Boom!
Once the two massive ck and purple figures shed, a loud rumbling sound reverberated throughout the cavern. After the ck figure was momentarily shaken, it was knocked back by the Amethyst Orc that pushed with all its might.
Since the Amethyst Orc was a Thunder Element Melee-type Boss, its closebat abilities were superior to the Fighter-type Cerberus.
Hence, Cerberus suffered a small defeat during their first sh.
However, the Amethyst Orc did not have any significant advantage against Cerberus.
The moment Cerberus was knocked back, it immediately opened all three of its mouths widely, and a red, ck as well as blue ray of destructive elemental magic was fired.
Qin Ruo was greatly shocked.
Triple Elemental Magic!
It was simultaneously releasing three different single magic attacks!
‘F*ck! It’s so overpowered!’
“Defend!”
Qin Ruo instantly gave hismand to the Amethyst Orc that immediately assumed a defensive stance as his purple Combat Aura was activated. Qin Ruo almost pped himself on the forehead in dismay when he noticed the Amethyst Orc crossing his arms as a defensive stance. It was used to block physical attacks and defend against fire, water, as well as dark magic attacks.
‘What the heck is that? Even though mymanding skills are inadequate, that’s just too pathetic. Shouldn’t a warrior use Charge to dodge attacks in this sort of situation? Huh, it seems like this guy can use Combat Aura, but this doesn’t seem right. Usually, Orcs should be using Berserk, and how is it possible that it can use Combat Aura?’
While Qin Ruo’s train of thought was a total mess, the Amethyst Orc was getting hit by the three magic spells concurrently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!

<i>Block sessful, attack neutralized. Amethyst Shield durability reduced by 30 %</i>

<i>Block sessful, attack neutralized. Amethyst Shield durability reduced by 56 %</i>

