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

221: Defeating the Headless Monarch (Part 2)After the Headless Monarch sensed the Immortal Beast aura from both the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape, his voice carried a hint of disdain amidst his surprise.

Fortunately, these two Immortal Beasts were still in their infancy, so the Headless Monarch was not intimidated.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion immediately bristled, lightning erupting from its body. ”Pah! This Emperor is no lackey. I... I am in a partnership with him.”

Although the Vajra Demon Ape was straightforward, it had the most explosive temper. Black demonic flames surged around it. ”You dare insult this Emperor as a lackey? You little wretch, I will definitely destroy you.”

Without further nonsense, both sides immediately began to fight!

As the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape charged at the Headless Monarch, Bai Tian immediately activated his Divine Skill—[Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers]!

— ”Roar!”

A divine soul-shocking soundwave spread out, heading straight for the Headless Monarch.

The Headless Monarch and his Fire Phoenix Bird mount were immediately hit for over a million damage by this single skill.

Furthermore, the Fire Phoenix Bird, which had intended to use a skill to breathe out True Fire Incineration Breath, had its skill interrupted and was instantly frozen in mid-air.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Vajra Demon Ape slammed into the Headless Monarch like Mount Tai crashing down.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion activated Nine Nether Thunder, unleashing nine massive and surging spheres of lightning.

Even Ashunusi, who had been burned earlier, took the opportunity to strike, raising his Undead Spear and slashing at the Headless Monarch with an ultimate skill.

”Hmph, is that all!”

Although the Headless Monarch was hit, for some reason, he wasn’t affected by the control effect. With a mocking laugh, void energy surged from him, turning both him and the Fire Phoenix Bird into nothingness.

The skills of the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion, the Vajra Demon Ape, and Ashunusi all missed.

”Void Projection!”

After evading the attacks, the Headless Monarch displayed his might again. With a sweep of his black spear, three beams of void light hit the trio, plunging all three of their bodies into a special state.

*Bang, bang, bang!*

All three were sent flying by the terrifying force.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape were even reduced to critical health.

Only Ashunusi was slightly stronger, but he still lost a huge chunk of health.

Bai Tian frowned, not expecting this guy to be so strong.

After knocking the trio away, just as the Headless Monarch was about to pursue and kill them, Bai Tian quickly ordered the Little Dragon Zombie to stop him.

”Roar at him!”

— ”Roar!”

The Corpse Howl skill was activated, successfully taunting the enemy and interrupting the Headless Monarch’s next attack. He turned his spear and slashed down on the Little Dragon Zombie with the force of splitting a mountain.

[Critical Damage: -78.99 million!]

The poor Little Dragon Zombie, just like last time, was taken out after receiving only a single hit.

But it had done its job.

[160x Rebound, Realm Suppression, 60% Damage Reduction, Damage: -5.05 billion!]

”Ah!”

At the same time Bai Tian was forced to trigger God-Tier Sky Bearing, the Headless Monarch boss also lost a staggering 5.05 billion health from the Rebound.

Furthermore, the impact knocked him out of his mounted state, sending him tumbling off the Fire Phoenix Bird’s back.

One could see that the Headless Monarch’s health bar had instantly dropped by a fifth.

This proved that the Headless Monarch possessed a terrifying health pool of over 25 billion.

”Hahaha!”

”Master is mighty, unparalleled under heaven!”

Ashunusi, the best at flattery and seizing opportunities, took advantage of the momentum to strike the airborne Undead Monarch with an ultimate undead skill, dealing 210 million damage.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape also seized the chance to attack, dealing a significant amount of damage to the Headless Monarch as well.

Since God-Tier Sky Bearing had already been triggered, Bai Tian also launched attacks, but ”MISS” kept popping up; not a single strike could land.

The level suppression was too severe!

Ashunusi had originally wanted to stab the Headless Monarch a few more times, but the now-stabilized Headless Monarch countered with a sudden back-thrust, sending him flying. He crashed into rocks a thousand meters away, smashing out a cave.

