Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 237 The Ring of Chaos Dream
"Ho~~~"

The spine-spiked butcher roared, then suddenly flipped over, walking on the six whip-like tentacles on its back. Its arms suddenly opened as if to capture, and at the same time, its chest cavity opened into four mouthparts, with the rotating bone saw inside roaring and turning. It looked really scary.

This set of hunting moves is the signature move of the Spinner Butcher. It is fast and once you are caught, it is very difficult to escape. Therefore, many players have died from this move in past battles!

"Pong!"

Amidst the surging air currents, the moment my opponent's barbed arms retracted, I suddenly took a step and slashed sideways, instantly widening the distance to about five yards. Immediately afterward, I activated Heavenly Craftsmanship, Unstoppable Force, and Battle Cry simultaneously, and launched a burst of energy charge the instant my opponent turned around!
With a strong push-back sensation, the body passed through the opponent's body, completing the impact and stunning them.

Turning around, he swept his power sword out, delivering a combo of basic attack + combo slash + basic attack + dragon blade + basic attack to the opponent's throat. Blood splattered everywhere, and the Spine Butcher screamed in agony!
Amidst the splatter of blood, a series of debuffs appeared above the opponent's head, amounting to a considerable amount.

However, it did not deal excessive damage such as "severe injury" because the Spinner Butcher's body had become much thicker after its evolution, and its neck and chest cavity were connected together, with a diameter of at least two meters. It was impossible to complete the decapitation with a power sword with a blade length of only 0.8 meters.

"Roar--"

The spine-spike butcher roared, and six whip-like tentacles behind him shot out like lightning, whistling through the air!

Without saying a word, I immediately activated Annihilation Rock Armor and Stardust Wall simultaneously!
The next second, all six whip-like tentacles struck the Stardust Wall, instantly shattering two of the four Stardust fragments. As expected of an SS-level skill, it could withstand two attacks like the Spine Butcher's!
I felt a surge of excitement, and suddenly stood up. Just as the other creature was quickly retracting its tentacles, I leaped into the air using the arm covered in keratin and mucus, and landed right in front of its face!
"Ho~~~"

Behind the thick layer of keratin, the spine butcher's scarlet eyes looked over, and surprisingly, a hint of fear shone through them.

"Go to hell!"

The sword light swept down, directly hitting the keratinous layer on its face with a combo of basic attack + Ash Sweep + basic attack + Blood Drain Frenzy + basic attack. Instantly, the "mask" that the Spine Butcher used to protect its head was cut open from the front and slowly peeled off with slime.

That's a bit disgusting!

With a roar, it raised its front paws and slapped violently, while I stepped on its bulky shoulders and swept behind it. At the same time, I grabbed the edge of the cut on its keratin layer with my left hand and tore it backward. With a hissing sound, the keratin layer armor on the back of its head was torn open, covered with dense mucus, and in the blink of an eye, a bulky and fragile head appeared in front of me!
"Get up!"

With a single strike, combining a normal slash with a rising dragon slash, he sent the opponent soaring into the sky.

"Keng~"

He instantly switched his primary weapon to the UZI, aimed at the opponent's head, and pulled the trigger. Instantly, amidst the "rat-a-tat-tat" sound, a dense barrage of damage numbers leaped up from above the Spinebreaker Butcher's head!

"1872!!"

"1921!"

"4004!"

"8178!"

"1897!"

……

Although the UZI's firepower is average, its rate of fire is fast, and once a critical hit is triggered, the damage becomes quite terrifying. It empties its magazine in 2.4 seconds, and 60 bullets almost instantly reduce the Spine Killer's health by about 17!

Very cool!

"Ho~~~"

After suffering such heavy damage, the Spinner Butcher roared and flipped over again, its six tentacles shooting out like arrows!

"Buzz!"

A frost rose around the power sword, and the next second, the chilling star slashed directly at the Spinebreaker Butcher's bloated thigh. The moment the frost solidified, the primary weapon switched to the bomb gun, and aimed at the butcher's unarmored head, unleashing a series of precise headshots!

Blood, flesh, and brains splattered everywhere; the scene was so beautiful it defied description.

In fact, my combat power is no longer afraid of alien species like the Spine Butcher. When the opponent charges again, I use a Dragon Binding Rope to imprison it in place. I switch between two guns, retreating and shooting in the wilderness, quickly whittling down the opponent's health bar.

Unfortunately, the opponent's six whip tails were too fast, coming and going quickly. Moreover, this spiny butcher was very clever and never used those mutated tentacles to fight me head-on, for fear of being cut off by the power sword!
However, this did not change anything. A few minutes later, the opponent's massive 500 million was reduced to low health by my attrition!

The lights in the distance are getting closer and closer, and I can even hear the sound of helicopters flying by. We must finish this quickly!
"Pong!"

Finishing with a burst of power, a combo that swept through the enemy ranks emptied the Spinebreaker's last health bar, and the ringing of bells echoed in his ears—

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Spinner Butcher (orange boss) and obtained the item: 1 Boss Ability Crystal!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the "Spine Butcher" (Orange Boss), gaining 3200000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 1600000 experience points!]

[Congratulations! You are the first player on the server to solo kill an orange-tier boss. Rewards: Achievement +3, Charisma +1!] ...

"Oh?"

A slight chill ran through me. This was the first time I'd soloed the orange-tier boss after it'd been on stage for so long? Not bad... 3 achievement points and 1 charm point, all for free.

