Chapter 224 Leviathan vs Poisonous Commodus Dragon
The summoned Leviathan was a beast that moved on quadrupeds and had a head similar to a dragon's. Although the Leviathan was composed of pure fire, it seemed almost completely real if not for the flickering flames that formed the beast.
Yao Mei didn't say a word and, knowing that time was an even more fearsome enemy than the Poisonous Commodus Dragon in this case, pointed her small hand towards the boss.
Swoosh!
Without delay, the fire monster charged towards the scaly giant, obeying the orders of its summoner. Like the summonings of Summoner-class players, the Leviathan could never disobey Yao Mei's orders since, although it was a beast with a certain sense of intelligence, it was a skill of hers.
Although the Leviathan was as big as the boss, in just a split second it had already arrived next to the Poisonous Commodus Dragon. The Leviathan opened its giant mouth and mercilessly bit the Poisonous Commodus Dragon's left shoulder.

Not only did the bite of the fire monster cause the Poisonous Commodus Dragon to suffer great damage in the blink of an eye, when the Leviathan stopped biting, several crimson flames still remained burning on the boss's body. These flames were an innate ability of the Leviathan's flames; it could cause 400 points of constant fire-type damage for ten seconds! The best part of this was that as long as the Leviathan attacked before ten seconds had passed, the 'Burn' effect would continue non-stop!
Roar!

The Poisonous Commodus Dragon roared in pain at the crimson flames slowly corroding its body. Even more frustrated, the dark-scaled monster raised its fist and mercilessly punched the Leviathan's body!
Bang!
The Poisonous Commodus Dragon's fist smashed hard into one of Leviathan's legs and it broke out in diminutive flames; there was no sign of damage, the leg simply disappeared.
However, before the players could cry out in worry and disappointment at the fire monster's weakness, the missing extremity immediately regenerated from the flames of its body as if nothing had happened!
While everyone was shocked, Yao Mei's gaze continued to be unperturbed. She knew that, since Leviathan was a fire beast different from normal summonings, as long as she fed mana or mind power to the beast, it could continue to exist. The only requirement was that the flames in the Leviathan's body were not completely extinguished; as long as there remained a flame, the beast's body could regenerate. The problem with this was that the mana consumption would increase exponentially depending on the damage received.
Bang! -6101

The Leviathan raised its right claw and mercilessly struck the body of the boss. The Poisonous Commodus Dragon roared in pain again, sending a shiver down the players' spines as they wondered how painful the flames burning the beast's body must be to make it roar like that.
The battle continued and twenty seconds passed from the beginning of the battle between the two giant monsters.
During these twenty seconds, the Poisonous Commodus Dragon attacked non-stop with all kinds of attacks; it used its tail, its fists, jumped, and stomped on the Leviathan's body... However, no matter how many times the boss attacked, the Leviathan's body continued to regenerate as if it was an existence impossible to be killed.
Moreover, the Leviathan attacked twenty times in total and in just twenty seconds took almost 123,000 health points from the Poisonous Commodus Dragon's health bar. However, thanks to the constant fire damage caused by the 'Burn' effect, the total damage was 131,000 points!
131,000 health points in just twenty seconds! Although players didn't know how much HP the boss had, they could see its health bar dropping. Even with only one tick missing since the total damage the boss had taken so far was approximately 335,000 points, they could see hope!
The Leviathan still continued to battle fiercely as if it would not stop until it claimed the life of its enemy.
The players were so excited that some of them even started shouting and cheering Yao Mei loudly with all kinds of praise. As long as she kept the fire monster, victory would be theirs! Even Yao Zenyu had a smile on his face as he watched the distant battle; from his point of view, victory was already within reach.
However, everyone was so focused on victory that none of them noticed that Yao Mei's beautiful face had turned pale as a sheet; the blush had left her face as if the blood in her body had been completely drained away.
Currently, Yao Mei was in a difficult situation. She was barely struggling to stand up and was biting her lips so hard that if this were not a virtual world her beautiful once red and now pale lips would have cracked.
Yao Mei had a total of just over 2600 mana points. Considering that Leviathan consumed 500 mana points per second to sustain the summoning, the battle between the two giants should have already ended only five seconds after it started. However, Yao Mei began to consume her own mental power to maintain the fire monster's summoning.
Since Samsara Online transported the player's mind along with their innate abilities into the virtual world, there were special skills that, coming from the Esper special powers of the real world, could also be used with mental power instead of mana. However, the consequences were also very serious.
Yao Mei had no idea what was going to happen but she knew that it was probably not a good thing. Especially considering that she could barely stand up.
Fortunately, just as her eyes were about to turn completely white and faint, a windstorm rushed in from inside the city.
Although she didn't know how she knew that this person had finally arrived, but she unconsciously stopped providing power to the Leviathan, causing the fire beast to disappear in just a second as if it had never existed.
Just as the players were getting worried and thought that Yao Mei's skill had a time limit, they felt a windstorm blow past them. Several of the closest players were sent flying over twenty meters before falling to the ground and losing much of their HP.
This person was naturally Xie Feng, who after fully load Gale Track returned to the city. Knowing that he failed to arrive within the estimated time, Xie Feng completely ignored the fact that he was still inside the city walls and destroyed several houses on his way to the battlefield. The reason why the houses were destroyed was not because of Xie Feng.... At least, he was not 100% to blame. Xie Feng was even prepared to find a small part of the city destroyed due to his delay. However, apparently, his worries were not necessary. Later he would certainly be sure to ask what happened while he was absent.
Xie Feng clenched his teeth tightly and held firmly onto the Calamity Spear. A great whirlwind circulated around the crimson spear and with each passing second, it became more difficult for him to maintain his grip on the weapon. He was absolutely certain that if it were not for his mastery over the wind it would be absolutely impossible to keep the spear in his hands without it being sent flying.
Wooosh!
He passed several meters away from Yao Mei and, although he noticed that her body swayed slightly, he attributed it to the wind following him and continued charging towards the Poisonous Commodus Dragon. However, after inspecting the monster, Xie Feng did not expect to see that instead of regenerating HP, the monster lost it.
[Poisonous Commodus Dragon -
Grade: IMMORTAL
Level: 30
HP: 1,665,349 / 2,000,000]
The five meter tall giant, having lost the fire enemy that hurt it so much, was about to go berserk and start a massacre before finally entering the city. However, it suddenly saw a whirlwind approaching with its most hated enemy.
ROAR!!!
The boss advanced instead of retreating.
Xie Feng immediately leaped forward and activated the strongest skill he currently possessed.
[Ding!... Consecutive Light Strikes activated. Your attack speed increases by 400 points for 5 seconds. After finishing, your HP will drop by half for 6 hours.]
Although the increased attack speed was incredible, what Xie Feng was looking for was the five increased strikes of the skill!
Under everyone's wide eyes, a five meter giant and Xie Feng dragging a several meter high wind storm approached until they finally collided.
