The Ice Soul Tyrant, upon discovering Jiang Chen had stealthily activated Stage 2, refused to be outdone.
It likewise drew the Sword of Frost and prematurely initiated Stage 2.
Comparing the Stage 2 of both bosses, the Ice Soul Tyrant was a complete victor!
After all, in the state of Mecha Soul Fusion, the primeval mecha could only inherit fifty percent of the physical body’s Life Force Energy.
The strength attribute was only one thousand eight hundred points.
Nearly one thousand points lower than that of the Ice Soul Tyrant!
Such immense strength allowed every strike from the Ice Soul Tyrant to inflict crushing damage on the primeval mecha.
The sheer pressure of the windstorm created by its sword swings was enough to stifle the primeval mecha.
Luckily, the primeval mecha in Stage 2 possessed an Armor Value of over two thousand two hundred points.
Coupled with high amounts of armor, it was able to avoid being instantly killed.
Then, through high recovery, Blood Demon Transformation, and the counter-damage life-drain from [Thorns Overgrowth], it rapidly repaired its own injuries, achieving lightning-fast healing.
It barely managed to hold its ground in front of the Ice Soul Tyrant.
And even found opportunities to land a couple of strikes on the Ice Soul Tyrant—
Although the attributes of the primeval mecha itself were insufficient to break through the Ice Soul Tyrant’s defense,
the twelve-fold Super Energy Flames provided by the physical body were able to successfully inflict damage on the Ice Soul Tyrant!
And that was not all.
When the army of specters swarmed in, aiming to assist the Ice Soul Tyrant in damaging the primeval mecha,
the primeval mecha, with the power of Super Energy Flames, not only ignored their attacks but also swiftly incinerated them.
Even treating them as “blood bags.”
Using the special effect of [Thorns Overgrowth], it continuously drew their Life Force to replenish its own Armor Value.
Even if the 1st Rank Thorns Overgrowth could only restore a maximum of five points of Armor Value per life drain,
as long as it was triggered enough times, the total would be significant.
With this set of moves from Jiang Chen,
he effectively turned the retaliation module into a healing module.
It even sickened the Ice Soul Tyrant.
Despite appearing incredibly weak and fragile, a single sword strike sent the machine flying and cracking…
Yet, after a roll around the army of the dead, the damage would be healed anew.
How could it not be killed?
When the Ice Soul Tyrant saw the primeval mecha repairing its surface damage again through methods like life-drain,
It finally raised its ice sword in fury.
It did not immediately strike, instead, it began to gather power.
At that moment, it seemed to be at the eye of the storm, with gales swirling around, stirring endless wind and snow, encircling the blade.
Ice crystals continuously gathered, solidifying around the sword’s exterior.
The Sword of Frost kept growing in size, and within a mere ten seconds, it had turned into a glacier sword over a hundred yards long!
“Embrace death, insect!”
Jiang Chen immediately noticed that the Ice Soul Tyrant was preparing a powerful attack.
However, the restraining ability of the Undying Legion was a bit too strong.
Countless specters rushed in from all directions, ignoring the transcendent fire, and forcibly anchored him in place.
Whether he wanted to flee or to stop the Ice Soul Tyrant, his movements were incredibly slow.
He could only watch as the giant glacier sword, carrying the force of collapsing mountains, fiercely came slashing down!
As a powerful move of the Ice Soul Tyrant,
the mere spread of the sword pressure kept Jiang Chen immobilized, with the specters’ bones around him shattering to pieces.
Death was within an inch.
It was at this moment,
Jiang Chen heard Zero’s voice in the depths of his heart.
[That’s enough, sir. Zero is very satisfied to have battled alongside you up to this point.]
[Let’s fight together again next time.]
[Now…]
[Please use Scorching Fists on It.]
The glacier sword thunderously landed, striking the violet-white mecha!
Almost instantly, the ice below couldn’t withstand the force and cracked, the fissures spreading in a circular pattern, shattering into countless fragments!
The armor layer of the violet-white mecha also cracked and broke apart!
However—
As the Roots Core armor shattered,
a right arm enveloped in black emerged, raising upwards.
It was firmly supporting the mountainous blade!
Even under such an onslaught, the bodysuit was torn, but the skin beneath the mecha and clothing was completely unscathed.
[Talent Triggered: Undying Barehand.]
[Mecha absorbed: primeval mecha: Zero-Type 3.]
[Attributes:]
[Strength 3311→3851]
[Agility 2410→2800]
[Defense 4039→4699]
[Enigmatism 1800→2100]
[Special: Recovers 41.17 Life Force per second (doubles under the sun), 10.79 Stamina.]
[0th Rank Abilities: Uncontrollable Mutation, Roots Core, Blood Demon Transformation*2, Seed of Flames*7.]
[1st Rank Abilities: Blood Demon Transformation*21, Bio-organic Force Field*3, Thorns Overgrowth*21, Crystal of Divine Punishment*3, Flame Control*15.]
The Ice Soul Tyrant exerted force to swing the sword downward, but it seemed as if it struck against a fixed point in space, unable to budge even a bit further.
