Chapter 34: Mad Rampage! Mutated BOSS: Flame Monarch!

Fire God Island core area.

Wang Jun completed a Job Change Quest, the level restriction vanished, and the massive experience he had accumulated instantly propelled him to level 41. After realizing he had become stronger, he eagerly stepped forward.

"Boss, I've gotten stronger; let me help you complete the quest!"

Lu Zheng, hearing this, said gravely:

"Leave immediately! Once my quest activates, you could die here on the spot!"

Seeing Lu Zheng's serious demeanor, Wang Jun asked cautiously, "Boss, what is the difficulty of your quest?"

"Purgatory tier, five stars!"

Hearing this reply, Wang Jun shivered, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Boss, I'll wait for you outside; I need to cling to your leg. You must make it out alive!"

Having said that, he turned and left.

A Purgatory‑tier five‑star Job Change Quest is something he cannot take part in, or rather, almost no one can participate.

He stayed only to cause trouble for Lu Zheng; realizing this, he left very decisively.

Lu Zheng watched him leave, then stopped paying attention and scanned the surroundings. He needed to seize the limited time to raise the levels of his two divine pets a bit more! On Fire God Island, the lowest‑level monster is the Flame Demon Spirit, at level 70.

The vast majority of monsters are around level 100; there are slightly more below 100, and many above 100 as well.

That's perfect for accelerating the two divine pets' upgrades! The Nine‑Headed Undead Phoenix swoops out, unleashing an Undead Sea of Fire. Although the monsters here are fire‑type, the phoenix wields death fire; it can damage the monsters while simultaneously devouring their flames, reducing the Undead Sea's mana consumption.

The Undead Nether Fire consumes those flame monsters, then transforms into Undead Fire Spirits that attack other flame monsters.

When high‑level flame monsters retaliate with fire, the Nine‑Headed Undead Phoenix does not resist at all, because resistance is unnecessary.

【Skill: Nine‑Headed Undead Body (Passive)】

【Effect: Within three minutes, if none of the nine heads are completely destroyed, health fully recovers; immune to fire and death spell damage】

Under this passive effect, the Nine‑Headed Undead Phoenix ignores the spell attacks of those flame monsters, and every three minutes its health restores to full—undying, indeed!

It is a one‑sided slaughter, constantly circling the area and expanding the Undead Sea of Fire.

The area is saturated with intense fire elements; when the monsters die they release massive fire energy. The Nine‑Headed Undead Phoenix needs hardly any mana to sustain the Undead Sea, and in a brief fifteen‑minute span it turns one‑tenth of Fire God Island into a sea of flame! The massive slaughter also propels its level rapidly, jumping from level 60 to 75—a fifteen‑level surge.

On the other side, Taotie's killing speed is no slower! Under the Law‑Form Heaven‑Earth skill effect, the 60‑level Taotie swells to 90 meters, its attributes skyrocket, and it unleashes the skill "Black Hole Devour," creating a terrifying hundred‑meter‑diameter black hole in midair.

The ferocious gravity erupts; whether they are in their eighties or over a hundred, all monsters caught in this terrifying pull cannot flee. They are swiftly drawn together, then the twisted gravity rips them into fragments, turning them into experience that Taotie consumes!

The scene truly resembles an apocalypse, and the slaughter of so many high‑level monsters naturally yields a huge amount of experience.

In fifteen minutes, Taotie devoured one‑fifth of Fire God Island's monsters, and its level surged to 79.

Lu Zheng placed the Nine‑Headed Undead Phoenix on the east side and Taotie on the west, so their level gains would not interfere with each other.

In half an hour, more than half of the monsters on Fire God Island were cleared!

Fire God Island core area.

Jiang Fang looked toward the fire sea on the east and the black hole on the west, urging anxiously, "Hall Master! Let's go quickly! With such a massive incident here, forget the BOSS; the next second could affect us at any moment!"

Luo Chenfeng stared at the Flame Lord, whose health was down to two percent, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"We've held out this far; we must kill this BOSS! Otherwise we can't report back!" Yet as soon as he finished speaking, the opposite Flame Lord let out a violent roar; the next moment its orange‑red flames turned dark red, and its entire body underwent a massive transformation.

The Flame Lord's appearance resembles a human, like a giant clad in orange‑red armor, its whole body wreathed in flames.

But now, though still humanoid, its height abruptly rose from thirty‑six meters to fifty‑six meters; the orange‑red armor became a dark‑red robe, and a crown appeared atop its head.

A prompt sounded in everyone's ears within the Fire God Island instance.

【Notice! Due to the massive slaughter of fire spirits on Fire God Island, the LV. 150 Flame Lord has mutated into an LV. 200 Flame Monarch. The Flame Monarch will indiscriminately attack all practitioners on Fire God Island until every practitioner in the instance is dead!】

Hearing the notice, Lu Zheng was startled; it seemed to be caused by his own slaughter.

He looked at the massive Flame Monarch, and its information flashed in his eyes.

【Monster: Flame Monarch】

【Quality: Overlord Tier】

【Level: LV. 200】

【HP: 5,000,000/5,000,000】

【Mana: 200,000/200,000】

【Strength: 12,000】

【Agility: 12,000】

【Spirit: 30,000】

【Constitution: 40,000】

【Skills: Flame Domain, Flaming Divine Sword, Lava Eruption, Summon Fire Demon, Fire Armor Shield】

A genuine level‑200 Overlord‑tier monster, upon appearing, instantly turns a ten‑mile radius around it into a dark‑red sea of fire; lava erupts, and the raging fire energy deals massive damage to all members of the Sky Hunt Guild.

If they hadn't come equipped with numerous fire‑resistance gear, many would have been instantly killed the moment the Flame Monarch appeared!

But not dying instantly doesn't mean they survive, because once the fire sea forms, fire‑hammer‑wielding, twenty‑meter‑tall fire demon puppets are summoned one after another.

These puppets are level 120, granting an overwhelming advantage over the vast majority of Sky Hunt Guild members.

Seeing this, Jiang Fang's eyes flashed with despair.

"It's over! We're definitely dead!"

As the Hall Master and the one leading this team, Luo Chenfeng felt boundless remorse; he could die for his erroneous decision, but so many brothers should not all perish here because of his mistake.

"Run! You all run! I'll hold them back!"

Luo Chenfeng roared loudly, and mid‑sentence he charged at a fire demon puppet as if gone mad.

However, the others made no move—not because they didn't want to run, but because within the fire sea there was nowhere to escape! Everyone was plunged into boundless despair. Then a high, soul‑piercing cry rang out, followed by a nine‑headed giant bird with an 88‑meter wingspan, its body ablaze with black flames, appearing in the sky.

People fell even deeper into despair.

One Flame Monarch is enough to slaughter them all—how can there be another BOSS?! Please upvote, please follow!
