Chapter 77: This BOSS Is Absolutely Impossible to Fight |
“Um... Father Matthew, you still remember me, right...? I even supported your business before. Don’t you think there might be some misunderstanding between us?”
Looking at Father Matthew, who was currently condensing a Sacred Light spear in his hand, Lilith attempted to play the emotional card.
Matthew did not say anything in response and merely accelerated the spear’s formation silently.
“Wait....”
“I have something to say!”
Vivian’s brain spun rapidly as she grasped the key reason why she was being hunted.
“I hid that item in a very secret place! If I die, you’ll never be able to find it!”
Hearing Vivian’s words, Matthew forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart.
“Tell me where the item is, and I can spare your lives.”
However, she could not show that outwardly.
“Um..... at least... you should show some sincerity first...”
As she spoke, Vivian pointed toward the Sacred Light spear in Matthew’s hand.
“Sincerity?”
Father Matthew sneered.
“Stop playing these little tricks in front of me. Speak immediately, or die!”
Seeing Father Matthew prepare to throw the spear, Vivian’s heart tightened.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
Faced with Father Matthew, who refused to waste even a single extra word, Vivian felt indescribably bitter inside.
“Um... approximately... maybe... where was it again? Let me think...”
“Heh?” Father Matthew sneered coldly.
Hearing this, Vivian’s heart completely sank.
Clearly, Father Matthew had no intention of giving her any opportunity to stall for time.
“Wait... I really have something important to say! You definitely won’t regret hearing it!”
“Wait? Do you think I’ll give you time to delay things while waiting for reinforcements?”
“Um... speaking weakly for a moment, I’m not waiting for reinforcements...” Vivian’s voice rang out.
However, compared to the panic from before, Vivian’s tone had clearly changed.
This caused Father Matthew’s movements to pause slightly as he frowned faintly.
Clearly, Father Matthew also noticed Vivian’s change.
I’m waiting for Lord Evil God...
The familiar sensation returned. Vivian, whose body had once again been controlled, silently added the sentence in her heart.
.......
“Holy crap, things are this intense the instant I log in?”
The moment he opened the game, Jiang Chen immediately blurted out in shock.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Chen instantly activated his skill.
The next moment, everything around him seemed to have been frozen in time.
Looking at the incoming Sacred Light spear, Jiang Chen broke out in cold sweat.
“You trash developers, does this mean if I logged in even one second later, I’d suddenly receive a character death notification for no reason?!”
At this point, Jiang Chen finally understood why the ranking rewards were so generous.
This stuff was genuinely hard to obtain.
Although his mind was filled with complaints, Jiang Chen still had to resolve the immediate danger first.
“First priority is avoiding damage.”
Looking at the spear flying toward him, even while Jiang Chen was under the special state of Montage Technique, the spear’s speed still was not slow.
Watching the spear grow closer and closer, with faint lightning effects visible around it, Jiang Chen controlled Vivian to sidestep.
Watching the spear barely brush past her shoulder—
“What the hell is this damage?”
The moment the words fell, Vivian stretched out a finger and experimentally touched the lightning region surrounding the spear.
Immediately afterward....
It hurts!!
The piercing pain caused Vivian to cry out instantly.
Lord Evil God, what are you doing!!!
Vivian felt speechless toward the Evil God’s itchy-handed behavior.
Seriously... was this something you could casually touch because your hands felt itchy?
Quickly retracting her hand, an HP potion had somehow already appeared in it.
-76
Seeing this number, Jiang Chen sucked in a cold breath and contributed slightly toward warming up his bedroom.
“Damn it, I only barely brushed against it and it still dealt nearly a hundred damage?!”
His gaze shifted toward Matthew as Jiang Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
【Matthew, Six-Ring (Pseudo) BOSS】
【HP: 13000/13000】
Originally, after seeing Matthew’s status panel, Jiang Chen thought he was merely a somewhat strong BOSS—not impossible to fight.
Especially after noticing the “Pseudo” behind Six-Ring.
According to this game’s settings, Six-Ring was considered a major dividing line. The difference in strength between Six-Ring and Five-Ring was enormous.
Thus, advancing to Six-Ring was extremely difficult.
So the game creating this so-called “Pseudo Six-Ring” felt utterly pointless to Jiang Chen.
Five-Ring was Five-Ring. Six-Ring was Six-Ring.
What was the point of making this awkward half-step tier? Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
Now it seemed he had been naïve.
This “Pseudo” referred to disguise, not some awkward in-between level.
“No, if even your Six-Ring is fake, then what’s your real level supposed to be?”
“I’ll test the waters first.”
Jiang Chen decided to observe the situation first.
The next moment, the Blood-Red Scythe appeared in his hand.
Immediately afterward...
-13
-19
........
“Holy mother of grass!”
These numbers completely stunned Jiang Chen.
One had to know that with Misty Moon Dream equipped, when fighting the Octopus Monster yesterday, each strike dealt two to three hundred damage.
And now it was difficult to even break twenty.
“There’s absolutely no way to fight this thing!”
However, at that very moment, a gigantic cross descended from the sky.
Jiang Chen instantly controlled Vivian to leap backward.
Accompanied by a massive roar, a huge cross had already slammed into the place where Vivian had just been standing.
This scene also frightened Jiang Chen badly.
One had to know that his skill duration was currently still active.
Yet even under this state, this BOSS could still effectively retaliate.
Moreover, the speed of the skill had already reached the normal casting speed Ross displayed during their previous battle against Ross’s projection.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately widened the distance.
Then he turned his gaze behind him.
The wall at the dead-end alley behind them already had a massive hole blasted through it.
“Run!”
Jiang Chen instantly made the most correct judgment possible.
Then his gaze landed on Lilith nearby, who currently stood there like a statue.
And then he directly picked Lilith up onto his back and ran.
If not for considering that this NPC might be a Main Quest NPC, Jiang Chen honestly would not even have bothered bringing her along.
Although Vivian had not abandoned her while escaping earlier, Lilith currently did not feel happy whatsoever.
Before she could even react, Lilith suddenly felt her body become light.
Immediately afterward, she discovered that somehow she had already appeared on Vivian’s back.
Then a violent gale struck her face.
During Montage Technique’s duration, Vivian herself would not suffer any effects.
But Lilith was different.
At Vivian’s current speed, Lilith felt as though she were trapped inside a hurricane.
The sensation resembled having a powerful industrial blower aimed directly at her face, instantly destroying all control over her facial expressions.
Watching the surrounding buildings blur into afterimages as they sped past, Lilith deeply experienced the meaning of “the body runs ahead while the soul chases behind.”
Lilith felt utterly miserable.
“Vivian, stop! I’m gonna die!!”
