Chapter 240: Why else would you be the boss?

Terrifying damage numbers popped up over the heads of these Eagle Nation professionals.

Whether they were knights or squishy ranged units,

no one could withstand such terrifying damage at this stage!

The entire Eagle Nation team was sent flying into the sky by this skill.

Except for Isaac and Vivian, who used invincibility skills at the last moment,

everyone else died!

"How could this happen?"

Vivian murmured, her entire face deathly pale.

Fear and regret occupied her mind.

The Dragon Nation's strongest...

He did it on purpose!

Step by step, gathering all the Eagle Nation professionals together,

just to wait for this moment!

Run!

Must run!

Vivian hurriedly took out her teleportation item.

It was a transparent crystal ball emitting a faint light.

Isaac did the same.

He frantically took out his teleportation item,

his previous confidence and composure completely gone!

Just as the two were about to activate their teleportation items,

another ice wall appeared out of thin air.

This time,

the ice wall shot up directly from beneath their feet!

They couldn't understand:

the original ice wall hadn't disappeared yet!

Why could the Dragon Nation's strongest release it again?

The ice wall appeared abruptly, lifting them into the air,

interrupting the activation of their teleportation items!

And the Magma Behemoth,

naturally, wouldn't stop.

It slammed into the ground, and a dark red energy wave swept out!

【-】

【-】

"Pfft!"

Both of them vomited blood instantly.

As squishy ranged professionals, taking this hit head-on wiped out a huge chunk of their health bars.

One more hit and they would die!

With a "rumble,"

a magma boulder flew out, shooting directly toward Isaac!

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope shot through Vivian's despairing pupils.

The Magma Behemoth only had three damage skills!

She still had a chance!

Enduring the intense pain, she offered up her teleportation item.

A radiance appeared around Vivian.

"A pity, still couldn't keep them all."

Releasing the ice wall again was because the 【Time Memory】 earrings eliminated the cooldown.

Even he couldn't stop Vivian from using her teleportation item now.

The restrictions of the competitive dungeon were ultimately too great.

Fortunately,

that professional named Isaac clearly had a better brain than this woman.

The Magma Behemoth's extreme choice between two targets had hit the jackpot.

The magma boulder was a tracking skill,

flying straight toward Isaac.

Even if he used a displacement skill, he couldn't shake off this attack!

However,

being unable to shake it off didn't mean it couldn't be blocked!

At the critical moment, Isaac used a displacement skill, appearing in front of Vivian.

"You!" Vivian's pupils shrank.

The hair-raising sense of crisis behind her made her almost lose the ability to think.

The next second,

Vivian let out a shrill scream.

A half-meter-wide hole was pierced through her chest by the magma boulder.

【-】

A pair of deep blue pupils gradually lost their luster.

Until her death, Vivian couldn't understand:

she didn't die at the hands of the Dragon Nation's strongest,

but instead,

died at the hands of the teammate who once said, "I won't harm you!"

Isaac's ruthless methods

made even Li Yao feel a slight shock; he narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the opponent.

Attacking him, he counterattacked—

that was a matter of opposing stances.

He didn't think much of it.

But the actions of this curly-haired Ice-type Poison Mage at this moment

left Li Yao feeling extremely displeased.

Of the Eagle Nation professionals, only Isaac remained.

The teleportation item activated.

Isaac looked at Li Yao, and Li Yao looked at him.

In the final second,

Isaac made a throat-slitting gesture at Li Yao—the provocation couldn't have been more obvious!

Afterward, he completely vanished from the Core Jianyan Cavern dungeon.

In this dungeon,

he was the only survivor from the Eagle Nation,

and he hadn't gained any equipment or items.

By making such a gesture,

Isaac wanted to enrage Li Yao, to enrage the Dragon Nation's strongest!

Ideally,

Li Yao would lose control of his anger and chase him all the way to the Eagle Nation!

After Isaac left,

the Azure Bird removed the two ice walls.

"Go, finish it."

Li Yao commanded, and the several chess pieces let loose, surrounding and killing the Magma Behemoth.

Before, Li Yao hadn't let them show their full combat power, and hadn't even dared to let Kha'Zix attack,

to avoid scaring off these Eagle Nation professionals.

Now that they were either dead or had fled, there was no need to hide his strength.

In less than a few minutes, the Magma Behemoth was beaten to critical health.

