Chapter 1115: Mountains Exhausted, Waters Ended

~12 min read 2,346 words

The dungeon requires twelve hours.

Now the twelve hours have arrived…

Damn it, just a little bit short!

Xingchen and Shen Wang both looked unwilling, staring at the last sliver of durability of the Abyss Eye.

It's all my fault; if only I could have predicted more accurately a few more times. Huang Mingxin spoke with a somewhat dejected expression.

Her Holy Light Prism skill could reflect the red light attack in this final battle, although its cooldown is three minutes, but the damage dealt by this single strike is higher than that of everyone else combined, and it can be considered the main output core.

However, Huang Mingxin might have been too nervous, and besides, the attack speed of that red light was too fast; there were several times when Huang Mingxin's prediction was wrong, and she failed to successfully reflect the red light.

No…! Su Sheng said with a solemn expression: "We haven't lost yet!"

Hmm, everyone's spirits were shaken!

Indeed, they were not directly teleported out.

In a normal timed dungeon, if the time limit is reached, the dungeon will directly judge failure, then the player will be teleported out and lose 50% of experience.

Just at this moment!

Swish!!

The Abyss Eye before them suddenly flared with red light, and a terrifying figure walked out from within.

At the same time, a thick dark aura swept out.

Ding~ System Notification:

The ambient demon energy concentration increased, and the demonic qi suppression effect rose to 50%.

The demonic qi suppression reached 50%, and even Su Sheng saw such a terrifying suppression effect for the first time.

Immediately after, that massive figure gradually solidified…

It was very tall, about six to seven meters in height, clad in black armor, and holding a terrifying huge spiked club in its hands!

This appearance, Su Sheng felt that Yingye was somewhat familiar.

And at the same time, the dungeon's explanation echoed in everyone's minds.

Although the dungeon's time limit is twelve hours, the explanation inside said that twelve hours later, the Demon Race's reinforcements would arrive.

That means reinforcements will come, but it's not directly a failure!

There's still a chance!!

Su Sheng's spirits lifted!

That, the Abyss Eye's durability is almost gone!

Just as that thought popped into Su Sheng's mind, the scene before him suddenly went dark.

That huge spiked club came crashing down straight at him!

Su Sheng immediately pulled back a distance, and at the same time, Shen Wang beside him did the same.

Boom!

With a tremendous roar, the entire ground shuddered violently, and a huge black shockwave spread out.

Boom!!

-218222!

This damage appeared above Su Sheng's head.

-370899!

This is another damage, appearing above Shen Wang's head; Shen Wang's overall defense is clearly inferior to Su Sheng's, so he took even more damage.

Then Shen Wang collapsed silently onto the ground; his total HP wasn't even over 300,000, and this damage exceeded what Li Wenwan had previously taken.

Su Sheng looked at the tiny sliver of HP remaining and felt a jolt of alarm!

This is just the damage from the shockwave's aftermath!

So just how high is this thing's damage?

However, Su Sheng also understood that this was due to the demonic qi suppression, and furthermore, he hadn't raised his shield to defend.

But even so, it's still incredibly overpowered!

According to this calculation, even without the demonic qi suppression effect, if he raised his shield to defend, that hammer would still deal seventy to eighty thousand damage, and that's just the aftermath.

At the same time, this figure's stats panel also appeared, but basically nothing could be seen.

Abyss Demon General (Lord-level Boss)

Level:???

??

???

Lord-level Boss, it's obvious this dungeon isn't lacking a boss; rather, the boss appears only after twelve hours!

Although we can't see the level, etc., from that hammer strike just now we know this boss is absolutely not an opponent for them at their current stage.

"Scatter, attack the Abyss Eye, ignore this boss, try to dodge, the healer should throw healing techniques from the maximum distance!" Su Sheng reminded immediately.

However, facts proved that this so-called healing technique was actually unnecessary.

Boom!!

The boss's spiked club swung again; this Sweep instantly obliterated Stardust's pets in an instant.

Xingchen's mouth twitched; this is damn overpowered.

Then Su Sheng, after raising his shield and taking a hit, his HP hadn't even finished refilling when it instantly dropped to zero; there was no chance to use healing techniques, the Life Seed triggered, and just like Shen Wang, he collapsed flat on the ground beside him.

