The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Chapter 128 BOSS Battle

The moment the black bone blade touched the player, the player, who was protected by various defensive magic spells, was like fragile glass, and with a "crack," his entire body was sliced ​​in half.

"No, is that right?"

The player was dumbfounded to see himself so easily cut in half.

Fortunately, his splitting and regeneration skill activated.

The two smaller clones reformed.

"It's numb, damn it!"

"Brothers, I can't maintain this state for long. I'm going to unleash a burst of power first."

"This piece of junk is pretty high level, level 70. The most important thing is that its attack is a bit overpowered. It easily broke through my defense, which is so high."

As soon as he finished speaking, the player took out the Corrupted Magic Crystal.

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

Then came the roar of the mantis monster.

Everything returned to calm. The mantis monster was blown in two, and the player was gone too.

However, this player's sacrifice was not in vain, as it allowed other players to discover the weakness of this mantis monster.

"Brothers, this thing has incredible attack power, but its defense is terribly weak."

"Just unleash your skills and self-destruct if anyone dares to get close."

The next moment, fireballs, ice spears, and arcane missiles rained down on the mantis monsters at the front.

The flames and frost from the explosion left charred marks and ice crystals on them.

It dealt extremely high damage to the mantis monster.

Players have clearly noticed that the mantis monsters are much slower.

"Damn it, I thought it was something special, but it turns out it's just a bunch of fragile little guys."

"What good is high attack power if you can't withstand attacks? You'll die."

After easily dealing with these mantis monsters, many more players arrived at the scene.

"Guys, what's going on?"

Looking at the traces left on the battlefield, the players who had just arrived asked questions.

"We just wiped out a wave of mantis monsters."

"Its attack is incredibly powerful, but its defense is terrible. It's not difficult to defeat, and it's a monster that's developed in the direction of an assassin's agility."

"In addition, these monsters have reached level 70."

Later players didn't really care about the earlier news, since there was no shortage of monsters in the dungeon. However, when they heard that these monsters were level 70, their attitude changed completely.

You should know that level 70 monsters are practically impossible to encounter, even on the 60th floor of a dungeon.

As a result, a level 70 monster appeared on the 59th floor. It's obvious that there's something fishy going on here.

"So what's the next step?"

"Let's wait and see. If nothing else comes up, we'll go down."

As the players chatted, more and more players gathered there over time.

The players initially thought nothing would come up, but just as they were about to send someone down to scout the situation, the black mist deep within the rift churned violently once more!

The black mist deep within the crevice churned violently once more!

"Roar!"

Then an even louder roar came from below!

Those who heard the sound exchanged glances.

They immediately realized that something else was coming.

"Everyone, get ready."

As soon as the words were spoken, many players had already run to safe positions and set up mortars.

Some players stayed near the rift.

Just then, a colossal shadow slowly rose from the black mist.

It was a mantis, magnified several times, nearly eight meters tall, with thick, black bone armor as heavy as a city wall, covered with dark purple patterns.

Its chest features a constantly rotating, dark sphere resembling a miniature black hole, radiating a suffocating gravitational field.

Upon seeing the enormous mantis monster appear, one player's voice trembled, "BOSS, it's definitely a BOSS! A BOSS at least level 70!"

"Holy crap! It really is the BOSS."

"Guys, we've hit the jackpot this time!"

"A boss actually appeared."

"I told you the 59th floor couldn't be that bad. See, I'm absolutely right. There's even a boss hidden here."

""

"Can't you have any shame? You were the one who was most scathing in the chat just now."

Just as the players were joking with each other, the dark sphere on the Mantis BOSS's chest suddenly lit up!

Buzz!

An invisible, powerful gravitational field suddenly erupted from its center, instantly enveloping a radius of 100 meters around it.

Almost all players felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them, slowing down their movements.

"Holy crap! Guys, this boss can actually open a domain!"

"It's definitely a domain skill."

"Holy crap, we've hit the jackpot."

"Destruction... Tear!" A deep, destructive mental wave swept across the entire area.

The moment that voice rang out, all the players turned their attention to the Mantis BOSS.