Monsters are the same as professionals:

in a critical health state,

unless they possess a trait like Ji Nie Yuan's—where the lower the health, the stronger the combat power—

even a monster can't stand back up.

Li Yao didn't kill the Magma Behemoth,

for no other reason

than that 【Devour Evolution】 still had a bit of cooldown time.

Li Yao just didn't want to waste it.

At this moment,

At this moment

the Dragon Nation professionals who had stayed to watch finally witnessed Li Yao's combat power.

The Named-grade monster didn't even have the ability to fight back!

Especially that mantis summoned beast!

Not only was its damage terrifyingly high,

but its combat techniques were also far beyond what they could compare to!

You have to know,

these Knight-class professionals were no weaklings!

(This chapter has not ended, please click the next page to continue reading!)

To ensure the safety of students, the knights qualified to take on contribution missions

were definitely figures standing at the top of the Knight-class pyramid!

At the very least, they were S-rank, and there were even three SS-rank professionals!

Besides skills and equipment, what made them stand out was their own weapon techniques.

Now, they actually felt

that a summoned beast had higher techniques than them?

This feeling was like

a human competing with a pet in speaking, and the human lost?

Unbelievable!

After confirming the Magma Behemoth couldn't move, the few walked toward Li Yao.

"Senior Li Yao."

In Some Jingyu Martial Academy, strength is respected.

Calling him just 'Li Yao'

felt a bit inappropriate to the lead knight.

"Senior, don't take Isaac's final actions to heart!"

"He was trying to enrage you, hoping you would make an unwise move."

"Don't worry, it's not that serious."

Li Yao chuckled.

Isaac wasn't enough to enrage him.

At most,

he was just a bit annoyed.

"Good." Seeing Li Yao's demeanor, the knight felt relieved that he wasn't angry.

"Then we'll take our leave."

"By the way, my name is Wei Hai, a Level 40 Heaven-Chosen Heavy Knight. If you ever need anything, Senior, just call me!"

"For the Border Trial, I hope to have your support, Senior!"

"Hmm?"

Li Yao was a bit surprised.

For the other party to say this, they had likely already confirmed their participation in the Border Trial.

These Knight-class professionals were indeed not simple!

Even the likes of Zhang Zhang Liyu and Shang Shang Ziyu had to pass some selection competition.

If there were any dungeons in the future that required multi-person strategies and happened to be short a strong knight, he could indeed call on them.

"Good, I'll remember that," Li Yao said calmly. "You can wait a while before leaving."

Li Yao glanced at the remaining cooldown for 【Devour Evolution】.

"In fifteen minutes, I will kill the Magma Behemoth."

"No need, we won't disturb you, Senior."

Wei Hai smiled and took out an array disk.

After chanting for a dozen seconds, an array appeared on the ground.

"We're in the same guild; when not in combat, we can use this teleportation array to leave together."

After saying that,

Wei Hai took the other Knight-class professionals and vanished before Li Yao's eyes.

"That's convenient," Li Yao remarked.

After arriving at the dungeon lobby,

the few Knight-class professionals all let out a long sigh of relief.

There was no helping it;

they had seen Li Yao in action.

With such a powerful professional standing right next to them, it was inevitable to feel some pressure.

"Boss, the Senior said to wait ten minutes, why didn't we wait a bit?"

The knight beside him looked at Wei Hai with a pained expression.

"Collective teleportation consumes a lot of energy; isn't that just wasting points for nothing?"

"Calculating it this way, even if we get the contribution reward, this mission isn't worth it!"

If points could be compared to contribution,

then that meant

the number of points was likely astronomical!

"The Senior was being polite to you, and you actually took it seriously?" Wei Hai gave the man a flick on the forehead.

"Don't you wonder why he spared the Magma Behemoth's life?"

"Why?" The man rubbed his head, confused.

"How would I know!" Wei Hai said irritably. "I only know that if we stayed, we definitely would have disturbed the Senior."

"Is a few points more important than the Senior's favor?!"

"Holy crap!"

The man suddenly realized.

"If the Senior knew the Boss spent so many points just to not disturb him, wouldn't he be super moved?"

Wei Hai crossed his arms: "Why do you think I said it was a guild teleportation at the end?"

"Even if the Senior hasn't joined a guild now and doesn't know,"

"he'll know one day!"

"Why else would you be the boss?" the man flattered.

"Hmph, hmph!"
