Chapter 160

Flames blasted out in all directions, and the Bone Armor gleamed, blocking all the stray embers.

"Such strong attack power."

With just a single hit, the Skeleton Warrior sustained significant damage.

This mage was far stronger than the Elemental Leopard King from earlier.

After he eliminated the Elemental Leopard King, most of the energy in the Dungeon concentrated onto this mage.

Not only that, but even the energy of the humanoid monsters had now converged onto it.

It had gathered nearly more than half the energy of the entire Dungeon into its body; it would be strange if it weren't strong.

"If you can't kill me, I will kill you!"

The mage's voice rang out again, followed by a buzzing sound from its staff.

The entire Dungeon shook.

Lin Moyu's expression changed drastically.

The Dungeon exit next to Ning Yiyi vanished, and the Dungeon Escape Talisman was also disabled.

They could not leave the Dungeon.

It was either kill the enemy or be killed.

If he lost, not only would he die, but Ning Yiyi would not survive either.

The Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages launched their attacks at the same time.

A Detection Spell was cast.

[Elemental Archmage (Hell Dungeon Boss)]

[Level: 39]

[Strength: 10,000]

[Agility: 10,000]

[Spirit: 40,000]

[Constitution: 10,000]

[Skills: Shackles of Wind, Bursting Flames, Meteor Firestorm, Silence, Mana Shield]

[Traits: Greatly Enhanced Vitality]

For a Level 39 boss, its Strength and Agility were nothing special, but its Spirit was as high as 40,000 points.

The Level 27 Skeleton Mages' Spirit attribute reached up to 45,000 points after amplification, which indeed seemed higher, but they were utterly defeated in terms of skills.

The opponent's skill intensity was extremely high; just now, a Skeleton Warrior was heavily injured after taking only one hit.

For Professionals, strength depended not only on attributes but also on skills.

This Elemental Archmage boss must have been a mage-type Professional in life.

After dying, it was reconstructed by the Dungeon's energy, still retaining the characteristics of a mage Professional, with exceptionally powerful Spirit.

Its 40,000-point attribute had surpassed the Elemental Queen, making it the strongest single-attribute boss Lin Moyu had ever seen.

Combined with these five skills…

Lin Moyu felt a massive headache.

But now there was no way back; it was a matter of life and death.

Since that was the case, then fight.

The Skeleton Warriors had already rushed forward, raising their broadswords high as their skills erupted!

Blue light flashed as a blue barrier appeared around the boss.

Skill: Mana Shield!

The skills of several Skeleton Warriors landed on the Mana Shield. The shield burst with dazzling light and began to distort.

But half a second later, it returned to normal.

The strength of this Mana Shield was extremely high, the highest Lin Moyu had ever seen.

He didn't know what level the opponent's skill had reached, but it was incredibly strong.

Flames burned in his palm.

Skill: Soul Fire!

A wisp of flame bypassed the mage's protection, instantly appearing above the boss's head.

The boss showed a look of pain, its entire body trembling violently, but it did not make a single sound.

Skill: Slow Curse!

Lin Moyu's skills were cast in rapid succession.

Amidst the red light, the boss's speed suddenly slowed down.

Apparently not expecting a Curse skill, its expression changed, revealing a hint of satisfaction amidst its surprise.

The Skeleton Mages' attacks followed immediately, submerging it in a massive onslaught.

Fire element: Bursting Flames!

Water element: Ice Storm!

Wind element: Tornado Storm!

Lightning element: Five Thunder Strikes

For a moment, wind and fire mingled with thunder and lightning.

The four elemental attacks landed on the Mana Shield, dazzling and brilliant, causing the shield to distort and deform continuously.

The Mana Shield shattered with a bang.

The Skeleton Warriors' attacks took the opportunity to land on the boss.

Beams of light shot out, landing on the Skeleton Mages.

The Skeleton Mages hit by the light instantly went silent.

Skill: Silence.

Silence could plunge mages into a silenced state, making them unable to use any skills.

Even the Skeleton Mages were not spared.

Control skills…

…were the skills Lin Moyu hated the most.

The light kept firing, and the Skeleton Mages fell into a silenced state one after another.

The Skeleton Mages, unable to use skills, could only stare blankly, powerless to do anything.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu immediately recalled the Skeleton Mages who had not been silenced.

The Skeleton Warriors' broadswords continuously struck at its body.

It retreated quickly, but affected by the Curse, its retreat speed was very slow.

At the same time, Lin Moyu continued to cast Soul Fire.

Every single Soul Fire attack caused it pain.

The Skeleton Warriors pursued closely; at its speed, it could not outrun them at all.

A gust of wind blew, and the foremost Skeleton Warriors suddenly came to a halt.

A chain appeared on their bodies.

The Skeleton Warriors were trapped in place, unable to move.

Skill: Shackles of Wind!

The boss continuously cast its skill, trapping several Skeleton Warriors each time.

The Skeleton Warriors could not get close to it.

Blue light flashed, and the Mana Shield appeared once more.

This way, even if a few Skeleton Warriors caught up, they wouldn't be able to break the Mana Shield.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Skeleton Warriors had been trapped, each standing like a wooden stake, unable to move.

It was troublesome enough for normal monsters to have control skills, but for the boss to have them as well…

This was simply a headache.

The Skeleton Warriors were bound, and the Skeleton Mages were silenced.

Corpse Explosion… there were no corpses.

Lin Moyu knew that he could only rely on himself now.

This was the first time he had to fight a boss purely on his own.

—Requesting Flowers—

Soul Fire was his only offensive skill.

Fortunately, the Mana Shield could not block it.

Soul Fire was cast repeatedly, over and over again.

The boss's expression was contorted in pain, its body shaking incessantly.

It raised its staff high.

Complex and mysterious starlight patterns formed beneath its feet.

They quickly turned into a pentagram array.

Skill: Meteor Firestorm!

Meteor Firestorm was a skill that Level 40 mage-type Professionals could only master after completing their second class transfer.

A large-scale area-of-effect skill.

The sky turned crimson, followed by countless flaming meteors crashing down.

Both its range and power were far greater than those of the mage who had ambushed them back then.

The Skeleton Warriors were all controlled, so Lin Moyu couldn't recall them and could only endure the attack.

The Bone Armor gleamed, blocking the attacks for Lin Moyu.

The skill's range was too vast; there was simply nowhere to hide.

So, he simply didn't bother hiding.

Nor did he worry about the skeletons.

Lin Moyu steeled his resolve; they would fight head-on and see who could hold out until the end.

Braving the flaming meteors, he continuously cast Soul Fire.

…

Every so often, he recast Bone Armor on himself.

The boss had immense vitality; it wouldn't be killed so easily.

Even if it were surrounded and attacked by Skeleton Warriors, it would still take a minute or two of hacking.

Let alone now, when Lin Moyu was the only one attacking.

His mental energy was depleting rapidly.

When it was more than half depleted, he took out a recovery potion he had prepared long ago and drank it.

He had carried the recovery potion with him before entering the Dungeon just in case, and he hadn't expected to actually use it.

Meteor Firestorm lasted for a full minute before finally stopping.

A beam of light shot out from the boss's staff.
