Chapter 165: Kill People, Corpse Explosion, Snatch Boss
Though skeleton warriors always took a while to defeat bosses,
That was because bosses had extremely strong vitality.
A boss’s vitality was dozens or hundreds of times stronger than a knight of the same level.
Even with the same constitution attribute, it would take dozens of times longer to kill a boss than to deal the same amount of damage in the same time.
If a knight fought a boss with the same constitution one-on-one, without a healer behind to heal,
The knight would be killed by the boss.
It wasn’t that the attack power was inferior, but the huge difference in vitality.
Because of this, skeleton warriors displayed much greater effectiveness against career holders than when fighting bosses.
After a few skills landed, the knight was almost unable to withstand it.
Skill: Ultimate Defense!
The knight used his final survival skill.
The healer promptly cast healing skills to treat the knight’s wounds.
But even so, this could only delay things a little.
They were already surrounded by skeleton warriors, unable to escape even if they wanted to.
The second wave of spell attacks fell.
Screams rang out as the healer’s skill was half a beat too slow. A mage fell to the ground.
Wang Zihao saw through a gap that Lin Moyu had raised his hand.
He remembered the terrifying skill Lin Moyu had used in the Conquest Space before.
"No!"
Screams accompanied the explosion.
After a huge boom, only two knights were still alive.
The Ultimate Defense skill had temporarily saved their lives.
But it was only living a bit longer.
They looked at Lin Moyu with terror.
Unable to understand how a level 27 career holder could be so strong.
Seeing the military badge on Lin Moyu’s shoulder, they knew they were finished.
Two-star lieutenant, at least over 20,000 military merits.
How many demons and Man-Eaters would need to be killed to obtain such a rank?
This represented real strength.
They had hit a steel plate, and one covered in deadly poisonous spikes at that.
The Dynasty Guild’s other 8-person team was already fighting the [Battlefield Ghost King].
This team was clearly stronger than Wang Zihao’s team.
The lead Great Knight was a high-level career holder who had completed second transition, reaching level 42.
The team’s Archmage and the Great Elder responsible for healing were also high-level career holders.
The other career holders were all level 39. Taking down the level 39 [Battlefield Ghost King] was not difficult.
Mo Yun was harassing them from the air, but with little effect.
The level 40 second transition Archmage turned to restrain Mo Yun.
His skills were very powerful. Mo Yun’s protective light orb could only block two hits before being shattered.
Moreover, he had mastered several area attack skills. Mo Yun was firmly restrained, unable to exert her proper effect.
Though this slowed down the boss-killing speed considerably, as long as the knight could hold on, they could grind the boss down.
Mo Yun grew increasingly anxious.
Suddenly, she received a team invite from Lin Moyu.
She joined Lin Moyu’s team without hesitation.
"You dealt with them so quickly?"
Mo Yun looked down and saw Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi running over.
Several skeletons followed beside them.
The skeletons were carrying...
Corpses!
The corpses of the knights from the team just now!
Mo Yun quickly looked back towards the distance.
There was no one standing there anymore.
Only piles of dead bodies on the ground.
"They really killed them all!"
Mo Yun’s heart trembled.
Though she seemed aloof and cold, she usually just fought monsters and had never really killed people.
When Lin Moyu said earlier he would kill them, she didn’t quite believe it.
Now seeing it with her own eyes, he really had killed them!
As she was stunned, a huge fireball exploded beside her.
The unicorn let out a miserable cry as it was blasted away along with her.
Though uninjured, they were in a very sorry state.
The Archmage let out a cold laugh after blasting Mo Yun away, as if mocking her overconfidence.
Suddenly, he saw something flying towards him.
This looked like... a corpse?
The Archmage wasn’t sure. It was a dark lump, seeming to drip fresh blood along the way.
The corpse landed at the Archmage’s feet. The smell of blood immediately wafted up.
"Dynasty Guild clothes. This is one of our people!"
The Archmage’s eyes narrowed, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine.
But it was too late. The corpse exploded with a boom.
The Archmage’s magic shield shattered as he was sent flying.
Not just him, the entire team was hit by the explosion.
Then another corpse flew over.
It exploded in mid-air above the team.
Knights had the strongest vitality of all career holders.
Using them for Corpse Explosion had the greatest power.
After two consecutive explosions, the entire team was instantly wiped out except for the knight.
Only the knight, being far enough away to be outside the explosion range, was unharmed.
Mo Yun was stunned, completely dumbfounded.
She trembled along with the unicorn, unable to believe it.
So easily resolved...
The boss team she had no way to deal with was so easily wiped out.
"How is this possible?"
"Could I be under some mental skill, seeing illusions?"
"Did these people really just die like that?"
Question marks popped up one after another. Mo Yun couldn’t understand.
The Great Knight who had been tanking the boss suddenly shouted, "Great Elder, heal quickly!"
He called twice, but still no healing spell landed on him.
The boss’s attacks were very fierce. Without a healer, he couldn’t hold on for long.
With no healing, he had no choice but to activate his survival skill Ultimate Defense.
His defense instantly rose to the maximum. Even the boss couldn’t deal much damage to him.
