The appearance of the Soul Destroyer Todelya caused everyone to suck in a cold breath.
A Regional Lord was an existence that rivaled a World Boss. Not to mention, the Ruined Mountain Range's Regional Lord was most likely as strong as a World Boss in the outside world.
"So, this is why a forbidden land is so scary?" Mu Lingsha smiled bitterly.
She finally understood why the various superpowers' expert teams had been wiped out in the Ruined Mountain Range.
It would be a miracle if they made it out alive!
Now, not only had they lost over half of their team, but they also had to deal with a swarm of Soul Devourers. Although the Soul Devourers weren't particularly powerful, they couldn't exhibit their full combat power.
Although the Soul Devourers weren't particularly strong, their mental attacks were frighteningly powerful. Even after players broke free from the Soul Devourers' shackles, the mental attacks would still assault their minds, causing them to feel a stabbing pain. They couldn't perform many delicate movements, and their combat standards would fall by at least two tiers.
Void Realm experts could, at most, exhibit combat standards at the Refinement Realm. Domain Realm experts could, at most, exhibit combat standards at the Flowing Water Realm.
Meanwhile, the Soul Devourers' combat standards had reached the Trial Tower's sixth floor. They were definitely first-rate experts, not much weaker than Tier 3 experts.
Now that a Regional Lord had joined the fray, they had no chance of survival.
Only Lifeless Thorn, Solitary Nine, Yan Ya, and Cleansing Whistle remained relatively calm. They methodically rescued their teammates and killed the Soul Devourers.
"Nine, you, Lifeless Thorn, and Yan Ya, help me stall the Boss for 15 seconds!" Shifeng ordered after rescuing another player.
Upon hearing Shifeng's command, Illusory Words, Unyielding Heart, and the others felt as if they were hallucinating.
Were they still going to fight?
There were several hundred Soul Devourers and a Regional Lord. The only thing they needed to do now was run.
With Todelya's battle recovery, it could recover 2% of its HP every five seconds, which was 410,000,000 HP. In other words, Shi Feng would have to kill a Great Lord of the same level within five seconds. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to reduce Todelya's HP to below 98% …
Meanwhile, they only had a little over 30 players on their team right now. Among them, over a dozen were in a Weakened state and couldn't participate in the battle.
Including Todelya's Defense, which was a Superior Mythic, they could barely scratch the Boss's itch.
"Fifteen seconds?" Solitary Nine did a quick calculation and nodded. "No problem, but it's only fifteen seconds. I really can't hold on any longer."
It wasn't that he wasn't confident, but Todelya's mental attacks were simply too powerful. Even he found it hard to endure.
"It's fine. If you can't handle it, I'll do it!" Lifeless Thorn's eyes glowed with excitement as he watched Todelya approach.
Previously, killing monsters to level up in the outside world had been extremely boring to him. After all, those monsters couldn't help him improve at all. They were only leveling up for the sake of leveling up.
However, it was only when he stepped into the Mountain Range of Desolation that he truly felt like he was going to fight.
In the past, Shi Feng had only experienced the exhilaration of fighting peak experts when he fought the Soul Devourer. Now, however, he could feel the exhilaration of fighting the Soul Devourer.
Now, there was an existence that could make him feel fear. That was something that he could only come across by chance.
"Alright, let's hurry over. If we wait for the Boss to arrive, it'll affect everyone else!" Yan Ya could not help but feel a headache coming on when she saw Lifeless Thorn's excited expression.
Following which, both Lifeless Thorn and Solitary Nine activated the Power of Darkness, their Basic Attributes skyrocketing. Now, they could rival Mythic existences.
The two transformed into two streaks of light as they charged at Todelya. Meanwhile, Yan Ya, who was a Druid, chanted an incantation and flew into the air. At the same time, she activated Life Protection, which could absorb damage and convert it into HP.
Roar!
As a Region Lord, Todelya let out a furious roar when it saw the two ants charging at it. Its roar echoed throughout the outermost region of the Mountain Range of Desolation.
Moreover, as the roar spread, an invisible mental attack swept over everyone.
Aside from Shi Feng, everyone present couldn't help but let out muffled groans of pain.
