“Hiss…”
A monster as tall as a five-story building appeared in Lin Yi and the others’ field of vision.
It was pieced together from countless corpses, with rotten flesh revealing ghastly white bones, emitting a nauseating stench that could be smelled from a distance.
On its bloody, blurry head, only a tongue, flicking out acidic fluid, could be seen, and a dozen arms extended from various parts of its torso, twisting erratically to maintain its balance.
Each step of its disproportionately thick and thin legs caused a tremor in the ground.
What surprised Lin Yi was that below the information text above its head, a striking red bar extended.
Having been immersed in games for many years, Lin Yi immediately realized, “Isn’t this a health bar?!”
“No, the target isn’t us?”
Suddenly, Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed, locked onto a small creature being chased by the Abomination.
The latter appeared to be a small feline beast, with streaks of crimson mist coiling around its body like venomous snakes.
Splat—
Seemingly fed up with the chase, the Abomination’s rotten tongue shot out violently, piercing through the small beast’s body.
After the kill, the slimy tongue slowly lifted, then pointed towards Lin Yi and the others’ location.
“My Lord, you retreat first!”
Xiang Yi shielded Lin Yi behind her.
Her slender fingers gripped the Overlord Spear tightly, and something seemed to burn in her eyes.
Lin Yi, having watched many passionate anime series, was all too familiar with it.
It was Tatakai!
Xiang Yi wanted to Tatakai!
“Everyone else, fall back!”
“Ailina, Xiang Yi! Be careful!”
Lin Yi wasn’t one to be pretentious; he quickly retreated on Freke.
The BOSS was level 40.
Apart from the two women, other warriors participating in the battle would be no different from committing suicide!
However… this disgusting BOSS must surely be classified as an Undead, right?
As soon as the thought arose in Lin Yi’s mind, Ailina, with a solemn expression, seemed to be confirming it for him as she slowly raised her right palm in the sky.
“The Lord says…”
“Filth should not exist in this world.”
An ethereal voice echoed through the valley.
An intensely dazzling white light burst forth from Ailina’s palm, extending and condensing into a spear that flickered like flames.
“The Lord also says…”
“All evil spirits should be purified.”
“In the name of my Lord, Lin Yi…”
“I judge you.”
“Guilty!”
Ailina released her grip, her fingertips tracing a line.
The spear, suspended in mid-air, was like a compass needle following a magnetic field, finally aiming at the disgusting World BOSS below.
“Spear of Light!”
As her lips lightly uttered the words, the spear vanished.
Without any flashy effects or sound, almost simultaneously, the Spear of Light directly pierced into the Abomination’s festering head.
“Hiss?”
The Abomination clearly hadn’t reacted yet.
Immediately after—the Spear of Light embedded in its forehead suddenly erupted with intense light, and the rotting flesh sizzled in the holy flames, emitting billows of black smoke, shriveling and decaying at a visible rate!
It was like a red-hot iron dropped on ice.
The Abomination’s head instantly dissolved, leaving a large hole!
The purplish-red health bar in Lin Yi’s vision visibly decreased by 1/10!
“Hiss…”
“Little Nana…”
“That’s pretty awesome!”
Lin Yi gasped.
Only at this moment did he truly realize how terrifying Ailina, who usually kept a low profile, actually was.
That strike just now—even with the Blessed Dynamic Vision, he couldn’t capture any trace of it!
If the BOSS didn't have the World Power bonus, it probably would have died on the spot from such an attack!
“My turn.”
Xiang Yi was stunned for a moment before suddenly snapping back to reality.
White rings glowed in her beautiful eyes, she flipped the Overlord Spear, her calves stomped on the ground causing cracks, and she charged towards the BOSS like an arrow released from a bow, leaning forward.
Around her, countless shadowy figures gathered from all directions, completely covering the spear shaft.
A piercing thunder rang out!
“Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!”
The ferocious black glow was like an ink mark drawn in mid-air by a scholar holding a brush.
Xiang Yi’s unstoppable strike hit the Abomination’s thickest thigh.
The sound of bones shattering rang out.
The BOSS’s health bar decreased by another large chunk.
Having suffered two consecutive heavy blows, both accompanied by intense corrosive light energy, even the BOSS let out an uncontrolled, chilling wail.
It looked fierce and intimidating, but in actual combat, it felt like a fragile doll.
It would shatter with a squeeze!
“Is that all?!”
Lin Yi felt the rewards already beckoning to him.
Just as he relaxed, suddenly! An unexpected change occurred!
“Roar—!”
The Abomination’s more than 10 arms rapidly dissolved, its viscous flesh transforming into huge round shields like clay.
Apparently scared by the spear from earlier, all the round shields firmly protected its head.
Immediately after, the shattered flesh and bones on its body dripped down like dumplings, turning into hundreds of stumbling, blood-colored Rotten Corpses.
