It had been proven countless times that the Evil Ghost's Enmity skill was absolutely outstanding when facing a violent Boss with low Spiritual Power. The only downside was the long cooldown time of the Enmity skill. For example, in this trial space, if he used Enmity here, he would not be able to use it again until he cleared the level.
However, according to experience, the three Bosses in a trial dungeon generally had different specialties. If a strength-type Boss appeared here, the probability of a strength-type Boss appearing later was relatively low.
Although the boss in front of them was only level 5, under the buff of extremely hard difficulty, its strength was as high as 69 points. It was probably the highest among the intermediate bosses. Only a high level strength-type boss would be able to suppress it. Therefore, it was not a loss to give up the Evil Ghost's skill.
The Evil Ghost raised its hand and used the Enmity skill. It began to continuously drain Akhenna King's Spiritual Power.
Akhenna King did not have much battle intelligence. He also did not know that the Evil Ghost was immune to 99% of physical attacks. The uncomfortable feeling of having his Mana drained made him quickly lock onto his target. He took large strides towards the Evil Ghost and blasted out an Earth Shattering Slam.
Bai Xiaowen made the Evil Ghost maintain its Mana draining and controlled the other summoned creatures to leave the Evil Ghost's surroundings in advance. He knew that Akhenna King's first target was the Evil Ghost. As long as the Evil Ghost was within attack range, Akhenna King would attack according to the original plan.
This was taking advantage of the trial dungeon Bosses' low battle intelligence. If it was a Spirit World Boss, seeing this strange scene, it might think more.
Boom!
The giant hammer smashed down, and the cone-shaped area in front of Akhenna King splashed mud and stone!
However, the Evil Ghost was like a shadow and was not affected at all. Bai Xiaowen could even see a piece of mud and stone that was sent flying pass through its body as if it had passed through air.
The skill had failed!
Akhenna King did not give up on his target. Instead, he aimed at the Evil Ghost and swung his giant hammer. The seemingly ferocious hammer strikes merely streaked through the air and were of no use at all.
Bai Xiaowen attacked from a distance and slowly depleted Akhenna King's HP. After a few more seconds, Arkenna finally ran out of mental energy and fell into a coma.
Originally, with his 19 points of Spirit, he wouldn't have been drained by the Evil Ghost's Resentment. However, he had used a skill and expended a lot of mental energy. Naturally, it was not enough to support the Grudge Absorption.
Next, Bai Xiaowen commanded his summoned creatures to surround Akhenaoh and beat him up. Even though the enemy had a godly skill like War Roar that could dispel crowd control and counter crowd control, he was unable to use it when his Mental Strength was lower than 2 points.
After waking up from his coma, Akhenna King was unable to cause any trouble. If he could only use normal hammering, the Butcher could use his flesh and blood to withstand his damage.
With a rumble, Arkena's majestic body fell to the ground. Bai Xiaowen led the summoned creatures towards the second ancient city.
The second ancient city's Elite minions were called Morpheus's Guards. They were also Level 5 Elites, but they were rare and had special Vitality. Their skills were mainly Slow, Blind, and Taunt effects.
These guards already had more than 30 points of Vitality, and with the buff of Morpheus' Tenacity Aura, their Vitality increased by 10 points and their HP increased by 100 points! This was 40 points of Vitality and 500 HP …
Even though the guards' attack power was not high, their various abnormal statuses and negative effects were still very disgusting.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen had a large number of summoned creatures. With Bai Xiaowen's control, the negative effects such as Blindness and other negative effects were basically negligible. They pushed their way through, spending twice the time compared to the first ancient city. However, they still managed to reach the ancient city's minaret.
"Guards! Where are my guards? "
The door at the lower level of the minaret opened, and Morpheus's fat body squeezed out. He waved his one-handed hammer and heavy shield as he shouted.
Needless to say, this was a tank-type boss.
[Morpheus King (Boss Level 5)/Morpheus' Tenacity Aura]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Class: Heavy Shield Guard Commander]
[Attributes: Strength 28, Agility 19, Vitality 45, Spirit 21]
[Skill 1: Defensive Stance: Morpheus King raises his heavy shield to increase the shield's blocking efficiency and reduce all Physical Damage from the front by 50%. While in Defensive Stance, Morpheus King cannot use other skills.]
