#376
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing let out a sigh of relief.
Because this meant Hilda had succeeded.
At this moment, after experiencing that terrifying agony, Hilda's complexion had also turned exceptionally pale.
Aside from that, there were no other changes to her body.
She took a few deep breaths, seemingly calming her emotions.
Then, she extended her pale jade hand covered by a black veil, condensing a ball of Blood Poison within her palm.
A layer of dark purple aura appeared inside this ball of Blood Poison.
Hilda still maintained a calm expression, as if the pain she had just experienced had already been forgotten by her.
"I can feel it, my Blood Poison has changed."
"This change has elevated my Blood Poison to a terrifying degree."
"Thank you, Lord…"
A gratified smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face.
In this way, Hilda had essentially completed another qualitative transformation, one no less than the metamorphosis after she broke through to Commander.
Aside from summoning the Blood Spider legion, she had gained yet another terrifying ability.
"Go, let me see your performance."
Hilda nodded slightly, then directly charged down alone.
Cao Xing was not in a hurry to send out others, wanting to let Hilda test the damage first.
That flash of red shadow joined the battlefield of the Zorma Behemoth at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, the battlefield below was becoming increasingly chaotic.
Furthermore, another ten to twenty thousand people had joined the fight during this period.
It was a battlefield of a full seventy to eighty thousand people, complete with a massive number of bizarre troops and summoned creatures.
One could easily imagine how chaotic the situation was.
Therefore, Hilda's appearance did not attract any attention at all.
As a Tier 5 Commander-grade creature, coupled with a full set of movement speed buffs, Hilda ran at an extremely fast speed, resembling a streak of red lightning.
In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the feet of the Zorma Behemoth.
From Hilda's perspective, the thick legs of this Zorma Behemoth were like towering pillars, covered in wrinkles and ice-blue scales, giving off an indestructible feeling.
However, a look of disdain surfaced in the eyes of this Blood Spider Queen.
"Hmph! Clumsy big guy."
As she raised her hand in a beckoning gesture, a large number of Blood Spiders appeared beneath her!
It was precisely her skill—Hatch Blood Spider.
These Blood Spiders numbered forty or fifty, and their speed was extremely fast, far surpassing the speed of those ordinary Survivors.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared under the soles of the Zorma Behemoth's feet.
"Puff!"
As the very first Blood Spider self-destructed, a force of Blood Poison attached itself to the sole of the Zorma Behemoth.
Due to the weakening of the Zorma Behemoth's [Dragon's Majesty] talent, its abnormal status resistance was only increased by 90%.
Under the attacks of the massive number of Survivor lords, it had already been afflicted with over a hundred abnormal statuses.
Of course, the abnormal statuses inflicted by these people caused very little damage.
Most of them were single-digit damage, with a small portion being over 20 points.
And with the self-destruction of this Blood Spider, the status bar of the Zorma Behemoth showed the effect of [Blood Poison (1 Stack)].
"Hiss~!"
As the Blood Poison took effect.
A damage number of [-424] popped up from above this BOSS's head.
It looked inconspicuous, but compared to the surrounding Survivors, most of whose damage was in the double digits, it far exceeded them by countless times!
And most crucially, this was merely the effect of Hilda's 1-stack Blood Poison.
Calculated this way, as long as it stacked to 100 layers, it would be equivalent to over forty thousand damage per second!
One could imagine how terrifying of a damage number this was.
And as the Blood Spiders below continuously self-destructed, in the blink of an eye, the Zorma Behemoth's Blood Poison status stacked up to 47 layers.
"Hiss… Hiss…"
As the effects of the Blood Poison continuously triggered.
Five-digit damage numbers appeared one after another.
[-19928]
[-35]
[-72!]
[-19928]
[-47]
[-44]
[-19928]
[-115]
[-133]
…
Amidst a pile of double-digit and triple-digit damages, five-digit damages suddenly popped out one by one.
One could imagine how shocked the Survivors witnessing this scene were.
The crowd couldn't help exclaiming in shock.
"Holy shit! Which powerhouse unleashed this attack, it's so terrifying?"
