Fortunately, before starting the Boss fight, Zi Liyuan, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, had cleared all other monsters except for the Bosses.
Otherwise, he would have been beaten up by the Boss and the minions without knowing how he died.
In the current battle, Zi Liyuan focused solely on summoning Skeleton Knights continuously, then launched a group Charge at the two Bosses, only to be smashed into pieces of white bones, waiting for the subsequent skeleton brothers to continue the bone delivery service.
Of course, Zi Liyuan initially thought of using the Skeleton Knight’s skills to interrupt the two-headed ogre Mage’s spellcasting, thereby preventing it from throwing out the Fire Meteor skill.
The idea was good, but the reality was a bit skeletal.
After being tricked once at the beginning, the two-headed ogre kept casting “Bloodthirsty Technique” and “Frenzy Arts” buffs on itself.
These two buffs could effectively reduce the spell chanting time and slightly resist abnormal status.
Plus, with both Hero Bosses being as high as LV40 and having a huge level difference with Zi Liyuan, they had hidden resistance enhancements, meaning the stun effect that came with the Charge skill of the Skeleton Knights was very hard to trigger.
Watching the unceasing Charge of the Skeleton Knights, Zi Liyuan continued summoning with one hand grasping the Magic Wand, while with his other hand, he fished out potions from the Spatial Backpack and swallowed them down, fighting back the nausea.
The intense battles over the past few days were so frequent that medicine was always necessary, and the potions tasted so bad that he felt like vomiting.
The only thing that kept him going was the steadily decreasing health of the two Hero Bosses.
For every 32 Skeleton Knights charging, even after using the “Charge” skill to accelerate, less than 20 would actually strike the Bosses.
That’s because the chief bastard carried a huge Wolf Fang Club!
Not to mention the length of the weapon, his large frame allowed him to attack targets within a five-meter range.
In addition, the chief had a physical damage of 520, and with “Bloodthirsty Technique” and “Frenzy Arts” buffs, he also had a “Battle of Blood” skill that increased damage and speed.
Whether it was attack frequency or damage, fighting against the variously buffed and strengthened Skeleton Knights was as simple as playing Whack-a- Mole.
They shattered on contact, crumbled on touch, and perished on a graze.
The 520 health of the Skeleton Knights couldn’t withstand even one normal hit!
However, 20 Skeleton Knights managing to Charge at the Boss could still inflict 80+ damage each.
Meaning, one round of suicidal Charge attacks could deal a total of 1600+ damage.
With Zi Liyuan’s microcontrol ensuring both Bosses’ health percentages were within a 5% difference, there was no worry about the Bosses regenerating health, and all that was left was a war of attrition.
As for who would fall first, Zi Liyuan figured that he had plenty of high-quality potions; it was just that he had taken so many that his bladder was becoming distended and he feared he might wet his pants if he couldn’t hold it in.
If only he had known, he should have packed some diapers in his Spatial Backpack for moments of need!
After re-strategizing for a hefty twenty minutes, the health of both Bosses was simultaneously pushed down to 10%, and the situation on the field immediately shifted.
With a ferocious roar, the bodies of the two Bosses suddenly inflated and enlarged. Then eight bloodthirsty, red eyes fixed deathly on Zi Liyuan.
In the next instant, the two-headed Ogre Chief, with a howl, charged towards Zi Liyuan like a heavy-duty tank, completely ignoring the Skeleton Knights that had been besieging him.
The two-headed Ogre Mage swung out a ring of fire with its hand, instantly clearing all skeletons within a 50-meter radius, then a giant ball of crimson and white fire twirled in its hands, radiating ferocious heat, and shot towards Zi Liyuan.
At this moment, the aggro chain was broken!
The same happened with the two Bosses’ “Fairy Tale Love” skill—it lost its effect too!
What was left in the eyes of the two Bosses was only Zi Liyuan, the third wheel who disrupted their moment; thus, they initiated the tactic of “catch the thief first, catch the king,” targeting the homewrecker with a decapitation strike!
“Fuck your aunt’s chicken neck dungeon! Could it be any more bullshit?”
The sudden change made Zi Liyuan curse loudly, and then he hesitated not even a moment to duck behind the clay Stone Demon.
At the same time, he summoned a new batch of Skeleton Knights, charging at the chieftain in an attempt to intercept him.
“What the hell kind of chicken neck skill is this, doubling the attack speed and immune to control!”
Looking at the two ogres glowing with a bloody aura, Zi Liyuan failed to discern what ability this was and instantly felt a surge of frustration.
Previously, with too many skills and not enough experience points, he had to selectively level up some of the important skills.
The recently learned and strengthened Eye of Shadows hadn’t been upgraded, and now a level 1 ability simply couldn’t detect the detailed stats of a level 40 hero boss.
“This little guy’s strategic thinking isn’t bad, managing to adjust in such a short amount of time—he’s got talent.”
“A Necromancer’s Skeleton Summoning stream has its advantages against this dungeon’s guardian boss. It can easily handle the first and second stages; I just don’t knowhow he will deal with the two hero bosses going berserk in the last, third stage.”
“What else can he do? Skeletons, skeletons, and more skeletons, summoning a bunch of skeletons as cannon fodder while scurrying around like a frightened mouse. He can just drag it out and wear the two bosses down.”
“The boss’s health is about to drop below 10%. Let’s see how he deals with the third stage then.”
Nine voyeuristic old geezers chattered away, each watching the spectacle on the altar projection with eyes full of mockery.
The enraged boss, immune to any control abilities, had eyes only for one person, completely ignoring the damage from the Skeleton Knights, hell-bent on taking down Zi Liyuan.
But Zi Liyuan wasn’t panicked at all; even after seeing that the 32 Skeleton Knights hardly delayed the chieftain for a second, he didn’t run around like a headless chicken. Instead, he coolly summoned more Skeleton Knights and charged at the two-headed ogre mage.
If he couldn’t stop the chieftain’s onslaught, then he wouldn’t block at all!
Screw it, I’ll just take this guy one-on-one, send my minions to gang up on his wife, and then we’ll see who ends up the deer on the chopping block!
So, the summoned Skeleton Knights started to furiously gang up on the two- headed ogre mage.
A dark grey energy coalesced into an arrow and shot explosively toward the chieftain.
“-3475”
The chieftain, with just 20k health remaining, lost a sixth of it in a single blow.
That explosive damage pleased Zi Liyuan immensely, to the shock of the nine old men spying from outside the dungeon.
“What spell is that? Does a Necromancer have such a powerful single-target spell?”
“There are millions of skills, but among the lower-tier abilities, there are none with such high magic damage for a single target. I’m afraid it’s a mutated skill, with magic damage around 3400,”
“This kid’s magic damage is nearly 200; the strongest single-target skill for a Necromancer is the Bone Spear, and even at level 6, it only does 600 + 130% magic damage. This mutated ability will be terrifying in the late stages!”
They had seen alot of high-damage skills, but it was very rare to see such potent single-target abilities at just the first tier, usually only heroes of higher quality could achieve such high damage.
But such skills were extremely precious and couldn’t possibly be given to a newbie who had just awakened to a professional role.
“Is this kid really just a commoner? Could he be the illegitimate son of some major family?”
“Pff, I bet he’s the direct descendant of some big shot from the Upper Realm or the Sea of Realms. How else could they afford such an investment?”
