I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"roar!"

With an even more furious roar, the rampaging molten core reappeared from the lava.

It was smaller than before, but the flames on its body burned even more fiercely. Clearly, the previous mechanism had been broken, causing it to go berserk.

"It's out! Everyone get ready!" Steel Shield immediately leaped up from the ground and raised the tower shield again.

The joy of surviving the ordeal was quickly replaced by the tense atmosphere of battle, and everyone was back in combat mode.

But this time, the team configuration has undergone a slight change.

Behind the steel shield, in addition to the four players, there was also a sturdy figure, two meters tall, whose body was made of rock.

Stone golem!

"Stone golem, go, hold it off!" Li Wu issued a new command.

Upon receiving the order, the stone golem immediately took heavy steps and charged towards the rampaging molten core.

"roar!"

When the rampaging Molten Core saw the rocky mass rushing towards it, it raised its massive lava arm and slammed it down with a powerful punch.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the stone golem was knocked back, a crack appeared on its body, and a damage number appeared above its head.

-450!

"Such high defense!" Arcane Light couldn't help but exclaim.

You should know that the BOSS's punch just now would have taken away nearly a thousand health points even for a fully armed steel shield.

But this stone golem only lost less than five hundred!

That's incredible defense!

Although the stone golem was repelled, it showed no fear. After regaining its footing, it immediately swung its rocky fists and smashed them at the BOSS's legs, successfully drawing the BOSS's aggro.

"Great opportunity! Let's go!"

Seeing this, Steel Shield immediately roared and, together with Hua Zitong, flanked the BOSS from the left and right.

With the stone golem acting as a super tank in front, the pressure on the steel shield was greatly reduced.

He no longer needs to withstand every attack from the BOSS, and can move around more calmly, looking for gaps in the BOSS's attacks to counterattack.

The team's formation has become more three-dimensional and flexible.

With the Stone Golem as the main tank and the Steel Shield as the off-tank, the two tanks take turns absorbing damage, providing a completely safe output environment for the backline heroes Li Wu, Arcane Light, and Beast Friend.

"【Frost Nova】!"

The Arcane Light Staff was waved, and an ice-blue aura spread out from the BOSS, applying a slowing effect to it.

"[Shadow Bite]!"

The cheetah, a friend of the beasts, seized the opportunity and bit the BOSS's ankle hard, causing a series of bleeding damage.

Li Wu, on the other hand, has completely transformed into a mobile artillery platform.

[Fusion Piercing Arrow]!

[Chain Lightning Arrow]!

Various high-damage skills were unleashed relentlessly towards the core of the BOSS.

The BOSS's health was dropping rapidly at a visible rate.

Seventy percent...

Sixty percent...

Fifty-five percent...

The entire battle was smooth and seamless.

The three members of Steel Shield became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, and the more they fought, the more unreal it felt.

Is this really an exploration of a highly difficult hidden dungeon?

Why does it feel... easier than playing a normal dungeon?

They were previously members of the Flower Language Guild, considered elite members, and had raided many level 25 dungeons with the team.

Every time we cleared land, it was torture.

Commanders roared themselves hoarse, raid members frantically moved around, healers shouted themselves hoarse about being out of mana, tanks could fall at any moment, and wiping seven or eight times was commonplace.

But now?

The commander (Li Wu) was excessively calm, and when he did speak, it was always a precise instruction.

The raid members (they themselves) only need to follow instructions and mindlessly deal damage; they don't need to worry about over-aggroing or the healers not keeping up.

Because the main tank (Stone Golem) hardly loses any health, and even if it does, the super healer (Li Wu) can instantly restore the entire raid to full health with a single group heal.

This is practically sightseeing!

And it's the highest-level VIP group!

"Boss, this stone golem is too strong!" Steel Shield shouted while blocking the BOSS's attacks. "It's tougher than me! Maybe I should just give up being the tank and let it do the work!"

"Exactly!" Beast Friend chimed in. "Boss, your summoned creatures are way stronger than mine! Can you teach me?"

He looked at the towering stone golem in front of him, then at the little kitten beside him that could only scratch his itch, and felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Why is there such a big difference between summoned creatures?

"Focus on fighting monsters," Li Wu replied calmly.

"Yes!" The two immediately shut their mouths and focused intently on the battle.

