It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 666 Revealing the True Form
The flames landed on the skeleton, and the lifeless bones were instantly ignited.

The bones covered by flames seemed to glow like shimmering white jade, and the already thin mist in the area was completely dispelled as a result.

The light emanating from the prophet's remains illuminated the surroundings, allowing everyone to see the maze boss more clearly, as well as other stone pillars faintly visible about 100 meters away on either side of the pillar.

Huangfu Miaomiao turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Pei Xianjue, her eyes filled with undisguised smugness.

—See, I guessed right!
Pei Xianjue smiled, then her expression turned serious, silently reminding herself not to be careless.

“Let’s go, let’s ignite the remaining remains of the prophet,” Pei Xianjue said, leading the team away from the platform.

The fog below was still thick, and visibility was extremely low, far less than the open view from the platform.

The twelve stone pillars are connected by iron chains and are arranged in a circle. They are easy to find, but climbing up and down each time is a bit troublesome. Apart from that, there are no difficulties or obstacles in moving around.

As more and more of the prophet's remains were ignited, the mist in this area almost completely disappeared, and holy light enveloped the land. If you stand on the platform and look around, you will find that this place is like a huge clock face, with the twelve stone pillars as the scales on the clock face, and the maze boss is located in the very center of the clock face.

As for the outer edge of the dial, layers of thick fog still churned, and it would probably only truly disappear when the maze boss died.

Pei Xianjue led her team up to the twelfth stone pillar and stood next to the remains of the prophet. They did not rush to set it on fire, because once the skeleton started to burn, it would most likely trigger a boss battle.

So, before the battle, she had to make some preparations.

Pei Xianjue's first consideration was the issue of combat distance.

“The maze boss has clearly shrunk in size, at least two-thirds smaller than its original size. Once the last remains are ignited, it should shrink even further. The problem now is that even though it's smaller, it's floating in the air, making it difficult for us to effectively attack it.” Pei Xianjue's gaze swept across the team members' faces one by one. “What's the furthest range of your skills?”

They exchanged glances, and none of them looked relaxed.

Physical attacks must make direct contact with the enemy, while the power of spells and elemental attacks, such as Holy Light and Fire, gradually decreases with distance.

The Dawn Swordsman hesitated before speaking: "My skills require a large area to move around in. I'm afraid I won't be able to attack it from the stone pillar. Not only is the distance too short, but my movements will also be restricted."

His most powerful move is similar to a charge on the battlefield, which can unleash the maximum sword energy, but the area on the stone pillar platform is limited, making it impossible to charge.

The teammate with the Holy Priest card reminded him: "If we leave the stone pillar, there is no cover in the area below, and we will be facing the maze boss's attack head-on."

"We also need to consider the height," Lin Pengpeng reminded everyone. "We're standing on the stone pillars now, about the same height as the maze boss. But if we go down, it will be at least ten meters taller than us. Even its dangling tentacles are several meters above the ground."

In a match, being in a lower position against a higher position puts you at a significant disadvantage.

Wang Xunmei looked at the maze boss in the distance, clenched her fist, frowned and said, "The boss looks big, but it can float in the air. Is it possible that it is as light as a balloon? If I can grab those tentacles, maybe I can pull it down from the sky."

Lin Pengpeng disagreed, "No, that's too risky! The maze boss might use the Soul Eater's moves. If it were to crush you with its size, it could instantly weaken you to the point of being unable to fight! In my opinion, we must strictly follow the maze's hints and use the attributes of light and order to fight against its attributes of darkness and chaos."

Wang Xunmei sighed, "You're right, we really can't ignore the effect of attribute restraint. Since the maze has this design, it means that ordinary attack methods are probably ineffective." Zhang Lu also chimed in, "But aren't these conditions for clearing the level a bit too harsh? It's hard for the alien species to assemble a team of teammates who are all of the Light attribute, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's too difficult to achieve the condition that everyone's attributes are light-type."

"There are twelve stone pillars. Do we need twelve members of the Light faction? Are we supposed to stand scattered on the twelve stone pillars?"

"No, no, no, I don't think spreading out is a good idea. Don't forget, the Light faction members have very low defense and need protection."

The team members discussed it amongst themselves.

Pei Xianjue listened quietly, giving everyone ample opportunity to express themselves and wanting to hear as many opinions as possible in order to formulate the next action plan.

At the end of the discussion, Pei Xianjue spoke calmly: "Attribute counters are crucial, but normal attacks can still serve to cover and disperse firepower. The twelve remains of the prophets are not just decorations; they will help us resist the maze boss. Therefore, I have decided to divide the team into four groups, with four Light-element members serving as the four group leaders. Each group leader can choose any stone pillar as their combat area and wait for the boss battle to begin. Now—move out!"

At a command, everyone quickly divided into groups.

Apart from Pei Xianjue and Huangfu Miaomiao, the remaining twenty people were divided into groups of five.

Dawn Swordsman, Pigeon, Lin Pengpeng, Wang Xunmei, and Zhang Lu formed one group and stayed on the stone pillar where Pei Xianjue was, while the other groups quickly left and went to other stone pillars.

The platform on the stone pillar has limited space; if there are too many people, there won't be any room to move around, making combat extremely difficult.

The current number of people is just right.

Pei Xianjue opened her palm, and another flame rose. She lowered her chin slightly and asked everyone through the walkie-talkie, "All to your positions. We are about to face the primordial Chaos God, Chaos—"

She reached out and set the last remains of the prophet ablaze.

A holy and familiar light emanated, and all the remaining remains reacted, illuminating an ever-expanding area until it finally dispelled the last wisp of mist within the altar.

At this moment, the entire altar was as bright as day!

The maze boss at the very center began to tremble violently, as if being burned by flames, its body constantly vaporizing! Grayish-black mist surged from its body, then evaporated in the radiance, causing the boss's size to shrink smaller and smaller!
In the end, its size shrank to only ten meters long, a far cry from its original castle-like size. Moreover, its body became more substantial, no longer a fleeting, misty existence.

The mist surrounding the altar turned completely blood red!

Pei Xianjue finally understood the meaning of that sentence: "Only by rekindling the altar and letting the light reappear on the earth can the primordial chaos reveal its true form."

The monster, now revealing its true form, let out a sharp hiss under the white light, then looked menacingly in Pei Xianjue's direction!
The next second, it pounced like a black whirlwind!
As if she had anticipated this, Huangfu Miaomiao turned and hid behind the remains! At the same time, she shouted, "Everyone, hide quickly!"

Pei Xianjue's face tightened as he drew his twin swords and shouted, "Don't dodge! Kill them all!!!"
