Firelight illuminated the earth as a massive fireball erupted in the air.
An earsplitting cry echoed through the air.
Yet the Skeletal Berserk Warriors ignored it all, relentlessly slaughtering the serpent monsters.
Empowered by Enhance Troops, coupled with Deterioration Curse, the level 70-plus ordinary monsters seed fragile.
They weren't bosses, and their health was far lower. Their attributes couldn't compare—they dropped like flies under the Skeletal Berserk Warriors’ axes.
Lin Moyu paid no attention to the Venomous Flood Dragon, now engulfed in flas above. Instead, he dove toward the ground.
A thunderous boom resounded.
The serpent monsters were densely packed, and a single Corpse Explosion resulted in countless casualties.
Next, nurous corpses were hurled skyward, aid at the Venomous Flood Dragon.
Lin Moyu detonated them midair.
A chain of explosions engulfed the Venomous Flood Dragon.
He knew exactly how powerful a level 85 world rank boss was.
Even after being battered by the concentrated assault of the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, having the Fire Lich detonate inside it, and enduring relentless bombardnt from the Skeletal Great Mages and Skeletal Marksn, Lin Moyu still believed it wasn’t enough to kill it.
Corpse Explosion would seal its fate.
At level 7, the skill dealt damage equal to 24 tis the health of the corpse.
Boosted by Enhance Troops’ 500% damage multiplier and the damage effect of the Deterioration Curse, its final damage exceeded 100 tis the corpse's health—an unprecedented level of destruction.
Amid the roaring blasts, the firelight was torn apart.
Lin Moyu finally saw the Venomous Flood Dragon’s ruined form.
Its body was charred black—inside and out.
The Fire Lich’s explosion had detonated from within, causing catastrophic damage.
The poisonous mist surrounding the boss had been completely blasted away, stripping it of a layer of defense.
The Venomous Flood Dragon let out a wretched cry and turned to flee.
Lin Moyu didn’t intend to let it escape. The mont it moved, Soul Blaze descended.
This ti, the Venomous Flood Dragon finally felt true pain—agony that tore through its soul, ten tis worse than before.
It shrieked, plumting from the sky and crashing hard into the ground.
Without pause, the Skeletal Berserk Warriors swooped in, hurling serpent monster corpses at the boss.
Simultaneously, Lin Moyu command the Skeletal Berserk Warriors inside the Venomous Flood Dragon to attack it.
Earlier, more than 2,000 Skeletal Berserk Warriors had been swallowed whole.
Normally, they would’ve perished under its skill—its venom was potent enough to lt the skeletons.
However, the Fire Lich's detonation had interrupted its skill and incinerated the venom.
The blast was indiscriminate, powerful enough to kill enemies and allies alike. The Skeletal Berserk Warriors inside the boss were on the brink of annihilation.
And then, the Undying Lich's Undying Rings activated.
[Undying Ring: when undead troops take a fatal blow, they will not die, and the ring of light will restore their health to 50%. Cooldown: 24 hours]
As the explosion surged, the rings of light flared to life, pulling the skeletons back from the jaws of death.
Now, within the Venomous Flood Dragon's body, there were over 2,000 Skeletal Berserk Warriors, boosted by Enhance Troops.
This was one of the reasons Lin Moyu believed he could kill the Venomous Flood Dragon
The mont the Skeletal Berserk Warriors attacked, unleashing devastating damage.
The Venomous Flood Dragon writhed on the ground, unable to take flight or strike back.
Lin Moyu’s expression remained solemn as he relentlessly detonated corpse after corpse.
A chain of violent explosions rocked the battlefield.
Dual-casting with both hands, he detonated 100 serpent monster corpses within 20 seconds.
The Venomous Flood Dragon was blown completely out of shape.
As death approached, it cast one final glance at Lin Moyu.
It had never imagined its end would co at the hands of such a "small fry."
With a final, pitiful whimper, its eyes closed.
[Killed Venomous Flood Dragon, EXP **]
[Obtained Venomous Flood Dragon's Short Sword]
[Obtained Venomous Flood Dragon's Heavy Armor]
[Obtained Poison Crystal Stone]
[Obtained Poison Greater Gem]
[Venomous Flood Dragon's Short Sword: quasi-legendary-grade weapon, all attributes 80,000, increases the power of Assassin-type skills by 150%. Attached skill: Deadly Venom.]
[Deadly Venom: infuses attacks with the poison elent, poisoning the target and dealing damage equivalent to 10,000 points of strength per second. Duration: 10 seconds. The damage and duration can be stacked infinitely.]
[Venomous Flood Dragon's Heavy Armor: quasi-legendary-grade protective equipnt, all attributes 50,000, all damage reduced by 20%, poison elental resistance increases by 50%.]
