The abyssal ghost did not seem to intend to let Xie Feng think too much as it immediately ran into him.
Seeing BOSS running and feeling the slight tremor of the ground, Xie Feng was momentarily surprised. This surprise was not due to the 5 meter height of the abyssal ghost, it was due to its speed of movement base.
The Guardian Ghost had a base movement speed of approximately 100 points, however, this Abyssal Ghost actually had a base movement speed of 120 points!
This means that even without using his active Charge skill, the Abyssal Ghost was several points faster than Xie Feng!
Xie Feng turned and ran, trying to keep his distance from the abyssal ghost for as long as possible. After turning around, Xie Feng aimed with his right hand and threw a fireball, successfully hitting the monster.

The difference in rank between the Guardian Ghost and the Abyssal Ghost became evident to Xie Feng after seeing the damage caused by his more powerful attack skill.
Still, there was no surprise in his face. There was only indifference.
The distance between the abyssal ghost and Xie Feng was closing quickly due to the difference in speed of movement.
Only 5 seconds later, the abyssal ghost was only 1 meter away. During these 5 seconds, Xie Feng threw 2 fireballs and 1 magic bullet without missing any and without losing even 0.1 second of cool down time.
The abyssal ghost, now with 1700 points of HP less, raised its sword high and cut down with the intention of cutting Xie Feng in half.
Xie Feng did not bother to look back and simply took a step to the left. The abyssal ghost's sword missed its target and hit the ground causing a great sound.
Immediately after dodging, Xie Feng turned 180 grades while cutting horizontally with his sword, successfully striking the lower body of the monster.

After cutting once, Xie Feng passed by the abyssal ghost while running to the opposite side. A fraction of a second after taking the first step, he shot a fireball.
-279
Although Xie Feng could have thrown a magic bullet next to the cut, he decided to wait exactly 0.4 seconds, as it was the time needed for the fireball skill to come out of its cool down.
The bull turned around and chased immediately afterwards. While running, Xie Feng suddenly felt danger and tried to get out of the way.
Unfortunately, the abyssal ghost had used its Charge skill, increasing its movement speed to 160 points. Realizing that he would not have time to dodge, Xie Feng cut back with his sword and took 60 points of life from the BOSS.
*Bang* -260
Xie Feng was hit on the back and was sent flying almost 10 meters. Even so, he didn't waste any opportunity and even in the air he fired a magic bullet.
-210
The abyssal ghost attack had drained half of his health bar. This made Xie Feng realize an important and cruel fact, namely, that he could only take one blow and not two, otherwise he would die.
If the abyssal ghost attacks with Whirlwind and Xie Feng is hit he will lose 400 points of life immediately and if he is hit once more, his little more than 500 health points will be drained to 0.
Xie Feng maneuvered his body and took a turn in the air to land on the ground without any problems. Without giving him time to rest, the abyssal ghost immediately ran towards him.
Xie Feng took advantage of the distance generated by the impact and ran while drinking a medium HP potion.
+50 HP points

+50 HP points
-278
The medium HP potions regenerate a total of 300 life points in a 6 second period, so every second that passed, Xie Feng recovered 50 life points.
It only took less than 3 seconds before the abyssal ghost reached Xie Feng again.
The abyssal ghost cut down again with its sword without any skill, only brute force, with the only objective of crushing its enemy.
Xie Feng made a sharp right turn and was able to dodge the attack for a few inches. These changes of pace may seem simple to mention but in reality, if a normal, untrained person tries to change the direction of their body abruptly while running at such a high speed, it is possible for that person to injure their muscles.
Although muscle tearing does not exist in Samsara Online, forced movements subtract HP since everything is based on the person's ability in the real world.
Immediately after dodging, Xie Feng struck with a physical and a magical attack at the same time, showing terrifying physical and mental coordination.

