Desolate Land's dungeon was an abandoned castle. There were many winding corridors and forks. Teams that came here for the first time would often take the wrong path. Teams that came here for experience would intentionally take the wrong path to complete the dungeon. For a dungeon team whose goal was to set the record, there was naturally only one path that led straight to the final BOSS.
Even though Maple Tree's performance still had a few small flaws, they didn't make any major mistakes that would affect the overall situation. The battle went smoothly.
Stepping over the monsters and the corpses of the first and second BOSSes, the team finally reached the back garden of the ruined castle.
In this ruined castle, the back garden was the only thing that looked decent. And the one respectfully waiting for the five players here was the dungeon's final BOSS, Desolate Land's Ruler, Toya.
Even if they hadn't made any mistakes before, this final BOSS, Toya, was still a variable that could affect their success or failure.
In the end, it was because Toya, this BOSS, had a lot of skills. He was a multi-class monster.
Having more skills meant that there were more options to choose from. Under the AI's completely random judgement, Toya was one of the rare NPCs that didn't have a fixed way to kill him. Every time they fought with Toya, there would be a new experience. And killing Toya depended on luck. It depended on how the BOSS would perform on the spot.
But against this type of guy, at least they didn't need to discuss any tactics. What was tested here was the players' ability to adapt on the spot.
The five players didn't delay at all. As soon as they saw Toya, they immediately rushed up.
Everyone's arrangements were quite similar to when they first entered the dungeon.
Cleansing Mist and Maple Tree, the two long-ranged characters, entered the back garden and each went up a high platform. Cleansing Mist raised her cannon and fired an Anti-Tank Missile. She was incomparably quick in pulling monsters.
Amidst the smoke and gunfire, Toya cursed a few times in standard Mandarin before rushing out. He wore a scarlet leather jacket and leather pants. An iron chain hung from his waist. His hair was multicolored. This Toya didn't look like the ruler of Desolate Land. Instead, he looked like a rebellious youth.
After rushing out of the smoke, Toya's figure immediately trembled. He had used a Shadow Clone Technique. His fake body stayed behind to attract the attention of the players, while his real body flashed and appeared behind Cleansing Mist.
In fact, according to the system's interpretation of the skill "Shadow Clone Technique", the real purpose of this skill was to use the fake body to attract the enemy's attention while the real body assassinated one of them.
However, from a player's point of view, this was using teleportation to appear beside the target of his aggro. It was a ruthless move.
Cleansing Mist looked as if she didn't know, which made Maple Tree want to remind her anxiously. But before he could open his mouth, he heard the sound of gunfire. Lord Grim had already switched the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella to Gun Mode and fired a Gatling Gun at Toya.
Toya, who was about to attack Cleansing Mist, was immediately pinned to the ground by a barrage of bullets. At this moment, Cleansing Mist turned around and used a Launcher's knock-up skill "Pull". Her hand cannon knocked Toya off the high platform. Following afterwards, she raised her Heavy Machine Gun and fired wildly at the falling Toya.
Lord Grim's Gatling Gun also moved as Toya fell. The bullets from the two guns drew two diagonal lines as if they were pulling Toya towards the ground.
Tang Rou had already gotten used to the two's skillful cooperation, and she was already used to it. But Maple Tree, who hadn't seen it in yesterday's three dungeons, was dumbstruck. If he wasn't so surprised, as a long-ranged character, he would have also started firing at the same time.
Of course, in this type of situation where the target was moving at high speed, how accurate his aim was was still a question that needed to be discussed.
Han Yanrou and Baozi didn't need any prompting. They were already in position, and Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist's pincer fire just happened to send Toya into the space between the two. Tang Rou didn't wait for Toya to hit the ground. She had already used a Circle Swing. The Scarlet Moon Lance in Soft Mist's hand turned into a streak of crimson light, accurately stabbing into the falling Toya. Afterwards, she jumped up and threw Toya into the ground.
"Attack! Don't just stand there!" Ye Xiu reminded Maple Tree.
Maple Tree woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He immediately pulled out his gun and fired a skill at Toya.
Han Yanrou and Baozi attacked Toya and then immediately jumped away, dodging the Earth Shock Wave that most BOSSes knew.
After getting up, Toya leapt into the air and kicked towards Soft Mist. But before he could kick her, an energy ball just happened to fly in front of him. After colliding with Toya, it exploded and sent him back to the ground.
Cannons!
Only Su Mucheng's Launcher could use it. Cleansing Mist's Gunner condensed light and was already preparing the next skill, Laser Cannon. This time, Toya, who had been blasted back to the ground, reacted quickly and avoided the fall with a Quick Recover. After rolling, he directly used a Roundhouse Kick. This was a Sharpshooter skill. Soft Mist and Steamed Bun Invasion, who were chasing after him, weren't able to react in time. The two staggered from the kick.
