Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Eight Strikes in a Second, Another Legendary BOSS Down!
With enough Skeleton Warrior shields forming a perimeter, this time, turning the Ancient Blood Shark around became much smoother.
Meanwhile, Lao Tie had slowly crawled to the backside of the Ancient Blood Shark’s dorsal fin. His sharp knuckle-dusters began to tear through the behemoth’s skin membrane, while his eight claw-spikes transformed into footholds, digging deeply into the flesh, tightly clenching onto the body to stabilize his position.
Watching Lao Tie punch the flesh directly, Zi Liyuan kindly added a “Frenzied Slicing” to the BOSS, which instantly doubled the damage per second, reaching a level of 1.2W+ DPS.
Once Zi Liyuan had stacked all the negative BUFFs he could on the Ancient Blood Shark, Lao Tie also entered his brutal mode.
Opening with a skill that split the armor, he inflicted “22620” points of damage on the Legendary BOSS while also stacking a negative BUFF that lowered physical resistance by 30% for 60 seconds.
The other hand immediately followed with a skill called Double Sever, the sharp knuckle-dusters tearing open a chunk of flesh and inflicting “40700” points of damage on the Legendary BOSS.
As for the skill’s certain chance to cause a crippling effect, it did not take on the massive body of the Ancient Blood Shark.
After two skills, the Blood Spider Blade set skill “Frenzied Slicing” activated; Lao Tie’s hands turned into a series of afterimages, and his knuckle-dusters began frenziedly slicing the dorsal fin of the Ancient Blood Shark.
Eight slashes per second, each causing 200% damage, slicing for 3 whole seconds, he made 24 cuts.
“-13580” “-13566″… “-13509”
A total of 24 damage figures popped up frequently in just three short seconds, and that wasn’t all – a new negative BUFF was stacked on the Ancient Blood Shark: ceaseless bleeding!
It was losing almost 1358 points of health per second, and the duration was a lengthy 30 seconds.
Just with three skill combos, in a mere four seconds, he had nearly taken down 40W of the Ancient Blood Shark’s health.
Zi Liyuan felt it was a pity that Lao Tie’s passive skill, Flame Burn, had not taken effect on this Legendary BOSS.
Not only was there scene suppression, but since the Legendary BOSS was a shark and belonged to the water attribute monsters, it had a naturally high resistance to fire attributes, rendering Lao Tie’s flame damage completely ineffective.
After a wave of furious output, Lao Tie entered a period of weakness. Aside from using the Puppet Heavy Strike on cooldown to add a bit of damage, his attack turned entirely into plain, fist-to-flesh punches.
“Lao Tie only has four active skills at his disposal, and the only one that’s routinely usable is the Puppet Heavy Strike. It seems necessary to secure a few high-damage routine skills soon,” Zi Liyuan reflected.
Zi Liyuan was micro-controlling his skeletons to taunt while refreshing curses and auxiliary skills, considering how to enhance combat power.
Unexpectedly, the behemoth shark unable to reach its own back, simply started to drag itself across the ground!
Its enormous body rolled and thrashed directly on the mud bottom, using its back to repeatedly scuff against the muddy ground.
This kind of tumbling and ramming pressed Lao Tie between the shark’s back and chunks of earth and stone; each ground friction resulted in health depletion by the second, causing approximately 3700+ DPS.
What made Lao Tie particularly uncomfortable was that his own attack frequency was completely disrupted by being squeezed and dragged, significantly reducing his attack efficiency.
Fortunately, with his eight claws firmly fixed to the body, he didn’t have to worry about being thrown off. This allowed Lao Tie to take advantage of the moments when the BOSS’s momentum had waned to get up and furiously attack the Ancient Blood Shark, using his passive life-steal to recover his own health loss.
The war of attrition began once again.
For Zi Liyuan, wearing down an enemy was just fine; a Necromancer like him was least afraid of attrition warfare.
Summoning the Skeleton Cannon Fodder Group, seamlessly connecting with taunt skills, Lao Tie’s insanity in output, maintaining various curses was all it took.
As time slowly passed, the Legendary BOSS’s health dwindled ever lower, finally leaving just a layer of blood skin.
The Skeleton Cannon Fodder still maintained their numbers, sincerely serving as the BOSS’s rib delivery service.
Lao Tie dug out a piece of flesh from the back of the ancient blood shark, and he stood in this meat pit to avoid being crushed and rubbed by the BOSS against the ground or walls.
The person who felt the most exhausted throughout was none other than Zi Liyuan.
His summoning had never ceased, his cursing had never ceased, his control and taunting had never ceased, all of which made him extremely tired.
During Lao Tie’s latest burst of abilities, this legendary BOSS finally took its last humiliating breath.
“Since they’ve already restricted the Legendary BOSS’s intellect, why not also cut its hit points by eighty percent?”
Grinding down eighty million hit points was truly agonizing. He really wanted to drag the person responsible for releasing the Legendary BOSS here and let him experience the exquisite pain of grinding tofu!
[Ding, congratulations to Zi Liyuan on slaying the Secret Realm’s 51st-floor BOSS, successfully clearing the 51st floor. You have five minutes to rest or you may directly enter the next floor of the Secret Realm to continue the challenge.]
[Countdown for intermission before proceeding: 4 minutes 59 seconds…]
“The 51st floor’s Legendary BOSS has been taken down. That should break the highest record for the Dragon Academy entrance examination, right? But it’s not very safe. Through the ages, countless freaks have entered Dragon Academy, and it’s possible that someone has taken down a Legendary BOSS. Looks like I’ll have to clear the 52nd floor as well.”
Lying in the water, too lazy to move, someone rolled his eyes. To be on the safe side, he was ready to move on and conquer the next floor of the Secret Realm.
When Zi Liyuan said he was going to break the Dragon Academy entrance exam record, he meant business!
When he said he would give his fellow examinees mental trauma, he intended to follow through!
Outside the Ancient Tower of Mystical Realm, the Mediterranean teacher stood dumbfounded, his eyes filled with intense shock.
He has broken the record!
Throughout history, the strongest candidate in Dragon Academy’s entrance exam had only reached the 51st floor and the most anyone reduced a Legendary BOSS’s hit points was by 50%.
But this year’s national college entrance exam champion went ahead and killed the Legendary BOSS outright, which was just outrageous!
“It’s been five years since anyone made it to the 51st floor.
The last time someone faced off against a Legendary BOSS, if I remember correctly, was a direct descendant of the Imperial family from the Great Ming Empire.
They managed to take down 40% of the Legendary BOSS’s hit points with a set of epic gear and a legendary spear bestowed by their ancestors, but in the end, they ran out of potions and had to withdraw reluctantly.
After entering Dragon Academy, they dominated all the students within just one year.
Not to mention, after entering the Sea of Realms, in just four years’ time, they became the Lord controlling five cities.”
As the Mediterranean teacher spoke, he began to examine the guide jade card that Zi Liyuan had embedded into the wall of the Ancient Tower.
“Zi Liyuan, an orphan… inconceivable! Just too inconceivable!
Lacking background and resources, he completely rose on his own. Is he defying the natural order?
The academy had just seen the departure of one oddity that intimidated all the students, and now it seems like a new great demon king is coming!
However, I like it. There’s going to be a good show at the academy this year… hehe…”
The Mediterranean teacher snickered vilely, pulling a jade card from his chest.
He recorded with his Spirit the scene of Zi Liyuan killing the Legendary BOSS, imported it into the jade card, then exhaled a bit of his Spiritual Power, and the whole jade card shone with a faint blue glow before disappearing in an instant.
