We continued to advance deeper into the Tomb of the Death God. The second boss was an undead mage, and Kiss Scar had asked to be the tank. However, she lost almost 300k HP to two Death Fireballs. She was so scared that she retreated with a pale face and said, "Boss, you should go …"
I was speechless. Kiss Scar's max HP was only 600k even after consuming a Bloodknight Card. One critical hit, and she could die instantly.
We took down the second boss without any mishaps, and our luck was pretty good. Three S2 equipment dropped: the metal armor Death God's Iron Wrists, Death God's Leggings, and a leather armor Death God's Leather Helmet. The archer was overjoyed to finally get an S2 equipment set, but the two priests were speechless. They hadn't even seen a shadow of cloth armor from start to finish.
The S2 equipment set only had five pieces: helmet, chestplate, wristguards, leggings, and boots. Kiss Scar now had four of them, and she was getting closer and closer to becoming an S2 equipment set.
… …
Kiss Scar looked up at the bright moonlight as we walked on the dark, corroded ground. She smiled and said, "What a happy feeling. It would be even happier if the last boss dropped the Death God's Battle Armor. Would I be the first person to gather all the S2 equipment in one go?"
I shook my head. "That'll be difficult. The Death God's Chestplate only drops from the last boss, and the drop rate is less than 3%. Even with my Luck, the drop rate is about 22%. That's less than a quarter, so don't get your hopes up too high. Also, if Kiss Scar doesn't drop it this time, we'll try again next time.
"Alright, it's fine. I'm already satisfied with four S2 equipment sets."
"That's good. Let's get ready for the last boss …"
I checked my experience bar and said, "I'm 9% away from reaching Level 210 and completing my eighth promotion. I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of skills I'll get after I complete my eighth promotion …"
Kiss Scar smiled. "Let's kill the boss first …"
"Mn."
… …
Countless totem pillars appeared on both sides of the path in front of us. At the end of the totem pillars was a pitch-black throne, but it was too far away to be seen clearly.
Kiss Scar opened her eyes wide and asked, "What's that black thing on the throne?"
He raised the Zi Ying Sword. Under the illumination of the light, everyone was surprised. A black-armored general who had been dead for who knew how long sat on the sword. A dusty sword lay across his legs. His head was lowered, and there was no light in the eye sockets of his rotting skull. Fans of the book liked to read: "The Dark Knight".
Hickey patted the dead Grim Reaper's shoulder and shrugged, "Oh no, the last boss is dead. What do we do now?
Who fought the last S2 Boss? Let's go get some experience! "
The archer was speechless. "I don't know …"
I walked up and said with a smile, "Aiyo, the Death God's weapon. Let me appraise it first …"
I reached out and wiped the dust off the blade. The blade immediately shone with a dazzling luster. Holy shit, it really was a divine weapon. I can't believe it still retained its luster after so many years. I wonder what my Purple Ying Sword would look like after ten thousand years.
I grabbed the hilt and pulled the Death God's blade toward me. "No matter what, I can't go back empty-handed. I'll be taking this sword …"
… …
It was at this moment a voice suddenly entered my ears. "Do you want to die?
Adventurers from afar … "
"What's that sound?" Kiss Scar pricked up her ears.
I looked up and saw the Death God slowly raising his head. His black eye sockets were glowing with a terrifying red light, and the rotten skin at the corner of his mouth curled upward. He spoke in a voice that seemed to come from hell, "I've been asleep for tens of thousands of years, and you've disturbed me. Tell me, how do you want me to die?"
Kiss Scar retreated a few steps, and I followed suit. The Grim Reaper abruptly rose to his feet, his cape fluttering in the wind. He roared majestically, "Do you really think I've been imprisoned here for tens of thousands of years just to welcome these ant-like weaklings into my life?"
Whoosh!
I flicked my wrist and tossed the Purple Ying Sword into the air. I smiled and said, "Old man, we're not weaklings. Book lovers like to read:!"
"Come!"
The Death God abruptly leaped into the air, his blade glowing red. It was clearly undead energy. He shouted, "Eat this! Have a taste of death!"
I hurriedly raised the Dragon God Shield to block the attack!
"Bang!"
My arm went numb. It was a feeling I had never felt before. It felt like my bones were about to shatter. Moreover, I didn't manage to block it. The Death God's blade shattered and cut into my shoulder. I felt a heart-wrenching pain as the long HP bar above my head dropped by a huge chunk — — 252727!
Holy shit, I finally understood why so many powerful parties couldn't beat an S2. Even with my incredible Defense, I still lost so much HP in a single hit. Any other mounted player would've been one-shot already. There weren't many players in the entire world who could survive an attack like this!
"Heal!"
I retreated swiftly to slow myself down and retaliated. The Purple Ying Sword glowed with purple light as I stabbed the Death God's neck with Purple Frost Infusion. This time, the Death God's Defense was reduced by 31.4%. The Death God's resistances were incredibly high, so it was already impressive that it was able to reduce his Defense by that much.