Without hesitation, he quickly opened the orange-colored power crystal he had just obtained. If there was anything usable, he could equip it now and have a better chance of winning in the breakout battle later!
Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Chaotic Dream Ring] (Quality: Orange)!

……

An orange ring?!
My heart leaped with joy, and I hurriedly opened my interdimensional storage space to investigate. Sure enough, I saw a uniquely shaped ring, shrouded in orange light, lying in the corner of the storage space. My gaze lingered on it for a moment, and its attributes floated out—

[Chaotic Dream Ring] (Quality: Orange)
Rank: Fourth Tier

Strength: +40
Agility: +38
Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +6%
Blessing: Lifesteal +6%
Specialty: Attack damage +10%
Blessing: Mighty Force - II, increases attack power by 280 points.
Burst Skill: [Chaotic Dream] - This skill draws upon the subspace power stored within the ring, plunging the target into a chaotic dream. This effect lasts for 10-15 seconds. Taking damage will break the dream. Consumes 20 Yuan Power and has a 5-minute cooldown.
Strength required: 700
Required Agility: 350
……

'Holy shit...'

The moment I saw the ring's attributes, I was stunned. Wow, that's awesome!

This is a ring with four attributes: critical strike, life steal, increased damage, and immense strength. It is already an extremely rare item, not to mention that the critical strike and life steal values ​​are both maxed out, making it even more precious!
In addition, there is a burst skill that only consumes 20 energy points. This Chaotic Dream is a sleep skill, which is quite useful in both PvP and boss battles.

For example, when surrounded by 2-3 opponents, you can use this burst skill to put one of them to sleep, freeing up your hands to deal with the other two before focusing on the boss. It is also quite useful when killing bosses, as you can put the boss to sleep and create distance for ranged attacks. How to use it depends on your individual needs.

Pretty good!

I took a deep breath and then looked at the two rings on my body. The Frost Ring is a super damage ring, and I'm reluctant to change it, but the Wasteland Fire Ring is an invincibility ring, so I can't change it!

In the end, I had to reluctantly retire the Frost Ring!
"Clap!"

The moment the Chaos Dream Ring is equipped, an icon appears in the Burst Skill section, giving off a sense of security.

As for the Frost Ring, you can sell it or trade it to Fatty or Ruolin. At least the 4% critical hit chance is still very useful, as it can boost shooting. It's just a pity that in Star Abyss, there are only two lifesteal attributes: "Lifesteal" and "Psionic Lifesteal." There is no such thing as "Ranged Lifesteal."

Thinking about it, it does make sense. If a gunner were to be holding a Gatling gun and constantly firing at a group of enemies, while green vampire numbers kept appearing on his forehead, the scene would be far too bizarre.

……

At that moment, the cacophony of mechanical noise pulled me back to reality.

Many helicopters appeared in the sky above the wasteland, and giant figures sped over, their heavy footsteps pounding the ground like an earthquake, the tremors reaching directly to the feet!

Avengers!
I looked as far as I could see, and there were at least 12 Avengers mechs in my field of vision!
Good heavens, Dark Tide really thinks highly of me. Back when the Grey Worm Legion attacked a big city like Creek City, they only used 2-3 Avengers. Now, they've used more than ten to hunt me down. They've really given me a lot of face!
"Go to hell! You think so highly of me?"

I frowned and looked around, searching for the weak point in the enemy's encirclement. If all else failed, I would just use the phase teleportation core. But I was a little reluctant to leave, and this S-rank mission wasn't over yet. I was unwilling to leave now!
"033, you traitor! We've laid a trap, there's no way you can escape this time!"

In the distance, a sharp voice came from a plastic surgery-faced psionic officer from the Dark Tide. The hyaluronic acid on her face was almost overflowing. Psionic energy appeared under her feet, which made her briefly float into the air and drift down from the helicopter.

"Come on, feel the embrace of death!"

She opened her arms, and wisps of purple spiritual energy gathered around her.

This is a purple-level psionic officer. He's very strong and has a lot of health, but I still want to try and see if I can kill him!

"Pong!"

A burst of Yuan Power erupted from his body, and in an instant, his body became a blur, piercing through the opponent's body. He still started with the Heavenly Craftsmanship, Unstoppable Force, and Battle Cry. He turned around and unleashed a series of combos, slashing at her neck with a series of "poof poof poof". However, a wisp of purple spiritual energy blocked the power sword like a ring-shaped ribbon. It could only deal damage, but could not instantly decapitate her!
"You bastard, you want to kill me?!" Her face contorted with rage.

"Fuck you!"

With a low shout, I launched her into the air with a Rising Dragon Slash, followed by several consecutive slashes to stack damage. As she fell to the ground, I followed up with a Cold Star Piercing Bone Sword, and then unleashed all the high-damage skills such as Ash Sweep and Blood Drain Frenzy!
"Zi~~~"

Finally, with a soft sound, the psionic energy she used to resist the power sword field was utterly severed. The next second, a sword light flashed past, and a head flew through the air!
Level 45 purple BOSS, one-shotted!
……

"033, you beast, you dare to kill someone?!"

In the distance, a group of psionic officers swept over, their faces contorted in extreme grotesqueness.

Without looking back, I headed straight for the darkest direction, twisted my body, and entered a state of bio-optical cloaking for 18 seconds. The next moment, I disappeared into the forest!
Just then, the star map suddenly started flashing, and a female player's voice came from within: "Ding Han, I am Wu Yuyu from Dark Tide. Can you lend me a hand and help me escape from this hellhole?"