This strike dealt a critical hit.

Ashunusi lost over 300 million health, and several bones in his chest were shattered, leaving him screaming in pain.

— ”Screech!”

Meanwhile, the Fire Phoenix Bird mount had recovered from the control of Tiger Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers. It let out an angry cry toward the sky, turning into a streak of crimson fire to catch the Headless Monarch and returning to a mounted state.

The Fire Phoenix Bird’s wings spread wide, and it spat out terrifying True Fire elements like a meteor shower of heavenly flames, launching a wide-area attack on Bai Tian and everyone else.

”Adventurer from another world, die!”

”Void Killing Light!”

The Headless Monarch’s killing intent was piqued. Once stabilized, he pointed a finger at Bai Tian from the back of the Fire Phoenix Bird, which was still casting its skill.

With a whoosh, a beam of void power at the speed of light formed a band of light that pierced straight through Bai Tian’s chest.

Simultaneously, the countless True Fire elements spat out by the Fire Phoenix Bird also rained down on Bai Tian.

Several massive damage numbers popped up at once.

[Void Killing Light, Damage: -610 million!]

[Magic Damage: -10.2 million, -10.19 million, -10.18 million...]

The Headless Monarch’s Void Killing Light directly triggered Bai Tian’s Longevity Passive.

The subsequent True Fire elemental damage from the Fire Phoenix Bird was also ridiculously high. Bai Tian didn’t want to use up a charge of Divine Sparrow Rebirth so early, so he decisively cast an ultimate Cold Abyss Shield and Five Elements Protection.

At the same time, he activated [Resurrection Domain] and an ultimate [Mass Healing Spell].

After this series of maneuvers, he finally managed to save his life and was not killed by the Fire Phoenix Bird.

*Bang!*

The Headless Monarch, who had hit Bai Tian with the Void Killing Light, suddenly exploded, killed by the 160x Rebound.

He had dealt 610 million damage to Bai Tian; under the 160x Rebound, even with 60% damage reduction, he would still be killed by the reflected damage.

As for the Fire Phoenix Bird, after hitting Bai Tian three times, it let out a sorrowful cry and died like an exploding sun, erupting into a shower of sparks.

However, Bai Tian didn’t show the slightest bit of joy, because there were no notifications of a massive loot drop or gaining a huge amount of experience.

He saw the Headless Monarch’s mangled remains, which had been blown apart by the Rebound, rapidly reassembling and beginning to respawn.

And after its mount, the Fire Phoenix Bird, was blown up, it actually turned into a crimson egg of fire, with the sound of a heartbeat coming from within.

”Adventurer from another world, so the one who can Rebound is you, not your previous pet.”

The Headless Monarch, who was currently resurrecting, immediately realized Bai Tian’s secret, his killing intent surging to the heavens.

”Master, it takes him five seconds to resurrect. Take advantage of his weakness to end his life!”

Ashunusi flew over once more, continuously attacking the resurrecting Headless Monarch with the speed of lightning.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape, whose health had been fully restored by Bai Tian, did the same, bombarding the target with a flurry of skills.

Down below, it wasn’t that Jiang Yuebai didn’t want to help, but mainly because she couldn’t fly, so she could only watch helplessly.

Despite knowing the hit rate was extremely low, Bai Tian didn’t care about the odds at this moment and launched a rapid succession of basic attacks at the resurrecting Headless Monarch.

”Jie jie jie...”

”While resurrecting, I have 90% damage reduction. You cannot stop my revival.”

”Today, I will have you all buried in—”

Before the Headless Monarch’s chilling demonic voice could finish, and just as he was about to successfully resurrect.

Amidst a string of MISSes from Bai Tian’s continuous basic attacks, he finally managed to land two hits.

[Damage: -110,000; God-tier Soul Slaying, Damage: -25.25 billion!]

— ”(Ding-dong)!”

”(Congratulations on killing the [Headless Monarch]...)”
