Chapter 158: It Puts The Title Of Hell Rank Difficulty To Shame; Both The Monsters And The Boss Are Weak!
After killing a few more monsters, Lin Moyu finally leveled up.
Before he leveled up, Lin Moyu summoned 10 brand new Skeletal Warriors and added them to the summon space, bringing the number of Skeletal Warriors to 140.
After he leveled up, his spirit force was completely restored. He decided not to use his spirit force for the time being.
Before he knows what kind of boss this dungeon has, for safety reasons, it is better to preserve his spirit force. It may end up making a difference.
The group continued to advance and unwittingly dominated the darkness world.
The monsters of the latter half weren't much more challenging, merely their numbers increased.
On the whole, they had to face two or more monsters at a time.
In fact, it wasn't uncommon to encounter four or five monsters at the same time.
Lin Moyu was indifferent about this. In any case, the ones fighting in front were the skeletons.
The Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages don't get tired and don't feel pain nor fear.
There is no one more dedicated than them.
"Moyu, don't you feel like this place has become brighter?" Ning Yiyi suddenly asked.
Lin Moyu has also noticed the change. As they killed more and more monsters, the pitch-dark environment brightened up.
Light was no longer swallowed completely. And in fact, it became possible to see light in the distant horizon.
Not only did it become brighter here, but even the boss statue was emitting faint light.
Ning Yiyi asked in confusion, "Although it's shining, but why does it feel it even darker?"
It is indeed growing darker.
It's like black ink, so dark it reflects light.
Every time a monster is killed, black energy is dissipated into the air.
Part of the said energy disappears to who knows where, while another part enters the statue.
The monsters' death seems to be some kind of ritual mechanism to awaken the boss.
As for the part of the black energy that disappears, Lin Moyu feels as if it's heading in the direction of the human side.
Lin Moyu is convinced that his observation is correct. "As we eliminate the monsters of the Demon side, the Abyss's power is weakened, and the power of the human side is enhanced."
"Furthermore, after they die, the energy of the monsters flows into the statue."
"The dungeon seems quite simple. The boss is probably the most troublesome thing."
Lin Moyu doesn't think that the hell rank dungeon should be so simple. There must be something else to it.
If it were that simple, then so long as other parties are careful, they should be able to lure the monsters and kill them one by one.
Not to mention a full party of 12 people, even Shi Xing'an's party should be able to accomplish this much with some effort.
Ning Yiyi feels that Lin Moyu's judgment isn't wrong.
This dungeon's real challenge should lie with the boss.
According to Shi Xing'an, there was no such change in the nightmare rank difficulty.
Furthermore, the scene the two saw at the beginning was not included in nightmare rank difficulty.
Otherwise, Shi Xing'an would definitely have mentioned it.
Shi Xing'an is a meticulous character. He explained their raid in great detail.
Some parts match, while others are completely mismatched.
This shows that the mechanisms of hell rank difficulty and nightmare difficulty are different.
The boss statue in nightmare rank difficulty was 30 meters tall.
Although it was still big, but not as big as the boss statue in hell rank difficulty, which is 100 meter tall.
Generally speaking, the larger the size of the monster, the stronger it is. Lin Moyu turned more cautious.
Now that it has become slightly brighter, Lin Moyu can see the monsters. Ning Yiyi can finally relax her large eyes.
So far the dungeon hasn't been really challenging.
This is quite strange.
After all, a hell rank dungeon shouldn't be this simple.
As monsters were killed and their numbers decreased, the sky became brighter.
At this time, the darkness nearly vanished.
There are only a few scattered monsters left.
The boss statue has become so dark that it's hard to describe in words.
It is several times darker than the thickest black ink. At the same time, it emits faint light from its center.
The statue started to vibrate, as if it were about to resuscitate.
Once Lin Moyu kills the last few monsters, it will fully resuscitate.
Lin Moyu's eyes constricted, and he said to Ning Yiyi, "Go to the foot of the mountain and wait there."
Ning Yiyi knows she might become a burden to Lin Moyu, "Be careful. Stay safe."
Subsequently, Ning Yiyi obediently ran to the foot of the mountain and hid behind a large boulder, only her head sticking out.
With his mind at ease, Lin Moyu had the Skeletal Warriors deal with the remaining monsters.
When the last monster was killed, this world's darkness disappeared completely.
The statue droned and started to move.
The black statue grew thick fur. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a monster with black fur.
Compared to the monster, Lin Moyu and the skeletons look no different from ants.
