Chapter 107: The Boss Who

The outside world.

The location where the Shark Gang gathers.

Zhao Tianling stood before the intruding rift, his expression grim.

Their intruding scrolls had been exhausted—this was their final chance for an assassination.

If this failed again, it meant they would have to face that terrifying Dragon Fist Xu Wenchang.

To be honest,

if there had been any other choice, Zhao Tianling would never have dared to provoke that killer god.

At that moment,

hum.

A faint trembling sound echoed.

The rift shuddered, then suddenly contracted and vanished entirely from the air.

Zhao Tianling's heart lurched sharply.

The closure of the intruding scroll's passage meant only one outcome: the intruding squad had been wiped out!

The surrounding members of the Shark Gang were also stunned, whispering among themselves.

"Gone… again gone…"

"Three squads! Three full-strength elite teams! Equipped with targeted gear, even downed high-grade resistance potions… all gone?"

"Is this what a Dragon Order class monster is like… this gap is utterly despairing…"

A sense of helplessness spread rapidly through the crowd.

"Damn it…"

Zhao Tianling clenched his fists tightly.

Though he had prepared himself mentally, when this moment truly arrived, the crushing sense of defeat still left him gasping.

"Director Zhao."

Beside him, Yamamoto Kenichi's voice drifted softly, "It seems we underestimated the true worth of this Dragon Nation prodigy. This man… must not be allowed to live."

Zhao Tianling took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turning fierce.

Since the assassination failed, there was nothing left but to act openly.

"Mr. Yamamoto, since the intruding tactic won't work, let's proceed as we previously agreed."

Saying this, Zhao Tianling ordered his vice-chairman behind him:

"Go, find the archer with the sharpest eyesight, and keep constant watch on the dungeon exit guarded by Xu Wenchang. The moment Lin Mo shows his face, we strike immediately!"

"Yes."

One vice-chairman nodded and turned to leave.

Yamamoto Kenichi watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

He pulled out the 【Dark Veil Barrier Scroll】, gently tracing its surface with his fingers, his gaze dark and menacing:

"Lin Mo, though I admire you, I'm sorry… this is your end."

…

Inside the dungeon, beside the sacrifice pool.

Lin Mo sat on a broken stone, gazing toward the temple entrance, his fingers lightly tapping his knee.

"Over half an hour…"

Han Mengqing squatted beside him, idly drawing circles in the dirt with a stick: "Is the Shark Gang really not going to send a fourth team to bring us warmth?"

Han Mengyao sheathed her spear and said coldly:

"Perhaps their intruding scrolls are already used up. After all, intruding scrolls are contraband—getting three was already difficult enough."

Lin Mo stood up, clapping his hands:

"True. One shouldn't be too greedy."

"A 50% special drop rate is enough. If we wait any longer, Master Xu will get anxious."

"Let's go. Get to work. Finish it and leave."

Lin Mo turned and walked toward the stone platform behind the altar.

The crystal ball on the platform glowed with swirling red light, pulsing like a living thing.

Everyone's expressions grew solemn without warning.

Lin Mo pressed his palm against the crystal ball.

Hum—!!!!

A blinding crimson light shot skyward, instantly dyeing the thunderclouds above the temple a blood-red hue.

【Sacrifice Ritual Completed!】

【Current Sacrifice Count: 8/3】

【Current Rating: S+ Level!】

【With this blood and soul as a beacon, awaken the Thunderfire God slumbering beneath the earth!】

【Awakening the Temple Guardian—Thunderflame Demon Dragon Beast!】

【Final Trial, Initiated!】

Boom—!!!!!

The entire temple ruin began to shake violently.

On the outer plaza, the ground cracked inch by inch, countless pillars of magma erupting from the fissures.

An ancient, ferocious aura surged down upon them, overwhelming and all-encompassing.

"Roar—!!!!!!"

A roar filled with boundless brutality exploded from deep beneath the earth!

The sound was so immense it made their eardrums ache.

The next second,

a massive claw covered in dark purple crystalline armor slammed onto the ground.

Then,

a terrifying beast over twenty meters long crawled out from beneath the earth!

It resembled a giant lizard but bore a monstrous dragon's head, its eyes burning with red and blue spectral flames.