"Too outrageous, nearly twenty thousand damage all at once. Our entire raid group of one to two hundred people takes a minute or two to deal this much output."
"Something's not right, brothers, this seems to be abnormal status damage too. It equals nearly twenty thousand damage dealt every second, this is simply too terrifying!"
"What?"
The Survivors stared in utter shock at the damage numbers overhead.
Yet Hilda, who had caused all of this, continued to calmly spew out Blood Poison, stacking even higher damage!
Far away, Cao Xing instantly rejoiced upon seeing Hilda's performance.
"Good, good, good! This effect is truly terrifying!"
"Just as I guessed, after fusing with this drop of blood, Hilda can not only go the Blood Spider self-destruction build, but also the status affliction build!"
"If the number of self-destructing Blood Spiders is enough, she can instantly stack it to 100 layers!"
On Hilda's side, while waiting for the cooldown of the skill [Hatch Blood Spider], she continuously spewed Blood Poison to stack up the layers.
The damage numbers dealt per second also grew higher and higher.
"Puff! Puff puff!"
When the second wave of Blood Spiders appeared and all self-destructed under the feet of Zhuo Mas Claw.
The abnormal statuses on its body were directly stacked to 100 layers!
"Hiss~!"
Blood Poison triggered consecutively.
Terrifying damage numbers that made one's heart tremble appeared one after another.
[-42400]
[-42400]
[-42400]
[-42400]
[-42400]
…
The Survivors were completely dumbfounded.
"Holy shit! Which deity on earth is this, over forty thousand damage per second? Is this a number appearing on the Zorma Behemoth?"
"Perverted! With this kind of terrifying output, just relying on her alone, it feels like she could take down this Zorma Behemoth."
"Too outrageous!"
…
What concept was an output of over forty thousand per second?
Even a ranged legion of two to three thousand people could only deal about twenty to thirty thousand damage in a second!
Hilda was equivalent to relying on herself alone to rival the output capability of a legion numbering in the thousands, or even higher.
Terrifying indeed!
Furthermore, Hilda's performance was prominent not just against such stationary World BOSSes.
Even when dealing with ordinary BOSSes, this ability was equally formidable.
After all, she could now hatch a large number of Blood Spiders from corpses.
As long as the number of Blood Spiders was sufficient, a single wave of self-destruction could casually stack it to a hundred layers.
Even if some BOSSes had dispelling skills, dispelling always had a cooldown, right?
Just during this cooldown period, it could deal an unknown amount of damage!
It could be said that the combination of Hilda's two major abilities directly elevated her combat capability by more than just one tier.
Full of potential!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing was even more thrilled.
He seemed to envision the scene in the future where Hilda waved her arm high on the battlefield, leading a massive horde of Blood Spiders to engulf the enemy.
This drop of blood was truly fused right!
Meanwhile, through the current Zorma Behemoth output leaderboard, the Survivors saw a familiar name.
[First Place: Cao Xing (Accumulated Output 1,243,300)]
[Second Place: Wu Xinghu (Accumulated Output 894,200)]
[Third Place: Qiu Yating (Accumulated Output 753,300)]
[Fourth Place: Yao Yiming (Accumulated Output 693,300)]
[Fifth Place…]
…
It looked like the gap wasn't very large.
But one had to know that everyone's combat had already started for over ten minutes.
And from the time Hilda joined the fight, it hadn't even been 40 seconds.
One could imagine how terrifying of a speed this was.
"What the hell, when did Great Lord Cao Xing's name appear?"
"I don't know, I didn't even see him on the battlefield!"
"Brothers, this forty-thousand-plus damage couldn't have been dealt by Great Lord Cao Xing's subordinate, right?!"
The crowd simultaneously thought of this possibility.
However, when they looked around, they couldn't find Cao Xing's figure anywhere.
After all, up until now, Cao Xing had only sent Hilda out.
Coupled with the fact that Survivors currently could not see the attributes of other lords and subjects.
On such a chaotic battlefield, wanting to notice a Blood Spider Queen was truly somewhat difficult.
In the battlefield below, Hilda was still continuously dealing output.
