A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

54: A king-level boss, one of the Four Symbols!So cool!

His own mount possessed three skills. After advancing to a spirit beast, although its attribute levels were suppressed, they were still 10% higher than those of its master, Bai Tian, and its skills remained sharp.

This mount was definitely worth it!

It was equivalent to having a magic-based damage-dealing helper.

The Ancestral Return Strange Horse finished off the four White Tiger clones. After sending them all flying, it proudly tossed its head, signaling to Bai Tian.

”Well done. I’ll reward you with a big chicken leg after the mission.”

As a result, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse hurriedly shook its head.

Bai Tian then said, ”I’ll reward you with 50 butterfly orchids.”

Only then did it lift its head happily, running even faster and more joyfully, pushing its speed and horsepower to the limit.

Next, Bai Tian fully experienced how refreshing it was to have a spirit beast rank mount.

The monsters blocking the path were either easily avoided by the Ancestral Return Strange Horse’s speed or forcibly knocked away by its skills.

As the master, Bai Tian only needed to sit on its back, observe the surroundings, and find the corresponding four gates.

Finally, five minutes later, Bai Tian discovered the first cyan floating dragon-shaped gate.

Within the Azure Dragon-shaped gate, an energy stone floated.

Around it were over a dozen demon rank monsters that were Azure Dragon clones, watching with greedy eyes.

Bai Tian smiled. He tossed a mid-grade spirit recovery pill to the Ancestral Return Strange Horse to eat, then snapped his fingers.

”Frost Breath!”

The Ancestral Return Strange Horse let out a long neigh, then stood on its hind legs with Bai Tian on its back, opened its mouth wide, and spat out a flood-like wave of frost energy.

In an instant, it froze all the Azure Dragon clones in place.

Taking the opportunity, Bai Tian rode the Ancestral Return Strange Horse close to the Azure Dragon-shaped gate and reached out to press the energy stone.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Requires 5 gold coins to activate the Azure Dragon Gate.)”

Holy crap, so expensive?

Bai Tian only had 23 gold coins in his bag. Without money, he wouldn’t even be able to activate the gate.

Feeling the sting, Bai Tian spent 5 gold coins. While activating the Azure Dragon Gate, he couldn’t help but recall a saying from the internet.

”In today’s society, if you say you know Southern Fist and Northern Leg, Shaolin or Wudang, no one will fear you.”

”But as long as you say you’re poor, even ghosts will fear you.”

True indeed!

Games and reality are the same.

Having activated the Azure Dragon Gate, Bai Tian turned his horse around and changed direction to continue searching for the other three gates.

Having a spirit beast rank mount could be described in one word: awesome!

With the Ancestral Return Strange Horse clearing the way, Bai Tian only had to sit and look for the quest gates.

He only needed to feed the Ancestral Return Strange Horse some pills occasionally.

Finally, after 27 minutes, with only 3 minutes left on the time limit, Bai Tian found the last gate representing the Black Tortoise, the Old Yang Gate.

After spending 5 gold coins, Bai Tian successfully activated it.

Instantly, all four gates were activated, and an earth-shattering change occurred within the entire Four Symbols Maze.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(All four gates activated. Player Brilliant, please be prepared; the Four Symbols Spirit Beast is about to appear.)”

”(Defeat it or stay alive for 1 minute to complete the mission.)”

The BOSS is finally coming!

It’s time to see what’s so great about this BOSS.

Bai Tian waited atop the Ancestral Return Strange Horse with full confidence.

—”Roar!”

Five seconds later, a deafening, terrifying roar that sounded like a dragon, a tiger, a sparrow, and a tortoise echoed through the air.

At the center of the Four Symbols Maze, a massive building-sized, bizarre BOSS appeared, with a cyan dragon head, a Black Tortoise body, white tiger legs, and a flaming sparrow tail.

”Whoa, this is totally a ’Four-not-alike’!”

While exclaiming in awe, Bai Tian quickly checked the basic information of the Four Symbols Spirit Beast.

