Alex looked at the phone interface and found a new icon: "Domain."
Clicking into it, it was a scanning interface.
Is that how it works? Alex had a guess. Then he quickly retreated.
Aiming at the center of the field, a red key indeed appeared on the phone screen. Alex tried to touch it.
[The End of Blight, unlocked]
"Rumble, rumble." The surrounding space suddenly made a sound.
This sudden movement made the two women tense up. Lynette gripped her sword, becoming vigilant.
And Furina immediately teleported behind Alex, grabbing the back of his collar.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Alex, feeling grabbed, hadn't even said anything yet.
The next moment, two ownerless Ruin Grader machines suddenly appeared on the field in front of everyone.
"They're Ruin Graders: Reconnaissance-Recording Unit," Furina immediately stated the name of the monsters in front of them.
Furina instantly dropped her guard. These kinds of machines were everywhere in Fontaine.
"Be careful! They're ownerless!" As Lynette spoke, the two Ruin Graders charged towards Alex and Furina in the center of the field.
"Oh dear!" Furina immediately scurried several steps to the outside of the platform circle.
After reaching a somewhat safe position, Furina didn't forget to clench her fists and cheer for the two: "Come on!"
Oh? This is different from the game, then. Can you just run outside without an invisible wall sealing it off?
"Go, Whopperflowers!" Alex immediately commanded the two Whopperflowers to teleport in front of him, and then both Whopperflowers began charging simultaneously.
"…" Alex truly decided that he must replace the Whopperflowers in the future; they were too slow to act.
"Here I come!" Lynette emerged from her Mysterious Phantom skill in front of Alex, then, with a sword imbued with Anemo element power, she parried the attacks of the two Ruin Graders.
Alex glanced over and saw that the two Ruin Graders now displayed their levels and HP bars.
LV59, and their HP had dropped a tiny bit.
"How much??!!!" Alex shouted in surprise.
Fortunately, his Ultimate Skill was full before coming in.
"I'll support you." Saying this, a blue circle appeared on the ground ten meters around Alex.
"Hah!" Alex exclaimed, unleashing his Combat Skill. A Hydro drill emerged from the ground, followed by segment after segment of a body.
It pierced, it struck. It slammed into the Ruin Graders with a series of thuds.
After this set of actions, the Ruin Graders visibly began to lose HP. However, the attack DMG seemed to have no impact on the Ruin Graders' appearance.
Had their HP dropped by 5%?
"Clang, clang, clang." The sound of metal clashing came from Lynette's side.
"Boom~" Lynette parried the two Ruin Graders one last time and then immediately unleashed her Ultimate Skill.
"Blurtout!"
A giant Surprising Feline Box appeared in front of the two.
The two Ruin Graders not far away immediately changed targets, attacking the Feline Box.
This Feline Box had a taunt function. At the same moment, the Feline Box turned blue and continuously fired Hydro bullets at the Ruin Graders.
"This skill of yours seems to make my attacks Hydro element," Lynette whispered to Alex during a brief respite.
This was Lynette's first time fighting within Alex's Ultimate Skill; the previous time, she and Furina had merely watched from the sidelines.
Alex nodded: "Indeed, and Hydro element DMG for allies increases within this circle."
During the subsequent Ultimate Skill duration, the two were in a stalemate with the two Ruin Graders for a long time.
Alex himself also participated in the battle with his Aquacrest Saber, unleashing several character Ultimate Skills.
Finally, after the Ultimate Skill ended, Alex hadn't expected that even fighting two dogs with Lynette, their HP hadn't even dropped by half.
Watching Lynette clashing metal in front, Alex, without his Ultimate Skill, held his Aquacrest Saber and secretly shook his head.
No good, he actually didn't know how to fight. He didn't dare to go up and join the fight, afraid of disrupting her rhythm and being a hindrance!
He couldn't get involved at all. It seemed he definitely needed to find someone to teach him when he had time.
Alex could only control his Hydro orb summon, continuously applying Hydro element to the Ruin Graders so Lynette could consistently deal Hydro Swirl DMG.
And the two Whopperflowers further away continuously spewed machine gun fire from beginning to end, also chipping away at their HP.
"Huff, huff, huff." Lynette, having exerted herself greatly, began to pant a little.
But fortunately, when Lynette released another Surprising Feline Box, the two Ruin Graders finally became paralyzed and stopped moving, then suddenly disappeared.
Furina, who had been nervously watching them fight from outside, also breathed a sigh of relief, but was also very puzzled to see the Ruin Graders suddenly disappear.
What was going on? Not only did these machines take so long to defeat, but they didn't just become paralyzed on the ground; they disappeared.
Their appearance was strange, and their disappearance was also strange.
Lynette also found these two Ruin Graders very troublesome. She had fought several in Fontaine before, and a few sword strikes were enough to deal with them.
Back then, their parts scattered everywhere; it was nowhere near as difficult as now.
Before Lynette could even start to ponder why the two dogs had suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, two more Ruin Graders appeared, plus one Ruin Grader: Calculation Amplification Unit.
That's right, defeating two didn't end it; this dungeon had two waves of monsters!
Alex started to break out in a cold sweat. Just now, fighting two LV59 monsters with Lynette was already very strenuous.
He couldn't imagine what to do with three.
He should have known to come and farm when his own level was higher. Now the monsters were all LV59, and the artifacts dropped would probably be blue and purple, which was super uneconomical.
He should at least be LV70 before starting to farm gold artifacts, Alex secretly decided.
Lynette gripped her sword and charged forward again, beginning to clash metal. Alex picked up his Aquacrest Saber and, with his summons, helped as much as he could. He would occasionally find a gap to stab with his Aquacrest Saber.
However, from now on, Lynette started to show some scrapes. Her clothes also began to show damage from the Ruin Graders' claws.
Seeing Lynette take hits physically, Alex also felt distressed.
Although being hit by the monsters felt like being struck by a stick, quite painful, Alex still tried his best to help Lynette tank some DMG. If he couldn't make it in time, he would throw out his Hydro orb summon.
The two fell into a bitter struggle in the center of the field… Furina was a bit anxious, pacing back and forth outside the circle.
At this time, it would be hard to call anyone for support, and she couldn't fight herself… Furina's mouth drooped, looking very sad.
However, just as Furina was constantly praying for the two to hold on and defeat these three machines.
Furina saw a fiery red figure run in from the Domain entrance.
