Chapter 756

~7 min read 1,210 words

Seeing the data on the Zombie King boss, Su Ming couldn't help but gasp.

Its attributes belonged to the highest tier, even among fifth-turn bosses.

True fifth-turn players rarely had a single attribute exceeding 1000.

Jiang Yunqing's butler, the fifth-turn Great Dark Thunder Venerable, Lei Chen, had an Agility attribute of 999, almost reaching the 1000 mark.

But the cost was that his other attributes were not high; one could say he had extremely allocated most of his points to Agility.

Strictly speaking, Lei Chen's total attribute points were not much different from other fifth-turns.

Even the attributes of a sixth-turn Venerable would struggle to compare to this boss.

It had a full three attributes that reached values between 2000 and 3000.

Strength 3524, Constitution 3649, Agility 2123.

High health, high attack, and speed far exceeding Lei Chen.

This meant that this boss could easily wipe out an entire squad of fifth-turn experts!

Dungeon boss attributes were naturally far superior to human job-changers.

Their existence was never meant for soloing, but as raid bosses for dozens of squads to join forces and challenge.

"The attributes aren't the most terrifying part..." Su Ming said with a grave expression, a drop of cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

"The most terrifying thing is the sheer number of its skills."

This boss had a full 38 skills!

The vast majority of these skills were abilities inherited from espers it had devoured.

【Steel Manipulation】, 【Super Self-Healing】, 【Instant Movement】, 【Ossified Skin】...

There were too many abilities; it could be called omnipotent.

Who knows how many innocent survivors had fallen victim to its poisonous hands!

This boss possessed infinite growth potential; as long as it kept eating, its skills could increase without limit.

If this boss ate him, Su Ming didn't even dare to imagine how powerful it would become.

While Su Ming was thinking, the boss had already launched an attack.

A bloodthirsty intent surged in its eyes, and it spat out a torrent of flame from its mouth, sweeping toward him.

The high temperature burned the air, creating heat waves that leaped toward Su Ming, intent on swallowing him whole.

Facing this situation, Su Ming was not in the least bit terrified or forced back.

On the contrary, he became even calmer.

"Below the eighth turn, no matter how strong a boss is... it has weaknesses; it cannot be invincible in the world," he said with a dark, suddenly icy gaze.

At the same time, he spun, turning into a residual image to avoid the torrent of flame.

"Your weakness is your Spirit!"

Su Ming raised his sword, and the Sword-Martial Mastery skill flowed, repairing all the cracks that had previously appeared on the Frost-Flame Death-Scar broken sword.

Most of this boss's skills were obtained by devouring espers.

And abilities required a large amount of Spirit to be unleashed.

When using multiple abilities simultaneously, the consumption of Spirit was even greater.

Therefore, those abilities it had stolen were actually not worth worrying about; soon, its Spirit would be exhausted, making them difficult to use.

This boss's Spirit attribute was not high, only 800.

What Su Ming really needed to consider was its physical offensive!

With its super-high Strength combined with Agility, he could say that he would die upon touching the boss's physical attacks.

After Su Ming avoided the torrent of flame, the Zombie King's six eyes turned scarlet, and its movements were extremely fast; it actually used instant movement to appear behind Su Ming.

Its Agility attribute reached 2000, far above Su Ming's!

So it could fully react to Su Ming's footwork.

On its ten sharp claws, streaks of azure electricity appeared, and it smashed down vertically toward Su Ming's crown!

At the same time, its six eyes moved in unison, and the zombie virus quietly converged through its gaze, locking onto Su Ming in an attempt to infect him from a distance.

That wasn't all; an invisible film of air surrounded Su Ming, like a bubble, sealing off all his paths of retreat!

Simultaneously activating two abilities and one skill.

This boss not only had super-high attributes, but its intelligence was also extraordinary, capable of perfectly coordinating skills to formulate reasonable tactics.

Even in this instant, it had issued orders to the surrounding ordinary zombies, telling them to surround Su Ming to ensure he had no way to escape!

Although this Zombie King's size was not comparable to the bosses Su Ming had encountered before, being only the size of a normal human.

The pressure it brought to Su Ming was the strongest.

Far exceeding bosses like the Ten-Thousand-Fish Demon King or the Giant King.

Facing this inescapable strike, Su Ming's eyes were icy, and he turned his wrist.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

The several flying swords that had been slashing chaotically in the surrounding horde returned, cutting and piercing the air barrier surrounding his body.

Then his body turned into a streak of electricity, instantly vanishing from where he stood!

【Electric-Martial Instant Body】 skill activated!

Reappearing, Su Ming was already a hundred meters away, holding the Shadow-Poison Monarch Sword, with residual electric arcs flickering behind him.

A gust of wind followed, blowing Su Ming's robes into a frenzy.

He had successfully avoided the opponent's strike, and even the virus infection effect from the six-eye gaze hadn't had time to take effect!

The boss was extremely fast, turning into a streak of red light and attacking again in an instant, not giving Su Ming any chance to catch his breath.

Su Ming frantically activated the Spirit-Power Yin-Yang Step to dodge.

The boss's Agility attribute was too high; every time Su Ming dodged, it was by a hair's breadth, and he needed to use his sword to parry and borrow force.

His eyes were grave, and he had yet to launch an active attack, remaining in a passive state of evasion!

Because Su Ming was waiting.

He was waiting for his own attributes to climb.

Facing this kind of boss, not a single point of Spirit could be wasted; all attacks needed to be saved for when he was in his peak state!

The Red-Blood Hundred-Battle Bracers had a suffix effect called 【Healing Makes One Braver】.

【For every drop in health during combat, Strength and Constitution attributes increase by 10%, up to a cap of 200%, lasting until the battle ends】

To stack this to the full level, he needed to take twenty instances of health loss.

Now Su Ming had already activated the 【Ancient Yin-Returning Yang Sword】 skill, causing Yin-Yang Sword Qi to flow through his entire body, gaining a 100-point boost to all attributes.

And having previously slaughtered countless zombies, he had also gained the Blood-Leech Sword's suffix effect, 【Fanaticism】.

【After killing an enemy, the holder's total attributes can be briefly increased by 100 points for one minute; this effect cannot be stacked】

That was a total of 200 points of bonus to all attributes.

Then, if combined with the full-stack doubling effect of the bracers' 【Healing Makes One Braver】 suffix on Strength and Constitution...

At that time, Su Ming's Strength attribute would reach 800, and his Constitution attribute would also exceed 600 points.

By then, his combat power would skyrocket, and that would be the best time for an all-out attack!
