Chapter 121 The Actor's Self-Cultivation
Moonfall's brain has crashed.
As the top scout of the Moon Goddess's Radiance Guild, he has experienced countless life-or-death battles.
He has infiltrated the most dangerous dragon's lair and assassinated enemy commanders amidst a vast army.
His will had long been tempered to be as hard as steel, and his nerves were more resilient than the finest magic threads.
But now, he feels that his worldview, along with the will he was so proud of, is collapsing and shattering inch by inch.
Skill?
What skill can make monsters give up attacking and kneel down en masse?
Mind control spells have limitations on range and quantity, and they produce intense magical fluctuations.
That couldn't escape his eyes.
Racial talent?
He was a noble elven god, born with "natural affinity" that could soothe some lowly beasts.
But that was just "appeasement," and it was completely different from the scene before us that was almost like "the descent of gods and the worship of all spirits"!
"Click...click click..."
The skeletons remained kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear from the depths of their souls.
Chen You ignored the group of elves behind him who were beginning to question their existence, and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.
He was too lazy to do it again.
These monsters give very little experience and have an abysmal drop rate, so killing them is a complete waste of time.
On the contrary, it will expose more of their abilities.
Anyway, there's no forced monster-clearing mechanism in the normal mode of the Tomb of a Thousand Lights, so you can just go straight to the final boss.
Thus, the most bizarre scene in history appeared in the tomb passage, which was regarded as a "corridor to the underworld" by all adventurers in Thousand Light City.
A man dressed in a black robe embroidered with starlight walked at the front, strolling leisurely with his robes fluttering in the wind. Behind him, starlight particles trailed behind him, creating a dazzling galaxy in the dark passageway.
Behind him, four elite scouts of the Moon Goddess's Radiance followed closely, like the most loyal guards, not daring to breathe too loudly.
On both sides of the passageway, there were countless skeletal soldiers, earthbound spirits, and rotting abominations...
Without exception, all the undead creatures remained in a prostrate position, trembling with fear.
The atmosphere was extremely comfortable.
From initial shock to numbness, and now only endless bitterness remains in the hearts of Yue Luoji and the others.
Is this... the difference?
While they were still basking in the glory of a perfect dungeon run or a precise skill combo, others were already enjoying the monsters' voluntary worship.
How can we play like this?
Speechless all the way.
Soon, the group arrived at the main hall at the deepest part of the mausoleum.
In the center of the hall, there still stood that enormous creature, over five meters tall.
Level 25 Elite Lord, Skeleton General - Meng Hun!
Upon seeing the BOSS, Yueluoji and the others instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.
This is a lord!
An existence with independent will and strong conviction cannot be easily intimidated like those minor monsters!
Sure enough, when Meng Hun saw Chen You, his tall body trembled violently, and the soul fire in his eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he was also under tremendous pressure.
But it was, after all, a lord, and through its own obsession, it managed to resist the fear that came from the depths of its soul.
"roar--!"
Meng Hun let out a roar, and a terrible aura suddenly erupted!
"alert!"
Moonfallen almost instinctively let out a low growl.
The elven scouts behind him reacted instantly, quickly spreading out and forming a standard battle diamond formation.
The archer drew his bow, and the assassin's dagger glowed with a poisoned green light.
All eyes were fixed on Meng Hun, bracing for a fierce battle.
They had naturally fought this boss before.
Extremely difficult to deal with!
It has high health, high attack, and a ranged fear roar and a "Soul Severing Slash" that can instantly kill squishy targets.
Even with their elite squad of average level 28, working in perfect harmony and using all their potions, it still takes at least forty to fifty seconds.
It might take a minute to wear them down, and you still have to be constantly on guard against losing manpower.
Just as Yue Luoji was about to remind Chen You how to cooperate with the team, he found that Chen You had already moved.
There were no world-destroying skills as imagined, nor were there any overwhelming golden talismans.
Chen You made a fist with his right hand, and a simple, unassuming longsword appeared in his hand.
Ascension Sword.
Moonfall's pupils contracted.
What does he want to do?
Just as Yue Luoji was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Chen You arrived.
There was no opening stance, no spiritual energy radiance.
He simply rushed forward in one stride.
"clang!!"
Meng Hun roared and swung his powerful sword, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, but Chen You easily parried it.
The immense force caused the air to explode with a loud bang, but Chen You remained completely still.
Immediately afterward, amidst the stunned gazes of all the elven gods, Chen You began his "attack".
One sword.
Another sword strike.
With unremarkable slashes, simple parries, and the occasional well-timed sidestep, he dodged Meng Hun's storm of attacks.
There were no tactics.
There wasn't even any movement.
Direct, stationary output!
He just stood there, exchanging blows with the BOSS.
What... what are they doing? Gua sha?
The moment the thought crossed Yue Luoji's mind, he saw Meng Hun's health bar rapidly decreasing above his head.
[-1889]!
[-1903]!
[-1895]!
……
A series of steady four-digit damage numbers nearly made Moonfall's eyes pop out of their sockets.
This is what they call Gua Sha?!
This damage... is even higher than the damage of their team's main DPS's full-burst attack!
Time passed second by second.
five seconds...
ten seconds...
Sixteen seconds later.
With a mournful cry of despair, the colossal skeletal general Meng Hun crashed to the ground, shattering into a pile of bone fragments.
Ding.
A pile of loot, shimmering with green and white light, dropped out.
The entire main hall fell into a deathly silence once again.
Every single one of the elites of the Moon Goddess's Radiance stood rooted to the spot like a wooden stake.
The expression on his face could no longer be described as shock; it was a bewildered and stunned look, as if his worldview had been turned upside down.
Sixteen seconds.
A level 25 elite boss is gone.
Moonfall felt his throat was as dry as if he hadn't drunk water for three days.
He swallowed hard and asked in a hoarse voice:
"President Chen... Chairman Chen..."
He wanted to ask, "What kind of skill is this?"
Is it some kind of forbidden technique that temporarily converts all attributes into attack power?
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring himself to ask the question.
Chen You slowly turned around, looking at the group of elves who seemed to have been struck by lightning, a perfectly appropriate look of confusion on his face.
"Um?"
He was internally complaining.
Damn it, this Ascension Sword is really no good. It takes more than ten seconds to kill a boss in a normal dungeon. My hands are getting sore.
Jade Emperor is still the best; it kills in one shot.
His actions were well-intentioned, aimed at making it easier for people to accept.
Moonfall Base took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and with all his might, squeezed out a question:
"May I ask... what kind of profound sword technique did you just use?"
Upon hearing this, Chen You pretended to be stunned for a moment.
I thought to myself: What kind of swordsmanship is that? It's just a basic attack!
But he wouldn't say that out loud.
I want you to guess!
He looked at Yueluoji's eager, even slightly humble, expression and replied in a slightly displeased tone:
"I told you."
"Feel it for yourself, don't ask."
