“Shut up and heal me!”

Appearing before Qin Feng was a massive humanoid Skeleton around fifteen meters tall!

The giant Skeleton was crouching in the deepest room of the tomb, and hanging from its two skeletal arms were hundreds of human skulls of varying sizes; these human skulls formed twelve 'Witch Rings', which served as its weapon.

Around the giant Skeleton, in the twelve directions of the room, stood a bone pillar, each seven or eight meters high, and at the top of each pillar was a brazier burning with a Deep Blue ghostly fire.

Shadow Blade!

Qin Feng immediately threw a skill at the giant Skeleton.

The result was the word 'Immune' appearing.

"Is this BOSS not activated yet?"

Qin Feng looked at the massive humanoid Skeleton.

——

[Skeleton Bishop · Nibago (Lv25)]

[Grade: Diamond-Grade (Inactive)]

——

So, Qin Feng began to study the room.

His nine years of experience in pioneering content allowed Qin Feng to notice everything suspicious in the scene.

Finally, he focused his attention on the twelve bone pillars.

"Twelve pillars."

"Each pillar has different patterns on its four sides; can they be rotated to form different combinations?"

In God Forsaken Game, puzzle-solving exploration segments often appear.

"This room is quite large…"

"Since that's the case, I'll call Osirio over."

Qin Feng raised his hand, summoned the King of Predators to his side, and had it summon twelve Bone Sword Wyvern minions.

As for Qin Feng himself, he rode Osirio and retreated outside the room to avoid any accidents.

Following Qin Feng's instructions, those Bone Sword Wyvern minions began to rotate the patterns on the twelve stone pillars one by one…

After more than an hour of attempts.

All the patterns on the twelve pillars were turned so that the 'skulls' faced outward, and at the same time, a 'creak, creak' sound could be heard from inside the room…

"It worked."

Qin Feng was not too excited.

He had experienced too many puzzles like this in his previous life.

Immediately after, he saw the giant Skeleton in the middle of the room; the dirt on its body loosened, and it slowly stood up!

"Who dares to disturb my slumber?"

"I am a loyal follower of the God of Bones, a manipulator of corpses…"

Just as the giant Skeleton was still muttering.

Qin Feng had already ridden Osirio back into the room, ignoring whatever the BOSS was shouting, and raised his hand to cast 'Termination Mark'!

Followed immediately by a Shadow Blade!

– 38.8w (Weak Point Attack)!

As expected of a Level 25 Diamond-level BOSS, it had quite high damage reduction!

If not for Qin Feng being able to ignore 100% of the opponent's defense and elemental resistance, this Shadow Blade probably wouldn't have even dealt 300,000 damage.

However, it didn't matter much.

Damage was secondary; the most important thing was that Qin Feng, by landing Shadow Blade after Shadow Blade, combined with 'Termination Mark', was stacking Combo Points at a terrifying speed!

Three Shadow Blades per second, plus one Instant Shadow Slash; in just two seconds, Qin Feng had stacked 100 Combo Points.

Then…

Endless Nightmare!

Compared to Qin Feng's operations.

The Diamond-level Skeleton Bishop 'Nibago' was clearly dumbfounded, because it couldn't see where the target attacking it was at all!

It could only swing the twelve skull Witch Rings on its arms, continuously launching area-of-effect attacks, with Deep Blue ghostly fire bombarding the entire room!

Unfortunately…

Qin Feng's stealth, Invulnerability, and Damage Immunity Shield made him almost invincible in this situation.

Even if his defense was broken and he was caught, he still had the effect of 'Shadow Arc' to save his life.

Qin Feng's trump cards now… were too many!

After activating 'Endless Nightmare', Qin Feng casually cast a few skills and pressed the BOSS's health down to two-thirds.

When its health bar turned gray, it entered an invincible state.

Qin Feng saw that twelve different corpses were floating up on the twelve surrounding bone pillars!

"Is that Tejima Ichiro and the others?"

Qin Feng was a bit surprised.

Those twelve corpses were already highly decomposed, but they were clearly members of Tejima Ichiro's team.

They had already resurrected and returned.

But their corpses were kept here and became the BOSS's 'weapon'!

When those twelve corpses appeared, Deep Blue flames burned on their bodies, and a terrifying and frightening Chaos pressure enveloped the entire room!

The 'Chaos Gauge' above Qin Feng's head began to skyrocket!

Osirio laughed out loud: "Human assassin! Can you hold on? If you can't, just say so, and I'll slap you to Death to save you from falling into Chaos."

"Get lost."

Qin Feng gave that guy a disdainful look.