The damage of Blood Poison was uninterrupted; as long as the Blood Spider Queen kept stacking Blood Poison, she could continuously deal damage.
Just a minute passed, and Cao Xing's damage directly jumped to three million, widening the gap once again.
Everyone watched with shocked expressions as the damage numbers on the leaderboard constantly jumped.
Meanwhile.
The Zorma Behemoth's HP had already dropped by 49 million.
With the final 1 million remaining, it was about to activate that Commander-grade skill, [Falling Ice Star].
Wu Xinghu, who had been keeping an eye on the Zorma Behemoth, quickly shouted in the regional channel: "The BOSS is about to burst, everyone, fall back quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly led his knighthood and the combat personnel of the Ice Tiger legion, rapidly charging toward the rear of the battlefield!
The other guild leaders also realized this point.
After all, everyone knew how terrifying this Commander-grade skill was.
With a damage multiplier of a full 558%, not a single Survivor present on the field could withstand it; they would be instantly killed on the spot!
All the leaders quickly commanded.
"Retreat! Quickly retreat beyond a one-kilometer range of this Zhuo Mas Claw!"
"Run faster if you don't want to die!"
A massive number of Survivors scattered like a tide.
Meanwhile.
The Zorma Behemoth's HP had also directly reached 450 million…
At this moment, the pupils of this colossal monster suddenly widened.
Two gales of icy-cold breath instantly spewed from its nasal cavity.
A destructive aura continuously overflowed from within its body!
The next moment.
The Zorma Behemoth stamped its feet and violently soared into the sky!
Everyone lost their attack targets!
And the battlefield below descended into complete chaos.
Tens of thousands of people scrambled to escape, fearing they would be wiped out in one wave by this ultimate move, and stampede incidents even occurred.
A leader hurriedly shouted.
"Everyone don't panic, everyone don't panic!"
"This skill has a 15-second cast time, which is enough for all of us to escape beyond the attack range."
"Evacuate in an orderly manner, don't crowd!"
Under the coordination of the various legion leaders, although somewhat chaotic, they still managed to have their subordinates evacuate.
Time flew by rapidly.
After about ten seconds passed, about 80% of the Survivors below had evacuated.
The remaining portion of the Survivors was also about to run to the edge.
Just at this moment, everyone simultaneously sensed a roaring wind appearing above their heads.
They raised their heads to look, seeing a black dot already appearing in the sky, rapidly descending with destructive might.
At this moment, the massed Survivors surrounding the area had already retreated in droves by more than half.
The other portion of Survivors had also fled to a distance of roughly seven to eight hundred meters away from the Zorma Behemoth's attack range.
However, there were still some sporadic figures standing in place on the field, either having means to protect their lives or feeling confident in their own strength.
Meanwhile, the sound of the wind coming from above grew increasingly intense.
They vaguely saw…
That Zorma Behemoth actually curled up its body, looking truly like a light blue asteroid constructed of ice crystals.
It plummeted at a terrifying speed, like a meteor streaking across the sky, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it smashed directly onto the ground.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening roar rang out, and the earth trembled violently, as if a strong earthquake had occurred.
The huge shockwave spread in all directions like surging waves, kicking up dust and ice and snow all over the sky.
The violent wind howled, making people almost unable to open their eyes!
[-31154]
[-32278]
[-31923]
[-30523]
…
Several terrifying damage numbers appeared.
The few unlucky fellows who failed to escape to a safe distance were directly killed in one hit by this attack!
When the flying snow all over the sky dissipated, the massive body of the Zorma Behemoth gradually revealed itself.
It stood upon the earth like a towering peak, exuding a chilling aura all over its body!
The Survivor swallowed hard, feeling lingering fear one after another.
"Is this a commander-grade skill? It is truly terrifying!"
"Yeah, the feeling it gave me just now was just like the end of the world. Who the hell can survive under this level of attack?"
"Perverted!"
And what they did not know was that this destructive ultimate move had even been weakened by the system.
The real Zorma Behemoth, when casting [Ice Star Drop], could easily destroy everything within a dozen kilometers around!
