In Shadow’s dictionary, there is no such thing as damage per second—only instant kills!

On the banks of this underground Pollution River, more than two hundred people were enveloped in the Whispers of the ancient gods.

Each of them stared wide-eyed in tension.

As the Whispers gauge accumulated, they quickly became somewhat delirious, and various irregular halos even began to appear before their eyes.

And it was at that moment…

They witnessed thick, pitch-black tentacles stretching out from the Pollution River!

Each pitch-black tentacle was as thick as a large beer barrel, covered in various irregular, ancient patterns.

This scene terrified everyone present, and they all retreated one after another!

In the crowd, An Yu gritted her teeth, holding her Emerald-grade longsword, and struck three times in a single second with lightning speed!

Boom!

Her basic attack triggered Dragon Flame, and a blast of fire sprayed from the longsword, landing on one of the pitch-black tentacles.

-1.2w!

Without weakness damage, she could only deal twelve thousand damage.

And this damage…

Was a mere drop in the bucket for the Epic BOSS 'Unclean Brain · Touch of Pollution' before her; it didn't even count as a scratch!

"This Level 30 Epic BOSS has a total of 330 million health…"

"My three strikes only dealt less than twenty thousand. In other words, I'd need at least fifteen thousand strikes to kill it…"

A sense of desperate helplessness surged in An Yu's heart.

She did a quick calculation…

Even if the BOSS didn't have a health-lock mechanism, with this much health, it would take five or six hundred of her combined to kill the BOSS within half a minute!

Not to mention…

How could an Epic BOSS not have mechanics?

Sensing the BOSS's tankiness slightly, An Yu felt a sense of trepidation.

After all, she was currently the highest-output player in Jianghai City, bar none.

If even she felt this powerless…

If such an Epic BOSS appeared in the Jianghai City Ruins, how would the Government respond?

"So…"

"Can we still only rely on Shadow?"

An Yu felt a bit bitter.

Just as she was thinking this, she looked up and discovered that the BOSS's health bar had suddenly dropped by more than half!

Instantly, its health became: 157 million / 330 million!

???

An Yu and everyone around her were instantly dumbfounded!

Right then, having lost most of its health in an instant, the Epic BOSS let out a terrifying roar, a screech that seemed to come from endless ancient times, making souls tremble!

Next, everyone saw a blue shield bar behind the BOSS's health bar surge instantly, gaining over a hundred layers of Damage Immunity Shield every second!

The mechanism of this Epic BOSS was infinite shield regeneration!

As long as the damage output or the number of attacks was insufficient, it would be impossible to ever deplete its shield!

But as long as its shield was broken, one could successfully move to the second phase…

Under normal circumstances, even Qin Feng would need help from teammates to break through its hundred-plus layers of Damage Immunity Shield per second.

But now…

Qin Feng didn't care about these shields at all.

He simply held the Blade of Judgment and gave a casual slash. The Order from 'Shield Disintegration' took effect, instantly clearing all of the BOSS's shields!

Whether it was the blue shield bar or the Damage Immunity Shield, they were all nullified!

Thus…

In the eyes of An Yu and the others, the BOSS's behavior became particularly comical.

When it first appeared, it was majestic and exceptionally terrifying.

Then suddenly, the moment most of its health was taken away, all the tentacles in the area froze in mid-air, as if completely stunned.

Following that, its shields had only appeared for half a second before being cleared!

Then those tentacles, as if struck by an electric shock, tried to retract into the Pollution River with lightning speed!

Unfortunately, before it could fully retract, the health bar above its head was completely emptied in one wave.

Qin Feng used Instant Extinction!

Combined with Graceful Liberation and Crimson Blade, he directly dealt nearly two hundred million damage, emptying its remaining health. It didn't even manage to trigger its invincibility phase at the final third of its health!

——

[Player 'Shadow (Great Xia)' has killed the Epic BOSS 'Unclean Brain · Touch of Pollution', gaining 100 Prestige!]

——

"…"

In a total of less than three seconds, an extremely terrifying Epic BOSS had died before everyone's eyes…

Or rather, people hadn't even seen the BOSS's full appearance clearly before it was already dead.

It didn't even have time to escape!

"Holy crap…"

"As expected of Shadow…"

"Killing an Epic BOSS is faster than me killing a Common mob, boohoo…"

"Two hits? Was that two hits? What kind of damage is that…"

The Whispers gauge accumulating above everyone's heads came to a screeching halt.

They finally understood what it meant by 'just kill it instantly'…

Although they had been mentally prepared, seeing this scene with their own eyes still felt incredible, making their scalps tingle.

Especially at the very beginning, when An Yu had attacked the BOSS a few times.

They knew exactly how fierce An Yu's output was!

As a Dragon Swordsman with a unique Hidden Class, if she dealt steady damage, her DPS was already ten or twenty times that of an average player!

With a full burst, she could even take out most of a Golden-level BOSS's health!

And yet…

When the powerful An Yu attacked that Epic tentacle monster, she hadn't even visibly moved its health bar!

But when 'Shadow' made his move…

The scene simply made one think they were dreaming.

The Epic octopus appeared!

The Epic octopus tried to run!

The Epic octopus is dead!

These were probably the only thoughts that flashed through everyone's minds in those few short seconds—absurd, yet truly happening before their eyes!

"Damn… I was just wondering what Shadow's DPS was."

"In the end… why would he even care about DPS?"

"In Shadow's dictionary, there is no such thing as damage per second—only instant kills!"

When the BOSS died.

The Whispers of the ancient gods surrounding the area vanished!

In fact, the BOSS's attacks also carried the 'Corruption' affix, but unfortunately, it had no chance to attack at all before it was scared witless and then instantly killed…

From beginning to end, it hadn't even been able to say a single word.

It just made some 'aba aba' noises while trying to escape before falling completely silent.

Qin Feng's figure reappeared before everyone.

Then he had the Little Phoenix on his shoulder take action.

"Grey Chicken, pull the BOSS's corpse up, otherwise the stuff looted by Hand of Greed will fall into the river."

Qin Feng patted Grey Chicken's wing.

Grey Chicken was a bit reluctant: "Huh? I'm so small, and I have to pull such a big octopus?"

Qin Feng: "Didn't you say your strength was over a thousand? Pulling an octopus should be a piece of cake… Hurry up, look, Cat Head is watching."

Grey Chicken looked back.

He saw that Gu Yixue and the snow-white, slender owl on her shoulder both had their eyes wide open, seemingly completely shocked by Qin Feng's output…

"I'm going now."

Grey Chicken suddenly became excited and scurried off like a bolt of lightning!

He ran to the riverbank, ruffled his feathers, and hooked a tentacle with his small claws.

He thought that with his strength value of over a thousand, it would be enough to drag this thing out, but…

After a long while, even though this guy put in every ounce of his strength, he only managed to make the giant octopus's corpse move a few times; he couldn't pull it up at all!

"Holy mother of pearl, this thing is too heavy!!"

Grey Chicken broke down in tears.
