Chapter 15 Scorching Meteor

Raging Tides holding his golden tower shield, charged up and used Heroic Strike, attracting one of the manticores, then followed up with a Shield Sweep, single-handedly blocking three of them.

His movements were very agile as well. How could he sit firmly as the chief main tank of the Holy Roman Empire's elite group without some skill?

The three manticores incessantly attacked Raging Tides, damage numbers floating above his head one after another. Streams of white light fell on Raging Tides’ head, his health fluctuating constantly.

With a main tank's defense, he still couldn't withstand such a fierce attack.

The nearby melee classes, including Half-Asleep Fox, quickly came up to share some of the pressure on Raging Tides.

"Watch out for paralysis!"

"Understood!" Raging Tides responded.

In the rear, the mage ranks shone with brilliant light. Some were chanting high-damage spells, while others had already unleashed their magic, bombarding the manticores, the first one blasted away.

Nie Yan circled around to the back of the remaining two manticores, using a Stun and a Vital Strike on one of them.

-103, -123, two damage numbers floated above the manticore's head.

"Damn, what kind of damage is that?" The team members were somewhat stunned. Was this a thief's attack? How could it be stronger than some of the warriors in the team?

In their minds, a warrior's attack was higher than a thief's, and a thief's attack speed was faster than a warrior's; this was common sense. Suddenly seeing such a valiant thief, they were all a little surprised.

Nie Yan's dual daggers had a fierce attack and fast attack speed; he was simply a freak.

Bang, bang, the remaining two manticores fell to the ground one after another. The team coordinated and cooperated neatly, even Nie Yan found it impeccable.

After killing the three manticores, the thirteen manticores behind them all pounced up.

All six warriors went to the front, Half-Asleep Fox being no exception. Behind them were the holy knights, who were also plate armor classes, and thus occasionally acted as warriors. Some well-equipped holy knights even had defensive capabilities no less than warriors.

"Damn, these manticores have such high attacks, Raging Tides, hold off that manticore leader." Half-Asleep Fox was secretly startled, seeing his health drop rapidly. If he was like this, not to mention the others.

The manticore's attack was still somewhat beyond Half-Asleep Fox's imagination, making it difficult for them to cope. Fortunately, several warriors were holding their positions, otherwise, if so many manticores exerted their full combat power, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was obviously inappropriate to measure the difficulty of an expert-level dungeon with a normal dungeon.

"Feng Leng, use Scorching Meteor, or it'll be too late." Half-Asleep Fox called out nervously. The healers were under great pressure, and even the slightest mistake could lead to serious consequences. He had to use his trump card ahead of time.

Scorching Meteor, a Holy magic?

Nie Yan was just about to stop him, but it was too late. The holy word mage named Feng Leng took out a roll of golden magic text and began to chant the spell.

"What a waste, using Holy magic in a place like this." Nie Yan thought with annoyance. If they had Scorching Meteor, when the Manticore King had little health left, such a hit would save a lot of trouble. Now that it had been used, there was no stopping it.

Among the many classifications of magic, the strongest included human Holy magic, giant Kosharte magic, orc fanatic magic, elven Moon God magic, Demonkin black magic, Undead fate magic, and some slightly lower-level magic, such as Elemental Hall magic, etc., full of regional and cultural characteristics, and closely related to the player's faith.

However, the power of these magics was beyond doubt.

Holy magic was also divided into sixteen levels.

Scorching Meteor belonged to the lowest level of Holy magic. Even the lowest level magic was extremely powerful among players. Its magic cooldown time was two natural days. Moreover, casting a Holy magic was a very complicated matter.

First, there must be a Holy magic text. It took nearly an hour to copy the Holy magic of Scorching Meteor onto the magic text and provide the magic text with enough magic to support the spell. An ordinary level one spell required at least a thousand points of magic value. That is to say, a holy word mage like Feng Leng had to input about three bars of magic value to complete a magic text.

At the same time, after casting a Scorching Meteor, one had to wait two natural days before casting it a second time, which showed how complicated it was.

Of course, Holy magic was not something anyone could learn. A Holy magic skill book was currently worth at least one gold coin. Moreover, it wasn't something you could buy just because you had money.

Half-Asleep Fox had Feng Leng cast Scorching Meteor, partly because the situation was more critical, and partly to show Nie Yan his strength and financial resources.

Holy magic was not something every team could find.

Under the fierce attacks of the manticores, Half-Asleep Fox and others retreated steadily, and time passed by.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, after three sets of gestures and a set of syllables, the golden magic text in Feng Leng's hand emitted a brilliant and dazzling light, and scorching clouds gathered in the sky, countless white meteors falling from the sky.

Clang, clang, clang, a burst of meteors rained down on the heads of the many manticores in front.

-302, -321, -301, -310, -310, dazzling numbers floated up, each meteor blooming with dazzling light, like white lotuses, gorgeous and dazzling.

After only three waves of Scorching Meteor, a row of manticores fell, leaving only one manticore leader. The meteors fell on the head of the manticore leader, and after five full waves of meteors, the manticore leader was left with only a sliver of health.

Then more than a dozen other magic spells bombarded the manticore leader, killing it.

If it weren't for this Scorching Meteor skill, it would be extremely difficult for them to deal with the manticores, and they might have been wiped out here.

The ground was covered with the corpses of manticores, and several thieves in Half-Asleep Fox's team went over to clean up the loot.

"How was that spell?" Half-Asleep Fox was slightly smug, but he didn't show it. In his opinion, Nie Yan might not have seen such a powerful spell, and must have had his eyes opened.

Nie Yan said with a wry smile, "It's too wasteful to use Holy magic here. What if we encounter another nest of manticores?"

Nie Yan was not a bumpkin. He had seen more things than Half-Asleep Fox, so he was not surprised to see Holy magic.

Half-Asleep Fox using Holy magic here was simply overkill. Wouldn't they still be unable to pass the next nest of manticores?

Hearing Nie Yan's words, Half-Asleep Fox was slightly embarrassed. He was unwilling to use Holy magic unless absolutely necessary. The situation was too urgent just now, and his use of Holy magic was also meant to show off his financial resources, but instead, he was despised by Nie Yan. Nie Yan was able to recognize Holy magic at a glance, and seemed to know more than he did. Who exactly was this guy?
