209: Boss Battle (Part 3)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the frontline warriors and tanks held off the Skeleton Lord, the ranged Awakeners in the back had their skills ready.

In an instant.

Exploding fireballs, magic missiles, multi-arrows…

Waves of attacks rained down on the Skeleton Lord like a downpour.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The aftermath of the explosions was like a raging tide, causing the warriors and tanks on the front lines to involuntarily retreat a few steps, their bodies half-bent to resist the impact.

Across from them, the Skeleton Lord, having taken these attacks head-on, looked even more miserable.

Cracks appeared on its hard skeleton, and the ghostly warhorse beneath it no longer looked as magnificent as before.

"As expected of a team composed of Rank 4 Awakeners, this wave of attacks is incredibly powerful!"

Seeing the Skeleton Lord's wretched state, Wang Chen, who was observing from behind a tank’s shield, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

He had already experienced the formidable combat power of Awakeners forming a team when he was in the Tower of Babel.

But at that time, it was just him, Ice Purity, and Susu dealing with it; there was no reference point, and he only knew it was very strong.

Now, with the Skeleton Lord as a reference, he deeply understood the power of a group.

If he had been the target of this concentrated attack, he would probably be critically wounded and on the verge of death.

"Almost there!"

"No matter how strong the Skeleton Lord is, it's only a level 100 boss. It can't last much longer in front of so many Rank 4 Awakeners."

"One more round of concentrated fire, and it's probably going to kick the bucket!"

Wang Chen mused silently, giving Ice Purity the command to be ready to strike through their contract, while also quietly looking for an opportunity.

At the same time.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

After a round of bombardment, the Skeleton Lord roared madly, the emerald green flames in its empty eye sockets burning even more fiercely.

"Damn… humans, I will… tear you to pieces!!"

The Skeleton Lord’s upper and lower jaws opened and closed, its hoarse voice resounding throughout the area.

No sooner had its voice fallen than a fierce gale suddenly swept through the entire area, and everyone felt a sense of danger in their hearts.

"Everyone, be careful!"

"The Boss is about to unleash its ultimate skill!"

"Frontline, block it! Mages and archers, attack quickly to interrupt its skill!"

The Adventurer Group commander shouted loudly, calling all frontline Awakeners to step forward again.

At the same time, the ranged Awakeners in the back also waved their staffs or drew their bowstrings, launching attacks at the Skeleton Lord.

And just then.

The Skeleton Lord’s ultimate skill was ready.

Soul Impact!!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!"

The Skeleton Lord’s upper and lower jaws opened and closed, and an invisible sound wave instantly enveloped the entire field.

The next moment.

This sound wave surged violently, creating layers of white Qi waves in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

A huge impact wave surged towards the Adventurer Group members, its terrifying Aura like an avalanche.

"Ah!"

"Pfft!"

"Hiss!"

The frontline warrior Awakeners and tank Awakeners, who bore the brunt of the attack, had their formation instantly disrupted, and many turned pale, spitting out blood.

Thump! Thump! Thump!!

At the same time, the Skeleton Lord, having torn apart the frontline formation with its skill, spurred its ghostly warhorse and launched a Charge with its lance held level.

Thump! Thump! Thump!!

Amidst the thunderous hoofbeats, the Skeleton Lord instantly reached the front line, sweeping out its lance.

"Frontline, hold it!"

"Brothers, don't let him break into the team!"

Seeing this, the Adventurer Group commander remained calm in the face of danger, calling on the frontline Awakeners to withstand the damage while telling the mages and archers in the back to suppress the Skeleton Lord and simultaneously cast buffing skills on their teammates.

"Ah!"

Although everyone reacted quickly, the Skeleton Lord came even faster.

Two tank Awakeners, who were directly in the path, were sent flying, shield and all, by the sweeping lance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, at this moment, the ranged attacks from the rear also landed on the Skeleton Lord.

Crackle! Pop!

Lightning flashed, and fire soared to the sky.

The Skeleton Lord was forced to stop again, and the cracks on its pitch-black bones grew larger, with some shattered bone fragments even falling to the ground.

"Quick!"

"Stabilize the formation!"

"The Skeleton Lord is at the end of its rope!"

"One more round of concentrated fire, and our objective will be complete!"

Seeing this, the Adventurer Group commander was overjoyed and quickly shouted loudly to boost morale.

However, just then.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!

In the Skeleton Lord’s empty eye sockets, the emerald green Soul flames suddenly surged, instantly turning its huge head a ghostly green.

Immediately after, a chilling Aura gathered around the Skeleton Lord, and in the blink of an eye, a giant scythe formed above it.

The scythe was ten meters long, exuding a chill that seemed capable of freezing one's Soul.

Death God Scythe!!

"Holy crap!"

"The Skeleton Lord is about to unleash a skill! Frontline, stabilize your formation and retreat! This is the boss's last dying struggle!!"

"As long as we endure this wave, we win!"

Feeling the heart-pounding chill from the giant scythe, the entire Adventurer Group instantly fell into disarray.

Especially the frontline warriors and tanks, upon hearing the commander's words, they inwardly cursed.

The power of this giant scythe was more than twice as strong as the Aura of the Skeleton Lord's Charge just now.

How were they supposed to tank it?

They would have to tank it with their lives!

But even though they were inwardly complaining, the long-standing camaraderie prevented the frontline tanks and warrior Awakeners from falling into disarray.

As for Wang Chen.

Upon feeling the terrifying Aura of the Death God Scythe, he directly hid behind a tank holding a giant shield.

Boom! Boom!!

The massive, solidified Death God Scythe descended, creating visible Qi waves in the air.

The frontline Awakeners all used their skills or raised their defensive equipment to block the Death God Scythe’s attack.

But the power of the Death God Scythe was incredibly formidable; the frontline Awakeners were like mantises trying to stop a chariot, directly sent flying backward.

In just a blink of an eye, the mages, archers, and other ranged Awakeners at the back of the Adventurer Group were exposed in front of the Skeleton Lord.

Then.

The sweeping Death God Scythe stopped steadily in mid-air, then changed direction.

"Holy cow!!"

"This boss's skill has a second stage!"

"Mages, quickly put up your shields! Everyone else, scatter!"

Seeing this, the Adventurer Group commander, who had always been composed, couldn't help but speak with urgency.

However, just at this moment.

"Yah!"

A low shout suddenly rang out, followed by the ground exploding with dirt, and a figure violently charged towards the Skeleton Lord.

It was Wang Chen!

"Boxer brother is loyal!"

"If you repel the Skeleton Lord, I'll give you a great merit when I get back!"

"Your mission reward this time will be doubled!"

Seeing this, the commander was overjoyed.
