Chapter 1 What's Going On?

Bai Ye looked at the progress榜 on the stone tablet, completely unable to believe it was real.

A Grand Lord was equivalent to a Boss in a team dungeon, with high defense and difficult to deal with.

Just like the Blackrock Leader in front of her, who had already used three major skills, making him very difficult to handle.

The first was the passive skill Stone Skin, where the lower the health, the higher the defense and magic resistance. The second was the single-target attack skill Flame Charge, which randomly attacked a target on the field at extreme speed, potentially resulting in instant death if not handled properly. The third skill was the large-area skill Rock Rain, requiring players to face falling rocks. Getting hit by just one rock would cause at least 10,000 points of health loss. Facing it alone, without any healing support, relying solely on healing potions to recover health was extremely difficult.

Due to these three skills, it was already difficult for players to protect themselves, let alone quickly deplete the Boss's health.

Just as Bai Ye was thinking this, the progress榜 suddenly changed drastically after a short period, dropping directly from 82% to 78%, almost matching Shang Bu Yan's 72%.

"The health is dropping so fast, he must have used a powerful magic scroll." Shang Bu Yan also noticed the change on the progress榜, but he didn't feel any tension. Instead, he smiled and said, "What a pity, young people are too impulsive. The Blackrock Leader isn't an easy Boss to deal with. Using his trump cards so early will only make it more difficult later."

He also had explosive methods, just like Bai Ye, but he wasn't using them yet.

For a Boss like the Blackrock Leader, the lower the health, the harder it was to deal with. The correct strategy was to wear it down in the early stages and unleash a burst of damage later, shortening the time to deal with the Boss in the later stages, making it easier to clear.

But Shi Feng, wanting to catch up to them as quickly as possible, used a large number of precious items. On the surface, it seemed to make up for the time gap, but it was actually a self-inflicted trap. In the end, he might not even be able to kill the Boss. After all, any Boss would have a burst of power when its health was low, and failing to withstand it would result in a team wipe.

Time passed second by second.

Although the Boss's health on Shi Feng's side was dropping dramatically, the rate of decline was decreasing. It was no longer dropping by four or five percent at a time, but by about two percent. In the end, it was only dropping by one percent.

It continued until the Boss's health was left at 42%, and then it completely slowed down.

"Impatient for victory, he's finished now." Bai Ye looked at the progress bar and smiled slightly. Although being surpassed by Shi Feng and ranking second was a bit annoying, seeing that Shi Feng's progress bar wasn't decreasing much made her feel somewhat smug.

According to her plan, she would only truly take action when the Boss's health dropped to 20%. After all, the Level 44 Blackrock Leader had 36 million health points, and with the issues of defense and magic resistance in the later stages, it wasn't suitable to unleash a burst of damage too early.

Moreover, this was only the second floor, and the real inheritance was on the third floor. She had to save enough trump cards to obtain the rewards of the second floor and seize the inheritance of the third floor.

On the other side, Shi Feng also used up the last of his carried Tier 2 or higher attack-type magic scrolls.

"The health only dropped to 40%, defense increased by 50%, and magic resistance increased by 70%. As expected of a gatekeeper Boss, this increase is truly astonishing." Shi Feng controlled the Abyssal Blade Demon while evaluating the Blackrock Leader's defense and magic resistance growth. "But it's time to unleash a burst of damage."

To catch up with Bai Ye and Shang Bu Yan, he used up all the Tier 2 and Tier 3 magic scrolls he had in reserve at once.

However, the main reason he used magic scrolls to deal with the Boss was to buy time and wait for his skills to cool down.

Then, Shi Feng activated Dark Light, increasing all attributes by 60%.

Nine Dragon Slash!

Abyssal Curse!

The Level 50 Blackrock Leader had 44 million health points, which was much more powerful than the Blackrock Leaders Bai Ye and Shang Bu Yan were facing. However, facing Shi Feng, who had activated his burst skills, their strength attributes were now similar.

But the Abyssal Curse immediately reduced the Blackrock Leader's attributes by 10% for five minutes, and its health immediately decreased by 10%. Its strength was now equal to Shi Feng's.

"Die!" Shi Feng immediately used Flame Spirit Storm.

