The iron cage hanging above the Battle Arena was the size of a house. Although it had been around for a long time and was rusted, the divine runes engraved on its bars were still visible.
Due to these divine runes, an invisible energy constantly surrounded the iron cage.
As soon as Shifeng landed on the iron cage, he discovered that he couldn't use any Skills or Spells. His body also felt incredibly heavy as if it were filled with lead, making it extremely difficult for him to move.
What a powerful restriction. As Shifeng stood on the iron cage, he could feel a frightening pressure pressing down on his brain, causing his consciousness to blur. If a Tier 1 player were in his place, they would've most likely fainted by now.
Just as Shifeng was about to touch the iron door, a powerful force pushed Shifeng away. His body instantly transformed into a meteor as he crashed into the ground, shattering it.
"What's going on?"
"Don't we have a key?"
Feng Qianyu and Unyielding Heart were slightly surprised when they saw Shifeng descending from the iron cage.
In their opinion, Shifeng had only touched the iron door in an attempt to open it. However, the instant Shifeng touched the iron door, he felt as if he had been bombarded by a cannonball. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Shifeng stood up from the ground and shook his dizzy head. He then fell into deep thought as he looked at the iron cage.
Just now, he had lost 60,000 HP. If any other cloth-armor class or plate-armor class with low HP stood in his place, they would've long since died.
"Guild Leader, can't the key open this iron cage?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked curiously when he saw Shifeng's HP fall into the red zone.
"No, it should be that we're still missing something." Shifeng shook his head. He felt that he needed more than just the key to open the iron cage. "I think it's in the hands of the next Boss."
No one had mentioned the iron cage in the past, so he hadn't had any leads. However, based on the reward for challenging the Hell Mode Eclipse Throne for the first time, it wasn't surprising that the next Boss would possess the item needed to open the iron cage.
Shifeng recovered slightly and continued to lead the group forward.
The Eclipse Throne's castle was very large, and the Troll Hero was only a gatekeeper. Along the way, Shifeng commanded the team to slay the patrolling monsters. After nearly two hours, the team arrived at a small garden. Along the way, Shifeng had obtained five pieces of Level 55 Fine-Gold Equipment and one piece of Level 55 Dark-Gold Equipment. Since none of the pieces were Fire Resistance equipment, Shifeng held an internal party auction, and all six pieces of equipment were sold. The members of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion and Unyielding Soul were envious.
Even they didn't have a single piece of Level 55 Fine-Gold Equipment, much less Level 55 Dark-Gold Equipment.
"Guild Leader, there's a Boss up ahead!" Fire Dance, who was scouting the path in Stealth, suddenly shouted in the team chat.
Hearing Fire Dance's warning, everyone grew alert and began to carefully advance through the small garden. After walking for less than a minute, a paradise appeared before everyone's eyes.
However, in this small courtyard surrounded by green trees and gorgeous flowers, there was a huge wolf with a body of five to six meters. Its entire body was dark red, and it was sleeping soundly under a big tree, emitting a pressure that made one's heart palpitate.
[Corrosive Wolf King] (Demonic Beast, Mythic) Level 57 HP 400,000,000/400,000,000
"This Boss's aura is so powerful!"
"This Boss's corrosive aura is so dense. I can already feel my Stamina decreasing faster than before."
Everyone looked at the Corrosive Demon Wolf King, who was not far away, with serious expressions on their faces.
If it were a Boss like the Troll Hero, they wouldn't have to worry about it. However, a Boss like the Corrosive Wolf King was the most troublesome. It was as if the Boss had formed a Domain of its own, and it could inflict continuous damage or debuffs on nearby players. This would place a lot of pressure on the team's healers. If the team's healers couldn't keep up with the Boss's attacks, it would only be a matter of time before they wiped out the team.
"All MTs, split into groups of three and stand here. As for all melee classes, split into multiple groups and follow these MTs. Healers and ranged classes, follow the Boss throughout the battle. If there are no problems, start the battle!" Shi Feng instructed everyone in accordance with the standard battle strategy. He then had everyone take action.
