Chapter 840 Defeating Midil!

According to the game's lore, the dragon-hunting armor in Ringed City is the same one that players defeated and fell to this location during the main storyline of the game.

Li You didn't know what was going on with the body inside the Hall of Heroes, but judging from what he had seen before, the changes were indeed significant; even the shield in its hand had been replaced.

Even so, he seems to follow the most original setting—his original form is the armor of an ancient dragon hunter, inheriting the will to fight.

Therefore, when a dragon is seen, the Dragon Slayer Armor will fight bravely.

Conversely, Li You and Thor were not compatible when facing the Dragon Slayer Armor, but it was a different story when dealing with Midil.

Li You's flames are effective against the power of the abyss, and although Thor's lightning is different from Gwyn's Sungun, it can still produce additional effects.

At this moment, seeing Midir pressing the Dragon Hunter Armor under his claws and about to unleash a burst of white light from his mouth, Li You did not hesitate to draw his great bow, pull out the Dragon Hunter Arrow, imbue it with divine power, and pierce through the air with a single arrow!

"Boom boom——"

The giant arrow flew out, creating a swirling storm, and the sound of it cutting through the air echoed throughout the underground cave.

The arrow landed precisely on the head of the black dragon Midir. The white light in his mouth was about to transform into a terrifying breath that would engulf the dragon-hunting armor, but at this crucial moment, it was deflected to one side by Li You's arrow. The accumulated breath was reduced to a small beam of impure energy that shot out and landed on the inner wall of the cave, easily tearing the thick stone wall apart.

Midil immediately flew into a rage. He turned towards Li You's direction—though he had no eyes, he could still sense the presence of others—and let out an enraged growl.
But at that moment, several thick bolts of lightning summoned by Thor appeared and struck Midil's battered dragon wings from above.

"Crack!!"

The two attacks undoubtedly enraged Midil. As a descendant of an ancient dragon, Midil was not unintelligent, nor was he a mindless beast; however, years of erosion from the abyss had left his consciousness frequently in a state of chaos.

In this state, Midil will only act according to his instinctive impulses.

So at this moment, he released the Dragon Hunter Armor without hesitation and turned to charge towards Li You and Thor.

Midil roared furiously, slashing with its claws and tearing with its jaws as it advanced, spewing forth fiery breath.

But Li You was already very familiar with these moves. Li You, carrying Thor, rose and fell, and in a few flashes, he dodged all of Midil's attacks.

If Midil had eyes, they would surely be filled with disbelief at this moment.

But his attack wasn't over yet. After five consecutive fire-breathing and clawing bites, he roared once more, his massive body slightly retreating to gather strength before charging forward and lunging to bite!

Midil's charged lunge was incredibly fast, and even Li You, carrying Thor, couldn't easily dodge it.

So he let go, pushed Thor to the side, and flapped his wings in the opposite direction to dodge. Both of them just barely avoided the giant jaws that Midil was about to bite down on.

The two also displayed remarkable teamwork in combat. The instant Midil's sharp teeth grazed his body, Thor swung his Mjolnir, summoning lightning, and slammed it down heavily on Midil's black head!
Li You was not idle either. The spiral sword in his hand transformed into the shape of a dragon-hunting spear. At the same time that Thor made his move, he also slashed at the other side of Midil's head.

"Boom!!"

Golden and blue lightning flashed in the underground cave, illuminating the dark mud of the abyss.

Even Midil felt the pain from such a heavy blow. He jerked his head up and even involuntarily propped himself up, taking a large step back before he could recover.

But that wasn't all. The Dragon Slayer Armor that he had forgotten earlier had already gotten up. Seeing that Midir wasn't even looking at him, the Dragon Slayer Armor didn't hesitate for a moment. He put the great shield on his back, gripped the Dragon Slayer Axe with both hands, and delivered a heavy blow to Midir's tail!

"Roar!!"

The successive heavy blows enraged Midil, who immediately flapped his four wings, his entire body radiating black abyssal power.

He absorbed the dark, misty substance from the abyss to his side, and then it transformed into a purplish-black light that shot into the sky, bursting forth and blotting out the sun!

"boom--!!"

The sudden burst of power sent the dragon-hunting armor behind him flying. Li You, however, anticipated this and pulled Thor aside to avoid it.

But Midil didn't pay any attention to their responses. After a brief flap of its wings, it took flight, bringing Li You and the other two, along with the Dragon Hunter Armor, into its field of vision. Then, flames mixed with black smoke began to emerge from its mouth.

Thor thought he was going to breathe fire again and was about to rush up from the side to give him another blow, but Li You grabbed him and said, "Wait, something's not right!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the flames in Midil's mouth dissipated, and a dazzling white light condensed. Then, a beam of pure energy, black and white, shot out from his throat!