"It's fake, right..."

"It actually spoke..."

You should know that this monster is clearly devoid of any reason.

Surprisingly, it started talking, but the players didn't really care that the monster was talking.

It's the tone of voice that matters.

"The last time I heard this tone was from the final boss in another game."

"This is definitely a rare monster that drops good stuff."

"We've struck it rich, brothers! Charge! Charge! Kill it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the players unleashed a barrage of attacks at the Mantis Boss.

At the same time, the Mantis BOSS also moved.

Suddenly, it swung its arm and slashed fiercely at the nearest players with its enormous main bone blade!

In an instant!

A massive, pitch-black spatial rift, several kilometers wide, appeared out of nowhere in front of the players' formation, like the gates of hell!

"what?"

"Holy crap?"

"Those special effects!"

"Damn it, we're doomed!"

The dozens of players closest to the scene didn't even have time to react. They couldn't even let out half a scream before their bodies were pulled into the irresistible tearing force and spatial suction!

Immediately afterwards, they were torn to shreds like pieces of paper thrown into a shredder.

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence!

"With a single stroke, space can be torn apart; the power of a Dou Zong expert is terrifying."

"Back off and create distance."

"Brothers in the back, open fire! Damn it, blast it from a distance!"

The players were thrown into complete chaos.

At the same time, countless firepower was poured down on the Mantis BOSS.

Then something even more absurd happened: the massive bone armor seemed immune to most magical and physical attacks, and the players' attacks only left a few marks on the dark bone armor.

The Mantis BOSS raised its bone blades again, this time swinging two secondary bone blades in a cross pattern!

laugh!laugh!

Two relatively smaller but more condensed jet-black spatial slashes intersected and cut towards the densely populated area of ​​players.

"Scatter! Scatter now!"

puff!puff!

Despite the players' best efforts to dodge, the area covered by the slashing wave was too large and the speed was too fast.

More than a dozen players who couldn't dodge in time were swept away by the dark spatial slash!

Its body was as if it had been cut by an invisible blade, split into several pieces, but it quickly condensed into many small pieces again.

"Damn it! Let's fight it!" The shovel warrior was one of them.

As he spoke, he took out the magic crystal.

"Brothers, let's go for it!"

"God of War! Don't be impulsive!" the map surveyor shouted hurriedly.

"Boom..."

With a deafening explosion, when everything calmed down, the Mantis Boss was still unharmed, while more than 20 players had already died.

"Holy crap, this is way too difficult!"

"Where are the mechs? Where are the weapons of war?"

"Backup! Bros., get back quickly!"

"Getting hit by that skill is an instant kill!"

However, at that moment...

A blinding silver beam of light suddenly shot out from the high ground on the flank of the battlefield! The beam struck the Mantis B0 with perfect accuracy.

The core of SS's chest.

"boom!"

It was accompanied by a huge explosion.

The core remained unaffected.

Fortunately, this attack successfully repelled the mantis boss.

"Brothers, I'm here."

The voice of an amateur welder could be heard, followed by a massive mech descending from the sky, wielding a blood scythe and engaging the mantis in battle.

Everyone initially thought that the arrival of the mechs would make things easier, but after actually engaging in combat, the players became increasingly alarmed.

This mantis BOSS has amazing defense; its spatial tearing slashes basically evaporate anything it passes through instantly.

"Damn, this boss is hard to defeat, the damage is so high."

The amateur welder, who faced the boss head-on, finally experienced just how outrageous the boss's damage was.

Let alone other players, even his mech was having trouble with it.

"Brothers, this is it."

"Hey you guys hold on, I'm going to snipe from behind."

"It can't withstand a direct confrontation, it simply can't!"

At this moment, the amateur welder's mech was already damaged.

Repairing it later might be quite troublesome.

An amateur welder would be certain that if he continued fighting this thing for a while longer, his mech would be completely destroyed.

He seemed to retreat immediately, but the mantis boss was not about to let him off so easily.

At the critical moment, the war machines from the Sky Dome stepped in.