Feng Qianyu and Unyielding Heart were rendered speechless. They wanted to say something, but when they recalled the Shifeng's ability to adapt, they held themselves back. Instead, they moved according to Shifeng's instructions.
From the start of the fight, Shifeng used Ring of Brilliance. However, he did not use World Projection. The Ring of Brilliance only cost 2,000 Magic Crystals, but World Projection cost 5,000 Magic Crystals. Meanwhile, the Corrosive Wolf King's Mana density was too low, which reduced the effectiveness of his Spells.
Following which, under Shifeng's command, the Corrosive Wolf King's HP rapidly decreased. Whenever an MT in one area was severely corroded, Shifeng would immediately switch to another MT's position. By constantly switching positions, the corroded players would have enough time to recover from the effects of the corrosion.
As for the healers, Shifeng wasn't worried at all. With Violet Cloud's help, he could use Holy Prayer and Life Domain, saving a lot of Mana for the healers.
In the end, less than half an hour later, the insufferably arrogant Corrosive Wolf King collapsed to the ground, dropping a pile of items. Among them, the Dark Corrosion Set's head and legs had dropped.
When facing the third Boss, the Corrosive Treant, Shifeng used the same strategy as before. He split up the MTs to deal with the Corrosive Treant's branches, while the melee classes opened up a path for the players using fire-type Spells and Skills. Among them, Zhao Yueru's Frostflame's Wrath and Shifeng's Flame Domain were extremely effective. The other players took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Corrosive Treant with fire-type Magic Scrolls. The battle ended in less than half an hour.
The Corrosive Treant also allowed Shifeng to obtain the Dark Corrosion Set's gloves and belt, five pieces of Level 55 Dark-Gold Fire-Resistance Equipment, and eight pieces of Level 55 Fine-Gold Fire-Resistance Equipment.
The monsters and Bosses they had killed along the way had increased everyone's EXP by roughly 20%. Their leveling speed was much faster than grinding in the outside world.
For a moment, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's and Unyielding Soul's members were at a loss for words. They had just entered a super-large-scale Hell Mode Team Dungeon, yet not only had they not died or lost any EXP, but their EXP had also increased even faster than grinding in the outside world. No one would believe them if they told others about this.
What terrified the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's and Unyielding Soul's members even more was that they had only used the usual strategy against the Bosses they had encountered along the way. Yet, these normally insufferably arrogant Mythic monsters had died one after another …
They simply could not understand. Since when had the usual strategy become so useful in super-large-scale Team Dungeons?
This was much easier than dealing with the Bosses of super-large-scale Team Dungeons.
However, among everyone present, only Feng Qianyu and Unyielding Heart understood what was going on.
In reality, it wasn't the usual strategy that had been effective. Rather, Ling Yi's MTs, healers, and DPS were simply too powerful. In addition, Shifeng had used the heaven-defying Ring of Gospel to occasionally weaken the Bosses and buff the team's Basic Attributes. Otherwise, every battle would either be a bitter struggle or a team-wipe.
Now, the Eclipse Throne had a total of four Bosses. Now, only the Final Boss remained. This situation made Feng Qianyu and Unyielding Heart feel as if they were dreaming.
Under Shifeng's command, the team quickly arrived at the throne room, where the Final Boss resided. This was also the top floor of the castle.
When the team arrived before the throne room, a young man in golden armor and carrying a greatsword that radiated a sacred light sat beside the closed doors.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this young NPC was actually a Level 60 Mythic NPC.
Just as everyone was wondering why an NPC would be here, Shifeng was stunned when he saw this young NPC.
"Why is he here?" Shifeng was shocked as he stared at this Mythic NPC.
Most likely, not a single player knew about this NPC. However, this NPC would be known as the Great Sword Saint in the future. Players would also call him the number one player below Gods.
However, compared to the title of number one player below Gods, this NPC was also known by everyone in God's Domain because of the weapon he wielded. It was also one of the Ten Great Legendary Weapons that were most commonly found throughout God's Domain.
