Chapter 557

"Ding! You used 【Special Grade Magic Fury Potion】, restoring your Magic to full and increasing your Magic cap by 100%, boosting Magic Damage by 50%, and increasing Spell Critical by 40%, lasting 60 seconds—during this time, all defenses are reduced by 50%!"

"Note: After the potion's effect ends, you will enter a Weak State for 120 seconds, reducing all attributes by 70% and extending all skill cooldowns by 200%!"

Ye Xingtong paid no attention to these prompts.

Instead, her gaze fixed ahead.

"Come on!!"

Her entire being surged with energy!

Her exclusive skill, Flame Array, appeared beneath her feet, and fireballs floated around her.

Boom!!

Fireballs fired in rapid succession, like a Gatling gun, hammering the distant Boss.

Boom!!

The fireballs exploded, engulfing the nearby mobs in their blast radius.

Massive damage values floated upward.

Yet…

Ye Xingtong showed no sign of joy—her expression grew even more solemn.

The Boss's fire resistance exceeded her expectations.

The damage fell far short of her expectations; if she continued this way, she wouldn't kill the Boss within a minute.

The consequences would be catastrophic.

"Should I really give up?"

This thought surfaced, and her resolve wavered.

Just then…

A prompt suddenly appeared before Ye Xingtong's eyes.

"Ding! Player 【Luo Chenyu (LV. 106)】 invites you to bind as the target of the special skill 【Indestructible · Symbiotic Chain】. Do you accept?"

It wasn't just this prompt.

More importantly…

The effect of 【Indestructible · Symbiotic Chain】 also appeared before her eyes.

What is a surprise!!

This is what a surprise truly means!

Ye Xingtong immediately accepted the binding!

"Ding! 【Indestructible · Symbiotic Chain】 binding successful—your all attributes permanently increase by 100%, all Gao Jie attributes (can exceed cap) permanently increase by 20%, damage reduction/damage amplification permanently increase by 100%!"

"Ding! Current distance between both parties is too great to trigger symbiotic effect."

"Ding! You may borrow one (1/1) active skill from your bound partner 【Luo Chenyu LV. 106】!!"

This skill was nothing short of divine.

Yet what startled her was…

Luo Chenyu's level was as high as LV. 106!

That meant the guy had already completed his fourth transformation.

And now he possessed such a divine skill.

"Little guy, when you come back, I'll reward you properly!"

Ye Xingtong's icy expression vanished instantly; a smile bloomed across the dim lava-lit ground.

With the attribute boost from 【Indestructible · Symbiotic Chain】, her enhancement wasn't just a few times greater.

It was a geometric multiplier across all aspects.

Without hesitation—

She borrowed Luo Chenyu's 【Steel Shield】.

And it was even the weakened variant, the mutated 【Steel Shield】!

It wasn't that Luo Chenyu was holding back…

But 【Indestructible · Symbiotic Chain】's capacity couldn't yet handle the full power transfer of the complete 【Steel Shield】.

"No wonder…"

Ye Xingtong had also seen the initial description of 【Steel Shield】.

She was stunned.

After a brief pause, she realized she couldn't stand there idle.

She immediately cast 【Steel Shield】 on herself.

"Die!!"

After one second of incantation, vast seas of flame spread, engulfing every monster.

Terrifying damage…

Instantly wiped out all the mobs.

This was thanks to the attribute boost and massive damage amplification!

As the skill released…

Fireballs began to coalesce again around her exclusive Flame Array.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One by one, fireballs shot forward at high speed.

The BOSS charged toward them like mad.

The BOSS's HP plummeted wildly.

Damage numbers popping up one after another — by the time the BOSS reached Facing Ye Xingtong's side, its HP had already entered the final burst phase.

Endless heavenly fire descended.

Engulfing Facing Ye Xingtong within it.

However…

Facing Ye Xingtong neither dodged nor flinched, bracing with 【Steel Shield】, and went straight into a head-on clash!

It was hard to imagine…

A mage actually going toe-to-toe with the BOSS!

A melee mage?

No…

That was called a Nuke Mage.

When 【Steel Shield】's cooldown ended.

Facing Ye Xingtong didn't hesitate to swap it out (Note: 【Steel Shield】 did not inherit the treasure's effect), directly blowing up the previous 【Steel Shield】!

A terrifying explosion rang out.

The BOSS's body was blasted away, its HP instantly emptied.

At this moment…

Facing Ye Xingtong's expression was very subtle.

Her mouth slightly open, her face full of astonishment.

"This… is it done?"

"This is Brother Xiaoyu's way of leveling?"

"Brother Xiaoyu's joy — this Young Lady has finally experienced it!!"

Facing Ye Xingtong, who had been planning to give up just moments ago.

Never expected…

That with just a single skill binding from Made Luo Chenyu ten thousand miles away, she could so easily complete the SSS hidden class's trial BOSS challenge.

Joy!!

Just then.

A prompt also appeared before Facing Ye Xingtong's eyes.

"Ding! Congratulations on completing the SSS-rank hidden class advancement quest. Your class has advanced. Current class: SSS-rank hidden class — Divine Flame Forbidden Spellcaster!!"

"Ding! You have completed the current quest. Leave the quest space now?"
