"Unbelievable...... It's like a transition between the world on the surface and the world on the inside. When Reis, Liu Yiyu and the others took over the power of the True Eye from Xia Chiyu's hands, everyone looked at the world again and couldn't help but sigh. Ye Ziyuan said with a creepy expression: "These people ...... How did it come to this? ”

"What we see is the world of the souls, the city of demons that provide these humans with a rich life and then eat away at their souls." Xia Chiyu explained, "The appearance you see that has turned into a broken body is the embodiment of their souls, but their bodies are still intact. However, I think that when their souls are eaten away, their bodies will become walking dead. ”

"The atmosphere is really good, but the picture is a little too heavy...... It's no wonder that gaming companies stipulate that you must be over sixteen years old to experience the full game content. Lin Qianxue muttered in a low voice, and everyone followed the soul fragments separated from the people in the city to find them, and the final boss was at the end of the condensation of the soul fragments.

"Eat fish, and the final boss will feel very powerful." Zhang Zinuo asked with some concern, "You don't have much mana now, do you want to wait for a break?" In the face of level 80 monsters, everyone still needs your assistance. ”

"Don't worry, we won't be needed later." Xia Chiyu said calmly, "Just leave it to Reis, since I can single-handedly kill the boss in this dungeon, then he can too." Anyway, this is the last boss. ”

He ...... May I? Zhang Zinuo asked with a little surprise, while Li Feifei dragged Xia Chiyu's arm and said unhappily: "Brother, why can you all single-handedly fight the boss?" You also teach me heads-up! ”

"First of all, you have to go up to level ninety, and that's the most basic premise." Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "No matter how good the skills are, the boss with the difficulty of going to the top of ten people must have at least ten levels of level advantage." So, you still don't think about it. ”

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu rubbed Li Feifei's head: "What's more." Technique and perfect skill setting are also a must. ”

They followed the wisps of red mist and gradually came to the middle of the city. All these soul fragments converge towards the fountain in the center of the city, on which sits a statue of the "thinker", and the spring water overflows from the foot of the statue. But in Xia Chiyu's eyes, it was a red mist entering, and a yellow-green liquid flowing out.

"It should be here, considering the puzzle mode of this dungeon, there may not be a need for a boss battle, and we can get out after destroying this fountain." Xia Chiyu muttered to himself.

"I'll try." Lacey nodded. Drawing his sword, he walked towards the fountain.

However, as Lacey approached the fountain, the statue of the thinker on the fountain suddenly squirmed, his face became sharper and longer, his smile became more and more hideous, the demon's horns protruded from his forehead, and the bat's fleshy wings spread out behind his back, and soon it became a gargoyle-like statue, and the name "Astalo" emerged from the top of the statue's head, and it spread its wings and flew up.

"It's good to choose to indulge like everyone else. I will provide you with what you need, food, wine, women, no need for labor in this world, no pain, no disease, no hunger, no war, ......" Asthalo began to nag. But Reis didn't waste time with it, and directly swung his sword and slashed out a sword qi slash.

Astaro let out a high-pitched howl, and instantly flapped his wings and flew into the air, his face becoming more and more hideous. Fangs poked out of the corners of its mouth, blood foaming around his mouth, black and foul-smelling gas emanating from his side. With a wave of his right hand, a flame spread out of his hand, and then turned into a dragon of hell made of black and red flames.

"Asthalo, the twenty-ninth of the seventy-two pillar demon gods, its ability is to travel through time and space, and its lips advocate the doctrine of freedom, but it is actually teaching people to be lazy......" Cheng Ming took out a roll of parchment and read it as he looked at the contents.

Pepe turned to Xia Chiyu in surprise and smiled: "This is what we just found in the hand of an old man wearing a cloak, before this scroll was blank, but it can be read after having the BUFF of the True Eye." ”

"yes, I know. It's amazing......" Xia Chiyu smiled slightly wryly, not wanting to ruin the fun of the game that Pepe had discovered for the first time. But for Lacey, the situation is a bit more difficult to manage.

