Chapter 129: Maxed Out Golden Skills, Instant Boss Kill!
Chapter 129: Maxed Out Golden Skills, Instant Boss Kill!
The person who intervened was none other than Faye!
In her consciousness, Felicia was trembling with heartache: "We barely managed to gather some of the Netherworld Water to restore a bit of soul power, and now it's all gone."
Despite Faye being significantly stronger than Spike as a dual S-rank, she didn't have a golden-quality skill scroll. Instead, she relied on ancestral support to enhance her with demigod-level soul power!
The enhancement resulted in a 50% increase in all of Faye's attributes and a 100% boost in attribute effects! Additionally, the power of all her skills was amplified!
This effectively tripled her attributes! Combined with Faye's innate talents and skills, the brilliance she radiated far surpassed Spike!
Amid the astonished cries of the players, the attack that previously one-shotted Spike was easily blocked by a water screen. The water then transformed into frosty blades, swiftly severing one of the World's Abomination's tentacles in mere seconds!
"Nice hit!" The players below were ecstatic.
Who wants to delete their character??
That would be like going from a superhero to an ordinary person in real life!
As long as there's a glimmer of hope, the players are willing to fight! Spike gave them that hope earlier, and now this unknown girl reignited their courage to resist.
Moreover, the boss's health was low, and there was a chance for a massive loot drop if they killed it!
"Come on, guys, let's attack! Otherwise, we might not get another chance!"
"This could be our last opportunity!"
"Don't hold back, use everything you've got!"
...
The players shouted, crazily unleashing their skills. The light effects of various buff skills lit up the scene in a dazzling array of colors!
They all followed behind Faye, attacking with all their might.
They couldn't help but be amazed. They never expected such a powerful expert to appear!
The strength of this girl was far superior to Spike's! It seemed the Dark Moon Alliance's territory was full of hidden talents.
They looked at Faye with gratitude. Without her, this boss fight might have ended in failure, and everyone would have died!
But their excitement was short-lived. The situation changed abruptly.
After seeing its attack blocked by Faye, the boss's form twisted, and it spewed out an energy vortex of various strange hues!!
The surrounding space warped and surged with this move, making it look extremely alarming!
Yet, the players charged forward bravely! They had nothing to fear anymore! If they didn't kill the boss, they wouldn't survive.
And they believed!
They believed that the newly appeared strong girl could block it...
Boom!!
The vortex clashed head-on with the water screen Faye created, and in an instant, the water screen was torn apart!
Faye reacted quickly, creating multiple water screens and frost barriers in an attempt to block the World's Abomination's attack, but it was futile!
The water screens and ice walls were all shattered and polluted!
Faye herself was forced to emit a very subtle energy ripple, barely deflecting the remnants of the boss's attack. She then plummeted to the ground, looking as disheveled now as she was graceful when she flew up.
She lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
However, the sinister vortex retained most of its power and transformed into a massive black hurricane in mid-air. The players caught in it were all gruesomely corroded, their flesh disintegrating into skeletons!
After this devastating move, the morale that players had barely managed to muster for a final assault on the boss instantly collapsed!!
In a flash, they couldn't even react. They could only watch, wide-eyed, as the hurricane swept towards them at an alarming speed.
Everyone's instinct was to run for their lives, but it was too late! The hurricane's speed was terrifyingly fast.
In the brief moment they realized Faye had been defeated, they had already lost their chance to escape.
In their final moments, their eyes were filled with despair, reflecting the rapidly approaching black hurricane.
This time, the players didn't even have the chance to utter their last words. All they could do was smile bitterly in their hearts, realizing it was all over!
The strongest dual S-rank had failed, the hidden expert was defeated, and they couldn't count on the Dark Moon Alliance, who couldn't intervene in the Netherworld that hadn't completely collapsed.
It was all over!
Meanwhile, Faye struggled to stand up... Though her life wasn't in danger, this wave of attacks was incredibly difficult to withstand. The Felicia in her consciousness was on the verge of breaking down, worrying about yet another drain on her soul power...
The hurricane expanded rapidly, threatening to engulf all the players!
Even the young man Felix, who had been rallying the players looked grim.
He communicated to the void, "Lord Richard, Lady Gloria, any new instructions? The players are about to be wiped out!"
