First kill on the boss!
The intelligence of a King-level boss far surpassed that of ordinary monsters.
White Night knew that the upcoming battle would be full of danger.
The next second.
Shadow Commander・Loen suddenly transformed into a blurry black shadow, appearing before White Night almost instantly, having traversed dozens of meters!
Sharp claws, accompanied by a tearing sound that ripped through the air, aimed directly for his throat—it was precisely the skill Shadow Flash Strike!
This speed was several times faster than the previous Elite Demonic Wolf, almost impossible to react to!
But White Night was already prepared; Swift Shadow Step activated instantly, and his body shifted half a meter to the right like a phantom, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
The claw wind grazed his neck, and the airflow it generated stung his skin. A large tree behind him snapped in response, its cut as smooth as a mirror!
"Good reaction, but this is just the beginning!"
Shadow Commander・Loen sneered.
The next second.
Its offense became even more aggressive, its twin claws waving alternately. Each attack left afterimages, attempting to seal off all of White Night's evasion routes!
White Night neither dodged nor retreated, perfectly integrating Basic Combat Techniques with his blade skills.
The ink shadow long blade danced impenetrably in his hands, forming a black defensive barrier that blocked the continuous attacks.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
For a moment.
The sound of clashing metal was incessant, sparks continuously bloomed in the dust, and each collision made White Night's arm tingle slightly.
But with his formidable strength and physique, he forcefully withstood this impact.
"It's my turn!"
White Night roared, seizing a gap in the Shadow Commander's attack, suddenly ducking low, and sweeping his long blade horizontally across the ground!
Gale Slash stacked with Heavy Strike, three black blade shadows, accompanied by the sound of tearing wind, fiercely slashed towards the boss's abdomen!
Shadow Commander・Loen's pupils contracted, and it instinctively tried to retreat.
But the blade speed was too fast, and they were too close. With a 'puchi' sound, three huge gashes appeared on its abdomen!
Instantly, black internal organs mixed with blood gushed out.
"Awoo!"
The intense pain made the Shadow Commander let out a mournful howl. The red light in its eyes flared, and it suddenly opened its maw, spraying a dense cloud of black mist at White Night.
The black mist contained potent corrosive energy; wherever it passed, the ground was corroded into small pits!
White Night's eyes sharpened. Earth Wall activated instantly, and a three-meter-tall earthen-yellow stone wall rose out of thin air before him, completely blocking the black mist.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The black mist slammed into the stone wall, emitting a harsh corrosive sound. White smoke continuously rose from the stone wall's surface, and its thickness visibly diminished.
Taking advantage of this interval, White Night quickly retreated, creating distance.
At the same time, he activated the Berserker skill, boosting all his attributes by 200%. His muscles bulged, and a sense of power surged through his entire body!
"The farce is over!"
Seeing the black mist blocked, a hint of madness flashed in Shadow Commander・Loen's eyes.
It suddenly inhaled, and the phantoms around its body converged into a black energy pillar, shooting fiercely towards White Night!
"Phantom Cannon!"
This energy pillar was more than ten times more powerful than the previous Phantom Imprisonment; wherever it passed, the air slightly warped!
White Night chose not to meet it head-on. He instantly plunged his ink shadow long blade into the ground, formed hand seals, and his mana surged wildly. The Volcanic Heavy Strike skill activated!
The next moment.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly vibrated violently, and countless magma fissures appeared out of thin air, a scorching aura rushing forth!
Immediately after, a thick pillar of magma erupted from underground, colliding with the black energy pillar!
Boom!
With a deafening roar, magma and black mist exploded, forming a massive energy shockwave that sent all the surrounding trees flying and left a several-meter-deep crater in the ground!
Dust permeated the air once more, obscuring everyone's vision.
The professionals trapped by Phantom Imprisonment trembled continuously, staring nervously at the center of the dust, their hearts in their throats.
They couldn't tell who would win this earth-shattering collision.
