THIS is what a mage should be!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced behind him—at the hundreds of elite-level beast hordes—and then at the two guards beside him, his voice burning with fervor:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fighting side by side with a prodigy of this caliber?

Charge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two guards, infected by his emotion, roared and sprinted toward Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the battlefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo cleared the field again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! I told you—we’re unstoppable together! These trash monsters?

Awesome. Truly awesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing, hearing the praise, lifted her chin proudly: “Of course! Don’t you know who we are? Longxu Class F4!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan blushed slightly, stealing a glance at Lin Mo’s profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Liu didn’t waste time—he grew serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Students, this isn’t the time to celebrate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The real trouble… has arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, countless two-headed demons flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, a horde of heavily armored, axe-wielding half-orcs surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the rear, even larger, towering demon giants followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Liu swallowed hard, his voice hoarse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the war giant’s personal guard! All 30-level elite mobs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Xiao Liu pointed to himself and the two teammates beside him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We three are all agility-based classes—fast movement, that’s why we got here first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those bastards all have that damn [War Aura] on them, plus they’re elite mobs to begin with…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply put, these elite mobs’ combat power is several times more terrifying than all those regular monsters combined!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone except Lin Mo grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of 30-level elite mobs was already tougher than regular monsters; now they carried a War Aura that doubled all stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, elite mobs already had higher resistance to control effects than regular monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under level suppression, control effects were nearly useless against Lin Mo and his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason their previous battle went so smoothly was largely due to the powerful control of [Quicksand Domain] and [Absolute Cold Domain].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Control skills would likely have little effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the first round of damage was done and cooldowns kicked in, if they failed to clear or control the field, and hundreds of these enraged elites charged in…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Lin Mo’s [Lava Armor], he’d be in serious trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage just isn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the damage were explosive enough to clear the field in one round, nothing else would matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t panic! Listen to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Liu took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Mo and the other three, and said firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We three are all single-target DPS classes—we can take down each elite with one slash, but we can’t wipe them out in groups.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only Lin Mo can clear the field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So our goal is simple: create a clean output environment for Lin Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough damage?
