Chapter 685: Chapter 212: General of the Broken Star! (Game storyline content, can be skipped)_2

Renara’s Full Moon Cover shattered, and her body fell from mid-air, collapsing limply onto the ground.

Players could take this opportunity to deal massive damage.

This mechanic was immediately criticized by numerous comments.

"What a Mario."

"An expert in dodging."

"You know, this mechanic actually appeals to someone clumsy like me. After breaking through the defense three times, I can consistently deal damage to the BOSS, how satisfying."

Of course, although the mechanics seemed simple and easy to understand,

this game was called "Elden Ring," and it even created a very special genre-type for Blue Star.

Most Blue Star players were still fresh to the genre-like concept,

so they only had a vague, general idea when it came up.

But one thing was for certain—the difficulty was not low.

Therefore, as Dai searched for the glowing girls in the grand library scene, he went through quite some hardships.

The dozens of girls around him were also capable of attacking, either controlling the surrounding books to smash at the player or at places where monsters gathered, books flying towards the player’s face five or six at a time was no exaggeration.

Or they would control the chandeliers above to smash down on the player, this skill dealing considerable damage, any dip below half health could lead to being killed instantly.

However, the overall difficulty was not too great.

After quickly finding three glowing girls and defeating them one by one,

Renara descended from mid-air, and the time was ripe for the player’s onslaught!

Dai advanced swiftly with his sword, not feeling a hint of pity because the BOSS was a frail woman.

His continuous slashes burst into sprays of blood upon her.

Bringing her health down below half, he repeated the mechanic just as before.

When Renara fell for the second time, the remaining half of her health was not enough to withstand Dai’s frenzied assault.

With a whimper, she fell to the ground, motionless.

"Huff..." Dai let out a light exhale.

"This BOSS seems pretty easy, huh? Can this really be the final BOSS of the big region like Liyenia?"

"Feels like a Performing BOSS."

The scene was certainly lavish, and the eerie atmosphere was well-established.

It was just that the difficulty was a little too low, seemed a bit unworthy of being a BOSS in a genre-like game.

But just as this thought took shape,

it was quickly interrupted by the cut-scene CG.

And it made Dai’s recently relaxed expression tense up again in an instant.

He had thought that depleting one health bar of Renara would signify the end of the BOSS battle,

since all the proper BOSSes fought previously, the moment their health bars popped up,

whether it was the Big Tree Guardian or Omen, the Corrupted Treant or the incarnation of the Golden Tree, or even Nimgreifu’s final BOSS—Gerrick,

all had just one health bar.

But when it came to Renara,

she actually had two bars of health!

What Dai had fought through was just her first phase...

The real second phase changed the very scene the player was in!

A being named Lani, claiming to be Renara’s daughter,

started to remotely control her mother.

And she forcibly dragged the player into a water space so vast there seemed to be no end in sight.

All around, platforms were at the water’s constant level; Renara, from her formerly desolate state to now, had stood up, floating slightly in mid-air.

As she waved her magic wand, a full moon slowly emerged behind her.

"Damn, is this her full glory?" Dai had just begun to exclaim in astonishment,

when he saw Renara rapidly shake her magic wand.

A stream of soul torrent shot straight toward the Fading One!

Luckily, Dai rolled quickly, narrowly avoiding the magic by hugging close to it.

As he closed the distance, he swiftly switched his weapon to the Ogre Greatsword.

Charging the greatsword fully, he chopped down with one strike!

Indeed, the weakness of these magicians was their fear of close-quarters combat.

One slash of the greatsword could shave off nearly 1/10 of the queen’s health bar.

While she was casting the torrent, he could even land two charged hits.

20% of the BOSS’s health vanished in an instant.

The damage was quite optimistic.

Plus, Renara’s various magic abilities had obvious tells before casting.

Once he saw her shake her magic wand, he just needed to quickly distance himself and then roll to dodge.

Then quickly close in for an assault.

Utter joy.

In just over a minute, Renara’s health was reduced below half.

"This is even easier than Gerrick," Dai’s smile just began to emerge on his face,

when the next second, he froze in place.

Afterward, his pupils dilated further.

He saw the queen, after being reduced to half health, raise her magic wand,

and a whitish-gray shadow slowly solidified in front of her.

That color, Dai was very familiar with.

Wasn’t this our Fading One’s unique skill, Summoning Ashes?

From initially summoning the jellyfish girl Kulara to later swapping it with the three wolves, puppet soldiers, and a series of other ashes,

these ashes have been a great help in battles for the players.

Apart from dealing damage themselves, they could divert the BOSS’s aggro, reducing the player’s burden, which truly eased much of the player’s suffering journey.

But why...

Could this queen also summon?

And it’s one thing for you to summon ashes,

but what is the meaning of summoning a whole dragon directly???

As the phantom of the giant dragon gradually became real, Dai almost popped his eyeballs out of their sockets.

Looking at its form, it was practically the spitting image of the Luminous Stone Dragon he had encountered when retrieving the key to the Magic School, capable of instantly killing a player with a single breath of dragon fire.

"This... this..." Dai became numb.

Do you realize the mental trauma you inflicted on me when you summoned this dragon...

The dragon’s attacks were not many: dragon breath, dive bombing, stomping.

But each move covered a not-so-small area.
