A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

98: Confronting the First Mage, EmileA moment later, Bai Tian appeared on a massive stone platform floating above the firmament, where dark clouds pressed down on the earth, exuding an ancient aura.

“Brilliant, Flowers in Full Bloom, you two quickly mark this place!”

A voice full of youthful vigor suddenly rang out.

Nearby, a Level 25 young warrior with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing half-purple equipment and the ID God Sky, was shouting a reminder.

The people he had summoned, besides Bai Tian, included Flowers in Full Bloom, Frost Like Snow, and the Undefeated Monarch.

Additionally, there were three other extraordinary Second Transfer elite players over Level 20: the Level 23 Archer Nanmu to the South, the Level 20 Assassin Twinkling Starry Sky, and the Level 23 Mage Compassionate Voyage.

This place seemed extraordinary. Bai Tian hadn’t had time to look around carefully yet, but he knew God Sky wouldn’t have used a Main Talisman at the last moment just to have him and Flowers in Full Bloom mark it without reason.

There was definitely something special about this place!

Currently, only the top twenty players in the server-wide points ranking were rewarded with the [netherworld positioning talisman], and Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom happened to meet the criteria.

However, at that moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking toward Bai Tian and his group.

The lightning churned like a silver dragon, with an extremely wide attack range and a fast, accurate, and ruthless approach that made it unavoidable.

God Sky immediately warned everyone: “Emil is here, everyone activate Invincibility first!”

In mid-air, a Western girl with golden hair descended, bearing snowy-white Four Angel Wings on her back, looking like a female angel descending to the mortal world.

She stood atop the head of a Western dragon mount that was dark green all over and had four dark-green scaled wings.

This was the number one Mage in the entire server, Emil, Level 33, from the Freedom Zone.

Her sudden appearance and lightning strike made everyone cautious.

Except for Bai Tian, everyone activated Invincibility immediately.

Clearly, besides Bai Tian, no one dared to test Emil’s attack.

After taking a hit from Emil, Bai Tian felt numb all over, and a shocking damage number popped up over his health bar.

[True Magic Damage: -36,158!]

[80x Rebound: -2,892,640!]

After putting on the azure haze outfit, Bai Tian’s health was as high as 36,652 points, but under Emil’s single strike, only 494 health remained.

Yet Emil, standing atop the Ghost Poison Dragon, didn’t see her health bar move an inch despite having over 2.9 million health points rebounded onto her by Bai Tian.

Damn!

How did she do it?

Upon discovering this, Bai Tian was stunned and quickly filled his health back up.

At this time, Emil stood in the sky like a goddess. Her flawless face suddenly darkened as she stared intently at Bai Tian.

Flowers in Full Bloom noticed that one of the snowy-white Four Angel Wings on Emil’s back was missing and immediately spoke up to alert him.

“Brilliant, she’s missing one of her Angel Wings.”

Bai Tian’s pupils constricted, and he indeed noticed that one of the snowy-white Four Angel Wings behind Emil was gone.

Perhaps this was the reason she remained unharmed after having 2.9 million health points rebounded.

High in the sky, Emil remained silent. She raised her orange treasure sword, calling down lightning once again.

She launched another ranged attack, the power of lightning surging toward them.

Simultaneously, the Ghost Poison Dragon mount beneath her feet let out a sky-shaking roar, breathing out a foul toxic mist that blotted out the sun.

—(Ding-dong!)

([Ghost Poison Dragon] has activated its Domain Skill—[Corrosive Plague].)

(All hostile targets within a 100-meter radius lose 1% health per second and cannot recover health.)

The mount Emil possessed was a 12-star Spirit Beast—the Ghost Poison Dragon!

He didn’t expect its skill to be so terrifying; it was a natural counter to Bai Tian’s recovery methods.

Flowers in Full Bloom had the fastest reaction. She didn’t just take the hits for nothing; she had already charged out with the Little Phoenix Zombie, intending for it to fly her into the sky to attack Emil.

However, a land-walking strange bird monster with golden feathers and a snake’s head suddenly appeared, blocking the Little Phoenix Zombie and Flowers in Full Bloom.

This was Emil’s pet—an 11-star Spirit Beast-level Golden Snake Owl.

Bai Tian’s best means of attack currently was taking hits. He decisively cast the Cold Abyss Shield on himself, which was enough to absorb 80,000 damage.

God Sky and the others also scattered, dodging Emil’s attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Bai Tian took three more solid hits from Emil’s lightning.