The large blades of the Skeletal Warriors are not even as thick as the hairs on its body.
The other party is really gigantic. Lin Moyu has never met such a large monster before.
The huge frame dispenses an astonishing sense of pressure. For a moment, Lin Moyu even had difficulty breathing.
The boss, covered in black fur, looks like a giant black panther.
It looks exactly as the Abyssal Demon King he has seen when he first entered the dungeon.
In fact, the monsters the skeletons killed along the way, Lin Moyu has seen them when he first entered the dungeon.
The monsters in this dungeon aren't real Abyssal Demons, but monsters constructed from the Abyss's energy.
They can't compare to real Abyssal Demons in terms of attribute and level.
[Elemental Panther King (hell rank boss)]
[Level: 36]
[Strength: 15,000]
[Agility: 15,000]
[Spirit: 15,000]
[Physique: 15,000]
[Skills: Elemental Explosion, Elemental Swipe]
[Characteristics: Extreme Speed, Greatly Enhanced Health, Greatly Enhanced Defense]
Its four attributes have reached 15,000. Not unlike the Skeletal Warriors, its attributes are balanced.
The Extreme Speed characteristic gives it superfast speed.
The Greatly Enhanced Health and Defense characteristics serve to upgrade its survivability by a great margin.
Although the boss looks the same as the Abyssal Demon King, but its level is only 36, and its attributes decreased by a number of times. It can be regarded as a simplified version of the Abyssal Demon King.
In order to deal with it, the first thing to do is to limit it speed.
If its super high speed is restricted, the boss will be at Lin Moyu's mercy.
Although the boss's size is astonishing, but that also leaves it greatly exposed.
Faced with the nimble Skeletal Warriors, coupled with Slowing Curse, its huge size can actually become a handicap.
Not unlike the Dragon Lin Moyu has seen during his awakening, who died under the blades of Skeletal Warriors.
Even ants can bring an elephant down to its knees.
The Elemental Panther King fully resuscitated, then lowered its head to look at the ant-like Lin Moyu and let out a fierce roar.
A violent wind suddenly arose, and the four elements surged and roiled.
Flames emerged out of thin air and danced in the air with the wind.
Subsequently, lightning thundered and rainwater fell and turned into ice arrows.
The four elements erupted at the same time, exuding extraordinary power.
A mere roar revealed the Elemental Panther King's extraordinary control over the elements.
The Bone Armor appeared and blocked the elemental assault.
Skill: Slowing Curse!
At this time, a giant red net fell.
The Elemental Panther King's roar suddenly dragged out, like a cat's meow.
The Elemental Panther King was enraged and sent a paw slamming toward Lin Moyu.
The agility attribute of 15,000, combined with the Extreme Speed characteristic, gives the Elemental Panther King astonishing speed. Even with Slowing Curse's forty-fold decrease, its speed still can't be considered as slow.
Unlike other monsters, who after being curse look like they're in slow motion, its speed is at least faster than Lin Moyu's.
The panther paw pressed down like a mountain, yet Lin Moyu didn't dodge.
There was a loud bang, and the earth shook.
The Elemental Panther King felt something wasn't right.
The Bone Armor shimmered and blocked its attack.
Lin Moyu remained motionless under its paw.
From an attribute perspective, the Elemental Panther King's physical attack power is not much higher than that of the Outpost Guardian.
As such, with Bone Armor covering his body, there's nothing to fear.
At the same time as the Elemental Panther King attacked Lin Moyu, Skeletal Warriors jumped onto its body.
They grasped its fur with one hand and brandished their large blade with the other.
In the blink of an eye, a total of 140 Skeletal Warriors climbed its body.
The Skeletal Warriors erupted with their skill, and red light illuminated the sky.
As the large blades fell, black gas burst out from the Elemental Panther King's body and flew toward the human side's world.
The Skeletal Warriors once again entered the meat grinder mode, and large blades struck the Elemental Panther King with clanging sounds, each strike bringing out a burst of black gas that dissipated in the air.
Just like the time with the hell rank Outpost Guardian, the Skeletal Mages surrounded the Elemental Panther King.
In this way, the Elemental Panther King can't really attack all the Skeletal Mages at the same time.
The Skeletal Warriors' skill erupted en masse, together with the Skeletal Mages' concentrated firepower.
The Elemental Panther King's size shrank, from the original height of 100 meters to a height of about 95 meters.
It stands to reason the Elemental Partner King will die when its height is reduced to zero.
Weak! Too weak!
Lin Moyu shook his head, feeling even more that things are strange.