"No good, priest, retreat as far as you can, as long as you stay outside the Life Seed's effective range." Seeing this, Xingchen immediately understood that this boss is absolutely not something they can contend with at their current stage.

Huang Mingxin also didn't hesitate, she put away her staff and turned around to leave; she had no output, no chance to heal, staying here was useless, her only purpose was to maintain the Life Seed.

Meanwhile, Xingchen recklessly controlled his pet to lunge wildly at the boss, while he repeatedly pulled the string of his short bow in his hand, almost drawing an afterimage, continuously attacking the Abyss Eye.

... which means only a hunter's short bow can have this attack speed, ah.

The Abyss Eye's durability, or rather its HP, is low, only a sliver left, and it also has Su Sheng's poison effect, continuously draining HP, although the drain is slow.

As long as we buy a little time, we should be able to take it down.

Li Wenwan likewise frantically waved her staff on the spot, sending one flame attack after another smashing into the Abyss Eye.

10 seconds!

In just about ten seconds, aside from a few small pets still beside Xingchen, his entire pet legion was wiped out!

Then the boss marched straight toward Xingchen's direction, bringing down its giant wolf-tooth club onto his position!

Xingchen immediately rolled in place, shifting sideways a distance!

Boom!

A huge shockwave spread out!

Although Xingchen had moved, he still couldn't escape the shockwave's range! This boss's attack is decent when it hits; when it misses and slams the ground, it's almost always an AoE shockwave.

Too abnormal!

Then Xingchen also followed in the footsteps of Shen Wang and Su Sheng, directly triggering the Life Seed and collapsing onto the ground.

By this point, Huang Mingxin's Life Seed had basically been exhausted in this dungeon.

Li Wenwan's Life Seed had already been used up when she first faced the Abyss Eye.

Shen Wang, Su Sheng, and Xingchen are now lying on the ground; as for Huang Mingxin herself, she cannot apply the Life Seed to herself.

At this point, the one resurrection allowance Huang Mingxin could provide has been completely used up.

Afterward, the boss turned its gaze toward Li Wenwan, who was attacking.

Li Wenwan's expression turned solemn!

She raised her hand and cast a spell; the Stone Fire that had been assisting her output from her shoulder flew up, then flapped its wings and rushed at the boss.

The boss had no interest in the tiny creature lunging at it, and moved its steps toward Li Wenwan's direction.

But at that moment, the Stone Fire Sparrow's size suddenly surged, turning entirely into flames, and it instantly became a flame barrier in place.

It didn't trap the boss; it simply formed a wall of fire.

However, when the boss reached the edge of that fire, it couldn't get past.

Flame Barrier!

This counts as a skill of the Stone Fire Sparrow, but the premise is sacrificing the Stone Fire Sparrow, making it a rather costly skill.

But there is no normal way to get through this barrier.

The boss tilted its head, swung its giant wolf-tooth club, and brought it down on the fire line.

Boom!!

That blow made the ground tremble, a gray aura surged, and the shockwave traveled along the direction of the flame barrier, but the distance fell short, failing to reach Li Wenwan.

Li Wenwan remained in place, frantically bombarding the Abyss Eye.

Now it's truly a race against time, as the Abyss Eye's durability is almost gone.

Perhaps just a little more time is needed to take down the Abyss Eye.

"Roar!!!"

Even after that blow, it still couldn't get past the flame barrier; obviously the boss had begun to rage helplessly.

It frantically swung its wolf-tooth club toward Li Wenwan.

Boom!

Boom!

From this situation, it's obvious the boss is not a hero unit but merely an ordinary lord-level boss. Even so, they can no longer parry.

They don't even need a hero unit at all.

Boom!

Five seconds!

Five seconds later, the boss's wolf-tooth club suddenly passed through the flame barrier's exterior without hindrance, causing overexertion; a staggering boss actually lost its balance.

But after only about another second, the boss adjusted its imbalance. Although it didn't understand what happened, it knew it could come over, and it continued toward Li Wenwan, bearing its wolf-tooth club.

Li Wenwan's face grew somewhat solemn as she waved her staff to keep attacking, while she ran forward.

But his short legs obviously couldn't outrun the boss; see, the boss almost caught up to the running Li Wenwan in three steps and brought down its wolf-tooth club on her.

Li Wenwan's expression unchanged, she swung her staff and flickered.

She blinked to a distance of over ten yards away.

