Chapter 199: Chapter199-Solo Battle Against Elite Monsters?
They all thought John's actions were far too risky.
No matter how powerful he was, it seemed impossible to take on six elite monsters at once!
These were not just any monsters; they were emerald-tier elite monsters!
Any one of them individually would pose a significant threat due to level suppression.
But now, John intended to face six of them alone—was he mad?
The golem was the first to charge at John.
He quickly noticed that as the golem charged, it summoned countless small stones from its body and hurled them in his direction.
He also observed that when the golem attacked, its stature slightly diminished.
This likely indicated that it was using its own body mass to attack.
Simultaneously, a chill emanated from the left.
The Frost Giant was slowly advancing toward him, each step leaving frost flowers on the ground.
The smaller monsters around it were instantly frozen solid, shattering into icy shards upon the slightest touch.
The Lava Behemoth was also charging in his direction.
Any smaller monsters in its path were instantly reduced to black ash.
Strangely, these ashes did not simply dissipate but were absorbed by the Lava Behemoth.
Initially, it blazed with bright red flames, but gradually, it took on a red-black hue.
Everyone watching felt a mix of awe and dread.
John was preparing to face not one, but six elite monsters, each with their terrifying power and unique abilities.
John quickly realized this and acted on a sudden inspiration without hesitation.
He drank a speed potion, instantly increasing his speed by 50% for three minutes.
Boom, boom, boom!
Lava Behemoth's lava corrosion spewed torrents of magma in John's direction.
The surrounding smaller monsters were reduced to black ash, but John swiftly dodged out of the way!
The icy wind from the Frost Giant howled, sweeping towards him again.
The smaller monsters caught in the wind turned into ice shards, shattering into crystalline fragments upon impact with the ground.
The sunlight reflecting off the ice created a beautiful yet cruel spectacle.
John skillfully maneuvered, darting through the swarm of smaller monsters, with the elite monsters' skills missing him but decimating the surrounding enemies.
The once densely packed area of small monsters was now cleared, thanks to the elite monsters' relentless attacks.
Those on the walls watched John's agile movements in awe, drawing sharp breaths.
Yet, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and relief.
This was their commander; no matter the danger, as long as he was there, they believed no harm would come to them.
With the small monsters being cleared out by the elite monsters, the pressure on those atop the walls significantly decreased.
They relaxed slightly and resumed eliminating the remaining monsters.
The six elite monsters were now being played by John, spinning in circles.
Wherever they went, the smaller monsters were annihilated.
This brought some relief to those on the battlements, but it also made them even more tense.
The six elite monsters, frustrated by their inability to hit John, became even more enraged.
They started unleashing massive area-of-effect attacks in their fury.
Even though John was incredibly fast, one mistake could lead to dire consequences.
If John were to fall outside the walls, there would be no way to rescue him.
"Full-speed attack on the elite monsters! Distract them and give John a chance!" Archibald commanded decisively.
Without hesitation, everyone began targeting the elite monsters.
Initially, they had focused on the smaller monsters, but it became clear that John was more effective at clearing them out by leading the elite monsters around.
Their job now was to support John by attacking the elite monsters.
Despite John's speed, there was always a risk of something going wrong.
One mistake could mean disaster, so they couldn't afford to take any chances.
In an instant, all their skills were directed at the six elite monsters.
While the earth-based monsters had terrifyingly high defenses, the area-of-effect attacks still forced them to lose a bit of health.
Though minimal, the cumulative effect was significant.
The fire-based and ice-based monsters, however, took more substantial damage from the attacks.
John's maneuvering kept the six monsters from catching him, allowing the battlements to focus their fire and gradually wear down the elite monsters.
The Frost Giant, already slow, now found it even harder to keep up with John.
It stopped in its tracks and let out a long, piercing howl.
In that instant, frost flowers began to spread rapidly around it, a visible manifestation of its power.
Both Frost Giants cast their spells simultaneously!
The rapid spread of frost made everyone around feel a deep sense of dread.
But John quickly noticed that the Lava Behemoth's speed seemed to slow slightly due to the Frost Giant's spell!
Similarly, the golem avoided the area around the Lava Behemoth, not daring to throw its stones there.
John had seen one of the golem's stones accidentally fall into the lava, instantly turning to ash without any chance of recovery.
Indeed!
Even in the face of a monster siege, there was still a chance to survive!
These three types of monsters had attributes that countered each other.
If he played his cards right, he could potentially make the monsters turn on each other.
This method would be much quicker than trying to kill the monsters directly.
With this plan in mind, John didn't hesitate and charged directly toward the Frost Giant.
"What is he doing?!"
Archibald gritted his teeth, clutching his staff so tightly that he almost jumped down himself.
He knew that the Frost Giant was a control-type monster.
If John got caught in the frost, his speed would be drastically reduced, and his body temperature would drop rapidly, potentially turning him into an ice sculpture.
John's ability to outrun the six elite monsters was due to his incredible speed.
If that slowed, the consequences were unimaginable!
Everyone else was equally anxious!
Rosalind kept her eyes fixed on John's direction, her grip tightening around her staff.
He was too far away… from her position, she couldn't cast any skills to reach him!
She had numerous support skills, but all of them had casting ranges.
Staying on the wall, was she supposed to watch John march to his death?
Rosalind bit her lip hard.
For those who carry the firewood for the masses, they must not freeze to death in the snowstorm!
But she couldn't go down.
If something happened to her outside, it could further complicate John's situation.
The best they could do was take care of themselves and not create additional problems for John.
If they could provide any buff, that would be ideal.
If not, they couldn't force it.
No, there has to be a way!
There has to be…
John sped towards the Frost Giant.
The closer he got, the colder the air became, and the surrounding smaller monsters had all turned into ice sculptures.
He could feel his speed slowing down, and behind him, the stone attacks continued!
Boom, boom, boom!
The golem's stones crashed into the ground, creating massive craters.
But John, with his sharp serpentine movements, managed to dodge the attacks.
However, the Lava Behemoth was close on his heels.
In front of him was the bone-chilling Frost Giant, while behind him was the scorching Lava Behemoth.
John felt the true meaning of being caught between ice and fire!
The nearer he got to the Frost Giant, the more his limbs felt numb with cold, and his speed continued to drop.
He barely dodged the stone attack from behind.
Just a little bit closer!
