Chapter 112: Infinite Control, Simply Cheating
A terrifying aura emanated from the stone statue, permeating the entire dungeon.
Lin Moyu’s breath suddenly caught.
The powerful pressure made his heart race. This was the pressure from level difference.
Under Detection, the boss’s attributes were revealed.
[Outpost Guardian (Hell Difficulty Boss)]
[Level: 33]
[Strength: 15000]
[Agility: 13000]
[Spirit: 10000]
[Constitution: 15000]
[Skills: Mass Knockback, Mass Stun, Resistance Enhancement]
All four attributes were over 10,000.
The attributes seemed inferior to skeleton warriors.
But it was a boss. With a boss’s powerful vitality, combined with 15,000 constitution,
Its defense was terrifying, making it very difficult to kill.
Mass Knockback and Mass Stun, two skills with control effects, gave Lin Moyu a headache.
In this Hell dungeon, the skeleton warriors had suffered enough from being controlled.
Lin Moyu quickly retreated, maintaining at least 500 meters distance from the Guardian. Red light flickered in his palm.
The stone statue completely shattered. The Guardian roared to the sky, announcing its arrival.
A huge red net fell from the sky.
With a loud buzz, crimson shackles appeared above the Guardian’s head.
Its roar instantly became drawn out.
Speed reduced by 33 times, all actions would be slowed.
As the shackles appeared, the skeleton warriors had already charged forward.
Light flashed as they activated skills.
Skill: Berserk Strike.
The skeleton mages’ various skills followed, raining down on the Guardian.
With its speed slowed 33 times, the Guardian couldn’t react in time.
By the time it finished roaring, skeleton warriors had already climbed all over it, surrounding its feet.
The skeleton warriors’ skills finished activating, over a hundred blades hacking at it vigorously.
There was no scene of flesh being torn open.
The Guardian’s defense was extremely strong. Covered in scales, the skeleton warriors’ blades struck it with metallic clangs.
The clanging sounds were non-stop.
Lin Moyu knew there was definitely damage, just not much.
After all, the skeleton warriors were only level 22.
The boss was level 33, a full 11 levels higher than the skeleton warriors.
Moreover, it was a Hell difficulty boss, incomparably stronger than Nightmare difficulty bosses of the same level.
A level 22 soloing a level 26 dungeon, and Hell difficulty at that, plus a dragon monster dungeon.
Lin Moyu had directly challenged the highest difficulty.
The roar ended. The Guardian looked down at the skeleton warriors at its feet.
Under the curse, its movements became extremely slow, like slow motion.
In the time it took to look down, the skeleton warriors had already hacked at it several times.
Over 100 skeleton warriors meant several hundred strikes.
Plus the skeleton mages’ skills, which had already fired two rounds.
Even if each hit didn’t do much damage, it added up.
The Outpost Guardian’s face clearly showed anger.
Light of intelligence flickered in its eyes.
Compared to other dragon monsters, its intelligence was clearly a bit higher.
Brilliant light suddenly burst from its body.
The light was dazzling.
Skill: Resistance Enhancement!
The crimson shackles above its head immediately weakened.
Though still present, they were no longer as red or vivid.
The curse’s effect was reduced.
The Outpost Guardian’s movements immediately sped up.
"Not good!"
Lin Moyu inwardly exclaimed.
He instantly reapplied Slow Curse.
But it was useless.
Light enveloped the Outpost Guardian, the curse’s effect still greatly weakened.
It drew the giant blade from its back. The 6-meter long, 1-meter wide blade swept in front of it like a fierce wind.
Skill: Mass Knockback!
The skill activated. Whether at its feet or on its body, all skeleton warriors were knocked back without exception.
The skill range wasn’t small. The skeleton warriors were knocked back at least 20 meters.
Immediately after, the Outpost Guardian leapt high, brilliant light flashing on its blade again as it slammed into the ground with a boom.
Skill: Mass Stun.
This time the range was even larger. Powerful shockwaves covered a 50-meter radius.
All skeleton warriors were stunned simultaneously.
The skeleton warriors lost their combat ability again, standing there like wooden stakes.
After controlling the skeleton warriors, it began to launch fierce attacks on them.
Its blade fell on the skeleton warriors repeatedly.
Cracking sounds came from the skeleton warriors’ bodies, clearly injured.
Fortunately the skeleton warriors’ attributes were also very high. They could withstand it for a short time.
Though the Outpost Guardian had powerful control skills, it didn’t have powerful attack skills.
