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

The dark red singularity of the Burning Star Return to Nothingness Arrow flew towards the area where the warlocks were located.

Four demon warlocks stood at the back of the plaza, gathering their power. The light of the Chaos Fireball had already appeared in their hands.

But it was too late.

boom!

The domain expanded, and a dark red sphere with a diameter of fifteen meters swallowed the four warlocks and the three Hellfire Vanguards beside them.

Three seconds to multiply, collapse, and explode.

The four warlocks were instantly reduced to low health by the explosion, and the three vanguards also lost two-thirds of their health.

"Ink Mark! Frost Nova!"

With a wave of the Inkmark Staff, icy blue light spread out, covering the low-health warlocks. Although it only slowed them down for less than two seconds, it was enough.

Li Wu fired four arrows in quick succession, the Ice and Fire Spiral Arrows targeting each enemy individually.

None of the four warlocks survived more than three seconds.

The remaining monsters were alerted. Five Hellfire Vanguards charged from the front, while four Abyss Guards flanked them from both sides.

And those two—the two that Ye Feng mentioned.

Li Wu saw it clearly.

They were a full size larger than the Abyss Guards, their entire bodies covered in a layer of flowing green fel energy armor. Each wielded a double-edged halberd, and the ground trembled with every step they took.

【Fel Warrior (Lord)】

[Level: LV50]

[HP: 350000/350000]

350,000 blood.

There are 50,000 more than the previous Abyss Guardian.

And there were two of them.

"Leave the vanguard and the guards to me!" Li Wu quickly made a judgment. "Hua Zitong, Ye Feng, you two pull those two lords apart! Hold them off for as long as you can!"

"clear!"

Hua Zitong and Ye Feng immediately split up and took action.

Hua Zitong charged towards the fel warrior on the left, swinging her sword repeatedly, but the damage was still pitifully low, though she managed to draw aggro. The warrior turned and chased after her, its halberd striking the ground and exploding into a cloud of green flames.

Hua Zitong moved nimbly, using the scattered stone pillars in the square to dodge attacks and pull the warrior further and further away.

Night Wind emerged from the shadows and struck the warrior on the right on the back of the head with a blunt object. Although it only stunned him for less than half a second, it was enough for him to turn and chase after him.

The night wind disappeared into the shadows, and the warrior brandished his halberd, searching everywhere, but he couldn't find him no matter what he did.

The two lords were temporarily isolated.

Li Wu was facing five vanguards and four guards.

Open the multi-arrow field.

The three ice and fire spiral arrows fired in one go created a crossfire network in the narrow space.

The vanguards had high health, but they couldn't withstand Li Wu's arrows hitting their weak points every time. One every fifteen seconds, all five vanguards fell within a minute and a half.

Needless to say, the four guards' shields were useless against the implosion of the Ice and Fire Spiral Arrows—the arrows were coming from the side.

Three minutes later, all nine elites were wiped out.

Li Wu's mana value dropped to 12,000.

"Magic Tide Arrow".

Blue energy is starting to recover.

But the two Fel Warriors are still alive.

"Hua Zitong! Are you managing over there?"

"I can hold on! But this thing's attack range is too big, I'm almost cornered!" Hua Zitong's voice was a little hurried.

Give me thirty seconds!

He turned and ran towards Hua Zitong.

The evil warrior was wielding a double-edged halberd, chasing after Hua Zitong. Hua Zitong weaved between the stone pillars, but the warrior's attack range was too large; each sweep of the halberd covered an arc of five or six meters, cutting off half of each stone pillar.

"I'm back." Li Wu drew his bow.

The Ice and Fire Spiral Arrow was aimed at the gaps in the fel armor on the back of the fel warrior.

-5012!

Implosion!

-11234!

The warrior roared and turned around, its aggro instantly drawn to Li Wu's high damage output.

"Hua Zitong, take a break! Zhuifeng, report your position!"

"General, you've charged up! Halberd raised overhead! Step to the left!"

Li Wu turned to the side, the battle halberd grazing his waist, and the green fel flames scorched a few corners of his clothes.

-0!

I didn't win.

"continue!"

The second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow.

The lord with 350,000 HP was losing 15,000 HP per second in the face of the Ice and Fire Spiral Arrow.

But this thing is much smarter than the Abyss Watcher. It doesn't charge blindly, but uses the length of its halberd to control the distance, and every ten seconds it releases a "Fel Shockwave"—an area-of-effect attack centered on itself within a ten-meter radius.

Each time a shockwave came, Li Wu would use Flash Arrow to create distance, and then continue attacking after the shockwave passed.

One minute and twenty seconds.

The first fel warrior fell to the ground.

"Night Breeze! Lure the second one over!"

"They're here!"

Night Wind emerged from the shadows and hurled a throwing knife at the second warrior. The warrior roared and gave chase.

Li Wu drew his bow to greet them.

Another minute and twenty seconds have passed.

Both lords were wiped out.

The fifth floor is now cleaned.

From the moment you step into the fifth floor until all the monsters are gone—six minutes.

Li Wu stood in the center of the square, looking at the demon corpses scattered all over the ground, and let out a long sigh.

He still had over nine thousand mana left. Enough, but not abundant.

"Alright." He turned to look at the massive iron gate. "There's only one left."

All eyes were on the iron gate.

Zhui Feng swallowed hard.

"And behind that... is that the Demon Overlord?"

"Yes," Li Wu said.

Night Breeze walked to the iron gate and reached out to touch the facade.

"I can't push this door open."

"Of course you can't push it open." Hua Zitong stepped forward and pointed to the demonic runes on the door. "These runes are a sealing array, which requires a large amount of energy to be injected from the outside to open."

"How much?" Inkmark asked.

Hua Zitong glanced at the density of the runes and gave a number: "Approximately... 10,000 mana points."

Ten thousand.

Li Wu still has over nine thousand.

It's enough, but if you use all your mana on opening the door, you won't have enough mana to fight the boss after you go inside.

"Let's go back to Lan first," Li Wu said.

He unleashed a magical tidal arrow and then sat down.

"Everyone check your gear, take your medicine and get back to normal. We'll rest here for five minutes."

Five minutes later, Li Wu's mana was fully restored.

enough.

He walked to the iron gate and placed his left hand on the core of the rune array on the gate.

Ten thousand points of mana poured out.

The runes on the iron gate began to light up one by one, and the green light spread along the patterns until it covered the entire gate.

Rumbling--

The iron gate slowly opened to both sides.

An intense, suffocating aura of evil energy surged out from the crack in the door.

-150! -150! -150!

The environmental damage has doubled.

"Holy Healing." Li Wu cast a healing spell on himself, then shot a healing arrow at each of the other four people.

The iron gate was fully opened.

Behind the door was a huge circular space, at least one hundred meters in diameter. The dome was invisible; all that could be seen was countless green orbs of fel energy suspended in the endless darkness.

In the very center of the circular space, a huge figure stood with its back to them.

It stood before a throne made of demonic bones, over twenty meters tall. Its entire body was covered in heavy armor interwoven with dark red and emerald green, with raging fel flames burning on its shoulder armor. In its left hand it held a massive shield three times larger than the shield of the Abyss Guard, and in its right hand it gripped a strangely shaped, serrated greatsword.

It did not turn around.

But a deep, metallic voice came from its direction.

"It's finally here."

Li Wu drew back the arcane bow.