Osirio was eager to try again: "Those corpses can be attacked; do you want my help? I can have my minions take one each and finish off the corpses, so it won't trigger Chaos!"

"Impressive."

Even Qin Feng was a bit surprised by this.

This guy actually understood the BOSS strategy?

That's right, those corpses releasing 'Chaos energy' into the surroundings could indeed be attacked!

It was just like the chrysalises of the Twin Butterfly Shadows before; every time these corpses were attacked, they would only lose 1 HP forcibly, and these corpses had varying HP from 30 to 50.

It should be determined by some of their attributes from when they were alive…

As long as all the corpses were cleared before the Chaos Gauge reached 100%, this crisis could be averted.

But obviously…

This was just the strategy under normal circumstances, which tested team coordination greatly.

If anything went wrong, even top-tier elite teams would fail here.

But for Qin Feng…

It wasn't needed at all!

Shadow of Death!

Instant Shadow Slash x4, Shadow Blade x4, Shadow Blade x4, Shadow Blade x4!

Qin Feng activated three Shadow Clones, releasing a series of skills; under the shroud of blade light, the 'Nightmare Gauge' above the Skeleton Bishop's head filled up on the spot!

It immediately fell into a Nightmare state and let out a mournful wail!

Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not deal with the twelve surrounding corpses.

He ferociously attacked the BOSS's main body, causing the 'Stripping Gauge' above its head to quickly reach 100%, putting it into a 'Stripping' state.

This caused all Superior Affixes generated by the BOSS to become completely ineffective!

All surrounding Chaos energy instantly dissipated!

The 'Chaos Gauge' above Qin Feng's head stopped increasing at 81% and began to decrease.

During this time, Qin Feng unleashed a set of Finishing Moves.

Graceful Liberation!

Crimson Blade x4!

The next instant, the health bar above the Skeleton Bishop's head dropped sharply, and in another second, it was completely emptied…

This series of operations was equivalent to a tower dive kill; the visual effect was explosive!

——

[You have killed 'Skeleton Bishop · Nibago (Diamond-Grade)'.]

[You have gained 360,000 EXP.]

[Congratulations, you have gained 200 Evolution Points!]

[You have gained 228 years of Lifespan (Tradable)…]

——

Just as the series of system prompts came in, anyone else would have been overjoyed.

However, Qin Feng frowned, realizing things were not simple.

He quickly retreated, wanting to leave the room.

But unexpectedly, the exit door had been closed!

"Damn it!"

Immediately after…

The giant Skeleton of the Bishop, over ten meters tall, suddenly exploded, and a jet-black light enveloped the entire room!

——

['Death Wither' has affected this area!]

[You will take 1% of your max HP in true damage every second (this damage ignores shields and acts directly on HP)!]

——

1% per second?

No, this was just the effect of one corpse exploding.

The reality was…

The corpses of Tejima Ichiro and the other fifty-two people had all emerged from the field, and each corpse, just like the Skeleton Bishop, exploded, releasing jet-black light that enveloped the entire room!

In other words…

Now in this room, there were a total of 53 stacks of 'Death Wither'!

Qin Feng would now take 53 instances of true damage equal to 1% of his max HP every second!

Admittedly, Qin Feng had the Damage Immunity Shield skill and nearly 80 points of the Invulnerability affix, which could resist any negative effects.

However…

With 53 instances of damage per second, his damage immunity and Invulnerability couldn't even last two seconds before breaking!

"The damage frequency is too high; damage immunity and Invulnerability are simply not enough."

"And this Death Wither damage ignores shields, acting directly on HP…"

"There are no targets with health bars in the room for me to lifesteal from…"

Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly.

Under normal circumstances, when faced with such a fatal situation, he could only go up and forcibly loot corpses, picking up as much as he could before dying.

But now, he still had one last trick up his sleeve!

Osirio gloated: "Hehehe! Human assassin, you're done for! Fortunately, I have no blood or flesh, and my whole body is made of bones, so I'm not affected by Wither. Envious, aren't you…"

"Shut up and heal me!"

While giving the order, Qin Feng raised his hand and simultaneously unleashed an area-of-effect skill towards Osirio and its twelve Bone Sword Wyvern minions—Mythic-grade · Abyss Wither Curse!

A burst of black mist instantly enveloped Osirio and its twelve minions, causing them to all wither and become listless!

Osirio widened its ghostly green eyes: "Holy sh*t! Human assassin, you're making me impotent again?! And I'm a dragon, you hear me? Have you ever heard of a dragon healing a human? Huh?"
