Chapter 106: Meteor Fire Rain
In the Tower of Truth, on the ninth floor, Mike entered the Fire Element Change Class Realm.
"Reset!"
"Generate skill [Meteor Fire Rain], learn it?"
"Learn!"
As soon as the skill was in his possession, Mike couldn't wait to open the skill description and read it again:
"[Meteor Fire Rain]: Summons a fireball from the sky to strike the enemy, dealing (2000+1.5*Intelligence) points of fire element damage, and applies a [Meteor Mark] on the target.
Each [Meteor Mark] scorches the target, dealing (1000+2*Intelligence) points of fire element damage over 10 seconds. If the target dies while under the effect of [Meteor Mark], the number of marks doubles and randomly spreads to nearby enemy units.
Any non-[Meteor Fire Rain] fire element skill can detonate [Meteor Mark], causing (10000*number of marks) fire element damage!
Mana cost: 600 points.
Cooldown: 10 seconds.
Powerful!
Worthy of an SSS-rank skill!
[Meteor Fire Rain] has one effect: damage!
The damage is divided into three stages:
First stage, impact damage + burning damage. With Mike's Intelligence attribute nearing 2000, a rough calculation shows the impact damage at 5000 points, with a continuous burn of 5000 points per second for 10 seconds, totaling 50,000.
[Fire Element Mastery] enhances fire element magic effects by 100%.
After doubling, the impact hits for 10,000 damage, with 2 [Meteor Marks], each mark burning for 10,000 points per second, 2 layers over 20 seconds totaling 400,000.
Just the first stage of damage, not even considering magic resistance, can slay enemies with health below 410,000!
Then comes the second stage of damage: the strongest aspect of [Meteor Fire Rain] lies in the fission of [Meteor Mark]!
Enemies carrying [Meteor Mark], when killed, have their layers doubled!
2 layers become 4, 4 layers become 8...
Aside from Charge Up, this will be the most powerful growth skill!
By killing enemies marked with [Meteor Mark], the marks continuously double!
After an enemy dies, the doubled [Meteor Mark] spreads to more enemies!
Like a snowball, the [Meteor Mark] keeps growing, and won't stop until all enemies are killed!
Even if some enemies can withstand the burning damage of [Meteor Mark], Mike can rely on [Thunderclap Strike] to specifically target and kill them!
Moreover, [Meteor Fire Rain] also has a third phase—detonation!
When the minions are wiped out, [Meteor Mark] concentrates on the boss, and Mike can simply use [Ignite] to detonate all the [Meteor Marks]!
Each layer of [Meteor Mark] causes a whopping 10,000 points of explosive fire element damage!
Deadly Ignite!
Mike tucked away the skill description and mulled over in his mind, "In terms of single-target damage, [Meteor Fire Rain] is pretty standard.
Its ideal battle scenario is a super-strong boss accompanied by a bunch of minions.
The minions provide ample fuel for [Meteor Fire Rain], splitting into more [Meteor Marks]!
And when it comes to detonating [Meteor Mark], the damage just goes through the roof!
Even without detonation, the sheer number of [Meteor Marks] and the scorching damage are enough to give any boss a run for their money!"
Thinking this, Mike couldn't help but shake his head, "Too bad, such scenarios are hard to come by."
On the battlefield, [Meteor Fire Rain] is purely a group damage skill.
This skill fills the gap in Mike's arsenal for dealing area damage, while also adding a type of burst damage.
That's why, at first glance of [Meteor Fire Fire Rain], Mike completely ditched [Blazing Storm].
After learning [Meteor Fire Rain], all fire element monsters turned into magma and returned to the volcano.
After a flash of fire, Mike found himself back on that massive rock.
The rock floated in the void, with only three conquered elemental gates standing in place.
Wind, Lightning, Fire.
Following the order Mike conquered them, the elemental gates began to stir!
The three elements... began to merge?!
Mike's eyelids twitched, sensing trouble, as a wild elemental force swept everything, and a terrifying monster began to take shape.
[Young man, I advise you to take care of yourself]
Without any hesitation, Mike started with a skill combo.
"Wind Fury!"
"Charge Up!"
No matter what terrifying boss he was about to face, stacking up Charge Up was never a mistake!
As Mike braced for a formidable enemy, the Eye of Truth provided a new hint,
[Hot Knowledge: This boss possesses all the skills you've created in the change class realm]
Among the three change class realms, Lightning and Fire elements were manageable—Mike hadn't reset too many skills.
As for the Wind element... Mike had madly reset, starting with a dozen SSS-rank skills!
This time, he had definitely created a huge problem for himself.
As Mike rapidly stacked up Charge Up, the boss gradually revealed its true form.
Boss: Master of the Wind, Lightning, and Fire Realms
Level: 60
Health: 90 million
Shield: 120 million
Skills: Wind's Reach, Lightning Phantom Form, Meteor Fire Rain...
[Defeat the boss, reward: +10% Affinity in all three elements...]
[Note: The Master of the Wind, Lightning, and Fire Realms, skill effects +100%, no cost, no chanting, cannot be silenced...]
[The Master of the Wind, Lightning, and Fire Realms can only be damaged by Wind, Lightning, and Fire elements, and has an 80% damage reduction from these elements...]
Five minutes later, when the boss fully appeared before Mike, he instantly made his move.
"Blessing of Lightning!"
"Thunderclap Strike!"
A terrifying bolt of lightning struck from the sky, piercing through the boss's shield, and was about to strike the Master of the Realms.
"Lightning Phantom Form!"
The figure of the Master of the Wind, Lightning, and Fire Realms became ethereal.
Immune to lightning damage!
A few lines of frustration appeared on Mike's face; this was a skill he had created himself.
Little did he know, the Master would use it here to limit Mike's damage.
"Wind's Reach!"
"Void Tremor!"
Mike's figure transformed into a forward thrust, dealing wind element damage to the boss during the process.
The damage mode of Wind's Reach was an invisible Wind Blade that struck out at high speed, directly slashing the target.
Void Tremor followed suit, striking the Master of the Realms, causing damage: 0!
The Master is immune to all damage except from Wind, Fire, and Lightning!
With [Lightning Phantom Form], it was even immune to lightning damage.
Mike wasn't after damage, but the healing prohibition effect of Void Tremor!
Many of the wind element skills Mike had created previously included healing and shielding effects, and the boss's ability to cast without chanting was giving Mike a real headache.
"Meteor Fire Rain!"
"Ignite!"
"....."
In the change class realm, the battle between Mike and the Boss continued.
"Wind Fury!"
"Wind's Reach!"
Amidst the howling wind, Mike's roar could be heard,
"Today, only one of us is leaving the change class realm alive!"
