Chapter 500: Another Battle Against Kisla
Zhang Tianya's shield, Chen Shan's shield, Raji's battle axe, the location where Ye Yao disappeared, Sato's closed-eye profile, and those casual players who are desperately recovering.
"Everyone must be in position in two minutes."
No one speaks.
But everyone is speeding up.
Zhang Tianya popped another sugar-reducing bean into his mouth.
Raji pulled out a fourth bottle of potion—purely out of craving.
Arjun watched his actions, wanting to curse, but he no longer had the strength to do so.
......
Two minutes later.
Kisla stood in the center of the battlefield, his eighteen-meter-tall body like a mountain, casting a shadow that covered the ground within a fifty-meter radius.
It didn't move, just stood there quietly, its six blood-red eyes slowly scanning its surroundings—
That look was like looking at a group of ants who were oblivious to their own mortality and kept provoking them.
The lingering energy of chaos flowed through its bone plates, and with each breath, a faint gray mist would spew out from the gaps in the bone plates.
Its health bar is at 100%. In berserk mode, all attributes are increased by 30%.
"It's in!"
Zhang Tianya was the first to rush out.
He held his shield in front of him, and each step he took on the ground made a dull thud.
The shield, repaired by the potion, still retained a faint glow of runes, leaving an earthy yellow trail in the night.
With over 300 pounds of equipment, his own weight, and that berserker's heart—
He looked like a human tank, and the ground trembled slightly.
Chen Shan followed behind him, his shield slightly tilted, ready to take over at any moment. His eyes were fixed on Kisla's forepaws, the first part to be attacked.
Kisla raised its front paws—faster and more ferocious than before.
Take a picture of it.
"boom--!!!"
Zhang Tianya raised his shield to take the hit head-on.
The moment the shield and claws collided, a visible shockwave spread outwards, sending rubble flying more than five meters into the air.
The shockwave swept across, scraping away a layer of topsoil from the ground within a 30-meter radius.
This time, he took five steps back.
Each step left a deep footprint in the ground, with radial cracks along the edges.
But he persevered.
His health dropped by 18%—3% more than before. He's in berserk mode, and his damage is increased.
On the surface of the shield, the cracks that had just been repaired began to widen again, but it could still hold on.
"Attack now!!!"
Raji charged in from the side.
He was faster than before—the effects of the [Giant's Strength Potion] were still in effect, and the added power from the potion caused the ground to crack with every step he took.
He circled around to the BOSS's hind legs, gripped the battle axe tightly with both hands, and strained every muscle in his body to its limit—
He chopped down with an axe.
The battle axe struck Kisla's hind leg, leaving a shallow mark.
Although the BOSS has recovered its health, the "scar memory" left by the previous wave is still there, and the defensive strength of the bone plate is 10% lower than that of the intact state.
"Snap—!"
The bone plate cracked.
The cracks spread outwards from the point where the axe blade struck, with the longest crack measuring thirty centimeters.
BOSS's health bar - 98%.
It felt pain and turned to bite Raji.
Its enormous mouth opened wide, revealing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth, and chaotic energy churning deep within its throat—
But Helena's ice wall rose in time.
【Extreme Cold Barrier】, a B-rank skill, consumes 20% of her mana to summon an ice wall half a meter thick, lasting for two seconds.
An ice wall was placed in front of the BOSS, blocking its view.
In that half-second, Raj had already retreated.
He stepped back, sliding away from the BOSS's legs, taking five steps back to escape the attack range.
Chishima Rin cut in from the other side.
She was incredibly fast, so fast that ordinary players could only see a blur.
That was her talent, [Swift Step], which increased her movement speed by 50% for three seconds after activation.
The poisoned dagger pierced the gap in the bone plate—the very same cut Raj had just made.
Injection of a potent paralytic toxin.
The toxins flowed through the bloodstream throughout the body, and the BOSS paused for a moment.
0.3 seconds.
In that mere 0.3 seconds, Hattori Hanji's dagger pierced out from the shadows.
His timing was impeccable—at the very last moment before the BOSS froze, the dagger pierced the same gap, going even deeper, almost reaching the gauntlet.
Black blood splattered all over him.
The blood was corrosive, his cloak began to smoke, and his health dropped by 2% per second.
But he didn't back down; he stirred the dagger in the wound again.
The BOSS's health bar is at 97%.
It roared and swept its tail.
The tail, which was over ten meters long, swept over with a bone hammer at the end, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound—it was too fast for the naked eye to catch.
Ye Yao emerged from the shadows.
Her position was on the side of the base of her tail... that was a blind spot and the weakest point of the bony plates.
【Shadow Thorn】Pierces in.
The dagger pierced the gap in the bone plates at the base of the tail, sinking three inches deep. Then it vanished instantly, disappearing back into the shadows.
The tail swept across, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.
Isabella's [Extreme Cold Domain] unfolds.
Blue frost spread beneath the BOSS's feet, quickly climbing up its limbs...
The forelegs, hind legs, and torso—every inch of the bone plates covered in frost was coated with a layer of white frost.
The BOSS's movements slowed down noticeably.
The claw strikes that were once too fast to see are now clearly visible; the turns that used to be instantaneous now take a second to complete.
Deceleration by 45%.
"It's under control!"
"Isabella shouted, her voice trembling. Her mana bar was decreasing at a rate of 8% per second, and she could only last for five more seconds," she said.
William roared from his vantage point, "Li Weiwei, Situ Zhen... Output power!!!"
Li Weiwei gritted her teeth and raised her staff high.
She only had a little magic left—the little she had just recovered was all here.
Five fireballs coalesced like beads, each the size of a washbasin, and hurtled toward the BOSS's head with long trails of flame.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
Five fireballs exploded on the side of the BOSS's face, scattering sparks and illuminating half of its face.
Flames burned its eyes—the damage was low, but the blinding effect lasted for 0.5 seconds.
Situ Zhen's ice spike followed closely behind.
Three icicles shot in a triangular formation toward the same wound—the one Raj had cut.
Two hit the mark, one missed.
BOSS's health bar - 95%.
But it also began to fight back.
It no longer simply slaps and bites, but opens its mouth and spews out a chaotic energy—not aimed at a specific person, but sweeping across.
A gray-black energy column swept across a 180-degree fan-shaped area, corroding the ground in its path and leaving a deep, scorched trench.
"hide!!!"
The crowd dispersed.
Most people hid.