"Good! Sure enough, it's amazing! "
Lifeless Thorn's complexion paled as he looked at Todelya, which was over 30 meters tall. Due to the mental attack that was even stronger than the Soul Devourer's, the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.
Raising his spear, Lifeless Thorn transformed into a streak of lightning and stabbed at Todelya.
Tier 3 Legacy Skill, Thunder Flash!
With the Power of Darkness's buff, Lifeless Thorn's spear pierced through space and appeared before Todelya as if he had teleported.
"So fast!" Unyielding Heart was also shocked by this scene.
Lifeless Thorn had crossed over 200 yards in the blink of an eye. Even if he activated his Berserk Skill, he wouldn't be able to react in time.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion shook the sky. In the next moment, Lifeless Thorn's figure slammed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a crater with a radius of over a dozen meters.
Lifeless Thorn's hands trembled as he stood inside the crater. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that the impact had been severe, and he had lost over 460,000 HP.
"What just happened?!"
Blue Gown was stupefied by this scene.
Lifeless Thorn's attack had been so fast, and the Strength behind it had definitely been at the level of a Tier 4 Mythic monster. Even a Tier 4 Mythic monster would be heavily injured by such an attack.
Yet, not only had Todelya escaped unscathed, but Lifeless Thorn had been injured instead.
Moreover, Lifeless Thorn had lost close to 10% of his HP, and this was despite Life Protection. In other words, Lifeless Thorn would've died in less than seven hits if he hadn't recovered from his injuries.
"Is that monster really a Superior Mythic?"
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Todelya's unscathed body.
Most of the peak experts present had seen Superior Mythic monsters before. Some of them had even killed Superior Mythic Bosses before, but the Todelya before them was nothing like the Superior Mythic Bosses they had encountered before.
Among everyone present, Shifeng, who was chanting an incantation, was the calmest. He wasn't surprised in the slightest.
During God's Domain's early stages, to help players adapt to combat, not only had the system provided players with many conveniences, but it had also weakened the monsters. Even after reaching Level 100, although players felt that the monsters were much stronger than before, they still weren't at their peak. They were still suppressed to a certain extent.
However, in forbidden lands, these monsters would no longer be suppressed and weakened by the Main God System. They would be able to exhibit 100% of their combat power.
The Mythic monsters in forbidden lands weren't existences that ordinary Tier 3 teams could challenge. Only with top-tier equipment and various tools would one have a chance of defeating a Mythic monster. Moreover, the team had to have plenty of experts capable of activating Berserk Skills. Otherwise, there would only be one outcome.
Complete annihilation!
Not to mention, Todelya was a Superior Mythic.
Even he wouldn't have an easy time against Todelya. He'd need at least six Tier 4 players to go up against it. Otherwise, he'd only be courting death.
This was also why he'd given Lifeless Thorn and the others 15 seconds. Even a few more seconds would've been a luxury.
For a time, Solitary Nine and Lifeless Thorn used all of their Lifesaving Skills to block Todelya's attacks. Even Yan Ya, who was one of the team's healers, had to activate the Power of Darkness. Otherwise, she'd die from the shockwaves.
Facing Todelya's Trample, Solitary Nine activated a Tier 3 Shield Wall to block the attack. In the blink of an eye, he, Lifeless Thorn, and Yan Ya were sent flying several dozen yards away. Both Lifeless Thorn and Yan Ya had lost over 1,000,000 HP, while Solitary Nine had lost over 3,000,000 HP …
Five seconds!
Ten seconds!
Every second of the battle put immense pressure on Lifeless Thorn and the others. They felt as if death would descend upon them in the next second.
The distant spectators were similarly stupefied. For the first time, they truly understood how frightening a Superior Mythic monster was. If not for Lifeless Thorn and the others activating their Berserk Skills, Todelya would've most likely killed them instantly.
"Commander! Are you still not done yet? "Solitary Nine asked the Shifeng in a hushed tone.
He had been joking when he thought he couldn't last 15 seconds, but now, he realized that 15 seconds was a long time. It was so long that he couldn't hold on for much longer.
"Thank you for your hard work!" At this time, the Shifeng finished chanting the final incantation of the Bible of Darkness. "Leave the rest to me!"
