Chapter 656: 350

Meanwhile, the range of the Magma Bomb had been magnified by 50 times, causing what originally would have been random attacks on a small area of lava to now cover two-thirds of the screen. Consequently, the chances of getting hit were significantly increased!

With such high power and wide range, no wonder it could instantly wipe out so many of them!

Upon examining the boss’s attributes, Mu You immediately understood that this monster was specifically intended for higher-level players to take on alone. The Zerg Strategy had no effect on it; on the contrary, the more people that entered, the faster they died.

[After a single strike, the Lord of Fire notices surviving enemies and immediately casts a spell.]

[A surging Rain of Fire appears above your heads. Lava and flames fall intensively, covering the entire platform with a full-range attack.]

[Unseeable Through Fog has entered near-death status and has automatically exited the Underground City.]

[Lin Haihai has entered near-death status and has automatically exited the Underground City.]

[You are grievously wounded by the flames, the Life Barrier automatically activates, and your life is retained at a minimum...]

Another full-screen Ultimate Move was cast by the monster, leaving only Mu You at the scene, who could only sustain his life thanks to the Life Barrier.

Mu You quickly refilled his health to prevent from being judged as near dying and be automatically kicked out when the barrier’s time expired.

The monster’s two abilities dealt fire damage. At this moment, he could use a Fire Resistance Potion to be immune to fire damage for five minutes, making the two most troublesome abilities useless. He then just had to physically fight a level-25 demon.

Of course, trying to exterminate a nearly 30,000 health-points level-25 creature in five minutes was still quite challenging.

If Lin Xue used the scythe, it might have been possible to kill the monster relatively easily, but once the scythe was used, the monster would be permanently killed and couldn’t be revived. The Fool’s Ancestors had placed the creature there for their family to continuously farm. It was clearly inappropriate to eradicate it completely.

Mu You didn’t manage to find a particularly effective method. He was only relying on the Retrospective Prophet and the Life Barrier to dodge the enemy’s ultimate moves, making retaliating quite hard.

Soon, the time limit for the Underground City had completely run out, and Mu You was automatically returned to the ground level.

The few people stood at the entrance without speaking. The team chat was silent. They were evidently shocked by the intensity of the Lord of Fire.

They should have known, before they had managed to straightforwardly reach the final stage without any injuries, none of them had expected that nearly the entire team would be wiped out by a single creature with just two moves. Even for a boss, wasn’t this a little too absurd?

"Let’s do it again."

Mu You was the first to speak: "Don’t worry, there should be no problem this time."

Last time, they failed to clear, part of it was because they ran out of time, and the other part was that too many people had entered causing the Lord of Fire’s strength to become too overwhelming. To the point where he had no room to counterattack and could only run away the whole time.

"Okay."

The others nodded. Just now, after their team was wiped out, Mu You managed to stay for the full duration before being kicked out. This meant that he should have the ability to farm this monster, just that he ran out of time.

After the few of them rested and regained full health, they re-entered the Underground City.

Having previous experiences, this time they knew the ropes and the map was already fully explored. They didn’t even need to communicate to coordinate smoothly.

Also, due to having previously eliminated the monsters in the latter half of the dungeon, they were met with minimal obstacles this time. In the end, they managed to reach the final area again after only approximately forty minutes.

"I’ll do this alone."

Mu You said, and then further explained: "The more people that fight this monster, the stronger it gets. It’s easier to fight it one-on-one."

"Oh, I see."

None of the others objected.

Mu You entered alone, first running to the center of the platform to draw out the Lord of Fire to test it out.

As suspected, this time the zone of the Magma Bomb was reduced to a small area, and its power significantly weakened. Mu You was able to dodge it easily with the Pocket Watch.

He had twenty minutes left. Even if he relied solely on the effects of God’s Strength, he would have more than enough time to gradually whittle down the enemy’s health.

In fact, it was even quicker than that.

About fifteen minutes later, all players in Dawn City received a pop-up notification in-game.

[The final demon of the first floor of the Underground City, ’Lord of Fire’, has been defeated. Slayers: Ghost Captain, Fragrant Elegance, Lin Haihai, Unseeable Through Fog, Insect Cheering Ice.]

[The entrance to the second floor of the Underground City is now open.]

"Wow--"

All who received the message were instantly in an uproar.

The final demon?

This unfamiliar name made many people instantly think of many things, there were actually special boss-like monsters in the Underground City!

What was even more crucial was that the Underground City had only been open for a short time. Just a few hours to be exact, while other people were still in the initial opening stages acting cautiously, every piece of gem harvested could excite them for a good while.

However, while everyone was still fumbling as beginners, this group of people directly led a team to clear the bottom boss of the dungeon. They even opened the entrance to the second level. They were about to explore the deeper levels, the gap between them was...

Instantly, countless posts expressing awe and astonishment appeared on the forum, but curiosity dominated.

There was only one guardian monster on the entire first floor, which was equivalent to the world boss in online games. Killing such a level of monster, what rewards could be obtained?

And while everyone on the forum was curious about what the rewards were, at this moment, in the Temple of Flames, Mu You’s character was indeed collecting the rewards.

[In the place where the Lord of Fire died and disappeared, you found an ’Evolution Gem-Flames’, ’Sky Gloves’, ’10000 Experience Book’*1.]

[Your Fire Resistance permanently increased by +50 points.]

The rewards weren’t much, only four kinds. Among these, also included two non-material rewards which were experience and fire resistance.

As for the two items, one was a finished part of the Epic Sky set, and the other was a gem.

[Evolution Gem-Flames: Can be used at the Blacksmith’s shop, can cause a piece of equipment no higher than the Epic level to evolve to the Fire Element, upgrading one level in quality.]

A level in quality upgrade, meaning that this gem could evolve an Epic piece of equipment into a legendary one!

Clearly, the gem was the key among the boss’s drops this time.

This was the first time that Mu You had seen an item that could directly upgrade the quality of legendary equipment. It even didn’t require several pieces of equipment to be used for high-level synthesis like the Synthesis Furnace. Just use this stone, and an Epic piece instantly turns legendary!

This item was pretty significant because this monster refreshed every week. If he could acquire an Evolution Gem after every kill in the future, this would mean that there’s finally a stable way to acquire legendary equipment.
