Is this reasonable? Is this scientific? Is he even human?!

【Twilight Watcher · Faded Vine (Lv30)!】

【Rank: Legendary!】

【Sub-vine: 120 million HP!】

—

A deathly gray vine, over four meters in diameter, burrowed out from the ground and headed straight for the Dark Wolf Emperor!

Seeing this, the Dark Wolf Emperor reacted with lightning speed, performing a clumsy roll and barely managing to dodge the vine's first strike!

However, immediately after, the giant vine extended from the cracked scorched earth beside him, shooting hundreds of meters into the sky!

Then, the surface of the vine split open, and deathly gray poisonous needles scattered in all directions!

"Holy crap!"

Facing this indiscriminate attack, the Dark Wolf Emperor's eyes widened. Seeing the dense cluster of poisonous needles, he knew there was no way he could dodge them all…

He knew that if he took even a single hit from a Legendary BOSS's attack, he would most likely kick the bucket!

"Block for me!"

"Aowu!"

The forty or fifty Magic Gold Wolves summoned by the Dark Wolf Emperor pounced in front of him one after another, forming a wall!

The poisonous needles pierced into the bodies of the Magic Gold Wolves one by one.

In just an instant, more than twenty of his subordinate Magic Gold Wolves were dead.

One had to realize that these Magic Gold Wolves were even tankier than his main body, each having over 300,000 HP, yet they were instantly killed by this wave of needles.

Even the surviving Magic Gold Wolves were in terrible shape; half-health and near-death wolves were everywhere.

"These needles are too dense, and each one deals tens of thousands of damage…"

The Dark Wolf Emperor scrambled up from the ground in a disheveled state, clicking his tongue in shock.

The strongest BOSS he had defeated before was only Emerald-grade, and its single-target ultimate only dealt fifty or sixty thousand damage.

Yet this Legendary BOSS surpassed that level with just a single random needle, and it had scattered tens of thousands of them in an instant…

Is this BOSS even meant to be fought by humans?

Furthermore, the Dark Wolf Emperor saw the name above the vine; this was only a 'Sub-vine'!

"120 million health…"

"Too ridiculous, this is just too ridiculous."

"How the hell am I supposed to fight this!"

The Dark Wolf Emperor scrambled up and immediately transformed into his werewolf state!

His arm and leg muscles bulged, his head turned into a wolf's, and his eyes became lupine… In his werewolf state, the Dark Wolf Emperor's four-dimensional attributes were greatly enhanced, even breaking through 1,000 points!

This level could be said to have surpassed the vast majority of experts in the Great Xia Magic Capital.

However, in this state, some of the Dark Wolf Emperor's human-form skills would be unusable.

He wasn't transforming into a werewolf to fight the BOSS now…

But rather, to speed up his escape!

However, just as he turned and sprinted five hundred meters in an instant, his expression changed drastically.

Because the Magic Gold Wolves he had left behind to observe all discovered that on the Faded Vine Sub-vine that had just burst through the scorched earth, the bark split open to reveal hundreds of deathly gray human eyes!

The gaze of all those eyes was focused on the Dark Wolf Emperor, who was fleeing in his werewolf form.

Then, countless deathly gray poisonous needles were released again, and this time, thousands of needles converged, aiming entirely at the Dark Wolf Emperor!

It was very clear.

The 'Faded Vine' was somewhat curious that a player nearby hadn't died under its needle offensive.

This wave was an unreserved offensive, targeted completely at the Dark Wolf Emperor alone!

"Crap, I'm going to die."

The Dark Wolf Emperor's eyes turned red with desperation.

He had just learned that dying at the hands of this BOSS would result in a 100% Whispers state…

Although his physical constitution in reality was decent and he wouldn't die from being in a Whispers state for two days, he would lose his mind during that time!

There was no telling how many of his own brothers would die at his hands!

But just then.

Bang!

He felt himself suddenly kicked by someone, and his entire body was sent flying!

