Chapter 124: Fallen Soul
Whoosh~
Thigh-thick purple ice arrow shot out, hitting the Magic Sword General's body.
A dark-black shield appeared on its surface, attempting to block.
But the ice arrow is a transcendent skill, equivalent to the power of Shen Jie; mortal shields have very limited effect.
Just like the arrow fired earlier by Demigod City Lord Kaxius, also a transcendent skill, piercing Xiao Feng's two shields was as easy as play.
Pfft!
The ice arrow hit the boss, dealing over 400 million damage.
But the Magic Sword General's health bar didn't empty; it only dropped by 50%!
Very neat, health remaining 140 million, with no fraction.
"This guy actually locked his health?" Xiao Feng noticed the clue.
The ice arrow should have instantly killed the Evil Spirit General, but due to the boss's mechanic, dropping to 50% health inevitably triggers a change, so a large portion of damage was forcibly deducted, leaving only 50% dealt.
The distant onlookers, Candle Dragon and others, were startled by Xiao Feng's massive damage; they never expected even a mythic boss could be treated this way by him.
The members of the World Guild, including World's Most Handsome, were even more dumbfounded; they hadn't expected that after such a short time apart, Xiao Feng's strength had surged again.
"Not bad, not bad, strong strength, worth my full effort."
The Magic Sword General, whose health was halved in one blow and only survived due to the mechanic locking health, still bore the attitude of "I'm the best in the world," completely unaware that his life was forcibly preserved by the system.
He plunged the Magic Sword into the ground, and the several vines behind it stirred.
Clatter~
The vines shook the mountain, causing a large amount of rock to fall from the surrounding cliffs.
Xiao Feng tried to throw a Lightning Arrow, but the damage was a MISS; the Magic Sword General was entering its second form, temporarily invincible.
After a few seconds, the fallen rocks were entwined by green vines and moved toward the boss.
The vines wrapped the boss, lifting it off the ground.
Rocks gathered beneath its feet and around its body.
Gradually, a humanoid creature composed of vines and rocks enveloped the Magic Sword General.
It seemed to transform into... a mech!
"Wow, this boss can still transform!"
"What, playing Transformers?"
"Awesome, awesome, health doubled again!"
The distant crowd seeing this scene all felt quite astonished.
They had seen shape-shifting bosses before.
But a boss that "activates a mech" they had truly never seen before!
Xiao Feng saw that the boss's health had become 280 million, and its total health had doubled, reaching as high as 560 million.
After the transformation, the stone mech-form Magic Sword General spoke in a muffled voice: "Let you witness my true power as a god. Magic Sword, rise!"
As the words fell, the Magic Sword plunged into the ground flew up, enlarging to match his size.
Then it was plunged into the ground again, with crimson currents spreading across the surface, seeping deep into the earth.
+1000000
+1000000
+1000000
The boss's health began to recover rapidly at a rate of 1 million per 0.5 seconds.
In just a few seconds, it had recovered tens of millions.
Xiao Feng sighed, speechless: "All this flash, what's the use? It's still fodder to be instantly killed."
After speaking, the cooled ice arrow was fired again.
Whoosh~
Thigh-thick transcendent ice arrow struck the boss with a pfft.
Crackle~
Again over 400 million damage appeared; the newly formed stone mech shattered, pieces scattering.
The boss's health bar emptied, and the huge Magic Sword shrank.
Among the rocks, the corrupted Evil Spirit General collapsed, half-kneeling on the ground.
"How, how is this possible!"
His health bar was already empty, but he didn't die instantly.
Xiao Feng stepped forward a few paces, saying: "Stop the nonsense, hurry up and revive, give me the reward. My request isn't high—just another transcendent skill will do!"
"You... what are you saying...?"
The Evil Spirit General spoke in a half-dead tone, his breath seeming to grow weaker.
But the expected "Golden Light" and "Divine Guidance" did not appear.
Xiao Feng frowned, puzzled: "What's going on, your Supreme God isn't coming to take you back?"
"Sup... Supreme God?"
The Magic Sword General's tone was bewildered, then bitterly he said: "I have already... fallen into demonhood; Supreme God, will not accept me again."
"Um, then what about my mission?" Xiao Feng was momentarily speechless, feeling the situation wasn't good.
The Magic Sword General didn't answer his words.
The half-kneeling body just quietly settled.
He died......
The system prompt sounded.
Ding~ You defeated the 140-level Mythic boss Evil Spirit General Demon Sword, gaining 42,050 prestige!
Your team defeated the Mythic boss Evil Spirit General Demon Sword, sharing 2,040,000 experience!
Clatter~
Gold coins and equipment burst everywhere, and the experience was fully awarded.
Since it was a team dungeon battle, even if others didn't act, as long as they were nearby they would share the experience, and Xiao Feng's own share wasn't that much.
Many in the team leveled up by one.
Seeing the boss die, everyone slowly gathered around.
"Xiao Feng, you're indeed impressive; soloing a 140-level Mythic boss with 20 times the HP is as easy as drinking water." Chu Long exclaimed in amazement.
"Old Xiao, old Xiao, quickly see what good stuff dropped!"
Li Li and the others trotted over, overjoyed.
But at this moment, Xiao Feng frowned deeply.
The boss died, but the system didn't prompt that he had completed the 'Subdue the Four Great Evil Spirits' quest.
What's going on?
Could this evil spirit boss be fake?
Impossible! It's understandable for normal bosses to share names, but Mythic bosses are unique and never repeat!
In the midst of his doubt, an item flashed into his field of view.
【Fallen Soul】: Special item, sealing the soul of the Demon Sword General; please deliver it to the War Temple for purification by the High Priest.
This is a Mythic-quality special item.
Upon seeing it, Xiao Feng let out a big sigh of relief.
"Turns out I have to personally deliver it to the War Temple to complete it—damn, that scared me..."
He hurriedly picked up the item and, using the team leader's authority, directly allocated it to himself.
The Demon Sword General dropped a lot of loot—just the gold coins exceeded three million—clearly the rewards of the team Legendary dungeon are far richer than those of a normal dungeon.
Xiao Feng glanced; besides the Fallen Soul, the boss also dropped 3 Mythic equipment, 2 Mythic scrolls, 8 Legendary equipment, and 1 Epic skill book.
There were also over twenty Epic-quality equipment and items.
"What a rich drop, one equals two!" Seeing the boss's output, the team members were all astonished.
Xiao Feng put everything into the team's shared backpack.
The team's shared pack has 100 slots, temporarily storing undistributed items; only the team leader has allocation rights, others cannot take items on their own.
"After we finish the whole dungeon later, we'll slowly distribute the loot. Epic equipment and items are quite many, might not fit, so let's each take one first." Xiao Feng told everyone.
Then, following the team members' order, he allocated the Epic items one by one, excluding the skill book.
Nobody had any objections to this.
The value of Epic items varied, but since they could get the rewards for free without lifting a finger, they naturally wouldn't complain.
"Let's keep going; this is only the No. 1 boss, with eight more to come. Without surprises, we should get at least 20 Mythic pieces." Xiao Feng said happily.
Having the quest item in hand, he could casually go look for the War Capital to continue the subsequent quests.
Anyway, no one else is competing for the quest, so he doesn't need to rush; going after clearing the dungeon is still fine.
Now the dungeon progress is 1/9, with 8 stages left.
Nobody knows how many bosses those eight stages entail, but surely they won't be inferior to the Demon Sword General!
