Chapter 1554: 522. Vampire Clan - Thorn Branch Opens! - [Monthly Ticket Additional Release 4/10]_2

The Thorns Duke’s war blessing is applied!

All blessed individuals experience a 20% increase in attack speed, their hit rate adjusted to 100%, a significant boost in critical hit rate, and they gain the true reflection damage effect of [Thorns Shadow].

The application of the triple Gold-tier buffs temporarily elevated the combat capabilities of 40 small players beyond the Silver tier at this moment. They basked in the blessing of a mighty being, feeling an almost omnipotent surge of power.

The melee fighters closed in, delivering a flurry of attacks that slashed Sir Murphy’s health bar down to 15%. The spectacle sent the entire audience on the stands and the square into a frenzy.

Such formidable attack power! Such overwhelming might!

If Sir Murphy cannot break free, it’s estimated that in just a few more seconds, he’d be utterly defeated!

"Shua."

This wave of enhancements did not trigger Murphy’s "Dimensional Slash" full-screen attack, but the ultimate Star Realm Slow debuff was widely applied, lasting for a full six seconds, causing all players in the arena to find their movement speed reduced to zero and left awkwardly advancing in slow motion.

Seizing the moment, Murphy flapped his wings and soared into the sky, his body now riddled with battle marks. The excessive use of Mannis’s power caused Murphy’s hair to turn an eerie pure white at this moment.

"Holy crap! A third transformation!"

A small player on the stands exclaimed in shock.

Evidently, Murphy’s transformation appeared to them as the prelude to unleashing a devastating ultimate ability!

"Your growth has filled me with pride. You have forced me into a corner, and you’ve proven yourselves worthy of the title ’Sword of Transylvania’! You have already won. But before you tread upon the Black Disaster Battlefield, I still wish for you to truly experience the most lethal power that exists on this continent..."

Murphy’s gentle voice echoed across the arena, and at this moment, the interfaces of the players trapped in slow motion displayed a notification: "Governor Challenge Completed!" Yet, the battle did not end there.

They saw Sir Murphy put away his weapon, and with a cool flick of his fingers, the pendant on his wrist transformed into a bizarre metallic magic wand.

In that instant, the faces of six student players in the crowd turned pale!

They recognized the magic wand in Murphy’s hand—it was none other than the Magic Artifact held by the roaming "Field BOSS" they’d encountered earlier. They could fully understand the perilous "combo attacks" this weapon might trigger!

"Drink potions! Prepare your talismans! Quickly!"

Good Pigeon roared at the top of his lungs within the team communication framework:

"That thing’s going to drag us into the Star Realm! Sir Murphy is about to unleash Summoner powers, get ready for the assault!"

His timely warning prompted everyone to grip the decisive elixir on their waists with utmost effort. In the next second, as Murphy raised the Star Realm Guide Staff, spatial alignment was confirmed, and positional transference activated!

"Shua."

The pulsating halo of Star Realm Spiritual Energy shimmered like the open maw of a giant beast. In the following moment, the forty warriors, fully equipped with triple Gold buffs and brimming with overwhelming momentum, were flung into the Star Realm.

Due to Murphy holding the Star Realm Guide Staff as a "node," all the other "Spiritual Energy live broadcasts" on the square were disrupted at the moment of dimensional collision. However, the view maintained personally by Miss Phemys endured, albeit rendered blurry and unstable by energy interference.

Yet, at this moment, all the spectators still managed to witness the opponent the warriors would face in this "third phase."

Endless Mannis was evidently being generous. Moreover, its luck seemed to be good today, as it did not manifest in the form of the pitiful little serpent. Though not appearing as its most powerful Star Serpent form, judging by its colossal size at the moment, today it at least assumed the "World Serpent" state.

This entity stood amid the chaotic temporal currents, facing the forty challengers head-on.

The most intriguing detail was that this creature even thoughtfully provided the forty young combatants with a floating Star Realm island on which to stand.

But even with this concession, the bravest and most fearless among the players, Brother Cat and Sister Pomegranate, were momentarily struck dumb in stunned silence.

They were utterly shell-shocked. Facing the "World Serpent," whose head alone was the size of a castle, even the most capable fighters couldn’t possibly win.

"Holy... blatant cheating! GM, aren’t you going to do something about this? How on earth is this the summoned creature of a Black Iron BOSS?"

Cheche stomped his feet in frustration from the crowd, cursing loudly:

"I knew it! I knew that snake, which got me killed twice, had to be extraordinary. But I never imagined—damn it, it’s actually Sir Murphy’s summoned beast! Damn it, is this the majesty of a main storyline NPC?"

Stick Brother, after confirming several times that the Holy Blood Festival main storyline—Governor Challenge—had already been completed, let out a sigh of relief. Although failing to personally defeat Sir Murphy was slightly disappointing, upon contemplating, it did seem unfitting for a main storyline NPC to be defeated by them at this stage.

Thus, this third phase was essentially a plot device, serving as an extravagant cutscene for the players to marvel at.

However, just as everyone was preparing to relax, a small prompt suddenly popped up on their individual player interface:

[World BOSS "Endless One" Mannis has appeared! This scene is the ’Governor Challenge: Bonus Stage.’ In this stage, each successful hit on Mannis yields one "Blood Vulture Clan War Manual."

The manual contains advanced swordsmanship, advanced martial techniques, advanced Spiritual Energy spell forms, and advanced armament intelligence.

The bonus stage lasts three minutes. When the countdown ends, the stage will close!

Current Countdown: 2M59S]

"I am Mannis, known as the Endless One!"
