16: Chapter 16 BOSS: I was instantly killed by the opponent's pet before I even saw them?

[Ding, you have accepted a Ten-Star difficulty Second-Rank Breakthrough quest!]

[Ding, detected that you are an F-Rank Beast Tamer, you have 10 seconds to leave your last words!]

"..." Lu Chen rolled his eyes.

Quest rules! I really thank you for the reminder about last words!

After 10 seconds. [Ding, quest issued!] [Quest Name: Abyssal Trial] [Quest Difficulty: ★★★★★★★★★★] [Quest Content: This quest is divided into four stages]

[Stage One: Abyssal Test. You will be transmitted to a special rift space, where 3 layers of dynamic dungeons are randomly generated. Hint: Every time you enter, the monster combinations and trap layouts will change. Restriction: Absolute healing prohibition, Boss fights force the trigger of [Bleeding Aura], losing 1% of maximum HP every 3 minutes. Clearance Condition: Kill the 3-layer dungeon BOSS! Hidden NPC: If you clear the dungeon without taking any damage, you can trigger the hidden Abyssal Merchant, from whom you can purchase quest items like Elemental Resistance Runes, as well as Legendary items, etc. Maximum Score: 25 points]

[Stage Two: Abyssal Tempering. The dungeon will randomly refresh 4 types of Elemental Lord BOSS, and they will exist for 30 minutes; after 30 minutes, they will immediately refresh randomly somewhere else in the dungeon. Clearance Condition: Kill the 4 great Elemental Lord BOSS (Fire/Ice/Lightning/Poison)! Hint: Corresponding Elemental Resistance Runes (+70% Elemental Resistance) can greatly reduce the damage from Elemental Lord BOSS. Maximum Score: 25 points]

[Stage Three: Abyssal Challenge. You will be transmitted to the Abyssal Challenge Platform, where different challenges will be triggered based on your class. As a Beast Tamer, you must face the attack of a Domain Lord-level Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS! Clearance Condition: Kill the Domain Lord-level Abyssal Giant Wolf BOSS! Maximum Score: 25 points]

[Stage Four: Final Trial. Mirror Duel: The abyss will replicate a copy of you; the copy is an Abyssal-strengthened version of you! Hint: Before the Final Trial begins, 3 random BUFF combinations will be generated. You can choose one; the copy cannot possess this BUFF combination.] Clearance Condition: Kill the copy! Maximum Score: 25 points]

[Ding, after completing the four stages of the quest, the rules will provide a corresponding score based on your performance in each stage, with a maximum of 100 points!] [Hint: For Ten-Star difficulty Breakthrough quests, you cannot voluntarily give up or exit before completing the quest!]

After reading the quest introduction, Lu Chen was slightly surprised. Because ordinary Second-Rank quests are just simple, single-scene tasks, while this Ten-Star difficulty Second-Rank quest was surprisingly complex!

What surprised Lu Chen the most was that the task in the fourth stage was actually to fight against a copy of himself, and an Abyssal-strengthened version at that!

"It wouldn't be a World Lord BOSS that surpasses the Domain Lord-level, would it?"

This is the top-tier BOSS currently explored by the world's big shots, and its strength is incredibly powerful! With equal attributes, Epic-level class advancers can contend with Lord BOSS, and Legendary-level class advancers can contend with Domain Lord BOSS. But a World Lord BOSS! Without strength exceeding an SSS Legendary-level class, it is almost impossible to contend with it!

No wonder the Young Miss in charge of quest acceptance would say that the mortality rate for Ten-Star difficulty Breakthrough quests is over 99%! However, Lu Chen also noticed that this Ten-Star difficulty quest was not entirely impossible to clear. In the final stage, he could choose a buff combination; this should be a Breakthrough point!

As for the other 3 stages of the quest, Lu Chen didn't care at all; with his current strength, he should be able to easily crush them. Originally, Lu Chen intended to immediately equip a set of LV30 Legendary equipment, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until facing the final copy BOSS before equipping it to be safer!

Hum! The quest teleportation vortex appeared. Lu Chen was sucked into the teleportation.

The Young Miss at the counter glanced casually at the quest difficulty star rating Lu Chen had accepted. Oh my god! Ten-Star difficulty? Is he seeking death? Seeing the full ten stars, the Young Miss covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.