But in the void, both the demigod and goddess of the Dark Moon Alliance looked equally grim.
"The counterattack from the Netherworld, combined with the backhand of the God of Heaven Water, is indeed not to be underestimated."
Gloria muttered, feeling a tightness in her chest. This wasn't just about the impending failure of their mission. It seemed that the genius "David" from the Primordial Earth Human race might also perish in this world.
She couldn't intervene in the Netherworld!
What pained Gloria even more was the nagging feeling in her subconscious that the losses were greater than she imagined!
Because the "forgotten" Constantine would also die to that boss!
Just as everyone's spirits were about to break, a sudden change occurred!
The young man Felix felt a sudden impact from behind! It was a small dragon, glowing with fluorescent colors.
Caught off guard, he hastily raised a magical shield. Though the shield held, the impact sent him flying into the sky, where he was the first to be swallowed by the black hurricane!
He, along with some players near the boss, became the first unlucky victims.
"No, impossible!"
After his body was destroyed, a semi-transparent soul emerged, exuding an extraordinary aura. He ignited himself, momentarily releasing a legendary aura that flickered and then vanished.
The soul was swiftly shredded within the black hurricane!
It was clear that the young man Felix was a hidden agent of the Dark Moon Alliance, his true identity being that of a legendary soul.
He might have continued to stir up chaos, but now only a crystal, glimmering with a faint golden light, remained on the ground, swiftly snatched up by the Star Radiance Dragon.
At the same time, in the place where Faye was struggling, a figure that brought immense joy to the young girl appeared—it was David.
He activated the healing effect of Star Radiance, rapidly casting excessive healing to create additional shields for both himself and Faye.
These shields, of course, couldn't withstand the boss's hurricane.
Even Sterl himself couldn't create a shield strong enough, and at this moment, David was merely an avatar of Sterl.
But delaying for a fraction of a second was possible...
And that was enough!
High above, a figure that left a deep impression on all players appeared—it was Constantine, the powerful figure from the Atlantean Empire who had openly challenged the Dark Moon Alliance before entering the Netherworld!
Under the gaze of countless players and even Richard and Gloria outside the Netherworld, Constantine was enveloped in a divine flame of seven colors, resembling a divine descent!
The flames were at least ten times more intense than when the players last saw him!
There was no doubt that this was Sterl's true form. He already held the evolved teleportation scroll. Whether the demigods and gods of the Dark Moon Alliance could intervene or not was still unknown to Sterl, so he had to be ready to flee at any moment.
But he had to fight this boss. Besides the Netherworld Water and the boss's drops, the Star Radiance Dragon was about to trigger its [Infinite Evolution] safepoint!
Killing the World's Abomination would definitely grant a special ability. Sterl knew that such bosses, fused with the world's will, were incredibly rare and powerful. Even after becoming a god, he might not encounter many of them!
Thus, the special ability dropped by the World's Abomination was likely to be extremely powerful and valuable!
This was Star Radiance Dragon's opportunity, and also Sterl's chance. He could leverage the primary star to freely obtain the abilities of the Star Radiance Dragon.
The potential rewards were too great for Sterl to ignore!
At this moment, the boss was fully focused on directing the hurricane against the players, completely unaware of Constantine's sudden appearance!
What followed was a breathtaking explosion of divine flames. Three consecutive bursts of divine fire erupted!
After the three flames detonated, they converged inside the boss, forming an incredibly brilliant lotus of fire!
In the terrified eyes of the players, the black hue of the hurricane was suddenly pierced by the radiant colors of the flames!!
In the first second, or rather in 0.1 seconds.
The hurricane ceased...
In the next second, a volcanic eruption!
The seven-colored flames burst out from within the boss, resembling an awakened volcano!
The entire sky was impacted by the flames!
The previously overcast sky, which had created an apocalyptic scene, was now burned and vaporized by the divine flames.
The gloom turned into a clear and bright sky!
The players, after a few seconds of stunned silence, started to flee in panic!
The descending seven-colored flames were not just majestic. They severely injured any players they touched.
Many used items and skills to escape the influence of the flames.
At the same time, the once-dominant World's Abomination was completely engulfed by the flames, transforming into a massive, blazing torch.
The flames reached the heavens, as if igniting the entire world in a magnificent spectacle!
Simultaneously, a sound echoed in all the players' ears.