[Skill 2: Skull Smash: Omitted]
[Skill 3: Heavy Shield Swipe: Morpheus King swings his heavy shield to deal Moderate Physical Damage to the main target and Light Damage to other targets in front of him.]
[Skill 4: Rolling Charge: Morpheus King spins at high speed and charges forward, dealing Moderate Physical Damage to all targets in front of him. Targets smaller than Morpheus King will be sent flying.]
Bai Xiaowen rarely encountered BOSSes that specialized in Vitality. This Morpheus King was obviously a tank in the boss world. He was the type of boss that would disgust you if he could not defeat you.
The buff, Morpheus King's Tenacity Aura, increased his Vitality by 20 points and 200 extra Health Points. Together with his original 45 points of Vitality, he now had a total of 850 Health Points! Moreover, a high Vitality gave him high Armor, and his skills could reduce damage.
"Go." Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and ordered his summoned creatures to charge forward.
Morpheus King's eyes flashed fiercely. He got into a horse stance and raised his heavy shield on his left arm, activating Defensive Stance.
This was a skill that would remain in effect once it was activated, unless Morpheus King canceled Defensive Stance.
Bai Xiaowen had already come up with a plan after observing the situation. In front of King Morpheus, he only left the Butcher to stall for time. The other summoned creatures circled behind Morpheus King and attacked. This way, Morpheus King's 50% damage reduction was useless.
Morpheus King roared and turned around, trying to fight the summoned creatures. However, Bai Xiaowen also controlled his summoned creatures to circle around and attack Morpheus King. All the summoned creatures moved in unison and did not lose their rhythm. This was the advantage of Bai Xiaowen's command.
Realizing that his damage reduction was useless and that he couldn't use any skills to counterattack, Morpheus King angrily canceled his defensive stance and stood up straight. He then used Skull Breaker to smash the Butcher's head with his hammer. The Butcher's movement speed was greatly reduced.
Morpheus King turned around again and faced the summoned creatures. He roared and swung his shield. Shield Strike!
This time, the summoned creatures could not circle around because Butcher's speed was greatly reduced. He could not keep up with the team! If the other summoned creatures circled around, they would definitely hit Butcher.
With Bai Xiaowen's mind control, Rage Claw leaped up and took the initiative to slam into that ferocious-looking barbed shield! A wolf howl was heard and Wrath Claw lost a quarter of its Health Points. The other summoned creatures also took some damage.
However, this also triggered Wrath Claw's Blood Rage. Morpheus King's body glowed red as he swung his claws. That was a sign that he had been hit by a critical hit.
Morpheus King's Health Points dropped rapidly. It did not take long for it to fall below 40%.
"Die, all of you!"
The Morpheus King shouted another line as he curled his body into a ball. Using his shield as a guide, he began to roll like a giant meatball! This guy was over two meters tall, fat and strong. When he rolled, he looked like a war chariot, full of momentum.
The Shadow Assassin, who bore the brunt of the attack, was sent flying. Then, the two Skeleton Sword-Shieldbearers were sent flying. Morpheus King's meatball chariot broke out of the encirclement and drifted not far away. He then turned around and continued to charge.
"He's using it as an DPS skill … Is he trying to get away with it?"
Bai Xiaowen mumbled. He waved his hand and Butcher took two steps forward, blocking Morpheus King's path like a wall.
Bam!
Morpheus King seemed to have hit a mountain. Butcher's body swayed slightly. He then raised his cleaver and slashed down viciously.
This [Charge] skill could only send enemies smaller in size flying.
Morpheus King was tall and strong, but he was still a humanoid. Butcher was an evolved form of a Stitched Monster. He was no longer human. Compared to Morpheus King, Butcher was more than one size bigger.
Morpheus King stopped.
Wrath Claw was the first to pounce, followed by Bai Xiaowen's continuous attacks and the summoned creatures. In the end, the meatball fell.
Bai Xiaowen exhaled softly.
"The difficulty of this dungeon is quite high. The seniors before me, such as the tank-type Ling Feng, were able to clear the dungeon in 60 minutes … It is indeed not easy."
Bai Xiaowen's attitude towards the trial dungeon was to clear it casually. As long as he could complete it 40% of the time and get the three treasure chests, he would be fine. He did not prepare much before entering the dungeon.
As for his seniors before him, they had all gone through more than one challenge. After accumulating sufficient experience, they had also prepared targeted items and equipment. They were racing against time to compress the time to 60 minutes.