Before he could even react, he suddenly saw that the 'Faded Vine Sub-vine' reaching into the clouds not far away had its 120 million HP bar emptied in an instant, and the entire giant vine was sliced in half!

"Huh???"

The Dark Wolf Emperor's eyes widened on the spot, completely dumbfounded!

"120 million HP!"

"Gone?"

"No, is this even scientific?"

He had heard of Shadow's strength before, but since he was too far from Great Xia, a lot of news simply didn't reach here!

Shadow had killed Legendary BOSSes before.

But no one had ever told him that Shadow could one-shot a Legendary BOSS!

Even if this was just one Sub-vine of a Legendary BOSS, it still had 120 million HP!

It was just gone in an instant?

The Dark Wolf Emperor didn't even see the health bar of that Sub-vine drop in segments!

The health bar simply vanished!

"As expected of Big Brother Shadow…"

The Dark Wolf Emperor almost cried.

He obviously knew who had kicked him now.

With his speed, it would have been impossible to dodge those thousands of needles, but that kick—hey, the speed at which he was kicked away far exceeded the speed of those needles!

He directly dodged all the needle attacks!

"He one-shotted the Legendary BOSS's Sub-vine."

"And before the one-shot, he even had time to kick me… no, to save me with a kick."

"Just how strong is his combat power?"

What shocked the Dark Wolf Emperor even more was yet to come.

Because…

This Sub-vine was only the beginning!

After this first Sub-vine was insta-killed by Qin Feng, another Sub-vine immediately appeared on the surrounding scorched earth!

This time, the Sub-vine appeared more than ten kilometers away!

It burst through the scorched ground and shot into the sky…

"Twilight Watcher · Faded Vine has a Whack-a-mole phase before the main body appears."

"Sub-vines appear at random locations within a 20-kilometer radius."

"Each time a Sub-vine appears, it lasts for one minute."

"If you can destroy the Sub-vine within a minute, it adds one to the count."

"Otherwise, the next time a Sub-vine appears, it will have full health and deal stacking damage…"

"Only after destroying twelve Sub-vines in total will the Twilight Watcher's main body appear!"

This was the most important mechanic of this Legendary BOSS.

Even during the main body fight, every time the BOSS lost 20% health or every three minutes, it would enter this 'Whack-a-mole' mechanic phase again.

Simply put, this BOSS had hard requirements for a raid team's damage output and movement speed.

If the transition wasn't fast enough or the output wasn't high enough, it was impossible to kill this BOSS—they wouldn't even see the main body!

Of course, 120 million HP seemed like a lot.

However, if distributed to a sixty-person team, assuming there were forty damage-dealing classes, each person only needed to deal 3 million damage.

Even if half the time was spent traveling, it only required 100,000 damage per second (DPS).

The top damage dealers in An Yu and Gu Yixue's team already reached a million DPS normally. Especially Xiao Hei, after obtaining the 'Source of Mana' Sublimation Scroll from Qin Feng, her DPS had doubled!

Of course…

If they were to fight a Legendary BOSS, the BOSS's defense and damage reduction would be higher, and they wouldn't even be able to output one-tenth of their usual DPS.

But as long as they developed a bit more, there was still hope for handling this 'Whack-a-mole' phase.

Of course…

The true difficulty of this BOSS lay in its main body!

For top players like An Yu and Ghost Spirit at this stage, excluding Qin Feng, there was still a significant gap before they could face a Legendary BOSS directly…

And so.

At this very moment, on a patch of ancient forest scorched earth outside the Harare Ruins.

Deathly gray vines burst from the ground one after another, shooting into the sky!

Then, within a few seconds at most, Qin Feng would fly over and one-shot it with a casual skill!

Vine appears!

Vine gets one-shotted!

The Dark Wolf Emperor, who had been kicked away, watched this scene play out around him and was completely stunned!

"Is this reasonable? Is this scientific? Is he even freaking human?!"
