Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

The broken chains swayed limply in the air, spewing out strange, dark red and purple power from the broken ends.

The core of the Abyss Anchor Binder began to flicker violently, no longer conveying a pure obsession with binding.

Instead, it's something more primal and insane—madness.

"Be careful, Your Excellency! The chains that broke its recovery have worked! But... they've also completely enraged it!"

"Yes, be careful too."

Su Zhisu responded silently, looking solemnly at the Abyss Anchor Binder.

The massive body of the Abyss Anchor Binder underwent a terrifying transformation.

The dark energy chains that were originally wrapped around the body and slowly wriggling were now like an enraged swarm of snakes, frantically contracting and squeezing inward!

The rusted anchor that makes up its body is forcibly compressed and solidified by this frenzied force.

It abandoned its massive size and remote grasping capabilities, concentrating all its power on the remaining, most core chains.

The chains instantly turned like red-hot irons, emitting an ominous dark red light, and became noticeably more flexible and swift!

"Buzz—!!!"

A sharp, metallic shriek erupted from the compressed Abyss Anchor Binder's body.

Its speed suddenly increased, no longer moving slowly and heavily, but turning into a dark red afterimage, rushing straight towards Su Zhisu with a frenzied madness of mutual destruction!

"Lilia, use maximum range interference! It's about to go berserk!"

Su Zhisu gave a low shout and retreated swiftly.

The [Overlay Combo] was already fully stacked. Su Zhisu slashed with all her might, no longer testing the waters, but slashing at the dark red chains that were attacking her.

"Ding! Ding! Clang!"

The sounds of collisions became more frequent and piercing.

Each exchange left Su Zhixu feeling numb in her arms.

Having abandoned recovery and some defense, the Abyssal Anchor Binder, focusing all its power on offense and speed, has become an even greater threat than it has been!

Its attacks are no longer predictable; they are nothing but pure, unadulterated madness, a desire to tear everything in its path apart.

Each chain that struck the ground generated a small field of hatred, which Su Zhisu could only carefully dodge.

Suddenly, a chain grazed his cheek, the force of which stung his skin.

The other, like a poisonous whip, lashed at the ground beneath his feet, blasting open a patch of pale gravel.

"We can't fight it head-on; its berserk state won't last. We need to hold on!"

Su Zhisu used his movement technique to its fullest extent, maneuvering and shifting within the confined space.

Lilia's Dream Dust constantly interfered, attempting to slow down the speed at which the Abyss Anchor Binder swung its chains.

However, its effectiveness is greatly reduced when facing the Abyssal Anchor Binder in its berserk state.

"Sizzle!"

Su Zhisu slid sideways, narrowly avoiding a swing, and in doing so, left a shallow mark on the chain.

He was breathing rapidly, his mind highly focused, calculating every dodge and counterattack down to the millimeter.

Under such extreme pressure, he became more proficient in using the curved blade, and the skills he learned through the online training were gradually integrated into actual combat.

Gradually, he began to seize the slightest openings to fight back, and the number of "purification" marks began to be maintained instead of being refreshed.

The three layers of marks had already been stacked up.

Just then, the Abyss Anchor Binder seemed to become more agitated due to the prolonged siege, and all the dark red chains suddenly retracted, overlapping and compressing in front of him.

The core of the dark red light shone brightly, as if it was preparing for a final blow!

"Chance!"

A glint flashed in Su Zhisu's eyes. Instead of retreating, he charged forward to meet the heart-pounding energy fluctuations!

He channeled all his strength into the scimitar, and a faint "purifying" light emanated from its blade as he aimed directly at the core, which had become vulnerable due to the high concentration of energy!

"Now, Lilia!"

"Dream Dust, Sleep Now!"

Lilia gritted her teeth and poured all her remaining power into her staff, shooting a pinkish-blue water sphere, carrying a large amount of dream dust, toward the head of the Abyss Anchor Binder, where it exploded!

"Buzz—!"

The Abyss Anchor Binder's movements froze for a moment, but the condensed fatal blow remained unaffected.

Although it immediately broke free from Meng Chen's influence, that precious moment was enough for Su Zhisu to rush to the optimal attack range!

"break!"

With a low shout, the [Scimitar Towards the Storm], burning with the flames of the Night Watch, and empowered by three layers of "Purification" marks, pierced the dark red core with precision, like lightning tearing through the darkness!

"Crack... Boom!!!"

There was no violent explosion, only the sound of the core structure completely collapsing.

The dark red core shattered like broken glass, gradually dimming and disappearing.

The massive body of the Abyss Anchor Binder trembled violently, then lost all its strength and collapsed with a crash.

The rusted anchor lay askew on the beach, and the energy chains scattered around it were slowly dissipating.

[Network Notification]: You and your teammates have defeated the dungeon boss - [Abyssal Anchor Binder (Lv.9)], and gained a large amount of experience.

[Network Notice]: [Abyssal Anchor Binder] is dead, and the core source of contamination in the "Shallow-2" instance has been removed.

[Current Dungeon Erosion Level]: 15%

"The dungeon boss has been defeated, but why...?"

"Is the dungeon still not finished?"

Su Zhisu knelt on one knee, supporting his body with his curved sword, panting heavily.

The intense mental concentration and physical exertion left him feeling completely exhausted.

Lilia also jogged over, her face pale and exhausted.

Her eyes, however, were filled with the joy of victory.

"Great! We...we won! Your Excellency!"

Lilia's voice trembled.

"Yes, your interference was very timely."

"Well done, Lilia!"

"hey-hey!"

Su Zhisu nodded slightly and gently rubbed Lilia's hair.

This gentle gesture startled the girl at first, then her ears turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but lower her head and smile softly with her lips pursed.

A few items in the nearby wreckage were emitting a faint glow.

A staff made entirely of dark-colored metal, with a dark red gem set at the top;

A large collection of crystals, each with a mottled color and radiating various emotional fluctuations, and a stone that glows with green light;

In addition, some common forging materials and network disaster coins.

[Network Notification]: Congratulations on obtaining the [Binding Staff], [Emotional Fragments (Fear, Despair, Hatred)] x300, [Green Polishing Stone] x1, and Network Disaster Coins x1000.
