Chapter 194: Getting Ganged Up On by Numerous Abyss Bosses_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
After pillaging another palace, the four, along with their army, prepared to move on to the next when, inevitably, an accident occurred.
Having slain two major bosses consecutively, they had inadvertently lured out the lords of the several other palaces in the region.
As the four emerged from the Abyssal Void Demon Palace, they were immediately ambushed by four big bosses, accompanied by a Demon Army at the gates.
Abyssal Destroyers, Abyssal Judges, Abyssal Ghost Mothers, Abyssal Serpent Demons—all matching, fourth-order Level 100 Lord Bosses—led a horde of hero bosses templated as Doomsday Guardians and a vast Demon Army, surrounding the palace in impenetrable ranks.
Infiltrating the upper echelons of the castle and brazenly attacking the Demon Bosses of the stronghold had, after all, stirred up a hornet’s nest.
Having witnessed mobs of bosses hunting in squads during the martial trials instance and survived various horrific monster surge instances, Zi Liyuan and his companions had seen their fair share of the world.
Today, facing merely four Lord Bosses, plus just under two hundred hero bosses, wasn’t really that big of a display.
But Wang Fatty, who had never been cornered by so many bosses before, was somewhat terrified.
Is this not frightening?
This was the Abyssal Rift, where these bosses were several times, if not dozens of times, more troublesome than those inside instances.
Although Wang Fatty was scared, he didn’t consider running off alone; instead, he stood firmly by Zi Liyuan’s side.
Ready for trouble, he planned to sacrifice his painstakingly trained pet bosses to cover their retreat, while he would flee with Brother Zi and the two sisters-in-law.
“I was thinking of dealing with them one by one, but now that they’ve all shown up at once, it saves me the trouble of hunting them down,” Zi Liyuan said.
Facing the encirclement of several Demon Armies, Zi Liyuan didn’t even blink an eye.
The only thing to watch out for was the attack from the four Lord Bosses on the four of them.
The strategy of capturing the ringleader first, especially when facing Necromancers capable of summoning Undead armies, would cross anyone’s mind—as long as they weren’t brainless—to eliminate them first.
That way, the Undead army would pose no threat, even likely collapsing in an instant.
“Number Two, can your suppression formation weaken these Level 100 Lord Bosses?” Zi Liyuan asked.
First thing, Zi Liyuan tore up a Space Seal Scroll, blocking off the space around them.
Such decisive action naturally had its benefits.
First, it prevented the four Lord Bosses from using space-shifting abilities to deliver high-damage surprise attacks.
God knows if they would be one-shotted by a powerful boss move—Zi Liyuan was not willing to gamble.
Second, it prevented the possibility of the four Lord Bosses fleeing using spatial abilities if they found themselves outmatched once the fight began.
As for their own chances of escape being hindered, Zi Liyuan had never even considered such a thing.
To him, these were just four mere Level 100 Lord Bosses; did they really think they were so powerful?
Of course, had the master of the Abyssal Castle appeared, Zi Liyuan would definitely have turned and run without a second thought—far and fast.
“If even Epic Bosses can be weakened and suppressed to some degree, why can’t mere Lords?” replied Number Two, eager for a challenge.
Ever since entering the Abyssal Rift, following behind Zi Liyuan was just like mopping up the battlefield—a walk in the park.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to unleash his power in a grand battle, he was certainly curious to see just how formidable a fourth-order Level 100 Lord Boss would be.
“Alright, try to weaken these four Lord Bosses as much as possible; the rest of you, just make sure to protect yourselves,” Zi Liyuan instructed.
With four Lord Bosses, who knew if those scoundrels would attempt a sneak attack on the three of them. Zi Liyuan feared being distracted and leaving an opening for an exploit.
“Don’t worry, Brother Zi, those Abyssal scum won’t get near the sisters-in-law unless they step over my dead body,” Wang Fatty promised, banging his chest. Simultaneously, he summoned his pet boss legion and firmly shielded the four in the center.
“I’ll leave the fourth-order Level 100 Lord Bosses to you; but those Doomsday Guardians, I can still take down a few,” Shen Yurou claimed with a sense of self-awareness. Despite her arsenal of powerful bombs, the gap in levels resulted in a crushing disparity in attributes.