Boom! The wolf-tooth club struck empty air.

Obviously, Li Wenwan's displacement was a direct blink with no intermediate movement, so she directly avoided the shockwave's range.

The boss wasn't annoyed either, and once again marched forward to pursue.

Li Wenwan gritted her teeth and continued attacking.

Empty; the Abyss Eye's HP bar was already seen as almost empty, just a sliver left.

But that sliver of HP seemed like a heavenly chasm.

Boom!

The boss's wolf-tooth club slammed down again, and Li Wenwan's HP bar was emptied outright.

This time, Li Wenwan's invincible equipment triggered.

3 seconds invincible!

Li Wenwan relied on those 3 seconds of invincibility, still waving her staff in place, continuously attacking the Abyss Eye.

And the boss kept attacking Li Wenwan throughout these 3 seconds.

After 3 seconds, the Abyss Eye's total HP was still just a sliver, as if mocking everyone's helplessness.

After 3 seconds, the boss struck again with a hammer, blasting Li Wenwan out of her own invincible skill.

By this point… all three of Li Wenwan's survival skills had been expended.

Nirvana, full health revived!

Li Wenwan still waved her staff at the last moment, attacking the Abyss Eye.

Pfft!

With another hammer blow, Li Wenwan turned into a white light and was sent out of the dungeon.

One member down!

At this moment, Su Sheng, who had been the first to fall, just managed to crawl up.

Su Sheng glanced at the boss behind him and directly launched a charge at the Abyss Eye.

Roar!

The boss also obviously noticed Su Sheng getting up, let out a loud roar, and strode toward him.

Su Sheng's face was also grim; although it seemed his total HP was just a sliver, based on current experience, who knows how much that sliver actually represents?

Pfft!

Attack!

And the boss quickly caught up; although there was some distance, the boss reached Su Sheng in 4 seconds.

Pfft! A blow!

After reviving, Su Sheng no longer had the Priest's buff, nor was he in a Mounted State.

One blow, and Su Sheng was instantly killed.

Earlier, when unleashing his burst, Su Sheng had already used Lion King Stance, and just now the Seed of Life had been expended; after this boss strike, it directly triggered the Demon Spirit Necklace's survival skill, Demon Spirit State.

Su Sheng's whole body turned into a Demon Energy-filled Demon Spirit, with a full 60 seconds of invincibility, and he tried to collide with the Abyss Eye.

Then he glumly discovered…

The Demon Spirit State's attack seemed to have no effect on the Abyss Eye… Su Sheng felt glum; the Demon Spirit State is also a form of the Demon Race, right? So maybe this Demon Spirit's attack has no effect on the Abyss Eye?

At this time, Shen Wang and Xingchen also got up one after another.

The boss looked at Su Sheng in Demon Spirit State, swung his wolf-tooth club, realized he couldn't hit him, and immediately turned to charge at Xingchen and Shen Wang.

Xingchen and Shen Wang also still had Survival Skills, but under the boss's barrage, they couldn't last more than 10 seconds, and the boss sent them out one by one.

That's too overpowered; no wonder the dungeon's time limit is 12 hours—even if it doesn't directly fail after 12 hours, the very existence of this boss already means defeat.

At this point, only Huang Mingxin remained, hiding in the distance.

And Su Sheng was still in Demon Spirit State.

Su Sheng also felt helpless, watching the duration of his Demon Spirit State.

The Demon Spirit State lasts 60 seconds, but can be manually cancelled. However, Su Sheng currently had no intention to cancel it, just stared at the Abyss Eye, with the plague damage ticking above his head.

It's just a sliver left!

Moreover, during this process, another wave of three Abyssal War Soldiers spawned, making things even more deadly.

But…

60 seconds have passed!

Unfortunately, the plague damage was obviously not enough; that sliver of HP remained steadfast.

By this time, the boss had already approached, swinging his wolf-tooth club at Su Sheng.

Lion Hunt!

Accelerate!

5-minute duration!

Whoosh~ Su Sheng retreated rapidly, this time directly escaping the shockwave's range.

5 minutes, then drag out another 5 minutes.

As for attacking, there's basically no chance; the boss just guards beside the Abyss Eye, seeing if these 5 minutes can poison the Abyss Eye to death.

Plague! Be effective!

Now we're completely at the end of our rope; it all depends on whether the final plague will be effective.
