Chapter 548: Final Response

"Isn't that gray shield… a bit thinner?"

Su Ba's voice came through.

Su Sheng was startled by the words, then carefully examined the boss's gray shield.

It did seem so; although the difference wasn't very obvious, close observation still showed it was indeed a bit thinner.

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, wondering if this damn thing was a trap. Looking again at those repeatedly broken and re‑rising Skeleton Frames, his mind was convinced.

"All ranged classes! Focus Fire on the boss, melee players hold those ordinary Skeleton Frames!" Su Sheng immediately issued the new order.

He also charged ahead himself, brandishing his spear!

Thirsty Blood Hunt!

He unleashed the big skill outright.

The boss's gray aura shield immediately began to ripple.

Screech~

Flames ignited!

Fire Phoenix charged ahead, and dense magical skills followed from behind.

Whoosh whoosh~

Arrow Shot!

Attack after attack struck the boss's gray aura shield, causing the whole dead‑air shield to violently ripple, though no health bar or anything was displayed.

But it was clearly much thinner!

Sure enough, it was a trap!

Su Sheng felt a bit frustrated; if Su Ba hadn't reminded him, Su Sheng wouldn't have known how long he'd have been delayed after noticing it himself.

The others' attention was also drawn to the constantly reviving Skeleton Frames!

Seeing the Skeleton Frames revive, everyone's first reaction was to clear them, while the boss couldn't be hit, there was no healing, and the gray dead‑air shield had no health bar or cast bar; a normal mind would think to just wait for the skill to end or clear all the Skeleton Frames.

If they actually did that, they'd probably be dragged to death by the boss!

It's a mechanic trap!

The real key is this dead‑air shield! It's the source of the Skeleton Frames' revival!

Boom!

The massive dead‑air shattered!

Under several rounds of Focus Fire, the boss's dead‑air shield gradually thinned, and after about a minute it reached the threshold and shattered outright.

"Damn stinky bug!"

The boss kept trash‑talking!

But Su Sheng saw the boss reveal a grin, middle finger raised.

Taunt!

That guy's Hate Value was cleared again.

It proved that Su Sheng hadn't guessed wrong; after the dead‑air shield dispersed, those broken Skeleton Frames, lacking the boss's dead‑air support, didn't rise again.

But by then there were still about nine hundred Skeleton Frames left on the field, and Su Sheng recalled his earlier speculation.

"Kong Lang! Don't kill all those Skeleton Frames, clear some, leave about ten, assign people to hold them, and let a few Priests watch!"

"Understood!"

Then everything seemed to return to its normal rhythm.

Su Sheng, with the Hidden Dragon members, continued to handle the boss, while the usual Yanhuang members dealt with the Skeleton Frames.

The only difference was that this time the ordinary Skeleton Frames weren't all slain; ten were left, and some guard knights were assigned to hold those Skeleton Frames without killing them.

The boss's health kept dropping, and the skills the group handled were routine, with no further mishaps.

As time passed, the boss's health smoothly reached around 23%.

"Everyone, get ready, the boss's next Health Axis is almost here!"

Lin Huan and Chen Guan instantly became highly alert.

Twenty-two percent...

Twenty-one...

Twenty!

Health Axis Trigger!

The boss cursed once, then entered a phantom state, and ghostly knight after ghostly knight materialized.

Sure enough!

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow at the sight!

Just as expected!

Since those small Skeleton monsters weren't all killed, the boss assumed the minions were still present and wouldn't summon more.

Prepared in advance, Lin Huan and Chen Guan immediately directed the charge‑direction troops to dodge to both sides.

Su Sheng also reused the old trick: Force Flash + Swimming Dragon Body!

With the previous experience, this time the Yanhuang members still faced some chaos, but without the Skeleton monster impact there were no casualties.

As for those ten‑odd Skeleton Frames, their number was so small that not even a splash was made.

When the boss's charge ended, Su Sheng immediately approached, then launched Charge + Taunt, adding a series of skills that directly stabilized Hate Value.

This time, during the Health Axis, no one died; it was handled perfectly.

"Well done!"

Keep going on the boss and we'll take it down right away!

Su Sheng shouted!

The boss's health rapidly dropped!

One shot! Deadly Lion Fang!

Rend triggered!

Boom!

After a Fireball came down, Phoenix Flame triggered again.

Perhaps because the boss's health is lower, everyone's luck seems to have improved a lot; not only Su Sheng's Rend and Li Wenwan's Phoenix Flame repeatedly triggered, but even critical hits kept triggering.

The boss's health is dropping at an unprecedented speed.

But Su Sheng's gaze also grew solemn.

The final critical moment has arrived!

The 10% Rage phase!

Little Frenzy consists of three or four layers of rhythm: trampling seismic wave, dead energy shock, skeleton revival.

I wonder what this final Rage phase will bring!

"According to the previous Little Frenzy handling! Have the others' life seeds been replenished?"

After a life seed triggers, it takes half an hour before it can receive another life seed.

Now, thirty minutes have already passed since the Little Frenzy.

Boss health at 14%.

Clear the field!

Only ten people remain in the arena.

Su Sheng, Lin Huan, Li Wenwan, Su Ba, Wang Shan, Lu Zhe, Bai Pangpang, Yu Lin, Shen Yang.

There is also a Group Leader of the Yanhuang Wanderers... Bu Jian Wenrou, a shadow priest.

Shen Yang was not present during the Little Frenzy, but his Survival Skill is still active! The others' Survival Skills were all given up during the Little Frenzy.

Bu Jian Wenrou was added temporarily; his skill is decent and as a discipline priest he can ease the healing pressure on Bai Pangpang alone.

All ten people have Huang Mingxin's life seed; Chen Guan and Wu Zhaodi are outside. If all ten in the arena die during the Rage phase, Chen Guan must immediately assign personnel to take over the boss as usual.

The heaviest task belongs to Shen Yang!

Su Sheng has already prepared to die completely.

And Shen Yang, the only one still having a Survival Skill, must survive after everyone else dies, using his Survival Skill! He cannot let the undead knight boss exit Combat State!

The others need at least a few seconds to enter; within that time Shen Yang must survive!

All preparations are complete.

Everyone started unleashing big skills.

Bai Pangpang's Healing Technique has been locked onto Su Sheng.

Although already prepared to die, they still do their best.

Among those who can survive in the arena, besides Shen Yang and the invincible Survival Skill, the greatest hope is Su Sheng.

Therefore, Bai Pangpang and Bu Jian Wenrou are both pulling Su Sheng's health hard.

Boom!

Accompanied by Lin Huan's critical arrow!

Health at 10%!

Rage Blood Axis triggered!