The surrounding lush green vegetation began to wither after the Rotten Corpses appeared.
The health bar above the Abomination’s head also visibly recovered, refilling completely within a few seconds.
…
【Siphoning Rotten Corpse】
Level: 30
Combat Power: 60
Skills: Life Siphon, Life Transfer
…
“No way…”
Lin Yi’s eyes widened, “Are you seriously cheating?!”
A peak Tier 4 was already headache-inducing.
And it could summon a group of peak Tier 3 minions?
You’re not even bothering to act anymore, are you!
“The Lord says…”
From mid-air, Ailina’s prayer came again.
“Evil will ultimately be consumed by fire!”
“The Lord also says…”
“His wrath is not destruction, but another form of mercy.”
“In the name of my Lord, Lin Yi…”
Ailina’s eyes blazed with white light; she slightly spread her arms, and the feathers on her back began to burn one by one.
“I bestow upon you!”
“Ordeal by Fire!”
As her voice fell, all the Rotten Corpses, along with the Abomination, erupted with pure white flames.
Under the scorching heat, hundreds of Rotten Corpses couldn’t even last a second, instantly turning to ash.
The health bar above the Abomination BOSS’s head slowly decreased, but even after the flames extinguished, it still had 90% remaining!
“Damn it… as expected, it’s tough.”
With the healing Rotten Corpses eliminated, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Without recovery ability, killing the BOSS was only a matter of time…
“What exactly is this thing?!”
Suddenly, Xiang Yi’s exclamation reached his ears.
Looking up, Lin Yi’s eyelids twitched violently!
Shit!
The flesh and blood on the Abomination’s body fell off again, forming over 200 identical Rotten Corpses!
The health bar that had just been reduced by the holy fire refilled again!
“Ailina! Burn it to death!”
Lin Yi was getting anxious.
“My Lord…”
In mid-air, Ailina’s pretty face flushed slightly upon hearing this, “Divine arts cannot be used twice in a short period.”
“Huh?”
Lin Yi’s heart sank upon hearing that.
If they couldn’t deal with that healing support group, how could they fight this BOSS?
In the battlefield, Xiang Yi did want to clear out those Rotten Corpses herself.
But the Abomination didn’t give her a chance, constantly stomping and attacking her with its legs, and even extending an arm to form a long whip for auxiliary attacks.
Although Xiang Yi managed to deal damage to it each time, it was far from keeping up with its recovery speed!
In a prolonged battle, Xiang Yi would surely be no match for the Abomination once her stamina diminished.
Under the effect of accelerated thinking, countless countermeasures flashed through Lin Yi’s mind in an instant.
Now… it seemed there was only one way!
“All troops, heed my command!”
“All troops, heed my command!”
Lin Yi and Xiang Yi seemed to have thought of the same thing, speaking in unison, “Attack the Rotten Corpses!”
The Level 20 Scarlet Tassel Spearmen, under Xiang Yi’s command and with compatibility bonuses, had their attributes boosted to Level 28, equivalent to Level 23.
Even with accelerated thinking, sending them to face peak Tier 3 Rotten Corpses… sounded no different from sending them to their deaths.
“Form ranks!”
Wang Tiezhu’s muscles rippled, and her tanned cheeks visibly reddened.
Standing beside her, Lin Yi clearly felt her strength rising steadily!
In an instant, it had nearly doubled!
“Charge with me!”
Wang Tiezhu held her silver spear high, veins bulging on her forehead, and charged forward, leading the way.
The 200 Scarlet Tassel Spearmen behind her followed closely.
All of them had determined eyes, seemingly knowing no fear!
Even if the enemy’s strength far surpassed their own, Lin Yi vaguely saw faint threads of energy floating in the air around these warriors, slowly flying towards him.
“For our Lord, let us shed our last drop of blood!”
Wang Tiezhu roared, thrusting her silver spear towards the Rotten Corpses in front of her.
“For our Lord!”
“Let us shed our last drop of blood!”
The shouts of the Scarlet Tassel Spearmen pierced through stone and shattered gold, echoing through the sky.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi felt a lump in his throat; he wanted to say something, but couldn’t.
It should be known that the Pure Land had a resurrection effect.
Currently, only he and Old Man Wang knew about it.
The latter had never told anyone else in the territory without permission.
Knowing they might die, these warriors still charged forward without hesitation… simply following his command, even if it meant certain death, they would not flinch.
Lin Yi suddenly felt an ineffable sense of mission…
“Xiang Yi!”
He said with a solemn expression, his voice deep.
Xiang Yi, engaged in a fierce battle with the Abomination in the distance, glanced at the troops behind her and nodded slightly.
After creating some distance from the BOSS, the Overlord Spear pointed diagonally towards the sky!
A tangible energy vortex enveloped it.
Xiang Yi’s red lips parted slightly!
“Break the cauldrons!”
“Sink the boats!”
