Chapter 472 Mystery Under the Ice
Did Gelmir have some magic that interferes with vision?
For example, "Obfuscation" and "Translocation" may indeed have such an effect.
With doubts, Gao Fei opened the star disk to detect Gelmir lurking under the ice.
The results showed that Gelmir had changed from the original frost giant to the "Ice Element Elder Form".
His body size became super giant, his natural defense increased to 16, and he gained an impeccable damage reduction armor of 10/-, and his three physical attributes were also strengthened: strength 40, agility 22, and constitution 32.
In addition, Gelmir also has various talents and specialties of ice elements, including "Ice Walk" and "Ice Escape", and he also retains his own spiritual attributes, expertise and spellcasting ability, and his comprehensive strength has been greatly improved!
Unfortunately, Gao Fei's previous guess was wrong.
Gelmir did not have any illusions that interfered with vision, so what exactly caused him to repeatedly misjudge his true position.
Just as Gao Fei was thinking hard, Gelmir broke through the ice again.
Due to hearing loss, Gao Fei's reaction was half a beat slower than before.
Before he could intercept, he was knocked to the ground by the glacier giant who suddenly rose up under his feet.
The big shield in Gelmir's hand had turned into a sharp spear, dragging electric light and piercing Gao Fei's chest.
Puff!
The tip of the spear pierced through the dragon scales and almost injured the lungs!
Counting 3d6 points of electric shock enchantment and deducting 15 points of damage reduction armor, this shot caused a total of 26 points of damage to Gao Fei!
This is not over yet.
Gelmir succeeded in the surprise attack and immediately cast the 3rd ring necromancy magic "Vampire Touch", stretched out a huge frost palm filled with dark negative energy, pressed Gao Fei's bleeding chest, and frantically extracted his vitality to heal himself!
Gao Fei felt cold all over and shivered.
At the same time, two system prompts came into his mind:
…
"You were hit by 'Vampire Touch' and received 44 points of eclipse damage!"
"'Standing firm' allowed you to overcome the 'Eclipse' curse and restore your health limit!"
…
After two consecutive surprise attacks, Gao Fei's health bar had been reduced by one-fifth.
When he stood up, the cunning Gelmir had already escaped into the ice and lurked.
Gao Fei slapped a "First Aid" on his chest, which slightly relieved the pain and his complexion improved.
After suffering two losses, he learned a lesson and finally figured out the secret of Gelmir's hiding!
This is not some magic or supernatural effect, but very basic physical common sense.
As long as you have a junior high school education, it is not difficult to understand the reason!
The problem lies in the ice layer where Gelmir hides.
As we all know, the refractive index of water is greater than that of air.
So when you stand by the pond and observe the fish swimming in the water, the fish will appear shallower than their actual position.
When water condenses into ice, the refractive index does not change much.
When Gao Fei observed Gelmir lurking under the ice, the figure he saw was also a little lighter than the real position, which led to a visual error.
He had previously ignored the difference in refractive index of light propagating in different media, and because of his injured ears, he could not use his hearing to correct the visual error, so he misjudged Gelmir's real position.
After figuring out this problem, Gao Fei's mind suddenly became clear.
He sneered and raised the holy axe, aiming at the position after the error correction and chopped it down with all his strength!
Bang!
The giant axe pierced through the ice, and debris flew.
There was also a hoarse cry in the middle.
Gelmir, who had transformed into the form of an ice element elder, had his right arm chopped off by this axe, and tried to dive deep into the ice layer with pain.
"Son of a bitch! Get out of here!"
Gao Fei roared and stomped his feet, launching an "earthquake".
The strong shock wave was introduced into the ice surface through the red dragon's feet.
With a burst of intense crackling sounds, the ice surface within the surrounding white ruler was shattered.
Gelmir, who was hiding in the ice, was also bounced out by this kick, and the ice that made up his body was covered with cracks.
Gao Fei activated "Burning with Fury" and rushed forward with a round of multiple attacks, chopping Gelmir's body into ice chips!
The holy axe successfully triggered the "critical hit", but unfortunately failed to chop off Gelmir's head.
Elemental creatures are naturally immune to critical hits, so of course they will not be killed instantly by the "decapitation" attack based on critical hits.
Gelmir turned into an ice element elder, and his physiological structure also changed. The "decapitation" special effect did not work on him.
It doesn't matter.
Gao Fei's mentality is very peaceful.
In his eyes, Gelmir is no different from a dead person anyway.
Inspiring "War Will", Gao Fei added an axe, and activated "Critical Hit" the moment he hit, directly increasing the damage.
The holy axe in the hands of the giant red dragon simultaneously turned into a giant weapon, with a double-handed damage dice of 4d12.
"Lion's Charge" doubles the weapon damage dice to 8d12.
In addition, the holy axe hits the evil ice tower warlock, and an additional 6d6 radiant damage is added.
All the above damage dice are maximized under the effect of "Critical Hit".
Add 25 strength modifier, the 10th level enchantment bonus of the holy axe, and the 5-point proficiency modifier provided by "Power Attack".
Gao Fei's axe chopped down, causing a total of 172 damage to Gelmir, and his HP instantly hit the bottom!
The huge body of the ice element elder, as big as a mountain, fell apart and collapsed.
The dying Gelmir turned back into a frost giant.
He was lying on his back among the broken ice, clutching a bottle of "Dragon Transformation Potion".
With his bloody palms, he pulled out the cork and tried to drink the life-saving potion.
Not far away on the opposite side.
The red dragon carried the holy axe and stared coldly at the final boss who was only breathing his last breath.
If Gelmir was in the first stage of the boss battle before his transformation.
After he turned into the ice element elder form, he entered the second stage of the boss battle.
Then when he drank the "Dragon Transformation Potion" at the critical moment of his death, he would replenish his HP and improve his combat power comprehensively, and he would enter the third stage of the boss battle.
However, I'm sorry.
As a non-hardcore player who often plays games and reads "skipping class" guides, Gao Fei's favorite thing to do is to interrupt the boss's transformation process before he enters the next stage and take him away directly.
Drawing a star disk energy, Gao Fei once again activated the mythical specialty "Energy Replacement" and opened his mouth to spray out a shock wave containing destructive destructive power!
Although it is colorless and invisible, this is the real dragon's breath.
To be precise, it is the "explosive dragon's breath" with the "sound wave" attribute!
Who was it that deafened me just now?
Gao Fei is not a person who likes to bear grudges.
In fact, he would take revenge on the spot if there was a grudge!
The terrifying sonic boom echoed in the hall.
Gelmir was the first to bear the brunt.
Not only was he deafened on the spot, but the Qingbing reagent bottle in his hand was also shattered by the sound wave.
The potion mixed with blood dripped from his trembling fingertips.