Just then, Hua Zitong's voice rang out again.

"Attention! The boss's health is about to drop to 50%! Prepare to split!"

Everyone felt a chill and immediately became extremely alert.

The most disgusting splitting mechanism is coming!

Sure enough, the moment the BOSS's health dropped precisely to fifty percent, it let out another painful roar.

Its enormous lava body began to tremble violently, then split in two, becoming two Molten Children, each half the size but identical in appearance.

Son of Molten Core (LV32, Elite)

Son of Molten Core (LV32, Elite)

"Here they come!" Steel Shield immediately held the Tower Shield horizontally in front of him, ready to take the aggro of two monsters at the same time.

"Stone golem, attack the right side!" Li Wu commanded.

The stone golem instantly charged towards the Molten Child on the right, punching it away and successfully drawing its aggro.

Li Wu immediately ordered, "Everyone, focus fire on the one the steel shield is holding! Finish it quickly!"

At a command, all firepower was instantly unleashed upon the Molten Child, which was tightly bound by the steel shield.

Frost, lightning, arrows, sword light...

The light of various skills kept exploding on the Molten Child's body.

Its health points dropped rapidly.

"Your health is down to 10 percent! Keep going!" Arcane Light shouted.

"It's going to die!"

Under the combined fire of the crowd, the first Molten Child let out a wail and collapsed to the ground, turning into a pool of cooled lava.

"We did it!" the Beast Friend shouted excitedly.

But Hua Zitong immediately interrupted him: "Don't be too happy yet! Look at the other one!"

Everyone immediately turned to look.

Suddenly, another Molten Child stopped and roared to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the flames on its body surged violently, and a powerful energy wave spread out.

The magma that had just cooled down nearby was drawn back to life by this energy and reformed into the form of the Molten Child!

Resurrected!

"Holy crap! He really will come back to life!" Steel Shield exclaimed in disbelief.

"We must kill them both simultaneously!" Hua Zitong's tone was grave. "Their respawn time is approximately ten seconds. We must eliminate both of them within ten seconds!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned somewhat grim.

In ten seconds, two elite monsters with considerable health were killed simultaneously.

This poses a huge challenge to the team's output capabilities.

"One more time!" Li Wu's tone remained calm. "This time, everyone listen to my commands and control the output!"

"good!"

The battle has begun again.

This time, the team changed their strategy.

Instead of mindlessly focusing fire on one of them, under Li Wu's command, they simultaneously reduced the health of both Molten Children.

"Arcane Light, hit the one on the left."

"Hua Zitong, go to the right."

"Steel Shield, Stone Golem, you two, separate them! Don't let them get close!"

Li Wu precisely directed the battlefield, constantly issuing commands.

Under his command, the two Molten Children were positioned at opposite ends of the arena, and their health was kept at a relatively balanced level.

This process was a huge test of Li Wu's calculation and command abilities.

He not only had to calculate the health of the two bosses, but also observe the output rhythm of each teammate to ensure that the rate of health loss on both sides was basically the same.

Time passed, second by second.

Finally, under Li Wu's precise control, the health of both Molten Children dropped to around five percent, the kill threshold.

"Now!" A glint flashed in Li Wu's eyes. "Everyone, full firepower! Attack the left flank first!"

At a command, the already prepared crowd unleashed their strongest burst skills, all at once, at the low-health Molten Child on the left.

boom!

The Molten Child didn't even have time to utter a wail before it was instantly killed.

"Switch fire! To the right!" Li Wu's voice didn't pause at all.

Everyone immediately turned their guns around and focused their attention on the Molten Child on the right.

Meanwhile, at this moment, the spot on the left where the Molten Child died was already showing signs of resurrection.

There are only ten seconds left!

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" the friend of the beast shouted urgently.

"It's too late!" Arcane Light's heart sank as he watched the resurrection light grow brighter and brighter.

Most of their skills were still on cooldown, and the remaining damage was simply not enough to kill the other one in a few seconds.

Is it destined to fail again?

At this critical moment, Li Wu finally made a move.

The arcane bow in his hand was slowly drawn back.

What's gathered on the bowstring is no longer an ordinary energy arrow.

Instead, it was a dark red energy singularity radiating an aura of destruction!
