In the arena, after the Troll Hero was sent flying 20 yards and slammed heavily to the ground, the members of both Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and Immortal War Soul who were observing from a distance were frozen on the spot.
"They repelled it!?"
"This is a Legendary boss — just how much strength does she have?"
"Is she really a Guardian Knight?"
…
For a moment, the members of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and Immortal War Soul were buzzing with discussion, unable to believe what they had just witnessed, while Undying Warheart watched with hidden alarm.
A main tank with such formidable strength — there wasn't a single one in the entirety of Immortal War Soul.
It was only now that Undying Warheart began to understand why Zero Wing dared to challenge the Hell Difficulty Eclipse Throne.
The main tank was the key to any raid. More often than not, the problem in dungeons wasn't a lack of damage output, but rather the tank's inability to hold out long enough. As long as the tank could endure, even if the first attempt failed, they only needed to find the boss's weak points and try a few more times to get through.
And the reason the major superpowers never touched ultra-large-scale dungeons was precisely because their tanks couldn't hold.
"Has her strength really improved this much?" Feng Qianyu watched Banjiu, feeling quite emotional.
The last time she had seen her, Banjiu was already quite powerful, capable of casually tanking high-ranking Grand Lords. Now, after only a short time apart, she could actually send a Legendary boss flying. The speed of her improvement was truly terrifying.
However, none of the Zero Wing members were the least bit surprised by this.
Because the Steel Crown that Banjiu wore had been upgraded by her to Epic grade, and her Steel Strike skill had also been enhanced — the power boost during attacks was no longer 300% but 400%, and her speed had been raised to 150%. With such improvements, she could easily send a level 56 Legendary boss flying.
The Troll Hero took Banjiu's charge head-on, instantly losing over 150,000 health points. Its aggro spiked through the roof, and it glared solely at Banjiu, letting out a thunderous roar as every muscle in its body bulged. It stomped the ground into rubble and charged at her as a streak of black shadow.
Though it charged directly at Banjiu, both of its great axes had been pinned to the ground by her earlier, so its attacks weren't particularly powerful — it was all brute force with nothing behind it.
Banjiu didn't even bother dodging. She drove her shield straight into the ground, bracing to take the hit head-on.
Second-tier Skill: Rebound!
This was a rare second-tier Skill Book that Banjiu had recently obtained from an Ancient Ruin — a skill capable of reflecting frontal attacks back at the attacker.
Boom!
When the Troll Hero slammed into the shield, its massive body was forced back three steps, and a damage number of over 500,000 appeared above its head.
"Good! All ranged, open fire!" Shi Feng saw that the aggro had stabilized and immediately gave the order.
The instant Shi Feng's command rang out, magical arrows and spells rained down upon the enormous Troll Hero like a hailstorm.
Damage numbers of over 10,000 popped up one after another on the Troll Hero, with occasional bursts of 30,000 to 40,000. All of that damage came from Zhao Yueru, who wielded the Fury of Ice and Fire — her numbers stood out prominently among the rest.
The ice and fire magic she cast was clearly a cut above everyone else's.
"Such high damage! Zero Wing has a Mage this powerful?" The magic-using players of Immortal War Soul were dumbfounded.
After all, they were all genuine second-tier Class holders with top-of-the-line equipment. Being able to deal 10,000 to 20,000 damage to a Legendary boss was already enough to leave many expert players green with envy, but Zhao Yueru's attacks completely shattered their worldview.
Damage of 30,000 to 40,000 was one thing, but the key was that Zhao Yueru could occasionally deal 70,000 to 80,000. Her personal output alone exceeded the combined damage of three to five of them…
They had no idea how this was possible. They were all second-tier Classes — how could the gap be this enormous?
What they didn't know was that the Fury of Ice and Fire amplified the caster's ice and fire magic by an entire tier. With Zhao Yueru having advanced to second-tier, the second-tier spells she cast were effectively elevated to third-tier. Although Zhao Yueru didn't possess third-tier spell power, the raw force of third-tier magic was far, far greater than that of second-tier.