Predicting movements of the enemy, reacting to the attack, dodging, attacking with two completely different styles. All in one second!
After dodging and attacking, Xie Feng ran to the opposite side as he had done in the previous case.
The abyssal ghost turned quickly and chased. Its active skill, Charge, was activated again. Because the rate of use of the Guardian Ghost was low, it was not activated very often.
However, the Abyssal Ghost had a normal use rate so the Charge skill would be used quite often. Still, Xie Feng is not a person who enjoys tripping over the same stone twice.
Even while running, Xie Feng was paying attention to every detail and movement of the Abyssal Ghost so when BOSS activated the skill, Xie Feng noticed it immediately.
While rejoicing that he had studied the movement of the monsters while it was still easy, Xie Feng continued to run and put his two hands on the ground. Then, he began to spin, alternating between his feet and his hands, jumping higher and higher.
By the time the bull reached Xie Feng, he applied all his strength in his hands for the last time and took a huge jump upwards. Taking advantage of the abyssal ghost leaning forward while running, Xie Feng passed over his body.
Successfully dodging the attack, Xie Feng again continued to attack.
After being hit once, Xie Feng did not get hit by the abyssal ghost again even after 5 minutes.
The reason he had not yet killed the monster is because, as he did at the beginning of the first stage, Xie Feng wanted to take advantage of the fact that this was the easiest level of the second stage to get used to the change in speed, movement, and skill of the Abyssal Ghost, just as he did with the Guardian Ghost.
After six minutes of fighting, Xie Feng, who was about to move aside to avoid the attack of the abyssal ghost, suddenly stopped his steps unconsciously.
This is because, the abyssal ghost, who usually cut with its sword from top to bottom, suddenly tilted its body back and moved its sword horizontally.
Only a thousandth of a second after stopping his body, Xie Feng's mind seemed to grasp something, but his body moved before his brain.
By instinct rooted deep within himself, Xie Feng jumped into the air as he turned his body horizontally to the ground, remaining in a suspended position in the air as he spun.
'Finally activated, Whirlwind!', Xie Feng thought as he looked with his eyes wide open at the abyssal ghost, for fear of missing the smallest detail in its movements.
Like a super computer, even while in the air, Xie Feng's brain analyzed, processed the information and began to prepare countermeasures.
Before falling to the ground, Xie Feng smiled fiercely.
Finally, on his first attempt, he found the only position within a range of 2 meters that the abyssal ghost definitely could not hit.
***
[Ding!... You have successfully completed the second stage. Go to the door at the end of the passage to continue with the next stage.]
Xie Feng did not hear the system announcement.
At this point, he had just successfully passed the 5th level of the second stage. That is, he had just defeated 5 Abyssal Ghosts.
In other words, he just defeated 5 Lord BOSS rank monsters!
A BOSS monster Lord rank is 2 or 3 times stronger than a BOSS monster Sun rank. Therefore, to defeat a Lord rank monster, a group of 20 or more elite players is needed.
In addition, at this stage of the game, the maximum HP of the players does not exceed 300 points, with minimal exceptions such as shield keepers and players who were lucky to get good equipment.
The only reason why Xie Feng has more than 500 points of life is because the Ring of the God of Destruction gives him 200 points of HP.
In conclusion, the fact that Xie Feng defeated 5 Abyssal Ghosts, alone, is a feat sufficient to shake up the entire virtual world.
From the time Xie Feng entered level 1 of the second stage until now, the total time he spent is 10 full hours.
To get past level 5 of the second stage, the time it took Xie Feng was 7 hours. After almost 10 hours of extreme concentration, since the slightest mistake would cause his death, Xie Feng felt that he was finally reaching his limit.
Xie Feng's eyes were out of focus, his body was sweating fiercely and his breathing was extremely labored. He did not care about his image and lay down on the ground.
Suddenly, Xie Feng's eyes began to close involuntarily. No matter what, he is also a human being, so he has his limits.
[Ding!... Warning! A decrease in the player's brain activity has been detected. It is recommended that you disconnect, otherwise your health could be affected!]

[Ding!... Warning! A decrease in the player's brain activity has been detected. It is recommended that you disconnect, otherwise your health could be affected!]
[Warning!....]
[Warning!....]
"Shut up! Don't you dare disconnect me, damn!". Xie Feng's eyes, which were about to close, opened fiercely and shouted with an angry expression.
Surrendering? he hadn't even reached the end and had to surrender? Xie Feng can't afford something like that, definitely not.
However, that shout drained all his resistance and although his eyes were not closed, his body did not allow him to move. No matter how much he insisted, his body did not respond to his demands.
[Ding!... Critical Danger detected! You will be forcibly disconnected in 10 seconds.]
