"Let's look for it!"
The five of them spread out and began to search for the treasure at the bottom of the room. There should be some sort of mechanism that could lead them to the next floor.
"Haha! I found it! " Wei Yan Er said happily. In front of her was a huge stone statue. On the base of the statue, there was a piece of jade that was glowing faintly. In the game, items that could 'interact' with players would have a notification. For example, herbs and ores would glow faintly to inform players that they could be harvested.
"Little brat, don't touch it!" Zhang Yang quickly ran over to the statue. Han Ying Xue and the rest of the ladies also gathered around. Who knows if a big boss would appear if they activated the statue.
When Zhang Yang and the rest of the party had arrived at her side, Wei Yan Er reached out her hand and pressed on the jade stone. Instantly, the sound of the stone breaking could be heard. Boom! The stone statue suddenly stretched out one of its gigantic hands!
Han Ying Xue and the ladies were so shocked that their faces turned pale. Wei Yan Er even screamed, "It's a ghost! A moving corpse!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The pebbles on the statue began to shatter into pieces. It was as if it was raining pebbles. Pieces of pebbles the size of fists rained down from the top of the statue, smashing onto Zhang Yang and the rest of the party. The five of them were thrown into chaos.
The statue came to life and took a step forward. Boom! The entire floor of the treasure room trembled violently. Zhang Yang and the rest of the party staggered around like drunkards. Boom! Boom! Boom! The statue's movements were getting more and more agile. As the rocks on its body continued to fall off, the statue revealed its golden armor. There was a huge axe on its back.
[Fourth Prince Ludovic] (Violet-Platinum, Spectre)
Level: 100
HP: 10,000,000
Defense: 2,900
"... a Level 100 monster!" Zhang Yang muttered and frowned slightly.
Even though the level 95 and 98 Purple Gold Rank bosses in the past weren't much lower than Ludovic's, it was because every ten levels in 'God's Miracle' would increase the level of the equipment. Therefore, this level 100 boss was a level higher than the level 90 + boss.
Just by looking at his Defense, one would know that a Violet-Platinum boss with 90 + Defense would have 2,600 Defense points. However, Ludovic had an extra 300 Defense points!
It was no wonder why that party had failed to clear the dungeon in his previous life. The monsters and bosses here were simply too powerful. If not for the level and time restrictions, they would have been able to clear the dungeon easily. But now, the rule was that players could only complete the quest if they were below Level 100. Moreover, the three attempts would add up to a total of 36 hours of game time to complete the quest. That made it extremely difficult!
Even the Level 90 Frost Palace Dungeon had taken players one or two months to clear. Meanwhile, the Treasure Room, which could be considered a Level 100 Dungeon, only gave players 36 hours to clear it.
Ludovic's dark eye sockets suddenly lit up with two balls of green undead evil fire, which meant that he had completely come back to life! He coldly glanced at Zhang Yang and his gang and said, "The remnants of the Seven Traitors? Kill without mercy! "
He let out a roar and took out the huge axe from his back. Then he swung it with both hands and swung it towards Zhang Yang and his gang.
Zhang Yang quickly blocked the attack and raised the shield in his left hand up high. 'Clang!' The axe collided with the shield heavily. Ludovic's attack was instantly nullified. However, Zhang Yang was also forced to slide to the right. He barely managed to stabilize himself. Then, he felt something sweet in his throat. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Wah! Noob tank! You're already anemic! If you keep vomiting, you'll die young!" Wei Yan Er giggled.
"Little brat!" Zhang Yang let out a soft cry and quickly ran back. He swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] and charged towards Ludovic.
"In front of the invincible Prince of Valor, all resistance is futile!" Ludovic said arrogantly. Then, he kicked his right leg at an extremely fast speed. It landed right on Zhang Yang's chest. An irresistible force surged through Ludovic. Zhang Yang was immediately repelled away like a missile.
After receiving a heavy blow to his chest, he spat out another mouthful of blood!
{Charge}!
Zhang Yang's body that was kicked away flew back to Ludovic and crashed into him. He swung his [Sword of Purging Devourer] and finally landed a hit on the armor of the boss. Sparks flew and a damage value of '-3,182' floated up above Ludovic's body.
Ludovic was enraged. He swung his axe at Zhang Yang again and viciously chopped at him.
-15238!
