Chapter 684: Chapter 212: General of the Broken Star! (Game storyline content, can be skipped)_1

Compared to other streamers who always lingered on the outskirts of Liyenia,

Dai was undoubtedly progressing much faster.

Following the instructions on a battered map, he arrived at the back of the Magic School and reached the location of the key.

A giant dragon guarded the place.

Its Dragon Breath stretched for hundreds of meters, dealing extraordinarily high damage with little room for error.

After two attempts, Dai decisively gave up and chose to grab the key and make a swift escape on horseback.

Upon reaching the Magic School at record speed, he encountered a group of magic students wearing odd stone effigy masks.

These students, armed with Magic Wands, could release distant and swift Comet Magic that slightly homes in on their targets, initially putting considerable pressure on the players.

However, after adapting, they weren’t too difficult to defeat.

The student monsters mainly relied on ranged suppression, but their defense was remarkably weak; getting up close allowed one to easily dispatch them with just two strikes.

During the exploration forward,

players would encounter even more bizarre and varied monsters.

There were humanoid mechanical puppets with three heads and six arms like Nezha, wielding several bows and unleashing a barrage of arrows in a frenzy, which could swiftly deplete more than half of the player’s health if taken lightly.

There were also skeletal humanoid mummies wrapped in mud, with slow attack motions; however, their special attack was to leap and cling onto players, vigorously biting them, and should not be underestimated.

In addition to these two types of domestic monsters within the student ranks,

Dai also encountered a group of soldiers known as the Azalea Knights.

Compared to Stonewell’s melee soldiers,

these Azalea Knights were more agile, occasionally casting sword-based magic.

Upon their defeat, details gleaned from the dropped equipment revealed that

the Azalea Knights were not loyal to the Magic School, but a group of foreign mercenaries.

Although mercenaries, they were always ready to strike at the opportunity, intent on gradually devouring the venerable institution.

Indeed, their name "Azalea" fittingly mirrored their parasitic actions—like a cuckoo usurping another’s nest, an act deemed contemptible.

During the exploration, Dai also experienced several deaths.

But with death came growth.

With each demise, he absorbed various tactics for battling the monsters to a greater or lesser degree.

Initially infiltrating the Magic School, six vials of health were not enough for him.

But after dying a few times, Dai managed to fight his way to the interior with only two vials of health consumed.

The improvement in his growth was visibly remarkable.

Progressing further, after defeating a dog-wielding-sword boss named Radagan’s Red Wolf, the area leading to the true boss zone of the Magic School was unlocked.

Passing through the Iron Maiden, rolling past huge iron balls, and following the circular corridor upward, Dai confronted the final guard before the ultimate boss—Calia Knight: Mugram.

Unlike the disloyal Azalea Knights,

Calia Knights were the true elite of Liyenia.

They swore their lives to the Calia royal family.

However, they were decimated in the aftermath of the Broken Star war, gravely weakened, and could hardly gather new forces.

That’s why,

in the players’ exploration of the Magic School, within a territory ostensibly under Calia royal control, few of the orthodox military were seen.

Instead, the Azalea Knights, more of a ragtag army, were rampant across all corners of the Magic School.

Mugram was truly worthy of being the personal guard of the Calia Queen.

As an Elite Monster with a red name,

Dai stumbled several times against him.

The reason was simple:

The Knight’s Shield Counter was nearly a guaranteed life lesson.

If a player dared to strike his shield, he could instantly parry, leaving the player stunned.

Then he would deliver the finishing blow.

However, after several deaths, Dai discovered that jumping slashes were particularly effective against him,

and he smoothly overcame the challenge.

Ascending on a large lift,

he finally arrived in front of a grand and thick door.

Pushing hard against the door, players would step into a somewhat eerie area—

the grand library of the Magic School.

Filled with a variety of books, this vast room

was far overshadowed by the impressive staging of the boss battle.

Known as the "Full Moon Queen", Renara’s official position was the headmistress of the Magic School and the supreme authority of the Calia royal family.

Unlike the various bosses and monsters encountered earlier, which were mostly unsightly,

Renara’s features were fine and beautiful, wearing a tall crescent moon hat and a large robe.

Hovering in the center of a giant dark golden halo, as if hiding within a full moon, she cradled a large, gleaming golden amber resembling a fetus in her arms.

This female boss was undeniably extravagant,

but her overall presence exuded a somewhat sinister vibe.

Different from the disconcerting sensation from Gerrick,

the ambiance in the great library instilled more of an eerie chill in the players.

Because, beneath the floating queen,

numerous delicate-faced girls in magic robes and doctoral caps were crawling on the ground.

Truly crawling, for they were like defective products, lacking lower bodies

and could only move around the room by dragging themselves with their arms.

They occasionally whispered, cried, or sang out loud,

not loudly, but the soft, sinister tone constantly lingered in the room, making Dai’s scalp tingle.

When the boss battle finally began,

players could not directly attack the hovering and invincible Golden Bell Cover-protected Queen Renara.

They first had to find one of the dozens of half-bodied girls radiating a faint golden glow and kill her.

The glow would then randomly transfer to another girl.

After killing three half-bodied girls in this manner,