Take the advancement route for example. After clearing it a few times, they would have a clearer understanding of the patrol route and time axis of the monsters. They would find that some of the monsters could be avoided, saving a lot of time. Bai Xiaowen went all the way.
In the third ancient city, the guardian boss was called "Queen Ayi". The elite minions in the city were all women wearing linen robes, headscarves and veils. They were called "Queen Ayi's Maids".
The maids were psychic-type creatures. This meant that Queen Ayi was also a psychic-type boss.
Against psychic-type creatures, Bai Xiaowen's Skeleton Sword and Shield was invincible. "I heard you want to channel?" He used [Shield Bash] …
The Skeleton Sword and Shield's Strength was not low. After two enhancements of + 2 to all attributes, and with the 20% bonus from Bai Xiaowen's Psychic Tutor, and the Spirit bonus, its Strength was as high as 21 points. It could interrupt the channeling of the Level 5 Elite maids.
Although the maids had a buff called "Ayi Queen's Guidance", which increased their HP by 100 points in addition to Spirit by 10 points, it was like putting a layer of paper on an egg. It still couldn't change the fact that they were fragile.
Without much effort, Bai Xiaowen commanded the army of summoned creatures to attack Queen Ayi.
"Ignorant lowly people!"
Queen Ayi shouted out her lines as usual, and then entered the battle … Bai Xiaowen also used [Insight].
[Queen Ayi (Leader Level 5)/Queen Ayi's Wisdom]
[Race: Humanoid/Human]
[Class: Sandstorm Mage Commander]
[Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 19, Constitution 33, Spirit 43]
[Skill 1: Quicksand Spear: Congeals a sand spear to pierce the enemy. The sand spear will deal moderate physical and magic damage to the enemies in its path. For every enemy it pierces, the subsequent damage will be reduced by 20%.]
[Skill 2: Sand Coffin: Summon quicksand under the target's feet, immobilizing the target and causing continuous crushing damage.]
[Skill 3: Sand Puppet: Summon a sand puppet to fight for you. The sand puppet has self-destruct and slow down skills. Queen Ayi can switch positions with the sand puppet.]
[Skill 4: Sandstorm: Queen Ayi summons a large sandstorm with herself as the center. All enemies within 500 meters will suffer continuous magic damage and their speed will be reduced by 50%. This skill requires continuous channeling and will constantly consume Spirit.]
"Crowd control, displacement, pets, and a large AOE … What a standard mage template."
Bai Xiaowen gently rubbed his left eye and shook his head. "If I didn't know about your skills, I might have been at a disadvantage … But now …"
Undeniably, as the final boss, the Ayi Queen's combat intelligence was much higher than that of the first stage's Arkenawn. Facing the siege of the summoned creatures, the first thing she did was to find Bai Xiaowen, the summoner himself, and a sand spear flew towards him.
Although Bai Xiaowen tried to move, he still could not avoid the spear's arc and was hit. He felt numb where he was hit. The sand seemed to be sucking the blood from his body. It seemed that the physical and magic damage of this skill was quite deadly.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen would not be passive. The summoned creatures immediately rushed over. The one at the front was the Skeleton Warrior.
Queen Ayi pointed her staff diagonally. The quicksand on the ground rolled and a yellow sand puppet the height of a person quickly formed. The yellow sand puppet slapped the Skeleton Warrior, causing it to enter a state of sluggishness. It had no choice but to stop and face the yellow sand puppet head-on.
However, no matter how strong the yellow sand puppet was, the other summoned creatures still went past it and rushed towards Queen Ayi.
Wrath Claw howled to the sky. A layer of bloody light enveloped everyone, increasing their attack power and attack speed by 20%!
There was no need to hold back in the last stage. Although Bai Xiaowen knew that he would definitely break the record and did not care about the time, it was still better to finish the battle early.
The first wave of attacks took out a quarter of Queen Ayi's HP! Blood spurted out from Queen Ayi's body like specks of bloody plum blossoms.
Queen Ayi screamed and her body suddenly turned into sand. The next second, she appeared where the yellow sand puppet was. The Yellow Sand Puppet appeared in the Ayi Queen's position among the summoned creatures!
Then, the yellow sand puppet exploded, and the flying sand slowed down the summoned creatures.