You have to know that Ten-Star difficulty Breakthrough quests cannot be voluntarily exited; this is the fundamental reason why the mortality rate is so high and why even Legendary big shots dare not challenge them lightly. He is doomed! The little guy from just now is definitely doomed! It is impossible for him to return alive!

"It's the first time I've seen someone come to a Breakthrough quest seeking death!" After being shocked, the Young Miss shook her head speechlessly.

At this moment. Lu Chen had already arrived at the first layer of the Abyssal dynamic dungeon! According to the quest hints, to clear the dungeon without taking damage, he had to kill the BOSS within 3 minutes of encountering it, otherwise the [Bleeding Aura] would make him bleed, thereby preventing him from triggering the hidden Abyssal Merchant.

Lu Chen summoned all his beast pets and began to survey this dynamic dungeon. The entire environment was gloomy, with only the green glowing crystals on the dungeon walls providing a faint light, making visibility very poor.

Moreover, there was a faint mist drifting in the Abyssal dungeon, further adding to the eeriness and making one feel as if they were in the underworld. Of course, there was a nauseating smell of decay here; Lu Chen felt better only after purchasing an odor-isolating item from the System mall.

Dried bloodstains were visible everywhere on the ground, along with the white bones of unknown creatures lying twisted in various parts of the dungeon. What surprised Lu Chen was that the dungeon walls were like solid fluid, as if they could change the entire dungeon layout at any moment.

He opened the map to check. The map of the first layer of the Abyssal dungeon was very large, no smaller than a One-Star Secret Realm. Click, click, click! Five dungeon Invading Monsters appeared.

They were 3-5 meters long, with exposed bones that were black-purple in color. Coral-like flesh crystals grew at their joints, their heads had degenerated, their chests had split open to form jagged "pseudo-mouthparts," and the ends of their tails forked into two tentacles covered in barbs!

[Name: Bone-Eater · Elite] [Rank: First-Rank LV30] [HP: 2940] [MP: 1140] [Attack: 1470] [Defense: 4410 Phys Def / 1710 Magic Def] [Special Status: Abyssal Power (Defense X5)] [Skills: Bone Regeneration, Corrosive Whip Strike]

Except for the lower magic defense, the other attributes were very balanced, it just had an extra Abyssal Power BUFF bonus, increasing defense by 5 times! Overall, the Invading Monsters in this Abyssal dungeon were much stronger in comprehensive strength than ordinary Invading Monsters. Of course, the Rank of Invading Monsters in such Breakthrough quests would not exceed that of the class advancer.

"Five elite monsters right from the start? The Ten-Star difficulty is really intense!" As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the Snow Cat killed the five Bone-Eater elite monsters in an instant with extreme speed! Immediately! Lu Chen gave the order to leave dozens of Ice Horn Ants to clear the path to prevent injuries from dungeon traps, and all other beast pets dispersed to kill all the Invading Monsters on the first layer; the experience was enough for them to level up quite a bit more.

Awoo! Screech! Crunch! The Snow Cat, Fire Sparrow, and Swift Black Tortoise were the happiest, each rushing in one direction to slaughter. Before long. In the deepest part of the first layer of the dungeon.

A Bone-Eater Commander-level BOSS, over ten meters tall, was gnawing on a giant bone. Hearing the commotion of battle in the dungeon, it gave a bloodthirsty smile. [Heh! How many years has it been? Finally, another fresh and sweet class advancer has arrived here. This time, I will stuff him in whole and slowly suck him dry!]

[Name: Bone-Eater · Commander BOSS] [Rank: First-Rank LV30] [HP: 7280] [MP: 3080] [Attack: 3640] [Defense: 10920 Phys Def / 4620 Magic Def] [Special Status: Abyssal Power (Defense X5)] [Skills: Bone Regeneration, Corrosive Giant Whip Strike]

Suddenly! A pitch-black tortoise appeared in front of it with extreme speed. The Swift Black Tortoise didn't even look at it, treating it as an ordinary Invading Monster, and opened its mouth to spit out a water bomb. Pfft! -7280. Crash! The Bone-Eater Commander BOSS was instantly shattered into pieces. Until it died! It was also dumbfounded. It hadn't even seen the opponent, yet it was one-shot by their beast pet? Who am I? Where am I?