Even with her most potent explosives, she might barely manage to break through the defenses of a fourth-order Lord Boss, inflicting single-digit damage at best.
Since she couldn’t deal effective damage to the Lord Boss, she decided to shift her priority to target the nearly two hundred Doomguards—killing a few more of them would still make a difference.
At the same time, Shen Yurou had made up her mind that after officially enrolling, she must upgrade the series of mechanical equipment she had created as soon as possible!
Especially the Robot Model 2, which is only suitable for grinding monsters between Level 20 and 60; against monsters above Level 60, it has basically no killing power.
At this moment, using all the mechanical creations on her, she might only be able to hold off a Fourth Order Lord Boss, and even then, in the most bedraggled sort of escape delaying possible.
“No worries, I’ll figure out a way to clear the field.”
Standing at the gates of the palace, Zi Liyuan directly controlled his Skeleton Warrior Legion to attack as if serving food, followed by the Zombie Legion blocking the door.
The Zombie Boss Legion retreated to form an inner circle, surrounding the four of them and Wang Fatty’s pet boss as a second line of defense.
But before he could adjust his formation, the Abyssal Demons were not about to give him time to set up.
Tens of thousands of the Demon Army swarmed in a mad rush.
They slashed through the Skeleton Warriors at the forefront as if chopping vegetables, and then collided head-on with the Zombies.
The battle was on the verge of erupting, and the four Lord Bosses, at the same time, launched various ranged attacks at Zi Liyuan.
The Destroyer’s Fear Beam, the Inquisitor’s Lethal Judgement, the Ghost Mother’s Dark Magic Flames, the Serpent’s Dark Poison—four different attacks hurtled down upon Zi Liyuan’s head.
It was indeed a decapitation strategy!
The Demon Spider, with its nimble movement, adjusted its spider legs, its massive body shielding the four behind it, blocking the path of the four incoming attacks.
Four hits registering over 200,000 damage each emerged in quick succession from atop the Demon Spider’s head.
The attacks dealt a total of over 900,000 damage to it, but for a creature with fifty million health, it was a mere tickle.
However, the bosses’ ranged assaults were not yet over, as the first round was merely an appetizer.
Watching the relentless barrage of ranged attacks, Zi Liyuan’s face grew darker and darker.
Damn it, did these bosses have no shame?
Even though they were primarily melee bosses, they refused to close in, instead opting to use various ranged attacks against him.
“MMP! So it’s only you guys that can do ranged damage, huh?”
Annoyed, Lord Zi launched a Bone Spear at what appeared to be the most delicate Abyssal Ghost Mother, following up with two consecutive casts of Death Shadow Arrows behind the Bone Spear.
The three strongest single-target abilities in Zi Liyuan’s arsenal were cast within 5 seconds, crashing down with tremendous force upon a Doomguard trying to intercept the spells.
The Level 19 abilities, capable of dealing tens of millions in damage, unfortunately did not realize their ideal tens of millions of damage upon hitting the Doomguard; instead, they only inflicted several million points of damage.
Yet a single Doomguard, after being hit by three high-damage spells, died on the spot in front of the Abyssal Ghost Mother.
Instant kill!
This terrifying scene, which dumbfounded all the bosses present, also left Number Two and Wang Fatty stunned.
This was an instant kill of a Level 80 Hero Boss with nearly ten million health!
Three skills executed the kill—was it not preposterous?
The four Lord Bosses, now equally bewildered, looked at the Doomguard that had died so peacefully, glanced at each other, and then, as if by some tacit agreement, shrank back, letting the Doomguard stand in front of them.
Such a fearsome attack was not something they wanted to face; better to let the underlings take the hits.
However, Zi Liyuan’s act of instant killing the Hero Boss had once again enraged the four Lord Bosses. The lords no longer used single-target abilities against him but began to unleash large-scale AOE abilities instead.
Destructive Dark Light, Dark Energy Annihilation, Dark Energy Flames, Dark Energy Corruption…
One after another, AOE abilities were furiously hurled by the bosses, and in an instant, the Skeleton Warrior Legion was shattered into bone fragments.
The Zombie Army was also ignited by the Dark Energy Flames, slowly burning to cinders.
The balance on the battlefield was instantly broken by the four Lord Bosses.
