Chapter 697. Real Demonic Battle Boots
The most important thing about Andros's Shadow Clone was not its Attack power. It was not his Defence that allowed him to tank against the boss. It was his {Purify} that could nullify the annoying effect of {Mind Control} of Pauillac that mattered the most!
However, the system deemed that the monster horde would be more annoying than the{Mind Control} by the boss. Hence, the system provided players with a huge advantage at the start of the boss battle. Andros's Shadow Clone was meant to be there to wipe out the entire horde of Elite Tier monsters. Truth to be told, normal players would definitely find it more difficult to deal with so many Elite Tier monsters at the same time. If these monsters got the chance to swarm up on normal players, they would be as good as dead. They might even get wiped out in an instant --- not every player had an Inheritance Transformation Skill, after all.
Of course, if the number of players joining into this boss battle increased to a certain extent, they might stand a chance to push the monster horde back with numbers and slay them all. That is also one of the most used tactics in challenging a super boss in an Open World Map. The more, the merrier!
The moment when Andros's Shadow Clone dies, Zhang Yang became the one who took over the job of tanking against the boss, of course. The moment he took over the responsibility, the boss came up with a {Shadow Blast} as a greeting and stunned everyone for 5 seconds, closely followed by a series of {Shadow Arrows}!
Those who were stunned would receive an additional 50% damage from each {Shadow Arrow}! Zhang Yang did not intend to use his {Warrior's Will} to break free from the Stun Effect on him. After activating his {Charge Up Strike}, he activated his {God of War Devastation} and caused more than 2,000,000 damage to the boss! It was a massive blow to the boss!
Even though the rest of his party members also had Skills that could break themselves free of the 'Stun Effect', none of them actually attempted to use those Skills at all. They waited out for the 5-second Stun Effect to fade. Unfortunately, now that they have lost Andros's {Purify} to counter the {Mind Control} of the boss, everyone would have to make use of their own ways of surviving. Their best way to counter Pauillac's {Mind Control} was to use their Status Restriction Skills that they could spare. Therefore, they had to be extra cautious in using their Status Restriction Skills.
As expected, in less than a couple of seconds, the boss shot out a dark light right from the tip of his finger at Han Ying Xue. That dark light had turned Han Ying Xue against her own party members, and she began to heal the boss up! Unfortunately for that, Priests did not have any Status Restriction Skills on them. All they could do was to activate the 'Invincibility Effect' of their accessories to break themselves free of the boss' {Mind Control}.
However, accessories had a cooldown period of 10 minutes. If the boss decides to pick Han Ying Xue as his next victim again, that would be the end for the party.
Now that everyone had activated their Inheritance Transformation Skills, their Maximum HP had been boosted up so much that their amount of HPs looked unrealistically high! Even if their Healers are controlled for a period of time, they would still be able to survive for quite a while. The boss would not be able to cause any fatal blows to any one of them within such a brief moment.
