Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 381 Head-on confrontation with the Nightmare Eater!
"Ho~~~"

With a roar, the Dream Eater unleashed a biological shield from the subspace that flowed across its body, completely ignoring the bullet attacks. The barbs around its head stood up, and it leaped into the air, hurtling towards the enemy at a terrifying speed!

"Ding Han, watch out!"

Ruolin was shocked. She knew that she couldn't dodge the Dream Eater's speed, and there was no point in talking about positioning.

So I didn't plan to move around.

"Shh!"

Just as the Dream Eater charged out, a golden beam of light shot out and struck its forehead with a "thud"!
The dream-eating beast suddenly shuddered, as if it had been kissed by Professor Yang, and collapsed to the ground in a state of paralysis.

The Chaos Flying Knife has done it again!
In an instant, he charged forward with explosive power, unleashing a barrage of battle cries, Chaos Blade, and Unstoppable Force, delivering a fluid and powerful melee attack that landed squarely on the Dream Eater's head. He even managed to retrieve the Chaos Flying Knife in the process.

"drop--"

The paralysis effect has started its countdown, only three seconds left!

A sword rises to the dragon!
Missed again...

retreat!

As he retreated, he raised his hand and unleashed a Dragon Binding Rope!

Become!

The Dragon-Binding Rope proved its worth, imprisoning the Dream-Eating Beast in place.

However, when faced with such an overwhelmingly powerful BOSS, the "restraining all actions" effect of the Dragon Binding Rope was weakened, and the Dream Eater unleashed a sudden and unexpected psionic energy attack!

Subconsciously, he simultaneously activated Annihilation Rock Armor and Stardust Wall!

"40923!"

The Stardust Wall shattered instantly; the next time, the damage will definitely be different.

"Be careful, the psionic shock has a very short wind-up, at most 0.3 seconds, and an attack range of 40 yards. Ruolin, Aki, and I can get close, the rest of you should all retreat to about 50 yards and use firearms for hit-and-run tactics. Don't get killed instantly!"

While giving orders, he retreated, and just as the Dream Eater pounced again, he lowered his body and used the Barrier of Glory to defend himself!

Instantly, the Dream Eater swung its claws, unleashing a triple lightning strike that sparked three rays of light against the shield!

"22384!"

"39099!"

"41232!"

It hurts so much! Luckily, I used a first aid kit to fully restore my health, otherwise I might have died!
Just as the Dream Eater was recovering from its triple attack, I unleashed a flurry of Frostbite + basic attack + Ash Sweep + basic attack, instantly replenishing my health bar. Frostbite lived up to its mission, freezing the opponent.

Continue retreating while maintaining remote output.

"Destroying its warp bio-shield is the primary objective; maintain control!"

Although the Dream Eater's body is huge, its front claws and hind legs are not particularly thick. As long as I break its shield, I am confident that I can chop it into a melon before the warp shield re-condenses.

The power sword is our only hope!
In the wind, both of Koumei and Faye's control skills missed. Fortunately, before the Dream Eater could charge out again, it suddenly went black and was affected by the fear effect.

The pancakes did a great job!
After unleashing a barrage of attacks for two seconds, Ruolin unleashed a Burst Charge + Rising Dragon Slash!
The stun effect of the charge missed, but the Rising Dragon Slash did its job, knocking the opponent into the air.

"Very good, keep this pace!"

I charged in and unleashed a burst of damage, while simultaneously signaling Ruolin to retreat and create distance. Just as the Dream Eater landed, a close-range energy blade was thrown and struck its forehead!

"Sizzle!"

Paralyzed again, the Chaos Flying Knife has done its job!

Another round of melee attacks ensued, but the S9-level BOSS's biological shield resilience was indeed a bit too long.

"Aki, go!"

As I retreated rapidly, I shouted, "Activate invincibility when your health bar is close to 50%, stall for five seconds, then retreat. Ruolin, go in again, also activate invincibility to stall her!"

"understand!"

Aki didn't pilot the Fearless. Instead, he transformed into a whirlwind of flames, wielding a battle axe, and relentlessly clung to the Dream Eater. Just as its health bar dropped to nearly half, a golden light appeared.

The Dream Eater roared, its claws slamming repeatedly against the invincible shield, but it was just a subspace beast, unaware of the intricacies of the game's rules, and simply kept attacking!
Ruolin entered the fray and unleashed a barrage of damage on the Dream Eater. When the Dream Eater attempted to attack Aki, Ruolin used her shield to block the attack, taking damage herself and causing the Dream Eater to become enraged and redirect its attack.

Ruolin is very steady!
I felt a slight surge of joy. Our team has really grown so much in the past six months. Both individual skills and teamwork have made a qualitative leap!

"Ruolin, retreat!"

Just as Ruolin's invincibility was about to disappear, my Burst Charge + Rising Dragon Slash + Frostbite Triple Strike arrived, instantly controlling the Dream Eater. Then, with a powerful attack and the combined offensive of the people behind me, I finally shattered the brown subspace shield on the Dream Eater's body!
The opportunity is coming!

"Clap!"

The Chaos Flying Knife performed its third feat, trapping the Dream Eater in place.