—[Four Symbols Spirit Beast]!

(emperor rank Second Transfer BOSS)

Level: 20

HP: 10,000,000

Attack: 110,000

Defense/M. Defense: 80,000

Skills: Azure Heaven Shock, Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers, Divine Sparrow Rebirth, Black Tortoise Eternal Shield!

(An emperor rank BOSS formed by merging the powers of the four symbols—[Four Symbols Spirit Beast]. Its prowess is enough to make mountains and rivers lose their color and the world fall silent...)

Damn it!

This demon rank mission is simply inhuman!

The Four Symbols Spirit Beast was actually an emperor rank BOSS that surpassed Bai Tian’s knowledge.

Bai Tian had always thought that the highest rank in [Nine Heavens] was the demon rank BOSS.

Now an emperor rank one suddenly popped up.

Even though the Four Symbols Spirit Beast was only Level 20, its terrifying attributes and skills made Bai Tian abandon any thought of killing it.

”Run!”

Bai Tian slapped the horse’s back hard, letting the Ancestral Return Strange Horse carry him away.

He definitely couldn’t handle this BOSS; he could only stall for time and stay alive for one minute.

Whether it sensed its master’s urgency or was intimidated by the Four Symbols Spirit Beast’s powerful pressure, the Ancestral Return Strange Horse was unknown.

Its long tail was tucked between its legs in fear as it galloped wildly, carrying Bai Tian away at high speed.

The system had already begun the countdown: 59 seconds!

Seeing Bai Tian flee, the emperor rank BOSS, the Four Symbols Spirit Beast, suddenly moved.

Despite its massive size, like a moving building, its speed was not at all inferior to the spirit beast rank Ancestral Return Strange Horse.

In less than 10 seconds, amid the earth-shaking movement, the Four Symbols Spirit Beast caught up.

While fleeing at high speed on horseback, Bai Tian saw out of the corner of his eye that the Four Symbols Spirit Beast’s dragon head was raised, gathering terrifying elemental power.

—”Roar!”

In the next moment, terrifying sound waves like a crashing mountain and sea converged into a surging wave, sweeping out.

This was the Four Symbols Spirit Beast’s skill—[Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers]!

The sound waves were so fast that even riding the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, he couldn’t dodge them.

Bai Tian quickly cast the Ultimate Cold Abyss Blessing and a shield that absorbed 80,000 damage for self-protection.

The Ultimate Cold Abyss Blessing effect also applied to the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, making its entire body glow brightly.

—”Boom!”

The terrifying sound waves of Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers struck, permeating Bai Tian’s entire body like thunder.

—”(Ding-dong!)”

”(The Four Symbols Spirit Beast activated the Divine Skill—[Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers]. You are under a crowd control effect and cannot move for 4 seconds.)”

The moment the system notification appeared, Bai Tian felt a chill. He was thrown from the horse’s back and fell to the ground, with a terrifying damage number popping up on his health bar.

Damage: -326,160!

A massive damage amount of over 320,000.

The Cold Abyss Shield, which absorbed 80,000 damage, shattered instantly.

Neither the ultimate amplification nor the Cold Abyss Shield that absorbed 80,000 damage could block this wave of terrifying damage.

However, Bai Tian’s Longevity passive, which resists lethal damage, saved his life.

40x Rebound: -13,046,400!

—”Awoo!”

The Four Symbols Spirit Beast let out an agonizingly long cry, then blood sprayed from its body as its massive form collapsed on the spot, its HP dropping to zero.

It was killed by the over 13 million Rebound damage.

However, not a hint of joy appeared on Bai Tian’s face.

The system did not notify him that the mission was completed.

On the contrary, within the massive body of the Four Symbols Spirit Beast whose HP had been depleted, a flame of the reborn Divine Sparrow suddenly ignited.

”It can even be reborn? That’s cheating! You can’t play like this...”

Bai Tian wailed inwardly.