"Get out of the way!!"

Even if Li You had seen through the situation beforehand, he didn't even have time to push Thor away. Although Midil's moves weren't much different from what Li You knew, his actual power, speed, and pressure completely exceeded the reaction limits of ordinary people.

So when Li You recognized Midir's move, he kicked Thor in the stomach, sending him flying far away, and then quickly moved away himself. Thor, with his big belly, wouldn't be hurt by the kick anyway.

The black and white beam of pure energy followed closely behind, sweeping across the spot where the two had been standing. It not only nearly tore the ground apart but also left a light white mark in the area it passed through.

The next moment, a large burst of purplish-black flames erupted from the white streak, incinerating everything in its path!
After the flames dissipated, the abyssal black mud on this ground was burned away, and for a long time no other black mud flowed over, as if this breath had created a temporary absolute space.

This was the breath Midil had intended to use to destroy the Dragon Slayer Armor, and it was also his most destructive attack.

As for how powerful it is? In Li You's estimation, if either he or Thor were to take such a hit, they wouldn't even need to be fully exposed to the subsequent explosion before they could immediately say goodbye to their journey to Valhalla, without any room for negotiation.

Because of its terrifying characteristics and power, Li You has always jokingly referred to this breath attack as "the destructive jet of white light." And in reality, Midir's move truly deserves the description of "crushing everything."

For example, on the other side, Midil's breath did not end after the first strike, but instead turned to sweep towards the Dragon Hunter Armor beside him.

The Dragon Slayer Armor, unaware of its power, actually tried to raise its shield and use the Golden Style Counterattack to defend itself.

Although he didn't know whether the dragon-hunting armor was sentient, Li You still shouted a warning: "Don't block! Get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; Midil's white breath had already reached him!

With just a slight touch, the golden counterattack array on the shield was instantly shattered, without even a chance to condense a golden beam of light to retaliate.

Although the magic array somewhat dispersed the power of the white light breath, the remaining part still struck the shield, immediately causing cracks to appear on the surface of the thick shield!
The great shield, which had remained unscathed even after being struck by the combined full force of Li You and Thor, shattered easily under the destructive white light.

Fortunately, Li You's warning was effective. The Dragon Hunter Armor seemed to retain the ability to think, so it began to retreat when Li You spoke up. Although it was grazed by the white light twice, it did not suffer much damage except for the shield.

Dodging the white light breath and the subsequent explosion, the Dragon Slayer Armor seemed to lower its head and look at the shield whose outer layer was almost completely shattered. Fortunately, the blessing effect of the Golden Return was still there, and its inner layer was also intact and still usable.

So the Dragon Slayer Armorer picked up the Dragon Slayer Axe, tapped it on the half-broken shield, and then strode towards Midil!

Midil roared as well. Unleashing his full power, even utilizing the power of the abyss, he was undoubtedly at his strongest. Although the Dragon Slayer Armor charged, possessing the greatest resilience among all humanoid bosses in the Soul Tribe, it only took two swipes from Midil before being sent flying again. While the Dragon Slayer Armor, also thanks to its thick hide, escaped injury, it couldn't inflict any damage whatsoever; even its powerful anti-dragon attack was meaningless.

However, it was impossible to expect to defeat Midir with the Dragon Slayer Armor anyway. The Dragon Slayer Armor was ultimately just a set of armor that had lost its master, and besides, Midir was not comparable to an ordinary dragon.

Midil, corrupted by the darkness of humanity, gained the power of the abyss and even a soul. Though his bloodline was no longer pure, his fighting prowess was not necessarily inferior to that of the true ancient dragons.

So at this moment, Li You and Thor also made their move.

“Wa ...

Thor shouted loudly. Although Valhalla had used a temporary amnesia spell on him, his instincts as the god of thunder remained, and his control over his divine power was still intact.

At this moment, he shouted and waved Mjolnir in his hand, and rushed out in a big stride, covering more than ten meters in one step. Finally, he simply half-levitated in the air, with a dazzling blue lightning that almost covered his entire body, and rushed straight for Midil's head!

"Boom——!!"

Just as Li You had predicted, although the nature of Thor's lightning was different from that of the lightning spears passed down by Gwyn and the Sun Royal Family, Thor's lightning still caused significant damage to Midir, who was a dragon.

With his full-force hammer blow, large sections of the skin covering Midir's head were shattered!
"Roar……!!"

Midil roared, swung his head violently, and slammed it into Thor, shattering the lightning on his body and sending him flying to the side.

But Midil didn't have time to pursue, because Li You's attack had already followed closely behind!