The sword light surged, aiming at the Dream Eater's left foreleg and slashing fiercely. Blood splattered everywhere and bone fragments flew everywhere. The Dream Eater, which ate with the Nightmare Eater and bullied the weak and feared the strong, had never fought such a tough battle before. It howled in pain. Under the fierce attack of the Blood-Sucking Frenzy, its left foreleg broke with a "crack", and it was severely injured!

"20021332!"

One sword costs 20 million, the damage is pleasing to the eye!
"Ho~~~"

The dream-eating beast roared, still instinctively lunging with its claws.

But it forgot that it had lost a front paw, causing it to lose its balance. Its right front paw slammed into the air, resulting in a huge MISS!

Just then, the Dream Eater suddenly sank, its entire body bursting with spiritual power.

"Watch out, it might be a nightmare. Cai Cai and Fatty are about to use ranged attacks to wake us up and save us!"

The next second, an irresistible surge of powerful psychic energy descended from the sky, and a nightmare icon simultaneously appeared above Ruolin's and my heads.

My entire being instantly plummeted, falling into a dream.

However, before I could even see the dream clearly, I was suddenly attacked with several headshots.

"Damn, you don't even need a headshot to wake someone up!!! You're such a noob!" "Well, his aim is just too good..."

"Gan!"

Before the words were even finished, the Dream Eater opened its blood-red maw, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed towards them!

"Pong!"

The air currents surged, and with a step-slashing sidestep, I perfectly dodged it!

If Cai Cai had been woken up even half a second later, she might have been dead!
"continue!"

With their longswords raised, Ruolin and I, one on each side, locked onto the Dream Eater's right foreleg and launched an attack!
With the help of Kou Mei, Fa Ye, Bing Zi, and Aki, we managed to cut off the other front leg without any real danger. As a result, the Dream Eater lost its balance and could only sit on the ground on its two hind legs, constantly opening its blood-red mouth to unleash psionic shocks at us!

This posture is somewhat like a lone lion surrounded by its two brothers.

……

The hind legs are already hidden; there's no other way but to try and behead them.

The Dream Eater's neck was rather thick and covered with barbs, which is why I didn't choose to decapitate it immediately. If we tried to cut off its head right away while it was still agile, we might end up killing ourselves.

But now it's much simpler. Ruolin and I only need to use the Step Slash to avoid the psionic impact, without having to endure the opponent's fast and ruthless triple claw attack. It's basically a risk-free strategy.

Two minutes later, a huge head rolled off the Dream Eater's neck.

Complete the kill and obtain a brown treasure chest!
I opened it with excitement, and immediately a ringtone sounded in my ear—

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Lucid Dream Leggings] (Quality: Chaos Grade, S9, Brown)!

……

Another S9-level item, what incredible luck!
Overjoyed, he hurriedly opened his storage space and saw a pair of leg guards, glowing with a brownish-red light, lying quietly. Upon closer inspection, their attributes appeared—

……

Great stuff! It comes with a super-effective passive ability. If I had gotten these leg guards earlier, would I have been able to withstand the nightmare of the Dream Eater?
It's hard to say, because I can't wear it. This is another Tier 7 equipment!
High-end stuff, we lowly folks aren't qualified to wear it right now.

"It's done!"

Cai Cai smiled and asked, "How was everyone's harvest?"

"good."

Aki said, "A golden breastplate, with pretty strong attributes."

"I'm not bad either."

Ruolin smiled and said, "She gave me a gold ring."

Koumei and Faye also achieved good results.

Cai Cai and Fatty were lucky this time. The Dream Eater wasn't a pure subspace life form, otherwise they might have had zero output and wouldn't have even gotten the brown treasure chest.

……

"Boss!"

Kou Mei suddenly hid behind me, pointing at the corpse of the Dream Eater: "Look!"

The Dream Eater's body is being annihilated.

It was as if it had been ignited by an invisible fire, and quickly turned into smoke and rose into the air.

The smoke and clouds moved rhythmically in the air, as if they were swaying.

"wrong……"

My heart suddenly trembled: "Everyone, be careful!"

In the air, the swaying clouds gradually darkened in color, transforming into the tail of a long cloak, while the front of the cloak continued to extend out of the air, condensing into a figure.

A gleaming dagger, with a bell hanging from its waist.

Haunted!

S11, Eternal-level BOSS!

"grass!"

I hurriedly shouted, "Invincible teleportation! Those who can leave, leave now!"

Before the words were even finished, the monster's body went berserk, and with a "snap," it grabbed Cai Cai's neck and snapped it with a crack, killing her instantly!
"Shh!"

With a flick of his left hand, a spike of spiritual energy appeared in mid-air and pierced Ruolin's heart!
They were all sold out in seconds!

"Return to town and revive!"

A chill ran through me. I couldn't fight him, not even a little bit. The Chaos Demon Lord was simply beyond the capabilities of players at this stage. There was no need to throw my life away here!

Kou Mei, Fa Ye, Bing Zi, and Fatty immediately activated their invincibility and crushed the Phase Teleport Core.

"Boss, the Fearless One!"

Aki's face turned pale as he looked at the Fearless One behind him.

He's right, we must take the fearless ones with us; they are the foundation of our team!

My gaze turned cold, and I charged toward Nightmare with my sword, unleashing a barrage of skills including Dragon Binding Rope, Bursting Charge, and Bone-Piercing Cold Star!
