Chapter 247: Instance Cleared! Three A-Rank Talent Rewards! (Subscribe!)

Inside the instance.

Zhou Yi was like a terrifying holy-light monster, battle-axe in hand, rampaging freely through the goblin horde.

"Sacred Storm!!"

Blinding holy light gathered into a hurricane over twenty meters tall; the gale howled, and under its powerful, razor-sharp pull, several dozen Silver Rank goblins were sucked inside.

Under the devastating light-attribute magical damage, in an instant those goblins were reduced to charred-black fragments.

"Roar—"

A goblin warrior swung a rusted battle-blade toward Zhou Yi's neck.

Its hideous face carried a bloodthirsty excitement.

As if it could already picture the human's head being lopped off and blood gushing in a gory scene.

"Die!"

The Pojun Battle-Axe, radiating the golden glow of a Weapon Blessing, came chopping down.

Like slicing through tofu, from head to tail in one stroke, the axe didn't pause for even an instant.

Squelch—

Along the path the axe had carved, the goblin was split clean in two, blood gushing out!!

"Five left."

Zhou Yi's stride didn't pause for a heartbeat; his tall figure, clad in the Wrath Drake Light Armor, dragged an afterimage behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the last five goblins also toppled into pools of blood.

"According to what the teacher said in yesterday afternoon's 'Instance Monster Killing Techniques' class, the Goblin Dungeon instance has five stages in total.

I've already cleared four of them — twenty-eight stages — so the fifth and final one should be the BOSS stage."

Zhou Yi let out a long breath.

Twelve minutes had already passed since entering the instance.

During that time, he had followed the path straight ahead and cleared four stages.

The goblins he'd killed numbered at least three or four hundred......

Whoosh—

Gripping the battle-axe, he gave it a hard outward fling, then abruptly stopped.

Under the powerful inertia, the bright-red blood coating nearly the entire blade, along with a few scraps of flesh, were all flung off.

The long-hafted battle-axe was thus much cleaner.

Tap, tap, tap.......

Zhou Yi continued forward along the path.

His war-boots struck the flat stone-paved road, and like a ghost town, the sound of his footsteps echoed far into the distance.

Soon, Zhou Yi arrived at a plaza.

The plaza was enormous; right at its center was a fountain, constantly spraying clear spring water outward.

Around it were placed a few seats for people to rest.

The road ended here, yet Zhou Yi hadn't found any trace of goblins.

"Hm? Where's the BOSS?"

Just as Zhou Yi was wondering, the entire ground suddenly began to tremble.

Boom! Boom! Boom!......

A massive, deep sound came from afar, and a goblin nearly two-plus meters tall appeared at the far end of the opposite road.

This goblin wore green-and-white armor, wielded an enormous spiked club, and had a strong, towering body.

Each stride it took covered seven or eight meters!

And that enormous sound was precisely its huge feet slamming onto the floor!

【Monster: Goblin King】

【Level: 23】

【Qualification: Epic ☆】

【Skills:?????】

【Note: The king of the goblin race, who once led the goblins to occupy a human city.】

"Goblin King... so this is the final BOSS of this Abyss-grade instance......"

While clearing the previous four stages, even the ordinary goblin monsters had been Silver Rank.

Along the way, Zhou Yi had even slain several Gold Rank elite goblins.

Therefore, the Epic Rank qualification of this Goblin King didn't surprise Zhou Yi much.

"How dare you slaughter my kin! Human! You are courting death!!"

When still fifty or sixty meters from the plaza, the Goblin King swung its spiked club and smashed it violently toward him.

Whish, whish......

The spiked club spun through the air at extreme speed, tearing apart the surrounding air with a tremendous roar.

It smashed into the spot where Zhou Yi stood at nearly the speed of sound — around 340 meters per second.

BOOM!!!

The ground quaked; the entire plaza floor, as if struck by a small meteor, was smashed into a deep crater!

Dust flew everywhere, and cracks as wide as a palm spread out rapidly like a spiderweb!

"What tremendous strength!"

Zhou Yi's tall figure — layered with numerous buffs and wrapped in all manner of sacred radiance — slowly materialized off to the side.

This Goblin King could be said to be the second strongest monster he had encountered so far in terms of raw power!

It just barely fell below that Legend Rank Flame Demon he had faced before!!

It was safe to say that half the students of the entire Suhang University probably couldn't take down a Goblin King like this!

"Roar!!"

Seeing the wolf-tooth club miss, the Goblin King's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and its entire body swelled a size larger!!

A visible blood-red gang qi rapidly expanded around it!

Berserk!!

This desperate skill that almost every BOSS-level monster of the Jihudou Society knew was unleashed by it in an instant.

"Human, die for me!"

Boom!!

When it was still over twenty meters from Zhou Yi, the Goblin King bent its legs slightly, then leaped violently!

It actually came diving at Zhou Yi like an eagle!

Facing this terrifying momentum, Zhou Yi's expression didn't change as he swiftly dodged to the side.

Bang!

When the Goblin King landed, the already somewhat battered plaza floor once again sprouted a large spread of cracks.

And that massive wolf-tooth club also smoothly returned to its hand.

Just as it was about to launch another attack—

Crackle!!

A bowl-mouth-sized bolt of golden Lei Ting suddenly came crashing down!

What?!!

The Goblin King's heart jolted; struck by the Lei Ting, its entire body became slightly numb.

At that very moment, the tall, slender figure ahead holding the battle-axe had already vanished!

Not good!

The Goblin King's face twisted viciously as it desperately tried to move.

However, under the Lei Ting's paralysis effect, the muscles all over its body simply refused to obey its commands!!

"Die."

A voice of judgment, like that of a god, rang out, and the sharp axe blade gleaming with a cold metallic luster enlarged in its pupils.

Then......

Splurt—

With a single swing of the axe, the Goblin King's massive head was chopped off and sent flying.

Bright red blood spurted out like a high-pressure water cannon, shooting three or four meters high!

Then, with a thunderous boom, the Goblin King's massive body crashed down heavily, landing limply on the ground at 937......

"Plenty of strength, just not much magic resistance."

Zhou Yi, who had entered the Light's Punishment state in the distance, couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

One had to know that the Titan divine race worshipped the Lei Shen!

They possessed an extremely high affinity with the lightning element!

And precisely because of this, the Lei Ting summoned by Light's Punishment was far more powerful than before!

Although this Goblin King was a BOSS and possessed considerable resistance to status effects,

being struck head-on by a bolt of lightning like that still put it into a 0.3-second paralysis state.

It could only helplessly let him cleave it down with a single axe.

The instant the Goblin King was slain, the information panel in Zhou Yi's mind began to jump along with it.