Its power was comparable to a nuclear bomb!
However, under this kind of destructive might, there was still a figure who neither dodged nor evaded.
It was none else than Hilda!
At this moment, she was still standing in place, leisurely spewing out Blood Poison and continuing to inflict damage on the Zorma Behemoth.
The terrifying attack just now merely shattered one layer of the Holy Shield on her body.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing chuckled happily.
"The Holy Shield truly is a divine skill. Dealing with this kind of monster, you can just stand and fight face-to-face, there is no need to dodge at all!"
After seeing the monster's ultimate move end, Wu Xinghu issued an order at the first instance: "Continue the charge!"
The knighthood of the Ice Tiger Legion, along with the more than 700 combat personnel behind them, rushed out once again.
During the charge, Wu Xinghu looked at the output leaderboard; Cao Xing's cumulative output had already reached 5 million.
Just now, after the Zorma Behemoth flew into the sky, everyone was unable to launch attacks.
However, Hilda's Blood Poison was still continuously dealing damage.
From the activation of the skill to its end, taking about 20 seconds, Hilda contributed another more than 800,000 in output.
However, the stacks of Blood Poison also decreased by 6 layers, and she needed to continue stacking the poison.
Wu Xinghu sighed endlessly, "As expected, whenever this person casually makes a move, it is a peak that others can hardly reach."
"It seems the first place this time belongs to him again."
However, Wu Xinghu didn't even think about being able to surpass Cao Xing.
In so many previous encounters, he had long deeply experienced how perverted this man was!
He just needed to secure his second place.
With those words falling, the Ice Tiger Legion he led had once again launched a fierce attack on the Zorma Behemoth.
Seeing this scene, other Survivor also scrambled to rush out.
After all, rewards this time were given based on output. Being able to fight for a few more seconds meant being able to inflict quite a bit more damage.
"Swish swish swish!"
Over 80,000 people surged over once again.
Cao Xing's side did not have the idea of sending out the entire army.
After all, relying on Hilda's Blood Poison now, he was already able to firmly sit on the throne of output first place.
However, in order to speed up the elimination of the Zorma Behemoth, Cao Xing decided to send Sarah out as well.
"Sarah, after you go over, just directly attack the toes of the Zorma Behemoth."
"Keep a low profile, don't let them notice you."
That Dark Elf assassin nodded.
The next moment, she rushed straight out!
After breaking through to the Master rank, her agility had already surpassed 5,000.
Coupled with various movement speed buffs, her instantaneous burst speed directly exceeded 700 meters per second!
It was even twice the speed of sound.
What kind of concept this was can be imagined.
Like a black lightning bolt, it only took her seven or eight seconds to arrive at the feet of the Zorma Behemoth.
Then, she raised the [Flowing Fire Blade] in her hand and slashed down mercilessly!
"Bang! Snap!"
[-17543!]
[-16235!]
[-18321!]
[-22423!]
…
Sarah was already a Tier 6 Master-rank powerhouse, and her attack power was almost twice that of Hilda.
Coupled with a 100% critical hit rate, an Epic-tier weapon, and terrifying burst skills,
the damage dealt was still not as high as Hilda's Blood Poison.
This shows how perverted Hilda's output was as a Tier 5 creature.
She actually suppressed Sarah all at once.
Of course, as mentioned before, Hilda's Blood Poison only had miraculous effects when dealing with monsters with high HP and high defense.
Speaking of burst power, it was definitely still inferior to Sarah's.
However, with the addition of this blade assassin,
the Zorma Behemoth's 500 million HP decreased even faster.
Moreover, everyone also noticed.
On the output leaderboard, Cao Xing's cumulative damage originally increased by 40,000 to 50,000 per second.
Now it suddenly became 70,000 to 80,000 per second, becoming even more terrifying.
However, the Survivor at this time were already numb.
They knew that this man could not be described by common sense.
Even if Cao Xing instantly killed the Zorma Behemoth right now, they wouldn't find it strange.
As time passed, more and more Survivor joined the battle group, and the number of combat personnel gathered here had already exceeded 100,000…
This number even exceeded the Battle of Lake Doron City.
