"Elemental Fire Rain!"

  At this very moment, Guinevere took the initiative. She lifted a silver magic cudgel and with a gentle wave of her single hand, a massive circular magic array materialized directly above the head of the Champion Goblin!

  The Goblin Shaman promptly sensed the impending peril. It brandished its magic staff, and a purple light shield instantaneously enveloped them.

  Elemental Fire Rain was an area-of-effect attack skill that incessantly rained down fire in the same spot for 10 seconds. At the third tier, each fireball was equivalent to 50% of the current total attack power of the mage.

  Even more formidable was the fact that each of these fireballs was accompanied by a light arrow! Double elemental damage! The magic cudgel in Guinevere's grasp was no ordinary article. It was a magic cudgel of purple quality, boasting a remarkably high increase in both magic damage and critical strike rate.

  It possessed penetration and the capacity for critical strikes. Each fireball calculated the critical strike independently, as did the light arrow. Although the damage inflicted by a single fireball and light arrow might seem negligible, the Champion Goblin had a colossal physique. If it remained stationary and endured the full ten seconds of this onslaught, it would suffer grievous harm even if it managed to survive.

  "We mustn't allow it to defend itself or flee!" Kenley was acutely aware in his heart that this was an opportune moment to vanquish the Champion Goblin in a single blow!

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Countless fireballs crashed onto the Shaman's shield without delay. Simultaneously, Anya was not idle. She promptly drew her bow and nocked an arrow, firing three arrows with each shot and relentlessly assailing the shield of the Champion Goblin.

  The Cleric continuously bestowed blessings and auras upon the group, while the Priest employed various skills to augment the damage output. Fess followed closely behind, positioning himself on the opposite side of Kenley, hoisting his shield to aid Kenley in repelling the Champion Goblin's counterattack.

  Confronted with the formidable concentrated firepower of the group, with a resounding bang, within three seconds, the light shield was shattered into fragments!

  The health of these two creatures immediately diminished by one-third.

  "Damned humans!" The Goblin Shaman flew into a rage and wasted no time. It brandished its withered wooden staff once more, and a purple radiance flared up again. A terrifying ripple swept towards everyone in an instant!

  "Corrupting Ripple!" Kenley instantly recognized this move.

  [Corrupting Ripple], a third-tier dark magic skill. Effect: Emit a corrupting curse in a 180-degree arc forward within a range of 30 meters, reducing the maximum health of all cursed targets by 50%! It should be noted that this is a reduction of the maximum health, not the current health value, and the duration is 30 seconds.

  This move was a unique enhancement of the boss. The Corrupting Ripple employed by players could only reduce the maximum health by 25%, which was significantly weaker compared to that of the boss.

  "Jump!" Kenley then sprang into the air, executing a double jump without hesitation.

  The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  Fess, standing beside him, did not hesitate upon hearing the command and immediately followed Kenley's lead and jumped.

  "What did you say?!" Only Anya, this scatterbrained girl, remained in a daze.

  "I told you to jump!" Since Kenley had executed a double jump, he was able to speak while hovering in mid-air. However, this scatterbrained girl Anya reacted far too sluggishly.

  "Ah!" With this momentary delay, Anya was struck by the Corrupting Ripple.

  With a piercing scream, a multitude of purple patches immediately manifested on Anya's body, resembling glowing eczema and appearing extremely terrifying.

  Kenley could only furrow his brows and focus on the present situation. Fortunately, the Corrupting Ripple did not directly cause death. Had it been a lethal move, Anya would likely have perished.

  The Priest and the Cleric were standing slightly farther away from Anya. Upon witnessing Anya's condition, they managed to jump up just in time, narrowly evading the attack unscathed.

  Since Tia was a brawler and possessed the ability to perform a double jump, she immediately followed suit and jumped as well.

  Guinevere did not jump but instead utilized the equipment skill "Spatial Shift" of the Crown of the Holy World, barely managing to dodge the attack.

  Nevertheless, the Champion Goblin was not faring well either. It was still enduring the damage from the Elemental Fire Rain. Seizing the opportunity while everyone was in mid-air, it attempted to escape from the attack range of the elemental fireballs.

  But how could Kenley permit it to succeed!

  "Bloom!" Kenley immediately executed the first move of the White Flower Phase, and his figure instantaneously teleported to the side where the Champion Goblin intended to retreat.

  "Sword Moon!"

  The Sword Moon emitted a sword qi with a range of eight meters. Coupled with Kenley's double cooldown ability, two waves of sword qi, one on the left and one on the right, effectively blocked the Champion Goblin's escape route.

  The Champion Goblin issued a fierce roar and lifted its enormous steel blade, commencing a frenzied spin on the spot!

  "Sword Bladestorm!" This was a unique skill of the Berserker, which was unleashed by expending Rp. Each slash was equivalent to 75% of the total attack power. Moreover, this move belonged to the realm of swordsmanship rather than being a typical skill and would also grow in power as the rank increased.

  As expected of the Champion Goblin, it indeed possessed considerable prowess.

  However, this behemoth had also committed an egregiously foolish error. Despite its continuous spinning, it remained firmly within the attack range of the elemental fireballs, and its high-speed rotation rendered the Goblin Shaman unable to cast magic skills properly.

  "Tia, Blood Prison!" Kenley commanded without hesitation.

  "Yes, Master!"

  As soon as the words left his mouth, with a swish, a blood-red prison cage immediately encircled the Champion Goblin.

  Although the Champion Goblin continued to spin, and the attack range of its massive blade was indeed extensive, Kenley and Fess were completely unable to approach it.

  Nonetheless, Guinevere, Tia, and Anya were assailing it with all their might.

  Kenley took a quick glance and saw that the opponent's HP had dropped below 1000 points, and both the Elemental Fire Rain and the Blood Prison were on the verge of expiration. Now was the optimal moment to strike!

  Very well, this behemoth was now in a complete frenzy and had entered the second stage. They could not afford to give it an opportunity to turn the tables. If Kenley remembered correctly, the second stage of the Champion Goblin was extremely formidable. Once it entered the berserk mode, it would be immune to all control skills. If that happened and it rampaged through the group, one or two individuals might even lose their lives.

  "Potential Burst, Physical Acceleration, Immovable Fortress." Layer upon layer, Kenley continuously applied buffs to himself.

  "Three-Blade Swift Slash!" A fierce glint flashed in Kenley's eyes.

  Six terrifying sword lights swept across once more. With a swish! The colossal body, as massive as a hill, crashed to the ground.

  The Goblin Shaman, on the other hand, was unharmed. However, it had sustained numerous fireball attacks earlier, and its health had long since dropped below half.

  "Elbow Strike!" Just then, a figure flashed by. It was Tia.

  She stunned the Goblin Shaman with a direct elbow strike. Then, her blood claws swiped across, and the lacerated wound immediately bled with scarlet blood.

  With a series of proficient moves, Tia dispatched the Goblin Shaman, which was already on the brink of death.

  Her movements were as smooth and fluid as flowing water!