Behind me, the two priests continuously healed me, proving how wise my decision was.
I raised Burning Blade Slash and hit the Death God in the chest. Today, I was going to fight this boss head-on with the might of the Ancient Divine Dragon. Let's see if I could handle this S2 Rank dungeon!
… …
"Damned adventurers, accept the verdict of death!"
The Death God was furious. Soaring into the air, he raised his sword and fired three beams of angry light at me. Then, he shouted, "Ancient Adjudication!"
The skill was so powerful that I hurriedly raised the Dragon God Shield and entered Guard!
Bang bang bang!
My body shook and the Ancient Divine Dragon let out a mournful wail as it retreated with me. Ancient Judgment's three consecutive hits blasted my shield away and landed directly on my body. The boss's rank was too high, so it could completely ignore any player's block. My defensive skills were instantly destroyed.
“210920！”
“245838！”
“512294！”
… …
The third hit was a critical one. In an instant, I was left with less than 10% HP. I wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Kiss and the two priests were scared out of their wits. I had high resistances, but I was still being beaten so badly. I was starting to worry about He Yi's party. Could they beat this OP Grim Reaper?
Swhoosh!
Tenacity of the Dead pulled me back to 25% HP in one go, and the priests behind me kept healing me. At the same time, I raised the Purple Ying Sword and used Pardon + basic attack + Universe Break to penetrate the boss's neck. The moment the Purple Ying Sword penetrated the boss's body, black blood and tattered flesh spurted out of the wound. The Death God's attack couldn't withstand it, but it couldn't withstand mine either!
“MISS！”
“1949794！”
“+389958！”
“312284！”
“+62457！”
… …
Motherfucker, this is awesome! Pardon dealt 7x damage to me and healed me for almost 400k HP. The two male priests were so stunned that their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. "Holy shit, is this a fight between a player and a boss?
This is f * cking hell … This is a battle between gods … "
The scene of a top-tier player fighting a boss was so brutal that the hearts of normal players couldn't take it anymore. Everyone else was just watching it like normal.
As a result, the Purple Ying Sword's 20% lifesteal allowed me to fight the Level 250 Demigod-ranked Death God to a standstill. Every so often, I would drop below 25% HP, and I would rely on my unkillable recovery to heal myself back to full health. The 20% lifesteal and 7x damage buff were my most OP assets. Without either of them, I wouldn't be able to kill this boss.
As for the two priests, they could only heal around 50k HP or so. If it was Murong Mingyue, she could heal me for at least 100k HP in one go. Moreover, her critical rate was super high, and she could heal me back to full health in no time at all. I really missed her.
… …
Almost 30 minutes later, the Death God's HP had dropped to 2% or so. Kiss Scar's face was brimming with joy. "Will a Demigod-ranked boss drop a Cambrian Divine Armament or something?"
I pouted. "Stop dreaming. It'll be lucky if the Death God's Battle Armor drops …"
"You're right …"
I took a few steps backward while the Phantom Wolf King and my apparition blocked the boss's attack. Meanwhile, I raised my hand and unleashed Purple Dragon Howl!
Boom!
Purple Dragon Howl and Call of the Wind and Summon the Rain intertwined, and the boss let out a scream of pain. The next moment, the Death God fell from the sky and smashed a huge crater into the ground, dropping a bunch of equipment.
Swhoosh. Everyone else, watch it like normal:!
Golden light enveloped me, and I finally reached Level 210. I didn't know if I was the first player to fulfill the eighth class promotion requirement, but it was awesome!
Hickey rushed forward and knelt down in the crater. He searched for the equipment that the boss had dropped. Suddenly, he was overjoyed. He held a dark red armor in his hands and was so excited that tears almost fell out of his eyes. "Ah … it's the Grim Reaper's Armor. It's really the Grim Reaper's Armor. I … I've gathered all the S2 godly equipment …"
I smiled and said, "Let's check out the rest. Don't be so selfish."
"Mn."
It didn't take long before I found an S2 leather armor and two cloth armor items. I gave one to the priests and one to each of them. As for myself, I was satisfied that I had come here purely to collect equipment.
… …
Crack!
The Death God's Battle Armor appeared on Kiss Scar's body. The murderous armor outlined the devilish curves of a western woman, especially her voluptuous breasts. Tsk tsk, western women's bodies are just too devilish sometimes. Compared to eastern women, they have a different flavor.
"What do you think? Do I look good in an S2?" Kiss Scar asked with a smile.
I nodded. "Mn."
"Thank you, Lu Chen!"
"You're welcome. I'm going to my eighth class promotion now. Everyone, do you want to take a break?" I said.
"Mn."
… …
After exiting the dungeon, I rested for a while before riding on the Ancient Divine Dragon. It was time to return to the edge of my homeland and find my long-lost trainer at Dragonbone Mountain Range.