Looking into the distance, it was densely packed with heads everywhere.
Those guild leaders kept commanding until their throats were almost smoking!
Similarly, the Zorma Behemoth's HP was also dropping faster and faster.
Previously, Cao Xing estimated that relying on these people on the field, it would take at least three hours to resolve the battle.
But now, this time was estimated to be significantly shortened.
Besides that, after the shield on the Zorma Behemoth's body was broken, it would also fall into a 30-second weakness state, further increasing everyone's output capability.
After a full hour and seventeen minutes of fierce battle, the Zorma Behemoth's HP was finally reaching rock bottom!
[5.42 million / 500 million…]
The last 5-plus million HP.
Meanwhile, everyone glanced at the output leaderboard one after another.
[Zorma Behemoth Output Leaderboard]
[1st Place: Cao Xing (Cumulative Damage: 227 million…)]
[2nd Place: Wu Xinghu (Cumulative Damage: 8.9441 million)]
[3rd Place: Qiu Yating (Cumulative Damage: 8.3751 million)]
[4th Place: Yao Yiming (Cumulative Damage: 7.9395 million)]
[5th Place: Zhou Bo (Cumulative Damage: 6.1221 million)]
[6th Place…]
[13th Place: Ji Xinyue (Cumulative Damage: 2.2955 million)]
…
Cao Xing's 200 million damage was simply awe-inspiring!
The Survivor swallowed saliva, "Too perverted! Over 200 million output in one hour is almost comparable to the damage of tens of thousands of us!"
"It's truly outrageous, I can't imagine how this person managed to do it."
"I guess Great Lord Cao Xing should have a territory resident under his command whose stacking abnormal status damage is extremely terrifying. Didn't you guys see those damage numbers of over 40,000 one by one? This is abnormal status damage."
"That's right, I previously saw someone send out a kind of prop in the chat channel that can increase abnormal damage by more than a dozen times within a certain period. I think everyone can also consider cultivating a status-damage-build territory resident."
"Bleed build is number one in the world!"
"…"
Everyone was guessing one after another how Cao Xing accomplished this.
And what they did not know was that this was merely Cao Xing's two strongest output combat forces.
If the entire army pressed forward, I'm afraid relying on the legions under his command, he could wipe out this Zorma Behemoth within an hour.
Meanwhile.
Cao Xing saw that the World BOSS's HP had only the last 2 million left.
He continued to give orders: "Bjorn, Xiao, Assam, Victoria, you guys go over together."
"Listen to my command, be ready to unleash your strongest attack at any time."
That's right, Cao Xing was already thinking about whether he could secure the final kill.
Although he had already taken the reward for this kind of commander first kill,
but this time was different; this time it was a World BOSS.
who knows, there might be some other rewards as well.
Not only Cao Xing, but also the surrounding guild leaders had such plans.
They repeatedly exhorted team members in the team channel to save their burst skills
and hurl them all out at the very end.
In the blink of an eye, the Zorma Behemoth's HP dropped to 1 million…
Everyone couldn't help but breathe tensely.
900,000…
800,000…
700,000…
When the Zorma Behemoth's HP dropped to 500,000, Cao Xing instantly ordered: "Everyone use your strongest burst!"
Receiving the command,
Sarah's figure flashed directly, instantly executing the single-target skill — Death Dance!
On the other side, Xiao had already stacked dozens of sword auras behind her back.
At this moment, they all shot out fiercely!
And Bjorn also directly unleashed the divine burst skill — Sun Chaser!
Including Assam and Victoria nearby, they also successively unleashed charged attacks!
And those guild leaders also shouted loudly!
"Attack! Burst with all your might!"
"Damn, the kill of this Zorma Behemoth must be ours!"
"Kill them, brothers! Right now, the Zorma Behemoth in other areas still have 200 to 300 million HP left. Ours is the fastest one. As long as we take it down, it will be the world's first kill!"
"Taking down a first kill of this magnitude might even trigger a world announcement!"
Hearing the four words 'World First Kill', everyone's breathing became rapid!