A wave of fire storm rose from the ground, causing the Blackrock Leader's health to drop madly at a rate of 150,000 per second. A critical hit would deal over 300,000 damage. The Abyssal Blade Demon also used its Tier 2 ultimate skill, Purgatory Onslaught, which could take away over 120,000 health points with each strike. A critical hit would deal over 240,000 damage. It unleashed six consecutive strikes, and the twelve Abyssal Shadow clones also continuously attacked the Blackrock Leader, dealing 5,000 damage with each strike, totaling 60,000 damage per wave of attacks.

In just six seconds, the Blackrock Leader's health dropped by nearly 8%.

After a wave of Flame Spirit Storm, Shi Feng activated Phantom Kill, and both his main body and his clones actively charged forward.

Wind Lightning Flash!

Blazing Lightning Explosion!

With the Abyssal Blade Demon acting as a shield and support, tens of thousands of points of damage flew up one after another. Although it wasn't as satisfying as using Tier 2 magic scrolls, the rate of health loss wasn't slow either.

In just a short while, the Blackrock Leader's health dropped below 30%, while Bai Ye and the others' Boss's health had only dropped to 56%. The difference between them was obvious.

"How can his speed still be so fast?" Bai Ye looked at Shi Feng's progress bar and couldn't help but be surprised. "Doesn't he plan to challenge the third floor?"

"Madman, he really is a little madman." Shang Bu Yan was also a little nervous when he saw the progress bar.

Shi Feng's actions had disrupted his plans.

As the largest inheritance site in the Sea Dragon Secret Realm, the rewards on the second floor should be very good.

But if Shi Feng continued like this, he might really get the rewards on the second floor by using all his trump cards. After all, the gap between them was too big. If it continued to widen, he would definitely miss out on the rewards of the second floor.

Whether to fight or not, Shang Bu Yan hesitated.

"Damn it, he actually dared to disrupt my plan!" Since entering God's Domain, Shang Bu Yan had encountered something so out of his control for the first time. His expression turned cold as he said, "Want to compete with me? Come back in ten years!"

As Shang Bu Yan spoke, he took out two Tier 3 magic scrolls, one was a domain-type scroll that he had treasured, and the other was a Tier 3 summoning scroll.

Immediately, two Tier 3 summoned beasts attacked the Blackrock Leader, and with the addition of the Tier 3 domain attack, the Blackrock Leader began to lose health rapidly.

In just a moment, he surpassed Bai Ye and became second place.

"This old guy is also crazy. Since he wants to fight, then let's see who has the deeper reserves." Bai Ye gritted her teeth and then took out an orange-red crystal ball and a pile of magic scrolls.

As Bai Ye chanted, the orange-red crystal ball disappeared. Then, a magic array formed around the Blackrock Leader, causing the Blackrock Leader's attributes to drop crazily. It was quickly suppressed to only 70% of its attributes, and its defense and magic resistance were also greatly weakened.

In the blink of an eye, a full ten Tier 2 summoned beasts appeared beside Bai Ye and began to attack the Blackrock Leader madly.

The burst of damage from Shang Bu Yan and Bai Ye allowed their progress to increase rapidly.

Of course, when Shi Feng's side was left with 15%, Bai Ye and Shang Bu Yan's progress was left with 25% and 26% respectively, not far apart.

"They're catching up really fast." Shi Feng glanced at the progress bar, smiled slightly, and then took out a few Beginner Mana Pulse Bombs from his backpack and threw them directly at the Blackrock Leader.

Each Beginner Mana Pulse Bomb had the power comparable to a Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic. Even Mythic monsters would suffer considerable damage if hit. For Grand Lord-level monsters, one bomb could cause heavy damage.

Shi Feng threw down six bombs in one breath.

In an instant, before the Blackrock Leader could even use its ultimate skill, its health was left with just over 1%. Shi Feng used Silent Steps to appear behind the Blackrock Leader, and the swords in his hands ignited with scorching flames.

Flame Burst!

Fifteen consecutive strikes, each dealing at least 60,000 damage, directly devoured the Blackrock Leader's remaining health.

From Bai Ye and Shang Bu Yan's perspective, Shi Feng's progress bar only jumped slightly, and then the Boss's remaining health was gone...

"What's going on?"

"How did the Boss die!"

"Is he cheating?"
