Chapter 149: Disgusting Mechanism

Swish~

Immediately after, the BOSS waved its staff, and a black sphere exploded right in front of Su Sheng.

Boom!

-371!

Defense broken!

However, it was only over three hundred drops of blood, still within the tolerable range.

Immediately after…

-19

-19

…

Su Sheng then realized that where the black sphere had struck him, black flames coiled around the spot.

A slight scorching sensation came.

Demonic flames burned.

HP drained per second…

A negative status was added.

Boom!

-1474

A flame burst out, and a huge amount of damage appeared on the BOSS.

Li Wenwan's attack.

"This thing has physical immunity." Su Sheng gritted his teeth, how did this disgusting mechanism appear at this stage?

But immediately after, Su Sheng noticed.

The training officer's body flickered in and out.

Illusory, solid, repeatedly jumping sideways.

Solid state.

Draw sword!

Missed!

But when the guard captain's sword arrived, it only sliced empty air.

This transition is a bit fast.

Illusory, solid.

Fang!

At the moment the training officer just entered the illusory state, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, and Fang activated.

Hit!

-2140!

Nice partner!

The defense is so low!

However, with this virtual-real transition existing, landing a hit is somewhat tricky for Su Sheng.

This guy's virtual-real transition has no pattern at all, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

Su Sheng was also somewhat speechless.

Lin Huan was even more helpless; the arrow has flight distance, whether it hits or not depends on luck.

Chen Guan is the same; he simply can't hit it, even though his operational awareness is very strong.

But this thing's virtual-real transition has no pattern, and the number of times Chen Guan can land a hit is also very limited.

Especially, the assassin's role is to chain combos then unleash a finishing move that bursts damage on a weak point judgment.

But in this situation, it basically can't hit, mostly just swinging at air.

Burst?

What to burst with?

Thus, the core damage point for dealing with this BOSS is left only to Li Wenwan.

Regardless of the virtual-real state, Li Wenwan's magic attack can always burst out high damage.

However, this thing's HP, determined by healing judgment, actually has five hundred thousand HP.

Relying solely on Li Wenwan to grind it down, the remaining one hour is really not enough.

Fortunately, there's also the Phoenix Flame state, which can suppress healing.

Even Huang Mingxin couldn't hold back, throwing a few damage skills to chip in.

However, the Priest's percentage compared to the Knight profession is even lower.

That amount of output doesn't even break defense.

Su Sheng felt helpless, disgusted.

This thing's strength, for Su Sheng and the others, is actually not high; it's just that this mechanism is too disgusting.

If we changed parties, we'd probably be helpless.

It's inherently a time-limited dungeon, and encountering such a disgusting mechanism makes this BOSS a waste of time.

Really makes one's mindset explode.

But there's no other choice; we can only grit our teeth and fight.

Fortunately, Su Sheng and Chen Guan's operations are top-notch.

As time passed and they gradually adapted, Su Sheng and Chen Guan's hit rates also saw a significant improvement.

Before, Su Sheng could, to the greatest extent possible, ensure that his Fang and Deadly Lion Fang hit.

Meanwhile, Chen Guan, to the greatest extent possible, ensured that his weak-point judgment combined with his finishing skill would hit, basically maximizing his output.

Only Lin Huan felt helpless.

Her arrows still had to follow a flight trajectory; no matter how she predicted, by the time the arrows arrived, things had changed.

So, Lin Huan's output could only rely on luck.

In this situation, as time passed.

In terms of team contribution, Su Sheng and Lin Huan gradually became equal.

Against this training officer, Su Sheng, aside from bearing damage, had quite limited output.

What's more, incredibly, this ghost Boss can still attack while in an intangible state.

Moreover, he can hit you, but you can't hit him—really infuriating.

Most importantly, in this erratic state, there's simply no way to know where this ghost thing's weak point lies.

So, currently Su Sheng and Chen Guan's output basically relies on skills, forcing bursts.

Fortunately, the Health Axis mechanism is quite simple—just burst skills.

Su Sheng, however, can steadily withstand it; if the Health Axis mechanism were complex, they'd probably fail this time.

…

When the dungeon's time limit had only ten minutes left, the Boss's HP finally dropped to ten percent.

"Damn human mouse."

"Boom!"

"Careful, it's about to go berserk."

Seeing this, Su Sheng spoke up to warn.

"Boom!"

The entire Boss exploded directly, and a vast amount of demonic energy instantly filled the space.

Demon Energy Suppression: all attributes reduced by ten percent.

Demon Energy Recovery Countdown: 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, all previously slain Demon Race soldiers will revive in a demonic energy state.

At that moment, the Demon Race training officer's form coalesced once more.

Su Sheng felt even more stifled, wondering if it had to be this disgusting.

"Come on, five minutes—we must deplete this Boss's remaining HP." Su Sheng gritted his teeth.

This mechanism is too disgusting.

If we don't clear them within five minutes, those earlier minions will surely revive and cause failure.

Time, not enough.

"Deadly Lion Fang!"

"Stab!"

"Hit!"

-2774

"Rend triggered!"

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly; not bad luck.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, a fireball fell, and a flame lit up across the Boss's body once more.

Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame also triggered at the same time.

"Come on!"

Countdown, 4 minutes.

Boss HP, 8 percent,

Countdown, 2 minutes.

Boss HP 5 percent.

"Just a bit more!"

This thing—where exactly is its weak point?

Su Sheng frowned tightly; if this continues, time will soon run out.

"Shield Strike!"

"Thud!"

-1567

"Hit!"

"Huh?"

"Dizziness?"

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows; unexpectedly, he triggered the dizziness status.

At the same time, Su Sheng happily discovered that the Boss, while in dizziness status, did not enter the virtual-real transformation form.

"Now! Output!"

Su Sheng let out a loud shout.

"Close in and attack!"

Fang!

This time, without the virtual-real state, Su Sheng didn't hesitate and plunged his longsword straight into the boss's skull.

Before, due to the virtual-real shift, wanting to guarantee a hit was difficult.

Moreover, specifying where to hit was out of the question.

Pfft~

Weak spot, critical hit!

-11328!!

-566! (guard's longsword wound)

In an instant, a chunk of its health was gone.

At the same time, Lin Huan's eyes lit up as well.

Shock Arrow! Triple Arrow! Snipe!

Before, there had been one shot; Lin Huan, who hadn't fired an arrow, directly unleashed a full burst of skills at the boss's head.

Weak Spot Attack!

Weak Spot Attack!

One after another, high damage numbers appeared.

During this brief stun, the entire team unleashed their full burst onto the boss's skull.

Perhaps the magic-type boss is frail, and besides, this was the first control skill used against it, so its control resistance hadn't stacked at all, and this stun lasted a full 2 seconds.
