Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 905: First Priority

Xu Feng was alarmed by the attack power while Carmen frowned, her expression rather dark as she noticed her voidlings couldnʼt even withstand one attack from the boss.

Without her voidlings, it could be said that her firepower was reduced by half. After all, most of the offensive skills required her summons as a medium to output the highest damage.

She was a Summoner base class at the end of the day, and not some Arcane Mage or Sorcerer.

While Carmen was frustrated by the development, Xu Fengʼs eyes suddenly narrowed.

”Careful!” He hurriedly called out but knew it was too late. Without hesitation, he quickly pushed Carmen to the side, who was rather confused by the shove.

However, her eyes soon widened in disbelief when the Slaughter Chainsaw emerged in front of Xu Feng.

Its bulky saw arm soon cut straight down at Xu Feng.

”Guild Leader!” Carmen cried out in alarm.

Dust piled up on the ground, negating her vision from being able to see what had happened.

Amidst the dust, Carmen suddenly heard a voice from within.

”Quickly cast your Void Field if itʼs off cooldown.”

Carmen recognized the voice and hurriedly cast her Void Field.

A few seconds later, the dust scattered and Carmen noticed Xu Fengʼs health had dropped to 5%, with a barrier covering him.

Not wasting any time, Carmen realized her summon count was back up and hurriedly summoned them while using a taunt skill to take the Slaughter Chainsawʼs attention away from Xu Feng.

Unwilling to let her voidlings be killed in a whirlwind chainsaw dance, Carmen made sure to scatter them across, creating a large distance in between.

Now even if the Slaughter Chainsaw were to use the same moveset, it wouldnʼt be as effective as the first time.

As the Slaughter Chainsawʼs attention was shifted to a nearby voidling, Carmen hurriedly dashed to Xu Fengʼs side and asked in concern. ”Are you alright, Guild Leader?”

”What do you think?” Xu Feng flashed a bittersweet smile. It was a good thing he had activated Ultimate Will on time, otherwise, he was guaranteed to be one shot from that sudden attack.

Who could have thought that the Slaughter Chainsaw had a target lock-on skill?

”Make sure your summons do not get wiped out anymore. Otherwise, one of us will become a target.” He then warned, explaining the situation. Due to the fact that only they were the ones remaining after the Slaughter Chainsaw killed the voidlings, it was able to lock its target onto them.

Initially, the target was pointed at Carmen, but Xu Feng detected it in time and shifted the target to himself. It happened almost in the blink of an eye, so he couldnʼt react in time to summon his own creatures to block it on his behalf.

Nodding, Carmen also understood that she would have been killed.

After all, she definitely wouldnʼt have thought about activating the Ultimate Will in that instance.

”Iʼve scattered my voidlings now.” She said solemnly. ”I rarely cared about their placement before because the monsters were always weaker and easy to swarm. But the Slaughter Chainsaw made me realize that doing so was courting death.”

Pleased, Xu Feng was glad that Carmen had learned from her mistake.

”Iʼm glad that I tank that hit then,” he mused and began healing himself. In the meantime, Carmen started to turn her focus to the battle and proceeded to control her voidlings.

Although the beginning was rather junky and quite messy, to say the least.

She was starting to show signs of improvement.

Nevertheless, time waited for no one and before anyone realized, they were down to half an hour.

Timer: 00:30:58

As the time continued to tick down, the cooperation between Xu Feng and Carmen increased significantly. Most of the skills that the Slaughter Chainsaw used were recognizable, including the action phase that triggered them.

”Guild Leader, has the boss been weakened enough yet?” Carmen asked as she panted heavily.

The mana consumption was heavy as she repeatedly canceled and recast her Void Field. Simultaneously, she needed to expend a large amount of concentration to control each voidlings intended to taunt and distract the boss.

”The boss has been weakened, but not enough to deal the most damage.” Xu Feng responded. His eyes stared at the health bar of the boss and constantly checked for any anomaly.

Just when things seemed to be smooth sailing, both of them began to notice something.

The taunts from the voidlings were no longer as effective. The Slaughter Chainsaw was still killing the voidlings, but only when it was within a fixed radius of its current spot.

Carmen quickly expressed her worries.

”Is the taunt no longer going to work?” She asked, her eyes staring at its health bar which was around 52%. There were still 25 minutes left in the battle.

”I think once it reaches 50%, the boss might be immune to it.” Xu Feng suspected. Having dealt with many boss-type enemies in the past timeline, his instinct was rarely incorrect when it came to things like this.

If 50% meant immunization to taunt, and 30% being the berserk phase of the boss, then Xu Feng knew the remaining time wouldnʼt be enough for the two of them to complete.

”Forget it, letʼs just get it to 50% first and see.” He shook his head and ultimately told Carmen to continue as planned. At the moment, it was just speculation and not confirmed incidents.

If it was truly confirmed, then Xu Feng would have to make drastic moves to get the job down.

Now that they were close to the final mark and having tasted the sweetness of the Ultimate Will, he was very unwilling to leave empty-handed.

3 minutes later, Carmen collapsed the Void Field again, effectively bringing the Slaughter Chainsawʼs health bar to 49%.

”Indeed, my voidlingsʼ taunts are being completely ignored.” Carmen pursed her lips as she watched the Slaughter Chainsawʼs eyes lock onto none other than her Guild Leader.

”Ah, a healerʼs dilemma,” he exhaled deeply, not a bit surprised that the healer was the first priority in any fight.
