Xiafeng, who had recovered from his stun, returned to his position. In fact, their deputy tank team played less often than the main damage team. Before the battle, Asuna did not want Xia Feng to be the vanguard because she was worried about his safety. Now, it was Xia Feng who was worried about Asuna's safety. After all, Asuna was the main attacker.
Now that the skill was broken, everything that happened next was logical. Although the BOSS had high defense and high HP, it could not stand the players 'constant attacks and its HP kept decreasing. Every time he lost a HP bar, the BOSS would use the skill < Root >, and then Xia Feng would try to break it. As a result, the BOSS 'health bar disappeared one by one.
By right, everyone should be happy that everything went smoothly, but Xia Feng's brows furrowed even tighter. This did not seem like the strength of a BOSS on the 50th floor.
In fact, this BOSS was not simple. If not for Xia Feng's Evil Slash, the players would not even be able to take down the first HP bar of the BOSS.
Half a day had passed, and the BOSS 'HP bar was finally down to the last bar. Everyone thought that everything was going to be the same as before, waiting for Xia Feng to break the BOSS 'skill. But this time, when Xia Feng walked forward, he realized that there was no movement on the ground under the BOSS's " feet ". Every time the BOSS used the [Root] skill, the roots under its feet would move and the ground would rise and fall. He immediately realized that danger was about to occur.
"No, everyone, be careful!" Xia Feng immediately shouted.
Everyone was baffled, but they were surprised to find that the King of Ancient Trees, which was originally withered and empty, had actually begun to turn green. On the tree, branches, leaves, and fruits grew at an astonishing speed. In just a moment, the King of Ancient Trees had turned into a towering tree that was full of green and vitality.
"Retreat." Heathcliffe immediately ordered. The players immediately retreated. However, it was already too late.
After the King of Ancient Trees completed its transformation, the fruits, or seeds, hidden in the crown of the tree kept falling. These seeds were about the same size as melon seeds, which was really not worthy of the majestic figure of the King of Ancient Trees. However, it was precisely because they were small that these seeds were very light. When the seeds fell, they didn't fall directly to the ground. Instead, they scattered in all directions and scattered in various places in the cave. What was even more amazing was that the seeds sank into the ground as soon as they landed, and then took root and sprouted at a terrifying speed.
[The final skill of the BOSS is the Descent of the Tree World.]
A retreating player did not expect these seeds to grow so quickly. The seeds had clearly fallen under his feet before he took a step, but when he took a step, the seeds broke through the ground and turned into small trees, tripping the players. The tripped player fell on the small tree. Before he could get up, the small tree had already grown into a big tree and pushed him into the air. When he wanted to jump down from the tree, the branches wrapped around him tightly. What made him even more terrified was that after he was entangled, his HP kept decreasing.
"Help!" The player shouted in horror. Unfortunately, no one could come to save him, because everyone was too busy to take care of themselves…Similar situations like his were everywhere.
The dead tree turned into a forest in an instant and overturned all the players who had been pressing down on it. Only a few players with outstanding skills managed to dodge. The situation was reversed in an instant.
When the BOSS activated its terrifying skill, Xia Feng's first thought was not his own safety or his own plan, but Asuna's safety. At that moment, there was only Asuna in his heart.
"Asuna!" Xiafeng jumped around, avoiding the trees that had grown out of the ground while looking for Asuna. The trees had almost become a small forest, which seriously affected his vision.
"Xiafeng, I'm fine. Are you alright?" Asuna's voice was heard. Xiafeng ran in the direction of the sound and saw Asuna, who was also hiding from the trees. Asuna also nimbly reached out to protect herself. However, because of the trees, Xia Feng couldn't reach Asuna.
"However, it's fine as long as we confirm that she's safe.”Xia Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He then looked at the players who were entangled in the trees around him.
"Quick, use the Recovery Crystal." Xia Feng shouted. Normal Recovery Crystals could not be used in battle, but players above the 40th floor could obtain Advanced Recovery Crystals. Not only could they recover instantly, but they could also be used in battle.
By the way, it was the same for the transfer crystal. The ordinary ones could randomly transfer to the surrounding area, and the high-level ones could lock onto the transfer location.
All the players were desperately using their Recovery Crystals, watching their HP continuously drop and rise. The feeling was indescribable.
Fortunately, the forest was not permanent. Once the skill ended, it disappeared into thin air, and the players who were entangled fell to the ground. However, this did not mean that the danger was over. At this moment, except for a few players, almost everyone was heavily injured and had used up their Advanced Recovery Crystals. They were unable to fight anymore. However, the BOSS 'HP bar had recovered quite a bit. Presumably, it was absorbed from the players through the Tree World Descent skill.
Now, the only players who were not injured were Hitzcliffe, Xia Feng, Kirito, and Asuna. If they did not stop the Boss, none of the heavily injured players would be able to withstand the Boss 'attacks. They would only face a one-sided massacre. At that time, less than one in ten people would be able to escape.
However, Kirito and Asuna were not the vanguard, so they could not block the BOSS 'attack either. Even Xia Feng, who was the vanguard, couldn't block it. On the battlefield, the only one who could stop the Boss was Heavencliffe.
Heathcliffe stood in front of the Boss. His body, which could be considered tall and mighty among the players, seemed so small in front of the King of Ancient Trees. However, this tiny figure blocked the huge figure.
Heathcliffe had performed a miracle. He had single-handedly held off the BOSS for ten minutes, and had dragged it out until the injured players had used normal Recovery Crystals to recover their HP and combat power.
The Holy Sword, a unique skill of Heathcliffe, displayed invincible power in his hands.
"Continue fighting." Seeing that Heavencliffe, who was focused on fending off the Boss, was unable to command the players, and that the players did not know how to resume the battle, Xiafeng immediately gave the order. His prestige was no less than that of Heathcliffe. In addition, he had used Evil Slash to display astonishing strength, shocking everyone. The players obeyed his command without any resistance.
Soon, the battle line stabilized again, and Xiafeng returned the command to Heathcliffe, who had escaped. This time, when they saw the BOSS 'HP continue to decrease, everyone's hearts were covered with a layer of shadow.
"It's almost the last HP bar. Will the BOSS use that skill again? If he tried again, he would have run out of Advanced Recovery Crystals, and he would definitely die. What would President Heathcliffe do?”This was what everyone thought.
When the BOSS's HP bar was down to the last bar, Heathcliffe ordered everyone to stop attacking and leave the room. Everyone was eager to leave, but they realized that Heathcliffe did not leave…He was still fighting the BOSS alone.
Just when everyone thought that Heavencliff was covering for them, they realized that Heavencliff had actually taken away the last bit of HP of the BOSS, causing the BOSS to fall to the last HP bar.
The Tree World Descent was activated again. Unfortunately, this time, everyone hid outside the room and no one was hit. Only Heathcliff was left. He was extremely powerful and couldn't be hit. The BOSS had nowhere to go to suck blood.
"Let's go back." Xiafeng understood the intention of the boss. Once the BOSS 'skill ended, he immediately led everyone back to continue fighting.
The BOSS that was left with only one HP finally stopped making waves. When the last bit of HP of the BOSS was taken out, a series of cheers broke out. However, even more people collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength. This high-intensity battle that lasted for more than half a day was too exhausting, not to mention that he had encountered life-threatening dangers in the middle.
Heathcliffe still stood there, his cold expression unchanging even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Just as everyone was looking at the man who had saved the battlefield with his own strength, someone charged at him with a sword in hand.
