Chapter 426: Devil? Varvis

[Holy Light Corrosive Potion]: Target’s Defense decreases by 50%, and the effect lasts for 1 hour. If the target is a Holy Light creature, its attributes will decrease by 90%, and it will be unable to attack or use any skills.

The Holy Light Corrosive Potion was really the nemesis of Paladins and Priests. It directly sealed 90% of all attributes and their skills, thus being unable to attack.

It was no wonder why the Holy Church had directly tasked Lin Jie with the Main Plot Mission after seeing the Holy Light Corrosive Potion.

After opening the potion, the rich potion smell gushed out—it was a corrosive scent that could make one fall into darkness. Lin Jie threw the potion towards the Boss. In an instant, the potion turned into a thick and dense dark yellow fog, as though it was a canopy from heaven which covered the Boss!

Pish—

White smoke could be seen emitting from the Boss profusely as though a soldering iron was put in ice water, sending shivers down one’s spine. As the Holy Light Corrosive Potion took effect, the Boss’ body was also weakened, the blood, muscles, and bones underneath his skin were all melted. They formed a hideous and disgusting stream of bloody flesh and broken parts of the bones, which flowed out. The Boss’ whole body was like a deflated balloon, becoming shriveled.

There was no sign of that original amiable and divine figure at all. It was just human skin and even wrinkled at that.

-1,080,000!

All attributes were reduced by 90%, which naturally included the upper limit of his health points. Everyone was astonished when they saw that the Boss’ health points, which were as high as 1,200,000, directly shrunk until only a small bar of health points was left. Dumb Fox and the other two guild leaders looked at Lin Jie as if they were looking at a monster! Just a bottle of potion was able to cause the Boss to shrivel up so much. A bottle of potion reduced 1,000,000 of the Boss’ Health Points in an instant.

That was simply unbelievable!

“Ahhhhhhh!” The Boss suffered from great pain as his face went pale, his eyeballs popped out, and the bones on his face pierced through the skin and were exposed to the outside. It was simply a terrifying sight.

The Boss waved his staff, wanting to regen himself, but it was impossible for him to do so! He was unable to use any skills as he was infected by the Holy Light Corrosive Potion.

When the Boss was a Priest, his recovery ability and battling powers were both extremely formidable. However, for each skill, as long as one observed carefully and found the weakness, then they could avoid it with precise and skillful maneuvering. It would just be a matter of time before the Boss in Priest stage would die.

The aim of the Boss in this stage was not to kill the players but to deplete their energy! The battle with the Boss in Priest form would last, at least, 10 hours.

The Boss was the last character of the Holy Light Temple. Naturally, he was special in many ways. For example… secretly using the Paladin’s Lay on Hands, and it could be used without a cooldown. The consumption of mana for the Boss in Priest form was quite high, but he had a total of 50,000 mana points! Unless the Boss’ mana was used up, he would not enter the second form!

After tens of hours of high-intensity battle, who would have the energy to fight the Boss in Devil form? Then it would only result in them being wiped out and thrown out of the dungeon.

“Kill!”

Lin Jie pondered for a moment before saying, “Use normal attacks.”

He swung his Broken Blade, and Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner was released. He slashed the Boss, which was nearly powerless, with all attributes reduced by 90%. However, the attack was rebounded the instant it touched his skin, only leaving a shallow cut where no blood was even spilled.

That Priest was originally a Devil, so the hardness of his physical body was unbelievably high. Also, the Holy Light Corrosive Potion could not prevent the usage of passive skills. Thus, when damage was dealt to the tip of the Boss’ head, a healing light ray descended onto him and recovered the Boss’ health points.

[Self-Healing]: When attacked, there is a 60% chance of healing oneself and recovering 1,500 points of health. The next Healing Effect would increase by 10% without any mana consumption, lasting for 3 seconds. Every self-recovery consumes 100 points of mana.

After a round of attacks, the Boss’ health points only dropped by 4,000 as the healing light ray kept on flashing.

Even if the final Boss was weakened by the Holy Light Corrosive Potion, his self-recovery abilities were also very powerful. However, only his self-regeneration ability was powerful, that’s it.

The speed of clearing the Boss was slow because everyone used normal attacks to deal damage, only occasionally releasing one or two skills. Their aim was to maintain full status and face the Boss’ final form in their best state.

As time went by, the old Priest finally could not take the bombardment from everyone and crouched onto the ground.

“He died?”

“Be careful! Step back!”

Just at the moment, the Boss knelt onto the ground, a sound like that of bats’ high-pitched screeches could be heard from within the Boss.

The robe on the Boss’ back was suddenly ripped into shreds and exploded as strange pitch-black Bats of Darkness actually bit through the muscles of the old Priest’s back and flew out one after another. They gathered to form a pair of Devil’s wings that were as black as ink.

The Devil flapped its wings, and the old Priest’s body flew into the sky, his limbs, body, and head all exploded and transformed into the shape of a giant Devil form!

A Devil’s Spear, which was three meters long, gathered in front of it, absorbing the whole body of the old Priest. There was a Holy Light Corrosive Potion inside the old Priest’s body, so that kind of fallen strength was naturally converted into additional power for the Devil’s Spear.

