Chapter 28: Who Is the Boss?

This exclusive dungeon area is not large, radius about 20 meters, a dimly lit cavern.

There's an opening at the top, bringing in faint light.

The cavern is sealed on all sides, and the top also has mysterious sigils to prevent the boss from escaping.

Zhang Fan and the others have failed once before, knowing how formidable the boss is.

To avoid being assassinated, everyone stands with their backs against the wall.

Because the boss attacks while invisible, hitting the back triggers an extremely terrifying damage exceeding one million, ignoring defense, instantly killing whoever it hits!

Striking the front, however, deals only four‑digit damage, with a chance to withstand it.

The battle has begun; Li Li casts "Tenacity Blessing" on the lowest‑HP Mang Mei to boost her defense.

Dun Dun also activates "Bravery", sharing 20% of damage with teammates.

"Hehehe~"

"Pitiful ants."

"Die!"

"Pfft!"

Mang Mei, standing against the wall, suddenly sees a black shape materialize in front of her.

It is a humanoid‑shaped monster with mantis arms; upon appearing, it viciously stabs Mang Mei's chest with its mantis blade arms.

"Ah……"

Mang Mei, suddenly attacked, couldn't help but cry out.

-3988

Then she collapsed.

Dun Dun's head also shows over 600 damage, his health bar dropping a segment.

"Still can't hold……"

Mang Mei is instantly killed, sighing helplessly.

"Old Li, your priest HP is low; you're next—boost your defenses!"

"Old Xiao, use area damage to draw it out! Taking certain damage while invisible will break stealth!"

Zhang Fan remains calm, commanding.

After the boss appeared and assassinated Mang Mei, it immediately entered stealth, vanishing.

In that less‑than‑second moment, Xiao Feng also saw the boss's info.

【Abyssal Envoy — Poison Blade (Legendary Leader)】

Level: 55

HP: 910000/910000

(Target level too high, unable to read more data)

"Just keep your defenses up; leave it to me."

He's been coasting along, and now it's his turn to perform.

Not being assassinated just now surprised him a bit. It seems the Abyssal Monster is unaffected by "Ottogu's Curse", so his super aggro has lost effect.

"Rainstorm Technique!"

Xiao Feng acts.

He has only two area skills.

Chanting for 1.5 seconds, he designates the area, and a thunderclap explodes in the cavern.

Immediately, gloomy winds howl, dark clouds cover the cavern ceiling, and a heavy rain pours down.

The Rainstorm Technique covers 50×50 meters, larger than the cavern, completely enveloping the boss room; the monster cannot escape no matter where it hides invisibly.

"Holy crap, what skill is this? The range is huge!" Zhang Fan had intended to randomly toss a few skills at the empty space before Li Li, hoping to draw out the boss.

But he was startled by Xiao Feng's grand move.

"Damn it! What is this!"

An angry curse echoes from the darkness.

The boss's silhouette appears five meters away, forcibly knocked out by the Rainstorm Technique's damage.

-249193

-239489

-241392

Massive damage pops from the boss's head; after just three ticks, it nearly kills him.

And the Rainstorm hasn't stopped; it can last a full seven seconds!

"Kill you!"

The Abyssal Envoy lets out a sharp cry, a black film‑like shield suddenly appears on his body, negating two Rainstorm hits.

At the same time, he blinks, appearing before Xiao Feng, and thrusts his mantis blade downward.

"Old Xiao, dodge!" Zhang Fan shouts.

Although I don't understand why Xiao Feng's damage is so terrifying, such a powerhouse is a crucial guarantee for his clearance.

If he's instantly killed, Li Li at first transformation lacks even a Resurrection Technique, making continuation impossible.

However……

As the Abyssal Envoy's blade descends, several teammates are stunned.

"Pfft!"

This strike precisely hits Xiao Feng's chest.

Not only did they hit him, they even landed a fatal blow!

-138193

An assassin-type boss monster, once it lands a lethal effect, deals exactly ten times its attack, far fiercer than an assassin player!

Damage reaching tens of thousands made Zhang Fan and the others' hearts twitch.

They thought Xiao Feng was a goner, and today was just another freebie day.

But the next second, all four of them were dumbfounded.

"How is that possible!" the Abyssal Envoy let out an incredulous exclamation.

Xiao Feng, who had taken tens of thousands of damage, stood there unscathed.

The white shield value overlaying his health bar had only shrunk by about 5%.

Tens of thousands of damage, and only 5%?

"Holy shit..."

"Way off the charts!"

Zhang Fan and Li Li blurted out a line.

The next moment, they saw Xiao Feng grin and say to the boss, "Could it be that someone thinks they're the boss? In fact, I'm the real boss."

He then raised his staff, and a thick bolt of lightning shot out.

【Lightning Arrow】: Common mage skill, condenses lightning element to deal spell damage equal to 280% of attack to a designated target, cooldown 10 seconds, consumes 20 mana.

This is Xiao Feng's highest single-hit damage skill to date.

Sizzle!

The Lightning Arrow flashed and vanished.

Above the Abyssal Envoy's head popped a 4.8 million damage, instantly electrocuting it to ashes, leaving no corpse.

This boss had over 20% magic damage reduction, but against Xiao Feng's terrifying ten-thousandfold amplification, it was still no match.

"Ding~ You defeated the Legendary leader Abyssal Envoy—Poison Blade, gaining 102,500 experience shared among the party."

"You defeated the Legendary leader Abyssal Envoy—Poison Blade, earning 3,500 prestige!"

"Congratulations! Your level has risen to 39!"

After the boss died, system prompts followed immediately.

The experience calculation for Legendary and Mythic bosses differs from regular monsters: there is a total experience pool, which is then divided among participants based on their number.

The boss experience split among five people is slightly more than that of same-level epic monsters, and the fewer the people, the richer the experience.

Prestige is also awarded plentifully, comparable to ten same-level epic bosses.

"Awesome, we really pulled it off!"

Zhang Fan was trembling with excitement at this moment.

Such a terrifying boss was taken down by my close buddies in just a few quick moves.

He had originally prepared to wait until level 50 to attempt this quest, but now it was easily done, which is truly unbelievable.

"Old Xiao, you're truly the real boss..."

Li Li said softly.

One skill can deal hundreds of thousands, even millions.

After taking tens of thousands of damage, his health bar didn't budge at all.

If this isn't a boss, what is?

He's not just a boss—he's supergod-level!

"Quick, pull Mang Mei up! The lottery's started!"

The Abyssal Envoy exploded with loot scattered everywhere, dazzling and colorful.

As a teammate, Mang Mei also participated in the battle; though her contribution was small, she couldn't be absent at such a time.

This is a matter of team reputation!

Li Li took out a 【Resurrection Scroll】 (equivalent to a Resurrection spell, but unusable in combat; the experience that should be deducted still is), and pulled Mang Mei up.

"Old Xiao, you killed the boss, you open it!" Zhang Fan shouted excitedly.

His quest was actually already complete; the boss's rewards are purely bonus, so he'd be fine even if he didn't take any of them.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Feng said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."

He stepped forward and picked up the dropped items.

The first item, glowing red, is a divine-grade item!