However, this skill didn't force them to fall to the ground. With their mechanics, they were able to instantly stabilize themselves. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim rushed over at this moment. He pulled out his sword and used a Collapsing Mountain. Toya, who had just finished his Roundhouse Kick and was about to stand up, was instantly knocked back down. Cleansing Mist's Laser Cannon shot out at this moment and Toya was once again pinned to the ground.
Shockwave!
Lord Grim didn't retreat though. He pulled out his sword and blocked the shockwave with a Guard. As he slid backwards, a sword light flashed and he used a Sword Draw. Toya was hit once again.
Whether or not Sword Draw could knock down the opponent depended on the situation. This sword strike only made Toya stagger. Toya immediately jumped up and kicked out with the Striker skill, Whirlwind Kick.
Unfortunately, his legs were short and Lord Grim's spear was long. After the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a spear, he directly used a Circle Swing to throw Toya back to the ground.
After all, Tang Rou and Baozi's Invasion experience was shallow. Toya's skills were complex and were similar in nature to unspecialized characters. Even Team Micrograss's experienced pro players would hesitate when facing an unspecialized character due to Toya having too many skills. Even though Toya wasn't as exaggerated as an unspecialized character, it was enough for Tang Rou and Baozi's Invasion to be unable to react in time.
For example, that Roundhouse Kick from before had hit both of them.
But Ye Xiu was different. No matter how complex Toya's skills were, they couldn't escape the scope of Glory's skills. For Ye Xiu, every skill was familiar to him. His experience and judgment were on full display at this moment.
In addition, Lord Grim was an unspecialized character with even more skills. Even though Toya had many skills, Ye Xiu could always find a way to counter them. This was an advantage that normal classes didn't have. Normal classes all had their own styles. They had their strengths and weaknesses. For example, Launchers had high attack and had the longest range. However, they were a complete mess when it came to close combat. They had almost no skills. If they didn't think of a way to pull away, they would definitely die.
Unspecialized characters had skills from 24 classes. Even though they were all low-leveled, there were long-ranged and close-ranged skills. They all had different styles. In any situation, there would always be a suitable skill that could be used. Against Toya's complex display of skills, they weren't at a disadvantage at all.
Toya was being suppressed!
This was unimaginable for any dungeon team. Every time Toya's skills were used, everyone would be exhausted from running for their lives. The record for this instance dungeon would always depend on this fellow's mood.
But at this moment, in Ye Xiu's team, Toya was like a beast trapped in a cage. His usual sharp claws and fangs weren't effective at all.
However, in this battle, there was much less coordination. Tang Rou and Baozi's Invasion clearly couldn't keep up with Ye Xiu's tempo.
Toya still had many variations. However, Ye Xiu was able to keep up with his changes and could always restrain him. For the others, however, this battle had reached a more complicated level. They didn't have the experience and ability to make judgments. Naturally, they couldn't keep up and coordinate with each other. Tang Rou and Baozi's Invasion didn't seem to be any different from Maple Tree's awkwardness. They could only stupidly deal damage without stopping.
The only one who could coordinate with Lord Grim's attacks was Su Mucheng. Although her experience and judgment couldn't compare to Ye Xiu's, she was familiar with Ye Xiu.
"This person … … as expected, sometimes he doesn't go all out … …" Tang Rou sighed. She couldn't keep up with the pace. For her, it was quite frustrating. Yesterday, in the three dungeons, Ye Xiu didn't give off such an oppressive feeling. Everyone relied on their reactions to perform. However, today, Ye Xiu went all out, making them feel like they were watching a show.
At this moment, Tang Rou only had one question in her mind. When they had PKed her, did Ye Xiu use his full strength?
The battle didn't proceed in silence. Although Lord Grim and Toya's skills were very fast, most of the time, they didn't have time to say anything. However, when there was time to remind everyone, Ye Xiu would tell everyone to pay attention. However, there were very few such places.
"Pay attention, he's almost at Red Blood!!" For example, Ye Xiu was still reminding everyone with a serious expression.
However, no one reacted. So what if he's at Red Blood? Can't you deal with him?
In the end, Toya, who increased his attack speed after reaching Red Blood, didn't cause any trouble. He was still suppressed by Ye Xiu. From this point alone, it could be seen. Ye Xiu, who was suppressing Toya, clearly wasn't at his limit. Otherwise, how could he still increase his attack speed when Toya went Berserk? What was this guy's limit?
Tang Rou was a little confused. However, Baozi couldn't detect such details at all. From beginning to end, it was just yelling and shouting. When there was cooperation, he would cooperate. When there wasn't, he would act rashly. To him, no matter what, the game was very interesting.
