Is it possible that Gelmir has blessed some kind of magic that interferes with vision?
For example, "obscuration" and "displacement" may indeed cause such an effect.
With doubts, Gao Fei opened the astrolabe to detect Gelmir lurking under the ice.
The results showed that Gelmir had changed from the original frost giant into the "ice elemental elder form".
The size becomes super giant, the natural defense is increased to 16, the invulnerable damage reduction armor is obtained 10/-, and the three physical attributes are also strengthened: strength 40, agility 22, and constitution 32.
In addition, Gelmir also has various talents and specialties of the ice element, including "Ice Walk" and "Ice Escape". He also retains his own mental attributes, expertise and spell-casting abilities, and his overall strength is greatly improved!
Unfortunately, Gao Fei's previous guess came to nothing.
Gelmir was not blessed with illusions that hindered his vision, so what was the factor that caused him to repeatedly misjudge his true location.
Just when 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 take action to intercept, he was knocked to the ground by the glacier giant that burst out from under his feet.
The big shield in Gelmir's hand has turned into a sharp spear, dragging the electric light and piercing Gao Fei's chest.
puff!
The tip of the spear pierced the dragon's scales and almost damaged his 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 Goofy!
This is not over yet.
Gelmir succeeded in the surprise attack, and immediately cast the 3-ring necromantic magic "Vampire's Touch", stretched out a giant frost palm full of dark negative energy, pressed down on Gao Fei's bleeding chest, and frantically drained his life force to use
Restore your own blood and heal your wounds!
Gao Fei felt cold all over and could not help but shiver.
At the same time, two system prompts came into my mind:
…
"You were hit by 'Vampire Touch' and received 44 points of necrotic damage!"
"'Standing Strong' allows you to overcome the 'eclipse' curse and restore your upper limit of health!"
…
After being attacked twice in a row, one-fifth of Gao Fei's health bar had been knocked out.
When he stood up, the cunning Gelmir had already escaped into the ice and lurked.
Gao Fei applied a "first aid technique" 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 hidden traces!
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 truth!
The problem lies in the ice where Gelmir is hiding.
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 swimming fish in the water, the fish appear to be shallower than where they actually are.
When water condenses into ice, the refractive index does not change much.
When Goofy observes Gelmir lurking under the ice, the figure he sees is shallower than the real position, thus causing a visual error.
He had previously ignored the difference in refractive index of light propagating in different media. In addition, due to his injured ears, he was unable to use hearing to correct visual errors, so he misjudged Gelmir's true position.
After figuring this problem out, Gao Fei suddenly felt enlightened.
He sneered and raised the holy ax high, aimed at the error-corrected position and struck hard!
Bang!
The giant ax broke through the ice, and debris flew away.
There was also a hoarse scream mixed in with it.
Gelmir, who transformed into the form of an ice elemental elder, had his right arm cut off by this axe, and endured the pain while trying to sneak into the depths of the ice.
"Son of a turtle! Get out of here!"
Gao Fei roared and stamped his feet, launching "Earth Shock".
The powerful shock wave was directed into the ice through the feet of the red dragon.
Accompanied by a burst of intensive crackling and cracking sounds, the ice surface within the surrounding white feet was shattered.
Gelmir, who was hiding in the ice, was also ejected by the kick, and the ice blocks that made up his body were covered with cracks.
Goofy activated "Rage" and charged forward with a round of multiple attacks, causing ice chips to fly all over Gelmir's body!
The holy ax successfully triggered a "critical hit", but unfortunately it failed to chop off Gelmir's head.
Elemental creatures are naturally immune to critical strikes, and of course they will not be directly killed by critical-based "decapitation" attacks.
Gelmir transforms into the form of an ice elemental elder, and his physiological structure also changes. The "decapitation" special effect does not work on him.
It doesn't matter.
Gao Fei's mentality is very peaceful.
Anyway, in his eyes, Gelmir was no different than a dead person.
Inspiring "fighting spirit", Gao Fei adds an additional axe, and activates "Knowing Blow" at the moment of hit, directly maximizing the damage.
The holy ax is in the hands of the giant red dragon, and simultaneously becomes a giant weapon, with a damage roll of 4d12 for both hands.
"Lion's Charge" doubles the weapon damage die to 8d12.
In addition, if the holy ax hits the evil Ice Tower Warlock, an additional 6d6 radiant damage will be added.
The above-mentioned damage dice all take the maximum value under the effect of "knowing blow".
Add to this a 25 Strength modifier, the 10th-level enchantment bonus from the Holy Axe, and a 5-point proficiency modifier from Power Attack.
Gao Fei struck down with his axe, causing a total of 172 points of damage to Gelmir, and his HP instantly bottomed out!
The ice elemental elder's huge mountain-like body fell apart and collapsed.
The dying Gelmir returned to his frost giant form.
He was lying on his back among the broken ice, clutching a bottle of "Dragon Transformation Potion" tightly.
With his hands dripping with blood, he uncorked the bottle with trembling hands and tried to drink the life-saving medicine.
Not far from the opposite side.
The giant red dragon carried the holy ax and stared coldly at the final boss who only had his last breath left.
If we say that before Gelmir transforms, it is the first stage of the boss battle.
After transforming into the ice elemental elder form, you will enter the second stage of the boss battle.
Then when he is on the verge of death, he drinks the "Dragon Transformation Potion" to replenish his HP and comprehensively improve his combat effectiveness, and he will enter the third stage of the boss battle.
But I'm sorry.
As a non-hardcore player who often reads "skipping class" guides while playing games, one of Gao Fei's favorite things to do is to interrupt the boss's transformation process before he enters the next stage, and directly attack him
take away.
Extracting an astrolabe energy, Gao Fei once again activated the mythical specialty "Energy Replacement", opening his mouth and spitting out a shock wave containing devastating destructive power!
Although it is colorless and invisible, this is the real dragon's breath.
To be precise, it is "Explosive Dragon Breath" with "sonic" properties!
Who was it that made me deafen my ears just now?
Gao Fei is not a vengeful person.
In fact, he took revenge on the spot when he had a grudge!
The terrifying sonic boom roar echoed in the hall.
Gelmir bore the brunt.
Not only was he deafened on the spot, but the Qingbing reagent bottle in his hand was also shattered by the sound waves.
The potion mixed with blood dripped from the trembling fingertips.
