Chapter 210: Skeleton High Platform

Hidden Skill Book (Purple)

Equal‑Amount Explosion

Active skill: face‑to‑face energy condensation near point detonates to strike the target, dealing 400% magic damage.

Restriction: Combat Mage.

Level: 40

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly; wasn't this the same skill the Wolf King used to slam his face into himself and explode before?

Commonly called Face‑slam Big.

It actually has a multiplier as high as 4.0.

But unfortunately it's limited to Combat Mage.

"Li Wenwan, you probably won't need it; Huan Jie, I remember Huakai also has a mage girl, I wonder if she wants to switch to Combat Mage."

"If she switches to Combat Mage, give it to her; if not, toss it into the guild warehouse, set the contribution, and let members exchange for it."

Su Sheng also gave the skill book to Huan Jie.

"Put it in the guild warehouse; that Murong girl won't switch to Combat Mage, she's already decided to play Arcane Mage," Lin Huan said, taking the skill book and shaking his head.

Su Sheng nodded at the words, thinking she was a delicate little girl, most likely wouldn't choose the melee‑type Combat Mage.

Besides the three purple items, there is also a Heavenly Craft Stone material and a blue piece of equipment; its stats are decent, but only a Level 50 blue item, still far off, can use it.

Su Sheng fiddled with the Heavenly Craft Stone in his hand, regretting that if it were a Divine Craftsman Stone, he could wear the Level 50 purple earring.

After arriving at Main City, the Divine Craftsman Stone, which lowers the level requirement by 10, could drop, but compared to Heavenly Craft Stone, the Divine Craftsman Stone's rarity is unknown how many times greater.

Honestly, pulling out a Divine Craftsman Stone now would probably not be worth less than this Level 50 purple earring.

"Let's rest a bit and keep grinding monsters, aiming to finish this Dungeon before today's playtime ends," Su Sheng surveyed the surroundings; this Dungeon had already taken quite some time.

The Wolf King has been slain, so there shouldn't be any Invisibility magic wolves left; these invisible ones are indeed troublesome in this setting.

Everyone rested in place.

During that time, Su Sheng also pulled the stable An'an perched on his head down; the little guy is Level 20, HP 29,000, and its new skill is a passive, Prayer Power.

Prayer Power (Passive)

The Dragon's Fifth Son, who likes to lie on the incense burner, absorbed some believers' Prayer Power, making itself relatively luckier.

Increases its own critical‑hit chance.

As for how much it increases, there is no explicit description.

Seeing this passive, Su Sheng was a bit surprised; it seems this creature isn't just a pure support pet, but why doesn't it like to fight?

Su Sheng amused the little creature while pondering.

But the little guy was solely intent on climbing onto Su Sheng's head to sit, paying little heed to Su Sheng's teasing.

After resting, everyone's status was fully restored, and they pressed on.

Along the way were still those Level 50 specters; with Su Sheng tanking and Li Wenwan dealing damage, the journey went fairly smoothly.

The village wasn't large, but the ruins blocked the path, making it feel like winding around the village in circles.

They marched forward.

After clearing an unknown number of specters, the four‑person squad arrived at the village's center, a spacious plaza.

In the middle of the plaza stood a high platform, astonishingly built entirely from various skeletons.

From the shapes and parts of those bones, one can see they are all the corpses of the magic wolves, and a heap of wolf heads littered the ground.

On the platform stood a towering figure, nearly two meters tall, humanoid.

As Su Sheng's party of four stepped onto the plaza, that figure suddenly rose.

"Another intruder!"

A voice rang out; if nothing's amiss, this must be the final BOSS of the Dungeon.

"Be careful!" Su Sheng, wielding sword and shield, moved to the front, looking up to meet that figure's crimson eyes.

Its appearance resembled Su Sheng's in several ways: also wearing a shoulder‑draped cloak and wielding sword and shield.

But the opponent's sword‑shield was larger, matching its nearly two‑meter height; although Su Sheng isn't short—when creating his character model, he enlarged the physique, appearing as a roughly 1.9‑meter strong man.

Yet before this platform sword‑shield knight, Su Sheng was still about half a head shorter.

Moreover, the opponent's cloak was blood‑red, while Su Sheng's was gray‑brown.

Clack clack clack~

The opponent stepped down from the platform, the armored boots crunching on bones, and as they descended, a name floated out from above their head.

Captain Guard. Xiao Yong (Demon)

A named BOSS!

"Intruder! Meet your death!"

After the BOSS stepped down, a roar charged toward the four.

It was the knight's charge skill, Shield Rush!

Su Sheng didn't hesitate and also activated Shield Rush!

Swish swish~

The two figures collided midway.

Boom!

-81

This is the damage number above the BOSS's head.

-871

This is the damage number above Su Sheng's head.

Su Sheng is completely defeated!

Guard Captain. Xiao Yong (Demon) (Pseudo Commander-level BOSS)

Level: 52

Attack:??

Defense:??

HP:??

Skill:??

Description: The squad leader who originally led the team to resist the Demon Race, after teammates were sacrificed one by one, only one person remained holding the formation; when exhausted, he voluntarily underwent the baptism of Demon Energy, and after becoming demonic, only his lingering obsession remained, guarding the village and killing all intruders.

Su Sheng glanced at the wolf corpse platform behind him; it was a respectable warrior, but in order to protect the last, he chose to accept the Demon Energy he had battled his whole life.

Just from this wolf corpse platform one can see how many demon wolves this Guard Captain has slain.

But now he has become demonic; his face is completely withered, covered with black markings, and his eyes flash with savage crimson.

Humanoid! Then it's easy!

Shadow Step!

Su Sheng instantly reached the BOSS's back.

Deadly Lion Fang!

Puff~

-3717

Su Sheng slightly furrowed his brows.

After becoming demonic, is the back of the head no longer a weak point?

Swish~

At this moment, a sharp blade attacks.

Su Sheng knows well the knight's binding blade.

Shield Raise Block!

Clang~

-2114

After blocking and taking no damage, it's still a two‑thousand‑damage sword; Su Sheng gritted his teeth, a bit unable to endure, but with Huang Mingxin's buff, Su Sheng's HP is roughly close to fourteen thousand.

Swish~

At that moment, a healing spell descended, and a white mist surrounded Su Sheng.

Shield value approaching ten thousand!

Suanni's Fireworks Blessing!

Su Sheng's spirit jolted; calculated like this, it's not impossible to fight!

Swish swish~

Boom boom~

At that moment, Li Wenwan's and Lin Huan's attacks also arrived.

But the BOSS smoothly turned, raised shield, moving even more fluidly than Su Sheng.

-321

Lin Huan's arrow.

-2171

Li Wenwan's magic.

The attack was precisely blocked by the BOSS's big shield.

This...