Bzzt! Zhang Yang received such a heavy blow that his Rage bar was instantly filled up. He quickly used {Cripple Defense} on the boss. Naturally, 5 stacks of {Cripple Defense} were the priority when fighting against such a high Defense boss. They would first reduce the Defense of the boss by 50% to increase the damage output of the party.
After Zhang Yang stabilized the aggro, Sun Xin Yu and the rest of the party began to attack as well.
"A bunch of pests! I can kill you all with just a few punches and kicks!" Ludovic said arrogantly. He swung the axe in his hand in a circle. A cold light surged out from the axe and caused damage to Zhang Yang, Sun Xin Yu and Wei Yan Er.
'Ding! Ludovic has used {Tornado Cleave}, causing 25,000 physical damage to all targets within the melee range! '
Zhang Yang had thick Defense, so he was fine. However, both Wei Yan Er and Sun Xin Yu had received over 20,000 damage. Even though both of them were equipped with a few Level 90 Violet-Platinum Tier equipment and had over 50,000 HP, they had still lost almost half of their HP bar. The two ladies were so scared that they quickly retreated out of the boss's melee range. While they were bandaging their wounds, Han Ying Xue was healing them.
"Hahaha! Now you know how powerful I am! Tremble before my absolute power! " Ludovic was very talkative. After he swung his axe at Zhang Yang, he suddenly kicked at Zhang Yang's chest.
Zhang Yang humphed coldly and twisted his body like a swimming fish. He actually dodged the kick of the boss!
Han Ying Xue and the rest of the ladies were surprised. Daffodil Daydream asked, "Guildmaster, how did you dodge the attack of the boss?" Logically speaking, the attack speed of the boss was too fast. Unless players had special skills, it was impossible for players to dodge the attack by moving around.
"That kick did not cause any damage, so it was not considered as one of the boss' attacks. So, it was easy to dodge it!" Zhang Yang explained.
Although he was kicked by the boss to the point where he vomited blood, it was just a visual effect. It did not cause any real damage to him. However, the real problem was the knockback effect of the kick. It could disrupt Zhang Yang's counterattack!
Actually, this was not something new. Ever since the first system update added the Strength Collision Judgement, this effect had been around. Zhang Yang and the gang had fought many bosses and monsters before. As long as the monsters had higher Strength than the players, they would cause a knockback effect when they hit them.
However, when it came to Ludovic, the boss had used the effect on his kick! However, because it was not a real attack, the speed of the kick was not so fast that the players could not dodge it.
After entering the Chaos Realm, battles like this had become a common occurrence. Since Zhang Yang was reborn, he had not fought a boss like this for a whole year. That was why he was kicked by the boss at the beginning. However, when he reacted, the boss would not be able to do it again.
Actually, this kind of battle style was also suitable for players. A few days ago, when Zhang Yang fought Musashi Ousama, he would often smack his shield on his opponent's face. Although it could not cause any damage, it could greatly interfere with the opponent's vision. Of course, Zhang Yang did that to humiliate Musashi Ousama.
However, in order to smack his opponent away, one would need to have a much higher Strength value than the opponent! With Zhang Yang's current equipment, if he were to fight a player with a full set of Yellow-Gold equipment, he would be able to knock his opponent away with just a shield and a kick!
In Zhang Yang's previous life, this was called 'Support Attack'. For this reason, many players had come up with many different ways to use this skill. At that time, the most classic example was a certain unknown player who used a blank dagger from the Beginner's Village to 'support attack' to toy with an A rank expert of the Professional League to death!
After that battle, 'Support Attack' had officially become a compulsory course for every professional player. Zhang Yang's previous use of footwork and the way he controlled his pet were actually all in the category of 'Support Attack'.
"Die, you stinking bugs!" Ludovic's face was filled with anger. He suddenly swung his axe in a circle. Shadows of the axe suddenly surged out from his body and spread out in all directions.
'Ding! Ludovic has used [Chaos Axe]. Causes 20,000 physical damage to all targets in every second. Lasts for 10 seconds! '
"Come over here!" Zhang Yang quickly shouted and activated his {Vanguard's Aggression}. A light blue barrier was formed with him as the center, spreading out about 3 meters in all directions.
Each wave of [Chaos Axe] dealt 20,000 damage. There were 10 waves in total. Who would dare to take it head-on?