Because in addition to the boss itself, the Hell Dragon summoned by Astarus can also attack, and the Hell Dragon is a level 80 boss-level monster, which is only one level higher than the boss. Reis alone can't protect them and fight the boss, and Xia Chiyu's current mana has only recovered by less than 20%, so there is really nothing to do.

For a while, Lacey could only remain in a passive defensive state, wandering around, preventing Asthalo and the Hell Dragon from attacking Xia Chiyu and the others, but he had almost no chance to attack.

"Let's go up and help!" Cheng Ming said with some concern, but Xia Chiyu just shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous." After all, it's an eighty-level boss and boss monster, and it only takes two attacks or a big skill to kill you in seconds. I have too little mana right now, and my perks are limited, so I'd better let Lacey handle it alone. ”

"But Lacey's situation doesn't look good." Liu Yiyu said anxiously, and Ye Ziyuan also echoed: "He has been in a passive defensive state like this, sooner or later he will not be able to hold on, right?" Isn't the blood decreasing all the time? ”

Even if it is a level eighty monster, the boss is a boss after all, and the damage of players who fight level ninety is still very high, even if Lacey is in the state of a big shield knight, his health drops quickly, and it is impossible to perfectly defend every attack.

"This time it's to make as many dragon slaying weapons as possible, and it's not very cost-effective for any of you to hang up." Xia Chiyu still shook his head, "Don't worry, Lacey is not passively defending, but waiting for an opportunity." ”

"Waiting for the opportunity, waiting for what opportunity?" Zhang Zinuo asked curiously.

"Read on and you'll see." Xia Chiyu smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know." ”

Lacey just continued to fight the boss in a war of attrition, and used his health regeneration skill to recover once, and it seemed that he didn't plan to kill the boss at all, but only intended to delay as much time as possible, but ......

After about ten minutes of this, a large cloud of red-black mist suddenly erupted from Astalous's body, and the flames on the Hell Dragon's body became more and more vigorous. Astalous stretched out his hand and pressed it to the ground, and everyone was enveloped by a smiling skull made of black-red mist, while the Hell Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of dragon breath.

"Oh no, the boss is berserk!" Zhang Zhiwei screamed, stepping back like a frightened kitten.

"Here ......" A gleam flashed in Reis's eyes, and then the golden spell quickly spread from his armor, the metal wings behind him opened violently, and then slowly wrapped around the shield in his hand, "Guardian of the World......"

The wings behind Lacey vanished, and all that remained in his hand was a large, irregular six-pointed star-shaped shield. Lacey got down on one knee with his shield in both hands. Suddenly, a golden wall rose in front of everyone, and the smiling skull let out a strange explosion and opened its mouth to laugh, and then they were engulfed in the large piece of dragon breath......

However, when the dragon's breath dissipated, the golden protective wall did not disappear, and everyone on the scene was unharmed, and the huge shield in Lacey's hand radiated as dazzling as the sun. The light on the shield slowly dissipated, and shifted back to the tarnished metal wings behind Lacey. Transform into a pair of light wings.

"The punishment of sinners...... Rey whispered again, his hands clenched in vain, and the light flowed from the wings behind his back to his hands and body, and then condensed into a great sword in his hands. Lacey took a stance. Rushed towards Astalous.

"Sun Impact!" Lacey shouted, speeding up abruptly in the middle of the flight, shining like a ray of sunlight on Astalous, and then staying behind Astalous. Gently waving the long sword in his hand, the golden light on the sword seemed to be shaken off by him and dissipated, returning to the one-handed sword that Lacey had before.

Lacey slowly unsheathed his rapier. Then he turned around and smiled heartily: "Okay, it's solved." ”

Astaro's health quickly dwindled, and a full line of health was instantly empty, and it let out a high-pitched howl, shattering its body and scattering in all directions, and the inferno dragon turned into flames and dispersed.

Everyone was still stunned, I don't know why, I don't know why the boss was killed like this.

