Chapter 2013: The Most Miserable Boss in History

The walls of the abandoned building shattered with a roar. Debris flew, and scorching magma splattered everywhere. Once Amu, in his magma form, began his charge, he gave people a sense of being unstoppable.

Amu stood three meters tall, his entire body covered in bulging muscles. Glowing red magma veins were distributed across his upper body, and his slightly curved horns emitted high heat. In his hand, a magma warhammer over two meters long surged with black smoke, with a layer of black volcanic rock clinging to the hammerhead.

Boom, boom, boom...

With every step Amu took, cracks appeared on the ground where he passed. His momentum was so intense that it even forced the Wail Queen to take half a step back.

To Amu, the Wail Queen was not a formidable enemy at all. He had dealt with too many powerhouses; he had even faced a Tier 6 boss like the Black King head-on, let alone a small Tier 5 boss.

Bang!

A whistling sound of air being torn apart arrived. The Wail Queen subconsciously lowered her head, her long white hair flying.

Bahar, with wings fully spread, appeared behind the Wail Queen at some point, his sharp claws reaching for the back of her head.

With a 'whoosh', Bahar grabbed nothing and charged straight toward Amu.

Before the Wail Queen could even catch her breath, Amu had already grabbed Bahar's claws and swung him back.

"Hey!"

Bahar shouted with a wild, arrogant laugh, his sharp claws raking toward the Wail Queen's face.

The Wail Queen had just lowered her head to dodge Bahar's assassination attempt, but who would have thought Amu would throw Bahar back? This gave her a sense of being attacked from both front and rear.

The Wail Queen's long white hair gathered together, blocking her front.

"Xiang Bubu."

The moment Bahar's shout ended, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly appeared and leaped up. Bahar used Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang as a springboard, sharply changing his trajectory and leaping directly into the high air.

Just as Bahar leaped up, Amu had already thrown the magma hammer in his hand—not at the Wail Queen, but diagonally into the air.

Everything around seemed to slow down. The magma hammer flipped in mid-air, and Bahar flicked his wings to adjust his flight path.

Bang!

Bahar's claws stepped onto the magma hammer. The hammer exploded, and as the flames spread, a thrusting force emerged.

Bahar turned into a black afterimage with a 'whoosh', diving toward the back of the Wail Queen's head in a predatory posture.

The sharp eagle claws pierced into the Wail Queen's nape. First, they broke the skin, and the next moment, a numbness appeared in her nape—it was Bahar's poison.

Skill 7, Poisonous Shadow (Ultimate Skill · Passive Lv. 10): Due to the creator's ability characteristics, Bahar receives partial bonuses. His body contains growth-type biological energy poison, and each attack can deal 130 points of true poison attribute damage to the enemy.

Tip: Bahar can inject all the poison into the enemy at once, dealing 2300 points of true poison damage, after which Bahar will be weakened for 1–5 seconds.

Tip: Poisonous Shadow is a growth-type ability. After Bahar consumes biological toxins higher than his own tier, the level of Poisonous Shadow will increase, enhancing true poison attribute damage while adding extra abilities.

Bahar injected all the poison energy in his body into the Wail Queen at once; as a price, he fell into a weakened state.

At this critical moment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly appeared again. He first leaped into mid-air, appearing beside Bahar in a curled-up state, then stretched his body and kicked off hard with his hind legs.

The moment Bahar was kicked away, he grabbed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tail. Although he was in a weakened state, he could still maintain flight.

The Wail Queen's claws swiped past, leaving several gray shadows in mid-air. If this had hit Bahar, the weakened Bahar would definitely have been severely injured. Fortunately, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's rescue was timely—steady as an old dog.

Bahar quickly gained altitude, flicking his claws to throw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang onto his back.

Only then did the Wail Queen feel the intense pain. Her arms were trembling, and the subcutaneous blood vessels at her neck first turned cyan, then shifted to a black-green color. 2300 points of true poison damage—even as a boss, she couldn't handle it.

"Ah!!"

A piercing scream spread out, the sound waves diffusing and hitting the barrier 240 meters above, eventually being absorbed by it.

The coordination of Amu, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Bahar truly left Captain Yuliang and the others stunned. They even suspected that even if they didn't make a move, this boss wouldn't be able to handle those three summons.

"Don't just stand there, focus fire..."

Before Captain Yuliang could finish his sentence, he noticed Amu had already charged forward.

At this moment, Amu's eyes were vacant, and in front of the abandoned building's exit, Su Xiao was sitting on a pile of rubble. His pupils were glowing red, the same color as Amu's magma. That's right, Su Xiao was fully controlling Amu; this was Amu's unique characteristic.

Controlled fully by Su Xiao, Amu's momentum was clearly different. Magma surged in his hands, forming a hiltless magma longblade. The blade was a palm wide, but its 2.3-meter length made it look not at all clumsy.

Clang.

The magma-textured longblade actually emitted a crisp sound, as if forged from metal.

"Blade Dao Blade · Fire Time."

The two-meter-long flame blade pierced into the ground. The ground for dozens of meters around cracked with a 'crackling' sound, firelight seeping through the fissures.

This was the benefit of developing sword techniques oneself. If it had been mastered through a skill scroll, Su Xiao would absolutely not have been able to control Amu to use Blade Dao Blade · Time.

The Wail Queen's movements suddenly slowed down. She felt as if she had fallen into amber, and no matter how she struggled, it was futile.