Whereas Jiang Chen straightened up, supporting the sword’s blade with one hand, as if he were lifting a mere piece of paper.
With a roaring flame, fire ignited over his fists.
Jiang Chen shifted his stance, exerting force from his feet.
Accompanied by spreading shock waves.
In an instant, he had crossed a distance of a hundred meters and arrived in front of the Ice Soul Tyrant.
“I’m starting Stage 3 now,”
“What about you?”
Before his words fell, a fist wrapped in roaring flames struck the helmet of the Ice Soul Tyrant.
The faceplate caved in, the body tilted and toppled over.
Accompanied by a loud explosion, shockwaves spread out.
The Ice Soul Tyrant was actually smashed directly into the depths of the glacier by this punch!
When the Ice Soul Tyrant’s heavy armor was shattered by Jiang Chen and the Sword of Frost was seized,
The extremely cold spirit body inside, capable of freezing souls, was exposed.
Finally, Stage 3 was also initiated—
The Weakened Stage.
Strength, agility, defense, all three attributes dropped by a thousand points, greatly diminishing its capabilities.
The only remaining extreme cold magic power was also restrained by Flame Control, wailing in flames before dissipating into nothingness.
“Ahh! Death is calling…”
A surge of abyss atmosphere flowed into the Abyss Rune.
[Defeated the Ice Soul Tyrant, excellent module obtained: Permafrost Ice Soul.]
[Successfully defeated the boss, exploration objective achieved.]
[Total Time: 26 minutes and 17 seconds.]
[Mission Rating: SSS.]
[Based on the trial rating, your rewards are being calculated…]
[You have obtained Abyss Coins: 10000.]
[You have obtained flawless material: Ice-sealing Eye*4.]
[You have obtained an excellent item: frost bone dragon saddle.]
[You have obtained an excellent module: Touch of Extreme Cold (supercharged).]
[Settlement complete, do you wish to leave the abyss now?]
[Note: Refusing to leave allows an additional sixty minutes stay.]
Conquered Hell difficulty level!
Jiang Chen looked up at the dispersing icy clouds in the sky and sighed in relief.
After grinding for a day and a night, he had finally achieved his goal.
When he saw the settlement rewards, his eyes widened in surprise.
“A supercharge module!”
“The settlement rewards actually gave me a supercharge module directly!”
Jiang Chen didn’t hold much hope for obtaining a supercharge module from Hell difficulty level.
According to alliance forum posts, supercharge modules were exceedingly rare drops at Hell difficulty level.
There had only been three occurrences in the last twenty years!
Even though the bosses at Hell difficulty are strong, with three genius mecha pilots and some targeted strategies, it is possible to clear it.
Especially for something like the Symbol of the Alliance, with the help of two supports, clearing it isn’t hard.
As long as it’s clearable, even if they work inefficiently and space it out, over the course of a decade or more, they’ll clear it many, many times.
Yet, in the span of Planet Blue Star, Hell difficulty had only yielded three supercharge modules.
Proof of its rarity.
Therefore, even if someone could solo the Hell difficulty, at best they would turn the “extremely, extremely, extremely rare” drop rate into a “very, very rare” rate.
You’d probably have to grind a thousand or more times to possibly get a supercharge module.
Because of this,
Jiang Chen didn’t think he could grind for supercharge modules in Hell difficulty.
Instead, he set his sights on Abyss difficulty—
After all, the higher the difficulty, the higher the chance of producing top-tier resources.
If he grinds Abyss difficulty ten or twenty times a day, he won’t have to worry about lacking supercharge modules.
Hell is just a transition, after all.
Who would have thought that Hell difficulty, which was just a transition, would actually yield a supercharge module!
“Is my luck that good, to hit the jackpot on the first try?”
“Or is there a burst rate bonus for the first solo clear of the Hell difficulty level?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t keep the corners of his mouth from rising wildly.
No one knows whether there’s such a thing as a “first clear” for abyss carbon copies.
But Jiang Chen hoped there was.
After all…
If there really is a burst rate bonus for the first solo clear of Hell, doesn’t it signify he snatched someone’s drop?
“Sorry, Simon, rarity holds sway.”
“Do me a favor and make some room; this noob plans to monopolize supercharge!”
Jiang Chen laughed as he touched the Abyss Rune.
The module information emerged before his eyes.
[Touch of Extreme Cold (supercharged)]
[Rank: 2nd]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Type: hand module, foot module.]
[Effect One: Enhances the mecha’s resistance to cold, reducing the damage taken from cold.]
[Effect Two: Can consume any mecha energy source to grant hand/foot parts an extreme cold effect, freezing and damaging any touched enemies. Power is related to energy and Enigmatism. (Single instance power limit: 2000)]
[Effect Three: When equipped on hand modules, additionally grants the ability to shape ice, freezing air and other materials, creating ice walls for defense.]
[Effect Four: When equipped on foot modules, grants the ability to create an icy path, freezing things underfoot, aiding in rapid movement across ice.]
[Effect Five: A supercharge module, can exhibit effects one rank higher when applied to low-ranked mecha.]
[Description: Cold… piercingly so!]