“Infusing items that increase Strength, channeling materials, equipment, and so on to the Boss when it transforms into Devil Form” was the condition to trigger the Hero-Level! Killing that Devil would officially clear all the Hero-Level Bosses and would obtain an additional precious Skill Point.

[Devil•Varvis] (Overlord)

Level: 45

Health Points: 2,000,000

Attack: 2,839-3,584

Defense:1,800

Special Feature: Devil’s Scaly Armor, Devil’s Spear, Devil Form.

[Devil’s Scaly Armor]: The Devil shall have Devil’s Scaly Armor to protect its body. When the Devil’s Scaly Armor is present, it provides immunity to all damage and increases Δefense by 500 points. When the Devil’s Scaly Armor receives damage, it will allow the Devil to enter the Devil’s Sprint state (Movement Speed increases by 300%)

[Devil’s Spear]: The Devil shall have the Devil’s Spear. When the Devil’s Spear is present, there wιll be additional 50% Life-Steal, 100% Attack Speed enhancement, and the Devil wιll be able to shoot out spear rays to deal AOE damage to enemies within a 15 yards radius.

[Devil Form]: Immunity to all control skills, immunity to Dark-type damage, 35% damage reduction.

“Ahahahahaha…” The Devil puffed up his chest, and his laughter resounded through the room as if it were decadent music from hell. The sound waves were materialized as they traveled through the room, causing everyone’s attributes to directly decrease by 10%. Bu Yi’s Dispel divine spell had no effect as the grade of the Devil was too high.

“The Boss has a total of 200 scales, each piece is 10,000 HP. The Boss will not receive any damage until the Scaly Armor breaks. Use single-target skills and aim with all your might! Every time we attack together, we must destroy a scale, we cannot let the Boss trigger the Devil’s Sprint,” shouted Lin Jie in a low voice.

The battle powers of the final Boss were naturally strong, not to mention its fearsome Attack as high as 3500+, even the Boss’ Defense was at a BUG-like level.

Savage Blade members’ explosive damage output was decreased to around 200, and that was already due to the curses of the Spellcaster of Curse Abstruse Gray Wind, or else they wouldn’t even be able to penetrate the Boss’ Defense!

Was it possible that the Boss was sent by the system just to torture people? Of course not!

When the dungeon was released, it was emphasized again and again that what the third Main Plot Dungeon focused on was clues, details! The Boss’ two special features seemed to be indestructible, extremely formidable in others’ eyes as one increased an additional 2,000,000 health points, while the other enhanced Life-Steal and Attack Speed.

However, there were conditions for the enhancement, it would only take effect “in this state”.

Mixed Breathless, The Heavenly Shield, and Inksnow, the three Shield Specialists charged towards the Boss, but no one dared to attack. The damage Shield Specialists could cause may be extremely low, but they could still trigger the effect of Devil’s Scaly Armor, causing the Boss’ Movement Speed to be increased by 300%. If the Boss rushed into the crowd, then no one would be able to stop it!

Due to that, the three Shield Specialists could only use “Taunt” to attract aggro.

“I’ll go first! Mixed Breathless, you are the only Shield Specialist that went through job-change, when everyone is attacking, you will use Shield Strike to attract aggro. Before the Devil’s Scaly Armor is destroyed, all attacks would not be able to attract aggro from the Boss, only us Shield Specialists have the skills to do that. Before the Boss’ Scaly Armor disappears, we must accumulate enough aggro,” said Inksnow.

As the best Shield Specialist in a major guild, it was really difficult for her to give up the most important position to someone else. There was an unspoken rule between Shield Specialists that whoever took the most damage and had the best performance would have priority if Defense equipment was dropped.

It could be seen in that instant from Mixed Breathless’ eyes that he was moved by Inksnow’s actions. He nodded and said, “Alright!”

“B*stard!” Inksnow used Taunt, and the Devil’s eyes turned all red. The Devil was instantly pulled by Inksnow, and the Devil’s Spear pierced straight at her.

Right before the attack was about to be blocked by the shield, the spear cunningly changed directions and attacked Inksnow from the other direction. If the attack landed, then the spear would pierce through Inksnow’s head! Without the defense from the shield, the Boss’ attack would instantly kill her!

“Fortress of the Mind!”

-3,948!

The Heavenly Shield activated Intervene and blocked an attack for Inksnow. In that instant, The Heavenly Shield’s Health bar dropped dangerously low! His whole body trembled as he mumbled, “Such high damage?”

“The Boss has enhancement from his hidden attributes and his equipment, it’s no wonder that he could deal such high damage,” shouted Lin Jie in a low voice. “Stop daydreaming! Old Shield retreat, Inksnow your turn, Childe use Hunter’s Mark. Everyone, remember to use your strongest single-target magic spell, we must directly destroy one scale instantly. We cannot touch other parts nor have insufficient damage output. Otherwise, the Boss will trigger Devil’s Sprint, and we won’t be far from being wiped out.”

This was a battle that allowed almost no tolerance for mistakes!

One false move may result in them being wiped out.

The Hunter’s Mark had already been locked on to the nail of the Boss’ middle finger on his right claw. There was a small scale that must be hit accurately and in one shot!

“Attack!”

After a long preparation, Lin Jie finally spoke that word. A slash of Blade Aura accompanied by fireballs, sharp icicles, arrows, and Arcane spells…

Everyone aimed for the nail of the Boss’ middle finger as they released their attacks!
