"Here co the little minions again."
As Ree Shil’s gaze went around the stone pillar, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
In front of the lava lake, he saw three Stone-eating Beast Soldiers standing there.
At a glance, they looked much stronger than the minions in Level 5.
Even the gatekeeper monster in the eighth level seed slightly inferior.
But strangely enough, there was no sight of the Boss.
What was striking were the thick chains wrapped around several stone pillars of the lava lake.
Even from afar, he could see the strange energy patterns drawn on the chains.
It seed like so kind of rune, with unknown effects.
"Not sure what kind of creature the Boss is since I can’t see it."
After observing for a few more minutes, he still couldn’t figure it out.
Eventually, Ree Shil gave up and directly walked towards the other side.
The Danger Red Circle for the minions was laid out there, stepping in would set it off.
[Squeak! x3]
As soon as his feet stepped in, the other party roared angrily.
They raised their stone spears one after another, warning him not to approach.
Buzz!
Then, a blue light pillar descended, and the card table spread out.
[Battle 1/2]
As expected, the words were suspended above the card table. It was another segnted ga.
"The Boss battle should use the sa deck used before."
To be on the safe side, Ree Shil placed the lineup used in the fifth level for the elite battle.
Giant Zombie, Giant Zombie, Giant Zombie
Ugly Man, Monkey, Iron stick
[Three Flags], Dancing Lady, Blade Mantis
Positionless, Sheep Rabbit, Positionless
Whoosh! x3
Projections of three Stone-eating Beasts appeared on the card table.
"Hehe, not too strong."
Ree Shil looked at them and laughed.
These three cards were identical:
[Imperial Guard Stone-eating Beast]
Balance, Attack 30, 300/300
[Imperial Guard Spear Technique Passive]: When an ally of the Imperial Guard Stone-eating Beast attacks the sa target, its Attack Power increases by 5.
Honestly, these three cards were sowhat of a counter to the Giant Lost Demon.
Since it occupied 3 card positions, any action taken by the opponent would automatically be concentrated on it.
This ans every Imperial Guard Stone-eating Beast has an attack power of 30 5 5.
As usual, Giant Zombie would [Defense] first.
[Squeak! x3]
-15, -15, -15
The three Stone-eating Beasts on the opposite side ca stabbing with their spears. This damage could be completely absorbed.
Ree Shil didn’t use any skills, just focusing on normal attacks combined with [Heroic Spirit Strikes].
Within two rounds, two Stone-eating Beasts were eliminated.
He left the last one with low health un-killed, waiting for the Sword Dance Girl to charge up fully.
By the fifth round, when the Giant Lost Demon had only 120 health points left, he ordered all the cards to concentrate their fire.
As they took down the last Stone-eating Beast, their side also gained a 20-point attack bonus from [Breakthrough - Winner’s Certificate ★★].
"Great, most likely starting the Boss fight at its peak."
He was pleased with this situation.
Next, it was ti for the Boss to appear.
Boom!
The entire card table began to tremble, even making Ree Shil feel like he could hardly stand.
The lava lake shook violently, causing waves upon waves.
As the magma waves hit the shore, they left behind uneven traces as a result of the scorching.
Splash!
Imdiately afterwards, a colossal object resembling a head erged from the lava lake.
This creature’s body seed to have rged with the magma itself, or perhaps its body was originally made of magma.
It didn’t have any intricate outline, looking like a lump of magma.
It vaguely seed to have eyes and a mouth.
"A lava elental?"
Seeing its appearance, Ree Shil thought of the unford Elental Life Clan.
Anyway, it didn’t look like a Stone-eating Beast.
[Roar!!!]
Before he had a chance to check the card face of the massive creature, he saw its head rise, as if the whole body was trying to crawl out of the lava lake.
Bang!
It promptly crashed into an invisible barrier, its body halted.
So, it quickly got pushed back and could only expose its head again.
Apparently, the chains wrapped around the stone pillars in the lake had an effect. Right now, the runes on their surface were glowing.
However, the massive creature didn’t seem to give up. It appeared to be struggling, and the ground continued to shake violently.
Crack...!
Ree Shil soon saw cracks appearing on the ground nearby.
"Sothing’s not right."
He felt things didn’t seem so simple.
As expected, a few seconds later, the cracks began to concentrate in two locations.
These two spots were the left and right card positions of his first row cards.
Boom!
Imdiately, he saw the ground collapse, and two pillars of magma spurt straight.
[Roar!]
-120, -120
Two points of damage equal to the Giant Zombie’s current health jumped out, and it turned into a blue light being wiped out.
"Huh?"
Ree Shil was stunned on the spot.
The action round hadn’t even started yet, what kind of trickery was this?
He had heard that such a situation should be considered similar to a triggered plot kill chanism in a PVE boss battle.
The next second, two lines of text popped up on the card table:
[Battle 2/2]
[Food Eating Stone Beast extends its tentacles, occupying your card position]
"So it is."
He got an answer right away and imdiately said, "So, you’re the Food Eating Stone Beast, huh?"
"SHISHISHISHOUSHOU, it sounds so difficult to pronounce."
He had heard the na Food Eating Stone Beast in several [incidents].
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Boss of The Tenth Gate.
