Shi Feng simply smiled at everyone's surprise, not bothering to explain.
His high damage was not only due to the Blazing Meteor being a Pseudo-extraordinary item. He also had the Seven Luminaries Ring's Aura of Fire effect, which increased his damage by 40% and reduced his target's Defense by 40%.
However, the Seven Luminaries Ring needed to remain a secret.
Moreover, Shi Feng was also a Tier 1 Blade Saint. His Attack Power had originally been high, so there was nothing odd about him dealing over -1,000 damage with one attack.
Because of Shi Feng's attack, the group's total damage overwhelmed the Flame Guard's battle recovery. It was utterly helpless. It could only roar furiously as it used its flame war hammer to defend itself against the eight's attacks while attacking with its Flame Spears.
For a time, both sides were at a stalemate.
However, none of the Flame Guard's attacks could land on any of its eight targets.
Only its Flame Domain could inflict any damage. However, with each player losing only 300 HP every three seconds, they only needed one healer per player to keep them at full health. As for Shi Feng, he did not even need a healer. With more than 60 points in Fire Resistance, he could ignore the Flame Domain.
On the other hand, Shi Feng's team launched a rapid assault against the Flame Guard. Although the Lord had fended off many of the attacks with its flame war hammer, it had still received a significant amount of damage, its HP constantly decreasing.
95%... 94%... 93%...
Time passed slowly. As the Flame Guard's HP fell, its attacks became frantic. The team began to feel the strain of dodging so many Flame Spears. Everyone's attack rate also started decreasing, slowing their enemy's HP descent.
In the end, the fight that should have concluded after a dozen minutes or so had lasted over half an hour.
Although everyone was bored from repeatedly dodging the Flame Spears, when they thought about how they could kill a Flame Guard just by repeating these actions, they began to feel reinvigorated. Moreover, they could also train their evasive techniques, killing two birds with one stone. The members watching from 50 yards away were envious.
After more than half an hour, the Flame Guard's HP finally fell to 15%.
Suddenly, the Flame Guard's eyes glowed a brilliant red. The flames covering its body writhed and expanded as the monster grew several times its original size. The scorching flames vaporized the moisture in the air, causing a shimmering heat haze.
Inside the Final Cave, aside from Shi Feng, everyone was stunned by the Flame Guard's intimidating aura.
In the next moment, the Flame Guard opened its mouth, gathering berserk fire-type mana inside it. Shi Feng exploded into motion, dashing between his teammates and his enemy.
"All of you, stand behind me. Healers, increase your healing!"
Shi Feng hurriedly shouted. He then switched the Seven Luminaries Ring's Aura of Fire to Aura of Illusion. Suddenly, all of his Attributes increased by 30%. Simultaneously, Shi Feng also activated Fantasy World, gaining immunity to all magic damage for 20 seconds.
As a Lord ranked monster, the Flame Guard was far more powerful than other monsters, and this was its sure-kill skill, Ragefire Roar. When activated, the skill would deal a devastating blow to all enemies in a cone in front of it, burning everything to cinders.