"Try this!"

Li Youfei flew through the air, wielding his Dragon-Hunting Sword and Spear. Behind him, eight fire dragons roared and charged out!

This time, the fire dragon was not manifested by the power of the flame domain on its own, but was actively created by Li You, and its power was very different from before.

The eight fire dragons each bit into Midil's body, causing him to roar in pain. After all, the abyssal power within him particularly hated and feared the power of the Primordial Fire.

Following the fire dragons, a fiery phantom of the ninth dragon appeared around Li You. He gripped the Dragon Hunting Spear, which was transformed from the Fire-Transmitting Greatsword, and his entire body was enveloped in flames, lightning, and storms. In just a short moment, his power would be able to accumulate to its limit!

Li You's plan was to have the fire dragons help him hold off Midil for the time being, but just in case, he also called out, "Big Hammer—! Hold him off for a bit!"

Thor got up from the other side and charged toward Midil without hesitation, his lightning flashing.

However, at that very moment, Midil roared once more, and for the second time absorbed and unleashed the power of the abyss!
Li You never expected him to do this again. Firstly, this move was a sign of Midir's transition phase in the game, and Li You didn't expect it to happen a second time. Secondly, judging from Midir's condition, the abyssal power he had absorbed before had reached its limit, and if he absorbed it a second time, his body would likely collapse.

However, that's exactly what Midil did. This time, the abyssal power he unleashed was even more terrifying, shattering most of the bodies of the eight fire dragons that were binding him almost instantly.

At the same time, dark humanoid orbs emerged from beneath the ground around Midil, flying towards Thor who arrived later, shattering the lightning protecting his body and sending him flying!

"...I'm sorry, my power is almost gone."

After being knocked away, Thor barely managed to prop himself up, uttered his last words, and then collapsed, exhausted.

In an instant, Midil was no longer restricted. He slightly raised his head, locked onto Li You in mid-air, and once again, destructive white light gathered from his mouth!

Li You's mind raced in an instant as he considered a possible solution.

But he knew very well that there was no better way at the moment. Even if his strength wasn't enough, he could only unleash it as quickly as possible to fight for that last sliver of victory.

Therefore, Li You gripped the Dragon-Hunting Sword and Spear tightly.

But the next moment, just as he was about to unleash all the power he had accumulated, a tall figure suddenly leaped up from below and blocked his way.

To Li You's surprise, it was actually the Dragon Hunter Armor.

He didn't turn around, but simply raised the shattered shield and activated the Golden Retribution magic circle. A pair of black fleshy wings broke through the armor's limitations and carried him into the air, blocking Li You's path.

Before Li You could even think for a second, Midil's white breath swept over him!

"boom--"

The destructive white light struck the great shield of the Dragon Slayer Armor precisely, tearing through the Golden Retribution magic circle without a doubt and shattering the shield inch by inch.

However, the Dragon Slayer Armor did not back down at all. The moment the shield shattered, he gripped the Dragon Slayer Axe, activating all the power within him, and dazzling golden lightning wrapped around his entire body!

Without a battle cry or a message, the Dragon Slayer Armor flapped its fleshy wings and charged towards Midil's destructive white light!
"Crack!!"

He poured all his power into the Dragon Slayer Axe, and the only lightning that could protect his body disappeared. The light from the axe was so dazzling that it almost overshadowed Midil's breath!
Finally, disregarding its own shattering body, the Dragon Slayer Armor flapped its wings and flew down, swinging its great axe and chopping down with all its might!

"boom!!"

The golden axe briefly severed Midil's breath, imprinting its power onto Midil's head. This completely unexpected pain even caused Midil's breath to stop for a moment.

However, after this attack, the Dragon Hunter Armor, which had left no power to protect itself, was completely pulverized by the doubled destructive white light emitted by Midil in response.

The Dragon Hunter Armor disappeared, but at this moment, Li You's preparations were also complete.

In the brief moment that Midil paused his breath to prepare for his next attack, Li You swooped down from the sky!

Golden flames, golden lightning, an invisible storm, and purple starlight swirled around him, turning him into a shooting star as he plummeted straight down!

This was his all-out attack!
Midil only needed a few moments to unleash his second breath attack; the destructive white light barrage was his trump card move, but the timing was just that crucial instant.

Now the positions of both sides have been reversed.

So the next moment, in the blazing light, Li You crashed into Midir's head!

"Boom——!!"

In that instant, most of the Ringed City felt the shock brought about by the clash between the two powerful forces. Even the almost indestructible space inside the Hall of Heroes was torn apart by the collision between the two sides.

The rumbling sound seemed to come from deep underground and only stopped after a long time.
