Zhang Yang and the others gathered at the Marin Salt Flats and headed for the Bavarian Castle. After more than two hours of travel, they finally arrived.
Even though this was Blos' lair, it could not change the fact that it was covered in salt. The city walls had long been corroded and mottled, giving off a sense of vicissitudes. Just from its appearance, it was impossible to tell how long this castle had existed.
Zhang Yang and the others were not the first group of players to arrive. There were already many players fighting some jellyfish-like monsters in the castle. These monsters had translucent skin and had no eyes, mouth, nose, hands, or feet. They did not even have bones. They moved completely by wriggling their bodies.
[Corrupted Beast] (Elite, Elemental Creature)
Level: 190
Health Points: 9,500,000
Armor: 12110
Melee Attack Power: 86871 - 126871
Skills:
[Water Absorption]: Extracts water from the target's body, causing the target to lose 100,000 Health Points.
[Salt Crystal Spray]: Excretes salt crystals and seals the target, causing the target to be unable to move for 3 seconds.
Note: Monsters from the Void were summoned here by Blos' ancestors. They live on water, and the salt crystals they excrete can weather everything. In the vast universe, they have turned one planet after another into a land of death.
As soon as Zhang Yang and the others approached the castle, they were forced to land. Although they were not unmounted, it was obvious that the system did not allow players to fly into the castle directly. They had to fight their way in step by step!
No wonder the players were still fighting the small monsters instead of going straight for the boss. They still had to take off their underwear!
"Let's go!" Zhang Yang said.
Because Blos was most likely a world-class boss, they needed all the players to fight together. As for the boss, they would have to fight together later! Therefore, the players present were very obedient and did not exchange fire. They each chose a direction to advance in. After all, this castle was very big.
Not long after Zhang Yang and the others joined the battle, other teams arrived one after another, including top guilds such as Beauties, Hell Clan, Barbarian Realm, and Dark Palace. Of course, there were also some wandering players who formed temporary teams because their guilds weren't strong enough or didn't have a guild at all.
There were quite a few players who had reached Level 180. By Zhang Yang's estimation, there were at least 10,000 of them. This was to be expected. After all, Zhang Yang had already reached Level 184, and Han Ying Xue and the others had reached Level 182. There was no shortage of leveling madmen in the eight servers.
There were many Corrosive Beasts in the castle, but at the end of the day, Elite monsters were only Elite monsters. Most of the Level 180 players here were core members of the various top Guilds. Their combat power was incredibly high, and they could easily overwhelm Elite monsters.
However, there were so many monsters that they could be continuously replenished. After fighting for two to three hours, the Corrupted Beasts finally stopped respawning. They were slowly devoured until they were completely annihilated.
"Foolish fellow, how dare you barge into my territory and behave atrociously!" With an angry roar, a figure suddenly flew out from one of the tall buildings in the castle. It was a middle-aged man wearing a wizard robe. He held a crimson magic staff in his hand, and his face was full of arrogance.
"Haha, since you've come, don't even think about going back alive!" The middle-aged man laughed loudly. He waved the magic staff in his hand, and countless black rays of light immediately shot towards the players.
A series of damage numbers jumped up. Each hit dealt at least 300,000 damage. The Magicians and Priests who had less Health Points lost at least half of their Health Points!
[Bloose the Ambitious] (Sky Holy Tier Leader, Humanoid)
Level: 200
Health Points: 10,000,000
Armor: 32470
Magic Attack Power: 152165 - 252165
Skills:
[Shadow Arrow]: Deals 200% of Magic Attack Power as Shadow damage to the target. Instant Cast. Range: 1000 meters. Cooldown Time: 2 seconds.
[Soul Sting]: Burns the soul, dealing 500,000 Chaos Damage to all targets within 1000 meters.
[Shadow Arrow Dance]: Deals 300,000 Shadow Damage to all targets within 1000 meters.
[Soul Bomb]: When players are more than 1000 meters away from Bloose, their souls will immediately explode and they will die. Range: 1000 meters.
[Life's Nourishment]: Recovers 1% Health Points every 30 seconds. The amount of recovery is not affected by any effects.
Note: The Bloose family has multiplied for countless years and has cultivated a large number of Corrupted Beasts. Their ambition to rule the world can no longer be contained.
At this time, the players realized that they could fly into the sky. Since the boss had already appeared, there was no longer any need to restrict the players. The reason why the players were not allowed to fly was because they did not want the players to fight the boss too early.
"Soul Sting?" Zhang Yang exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't the Golden Sword in his bank the perfect counter to this skill?
