114: Chapter 114 Chasing After Them
"Leave this monster behind!"
Yun Ge used Ice Arrow to slow down the level 30 Abyssal Nightmare, successfully causing it to break away from the Abyss Squad.
It was an elite monster with 100,000 HP, and there were only Bai Lu and Yun Ge, but Yun Ge still wanted to give it a try!
Over half of his current equipment was level 20 Silver grade. Compared to the Abyssal Nightmare, the 50,000 HP Abyssal Giant would have been easier to fight, but Yun Ge was no longer the same person he used to be. Adhering to the principle of contributing as much as possible to humanity, Yun Ge forcibly held back an Abyssal Nightmare!
"Just the two of us, can we handle it?"
"No problem. Just chase it and hack away, and remember to activate Iron Wall!"
"Okay!"
"Mana Bomb!"
Yun Ge fired a Mana Bomb, instantly dealing 10,000 damage to the Abyssal Nightmare. It let out a low roar and drifted rapidly toward Yun Ge.
The Abyssal Nightmare was a mass of grey mist that seemed to lack a physical form. Under the bright moonlight, it took on an eerie shape and moved at a very high speed!
"Ground Shrinking Technique!"
Yun Ge increased the distance and continued throwing Mana Bombs, while Bai Lu chased after it to attack. Her silvery-white greatsword struck the Abyssal Nightmare, continuously triggering Armor Break.
Boom!
The Abyssal Nightmare roared, and a ripple invisible to the naked eye spread outwards. Yun Ge felt his body pushed back a step, and his health dropped by half instantly.
AOE attack!
A level 30 elite monster was indeed not easy to deal with. It started using AOE attacks after losing less than 20,000 HP!
"Cold Dew!"
Fortunately, it was just an elite monster, so the damage wasn't too high. Yun Ge fully healed himself and Bai Lu, then continued throwing Mana Bombs.
"Yun Ge, are you okay?"
Bai Lu chased behind the Abyssal Nightmare, hacking away without daring to relax for a second; the Abyssal Nightmare's speed was just too fast!
Yun Ge was now not only the damage dealer but also filling the roles of tank and healer. He was a trinity, leading the Abyssal Nightmare as they moved!
Bai Lu felt that she was actually useless. She used all her strength to deal only 300 damage, and because the level gap between her and the monster was too large, the miss rate was very high. Conversely, she saw that with a single skill from Yun Ge, the Abyssal Nightmare would lose several thousand HP.
Was this really an Elementalist? One person could solo an elite monster 10 levels higher than themselves!
"Mana Bomb!"
"Ground Shrinking Technique!"
"Cold Dew!"
"Ice Armor!"
"Cold Dew!"
Yun Ge gritted his teeth and kept increasing the distance to avoid being caught by the Abyssal Nightmare. However, the Abyssal Nightmare kept using AOE attacks, each of which could take away half of Yun Ge's health. Yun Ge had to heal himself and Bai Lu every time, making his damage output very slow!
"This won't work. The monster keeps using AOE attacks, it's very hard for us to fight!"
Bai Lu shouted from behind. Although she had significantly more health than Yun Ge, she was wearing heavy armor, and her magical defense was lower than Yun Ge's, so she lost more health than he did.
If this continued, Bai Lu worried about Yun Ge's mana pool!
This was an elite monster with 100,000 HP!
Yun Ge was also annoyed. He wouldn't care if the monster used other skills—whether the Abyssal Nightmare used Armor Break, boosted its own defense, or summoned small minions, he wouldn't mind. But now, with it constantly using AOE attacks, it was hard for Yun Ge to find a window to deal damage. Dragging it out like this wasn't a solution.
"Let's try to see if this skill works on the monster!"
"Mana Burn!"
Yun Ge's mana remained unchanged, but a blue number appeared on the Abyssal Nightmare:
"-95674!"
"..."
"Did I just drain the monster's mana?"
Yun Ge was somewhat stunned by himself. The skill description for Mana Burn didn't specify how much mana it could burn from the opponent. Yun Ge was still thinking with his old mindset, completely forgetting that his own mana was infinite.
