With a flick of his spear’s shaft to the left, he precisely parried the gale from its claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of clashing metal had yet to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his right, from behind, and from above!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three more gales, from even more difficult angles, followed in quick succession, sealing off all his escape routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye neither dodged nor retreated. The Star-Piercing Spear in his hands became a black, coiling dragon, its continuous afterimages blocking all three attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, once the attack failed, Galasha’s form vanished back into the sandstorm without a moment’s hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a master assassin, constantly probing from the shadows, searching for a fleeting, fatal opening in Lin Ye’s defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its objective was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It intended to use this endless harassment to wear down Lin Ye’s stamina and focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its home turf of the sandstorm, it had to press the advantage of the Shadow Scale Race to its absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage of time was on its side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It refused to believe this human could maintain such a high level of vigilance indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for Galasha, its calculations had been wrong from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It thought Lin Ye would be forced onto the defensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it never imagined that Lin Ye had been waiting for an opportunity to close the distance and cling to it from the very beginning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another gale from its claws shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye parried again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the very instant the spear tip collided with the gale, Lin Ye’s eyes sharpened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, as Galasha’s old momentum was spent and new power had yet to be mustered, just as it prepared to withdraw and vanish...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion of Qi and Blood burst from under Lin Ye’s feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left an afterimage in his place, his entire body moving as if teleporting. He followed the dissipating gale, tracing its path in reverse, and closed the distance in a flash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandstorm was blasted aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galasha’s massive form was exposed before Lin Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of astonishment flashed through its single eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn’t expected Lin Ye’s reaction and speed to be so incredible. He had instantly traced the trajectory of its attack and closed in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is bad!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This cunning human is trying to pull the same trick again!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Ye’s icy gaze, Galasha instinctively felt its chrysanthemum clench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supreme agony and humiliation of being pierced from behind...

Angling from low to high, it transformed into the afterimage of a dragon ascending in reverse, stabbing viciously at the back of Galasha’s neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PFFT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the spear tip tore through the Scale Armor, sending a great spray of dark green blood into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next moment, Lin Ye felt immense resistance from the tip of his spear, as if he had struck diamond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Galasha’s incredibly hard spine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thrust still wasn’t fatal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galasha cried out in pain, but the attack also reawakened its innate ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant Lin Ye’s momentum was spent and his spear was caught on the bone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galasha suddenly exerted its strength. Its two giant, black-scaled claws lashed back with lightning speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SNAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had actually caught the weapon with its bare hands from behind, clamping down on the spear’s shaft in a death grip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the giant tail that had been guarding its chrysanthemum whipped out like an awakened abyssal python. With a howling gale, it coiled tightly around Lin Ye’s entire body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive tail tightened madly, its terrifying constricting force powerful enough to crush a tank into a flattened disk of metal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of its tail snaked around Lin Ye’s neck like a viper, attempting to snap his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a mere thought from Lin Ye, purple crystals instantly covered his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK! CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal armor groaned under the tail’s crushing force, its surface covered in a spiderweb of cracks, but it ultimately withstood the fatal blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it hadn’t managed to strangle Lin Ye on the spot...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Galasha had achieved its objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using its claws and tail in tandem, it had completely immobilized Lin Ye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s body was held fast by the giant tail, and the Star-Piercing Spear was clamped in Galasha’s two massive claws. For a moment, he was utterly unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his movements so restricted, even a spear materialized from his Crystalization ability would have difficulty piercing the tough Scale Armor on Galasha’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disadvantage of being a human without a tail was made painfully clear in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Lin Ye witnessed a bizarre sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sickening CRICK-CRICK-CRICK of twisting bone, the Shadow Scale’s massive head rotated a full 180 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tusked face, now facing backward, appeared right in front of Lin Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye could see the undisguised mockery and cold killing intent in Galasha’s single eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Galasha’s massive maw gaped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it wasn’t trying to devour Lin Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A destructive, ethereal blue light began to gather rapidly in its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.882Z",1,"novelbin.me","074c61384294f2bdd21b2b176f6d5bd772ddb5573c84ecd51ca2d7a994940e94","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-223","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-221",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
