144: Chapter 140 The Mastermind!

In the center of the battlefield.

Lu Yuan stood on the shoulder of Little Skeleton, hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping calmly across the surroundings.

His clothes fluttered and snapped in the wind.

Little Skeleton swung its sword down, cleaving the last Monarch Tier BOSS attempting to flee into two.

[Heartsteel Stacks + 70381]

"Master."

Little Skeleton slowly raised its head and looked into the distance.

"Something... is coming."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, following Little Skeleton's gaze.

Then, he saw it.

The eastern sky had been dyed crimson by a blazing fire.

Two massive dragon heads emerged from the clouds, their four dragon eyes burning with tyrannical flames.

[Overlord Tier BOSS: Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon]

[Overlord Tier BOSS: Cart Titan Demon]

[Overlord Tier BOSS: Frost Giant Bear]

[Overlord Tier BOSS: Hell Phantom Cat]

Four Overlord Tier BOSSes.

Appearing simultaneously from four directions.

They surrounded Lu Yuan completely.

"Oh?"

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth lifted slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Four Overlord Tier BOSSes?"

"Interesting."

He gently patted Little Skeleton's skull.

"Little Skeleton, are you afraid?"

Little Skeleton shook its head.

It was cowardly, but that was only when facing stronger monsters capable of posing a lethal threat to it.

Now, these four Overlord Tier BOSSes clearly could no longer make Little Skeleton feel threatened.

Lu Yuan laughed.

"Good."

"Then let's fight!"

The four Overlord Tier BOSSes moved simultaneously.

The Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon opened its bloody maw, two streams of scorching dragon breath erupting and dyeing the sky crimson.

The Cart Titan Demon raised its mountain-like fist and slammed it heavily into the ground, a terrifying shockwave sweeping toward Lu Yuan.

The Frost Giant Bear roared at the sky, and countless ice spikes condensed from the void, pouring down like a rainstorm.

The figure of the Hell Phantom Cat vanished instantly, appearing behind Lu Yuan in the next second, its sharp claws aiming straight for his heart!

The four Overlord Tier BOSSes attacked at once!

Their coordination was flawless, without a single opening!

As if... they were four Magic Pets controlled by a Summoner!

"Master! Watch out!"

Little Skeleton roared, its eight-hundred-meter-tall body spinning abruptly as it swung its giant sword horizontally, shattering all the ice spikes.

At the same time, it used its massive body to forcibly block the dragon breath of the Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon and the shockwave of the Cart Titan Demon.

Boom!!!

A massive explosion rang out, and Little Skeleton's body was forced to retreat repeatedly by the impact.

Damage numbers floated above its head:

— 15000

— 12000

— 8000

"Master, they are very strong!"

"Much stronger than the Thunder Goblin from before!"

There was a sense of gravity in Little Skeleton's voice.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the four Overlord Tier BOSSes.

Then, he noticed it.

Their eyes were all shrouded by an inexplicable black mist.

There were no eyeballs, only two pitch-black vortexes.

"This is... mind control?!"

Lu Yuan's pupils constricted.

He suddenly looked up, staring into the deepest part of the battlefield.

At the end of the boundless ocean of monsters, a pillar of black light reaching into the heavens was vaguely visible.

A terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate emanated from that pillar of light.

"What kind of existence... could actually control four Overlord Tier BOSSes at the same time?!"

The four Overlord Tier BOSSes attacked again.

This time, their attacks were even fiercer.

The Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon was responsible for long-range suppression, the Cart Titan Demon for frontal assault, the Frost Giant Bear for crowd control, and the Hell Phantom Cat for assassination.

A perfect combination.

An unsolvable death trap!

Facing the siege of the four Overlord Tier BOSSes, Lu Yuan did not change his expression, calmly issuing commands.

"Little Skeleton, block them!"

"You three, output damage!"

The four great Magic Pets erupted simultaneously!

However, the pitch-black mist in the pupils of the four Overlord Tier BOSSes writhed violently.

Their attacks became even crazier, even more reckless.

As if they didn't care about their own lives at all.

They only wanted to completely annihilate Lu Yuan!

Lu Yuan stood on Little Skeleton's shoulder, his gaze cold.

"Controlled puppets, without self-awareness, without fear, without pain..."

"Opponents like this are the most troublesome."

He took a deep breath, slowly pulling his hands out of his pockets.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"But, the rewards for four Overlord Tier BOSSes will surely be rich."

Kyoto, somewhere in the shadows within the city walls.

Several figures draped in black robes hid in the corners like ghosts.

Their faces were obscured by hoods, revealing only a few pairs of eyes glowing with eerie light.

"Hehehe..."

The leading Black-robed Man let out a sinister laugh, his voice hoarse and grating.

"It has begun."

"Four Overlord Tier BOSSes attacking at the same time..."

"Even a Legendary Class professional will surely die."

Another Black-robed Man beside him also revealed a smug smile.

"Lu Yuan..."

"Aren't you very arrogant?"

"Today is the day you die!"

Cold laughter echoed in the shadows.

Like a funeral bell from hell.

In the center of the battlefield.

The four Overlord Tier BOSSes had already surrounded Lu Yuan completely.

The two heads of the Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon lowered simultaneously, four dragon eyes burning with black flames staring fixedly at Lu Yuan.

Then, it spoke.

Its voice was like thunder, shaking the very air:

"Lu Yuan..."

"The entire city of Kyoto, hundreds of millions of citizens, tens of millions of monsters..."

"Will all be buried with you."

"You should... feel proud."

"That is not its own consciousness!"

"Someone is controlling it to speak!"

Lu Yuan stood on Little Skeleton's shoulder, raising an eyebrow slightly.

His gaze fell upon that head of the Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon.

Deep within those dragon eyes burning with black flames, he saw a wisp of writhing, pitch-black mist.

A sickening, evil aura emanated from that mist.

"Demonic aura..."

The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth lifted slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"The Dark Church again?"

"A bunch of rats in the gutter..."

The Explosive Flame Two-Headed Dragon spoke again in a hoarse voice.

"The entire Kyoto, hundreds of millions of citizens, will all be buried with you!"

"This is the gift of the Demon God!"

"Hehehe..."

Lu Yuan laughed,

"Do you think..."

"You have me cornered?"
