Ultimate Boss!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
James Williams immediately activated the active skill of the Sisley Ring on his finger, Bloodlust Rage. Coincidentally, he had lost a lot of HP from the battle with the Demon Knight. Therefore, the wizard's continuous summon of the skeleton soldiers was equivalent to replenishing James Willliams' HP.
Once he was done replenishing his HP, he used a few skills to wipe out the skeleton soldiers. Unfortunately, no good equipment was dropped.
As he went deeper, the number of skeleton soldiers inside started to decrease. Instead, they were replaced by people with flesh and blood. To be precise, they were already dead. However, they had yet to turn into skeletons and were called the "undead".
They moved quickly. Although their attacks were not powerful, their passive skill, Madness, would be triggered when they received damage. When an enemy within 200 yards attacked them, their attack, agility, defense, and HP would all increase by 40%. In the outside world, they would be considered as a mini-boss.
Normally, if a union could make it this far, it would be considered one of the best. If one person's HP was not healthy, the coordination between the teams would become problematic, and the entire team would be wiped out.
James Williams and his two pets were long-range players. They attracted the aggro of the undead from 200 yards away.
A few minutes passed. James Williams and his two pets brought a large group of undead to a hall that was filled with skeletons.
The hall was similar to the outside of the camp. A cold wind blew, bringing with it waves of wailing sounds as if it was announcing death.
In the hall, there was a dark brown box that looked like a mummy. There were fine patterns carved on it, and there were dead branches and leaves scattered on the ground.
Suddenly, the dark brown box was pushed open from the inside, as if a huge force had forced the box to crack.
Looking closely, a humanoid monster that was nearly three meters tall appeared in front of James Williams. Its entire body was dry, and it was wrapped in bandages. Some parts that were not covered by the bandages were emitting a terrifying green light.
[Demon Mummy]
[Type: Boss]
[Attack: 352]
[Level: 20]
[HP: 20,000]
[Skills: Bandage Sweep, Blood Devouring, and Corpse Poison Mist.]
[Description: A failed creation of a top-tier mage who was then exiled to the Evil Faction. Later, it was transformed by the Chelsea Demons of the demon race into a mummy that guarded Dark Swamp. When a living creature approached it, Corpse Poison Mist would be emitted from its body, causing the person to become an undead.]
Looking at the boss who had three skills, James Williams felt that it was not ordinary. He had to take it seriously.
Little Orange and Little Green quickly spread out from James William's body and formed a triangle. They began to attack the Demon Mummy.
- 452!
- 296!
- 254!
The Demon Mummy's defense was not very high, but it had a lot of HP. James Williams quickly cast Voodoo Barrier and activated Voodoo Domain.
In an instant, the monsters in the cave were affected by the Voodoo Domain's buff and were trapped in the Voodoo Domain. Little Green's Corrosive Fangs and James Williams' Voodoo Domain double attack caused the Demon Mummy's HP to drop rapidly. On the contrary, the damage dealt to him was almost negligible.
In just a few seconds, the Demon Mummy's HP had dropped by half.
"Blood Devouring! Undead, give up your flesh and blood!"
The Demon Mummy, who had lost half of its HP, stretched out its bandages. The bandages emitted green light, and its HP was increasing rapidly.
+ 600!
+ 786!
...
Looking at the Demon Mummy, which had recovered its HP, James Williams gritted his teeth. The monsters he had killed had all become tools for the boss to recover its HP.
However, when its HP was fully recovered, the monsters that had died on the ground had all disappeared. It seemed that this skill could not be used all the time.
"Bandage Sweep!" The Demon Mummy once again released its skill. This skill seemed to be meant for group attacks. It dealt area-of-effect damage, and the two bandages on its hands suddenly grew longer.
It began to attack from both sides. Once hit, the damage received would be doubled!
Looking at the cave with nowhere to hide, James Williams thought that he could only take it head-on.
- 860!
- 430!
In an instant, his HP was reduced by an astonishing half. There was no other way now. James Williams looked at the cooldown of the ring's skill, Bloodlust Rage. There were 30 seconds left.
As long as he could survive these 30 seconds, he would be able to recover his HP.
The surrounding monsters were also attacking Little Green, Little Orange, and James Williams. Although their attacks were not high, they were still constantly losing HP.
- 75!
- 89!
- 49!
James Williams could only attack and dodge at the same time.
"Corpse Poison Mist!" shouted the Demon Mummy. Following that, its body emitted waves of emerald-green mist. If one inhaled this mist for a long time, their soul would be absorbed and they would become its puppet, an undead.
- 50!
- 50!
- 50!
As his HP decreased bit by bit, James Williams started feeling a little anxious. He looked at the cooldown time that was about to end.
3 seconds!
2 seconds!
1 second!
Bloodlust Rage activated! James touched the Sisley Ring. Suddenly, his body began to emit a milky white glow.
Defense + 100!
Attack + 100!
Agility + 50!
Looking at the Corpse Poison Mist released by the Demon Mummy, one after another, the undead carried knives and rushed towards James Williams from the dense fog around him.
However, at this moment, Little Green and Little Orange's HP was almost drained. If they died, it would take them five hours to resurrect.
Just in time! James Williams smiled. Time for his performance!
- 46!
- 50!
+ 30, + 30, + 30!
...
Just like that, although their HP was still decreasing, the recovery was faster!
30 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
James Williams' HP was fully recovered. Little Green and Little Orange, who were bound by the Divine Beast System, also recovered a large amount of HP.
Their status had been fully restored!
Seeing that it could not kill the man in front of it, the Demon Mummy once again released its skill, Bandage Sweep!
James Williams felt a sense of despair as he looked at the skill. If he took the skill head on this time, it would not be long before he died. Without the buff from Bloodlust Rage, he would not be able to clear the dungeon.
Could it be that he was really going to be a joke to the people of the Novice Village?
Could it be that what the others said was true, that he would not be able to get the first clear?
At this moment.
[Ding!]
[You have triggered the only passive skill, Evasion, of the middle-level gold boots!]
In an instant, James Williams' body was like a phantom, and the Bandage Sweep attack passed through his body.