The circular war weapon, using its speed advantage, circled around the Mantis Boss to draw fire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the amateur welder immediately retreated to a safe position, and then the main gun began to charge up.

The next moment, a beam of light shot out.

Boom!!!

The deafening explosions almost drowned out all the shouts and artillery fire on the battlefield.

The dazzling light instantly expanded into a huge sphere of light, which slammed the mantis BOSS's massive body backward a step!

The solid ground beneath its feet groaned under the strain, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly.

On the Mantis BOSS, the thick, black bone armor, as solid as a city wall, was torn open with a scorching mark at the core edge area where it was hit by the beam of light.

Seeing this, all the players got excited.

"Holy crap! They fought them off! They fought them off!"

"The welding master is awesome!!"

"They've broken down! Did you guys see that?!"

"Brothers, don't get excited. That last shot used up half of the mech's energy. Damn it, give me two more minutes, I'll recharge the mech."

The amateur welder had just used the main gun to its maximum power.

Facing the constant bombardment of mortars from behind, his shot barely managed to breach the defenses.

This made even amateur welders a little uneasy.

"What the hell level of boss is this that can withstand so much damage?"

Although it is only level 70, its combat power is in no way weaker than that of the former captain of the Succubus Guard.

And so, the players on the front lines continued to stall, while the mechs on the amateur welder's side were fully charged after investing enough magic crystals.

"One more time!"

This time, the amateur welder naturally targeted the location of the wound he had previously created.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion rang out.

The bone in that area was directly cracked.

Seeing this, the amateur welder knew it was time.

The amateur welder controlled the mech, raising its giant scythe and charging once again at the mantis BOSS, who had just regained its footing.

Meanwhile, the Mantis BOSS's crimson compound eyes were firmly locked onto the charging mech.

The next moment, two menacing secondary bone blades were raised in a cross shape.

"Here it comes!" The amateur welder stared intently at the mantis BOSS, ready to respond.

Two jet-black slashes, far more refined than before, instantly shot out from the blade, crisscrossing and cutting towards the location of the welder's mech.

Wherever the cleaving wave passed, the space emitted a terrifying sound as if it were being forcibly torn apart.

"Damn it! Come on!" the welder roared, and the jets on the back of the mech burst out with blinding blue flames. Then, the mech made an evasive maneuver at high speed, barely dodging the attack.

Immediately afterwards, the mech swung its giant scythe and slashed directly at the mantis's wound.

"Pfft!"

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out.

This was followed by the Mantis Boss's painful roar, as the aggrieved Mantis Boss unleashed another slash.

This left amateur welders with no way to avoid it.

The next moment, various complex magic circles appeared on the surface of the mecha.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the mech was sent flying by the powerful slashing force, rolling several times on the ground before barely managing to get back on its feet.

Players saw that many parts flew off the mech.

"Damn, welder, what's going on over there?"

"I'm numb, did I accidentally destroy the mecha...?"

97

"Damn it, what the hell are you doing?"

"He won't die!!" the welder's voice rang out. "Damn, this damage is a bit outrageous."

"Brothers, I already know how to fight this praying mantis."

After the fight, the amateur welder had figured out the situation.

If this mantis attacks head-on, they simply won't be able to withstand the damage.

"Feng Xiaoxiao is yours now. You guys hold off the mantis in front; there's something wrong with the mantis's aggro mechanism."

"He will only attack the closest and most threatening target. We'll create some distance, and you guys can draw aggro from the front."

"Then slowly whittle down his health from a distance."

This is the most reliable method that an amateur welder could think of.

They have virtually no chance of winning head-on; they simply can't withstand that level of damage.

Therefore, we have no choice but to find another way and adopt this strategy of attrition over long distances.

Slowly consuming it, the amateur welder still didn't believe that the mantis's blood was unlimited, allowing them to keep draining it indefinitely.

Upon hearing what the amateur welder said, everyone immediately changed their tactics.

And so, apart from Feng Xiaoxiao and a few other players who were using AI, all the other players consciously kept their distance, then took out their mortars, set them up, and started bombing the positions they aimed at.
