Chapter 202: Prerequisite Task for the True Fire God Temple
Lin Moyu quickly passed through the garden, entering the deepest part of the dungeon.
The temperature kept rising, becoming even more scorching.
"As expected of Hell difficulty."
"Nightmare difficulty requires double support, Hell difficulty needs at least four to five supports."
"Ordinary teams can’t even think about running this."
For this level 32 dungeon, Hell difficulty allowed a maximum 12-person team of level 37 players to enter.
Without special equipment, even four supports might not be enough.
This dungeon’s difficulty was too high, harder than any dungeon Lin Moyu had run before.
The constant fire damage would give all career holders a major headache.
Finally, he reached the deepest part of the dungeon.
By now, over 3 hours had passed since he entered.
This batch of skeleton mages was nearing their limit.
"Resolve the battle within 10 minutes!"
Calculating the time, he had to finish the battle within 10 minutes if he didn’t want these skeleton mages to die here too.
In the deepest part of the dungeon, a majestic lava waterfall flowed.
Lin Moyu looked up and saw a giant eye at the top of the dungeon.
It was the flaming giant eye he had seen outside the palace.
Now the flaming eye had flown in from outside, landing atop the waterfall.
The entire lava waterfall rumbled loudly.
Huge rocks rolled down, the waterfall’s flow stopped, the mountain changed shape.
Before Lin Moyu, the mountain became a giant, with the flaming eye becoming its eye.
A one-eyed giant.
Its body made of huge rocks, over 20 meters tall, with lava flowing freely over it.
[Lava Giant (Hell-level Boss)]
[Elemental Overlord (Hell Dungeon Boss)]
[Level: 38]
[Strength: 25000]
[Agility: 10000]
[Spirit: 10000]
[Constitution: 25000]
[Skills: Death Fire Line, Lava Ejection, Volcanic Eruption]
[Traits: Immune to fire elemental attacks, greatly enhances fire elements.]
A level 38 Hell-level boss, with total attributes of 70,000, comparable to the level 39 Elemental Overlord in the [Battlefield 3] dungeon.
Its strength and constitution had already surpassed skeleton warriors.
Hell boss...
Lin Moyu was somewhat surprised.
He had thought the final boss of [Fire God Palace] would be a monster named Fire God.
Unexpectedly it was a Lava Giant.
And the Fire God Key and Fire God Flower he had just obtained seemed to have no use here.
Lin Moyu felt things weren’t so simple.
But he was certain this dungeon had reached its end, with no more paths beyond.
He keenly noticed the information on the Fire God Key.
[Fire God Key: Key to open the true Fire God Temple]
In other words, the Fire God Palace and Fire God Temple were not the same dungeon.
The Fire God Palace was merely a prerequisite dungeon for the Fire God Temple.
Some dungeons had prerequisite tasks that had to be completed to qualify for entry.
It seemed the true Fire God Temple was like this.
This dungeon named [Fire God Palace] before him was just the prerequisite dungeon for the true Fire God Temple.
In an instant, Lin Moyu understood.
The Lava Giant let out a roar, its giant eye immediately shooting out a line of fire.
Skill: Death Fire Line!
The fire line moved incredibly fast. Lin Moyu was hit before he could react.
With a bang, the Bone Armor flashed brightly, then made a cracking sound.
Lin Moyu hurriedly applied another layer of Bone Armor.
Since entering the dungeon, the Bone Armor had been constantly enduring fire damage, its strength greatly reduced.
Combined with the Lava Giant’s powerful Death Fire Line skill, the Bone Armor had reached its limit.
"Not bad!"
Since he had reached the final stage of the dungeon, there was no need to hold back anymore.
He needed to resolve the battle within 10 minutes. 3 minutes had already passed, leaving 7 minutes.
With a thought, all remaining skeletons were summoned.
A total of 154 skeleton warriors and 72 skeleton mages, truly a powerful army.
The loss of 16 skeleton warriors and 28 fire skeleton mages being ineffective slightly impacted total combat power.
Lin Moyu had adjusted his mindset by now.
