; there wasn’t much time left to give Hedy.
Thus, she must not let the Lord of Contamination intervene.
It was precisely because the boss was in a constant battle; otherwise, he would have seized complete control long ago.
Big Brother, you’re out! Seeing Lan Chen appear, Butterfly Dance exclaimed in joy.
Hmm. Lan Chen nodded, solemnly saying, “Let’s work together to take this guy down!”
“Okay!”
“Ha… overestimating yourselves,” Walwa sneered, casually firing a contamination bomb.
Lan Chen didn’t dodge; instead, he charged forward directly!
Right as he was about to be hit, he swung the Magic Sword, Blink + Magic Sword Technique!
The next second, Lan Chen blinked to right in front of the Lord of Contamination, striking down onto the boss’s chest!
Swish!
-3542
Even with the enhancement from the Sin Ring, the damage was still pitiful and much lower than Starry’s output.
“You dare…”
“I dare!” Cutting him off, Lan Chen executed another Magic Sword Technique.
-3449
-1574
“Hah!”
The magical shock effect attached to the Magic Sword Technique forced the Lord of Contamination to step back slightly.
Good, this is the rhythm!
Then using wind to kindle, “Prayer—Frost!”
Endless frost and snow fell, covering Walwa with a layer of blue-white slow effect.
Meanwhile, Lan Chen glanced at Snowy Brother Blin, “Ya Dian, use Ice and Snow Storm!”
“No problem!” Ya Dian nodded, wiping the blood that had dripped from the backlash from the corner of his mouth, and began incanting.
“Great Ice and Snow Spirit, please heed my call. In the name of my Snowy Wing, summon the chilling snow—Ice and Snow Storm!!!”
The swirling snowflakes turned everything they touched into ice blocks.
Even the contaminated creatures were completely frozen.
After taking several snowflakes, the Lord of Contamination finally turned into an ice sculpture again.
His health was down to 80%!
“Butterfly Dance!”
“I know!” The little butterfly flapped her wings almost simultaneously, and a frigid wind swept through, roaring with ice and snow.
Dust then activated the second stored skill from the Elemental Horn—Storm Domain!
In an instant, the massively large Ice and Snow Storm was forcefully controlled and compressed into a tiny area, fiercely cutting through the enemies.
