Guild Wars

Chapter 1198: Rina’s Third Test

How would you envision a battle between a ground type pokemon and a fire type pokemon? It should theoretically be an utter stomping of the fire type if the level range is around the same right?

Well guess what NERD, life is not like pokemon!

?Ascension Road Trial of Combat Quest Announcement

Sub-Event: World Boss Raid

Raid Target: The Mud Lord

Raid Target Power: 10%

Raid Target Introduction: This is a low level creature that was formed from the accumulation of the purest water and earth elements in this zone over the course of millions of years. Due to tis growth over time, it eventually reached its current level of power but with no source of divinity, it could never ascend past its limitations.

Raid Difficulty: Easy. (Easy - Normal - Hard - Nightmare - Hell - Impossible)

Raid Stage 1 - Mud Warrior(100% - 0% HP)

Description: Raid Target fights clumsily, using its elemental body to manifest various attacks.?

Rina's eyes were not filled with disdain despite the system telling her that this was the lowest tier of world boss. After all, even the lowest tier of world boss was still a world boss, with stats and HP beyond the norm.

The most important fact as that she was soloing it!

In the past ten years, the core members had fought countless world bosses in the main plane, extinguishing them all one by one. However, that was usually done while together, somethings even having the help of Draco's wives and other NPCs like Richmond and Nakiu for the Nightmare Rank and above world bosses.

The impossible difficulty of the Trial of Combat was really impossible, no normal player, no matter how talented, could possibly handle this. The worst part was that this enemy was also of a nature that countered her strengths, being mud against her fire.

But Rina still had to do it!

Because all the other core members likely chose the Impossible difficulty as well for the highest ranked laws, and had gone through the same thing as her. It was likely they were also facing world bosses that targeted their weakness solo.

In such a situation, even the most aloof of them would be unwilling to be the absolute last to cross this hurdle.

The Mud Lord did not give her time to think as it struck out with it hands, causing bullets of mud to fly into the sky at abhorrent speeds.

?Mud Bullets – Active Skill

Effect: Throw your arms forward to release a wave of mud bullets that covered an expanse of 5 kilometers. If they strike a target, they deal 40% physical damage and have a chance to slow a foe's movements speed by 65% depending on their size in relation to the bullets.

Cooldown: 5 minutes.?

Rina remained airborne because there was nowhere she could land on the ground that was filled with water and earth, and who knew if the world boss could trap her using it. Instead, she opted to fight in a normal manner and dodged to the side before releasing her counterattack.

?Sun Flare – Active skill

Effect: Strike a single target with a beam of condensed and concentrated flame, dealing 2,500% fire damage.

Cooldown: 10 seconds.?

It was akin to firing a giant ray of flame that was condensed into the circumference of a beer barrel. It was enough to run a human's torso into a missing chunk of molecules and when it hit the Mud Lord, it instantly solidified a huge chunk of its body.

-30,000,000,000,000!

A straight cut of 0.05% HP in one casual attack!

FUCK!

The narrator couldn't believe his eyes and let out a curse. He then opened the script for the novel in the backend and checked the numbers to make sure that it wasn't just bullshit being made up.

First off, there was Rina's various passives from her Divine class, her Divine class stats plus those she got from leveling up to the max (mostly put into INT), the passives from her various divine equipment like her Flamesear staff and her Divine set which Draco made for her plus her various titles earned over time.

Secondly, there was the fact that there was no Rank or level suppression to help monsters or bosses anymore. The core members were always OP, but they usually fought enemies more than 2 ranks above them, which always hampered their effectiveness, yet they could still deal millions of damage even back then. Now that it was all an even playing field, there was no such protection.

Thirdly, what saved the Mud Lord was its insane fire resistance due to tis element, or this attack might have dealt ten times more damage. That's right, its mud body reduced incoming fire damage by ten times, or Rina's one attack would have seared of 0.5% of its HP!

Huh? What was that? Decimal numbers are not impressive?

Brother, the world boss has 60 quadrillion HP. You barely made it out of high school maths alive and cannot even write out that number if I put a gun to your head, how could you possibly fathom 0.05% of that?!

Not to mention this was a 10 second cooldown skill!

If Rina maintained everything as it were right now, she would need to fire 2000 shots to kill this world boss, which was equivalent to 20,000 seconds or just a little over 5 and a half hours!

Unfortunately, things wouldn't remain the same as Rina had a huge pool of skills to draw from, while the Mud Lord also did as well. It seemed enraged by the attack from Rina which contained the element it disdained the most, yet it was able to cause it pain!

As such, it slapped its hands into the muddy water and looked upwards to her in the sky with hatred. The next moment, tis attack manifest as two pillars of mud which shout into the sky at abhorrent speeds.