"But ......" Ye Ziyuan was stunned and said, "But, the boss was already berserk just now, right?" ”

There are usually two ways for bosses to go berserk in AO, one is soft rage, which is triggered when the boss is attacked to a weakness or a specific condition, and usually makes the boss attack improve or add several powerful skills.

The other kind of hard rage is the kill time set by the game for the boss, and if the boss is not killed after a certain amount of time, it will enter the hard rage. After the hard rage, the boss usually increases its attack power by more than ten times, and basically uses a full-screen group skill to beat all players to a state of serious damage. This is to avoid players from using some bugs that disrupt the balance of the game, and it is also to prevent players from using some extreme tactics to grind the boss to death, which is a very common setting.

"yes, that's what I used to kill the boss in seconds." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "That is Reis's domain skill, which should be to defend and absorb the enemy's attack power, and then convert it into his own attack power." ”

"Oh! Therefore, after the boss went berserk, his attack power increased greatly, and at the same time, he launched a powerful AOE skill on everyone, so that he absorbed a lot of damage, and only then did he directly drop the boss in seconds! Right? Liu Yiyu said suddenly.

"Yes, and the boss also has pets, the two of them attack together, and the attack power is very high." Lacey replied with a smile, "However, this extreme style of play can only be used when playing low-level dungeons, because even if it is at the advanced level, the boss can't be eliminated in seconds, and after the boss goes berserk, the whole group will be directly seconded." ”

"However, you can fight when the boss doesn't have much blood and is facing rage." Xia Chiyu smiled, "But is it really good for you to design like this?" Feels a bit biased towards PVE, right? There is not that much damage in PVP that can be absorbed, so the subsequent attack skills are no longer threatening. ”

"It doesn't matter, if it's PVP, I can use guò perfect defense to increase the amount of damage absorbed tenfold." Lacey laughs and explains, "And, in fact, there are some other uses for my Active Domain skills, which are not that simple. ”

"I roughly know......" Xia Chiyu smiled meaningfully, "The design is very good." ”

Lacey scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's worthy of eating fish, you can see it at once." ”

"It's amazing...... Ye Ziyuan sighed a little nymphomaniac, and then turned to Xia Chiyu with a flash of eyes: "What about your active domain skills of eating fish?" I don't think I've seen you use it. ”

"Well, it worked once. But this time there is no blue, and it is not very suitable for PVE. I've had enough skills for PVE, so I'll just set up domain skills as pure PVP skills. Xia Chiyu explained.

"Yes, I used it once when I was fighting with the Red Dragon Knight Breid, one of the princes, and I directly dropped half of the opponent's blood in seconds, which is very powerful, although I don't know what that skill is." Reis said with a smile.

"I'll explain it to you when I have a chance." Xia Chiyu said, looking up at the sky, "This place is about to collapse." ”

The gray sky was shattering, the city was being destroyed, the sun was turning into a black hole, and the people who lived in the city had lost the magic of Asthalo and saw the city and themselves as they really were, screaming and wailing from all corners of the city.

They cursed unwillingly, angrily reprimanding the murderers who broke this happy life, they stretched out their hands to Xia Chiyu and the others, the only ones who were not affected by the collapse, or wanted to leave themselves, or wanted to drag Xia Chiyu and the others in.

But in the end, it was probably because the broken souls could no longer support their bodies, or perhaps because their souls had become part of Astaro and were sucked into the blackened sun.

Only Xia Chiyu and the others were still standing firmly in place, although from the scene, an earthquake of magnitude nine or higher was happening around them, but they did not feel any tremors.

The surrounding scenery shattered bit by bit, until the surroundings turned into pure darkness, and the sound of glass shattering was heard, and the next moment they were back in the library, standing in front of a table full of real equipment.

Xia Chiyu looked down and saw that the bottle filled with black mist that had been placed on the table before was now broken.

"Okay, at least we escaped...... Xia Chiyu said to himself, he noticed that his hands still emitted the blue glow of the "True Eye", and where there should have been no stairs before, a staircase leading to the upper floor appeared now. He muttered to himself, "Looks like this quest has finally come to an end." (To be continued......)
