During this time, only Alex was firing with his Baron Bunny, and Navia was firing with her umbrella.
Because they were swirled too high by Alex's Hydro Archon, Chiori couldn't fly up to them.
He could only watch, and a few seconds later, Alex noticed Chiori and directly threw a long-barreled blunderbuss at him.
Uh, well, he's changed to a longer one again this time, right?
Chiori said nothing, silently raised the gun, and using his element power, fired a rather powerful Geo element cannonball.
Thirty seconds is neither short nor long, but in any case, this meant a lot more piling on.
At this moment, Alex saw that the HP bar displayed under Coppelius's name had dropped by about a fifth!
The ultimate skill's duration ended, and the Hydro Archon controlling the two Legendary Phoenix finally dissipated.
"Thump!" "Thump!" The two dancers fell down.
Then, in an instant, Alex saw the HP bar instantly disappear for a long stretch, finally leaving only a short section, probably only a tenth of its full HP.
"Oh!" Alex thought of a new way to play.
He could even swirl people up himself!
As an early-game player, fall DMG was definitely the best way to play!
Fall DMG, the god of early game!
Alex remembered that in the early new player stage, he liked to use Jean's Combat Skill, which could deal two instances of fall DMG! Many Spiral Abyss runs relied on Jean for this.
But now, his usual self couldn't swirl people, and there was a significant cooldown during his ultimate skill.
Finally, Alex shook his head and gave up. However, he had already made up his mind.
As long as it was a monster, when he used his ultimate, he would swirl it as high as possible. Wouldn't the fall DMG at the end be stronger than him chipping away for a long time?
It would be best if, like the shouting fountain, he quickly swirled them high, then let them fall to the ground, and then swirled them up and let them fall again, repeating the cycle.
The ultimate skill's duration was enough for him to do it many times!
Speaking of fountains, after he was done, he had to go to Lucine Fountain and listen carefully. Who exactly was speaking... Then, the remaining bit of HP on the Legendary Phoenix would be easy to deal with!
Before long, the three of them easily defeated the two dancers, leaving them paralyzed on the ground.
Alex's view, however, showed a Ley Line Outcrops appearing in the middle of the field.
He directly collected it and obtained some materials.
"Good! Thank you all for your hard work!" Maillardet ran over at this moment, clapping for the three of them.
"This is your reward!" Maillardet even took out a bag of Mora: "Please come back and help me test again next time!"
"No need at all~!" Alex directly pushed his Mora bag back: "We didn't come for your money."
Good heavens, Alex hadn't expected that just by coming to fight a BOSS, someone would offer him Mora.
Alex began to urge: "Anyway, quickly activate that other mode! The female dancer!"
"That... it can't be activated yet. I need to debug it again." Maillardet scratched the back of his head.
"Alright, debug it quickly, I'll wait for you for three minutes." Alex said, crossing his arms and looking at Maillardet.
Three minutes was enough for the BOSS to respawn!
"Ah?" Maillardet was stunned. What was this guy talking about? How could it be done in three minutes? This master was too impatient!
But Maillardet still patiently said: "I'm very sorry, this debugging will take at least a few days. You see, they have been defeated and paralyzed by you, and they need to be sent back for repairs."
"What!!!" Alex's exclamation was deafening.
"Sigh..." Sitting alone on a bench not far from Lucine Fountain, Alex silently looked at the sky.
He was really frustrated! It would take several days to fix these two Legendary Phoenix after fighting them once.
If someone needed the materials dropped by this BOSS in the future, the time cost would be too great!
It felt like it was almost catching up to the output of a weekly boss!
"It's terrifying!" Although he also had plenty of time to farm.
Without a companion by his side, Alex still felt a bit lonely.
After bidding farewell to Maillardet, Navia and Chiori both planned to say goodbye to Alex.
Upon hearing this, Alex wanted to directly teleport them back, but they refused.
They said they didn't need him to send them, as they were going shopping next.
Alright, so Alex watched them safely depart.
Then, he would first find the voice of Lucine Fountain!
Perhaps, like the Damselette from the Vacher case before, he needed to help trigger the plot.
He quickly walked to Lucine Fountain.
There were still quite a lot of people around, and the sound was a bit noisy.
"Ah, boss! I have Primogem here, can you make me a lemonade?" Everyone around looked, wasn't this the legendary person?
Today's front-page headline of The Steambird was a large portrait of this lemonade-selling boss and his incredibly popular stall.
Unlike those who were only focused on research before and didn't recognize this person... Maillardet, that's you I'm talking about!
Not only was he a benevolent boss who made lemonade for everyone for free, but he was also the rumored lover of Hydro Archon Furina!
Hmm, his mood was slightly more balanced. At least now, he had given everyone benefits, and the people of Fontaine had a good impression of this outsider!
Alex hadn't expected that his reputation would improve because he was squeezing their Primogem.
Although it wouldn't get much better, after all, this was equivalent to their favorite big star being snatched away by someone else. They felt NTR'd by Akasha, and they wouldn't ship this pair!
Alex enthusiastically waved his hand, responding to similar questions from everyone: "Tomorrow morning, 8 AM tomorrow morning! Those of you who want to go had best go to Lione District to queue early."
"After all, it's quite far from Fontaine." Alex smiled, then ignored them.
With a single stride and a flash, he entered Lucine Fountain.
"..." The people around, seeing this, dared not say anything more.
Going inside was silly and strange, but it wasn't forbidden to enter.
However, everyone didn't let children play inside. After all, this was Lucine Fountain, where everyone made wishes.
Then, Alex closed his eyes and calmed his mind in the center of Lucine Fountain.
The surrounding human voices were still too noisy. At this moment, his ears still hadn't heard the voice of the water spirit that was here before.
Did he still need to use his ultimate skill??
It couldn't be that bad, at least he had vaguely heard some sound when he hadn't used it before.
Inside Lucine Fountain, the water underground was quite deep, reaching above his ankles.
And there was no place to sit here.
Afterward, Alex stood there for a long time, but his ears still only heard the gurgling of water. The number of people around hadn't decreased.
Instead, during this time, Alex heard several couples come here to make wishes, hoping to have a child, praying for safety, and so on.
