Chapter 234: Who Will Be the Final Lucky One?
Li Mengying and the other two women silently clicked their tongues.
Although charging up recklessly just now might not have caused trouble,
it was also highly likely they would get injured; the sudden surge in attack power was too terrifying.
And that health pool—wasn't that a bit absurd? What does 2.5 million even mean? Even Gold or Platinum BOSSes don't have that much health, right?
Even the skills of the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch had become absurd.
The summon count of its summoning skill had increased four or fivefold; it was just unknown what level the summoned Black Iron Skeleton Soldiers would reach.
That was what everyone thought.
The Black Iron Skeleton Monarch acted; he slammed his ten-meter-long Scythe of Death onto the ground.
The ground began to tremble, the soil turned over, and fifty skeleton soldiers clad in full silver-white armor emerged from the earth.
These skeleton soldiers were no longer holding rusted iron swords, but silver weapons that shimmered with light.
There were Scythes of Death, Swords of Death, and Axes of Death.
Seeing the stats of these skeleton soldiers, everyone gasped in shock.
【Monster: Silver Skeleton Soldier】
【Level: 10】
【Health: 150,000】
【Attack: 90,000】
【Skills: Gale, Phantom, Shadow Clone!!!】
Such stats were extremely cool, especially the three speed-boosting skills, which were even more headache-inducing.
And that Shadow Clone skill—was this serious?
That was a skill warriors obtained after their class change, yet it appeared on a mere skeleton soldier.
Moreover—this floor was a Black Iron Reincarnation Dungeon, wasn't it?
"This is absolutely ridiculous! Silver Skeleton Soldiers appearing in a Black Iron Reincarnation Dungeon? Are you kidding me!"
"Why is Jiang Li the only one lucky? I'm starting to regret not following Lord Jiang Li. This bad luck is so intense, it's like I've exhausted eight lifetimes of misfortune!"
Everyone cursed loudly, not forgetting to include Jiang Li in their rant.
The three women behind the crowd were also dumbfounded.
But the Silver Skeleton Soldiers would not give everyone time to react; their figures flickered, and one instantly became three.
In the next moment, they charged at everyone like lightning.
"Damn it, so fast! Is there any way to survive? It's over, it's over! I originally aimed for a Gold rating! How do I feel I can't even clear this Black Iron floor?"
Meanwhile, Jiang Li, watching the spectacle from the shadows, thought of something else.
Could these newly summoned Silver Skeleton Soldiers be affected by Chaos Magic again?
If he had an idea, he tried it immediately, never hesitating; while everyone was distracted, Jiang Li cast a Chaos Spell onto the Silver Skeleton Soldiers.
But it had no effect.
However, Jiang Li didn't feel disappointed; after all, if it had worked, that would have been a bug.
The stats of the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch and the Silver Skeleton Soldiers, which looked so dazzling to everyone, simply did not apply to Jiang Li.
Any monster affected by Chaos Magic—if it attacked Jiang Li, its own attributes would be reduced by a factor of five based on its base stats.
For example—the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch's original attack power was 50,000; after being hit by Chaos Spell, its combat power surged to 250,000, yet when it struck Jiang Li with full force, it could only unleash about 10,000 combat power. Such an attack on Jiang Li now was nothing more than a tickle.
"Everyone, don't engage head-on!"
"The Black Iron Skeleton Monarch is at the end of its rope; its health is nearly depleted. This is probably a desperate move!"
"The Black Iron Skeleton Monarch's skills have a time limit; if we just stall until the time runs out, we'll have a chance to one-shot kill the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch."
Among the crowd, some relatively clear-headed individuals spoke up to remind the panicked reincarnators.
Once someone spoke up, countless mages immediately echoed them, continuously waving their wands to cast defensive type of magic.
However—in the next moment, they saw a problem that left them baffled.
Those suddenly summoned Silver Skeleton Soldiers not only attacked them but also attacked their own kind.
They attacked their own kind viciously; even Silver Skeleton Soldiers fought each other.
"I told you so! How could a first-floor Reincarnation Dungeon be this twisted!"
"So the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch's skill had a flaw all along? We just need to stall."
"In a moment, the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch will revert to its normal state after sixty seconds; at that time, let's see who among us is as lucky as Jiang Li to snatch the Black Iron MVP of this floor!"
The mages began casting curses, freezing spells, and other magic to slow down the Silver Skeleton Soldiers.
But often, the Shadow Clones of the Silver Skeleton Soldiers were extremely annoying; humans often thought they had killed them, only to realize they had struck a phantom.
And most importantly, the Shadow Clones of the Silver Skeleton Soldiers possessed a portion of the original's attack power.
Although everyone knew that stalling for time was the way to go.
Still, three or four people died before they managed to stall until the end of the minute.
"Twenty seconds left! Everyone, hold on!!"
"I'm not a one-minute man; even with sixty seconds, I can hold on!"
The tone of those chatting became more relaxed.
"I will definitely be the one to kill the BOSS!"
"Give it up. Based on the current situation, it should be someone like me, a Fire-element Magic user. I can launch fireballs from a distance to directly attack the BOSS! Otherwise, just wait and see!"
Only ten seconds remained.
Everyone was holding their breath, bracing themselves.
Because the Black Iron Skeleton Monarch's health had already been depleted before.
Once the enhanced state of the Black Iron Skull King fades, he'll die after enduring two or three waves of everyone's skills.
So who ultimately kills the Black Iron Skull King has left everyone tense.
After fighting so long, no one wants to come away with nothing.
Eight seconds.
The crowd's nerves tightened; facing the powerful assault of the Silver Skull Soldiers, they advanced instead of retreating.
Seven seconds.
Everyone's breathing grew rapid.
Five seconds.
Three seconds.
No one spoke; all focused every ounce of attention.
Li Mengying and the two other women were stunned, never expecting a boss snatch scene to erupt.
They stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, barely able to launch one attack—by the time they prepared a second, the boss would already be claimed by someone else.
But they didn't blame Jiang Li; after all, he had warned them out of goodwill.
Jiang Li, meanwhile, wasn't idle—he slipped into the shadows, moving constantly, and had already reached behind the Black Iron Skull King.
He waited only for the final second to deliver the killing blow.
But when he saw the ten Silver Skull Guards flanking the Black Iron Skull King, he changed his mind.
Two seconds.
Almost there; everyone's brows dripped with cold sweat from tension.
One second.
"Take it!"
Someone roared—hundreds of reincarnators unleashed their magical skills at once, archers fired their strongest arrows.
Li Mengying and the two other women didn't hesitate—they unleashed their most powerful spells.
In an instant, the first-layer reincarnation dungeon erupted in chaos: a storm of colorful energy swept everything.
The Black Iron Skull King, suddenly weakened from his former power, was disoriented—just as a flood of light surged toward him.
For a moment, he froze in place.
Just as everyone wondered who would be the final lucky one, a Bronze Death Scythe Skull Guard behind the Black Iron Skull King leapt high into the air and brought his death scythe down in a single slash upon the Black Iron Skull King's head…