[Poison Crystal Stone: legendary-grade material, filled with the poison elent, can be used to forge legendary-grade equipnt.]
[Poison Greater Gem: permanently raises poison elental immunity to 80% and grants a chance to awaken a poison elental skill.]
Quasi-legendary-grade equipnt stood between platinum- and legendary-grades.
For most class users above level 70, it was the standard.
After the third class awakening, platinum-grade equipnt simply couldn’t keep up—unless paired with top-tier skills, it beca obsolete.
At this stage, switching to quasi-legendary-grade equipnt had beco essential.
True legendary-grade gear, however, was a different matter entirely—far too rare and difficult to acquire.
Such items were only dropped by world rank bosses above level 90, and even then, it was only with a possibility, not a done deal.
Among the human race, very few individuals possessed a piece.
That made the quasi-legendary Venomous Flood Dragon’s Short Sword, dropped by a level 85 world ranked boss, already boasted impressive attributes.
On top of that, it ca with the Deadly Venom skill, making it even more formidable.
On paper, damage equivalent to 10,000 points of strength per second for 10 seconds didn’t seem that impressive. But its true value lay in a single line—it could stack infinitely.
That made it monstrous.
With an Assassin’s high attack speed, unleashing dozens of strikes per second was effortless—delivering devastating damage in an instant.
In contrast, the Venomous Flood Dragon’s Heavy Armor was underwhelming.
Though its base attributes were solid, it lacked an attached skill—sothing vital at this tier.
In fact, it was arguably worse than so platinum-grade gear that did co with skills.
The Poison Crystal Stone a legendary-grade crafting material, one tier above the Poison Crystals.
With it, Alchemists and Blacksmiths at level 80 or higher could forge legendary-grade equipnt.
But the crafting success rate was rather low.
Moreover, Alchemists and Blacksmiths of that level were incredibly rare within the human race, contributing to the scarcity of legendary-grade items.
For Lin Moyu, the Poison Crystal Stone was ideal for using on Summon Elental Lich.
However, he couldn't use it—for now—until he reached level 70.
His summon slots were full, and summoning an Elental Lich now would almost certainly lead to self-destruction.
The final reward was the Poison Greater Gem.
Compared to the Poison Gem, it offered 80% poison elental immunity and granted a chance to awaken a poison-type skill.
Even if a skill couldn’t be awakened, the 80% poison elental immunity alone made it an imnsely valuable asset.
But now wasn’t the ti to use it.
The battle wasn’t over yet.
After the Venomous Flood Dragon fell, over 2,000 Skeletal Berserk Warriors burst out from within its massive corpse.
A Fire Lich erged alongside them.
Unlike the Skeletal Berserk Warriors, the Fire Lich hadn’t been poisoned—the venom was incinerated before it could co close.
After the Venomous Flood Dragon fell, the serpent monsters didn’t retreat—instead, they grew even more frenzied.
Seemingly overcoming their fear of the poisonous fus, they ignored the Skeletal Berserk Warriors and charged forward in a frenzy.
At first, Lin Moyu assud they sought revenge.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that wasn’t the case—the serpent monsters’ eyes glowed with excitent
Their eyes burned brighter than even when they'd seen the Poison Crystals earlier.
Then it clicked.
They wanted to consu the corpse of the Venomous Flood Dragon.
Although it was dead, the Venomous Flood Dragon still contained imnse energy.
Consuming it could potentially allow the serpent monsters to evolve, perhaps even giving rise to a new Venomous Flood Dragon.
At level 70 and above, monsters began developing basic intelligence and instinct.
They could sense opportunity—knew what benefitted them.
At the sa ti, Lin Moyu realized sothing else: these serpent monsters were never afraid of the poisonous fus.
They could evolve by consuming Poison Crystals—so why would they fear poisonous fus?
The answer was simple.
It must have been the Venomous Flood Dragon that had ordered them to stay away from the poisonous pool.
Now that it was dead, its command was no longer valid.
"The corpse is mine, not yours."
To Lin Moyu, the Venomous Flood Dragon’s corpse belonged to him—not the serpent monsters.
The skeletons swiftly shifted targets, launching a massacre against the serpents.
The ground was already littered with corpses from the previous wave, so there wasn’t really any need for the skeletons to act further.
Lin Moyu simply tapped the air repeatedly, and a series of explosions tore through the battlefield.
[Killed level 72 Five-Step Viper, EXP 4,320,000]
[Killed level 75 Green Noxious Serpent, EXP 4,500,000]
[Killed level 78 Blue-Eyed Green Snake, EXP 4,680,000]
In an instant, his EXP bar surged.
And there were still countless serpent monsters left.