As a boss, the Outpost Guardian’s attack power wasn’t even as high as the dragon assassins.
Lin Moyu retreated a bit further, always maintaining 500 meters distance from the Guardian.
The skeleton warriors couldn’t move and couldn’t be recalled to the summoning space.
He ordered the skeleton mages to attack with full force.
The skeleton mages’ various skills rained down on the Outpost Guardian like raindrops, exploding in brilliant flashes of light.
The Outpost Guardian was blasted painfully. Its attention shifted from the skeleton warriors to the skeleton mages.
Its blade flashed as it leapt towards the skeleton mages.
Light glowed on the blade again.
Another Mass Stun skill.
"Again!"
Lin Moyu reacted extremely quickly, instantly recalling all skeleton mages to the summoning space.
The Outpost Guardian’s blade struck the ground, blasting out powerful shockwaves, but the skeleton mages were already gone.
It was a bit confused. How did the targets suddenly disappear?
It quickly turned and began attacking the skeleton warriors again.
The attacked skeleton took more and more damage. Its bones were covered in cracks, seeming about to fall apart at any moment.
30 seconds later, the stun effect wore off.
The skeleton warriors all ran over, surrounding and attacking the Guardian again.
Lin Moyu also recalled that heavily damaged skeleton warrior the instant the effect ended.
At the same time, he sent out the skeleton mages again, having them attack from maximum range.
The moment the skeleton mages appeared, the Outpost Guardian suddenly leapt up. Light flashed on its blade as it slashed towards the skeleton mages.
Another skill.
Lin Moyu reacted extremely fast, quickly recalling the skeleton mages to the summoning space.
Shockwaves swept out again. Lin Moyu’s movements were too fast. The skeleton mages were all recalled and took no damage.
The Outpost Guardian clearly felt something was strange. They were there just now, how did they suddenly disappear?
Suddenly it felt pain on its body. The skeleton warriors had run back and were hacking at it with their blades.
Light flashed from the Outpost Guardian’s body again.
Knockback.
All the skeleton warriors that had run over were knocked back.
Then it activated Mass Stun again.
The skeleton warriors fell into a stunned state again, losing the ability to resist.
"No end to this, huh!"
Lin Moyu was a bit frustrated.
The Outpost Guardian’s attack power as a boss was actually just so-so, but its control skills were too annoying.
It seemed to have no cooldown.
There was a cooldown, but very short.
Lin Moyu estimated it was about 10 seconds.
But the stun effect lasted 30 seconds.
Infinite stuns, infinite control.
This was simply cheating.
Extremely frustrating.
He had no idea that this was exactly why Bai Yiyuan thought he couldn’t possibly clear it.
Lin Moyu’s eyes turned. He sent out the skeleton mages again.
As soon as they appeared, the skeleton mages quickly spread out, running in different directions.
They surrounded the Outpost Guardian in a circle with a diameter of nearly 400 meters.
The Outpost Guardian was in the center of the circle.
This way, the Outpost Guardian couldn’t control all the skeleton mages at once.
Massive spell attacks rained down on the Outpost Guardian again.
Skills came from all directions. The skeleton mages were positioned far apart. It could only control two or three at most in one go.
Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He had finally found a way to deal with it.
But the next second, Lin Moyu’s hair stood on end.
The Outpost Guardian actually raised its head to look at him.
The best way to deal with summons was to kill the summoner.
With its weak intelligence, it had actually realized this.
With a huge boom, the ground cracked as the Outpost Guardian leapt high, pouncing directly towards Lin Moyu.
"Damn it!"
He hadn’t expected the Outpost Guardian to target him. With his speed, he couldn’t possibly dodge.
Lin Moyu steeled himself, recasting Bone Armor while flames flickered in his hand.
Skill: Soul Fire!
The airborne Outpost Guardian let out a miserable scream, but it didn’t affect its actions.
Light glowed on its blade.
Skill: Mass Stun.
The huge blade slammed down just 10 meters from Lin Moyu.
Shockwaves swept out. The Bone Armor on Lin Moyu flashed with silver-white light constantly.
"Huh? I’m not stunned!"
Lin Moyu was amazed. The Outpost Guardian’s skill had no effect on him.
The next second he understood. The Bone Armor had blocked the shockwaves.
"So Bone Armor has this effect too."
"Not only can it block damage, it can also block control skills."
Lin Moyu was overjoyed. A new strategy immediately formed in his mind.
