An Assassin That Shouldn’t Exist!

An Epic BOSS, its power is terrifying!

It threw the item dozens of kilometers away in a single toss!

"???"

Qin Feng was truly stunned for a moment.

Was this fellow trying to use the snake tooth to lure him away?

"Osirio, go pick up the snake tooth."

There was absolutely no need for Qin Feng to go there himself!

Although Osirio was bored on the side, it was constantly paying attention to Qin Feng. After all, it had to be ready at any moment in case Qin Feng needed to ride it to escape.

Hearing this, it immediately flew out eagerly.

"This tooth is a good item!"

Osirio maintained its stealth state and flew out instantly!

At the same time, the female player riding a Grey Eagle, 'Peach Rabbit Eating Hotpot Today', also saw this scene and actually flew towards the direction where the tooth had been thrown…

Unfortunately, compared to Osirio's speed, that Grey Eagle was too slow—so slow it couldn't even catch the exhaust!

Meanwhile, on Qin Feng's side…

Once Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals lost the 'old days catastrophe snake tooth', it finally regained its Upper Affix aura capability!

A burst of black mist swept across the surroundings, spreading as far as ten kilometers away!

5 points of Instant Death and 5 points of Nightmare per second began to stack directly on Qin Feng!

The intensity and range of this Upper Affix aura far exceeded that of a Diamond-level BOSS!

Under normal circumstances, there were two ways to fight such a BOSS. One was to prepare a 'Stripping' squad to strip away all the BOSS's Upper Affixes before their own gauges filled up.

The other way was the clumsy method: preparing multiple teams to attack the BOSS in rotation, retreating when the affix gauge was almost full and letting others take over…

But obviously…

Facing an intelligent Epic BOSS, the clumsy method wouldn't work well because the range was too large; most of the time, there wasn't enough time to escape the area of influence.

Moreover, once someone's affix gauge was nearly full, they would certainly be hunted down by the BOSS.

Therefore, the 'Stripping' affix was the most important attribute for conquering high-level BOSSes!

"Little Assassin, if you know what's good for you, get lost!"

The Great Calamity Underworld King sneered, but didn't dare stop its feet, running as fast as it could!

Because it knew how terrifying Qin Feng's damage was!

Once it stopped, Qin Feng could insta-kill it in one blow!

Even though it had regained the 'Invulnerability' affix and its three super-strong skills were unsealed, it didn't dare use them, because using those three skills required it to stop moving!

It had to maintain high-speed movement at all times to prevent Qin Feng's Killing Shadow from hitting it and to avoid some of Qin Feng's damage…

At this rate…

Before Qin Feng could 'Strip' it, his own 'Instant Death gauge' would fill up, and he would fall into a state of Death!

This was the Great Calamity Underworld King's final struggle!

It wanted to use its Upper Affix aura to force Qin Feng to retreat!

Unfortunately, there was one thing it miscalculated.

Qin Feng's fastest skill for stacking Upper Affixes hadn't been used yet…

The Mythic skill that slashes dozens of times in an instant—Thousand Blade Strike!

"The cooldown of Thousand Blade Strike is only 1.71 seconds."

"According to calculations, six consecutive Thousand Blade Strikes will be enough to strip away its Upper Affixes."

"And then, taking this opportunity… I'll insta-kill it!"

This skill's damage was average against an Epic BOSS because an Epic BOSS's damage reduction attributes were very high.

For a high-frequency, low-damage skill like 'Thousand Blade Strike', its damage was actually inferior to skills like Instant Shadow Slash or Crimson Blade.

Furthermore, the Great Calamity Underworld King previously had the protection of the 'old days catastrophe snake tooth', so stacking Upper Affix gauges on it was meaningless.

But now…

The BOSS had walked right into the blade!

Six Thousand Blade Strikes added up to less than 11 seconds.

The Instant Death Affix gauge Qin Feng had previously accumulated had long since dissipated over time.

Within these 11 seconds, Qin Feng's Instant Death gauge would stack to about 40%, while his nightmare gauge wouldn't even reach 10%!

And so…

Just as the Great Calamity Underworld King was full of anticipation that Qin Feng would 'retreat in the face of difficulty'…

Suddenly!

Thousand Blade Strike!

In an instant, over forty blade lights slashed toward the BOSS, shadowless and formless!

Puh puh puh!

Although the damage of this skill was average for the Great Calamity Underworld King, it instantly stacked a 15% Stripping gauge above its head!

It could be calculated that this BOSS's Stripping resistance was nearly ten thousand.

