Chapter 159: When You Find Me, Please Kill Me

Although it felt strange in his heart, the Instance still had to be cleared, and Jiang Chen did not slow his movements.

Elemental Leopard King continued to emit its Black Qi, which is the source of its life.

As an aggregation of energy, simply exhausting its energy can destroy it.

Although the Elemental Leopard King has no sense of pain, it feels anger, because being attacked by tiny adventurers is an insult to it.

With a roar, the Elemental Leopard King counterattacked, releasing the Skill: Elemental Explosion!

The massive Elemental Explosion erupted on its body surface, blasting dozens of Skeleton Warriors into the air.

Subsequently, the range of the Elemental Explosion expanded, even sending Skeleton Mages dozens of meters away into the air.

Jiang Chen observed that this Skill was almost identical to the Elemental Queen's Skill, except the Elemental Queen requires a Star Ring while the Elemental Leopard King does not.

In terms of Elemental manipulation, it seemed more proficient.

He suddenly understood everything.

The origin of the Elemental Plain, the creation of the Elemental Secret Realm, and even the emergence of the Elemental Queen were all linked to that great battle.

The Elemental Leopard King was part of that battle, and also one of its instigators.

However, he also realized that although the Instance mimics the external world's appearance, its level, attributes, and Skills are subject to certain limits.

This explains why the Elemental Leopard King's Skill power is much smaller.

The Elemental Leopard King kept releasing Skills, but the Skeleton Warriors continued to ignore its attacks.

They did not take the Elemental Leopard King seriously, because its attacks posed little threat to them.

The Elemental Leopard King grew increasingly angry, continuously releasing Skills, repeatedly blasting Skeleton Warriors into the air.

However, after the Skeleton Warriors were blasted into the air, they quickly

returned swiftly, unharmed.

Round after round of attacks caused its size to continuously shrink.

Soon, its height had dropped to 70 meters.

Large amounts of Black Qi dissipated in the attack, flying toward the Human World.

The Elemental Leopard King, in its anger, activated a second Skill.

Skill: Elemental Sweep.

All its body hair turned into whip-like strands, thrashing wildly.

The swings carried various Elements, forming a Physical Elemental Dual Strike.

For a moment, wind and thunder clashed, creating Ice and Fire Dual Heaven.

It looked dazzlingly brilliant, but unfortunately was all show and no substance.

The Skeleton Warriors still ignored it.

In Jiang Chen's view, the Elemental Leopard King was merely a thick‑skinned, highly resilient target.

Although its proud speed lost effectiveness under the Slow Curse, the Skeleton Warriors only needed to spend more time grinding it down.

While the Elemental Leopard King was powerful, it was far less formidable than imagined.

This puzzled Jiang Chen; he thought this Hell-level Dungeon would not be so easy.

A full 12-person party could easily handle this, but after all it's a Hell-level Dungeon, it couldn't be that simple.

He raised a question: "Could the Human Race route be of higher Difficulty?"

But he quickly dismissed the thought, believing the BOSS should be the Dungeon's main challenge.

The Elemental Leopard King's size kept shrinking, its vitality grew stronger, its defense increased, yet this still could not change the fact that it was merely a weak BOSS.

Finally, when the Elemental Leopard King completely turned into Black Smoke and vanished, the entire Instance became blazingly bright, wholly ruled by Light Dominion.

'Kill Level 36 Elemental Leopard King, Experience +2,160,000'

'Obtain Elemental Staff'

'Elemental Staff

：Golden-Tier Equipment, Spiritual Power +600, Constitution +400, Mage‑type Skill Amplify 22%'

The experience was decent, but the item was rather poor.

It was only a single Elemental Staff, its stats not even as good as the Hell Outpost Staff.

This is nothing like the loot a Hell Difficulty Instance should drop.

Aside from being thick‑skinned, there was essentially no difficulty.

The Dungeon Exit materialized before Jiang Chen.

'Is this the end?'

Jiang Chen felt something was off, a lingering sense of inadequacy.

Lin Caier hurried over, pointing toward the direction of the Instance's Human World: "There's something there."

The Human World within the Instance shone brilliantly.

A mage appeared in mid‑air.

He was entirely entwined by Elements, wielding a staff.

He was not a real person, but formed from converged energy, identical to the Elemental Leopard King.

Only his aura was even stronger than that of the Elemental Leopard King.

When Jiang Chen looked at it, it surprisingly bowed its head toward Jiang Chen.

Their gazes met.

Suddenly, a hoarse, imposing voice rang out: "Come find me."

