Remains Chamber Map Introduction — The Remains Chamber is where Ouna discards his failed experimental subjects. The resentment of these discarded subjects continuously accumulated, eventually forming many vengeful spirits in the Remains Chamber!
As Lin Zheng looked at the map introduction, vengeful spirits emerged from the scattered corpses on the ground. These vengeful spirits had no legs, only the upper half of their bodies, with translucent forms. Their faces constantly shifted, displaying expressions full of hatred, making them look incredibly eerie!
Malicious Vengeful Spirit: Level 60, Physical Attack 0-1920, Magic Attack 1024-1830, Physical Defense 0, Magic Defense 750, Health 8650, Skill — Shriek! Vengeful spirits formed from the accumulated resentment in the Remains Chamber. Their spiritual bodies allow them to reduce physical damage by 99%, but because they are formed from resentment, their resistance to light attacks is negative, causing them to take double damage from light attacks!
99% physical damage reduction, this is quite a headache. Both of them are physical attack classes, and all their attacks are calculated based on physical damage! Fortunately, the monsters in this stage didn't all rush out at once, giving them time to think about how to deal with this stage.
Suddenly, Lin Zheng smiled, and under Xiao Mo's questioning gaze, he swapped out his shattered moon and took out the dagger he had recently been using as an arrow!
"Why did you switch to a dagger?" Xiao Mo found Lin Zheng's actions hard to understand, a look of confusion on her face. Lin Zheng smiled proudly, "This dagger isn't simple, just watch!" With that, Lin Zheng gripped the dagger and charged at a vengeful spirit. With a normal attack, the dagger plunged into the vengeful spirit's face, dealing -2634 damage! A powerful damage number instantly floated up. Xiao Mo's mouth rounded in surprise, completely baffled as to why Lin Zheng's ordinary physical attack could deal such high damage to the vengeful spirit!
The attacked vengeful spirit immediately began its Reversal. A sharp shriek erupted from its mouth, making Lin Zheng's ears ache. At the same time, two damage numbers floated above his head, -760 and -680, along with a 3-second stun effect! After the Shriek, the vengeful spirit brandished its sharp claws, fiercely swiping at Lin Zheng! Just as the vengeful spirit attacked Lin Zheng, Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly lit up. She raised the rapier in her hand and stabbed forward, Chain Strike! "Zheng—" A series of continuous stabbing sounds rang out. Lin Zheng, still stunned, saw a large string of damage numbers float above the vengeful spirit's head, and then with a scream, it turned into a wisp of green smoke.
"Hmph! Miss is amazing, aren't I!" Xiao Mo said proudly, looking at the stunned Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng blinked, regaining his ability to move, and stared at the girl in surprise. It turned out that the moment the vengeful spirit launched a physical attack, its body would transform into a physical state. This time was extremely short, probably less than 0.5 seconds! Yet, Xiao Mo managed to seize this instant to attack the vengeful spirit, instantly killing it! This level of eyesight and speed was truly astonishing!
"Incredible!" Lin Zheng didn't hesitate to praise Xiao Mo, which made her incredibly proud, her nose practically turned up to the sky!
"Alright then, this is how we'll proceed!" Lin Zheng began to outline their battle plan. "These vengeful spirits will use the Shriek skill the moment they are attacked. This skill seems to be an area-of-effect attack and also has a stun effect, so I'll have to go in and aggro them. After the vengeful spirit's Shriek ends, you can go in and kill them. Can you do that!?"
"Mhm!" Xiao Mo nodded, indicating no problem!
"Good! Then let's go!" With that, Lin Zheng once again gripped his dagger and charged at a vengeful spirit. Using only a normal attack, he stabbed the vengeful spirit. As the vengeful spirit lost health, it indeed activated Shriek. However, this skill isn't 100% guaranteed to stun. At least this time, Lin Zheng wasn't stunned, but even without being stunned, Lin Zheng didn't attack this vengeful spirit. Instead, he charged at another. As Lin Zheng attacked the second vengeful spirit, Xiao Mo had already used a Chain Strike to instantly kill the first vengeful spirit. This was much more efficient than slowly pulling them one by one!
The Remains Chamber also contained 200 vengeful spirits. Killing one took less than 5 seconds on average. Adding in the time for pulling monsters and such, in 20 minutes, they had cleared all the vengeful spirits in the Remains Chamber! Afterward, they became vigilant, as there was still a boss yet to appear!
"Bang—" A door in the Remains Chamber was smashed open. Accompanied by a cacophony of roars, a massive figure slowly emerged from a cloud of dust. Once the dust settled, a three-headed beast appeared before them!
Ouna's Hellhound SS, Physical Attack 3012-4210, Physical Defense 1160, Magic Defense 1025, Health 387500, Skill — Hellfire! The Hellhound summoned by Ouna, go through his modifications, this Hellhound possesses stronger offensive capabilities but reduced defense. It guards the Remains Chamber and treats it as its own dining hall!
Sure enough, the pets of heavy-tasting guys are also heavy-tasting! Lin Zheng looked at the Hellhound's three ferocious heads, those three drooling, fanged, blood-red mouths. Even in harmony, they made one shudder! The main thing was that this creature was simply too big; one open mouth was enough to swallow Lin Zheng whole!
"This is truly a super tough nut to crack!" Lin Zheng said with a bitter smile. This creature's attack was simply too high, and it had three mouths, so its attack frequency was definitely no joke! If it were just that, the problem wouldn't be too big, but the key was! Tier suppression! Lin Zheng, being a bit tougher, could probably withstand two hits, but Xiao Mo, with her store-bought gear, was definitely destined for an instant kill! Kite it? Ridiculous, how big was this Remains Chamber? Two steps and there would be nowhere to run!
The boss didn't give Lin Zheng and Xiao Mo time to think. With three gaping mouths, scorching Hellfire spewed towards them! Fortunately, they were some distance from the boss. Seeing the boss's mouths full of flames, they immediately dodged backward. "Boom—" The Hellfire sprayed onto the ground, incinerating the remains there completely. Moreover, this Hellfire was continuous damage, remaining on the ground for a long time without disappearing!
"Damn it—we'll just have to go all in!" Lin Zheng cursed, disassembled shattered moon, and charged forward! Roar—the Hellhound swiped a claw at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng pushed off, dodging the massive claw, but at the same time, a gaping maw bit directly at him. "Zheng—" Xiao Mo's Chain Strike instantly struck, piercing the boss's huge dog eye! The dog head let out a scream, and its attack on Lin Zheng failed. But the Hellhound had three heads! "Roar—" Another massive dog head, with its fanged mouth wide open, bit at Xiao Mo! Seeing the rapidly approaching bloody maw, Xiao Mo had nowhere to dodge and could only resign herself to fate, closing her eyes…