He took the chance to turn and look. He wanted to see what the Great Elder was doing.
Looking back, he suddenly felt chills down his spine.
The team was gone, replaced by skeletons charging towards him.
"What is this!"
"Where did all these skeletons come from!"
"Where did the team go?"
His first reaction was to flee.
Hum!
A soft sound, and red light appeared overhead.
He found the boss’s speed had suddenly slowed.
Not just the boss, but he himself had slowed too.
Red shackles appeared above both his and the boss’s heads.
"Damn, it’s a curse!"
He moved in slow motion as the skeleton warriors quickly rushed over, surrounding both him and the boss.
The skeleton warriors unleashed their skills, landing on him.
Controlled by the curse, he couldn’t dodge.
He was still in Ultimate Defense state. The skeleton warriors’ Berserk Strike skill didn’t deal much damage to him.
It only greatly shortened the duration of Ultimate Defense.
His heart filled with indescribable terror. He wanted to flee but was surrounded by skeleton warriors with no way out.
The skeleton warriors kept attacking him. The Ultimate Defense time grew shorter and shorter.
Seeing Ultimate Defense about to disappear.
He suddenly shouted loudly, "Group Protection!"
A ball of light appeared around his body, looking similar to a mage’s shield. It was a group protection skill.
Though not as powerful as Ultimate Defense, it could be used in emergencies.
It was his final struggle.
Several corpses flew overhead.
He heard deafening explosion sounds.
The first explosion shattered Group Protection.
The second explosion dealt unprecedented damage, taking most of his life.
The third explosion extinguished his consciousness. He died decisively.
With his death, the Battlefield Ghost King lost its target. It suddenly let out a sharp cry, immediately targeting Lin Moyu.
The three Corpse Explosions had dealt significant damage. Lin Moyu had also become its primary attack target.
The Battlefield Ghost King suddenly turned to smoke, passing through the skeleton warriors’ encirclement to appear before Lin Moyu.
When it turned to smoke, the curse’s power disappeared.
After returning to solid form, the curse no longer existed, as if it had been devoured.
A huge palm slammed down from above!
"Be careful!"
Mo Yun snapped out of her shock and quickly warned.
Lin Moyu didn’t dodge, letting it hit him.
He had full confidence in his Bone Armor.
[Battlefield Ghost King (World Boss)]
[Level: 39]
[Strength: 25,000]
[Agility: 20,000]
[Spirit: 20,000]
[Constitution: 25,000]
[Skills: Void, Bewitchment, Life Drain]
[Traits: Physical damage reduced by 50%, Holy damage increased by 50%]
Lin Moyu had already used Detection to check the Battlefield Ghost King’s attributes along the way.
He had a general understanding of its various abilities.
Its attributes were very strong, surpassing the skeleton warriors in strength and constitution.
With the trait of reducing physical damage by 50%, combined with the boss’s formidable vitality, the skeleton warriors would probably take a while to kill it.
As long as it didn’t have any control skills, there was nothing to worry about.
Lin Moyu again acted as a meat shield.
The skeleton warriors surrounded the Battlefield Ghost King, frantically outputting damage. The skeleton mages also continuously released skills.
Physical attacks, mage attacks, the Battlefield Ghost King devoured them all.
Mo Yun was stunned. They could fight like this?
The next second she also joined the battle, her unicorn constantly launching attacks.
The unicorn’s attacks had holy attributes, dealing 50% more damage to the Battlefield Ghost King. The effect was quite good.
The damage the Battlefield Ghost King took in just half a minute was more than what the previous team had done in over ten minutes.
It let out a scream that pierced the eardrums, chilling the soul.
Skill: Bewitchment.
Mo Yun in mid-air suddenly lost focus, her gaze becoming unfocused.
The unicorn’s neigh sounded at the same time, waking Mo Yun up.
Mo Yun broke out in a cold sweat. She had actually been bewitched.
Looking at Lin Moyu again, he seemed unaffected.
Not just him, but Ning Yiyi was the same.
Bone Armor flashed brightly, blocking the Bewitchment skill.
Skill: Life Drain!
The Battlefield Ghost King used another skill.
Invisible chains fell on the group and the skeletons as the Battlefield Ghost King began draining life force.
Bone Armor flashed brightly. The Battlefield Ghost King couldn’t drain any life force at all.
Mo Yun’s unicorn also released a protective light orb, firmly protecting Mo Yun.
As for the skeleton warriors, they had no life force to begin with, so nothing could be drained.
The Battlefield Ghost King roared repeatedly, but to no avail.
Its vitality was rapidly decreasing.
It turned ethereal several times, but could only delay for a moment.
When the Void skill activated, it entered a state of physical immunity and could also devour the curse’s power.
That was only useless against the skeleton warriors’ attacks. The skeleton mages’ skills could still damage it even in ethereal state.
Lin Moyu would also promptly reapply Slow Curse after the ethereal state ended.
The lifeless skeletons and Bone Armor immune to all negative states completely countered the [Battlefield Ghost King].
The [Battlefield Ghost King] grew weaker and weaker.
Mo Yun was excited, clenching her little fists, "We’ve finally got it!"