Therefore, even though the Abyssal Nightmare had 100,000 mana, it was instantly drained by a single skill from Yun Ge.
The Abyssal Nightmare's body paused for a moment, as if it wanted to use a skill, but it couldn't cast anything.
"It stopped moving!"
Bai Lu took the opportunity to rush up and slash several times. After the Abyssal Nightmare stood stunned for a few seconds, it let out an angry howl and chased after Yun Ge again!
"Finally, some peace and quiet!"
An Abyssal Nightmare without skills could only be considered an oversized normal monster. No matter how high its attack power was, if it couldn't hit Yun Ge, Yun Ge wouldn't be afraid.
"Mana Bomb!"
"Ground Shrinking Technique!"
Yun Ge kept kiting the Abyssal Nightmare like this. Soon, the Abyssal Nightmare's health dropped to 50%, then 30%, then 10%. During this time, the Abyssal Nightmare tried countless times to release new skills, but its body would only twitch, and it couldn't cast anything at all.
"Mana Burn!"
Seeing that the Abyssal Nightmare's health was approaching 10%, Yun Ge wasn't entirely at ease, so he used another Mana Burn. Sure enough, another blue number popped up on the Abyssal Nightmare:
"-2874!"
"It regens mana quite fast!"
Yun Ge was somewhat surprised. Although 2,000+ mana was nothing compared to the Abyssal Nightmare's 100,000, it was at least enough to cast a few skills. This was a monster directly from the Abyss, and he didn't know how high its damage was; Yun Ge dared not gamble.
The Abyssal Nightmare's low-health burst failed, and it could only vent its impotent rage while continuing to chase Yun Ge. But with Yun Ge's constant Ground Shrinking Technique, it simply couldn't catch up!
"It's almost dead!"
"Yun Ge, I really didn't expect this!"
"Armor Break!"
"The two of us could actually kill a level 30 elite monster!"
Yun Ge's mind was long gone from the Abyssal Nightmare. This was the edge of Sword Immortal City. So many elite monsters had passed by earlier, including a BOSS, and he wondered how the Guild Master had organized the defense.
In the middle of the night, he wondered if there would be enough people to intercept this elite squad. If they caused damage to the protective barrier, the example of Wanhua City was only a few months ago.
"I hope the Guild Master can organize enough people!"
Besides this, Yun Ge had no other options. The only high-level people he knew were President An Zhixia and Guild Master He Xiaoke; other friends he met while leveling were only in their 20s, and going there would only make them cannon fodder!
"2000!"
"1000!"
"Die!"
Under the rain of Fire Rain, the Abyssal Nightmare fell to the ground unwillingly, dissipating into a cloud of grey mist. Two pieces of equipment, a pile of bottles, and gold coins dropped on the ground.
"Silver equipment!"
"A weapon!"
Yun Ge and Bai Lu's voices rang out in succession. The drops from the Abyssal Nightmare were quite good; both pieces of equipment were actually Silver grade, and there was even a weapon!
"Pick them up first!"
Yun Ge and Bai Lu quickly picked up the items dropped on the ground and chased wildly in the direction the Abyss Squad was heading:
"Let's go, let's catch up and take a look. If we have the chance, let's hold back another one!"
Although the appearance of the elite squad meant that Sword Immortal City was in danger, from another perspective, it was also an opportunity.
These elite monsters ranged from level 10 to 100, suitable for Awakeneds of different levels, and since they were elite monsters, they would drop Silver equipment.
Silver equipment was valuable, and even those high-level elite monsters might drop Gold equipment. Since he had encountered them, Yun Ge didn't want to let them go.
"Chase!"
Bai Lu was very excited and ran even faster than Yun Ge!
The two rushed out of the desert edge and came to a dense grassland. From far away, they heard the sounds of battle. Yun Ge rushed over to take a look and was surprised to find that they were acquaintances.
"Ma Mingteng, Wang Yilin!"