The Wail Queen didn't want to continue fighting at all; she wanted to escape as quickly as possible. It was precisely because of this that Su Xiao controlled Amu to attack. Once the Wail Queen escaped, Captain Yuliang and the others would definitely notice the abnormality. These people were not stupid; on the contrary, Captain Yuliang and Luo Na were both very sharp. If anything was slightly off, the two of them would notice.

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao had to suppress the Wail Queen, making her unable to reveal her intention to flee.

As a small boss in 'Luodan City', the Wail Queen was certainly not weak. Because of this, Su Xiao had to get serious.

"Blade Dao Blade · Flame Ghost."

Amu slashed the air, and a huge flame blade aura flew out. It was extremely fast, concise, and high-speed. Clearly, most of Su Xiao's sword techniques had nothing to do with being flashy.

The Wail Queen endured the intense pain throughout her body, blocking in front of her with her arms and long white hair.

With a 'boom', the Flame Ghost blade aura exploded. The Wail Queen flew backward, and large patches of her severed white hair burned, turning to ash in the air.

The Wail Queen landed with a 'thud'. Large burn marks appeared on her arms and the skin on her chest, with parts of the skin turning into charcoal, and sparks still flickering nearby.

With a 'wow', the Wail Queen spat out a mouthful of charred black blood. The moment the blood hit the ground, white smoke rose, containing blood clots that had been scalded cooked.

Just when the Wail Queen was already in despair, Amu collapsed with a 'thud', his muscles twitching all over. The sword technique Su Xiao had just used caused his muscles to spasm in a short period.

Seeing this scene, Captain Yuliang knew he couldn't just watch the show. He hadn't attacked earlier because he wanted to test the new member's strength. Now it seemed they had latched onto a big shot.

"Hi!"

Captain Yuliang, holding a metal shield, roared, and an earthy-yellow shockwave spread out. This was a taunt-type ability.

However, after the Wail Queen got up, she didn't look at Captain Yuliang at all and turned to flee; fear had overcome the anger in her heart.

At this point, the Wail Queen's act of fleeing didn't matter anymore. With the explosive power Amu had just displayed, it could be fully attributed to the Wail Queen being wary of Amu, thus making a strategic retreat.

A bullet flew out, burying itself into the back of the Wail Queen's thigh. Blood splattered, and the Wail Queen stumbled a few steps.

A figure attacked from the side—it was the sword-wielding youth, Luo Bin. He drew the longblade in his hand, discarded the scabbard, and gripped the blade with both hands.

"Time Wind Swallow Flow!"

Cyan light flashed on Luo Bin's blade, the entire blade wrapped in wind elements, extending to at least five meters.

Luo Bin raised his arms over his head, assuming a full-power downward slash posture. The masseter muscles on his face bulged as he slashed down with all his might. Wind and thunder wailed; the momentum was astonishing.

Sensing this slash from the side, the Wail Queen's blood almost ran cold. Recently, she had developed some fear of those who used blades.

The Wail Queen wanted to dodge, but a small barrier suddenly appeared under her feet, fixing the lower half of her body within it.

More than thirty meters away, Luo Na's clasped hands were trembling slightly. Controlling the Wail Queen was not a simple matter; she could hold on for at most 1.2 seconds.

The Wail Queen was trapped. In desperation, she gritted her teeth and raised her arms to block. Her white hair wrapped around her right arm, actually taking on a metallic texture, forming an external defense.

With a 'clank', the Wail Queen's eyes widened in anger. She had already prepared for death, yet she only felt a stinging pain in her arm—truly just a stinging pain.

Luo Bin's cheek twitched, his hand gripping the blade pressing down with all his might.

The Wail Queen was clearly a bit dazed, but that didn't affect her attacking. She swiped a claw at Luo Bin.

Luo Bin's body tilted to the side, as if adsorbed by some force. The Wail Queen's claws fell, scraping across a shield and emitting a piercing friction sound, sparks flying.

Captain Yuliang and Luo Bin swapped positions, his body leaning against the shield—a very beautiful counter-attack of strength.

The Wail Queen retreated half a step, and a bullet, predicted in advance, drilled into her neck. Blood and flesh fragments splattered, and the Wail Queen was hit by the bullet, slamming her head into the ground and beginning to roll.

She didn't roll far before hitting a leg. She looked with her peripheral vision—it was that Minotaur who had cast a shadow over her. At this time, Su Xiao's control over Amu had been lifted, as there was no need for it anymore.

The spirit returned to Amu's eyes. He bent down and raised his hand to grab the Wail Queen's leg. Although the Wail Queen's momentum was strong, her build was not large; she was only a little over 1.6 meters tall and on the thin side.

A golden light entered Amu's body, and the muscles on his body bulged a circle—it was a buff from the little healer.

Amu grabbed the Wail Queen's calf, swung her up, and slammed her onto the ground with a 'boom'.

That wasn't the end of it; Amu, as if gone mad, began to swing and slam the Wail Queen against the ground.

Boom, boom, boom...

Debris flew everywhere, and drops of blood splattered in the crater.

The little healer, Luo Na, witnessed this scene from afar, and they suddenly felt that the boss was a bit pitiful.

After swinging and slamming for at least several minutes, Amu threw the Wail Queen onto the ground and took the opportunity to land a magma hammer blow. The Wail Queen in the stone pit twitched once, then stopped moving.

Amu stepped on the Wail Queen's head, and her body twitched again. This boss actually gave people a sense of tragic beauty at this moment. Amu's eyes were glowing red; when dealing with enemies, he was absolutely brutal.

The frustration of wandering for a world dissipated. If there hadn't been outsiders present, Amu would have wanted to say: "Such a weak boss." ===== CHAPTER 2014 =====
