Chapter 258 Battle, Battle, I Want to Fight Again
Nana, shrouded in a strong black aura of malevolence, lunged at the crowd with bared teeth and claws, and a thrilling and fierce battle ensued.
Yuan Bao's AFK mode involved handing over all attack commands to the system while he clung to Little 9, observing the situation like an outsider.
Captain Tianxing, the old monster, reacted quickly. With a swing of his longsword, a cold light pierced the sky as he launched the first attack on Nana.
This sword strike, imbued with a sharp, fierce aura, was aimed directly at Nana's throat.
Nana, however, seemed to have anticipated this. She dodged the attack with a swift movement and then struck out with her palm. A black wave of energy surged toward the old monster Tianxing like a raging tide.
The old monster Tianxing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly dodged to the side. The shockwave grazed past him, leaving a deep trench in the ground.
The teammate's hands moved rapidly, and he chanted incantations, summoning a group of small sprites that emitted a ghostly glow.
These little sprites, like lively fireflies, split into several groups and flew towards Nana from different directions.
Nana merely gave a disdainful snort, casually flicked her sleeve, and the powerful energy instantly scattered the little elves into starlight that dissipated into the air.
Upon seeing this, the teammate's expression changed slightly, but they did not panic. They immediately controlled the remaining Pokémon to change their attack strategy, attempting to disrupt Nana's actions.
Teammate Two quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow. The specially made arrows, carrying a dazzling light, streaked across the sky, each arrow bearing a tracking rune.
Arrows rained down on Nana, but she moved with ghostly grace, weaving nimbly through the barrage, dodging left and right.
However, her teammate's archery skills were superb. By constantly adjusting the shooting angle, an arrow finally grazed Nana's shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.
Nana winced in pain, letting out a sharp scream, her eyes burning with even more murderous intent.
With three sharp blades in hand, the teammate rushed forward like a black lightning bolt while Nana was distracted, aiming straight for Nana's back.
Nana sensed danger, turned around abruptly, and slapped out with both palms.
Teammate 3 was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the blast wave, flying backward several meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
But he quickly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rushed towards Nana again.
While observing, Yuan Bao talked to Xiao 9: "Xiao 9, look, Nana's attacks are getting more and more intense, and everyone seems to be struggling to cope."
Little 9 circled in the air and analyzed, "My lord, Nana has served in the Underworld for many years, and her strength is not to be underestimated. Now that she has fallen into madness, her combat power has increased significantly. However, her teammates cooperate well and can hold them off for the time being."
Yuan Bao frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "After this observation, I found a problem with the AFK mode."
While the system can calculate and maximize damage output to achieve ultimate combat power, it overlooks a crucial aspect of teamwork: timely recovery of teammates' status.
For example, everyone is getting injured one after another, but the team-wide healing skill hasn't been triggered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Bao quickly swiped his finger across the game interface and decisively activated the "Medicine King's Divine Hand" skill.
In an instant, a soft golden-green light surged out like a tide, enveloping the teammates.
The teammates, who were originally injured and exhausted, saw their wounds heal at a visible speed under the nourishment of this light, their dim eyes regained their brilliance, and their bodies were once again filled with strength.
Little 9 spun around in the air, flashing blue light: "Hmm, Master, you are very observant!"
Yuan Bao, having received affirmation, continued, "From now on, I'll use the 'AFK mode' for the series of storylines. I'll just watch from the sidelines and occasionally use this skill to easily heal all the team members. This will give us more confidence in dealing with battles in the future!"
Just then, Nana suddenly let out a deafening roar, and black malevolent energy surged from her body like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield.
With their vision obstructed, the group could only attack by instinct.
The old monster Tianxing shouted, "Everyone, maintain formation and don't panic!"
However, under the cover of the black mist, Nana's attacks became even more unpredictable and elusive.
Her figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, launching surprise attacks on the group one after another, causing injuries to the team members.
Yuan Bao was extremely anxious. Although he was in AFK mode, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
She saw her teammate one being thrown back by Nana's shockwave and crash heavily into a boulder; her teammate two's arrows lost their aim in the black mist and all missed; and her teammate three was kicked in the chest by Nana and fell to the ground, unable to move.
"Little 9, this can't go on, everyone's lives will be in danger!" Yuan Bao said anxiously.
Little 9 comforted her, "My lord, don't worry, your battle spirits haven't used their full strength yet. The system will adjust their attack strategies according to the battlefield situation."
As expected, Yuan Bao's four divine beasts began to display their powerful strength under the system's control.
The Azure Dragon roared to the sky, and a thick azure tornado, carrying ice shards, swept across the battlefield in an instant, dispersing much of the surrounding black mist.
The white tiger charged at Nana like lightning, its sharp claws slicing through the air and creating ripples, posing a considerable threat to Nana.
The Vermilion Bird spread its wings and soared into the sky, spewing out a pillar of flame tens of meters long, the intense heat distorting and deforming the surrounding air.
Xuanwu then unleashed a brand-new defensive skill, with mysterious runes appearing on the surface of its massive tortoise shell, forming an indestructible shield that provided safety for its teammates.
With the help of the four mythical beasts, the team members gradually regained their footing.
Seizing the opportunity, the old monster Tianxing unleashed a powerful sword technique. With a flash of light, it left a deep wound on Nana's body.
Enraged beyond measure, Nana charged at the old monster Tianxing without regard for anything else, wanting to perish together with him.
At this critical moment, Yuan Bao's auto-play system seemed to have detected an opening in Nana's attack. The four divine beasts coordinated perfectly: the Azure Dragon's chilling aura, the White Tiger's claw wind, the Vermilion Bird's flames, and the Black Tortoise's rock projectiles intertwined to form a devastating energy storm that swept towards Nana.
Nana struggled desperately in the storm, but was ultimately swallowed up by the powerful force.
As Nana fell to the ground, the battlefield gradually returned to calm.
The black fog dissipated, and sunlight shone on everyone.
The team members breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Yuan Bao turned off the auto-play mode and clicked the Medicine King's group healing skill again to help his teammates recover quickly.
He then asked with concern, "Is everyone alright now?"
The old monster Tianxing stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Luckily we had your battle spirit, otherwise we would have been in danger this time."
The other team members also stood up one after another and expressed their gratitude to Yuan Bao.
Little 9 flew to Yuan Bao's side and said with a smile, "My lord, although this battle was thrilling, we successfully defeated Nana and gained valuable experience."
Yuan Bao nodded, watching the black malevolent aura gradually dissipate in the distance. He secretly resolved to become stronger in the future and face even more challenges.
After resting for a while, the group prepared to leave the Underworld.
Just then, a system notification sounded, announcing that they had successfully completed the story mission in hard mode.
Yuan Bao still preferred game points. After confirming his reward selection, Yuan Bao received a reward of 5000 points.
Yuan Bao's face burned with rage as he looked at the fluctuating numbers on the points screen.
Fight, fight, I want to fight again! Points, points, I want points!