"Haha, we're rich!" Everyone remembered the useless item that Zhang Yang had obtained a few days ago. They did not expect it to come in handy after more than a month!
"I'll go back and get the Golden Sword. You guys wait here!" Zhang Yang immediately used the Teleportation Talisman to return to Sauron Castle, then took the Teleportation Circle back to the main city. He went to the bank to get the Golden Sword, then used the Yearning Talisman to go there.
The whole process only took five minutes. It was clear that the Yearning Talisman was quite useful. It would not be useless just because the players had leveled up.
The other parties had already started fighting the boss. After so much time, everyone knew the cooldown time of the boss' two area of effect skills: Soul Sting had a cooldown time of five seconds, and Shadow Arrow Dance had a cooldown time of six seconds. In other words, the boss dealt 150,000 damage per second to every player!
Even Holy Paladins who were good at healing alone could not afford to lose so much Health Points — unless they activated Legacy Transformation! However, even if they activated Legacy Transformation, they would only be able to double the amount of Health Points they received. It was possible to heal a single person, but it was impossible to heal a group of people!
Under the boss' bombardment, many players who activated Legacy Transformation could not withstand it and began to die one after another.
Due to the existence of the Soul Bomb, as soon as they entered within 1,000 meters of the boss, they would automatically die. Then, they could only fight and could not retreat! If they retreated, they would die!
Although there was no Air Wall around the castle, they could revive and corpse run infinitely. However, once they died, they would not be able to use Legacy Transformation. Without the high Health Points provided by Legacy Transformation, how could they withstand the boss' violent attacks?
Not long after, most of the players who entered the boss' battle were dead. Meanwhile, the boss' Health Points were almost full due to the recovery of Life Nourishment!
How were they going to fight this?
Without Legacy Transformation, even if they revived with full Health Points, they would need at least 10 seconds to fly from 1,000 meters to the boss! That would be 1.5 million Health Points. Without the support of Legacy Transformation, they would die before they could even reach the boss. They would not even be able to cause a single bit of damage!
If the boss was said to be fought with a sea of people, they had to at least be able to do so! In a situation like this, no matter how they tried, it would be a waste of time!
As expected of a Heavenly Sage boss, there was no way to deal with it!
When they were fighting Ankhs, they still had the main city's Heavenly Sage boss to act as a tank and the main damage output. But what should they do now?
Zhang Yang did not attack immediately. He wanted to use up most of the people's Legacy Transformation before he could calmly fight the boss! As mentioned before, people without Legacy Transformation would not be able to get close to the boss. In that case, no one was qualified to fight with them for the boss.
Under the boss' frenzied slaughter, almost 90% of the players died at least once. When they died, most of them had their Legacy Transformation activated. There was no way out, no way out. They were all beaten to death by the boss. There was no way for them to escape.
Currently, only the top guilds such as Palace of Darkness, Infernal Clan, and Barbarian Realm had not made a move. They had been retreating two to three kilometers away, thinking of countermeasures. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they thought, without the special effect of the Golden Sword, there was no way for the current players to deal with Bloch.
This Golden Sword quest was not unique. In other words, as long as everyone completed this quest, every party would be able to obtain it. However, the system did not notify them beforehand. Who knew that these broken swords would be able to counter the boss' most powerful AOE skill after being reforged!
One hour, two hours, three hours … After several suicidal attacks, many parties announced that they had given up on killing the boss. One after another, many parties left. In their opinion, Bloch was absolutely undefeatable at the current stage. No matter what, a large number of players had to gather a full set of Ground Equipment to have any hope of killing the boss.
The fewer people there were, the less likely it was to kill a world-class boss. Finally, the guilds including the Infernal Clan and Barbarian Realm retreated one after another. It was not worth wasting time here. If that was the case, it was better to explore the death mode of the Undead and gather a full set of Ground Equipment as soon as possible.
After the other parties retreated one by one, Zhang Yang laughed and said, "It's our turn to perform!"
"Heh heh!" Everyone in the team laughed.
Zhang Yang activated the special effect of the Golden Sword. At the same time, he activated Legacy Transformation. Without exception, the Phoenix Pet and Fei Ling transformed and flew toward the boss.
The others in the party also activated Legacy Transformation. Legacy Transformation above Grade A could fly independently. The others quickly approached the boss on their flying mounts.
Because all the players around the boss had died, Bloch had long since left combat and was now full of HP. Seeing Zhang Yang approaching, Bross fired a Shadow Arrow from a kilometer away. A second later, he followed up with a Soul Stabbing Pain, shooting out countless rays of black light. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
