Chapter 38
"Brother Yu, stop spacing out!"
Ye Xingtong patted Luo Chenyu, who was "spacing out" beside her, a look of anxiety appearing on her face.
"The other bosses have awakened. What should we do?"
Luo Chenyu looked up into the distance; sure enough, the soul fire in the eye sockets of the bosses beside the skeleton altar had already begun to flicker.
This was the precursor to activation.
"What should we do?"
"Beat them up!"
Luo Chenyu’s strength had surged, and he wanted to test exactly what his current capabilities were!
He immediately opened his attribute panel.
[Luo Chenyu]
[Class: Defense Warrior (1st Transition)]
[Level: LV.10 (0.00%)]
[HP: 12160]
[Mana: 1320]
[Strength: 383]
[Constitution: 578]
[Agility: 280]
[Spirit: 264]
[Skills: Goddess of Life’s Protection (Unique), Steel Shield...]
[Equipment: Netherworld (A), Abyss Ring (S), Gloom Set (D)...]
[Totem: Black Dragon Totem (A)]
[Strength: Tier 2]
"How is it still Tier 2 strength?"
Seeing his explosive attributes, Luo Chenyu was momentarily speechless.
With over ten thousand HP, plus those super-high attributes and the [Black Dragon Totem], he was still only Tier 2.
This strength rating was far too watered down.
The two scrubs who attacked him last night were also Tier 2, yet the gap between them was as wide as the Blood Wall!
"Heh, this is fine too!"
Luo Chenyu habitually patted Ye Xingtong’s little head and said, "Wait for me; I’m going to test my strength after the class transition!"
Ye Xingtong squinted, feeling Luo Chenyu’s large hand.
"Don't be reckless..."
Before she could finish, Luo Chenyu dashed forward, and several notifications appeared before her eyes.
"Ding, your teammate has applied a damage-absorption shield to you, lasting 60 seconds. Current shield value: 8670!"
"..."
Ye Xingtong: "???"
She rubbed her eyes; a single shield was actually 5 times higher than her total HP...
That is absolutely absurd!
When she saw Luo Chenyu’s next move, she went completely numb.
Luo Chenyu used a skill to charge toward one of the bosses; his speed was like a bolt of lightning, leaving afterimages behind.
Such speed could only be unleashed by a Tier 4 professional at the very least.
Yet Luo Chenyu was just a newbie who had just completed his first transition.
"Just how many benefits did that SSS-grade class transition quest give him!"
Ye Xingtong felt envious.
She had completed an SS-grade difficulty quest, gaining +80 to all attributes and a 30% increase in Spirit. Beyond that, she had also obtained a fire-element treasure, and she had thought she would be the one leading Luo Chenyu to success.
The previous exploration had indeed been like that.
But now, it seemed...
She was still too young; she was the one being carried.
A Tier 3 Nightmare boss could crush an entire team of Tier 3 professionals, yet Luo Chenyu had killed it in just over 30 seconds.
Now, after his first transition, he was facing three Nightmare bosses head-on.
And he was charging straight at them.
How much strength must one have to be this confident!
Her gaze focused on Luo Chenyu’s figure.
She wanted to see how Luo Chenyu, with his greatly increased strength, would deal with three Nightmare bosses.
When Luo Chenyu collided with one of the bosses.
-3658!
An ordinary damage number appeared.
That’s right, in her eyes, 3000+ damage was just ordinary damage.
Compared to the massive area-of-effect damage Luo Chenyu had dealt before, this number did indeed surprise her a little.
However...
The next moment.
-499920!
-499920!
-499920!
Three massive damage numbers popped up, and following that, the corpses of the three bosses flew backward, slamming heavily into the ground and kicking up countless dust.
"Ding, your teammate killed the Level 30 Nightmare boss [Blood Skeleton · Earth Dragon], gaining 450,000 EXP!"
"Ding, you have leveled up by 1. Current level: LV.12!"
"Ding, your teammate killed the Level 30 Nightmare boss [Blood Skeleton · Earth Dragon], gaining 450,000 EXP!"
"Ding, your teammate killed the Level 30 Nightmare boss [Blood Skeleton · Earth Dragon], gaining 450,000 EXP!"
"Ding, you have leveled up by 1. Current level: LV.13!"
"One... one-shot?!!"
Ye Xingtong stared in disbelief at the strong back standing in the plaza.
Her mouth hung open, speechless.
Half a million in burst damage—is this damage a first-transition newbie can deal?
Her worldview had collapsed!
"Little rich girl..."
Just as Ye Xingtong was in shock, Luo Chenyu’s excited voice came from afar.
"I found the key!"
The key?
Ye Xingtong suddenly sobered up. Right... their crisis hadn't been resolved yet.
This was the Skeleton Throne; who knew what other powerful bosses or unknown entities were here.
Not to mention, the Undead Archmage Andrei didn't look like a good person either.
Ye Xingtong had just lifted her foot to go forward when she was stopped by Luo Chenyu’s voice: "Wait there, I’ll go check the altar!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
His figure slowly walked onto the skeleton altar.
Stepping on skulls with deep ghost fire, he walked toward the top of the altar step by step.
Danger?
It didn't appear; he reached the top of the skeleton altar very smoothly.
Ye Xingtong looked at Luo Chenyu’s back, her face full of worry.
The skeleton altar looked extremely eerie.
Not only was it guarded by four Tier 3 Nightmare bosses, but there was also that strange, giant skull.
"Click, click, click..."
A strange sound suddenly arose, and a mutation occurred.
The entire plaza began to tremble violently, and countless skulls floated up from the ground. Without exception, deep green soul fire surged in their hollow eye sockets.
The plaza had come to life!
In a corner of the ruins near the stone bridge.
The Undead Archmage Andrei poked his head out from the dark corner, looking toward the direction of the loud noise.
"Hehehe... those two little ones have decent strength. To get the key so quickly—I hope they can bring it back, otherwise, who knows how long I’ll have to wait..."
"That guy is not to be trifled with!"
After saying this, Andrei pulled his body back into the corner.
Eerie laughter echoed in the darkness.
An earthquake?
Luo Chenyu hadn't done anything; he had simply pulled the key out of the giant skull.
Rumble!
The roaring tremors echoed throughout the secret realm, and countless ghost fires began to surge.
Within the skulls that made up the altar, all that soul fire surged toward the giant skull above, and even the ghost fires wandering the plaza began to fly toward the altar.
"Run!"
Luo Chenyu didn't hesitate for a second; the moment he grabbed the key, the prompt "Obtained God-Trapping Key" appeared before his eyes.
If not now, when?
Aiming toward Ye Xingtong’s direction, he activated [Savage Charge] without a target.
His body shot toward the ground like a cannonball.
The skulls floating in mid-air couldn't stop Luo Chenyu’s charge.
Finally, he quickly escaped the range of the plaza.
"Go!"
He grabbed Ye Xingtong’s hand and ran toward the stone bridge without looking back.
Look back?