[Damage: -15,617, -15,677, -15,883!]

Even though Bai Tian’s health was full and he had a powerful shield, under this wave of attacks, he was still knocked into the [Growth] state, and his health dropped significantly.

“Holy crap!”

Bai Tian exclaimed.

Emil’s lightning magic damage was actually True Damage; even the Cold Abyss Shield couldn’t block it.

However, after she attacked Bai Tian three times, she also had to endure three instances of 80x Rebound damage.

Each Rebound was enough to kill her.

Fortunately, she possessed the mysterious [Saint - Angels Wings], which could block lethal damage four times.

“This Rebound is truly troublesome.”

Although Bai Tian’s Rebound damage was hard to deal with, Emil did not retreat. After giving Bai Tian a cold glance, she decided to launch another lightning offensive, vowing to defeat Bai Tian in one go.

However, the others present were no pushovers.

“If you want to kill my Brilliant, keep dreaming!”

As Emil prepared to continue her attack on Bai Tian, Frost Like Snow below suddenly activated her talent skill—’Transposition’.

In an instant, she forcibly swapped positions with Emil on top of the Ghost Poison Dragon.

This move directly disrupted Emil’s attack rhythm.

Flowers in Full Bloom was a genius at seizing combat opportunities. Almost the moment Frost Like Snow swapped Emil down, she launched a fatal combo, attacking Emil like a torrential storm.

At the same time, Bai Tian, God Sky, the Undefeated Monarch, and the other top experts from the Great Xia Region also seized the moment, launching a fierce assault on Emil together.

Facing everyone’s siege, Emil did not show any sign of panic.

Golden light flashed across her body, and her aura instantly surged.

After tanking the first strike from Flowers in Full Bloom, she first countered with a precise sword strike, successfully parrying the rest of Flowers in Full Bloom’s attacks.

Simultaneously, she swept her right palm, forming a golden light shield that absorbed all the attacks from Bai Tian and the others.

Emil’s Hidden Class was Holy Archangel, which possessed dual combat forms.

The ranged form was the Thunder Angel, capable of casting powerful ranged lightning spells; the melee form was the Battle Angel, possessing formidable close-quarters combat abilities.

Except for Flowers in Full Bloom, not a single person’s attack had hit her.

Emil’s power exceeded the imagination of everyone present.

Even Bai Tian was shocked by it.

However, Bai Tian was prepared. He raised his hand and cast the indiscriminate area-of-effect skill, Nether Vortex.

At the same time, the Little Dragon Zombie and the Ancestral Return Strange Horse quickly closed in, launching a fierce dual attack on Emil.

But Emil didn’t show the slightest bit of tension. Holding her orange sword, her entire being seemed to become sanctified as she entered an invincible state.

All the attacks from Bai Tian, his pets, and his mount were blocked by her invincibility.

Then, Emil swung her sword and stabbed it into the ground. A burst of golden light scattered like a hurricane, instantly killing Twinkling Starry Sky on Bai Tian’s side.

“Damn it!”

With a face full of indignation, Twinkling Starry Sky’s health hit zero, and he fell to the ground.

“You guys are pretty good. This is the first time I’ve been pushed to this point!”

Emil’s gaze swept over Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom: “We’ll decide the winner tomorrow night.”

A moment later, the system’s teleportation light descended, sending Bai Tian and the others out.

Tonight’s event time for the Nether Heaven Great Realm had reached its limit.

When Bai Tian returned to the Great Xia Region, his health was down to only a few hundred points.

In this battle, eight against one, they hadn’t even managed to take down Emil, and they had even lost Twinkling Starry Sky to her.

This left Bai Tian feeling extremely stifled and angry.

If they had just one or two more seconds, Emil would have definitely died under their siege.

However, even if they could have killed her, his side would likely have suffered several more casualties.

But this brief battle had given Bai Tian a more direct understanding of some of Emil’s methods.

The Four Angel Wings she possessed could block lethal damage four times.

This meant that in a short period, Emil only had five to six chances to strike, and she had to ensure those strikes could kill Bai Tian twice.

Once her chances were exhausted and Bai Tian remained alive, then the one to die would definitely be Emil.

At this time, Flowers in Full Bloom sent a voice message: “Brilliant, let’s head back to the city. God Sky has something important to tell us.”

God Sky had been in such a hurry earlier, not hesitating to use a Main Talisman just to get Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom there to mark the spot.

It must have some extremely significant importance.

Filled with curiosity and eager to know the reason, Bai Tian replied without hesitation: “Alright!”
