The two dancing automatons were instantly startled by the attack.
At the same time, in Alex's vision, long red health bars appeared above both of them.
Nemesis of Coppelius
Icewind Suite: Coppelius
Level 62
Alright, alright, I knew it! This BOSS is also such a high level!
Missing Clorinde again... Although Clorinde isn't here now, having two more people to fight is still pretty good.
Prepare for a double Geo defensive style!
He needs to provide them with more elements to generate Crystalize shields.
Defense relies entirely on shields to tank DMG; if that's not enough, he'll use his ultimate as healing later, deploying a jellyfish for them.
Navia, in the next moment, pulled out her signature axe and began to normal attack.
"Is that... a blunderbuss?" Saying this, Navia fired another shot at them.
Alex, on the side, wasn't idle either, remotely using Baron Bunny to provide continuous output with its cannon, and his Combat Skill also incessantly spat out twin Hydro bubbles.
Chiori released her sleeve in front, then skillfully wielded two Swords in her hands.
Seeing both of them at the front, Alex also approached and stood beside them, pulling out splendor of tranquil waters and harbinger of dawn.
He fiercely attacked the Legendary Phoenix. Of course, while he said he was using two Swords, who would normally play with these Swords?
He was completely flailing. His right hand wasn't even proficient yet. The splendor of tranquil waters in his left hand only occasionally jabbed.
But it was fine now; Chiori beside him was his action master!
Learning on the fly, he began to imitate Chiori's attack pattern.
He wanted to test his comprehension, to see if he could perfectly imitate her, or at least get the stance right.
Chiori, on the side, spoke as she unleashed her ultimate, her strikes becoming even sharper: "Fashion, I decree!"
"Fashion, me too!" Alex said in the next moment, striking a very accurate pose.
(ᗜ ˰ ᗜ) Chiori silently looked over.
(＞_＜) "Ehe!" Alex said.
"Fire!" ...Navia summoned a row of phantom cannons around her, and then Geo cannonballs continuously rained down from the sky.
Each of these cannonballs precisely struck the dancers. Navia: "Heh~heh. Even though it's Geo element~"
Around the three people fighting, Hydro element Crystalize shields were constantly present. It could basically be said that they were very difficult to break.
Alex and Chiori completely ignored the Hydro Crystalize shields that fell further away; Navia lowered her center of gravity and raised her umbrella, and those Crystalize shields were automatically attracted to Navia. Extremely convenient!
"Fire!" Alex suddenly mimicked Navia again: "I'm Hydro element here."
Then, his Combat Skill summon, little Sigewinne, jumped high and stood on Alex's head.
In the next moment, little Sigewinne raised her head, aimed at the sky ahead, and then rapidly spat out Hydro bubbles.
This time, the Hydro bubbles didn't just float straight forward. Instead, they first floated above the Legendary Phoenix's head, and in the next moment, they quickly fell as if losing gravity.
The rhythm was that whenever Navia's cannonballs dropped, Alex's Hydro bubbles would smash down.
The skill elements perfectly intertwined, and Hydro element symbols + Geo element symbols constantly appeared above the monsters' heads.
Because Alex's Hydro element application was very strong, it continuously applied Hydro.
(ᗜ ˰ ᗜ) This time, even Navia silently glanced at Alex.
Alex placed his single hand, making an 'eight' gesture, on his chin and said proudly: "My imitation is spot-on~"
"Tutututu." The Baron Bunny floating behind him never stopped its fists and drills from start to finish.
Finally, a Cryo element symbol suddenly appeared, replacing the Geo element.
Hydro element symbols + Cryo element symbols appeared above the Legendary Phoenix's Coppelius head, but because it was a BOSS, it wasn't Frozen.
Baron Bunny's Cryo element drill had now become a counterproductive hindrance.
Alex finally set it to only punch with normal attacks, dealing just physical DMG.
It was also at this moment... "Pop~"
Suddenly, a splash of water, audible only to Alex, rang out.
Alex's eyes instantly lit up. This sound... Alex saw the sky-blue circular energy bar slowly appearing in the lower right of his vision.
The energy had now reached the minimum 100 energy node required to activate his ultimate.
"It's my turn, let us feel joy!" Alex didn't have any particular rules when unleashing his ultimate; he just said whatever came to mind!
In the next instant, a blue circle appeared around Alex.
Chiori and Navia, who hadn't stopped their normal attacks, found that all the attacks they made by swinging their weapons turned blue.
Not only were they blue! The attribute DMG they dealt also changed from physical DMG or Geo element DMG to Hydro element!
"Sleeve!" Chiori said, marking another target, then instantly appeared in front of the Legendary Phoenix's Coppelius, unleashing a long slash full of Geo element.
Then, she swung both hands from left to right, delivering another slash brimming with blue Hydro element.
"Swish swish swish." Chiori lowered herself, her two Swords glowing with Hydro element blue light, continuously thrusting forward.
Chiori smiled, finding it quite interesting. Although she didn't use Geo element much in her own combat, she hadn't expected to be able to use other elements in battle too.
She hadn't seen Alex use this before; he always rode his Baron Bunny to create openings. Turns out he had another trick up his sleeve!
"Frontal ambush!" Even Navia, after firing her skill's cannon shot, still raised her large axe and swung it left and right.
Each strike was followed by a blue glow, dealing massive Hydro element DMG!
"Oh-ho!" Navia exclaimed with joy, experiencing the pleasure of attacking with other elements.
So far, the feedback from everyone after Alex activated his "Water Park" ultimate:
Lyney: Can't get any, not a single bit! Why can't I get any? But it doesn't matter, pure Pyro is enough.
Lynette: Not bad, used it before, good experience, can trigger Swirl herself.
Charlotte: Where is it? He never activated it when I was there? Take me next time!
Chevreuse: Basically no need for close combat, just shooting bullets with the long rifle is enough.
Clorinde: No effect!
...Back to Alex, he had already unleashed his ultimate.
Hurry up! After all, the ultimate only lasts for thirty seconds!
Two automaton humanoids. No need to think, just Swirl them up!
"Wrath of the Dragon King!"
This time was even more ferocious than the last!
A surging wave crashed violently against the two Legendary Phoenixes.
During this, Alex even felt the female dancer, Coppelius, trying to slide away and separate.
But!
Hmph, trying to escape???
It's too late!!!
The waves struck both of them, completely disregarding their hundreds of pounds of weight, and still swept them up in a Hydro tornado.
Takeoff!!!
The two automatons were lifted four to five meters off the ground by Alex!
This move by Alex made things a bit difficult for Navia and Chiori, essentially disabling their normal attacks.
No more playing with Hydro; Navia and Chiori's joy instantly vanished.