But in the face of 'Thousand Blade Strike', even such high Stripping resistance wouldn't last long!

"What?"

"What kind of bullshit skill is this?"

"Over forty attacks in an instant?"

This scene instantly shattered the confident Great Calamity Underworld King's illusions!

Although it had some understanding of the God Forsaken Game…

It wasn't the Knowledge Eye, after all; it didn't know everything!

The Assassin Legendary skill 'Thousand Blade Strike' left it in a daze, not to mention that this skill had already evolved into a Mythic grade in Qin Feng's hands!

It's worth mentioning that the Upper Affixes applied by skills and basic attacks don't just depend on attack frequency.

In fact, they are also related to the grade of the skill and weapon.

If a skill's grade is too low, the Upper Affix gauge stacked on a high-level BOSS will be reduced.

If a weapon is too low-level, the Upper Affixes applied when attacking a high-level BOSS will also be reduced.

But Qin Feng didn't need to worry about this.

Because his skills could evolve and would always surpass the BOSS, and his weapon was the Primordial-Level 'Blade of Judgment (divinity armament)', it was even less likely to be suppressed or reduced…

Besides that, some classes' skills have an amplification effect on the Upper Affix gauge they apply.

For example, Greatsword skills, certain magic skills with long casting times, and the Finishing Moves of some classes all have Upper gauge amplifications.

For instance, if the status screen shows 20 points of Nightmare affix, a Berserker's 'Gutting Axe' might stack thirty or forty points on the nightmare gauge.

Some of an Assassin's Finishing Moves also possess similar amplification effects, though Qin Feng hadn't obtained any yet…

…

When Qin Feng used 'Thousand Blade Strike' for the first time, the Great Calamity Underworld King felt there was still a sliver of hope.

"A skill this ridiculous must have a very long cooldown, right?"

But soon…

1.71 seconds later, the Great Calamity Underworld King was attacked over forty times again!

This caused the Great Calamity Underworld King to fall into complete despair!

"This skill's cooldown is less than two seconds? How is that possible?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"It must be a charge-based skill, it has to be. Two charges, and the third one will take a long time to wait for…"

Then came the third Thousand Blade Strike.

Once again shattering the Great Calamity Underworld King's illusions!

During this time, Qin Feng also applied Termination Marks to the BOSS, constantly weaving in Shadow Blade and Crimson Blade, causing its health to drop steadily!

The most important means of damage output was, naturally, Graceful Liberation!

The active effect of Graceful Liberation now had a cooldown of just over 3 seconds, and each use provided a 5-fold Throat Cut damage for 3 seconds…

Using Graceful Liberation once was equivalent to making the next skill's damage increase fifteen-fold!

This made Qin Feng lament once again that Graceful Liberation truly lived up to its name as a divine skill for the Assassin class!

"I…"

The Great Calamity Underworld King was completely frantic.

While fleeing, it held a Bone Greatsword over ten meters long and slashed wildly at its surroundings!

Black lasers shot from its eyes, sweeping across the area!

But unfortunately, Qin Feng was too fast, perfectly evading all of the opponent's attacks!

"Impossible… impossible…"

"This kind of Assassin…"

"Shouldn't exist at all!!"

With a mood of immense grief and indignation, the Great Calamity Underworld King's twenty-meter-tall giant bone body finally fell under one of Qin Feng's Crimson Blades, crashing to the ground and exploding into a floor full of diamond loot and three Epic-grade items!

This was its basic drop.

But Qin Feng didn't think much of it; what truly attracted him was… his Greedy Hand, which would directly pull out Legendary loot!

And there was also that 'old days catastrophe snake tooth' he had sent Osirio to pick up!

At the same moment the BOSS fell…

A system notification for the first kill of an Epic BOSS rang out in the minds of all players worldwide!

——

[Player 'Shadow (Great Xia)' has achieved the world's first kill of an Epic BOSS, gaining 200 prestige points!]

[Player 'Shadow (Great Xia)' has killed the Epic BOSS 'Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals', gaining 100 prestige points!]

——

Every Epic BOSS is unique; therefore, every kill of an Epic BOSS grants a 100-point prestige reward.

As for those 200 points, only Qin Feng could get them; it was the overall first-kill reward for the Epic-grade, a one-time opportunity worldwide.

At the same time this system notification spread across the globe…

Over in Shanghai, many people's hearts were broken.

"Oh heavens, the BOSS is dead. My son will never recover…"

"Damn that Shadow, give me back my wife's life!!"
