50: Chapter Fifty: Men Don't Easily Shed Tears

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Ye Weiyang paused slightly.

The two locked eyes, both seeing a trace of determination in the other's gaze.

"Good! I trust you!"

"Thirty seconds. I'll hold out for another thirty seconds!"

"If you die… I won't go on living either."

Ye Weiyang roared, and without hesitation, he plunged his blade toward the Red Moon Demon's incredibly ugly face once more.

One second… Fifteen seconds… Thirty seconds…

Ye Weiyang's HP had dropped to 15%, and his mission was completed at this very moment.

"Time's up! Retreat!" Lin Feng shouted.

Ye Weiyang did not hesitate in the slightest, pulling back sharply and instantly disengaging from the combat range.

The next moment, the Red Moon Demon's aggro locked onto Lin Feng without a shadow of a doubt.

The BOSS's angry roar shook the entire third level of the cavern, and ground spikes erupted instantly!

In this environment, just as Ye Weiyang had said, no player at this stage could withstand it for three seconds.

But… there was always an exception.

After observing the BOSS's attack frequency for a long time, he had fully grasped the Red Moon Demon's attack rhythm.

As long as he paid close attention and dodged before the spikes broke through the ground, he could avoid being hit!

It sounded easy, but for all players at this stage, it was nearly impossible to accomplish.

Reaction time, anticipation, movement speed, and mentality—none could be lacking.

Feeling the ground beneath his feet vibrate slightly, Lin Feng instead curled his lips into a faint smile.

"The final battle only begins now…"

Before the words had even faded, ground spikes erupted violently from the earth! It seemed as though they would pierce his body the very next instant.

But for the high-movement-speed Lin Feng, dodging these attacks was a reaction etched into his very bones; the difficulty level was a mere one star.

As an Assassin, if he couldn't even dodge the most basic melee attacks, he might as well delete his account.

Just as he had said himself, this BOSS was his nemesis, but conversely, wasn't he also its nemesis, being unable to move as it was?

Time and again, the spikes erupted, and time and again, they were avoided by Lin Feng's maneuvers.

"Poisoning"

"Shuriken"

"Stealth"

"Ten-Step Kill"

High-damage bursts erupted one after another, and the BOSS's HP dropped further.

Through his constant offense and defense, after five minutes, the Red Moon Demon's remaining twenty percent HP bar had been ground down to a mere five percent!

His focus was at its peak, and he seemed to have merged with the surrounding environment.

Meanwhile, Ye Weiyang, in the corner by the entrance, was completely stunned.

He could hardly believe his eyes at this explosive scene.

With his experience, he had never seen such an extreme playstyle: "Soloing a BOSS whose attributes are several, or even dozens of times higher than one's own."

"Is he even human?"

Ye Weiyang gave a bitter smile, his heart filled only with admiration and joy.

The smartest decision he had ever made in his life was becoming friends with Lin Feng instead of enemies…

In the center of the battlefield, the Red Moon Demon's HP had been whittled down to a sliver, about 2%.

Seeing the BOSS was about to be taken down, Lin Feng felt even more nervous.

Based on his past experience killing BOSSes, it was often at this most critical moment that he felt an inexplicable fear.

He prayed silently, screaming in his heart: Don't transform… don't you dare f*cking transform again…

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

The low-HP Red Moon Demon suddenly stopped attacking, thick demonic energy erupting from its body, its ugly frame trembling violently.

Amidst its eerie cries, the ground cracked open a massive fissure, and countless roars echoed from deep underground, as if the abyss itself had descended.

[Ding! Red Moon Demon's HP is below 5%, triggering passive skill—Descent of Ten Thousand Demons!]

"??"

Lin Feng: "Damn it… I knew it would be like this."

"Screw you!"

As the system prompt sounded, massive figures surged from the fissure.

Within a few seconds, twenty Two-Headed Vajras appeared in a line before him.

They were all hideous, scanning their surroundings vigilantly.

However, there was no one left within their aggro range.

The moment the BOSS released its ultimate skill, Lin Feng had activated Stealth without hesitation.

The good news was that the Red Moon Demon did not continue to attack after using its ultimate, so it was temporarily safe.

The bad news was: "In 7 seconds, Stealth will fade, and he will be instantly flattened into meat paste by the surrounding Two-Headed brothers."

If he took advantage of the remaining Stealth time to retreat immediately, he would have to give up the Silver BOSS First Kill that was within his grasp, along with a massive haul of top-tier equipment.

To take down this BOSS again in the future would likely take a very long time.

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma—fleeing wasn't the answer… and staying wasn't either…

At this critical, life-or-death moment, at the cavern entrance, Ye Weiyang, who had been watching the whole time, suddenly took a few steps forward, as if he had made a certain resolve.

The vow of living and dying together still rang in his ears; how could he stand idly by when his brother was in danger?

If one of them had to die, that person could only be…

He didn't hesitate in the slightest, suddenly activating his exclusive talent… Full-screen Taunt!

In an instant, an invisible force of taunting swept across the entire Red Moon Demon Nest.

The originally restless Two-Headed brothers suddenly turned, charging rapidly toward Ye Weiyang.

"Brother Feng, go kill the BOSS, leave this to me!"

After roaring, Ye Weiyang ran off to the side.

He knew very well that at this critical moment, every second he could hold out gave Lin Feng a better chance to slay the BOSS.

Lin Feng, hidden in the shadows, felt his heart jolt upon witnessing this scene, tears seemingly welling up in his eyes.

A man does not shed tears easily; it is only because he has not yet reached the point of heartbreak.

Lin Feng could no longer bear to look at him.

When Ye Weiyang chose not to retreat from the third level, his fate had already been sealed.

The only thing he could do was kill the BOSS in the shortest possible time; he could not let his good brother sacrifice himself in vain.

Looking at the BOSS before him, which had lost its combat effectiveness, Lin Feng was filled with killing intent.

He plunged his dagger into the Red Moon Demon's body, strike after strike.

With continuous damage raining down, the already low-HP BOSS was on the verge of death.

"This farce ends now." Lin Feng muttered to himself, and the next moment, he charged straight at the Red Moon Demon!

[Ding: Ten-Step Kill - Paralyze effect triggered! Due to level suppression, the effect lasts for 1 second!]

That one second! That was its end.

"Puchi"

"- 612"

"- 886" (Critical Hit)

Finally… With a desolate wail, the Red Moon Demon's last bit of HP was depleted, its massive, twisted body collapsing with a boom, accompanied by several pieces of equipment and a huge pile of gold coins falling down!

The moment the BOSS died, a system notification rang out across the server.

"Ding~!"
