Chapter 534: Chapter 534: High Difficulty Boss
The difficulty of this dungeon is evident. Even though they’ve went in circles, it’s been days now and they’re still stuck on the first boss, barely hanging on.
“Haha, they’ve been at the first boss for days, I bet they’re nauseous by now. Let’s hope we don’t get stuck on the last boss.” The Guardian Angel knowing about the state of other guilds started to find amusement in their struggle.
“Shut up.”
Twenty people glared at the Guardian Angel.
The Guardian Angel was on the verge of tears. “I only made a comment. Why are you all so harsh?”
“If you can’t stop yourself from spewing nonsense, say less.” Fruit Knight retorted with indifference.
“Your big mouth nearly got us killed at the last boss, and you’re still at it. I suggest we kick him out, he brings bad luck,” said Dumb Dumb, shaking her small fists at him.
Sister Li said, “If you can’t keep your big mouth shut, so be it, but if you talk nonsense, you may bear the consequences. Why don’t we start by not letting you sleep in the bed for the next month?”
“Watts, you’re poisonous,” Guardian Angel muttered.
Fruit Knight nodded seriously, saying, “That makes sense. But I think a month is too short. How about three months?”
“Honey, don’t do this,” Guardian Angel’s face went pale. He knew his wife all too well. She would follow through on her threats. If he couldn’t sleep in the same bed for three months, he wouldn’t be able to bear it…
The crowd burst into laughter, but Fruit Knight seriously said, “Then you better watch what you’re saying. Do you realise how exhausting it is to be the main tank? Let’s change that to a month and a half. Depending on your future performance, we may or may not add more time.”
Guardian Angel was speechless. Then he looked at the crowd with resentment and said, “You guys… Meow.”
The Guardian Angel was filled with grief but had no choice but to stay silent, teary-eyed.
“Playing a profession that’s always getting beat up in the game, you must be a masochist in real life too. Good thing Sister Fruit is here to discipline you,” Dumb Dumb said excitedly while dealing damage.
The Guardian Angel could only turn his resentment into strength. After holding back for a while, he finally said, “Guild leader, aren’t you going to do something? Look at what your guild members are doing. They have ruined my family.”
Li Yao replied seriously, “I think the atmosphere is great. We’re passionate and cheerful. Friends tease each other, right? My brother, for the sake of unity, the guild will remember your contributions. Sister Li, please give some extra points for the Guardian Angel.”
“Okay,” Sister Li also responded seriously. “Let’s give him 10 additional guild points for this boss.”
The crowd laughed again, praising the wisdom of the guild leader and deputy Guild leader, and the generosity of the Guardian Angel.
Amidst laughter and chatter, the team finally arrived at the grand hall of the altar.
After wiping out the last wave of Nightmare Monsters, they saw the final boss.
A colossal centaur, at least twice as big as the normal ones, lay on the altar.
This centaur had become black and red, with black scales all over its body. There were many spots on its body shining with a crimson glow, like crystal stones.
“So you are the warriors my son chose to end me. It is not too late.” A deep but weak voice reached them.
Li Yao bowed respectfully to the elderly Khan, saying, “I felt an instant kinship with Young Khan and we became sworn brothers. Under his instruction, I came here.”
His eyes flashed brightly as he said, “That is very good. I can still control for a moment. You must act quickly. Kill me, pour my hot blood on the statue, and activate the final array of the divine statue to destroy this place.”
“This…” Li Yao hesitated. If the opponent was mad, it would be easier to make a move. But now, with him being sober, it was a bit…
Although it was just a game, at least in the game, he was considered an elder.
“Do not hesitate, hurry up. In my prime, you wouldn’t have been a match for me. Attack the Seeds of Nightmare on my brow and other parts. Hurry, you have at most one minute,” old Khan urged.
“You old fool, you deserve to die. You’re still trying to ruin the plans of the Nightmare God at this time. It’s despicable.” A voice, identical to Khan’s, but filled with madness and murderous intent, erupted from Khan’s mouth.
“Don’t hesitate, go ahead.” Khan urged Li Yao anxiously again, then said, “Even if it consumes all my soul power, I must suppress you.”
Li Yao gave the order, “All ranged units, target the red crystals on Khan. Begin.”
As Li Yao issued his order, the team quickly dispersed and surrounded Khan, attacking constantly.
The group found that besides his forehead, Khan had six Nightmare Crystals on his body.
And they also discovered that apart from attacking the crystals, their skills had almost zero effect on the rest of his body, as if he was covered in a layer of Divine Armor.
Each Nightmare Crystal had 50,000 hit points. While the resistance wasn’t high, the targets weren’t big.
By the time they shattered six and a half crystals, the centaur Khan was shrouded in black mist, and the green glow on him had completely disappeared.
“Whoa, it turns out there’s an advantage to getting on good terms with Young Khan. We basically bypassed the first stage,” said Guardian Angel.
“Not bad. Normally, this wouldn’t be the case. Battling with this invincible monster and trying to hit the crystals would make the first stage extremely difficult. I didn’t expect us to bypass it,” said Unparalleled Beauty. She didn’t know what to say. Was this pure luck? But without extraordinary strength, such luck wouldn’t be triggered.
“You bastards, you’re seeking death.” He suddenly stood up.
With a wave of black shockwave, all the melee players, including Fruit Knight, were knocked back.
Li Yao’s attack didn’t stop. Even as he stood up, Li Yao’s attack hit the last crystal with absolute accuracy, and finally the Nightmare Crystal shattered.
Roar…
A column of light on the altar completely engulfed him, and a vague shadow appeared on him. The shadow was identical to Khan. At first, the shadow was extremely thin, but as time progressed and with the continuous black light, the outline of the shadow became clearer and clearer.
“He can split,” said Unparalleled Beauty solemnly.
Li Yao nodded and said, “It seems we have to face two elderly Khans this time. Fruit, you continue to hold on to the current one, Jin Jin, you take the second one, I’ll have Spider Tank help you.”
“Then how do we deal damage?” Sister Li asked.
Li Yao frowned and said, “I’m not sure, let’s focus on dealing damage to the one Fruit is holding.”