Jiang Chen was startled, feeling a chill of dread in an instant.

Looking back at Lin Caier, she seemed to have heard nothing.

The sound rang directly in his mind.

His intuition told him that he had to go.

"Cai Er, wait for me here."

Lin Caier didn't know what Jiang Chen was going to do.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Chen led the Skeletons toward the Human World.

This Instance is a battlefield, where Abyss Demon and Human Race forces constantly clash within the Instance.

Jiang Chen's arrival eradicated the Abyss Energy; the energy didn't vanish into thin air, but all gathered into the Human World.

The Human Territory within the Instance became stronger.

The exit has already appeared, but

the Instance hasn't truly ended.

Jiang Chen thought that the teams that previously entered the Instance probably left after eliminating the Elemental Leopard King.

It's also possible they left after clearing the Human Territory, never having gone to the world on the other side.

In the buffer zone between the two, some Elemental Spirits exist.

The Skeleton Army surged forward, swiftly clearing them.

Then the army pressed straight in, stepping onto Human Territory.

Earlier it was a darkness so deep you couldn't see your fingers, but here it's a brightness you can't open your eyes to.

Black to the extreme, and bright to the extreme.

Completely two extremes.

Here, Jiang Chen squinted, barely able to see anything.

Fortunately, the Skeleton Warrior was completely unaffected.

A Human-shaped Monster appeared in his sight.

Its whole body was pale blue, looking extremely strange.

Crooked and twisted, with bizarre posture, some even folded together.

It gave off an indescribable uncomfortable feeling.

On its face and body were rotten holes, with blue liquid flowing inside, like blood.

It wasn't a human at all, just a Human-shaped Monster.

"Mage Soul (Hell-Enhanced Elite Monster)"

"Level: 35"

"Strength: 10000"

"Agility: 10000"

"Spirit: 20000"

"Constitution: 20000"

"Skills: Resist Fire Ring, Meteoric Descent, Magic Shield"

"Traits: Physical Attack Damage Halved, Elemental Attack Damage Halved"

Its attributes are strong.

After he eliminated the dark forces, all the energy concentrated here.

It amplified the Human-shaped Monsters here.

It turned from an Elite Monster into a Hell-Enhanced Elite Monster, and it was also a Mage-type Monster that Jiang Chen disliked the most.

Resist Fire Ring can shock‑retreat all the Skeletons.

Magic Shield can

protect itself.

With Physical Elemental Damage Reduction added, their vitality becomes very strong, making them extremely troublesome to eliminate.

If that sound hadn't been there, perhaps he would have chosen to retreat.

He could beat them, but he's too lazy to fight.

He also can't use Corpse Explosion; fighting them is laborious and not cost‑effective.

But now…

Strike them as they come.

The Skeleton Warrior has already charged forward.

The Skeleton Mage's spells crackled and flew out.

A flash of blue light, and a Magic Shield appeared in front of the Human-shaped Mage.

It blocked the Skeleton Mage's attack.

Then a Fire Ring burst forth, instantly blasting the frontmost Skeleton Warrior away.

The Resist Fire Ring skill effect is to shock‑fly, ignoring level and attributes.

It also counts as a control skill.

Fortunately, there were enough Skeleton Warriors; only a few were blasted away, and more followed.

A great blade struck the Magic Shield, which immediately became distorted.

A few more strokes would finish it off.

The Human-shaped Mage activated the skill again, conjuring a Fire Meteorite out of thin air that fell from the heavens.

With a booming sound, it was like a violent explosion.

The ground turned into a Fire Sea.

The Skeleton Warrior stood in the Fire Sea without flinching or dodging, still gripping a Blade and slashing at the opponent.

Five Blades, six Blades... ten Blades...

Several Skeleton Warriors took turns swinging their Blades; after enduring ten Blades, the Magic Shield shattered. At that moment the Skeleton Mage's Skill rang out, engulfing the opponent.

The Skeleton Warriors also raised their Blades toward it.

A few seconds later, Jiang Chen received a monster elimination prompt.

The Level 36 Hell‑tier reinforced Elite Monster, even when divided between two people, still grants decent experience.

After eliminating a humanoid monster, Jiang Chen pressed on.

No Warrior monsters, no Assassin monsters.

Only Mage monsters, the most hated Mage

Monsters.

Fortunately the quantity wasn't large, totaling only about twenty‑something.

Following the same method, after more than an hour, Jiang Chen finally cleared all these Mage monsters.

He arrived before the final BOSS.

The mage he had previously encountered opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen.

"Kill me!"

What?

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered with a slight start!