They could only pray internally that the human professional who descended from the sky would win, so they would have a chance to live!
...The dust had not yet fully dispersed.
Shadow Commander・Loen's figure had already coalesced in the black mist.
It licked the blood from the corner of its mouth, the crimson and madness in its eyes growing even more intense.
"Human, your struggle ends here!"
The next moment.
It suddenly raised its hand, and more than a dozen black phantoms shot out from its palm, weaving into a net in the air and enveloping White Night—it was a Phantom Imprisonment!
These phantoms whistled sharply, partially devouring even light wherever they passed. This was clearly stronger than the skill that had previously trapped the group of professionals!
White Night's eyes were calm and unmoving. The Berserker effect was still active; while all his attributes surged, the characteristic of immunity to control below Lv5 coincidentally took effect.
He didn't retreat but advanced, charging directly into the net of phantoms. The golden light on his body clashed with the phantoms' black aura, emitting sizzling burning sounds, and the phantoms attempting to entangle him melted away like ice meeting fire!
"What?!"
Shadow Commander・Loen's face was filled with shock.
Seizing the moment the boss was dazed, White Night swept his long blade horizontally. Volcanic Heavy Strike activated again, and several pillars of fire suddenly erupted from the magma fissures in the ground, wrapping around the Shadow Commander's limbs like chains.
The scorching magma made it let out a painful roar, its black fur charred black!
"It's time to end this!"
White Night roared, his vitality surging like a vast river. He unhesitatingly activated the ultimate skill Demon Prison Blood Fiend Slash!
In an instant, 10,000 HP from White Night's body transformed into a crimson torrent of energy, surging along his arm into the ink shadow long blade.
The blade body, as if thrown into a furnace, suddenly burst forth with dazzling blood-red light. Within the light, countless distorted phantom souls could vaguely be seen roaring and struggling, emitting a terrifying, heart-pounding aura!
A dense scent of blood permeated the air, as if an invisible blood purgatory had descended, even dyeing the surrounding light a strange dark red.
"Tear—!"
The moment the blade light streaked across the sky, it emitted a harsh sound like fabric being torn. A blood-red blade aura, several meters long, shot out from the blade, carrying a world-destroying momentum, like a scythe of judgment from hell, slashing horizontally towards Shadow Commander・Loen.
Wherever this blade aura passed, space rippled subtly, the rocks on the ground were carved with deep furrows by an invisible force, and even the air violently burned, emitting scorching heatwaves!
The next moment.
The blade aura cut through the Shadow Commander's shoulder blade as if slicing butter, and black bone snapped in response with a crisp 'crack'!
Foul-smelling blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing onto White Night's soft armor, only to be automatically repelled by the Flowing Stream Soft Armor's water-elemental energy.
Shadow Commander・Loen's massive body staggered backward, its left arm completely numb. For the first time, fear appeared in its eyes, and it turned to activate Shadow Flash Strike to flee.
But would White Night give it a chance?
Swift Shadow Step left afterimages as he instantly caught up to the fleeing boss. The long blade in his hand was once again filled with blood-red light, another Demon Prison Blood Fiend Slash!
This strike aimed directly for its lower back, the blade sinking in nearly half a foot, drawing blood arrows that arced strangely in the air. 20,000 true damage took effect again, and the Shadow Commander's HP plummeted once more!
This time, it collapsed to the ground, its limbs twitching, and the black mist around it faded slightly, clearly caught off guard by the continuous true damage.
White Night slowly walked before it, the blood-red on his long blade not yet faded. He looked at this once arrogant King-level boss and raised his blade for the third time.
The next second.
The final Demon Prison Blood Fiend Slash descended, the blood-red blade aura cutting through its neck like rotten wood, precisely hitting its target, and true damage instantly erupted!
The Shadow Commander's head rolled to the ground, its crimson eyes holding only endless unwillingness in their final moments.
King-level boss, dead!