As dungeon levels and difficulty increased, skeleton losses were inevitable.
Especially since he was always soloing dungeons above his level, this was even harder to avoid.
Taking a deep breath, the battle began.
The skeleton warriors turned into balls of fire, charging to the Lava Giant’s feet. Fearlessly they climbed up, ignoring the lava flowing over its body.
They all unleashed their skills.
The skeleton mages’ spell attacks crashed down like an avalanche.
Lin Moyu wasn’t idle either.
He started with Slow Curse.
Then used Soul Flame non-stop.
He used every skill he could. There was no choice, he was racing against time.
The Lava Giant was cursed, its speed clearly slowing.
But it didn’t attack with its hands like the previous Gardener Giant.
The Death Fire Line from its eye never stopped.
Death Fire Line was very powerful, able to cause significant damage to skeleton warriors.
At the same time, it opened its mouth, lava churning inside.
Skill: Lava Ejection!
Rolling lava sprayed from its huge mouth, turning the sky fiery red. It felt like lava would submerge the entire dungeon.
The ejected lava rained down like a storm.
The ground rumbled, the scene magnificent, triggering a series of violent explosions.
The skill had a knockback effect, blasting away many skeleton warriors.
Only the skeleton warriors clinging to its body held on tightly, enduring the lava burns, constantly attacking it.
Lin Moyu didn’t know how much health the Lava Giant had. All he could do now was speed up, attacking non-stop.
His will was also transmitted to the skeletons.
The skeletons all sped up.
Those skeleton warriors that were blasted away fearlessly charged back.
Having learned from experience, they were smarter now.
They leapt up, jumping directly onto the Lava Giant’s body.
In the blink of an eye, the Lava Giant was covered in skeleton warriors.
The skeleton warriors’ attacks made the Lava Giant howl.
Lin Moyu’s Soul Flame also caused it unbearable pain.
The Death Fire Line stopped, and Lava Ejection also disappeared.
Lin Moyu sensed something was wrong.
The next second, the ground began shaking violently, like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
Lin Moyu lost his balance for a moment, nearly falling.
The Lava Giant’s entire body began glowing, lava flowing several times faster than before.
Boom!
Lava shot into the sky, exploding and raining down as a sea of fire.
Skill: Volcanic Eruption!
Countless volcanoes appeared underground, erupting continuously.
The ground was instantly filled with flames.
Where Lin Moyu stood was covered in lava.
The Bone Armor protected him from harm.
The skeleton mages also stood in lava, constantly taking damage.
Lin Moyu grew more anxious. At this rate, the first 20 skeleton mages summoned wouldn’t last.
Volcanoes kept erupting, the fire rain growing denser, as if about to engulf the entire dungeon.
Large amounts of fire rain fell on the Lava Giant, the violent shockwaves knocking off the skeleton warriors.
Though Slow Curse took effect, the Lava Giant didn’t use normal attacks at all.
It kept using skills to attack. Slow Curse couldn’t stop its skills.
The skeleton warriors constantly took massive damage while attacking it frantically.
The more anxious Lin Moyu became, the more desperately the skeletons fought.
Lin Moyu’s Soul Flame also attacked non-stop.
Both sides fell into a state of hard combat again.
Time passed second by second.
The skeleton mages were about to give out.
The first 20 skeleton mages summoned were covered in cracks, on the verge of destruction.
They could die at any moment.
But the Lava Giant also seemed to be nearing its limit.
It began to weaken.
Even the flames in its eye disappeared.
The lava flowing on its body became intermittent, revealing its black rock body.
The skeleton warriors’ blades fell on it, shattering the rocks.
Soul Flame caused it unbearable pain.
Finally, its body began to collapse.
Chunks of rock fell off.
"Die!"
Lin Moyu uttered in a low voice.
With a huge boom, the Lava Giant finally collapsed.
[Killed Lava Giant, experience...]
After the Lava Giant died, the exit from the dungeon appeared simultaneously.
Lin Moyu chose to leave the dungeon immediately, not even looking at the prompts.
