Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 211 The Power Sword's "Severe Damage" Setting

[Battle Prompt: Your mental strength has stopped the spread of the [Demon Plague], resulting in a loss of 1092 health points!]

……

At that moment, I truly experienced the existence of the demon. Just a second ago, my mental power genuinely clashed with a wisp of remaining demonic power, and ultimately prevailed.

"Holy crap, are all level 50 elite monsters this strong?"

Huo Bingzhi looked at my health bar with a surprised expression.

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned and tough."

I frowned and looked down at the ground, where I saw crimson light gathering continuously within the source of the plague, eventually solidifying into a small bead.

Purify the core!
Hōya Chōchō picked it up and said, "Let's continue."

Continuing forward, after only a few steps, we saw a figure suddenly leap up and land heavily on the mountain path in front of us. It was a warrior wearing power armor!
He was completely clad in terracotta armor, wielding a blood-red power sword. His body was slightly bulky, and a pair of blood-red eyes behind his hood stared intently at us. The next second, his attributes appeared—

[The Corrupted Gray Knight Warrior] (Purple BOSS)

Rating: 50
Attack: 1800-2450
Defense: 1000
Qi and blood: 500000
Armor: Imperial Expeditionary Power Armor, Generation III

Skills: [Sword Mastery Lv.8], [Battle Frenzy Lv.8], [Unyielding Will Lv.8]

Details: The corrupted soldiers of the Grey Knights Legion, their will corrupted by demonic power from chaos, have turned these once-glorious warriors into ruthless demons. Kill them and redeem their souls with a purifying core!
……

"Nima..."

Huo Bingzhi's face instantly turned ashen: "What's going on? The final boss right off the bat?"

"no……"

Faye Chaochen shook his head: "It seems that the regular monsters in this dungeon are all purple bosses..."

"What!?"

Huo Bingzhi was completely dumbfounded.

I frowned and instantly switched my primary weapon to the power sword Wind Chaser.

The next second, the power sword warrior in front of him, clad in third-generation armor, glared fiercely and roared, "You ignorant bunch, how dare you trespass on the Grey Knights' holy land! You're all dead!"

"Om~~~"

The jump pack behind him suddenly emitted blue light, instantly propelling his body into a blur. The power sword in his hand emitted a dazzling crimson glow as he stabbed fiercely into the abdomen of Faye Chaochen!
"Fuck!"

Fa Ye Chaochen's agility wasn't very high, and he didn't have any movement skills. In his haste, he stomped his foot, and meteorite luster appeared on his body. He directly activated the Star Speaker's fourth-tier skill - Meteorite Protection!
This is probably the strongest defensive skill for a mental class in the early to mid-game, but whether it can withstand an attack with 2450 attack power plus a power sword is hard to say!

"It's over!"

Huo Bingzhi rushed toward Fa Yechao, but he was too slow.

"Pong!"

At the critical moment, I moved with precision and used Step Slash to stop directly in front of Fa Ye Chao Chen. Then, I used my own Yuan Power to activate the power sword in my hand. Instantly, the Wind Chaser lit up with a "whoosh", and except for the hilt, the whole body flashed with a deep blue power sword radiance!
"Clang~~~"

Sparks flew everywhere. The next second, I parried the power sword with my power sword, but the level 50 purple BOSS was too strong. Although I managed to parry, my body was still staggered backward, crashing into Faye Chaochen behind me.

"Holy crap, Ding Han, you..."

For a moment, both Fa Ye Chaochen and Huo Bing Zhi Ri were stunned. Looking at the power sword gleaming in my hand, they were too shocked to speak.

"Focus your attention and defeat the BOSS!"

I exerted my strength and deflected the BOSS's sword. Immediately afterwards, a divine creation landed on the opponent, and then I unleashed an unstoppable force!

"Boy, you are courting death!"

The Gray Knight warrior roared and his sword danced wildly, while I charged straight ahead to his back. Then, a series of attacks landed on his arm: a basic attack, a combo attack, a basic attack, an Ash Sweep, a basic attack, a Blood Drain Frenzy, and another basic attack!

Although the third-generation power armor has strong defense, it cannot withstand the attack of the power sword. Even though the first-generation power sword in my hand has a relatively low energy level, it still has a destructive force field!

Suddenly, with a "crack," the steel connecting the opponent's arm and wrist was cleaved open, revealing the flesh and blood body underneath that had undergone multiple genetic modifications!
"Keng!"

With another sword strike, he severed the opponent's arm!

With a "clang," the arm holding the power sword fell to the ground, and the power sword hissed as it initiated its self-destruct sequence!

At the same time, a large damage number flew up above the BOSS's head—

"168289!"

[Battle Alert: Player [Shadow Chaser] used [Wind Chaser - Thunder Fury] (Quality: Orange) to inflict a [Critical Strike] effect on [Corrupted Gray Knight Warrior] (Purple BOSS), causing it to lose 168289 HP and some of its combat power!]