?Mud Pillar– Active Skill

Effect: Expel a continuous shot of mud that forms two pillars to strike any airborne target and encase them in mud, causing them to be immobilized for a follow up attack. It also deals 70% physical damage on contact, up to 150%.

Duration: 1 minute.

Cooldown: 10 minutes.?

Rina looked at the mud wave and her heart relaxed. After seeing the damage she had done, the shadow in her heart towards this boss disappeared, because the most recent world boss that core members dealt with was 6 months ago in Boundless time.

That fellow was of the Impossible rank and was truly impossible to beat, being a Semi-True God creature with Divine Energy in abundance. The core members, Draco's clan members, the various NPCs and frankly anyone who could help minus the Evil Trio and the Three Beauties had been dragged down to help.

Everyone had literally died, even the NPCs. If it was not for Xela reviving everyone furiously using her class and bloodline abilities, some fellows would no longer be in this world anymore.

Luckily, that World Boss did not master any law, only had Divine Energy. As had been seen with dumbass Sunna, True Gods could negate resurrection, space and time abilities.

Unfortunately, Boundless wasn't dragon ball. One couldn't just wish back everyone after the conflict. There was a short period for resurrection unless one was a White Dragon like Hikari.

Anyway, seeing that this fellow was nothing like that fearsome fellow, Rina pointed her finger downwards with a thick look of disdain. If the fellow was going to fire something at it, then it should not be remiss to receive her meteor, right?

?Fire Meteor – Active skill

Effect: Open the skies and call down a giant meteor of flame that explodes and causes a Continent Zone to explode in flame. This deals 25,000% fire damage.

Duration: 2 hours.

Cooldown: 4 hours.?

As expected, a giant meteor from the sky manifested, falling towards the earth while picking up speed and heat. It surged past Rina who calmly helped her staff while her robes hem fluttered lightly, revealing her white ankles.

Don't underestimate those ankles flashes because we have booty pics on twitter, some medieval fellow could have used it to beat his meat for 3 weeks straight!

The meteor struck the two pillars head on, immediately forming a small scale clash attack. However, the damage difference between the two attacks was too immense so the mud pillars were simply boiled into dusty air and vapor, allowing the meteor to strike down unimpeded.

Seeing the incoming meteor, the Mud Lord showed fear for the first time and hastily created a mud wall to cover the area before it and try to block the incoming attack. However, this was obviously futile as this hasty defense was not even a skill, but a manipulation of the previous one.

The meteor struck it and immediately broke through, striking the Mud Lord head on amidst its screams and caused a huge explosion akin to the landing of a nuclear weapon.

A mushroom cloud formed at the area of the meteor's landing and huge shockwave ensued that could rip off the skin from a Goliath. The entire area was turned from a lush zone of water and earth element to a barren land of searing flame, like hell on earth.

Rina simply watched this all calmly, unfazed by any of the effects of her own attack due to her various immunities. The shockwave could have ruffled her feathers a bit, but she simply used her Control to form a barrier which caused it to part in the middle and pass by either side.

The mushroom cloud soon dissipated and revealed the center of the collision, which was a huge crater of fire that burned with a mixture of orange and black, seeming very malicious. The flames surged and licked the ground, even seeming to want to greedilydevour the sky if it could.

In the center of this crater was the body of the Mud Lord, which was ruined beyond measure. He only had his upper torso, which was all he formed anyway, and many parts were hardened to the point of blackening, which some parts which had solidified had broken off, leaving gaping holes.

The fellow himself lay in the highest concentration of fire, wailing and crying as it weakly struggled to escape, continually taking damage over time that caused its life force to slip away.

-49,000,000,000,000,000! (Initial damage)

-241,000,000! (Damage each second while in the flames)

The initial damage had been worth 81.67% of the world boss' total HP!

This was because, apart from the already mentioned reasons, like stats and passives, this skill dealt 25,000% fire damage, which was ten times that of Sun Flare. However, unlike Sun Flare which was purely elemental, the meteor carried a physical damage effect, which was the key aspect.

The dumbass Mud Lord had received it head-on too rather than dodge.

Did this retard think he was Kid Buu that could catch giant orb of planetary-tier condensed energy and even push it back slowly?

And with the current situation, there was no more mud for it to use to regenerate itself as the entire place had been turned into Rina's backyard. Given that these flames had a duration of 2 hours, Rina was content to stand airborne and watch the fellow burn to death, a look of cruel enjoyment in her eyes.

While she could be faster and compete with the other core members, she knew she could never beat the likes of Essence Stalker, Misery, Shadowheart and those other freaks at the top, so why not enjoy herself?

As for cruelly watching a monster with low IQ burn to death for amusement? Why was this strange to you?

Have you forgotten that this was the same woman who insulted a skeleton to death, causing it to willingly disperse its soul fire to never reincarnate again?
