Chapter 1296: One Hour

The black Demon Energy from the source of the eruption, moving at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, covered the entire battlefield outside the Beibang Guozhan zhucheng in an instant.

While the Demon Race units had not yet launched a formal attack, Su Sheng turned his attention to the game forum, looking toward Little Days and A San, wanting to see whether the fourth wave of the Demon Siege would be different.

Although he had a conclusion in mind, it was still best to verify it.

But given the current situation, it did not contradict Su Sheng's speculation; the fourth wave of the Demon Siege should be the same.

Boom!!

Then, within the black Demon Energy, a sudden upheaval occurred, and a terrifying figure nearly thirty to forty meters tall emerged from the sky‑blocking black Demon Energy.

The monster of the fourth wave of the Demon Siege has appeared!

And there is only one!

But just this one alone makes everyone present turn pale!

BOSS!

The fourth wave of the Demon Siege surprisingly has only one BOSS.

Moreover, just its size alone looks unmanageable.

Soon, the figure became clear: a humanoid silhouette, its whole body cloaked in black armor, with only a crack at the eye area flashing bright red light, the rest sealed airtight.

A massive double‑edged axe was dragged behind it; the double‑edged great axe was enormous, dragging on the ground behind its back.

"What a fascinating slaughter,"

Accompanying the massive figure as it stepped out from the center of the Demon Energy eruption, a low voice rang in everyone's ears, including players on other servers watching from afar.

Su Sheng and some elite Huaxia players, upon hearing the voice, couldn't help but grow solemn.

Hope…

No way.

Su Sheng stared intently at that BOSS.

"I'm going down! Scouting the situation!!"

After speaking, Su Sheng, riding a suanni, leapt, jumped over the city wall, and rushed toward the Demon figure.

The suanni was swift, and everyone watched Su Sheng's movements…

Shen Wang, Twelve-winged Angel, Xingchen…

Numerous elite Huaxia players all stared at Su Sheng with solemn expressions…

If that's true, it's trouble… In that case, this Demon Siege would be impossible for humans to defend.

Hope it's just a cutscene!

Soon, Su Sheng arrived within a short distance of the Demon BOSS…

The distance is enough!

Taunt!!

-1

A white number leapt from the BOSS's head.

At the same time, the monster's stats panel appeared before Su Sheng.

Abyssal Demon Golem (Lord-level BOSS)

Level: 88

HP: 100000000

…

…

Description: One of the ultimate war puppets from the Abyssal Demon Race, controlled by high‑rank Demon Race.

…

An 88-level Lord-level BOSS, which did not surprise Su Sheng.

Because on the A San Server, the third-wave boss that appeared was a pseudo‑Lord level.

After seeing the BOSS intel from A San's side, Su Sheng guessed that the final BOSS of the fourth wave of the Demon Siege would most likely be a Lord level.

What Su Sheng did not expect was that the fourth wave of the Demon Siege would have only one BOSS.

It should have been the hardest final wave, yet only a single BOSS unit appeared; even by intuition one could gauge its strength.

And now it proves Su Sheng's guess was correct.

An 88-level Lord-level BOSS, and as a raid BOSS its HP alone reaches one hundred million.

According to the BOSS's regeneration mechanics, a Lord-level recovers 2% per second!

That means the BOSS regains two million HP each second; although there are various ways to suppress BOSS regeneration, against a Lord-level BOSS its resilience is beyond imagination, and those suppression methods would have to be reduced significantly.

Back then, the Yanhuang side, facing an 80-level Lord-level undead bone dragon, still relied on the Elf Dalian, finally managing to defeat it.

Now they face an 88-level Lord-level raid BOSS; aside from other stats, that two-million-per-second regeneration alone can drive everyone to despair.

Moreover, that's not the most critical point…

The most critical point is, there is no Hate Value!!

Indeed, after Su Sheng tossed a Taunt skill, he discovered the BOSS has no Hate Value!

That means this Lord-level raid BOSS is a hero unit, an intelligent BOSS!!

But thinking about it, that seems normal…

So far, the BOSSes above Lord level that Su Sheng has encountered, aside from the Year Beast on the Year Beast battlefield, all appear to be hero units.

A hero unit without Hate Value means there is essentially no way to tackle this BOSS by conventional means.

The description alone shows this, and although the BOSS itself is merely a puppet, it is controlled by high‑rank Demon Race… high‑rank Demon Race, without doubt, are definitely hero units.

"Hero unit..." Su Sheng directly posted the message in the nearby channel.

Seeing Su Sheng's message, the Huaxia high-level players present all had solemn expressions…

This is exactly what they had been worried about; they never expected the thing they feared to actually happen.

"Interesting little bug~"

After being hit by a Taunt skill, the boss lowered its head and gazed at Su Sheng.

Ding~

War Notice:

High-ranking demons have descended; Demon-Suppressing Army reinforcements will arrive in 59:59 seconds.

Explorers, hold on!

And just as the boss locked onto Su Sheng, a system notification sounded.

This time, the Huaxia high-level players here, including Su Sheng, finally let out a sigh of relief.

So that's how it is!

They only need to withstand the boss's attacks for an hour, rather than completely defeating it.

An level-88 lord-class boss is beyond the players' current capabilities.

One hour…

They should be able to hold up, right?

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking at the enormous boss before him.

At that moment, the boss's massive axe, slung behind its back, swung down and slammed hard at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng had no time to think, he raised his shield! Falling Demon Body, Defensive Stance!

Boom!!

The terrifying axe struck Su Sheng's body; although Su Sheng, riding a xiezhi, looked sizable, before this terrifying axe he seemed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

-60441!

A terrifying damage value popped up above Su Sheng's head!

Blocked it!

The elephant's passive is still quite strong; if another player took this hit, that axe would probably send them flying, given the size disparity.

But with Su Sheng's terrifying stats, plus over 50% front damage reduction, the axe still dealt over 60,000 damage…

If it were anyone else, that axe would easily inflict over a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand damage, right?