<i>Block failed, Amethyst Shield canceled. Cooldown time until reactivation is seven seconds!</i>
<i></i>
<i>The Amethyst Orc has received 472 Damage!</i>
<i></i>
<i>Inflicted with 3 seconds of Corrosive Damage, 100 Damage per second!</i>
Qin Ruo could not bear to witness the Amethyst Orc get pulverized by the three magic spells, but continuous unexpected notifications caused him to be overjoyed. Even though the Amethyst Orc had received 772 Damage from Cerberus’ counterattack, this amount of HP loss was nothing for a Tier 5 Boss of its caliber.
The orcs were beastlike monsters with about 100,000 HP.
Qin Ruo was even more surprised about the Amethyst Shield, which was mentioned in the system notification. It was able to block attacks continuously as long as its durability was not diminished. Moreover, its cooldown time was only seven seconds.
Qin Ruo anticipated that the Amethyst Orc could probablyst much longer in the battle.
While he was still thinking about it, the Amethyst Orc had already prepared itself for another assault.
Charge!
The Amethyst Orc could be seen dashing towards Cerberus at lightning speed, swinging its arm and brandishing itsrge Amethyst de to sh Cerberus’ chest.
ng!
An intangible ck barrier suddenly appeared and blocked the Amethyst Orc’s attack!
<i>Target hit. 163 Damage dealt to Cerberus’ Barrier, and 276 Damage dealt to Cerberus!</i>
‘Barrier?’
Qin Ruo was still in a daze when the Amethyst Orc was knocked back by an explosion caused by the Barrier’s magic spell at close range. As the ring of mes pushed the Amethyst Orc’s massive body back, arge wind de shed its body, and purple blood began to stter amid the gale-force wind.
It received another 400 Damage.
Qin Ruo furrowed his brows, estimating how fast the Amethyst Orc’s HP was being drained. After he gave it another set of simplemands, he quickly dashed towards the Dimensional Portal.
Although he had little knowledge of the Amethyst Orc’sbat capabilities, with skills such like the Amethyst Shield, Charge, and Barrage Attacks, it should be able to at least endure more than two minutes against Cerberus.
After he gave the Amethyst Orc themands to hold off Cerberus, Qin Ruo activated his dual defense magic and dashed towards the corner of the Dimensional Portal. He took a deep breath and squatted down. A purple light glowed visibly from his palms as he began to get busy with gathering the Herbs.
Roar!
Qin Ruo’s actions clearly made Cerberus upset because it increased its attacking speed and started to fire spells at the Amethyst Orc.
Although the Amethyst Orc was clearly at a disadvantage, it faithfully followed Qin Ruo’smands. By using Charge, it had sessfully dodged Cerberus’ barrage of attacks for the first time andnded three shes on it with its thunderous might.
After three consecutive shes, Cerberus staggered to its feet because it was pushed several meters back. ck liquid sttered on the floor from its wound after its Barrier was shattered. If Qin Ruo had not been paying full attention to the mysterious Herb before him, he would have noticed the bizarre phenomenon urring on the floor around Cerberus.
As the ck liquid dripped to the ground, three different phenomena took ce. Some of the liquid turned into solid ck ice, while some of it corroded the ground, turning it pitch ck and releasing a burnt smell into the air. The most distinct phenomenon was the liquid turning into red hot me as if the liquid itself was mmable.
Both of the fighting individuals did not pay attention to these urrences at all.
Cerberus was greatly provoked when its head was injured, and it gazed upon the troublesome opponent before it. Cerberus roared in rage as it bared its fangs.
Roar!
All three of Cerberus’ heads had bellowed simultaneously!
Another overpowered Triple Elemental Magic Spell was cast!
As a blue light shed, another Barrier was formed around Cerberus, and ck sticky liquid suddenly appeared beneath the Amethyst Orc’s feet. The liquid was like tentacles made out of strong adhesive, covering the Amethyst Orc’s feet.
While the middle head of Cerberus remained still and silent, the Fire Element in the air gathered above the Amethyst Orc at a tremendous speed and formed arge fireball with a radius of around of one meter.
The zing fireball continued to gather more of the Fire Element...
It was simr to Qin Ruo’s Compressed Frost Bullet, but the spell, which was cast by a Tier 5 Elite Miniboss such as Cerberus, felt even more powerful and terrifying.
The Amethyst Orc also felt anxious due to the ghastly magic contained in the fireball. It howled furiously, trying to break free from the sticky slime. He attempted to escape from its predicament and stop Cerberus from charging its magic spell.
However, the sticky slime was a Tier 5 Shadow spell, and its only purpose was to restrain, not deal any damage. Hence, it was extremely hard to break free from it. Just as the Amethyst Orc was about to activate its Amethyst Shield to withstand the destructive attack, a brown figure dashed at lightning speed through the sticky slime beneath the Amethyst Orc’s feet.
There was a golden sh!
Swoosh!
Once the dark sticky slime was neutralized, the Amethyst Orc’s feet were freed, and it roared in excitement as he immediately charged towards Cerberus who was still charging its magic spell.
Although Thunder attribute monsters possessed incredible movement speed, Poochie moved even faster!
As its brown figure shed by, six brilliant shes werended on the empty space above Cerberus.
Crack!
The Barrier formed by the water elemental head of Cerberus immediately shattered, turning into blue flecks that disappeared.
What followed next was a lightning-fast punch from the Amethyst Orc. Itnded on Cerberus’ middle head, which had lost its protection from the Barrier.
While Cerberus shrieked in pain, its huge body was sent flying as it rolled backward.
***
Qin Ruo was on the other side of the battlefield. He had been feeling anxious at the corner of the Dimensional Portal but he now breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Phew, luckily Poochie made it on time. If the unknown Tier 5 or Tier 6 AoE spell hadnded, the Amethyst Orc would’ve received considerable damage and my Gathering would’ve had to be forcefully canceled.
‘I really can’t catch a break from this damn Cerberus even though I sent someone to keep it busy.’
Qin Ruo cursed for a moment before he resumed his focus on the shimmering blue herb, which resembled a beautiful starry sky. He continued working busily with purple light emitting from his hands.
‘I have to increase my pace! Who knows what else might happen.’
Unfortunately, trouble always came around. Qin Ruo just had not noticed it yet!
It was a group of unweed visitors who had just entered through the waterfall entrance, but they did not take any action yet. Their faces convulsed as they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
“What-What exactly is going on here?”
Brony and the rest of the guys had trouble believing what was happening right before their eyes. They could only stutter in disbelief while they watched two huge monsters in the heat of battle.
The scene of an orc who was evenly matched with Cerberus had rendered them speechless.
Meanwhile, on the other side, near the Dimensional Portal, a yer was casually squatting down facing the other way. If it had not been for his Frostbarrier, which was faintly visible, they would have thought that he was insane.
A few secondster, one of the guys asked Brony, “Should we go over there?”
Brony was silent.
When he saw the golden treasure chest, he nodded lightly in agreement. But, as he looked around, he noticed that nobody had moved at all.
Everyone was filled with shock and amazement as they looked at the two fighting Boss monsters and the mysterious Aquamancer.
‘Go there?
‘Looking for trouble with such a strong yer is clearly asking for death!’