Its spine bristled with sharp thunder-crystal bone spines, each breath spewing fire and lightning.

【Temple Guardian·Thunderflame Demon Dragon Beast (Boss-Level Enhanced Version)】

【Level: 25】

【Trait 1: Thunderfire Twinborn (Body composed of thunderfire crystals, immune to 80% thunder and fire damage, and able to absorb partial damage to heal)】

【Trait 2: Spirit Ward (Defense increased by 70%)】

Seeing this opulent stat panel, Han Mengqing's face turned instantly pale: "Immune to 80% thunder and fire damage? And heals? Plus 70% defense? This this this…"

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

He raised his hand and unleashed Thunder Inferno combined with Thunder Lin Descends.

Boom-boom-boom!

A colossal thunder kirin, wreathed in ten-thousand-jun lightning, slammed into the demon dragon's back.

Yet…

The demon dragon didn't even feel pain—only shook its head irritably.

Clearly, it had suffered no real damage, like being scraped with a nail file.

【'Fireball Spell' chuckled: Hey, Third Brother, you okay? Aren't you supposed to be high single-target burst? Why are you just scraping?】

【'Fireball Spell' stood tall proudly: Hmm, let the Master handle this. Let me show you what real damage output looks like!】

Lin Mo didn't waste words. Since thunder didn't work, he'd try fire.

"Little Fire, go!"

"Multiple Exploding Fireballs! Flame Pillars! Firestorm!"

"…"

Boom-boom-boom—!!!!!

As Lin Mo waved his hands, fire skills rained down on the boss like they were free.

Dozens of basketball-sized fireballs hurtled down, exploding in rapid succession.

Then, countless flame pillars erupted.

Simultaneously, violent fire tornadoes rose from the ground, tearing furiously at the demon dragon's body.

Flames blazed skyward, a spectacle of overwhelming force, as if ready to incinerate all of heaven and earth.

Yet when the flames cleared,

the demon dragon shook its head.

After that entire combo, it hadn't even been scratched—not a single scale damaged.

【'Earth Shield Spell' timidly raised its hand: B…Brother, it seems… you're scraping too…】

【'Fireball Spell' fumed: Do you have to point that out? Don't you think I can see?】

【'Lightning Strike Shu ': Chi.】

【Fireball spell, enraged】: What are you scoffing at? You're scraping too!

"Roar——!!!"

The demonic dragon beast, continuously provoked, exploded in rage.

It opened its massive maw, and deep within its throat, red and blue light surged wildly—extreme compression of lightning and flame.

Boom——!!!"

A colossal beam of combined lightning and fire, radiating an aura of total annihilation, swept toward the four of them!

"Watch out!"

Chu Lingxuan cried out, her small frame thrusting forward as the frontline.

"Sacred Light Barrier!"

Boom——!!!"

The beam slammed into the golden shield, producing a chorus of cracking sounds.

Chu Lingxuan's face flushed crimson instantly; she pressed both hands hard against the shield.

Her petite body sank violently, her feet carving two deep furrows into the solid ground.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound rang out.

A horrifying crack appeared on the 【Sacred Light Barrier】, hailed as invincible at its level!

"It… its damage is too high!"

Chu Lingxuan gritted her teeth, her voice trembling yet firm: "I can't hold it much longer! Think of a way!"

"Mengyao! Control it!"

Lin Mo shouted.

Han Mengyao moved like lightning, instantly slipping into the battlefield's flank.

Her long spear radiated biting cold.

"Absolute Frost Domain!"

Hum——!

Terrifying cold erupted.

Thick ice spread up the demonic dragon's legs.

Yet, it held for less than two seconds before the demonic dragon beast shook its body, and the solid ice shattered instantly!

"Roar!"

The demonic dragon beast raised its massive claw and brought it down with crushing force.

Han Mengyao's pupils contracted; relying on her exceptional combat instinct, she rolled to the extreme side.

Boom!

The enormous claw smashed into the ground where she had just stood, carving out a pit several meters deep.

Shards flew everywhere; the gale, laced with debris, sliced across Han Mengyao's cheeks.

She landed clumsily far away, her eyes filled with shock.

Is this the upgraded boss?

It's terrifyingly strong—almost hopeless!