……

"I rely on!"

Fa Ye Chaochen and Huo Bing Zhi Ri were speechless: "You can play it like this?"

I was equally pleasantly surprised. The greatest strength of a power sword lies in its ability to "cut swiftly," but I never expected it to be presented in such a realistic way. This Windseeker can even cut through the torso of a purple boss; the surprises it brings are simply too numerous!

"continue!"

My gaze was low, and I finished off the remaining damage. While nimbly dodging the opponent's heavy punches, each sword strike landed on the opponent's leg.

"Crack!"

After a few more sword strikes, I severed another leg from the opponent, triggering the "Critical Strike" effect again and causing them to lose over 15 HP!
Then, he stepped on the opponent's chest and added a few more sword strikes, triggering the third critical strike effect. In fact, it only took him a little over ten seconds to deplete the purple BOSS's 50 HP bar!
After completing the kill, a ray of experience light drifted into my body. Unfortunately, it was much less than the experience given by the purple BOSS outside. Also, after the last update, the BOSS in the dungeon no longer drops ability crystals. Otherwise, if you add the final dungeon reward, this reward would be too outrageous.

"Fuck..."

Huo Bingzhi tilted his head and looked at the power sword in my hand, saying, "This...this is the legendary power sword?"

"Ah."

I nodded and smiled: "Last time when I fought an orange boss, I was lucky and actually got a power sword, but it was a first generation, the lowest level of power sword."

"As long as it's a power sword, there's no need to be picky."

Huo Bingzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Ding Han, this severe injury setting..."

"This is my first time experiencing it too."

I looked at the two of them and said, "Actually, this is the first time I've used a power sword. I haven't had a chance to fight since I came back from Dawn Fortress, and the sword has been gathering dust."

"But this weapon is so fun to use..."

Huo Bingzhi exclaimed excitedly, "From now on, owning a power sword is my ultimate dream. It's so awesome... This 'severe damage' setting is like remaking the attack and defense rules in 'Star Abyss.' Apart from power weapons, nothing else should be able to defend against a power sword, right?"

"Not necessarily. It's said that a power-class storm shield can also withstand it. As long as there is equipment with a destructive force field on its surface, it can go head-to-head with powered weapons. That's what the official statement was during the closed beta."

"I see……"

Huo Bingzhi continued to stare intently at the Wind Chaser, his eyes filled with admiration: "If this thing were used in PvP, could it sever the torso of other players?"

"do not know."

I frowned: "That's possible, or it's possible that players have certain exemptions from the rules."

"call……"

Faye Chaochen, standing to the side, suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Damn it... I'm starting to regret it. Why did I choose the psychic class? If only I had chosen a sword-based superweapon. This power sword is so enviable..."

"Farye, you have no chance."

Huo Bingzhi grinned and said, "I, the Dark Priest, still have a chance. As long as I can assemble a full set of power armor and a nuclear-powered backpack in the future, I can still wield a power sword. As for you, you can just focus on being your Star Speaker."

"Nima..."

Fa Ye Chaochen rolled his eyes, took out the purification core from his storage space, and asked, "How do you use this thing?"

Before he finished speaking, the purification core hummed and rang, and in the next moment it was attracted to the corpse of the gray knight warrior. Then, wisps of red light bloomed from the badly damaged corpse, and the screams of demons came from it. You could even see a blood-red face rushing out of the corpse in pain and then disappearing in the wind.

[Instance Notification: Purification progress 1/100!]

……

"what?"

Faye Chaochen was taken aback: "You want to fight a hundred purple BOSSes?"

"if not?"

I smiled slightly and said, "You don't actually think that four-star dungeons are that easy, do you?"

"I rely on..."

Fa Ye Chaochen looked at me, his eyes filled with lingering fear: "Ding Han... I was so damn brilliant to think of inviting you to join the strategy for this four-star dungeon. Anyone else would have failed. Not to mention how dangerous 100 purple third-generation armor BOSSes are, how long would it take to kill them? They would probably run out of supplies by the end."

"If you say so..."

Huo Bingzhi also looked terrified, saying, "We were too optimistic before, thinking that a four-star dungeon would at most be slightly easier than a three-star dungeon. But it seems... it's worlds apart. This dungeon is terrifyingly difficult..."

"continue!"

I looked ahead and said, "Let's finish this quickly. After we're done with the dungeon, the three of us can have a hot pot to celebrate."

"okay!"

……

Further on, the order in which the enemy units appear in the dungeon is exactly the same as before: first, a Plague Source appears, followed by a Grey Knights soldier whose will has been corrupted by demonic power. Defeating one and purifying the other continues in this way, advancing the dungeon's progress.

All I had to do was keep using the power sword to inflict "severe damage" and greatly shorten the time needed to complete the mission!

Around 9 p.m., the walkthrough progress finally reached 87/100, almost finished!