The attacks of the axes were boundless, and the walls of the treasure room were immediately filled with sharp short axes. Ding ding dang dang dang sounds could be heard continuously!
Zhang Yang frowned. He could use {Vanguard's Aggression} for this wave of attack. He could use {Rearm} for the next wave. But what about the third wave? The boss still had 92% HP. This skill should be triggered according to the battle duration. Then, before Ludovic dies, he would definitely use more than 3 [Chaos Axe]!
The limit of this treasure room was a maximum of 5 players. Then, there would definitely be a way to deal with the boss!
His eyes wandered, and when he saw a huge pillar on the left, he finally showed a look of realization!
"I'll pull the boss to the pillar on the left. When the boss uses {Chaos Axe Slash} again, we'll all hide behind the pillar!" Zhang Yang said. When the boss uses {Chaos Axe Slash}, he would need to stand on the same spot to guide the boss. Therefore, there was no need to worry about being chased by the boss behind the pillar.
10 seconds later, Ludovic once again swung his axe at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang slowly moved to the left side of the pillar. The pillar had a diameter of more than 3 meters. It would definitely allow Ludovic to evade the axe attack. Zhang Yang started to move slowly and pulled Ludovic to the left side of the pillar.
However, Ludovic was not a pushover either. He kept on using his {Eighteen Kicks}. If it were not for Zhang Yang's experience in his previous life, he would have been beaten to a pulp by Ludovic's attacks. He would have been rolling around on the ground!
Therefore, even though the pillar was near the boss, the boss would not let the players get away so easily! Ludovic's {Chaos Axe Slash} did not have a fixed direction. Sometimes, it would come from the left, and sometimes it would come from the front.
If it were another tank, they would definitely be kicked around by Ludovic. It would be impossible for them to stay near the pillar! Just like that, after a few rounds of the boss' {Chaos Axe Slash}, the whole world would be completely peaceful!
The difficulty of this boss was how to keep the party near the pillar so that they could dodge the {Chaos Axe Slash} at the first moment! After solving this problem, it would be a normal tank tanking, healers healing, and damage output.
"You ignorant fool!" Ludovic roared and kicked Zhang Yang again. "Hahaha!
"Don't think that you're the only one who knows how to do this!" Zhang Yang also roared and dodged the boss' {Chaos Axe Slash} with his nimble footwork. He raised his left hand and smashed his {Titan Wall} onto Ludovic's helmet.
Clang!
Ludovic's helmet was smashed off by Zhang Yang, revealing his half-decayed head. The left side of his face and half of his hair had been torn off by the helmet, flying off into the distance. Ludovic's head was blown away by the impact of the helmet.
Unfortunately, if Zhang Yang's Strength was higher than the boss, he could have smashed Ludovic's face with his {Chaos Axe Slash}!
"Ugly freak!" Wei Yan Er shuddered.
"Ugly freak?" Ludovic repeated the word. Suddenly, he was enraged and roared, "I am the most handsome man in the world! You ignorant woman, are you blind?"
"Ugly freak! Ugly freak! "Wei Yan Er was not afraid at all. She immediately said.
"I am the most handsome man, the most handsome man in the world!" Ludovic was filled with grief and anger. He swung his axe even more fiercely!
'Ding! Ludovic has unleashed {Chaos Axe Slash}. Causes 20,000 physical damage to all targets in every second. Lasts for 10 seconds! '
Amidst the flying axes, the five of them hurriedly hid behind the pillars.
"Little brat, don't provoke a lunatic. It's very dangerous!" Zhang Yang smiled and said to Wei Yan Er while bandaging himself.
"Oh ---" Wei Yan Er thought for a moment, "You mean, I can't provoke him in the future?"
... Who said that this little brat was not smart? She could scold people without saying a single word.
In order to reduce the pressure on Han Ying Xue, everyone started to bandage themselves. Compared to the Red Potion, the cost of the [Bandage] was almost negligible. Meanwhile, Zhang Yang's [Physician's Friend] title gave him an additional 100% First Aid effect!
The four ladies were very envious of Zhang Yang's Skill. Han Ying Xue was even more regretful. Back then, when Zhang Yang was completing the last step of the quest, she was the one who helped him to slay the boss. If she had known earlier, she would have helped him to complete the quest!
