359: Storm Lord

Chapter 359: Storm Lord

Soon, the ten-second countdown ended.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the massive altar in the middle of the mountains.

The moment the countdown finished,

The entire altar instantly erupted with a dazzling purple light, somewhat blinding.

After a brief moment of blindness, when they opened their eyes again, the World BOSS had already appeared.

That's right.

This process was neither complicated nor drawn out.

It just abruptly appeared before everyone, as if it had been suddenly thrown out.

And the instant they saw the World BOSS's appearance, everyone was stunned.

It was a giant elemental creature, thousands of meters tall!

Exaggeratedly huge!

Although there was no exact data, by visual estimation, it was at least three thousand meters tall!

What kind of concept was that?

Six li!

Currently,

All the professionals were still observing the World BOSS from around the mountains.

Because they were on the mountains, they could see the BOSS's entire body from all angles.

This oppressive feeling of facing a giant made everyone's breathing quicken.

Was this really a creature humans could fight against?

The giant's entire body was composed of violent lightning and hurricanes, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Between the flashes of lightning and hurricanes, its body would occasionally transform into a semi-transparent energy form, with blue-white electric light flickering within, clearly revealing the immense and terrifying energy contained within its torso!

On top of the giant's head, it wore a massive Storm Crown.

Formed by swirling hurricanes, it condensed into a semi-transparent crystal crown.

Two eyes, formed from lightning, gleamed with dazzling light.

Unfortunately, its face was somewhat blurry, but this sense of oppression was even more intense!

Its upper body, woven from storm and lightning, besides energy, also had incredibly developed muscles!

Far more exaggerated than the muscular physique of an Earth Knight like Lei Tai!

At its chest was a giant "Storm Core," continuously releasing energy pulses outwards.

Its lower body was entirely composed of whirlwinds, without a fixed form, suspended in the air.

Its pair of arms were incredibly thick.

Its left hand held a giant hammer forged from lightning.

Its right hand controlled a swirling mass of hurricane.

With every minute movement, every slight swing, it would trigger a chain reaction of lightning and storms.

Even,

Behind the giant,

There was also a pair of massive wings formed from lightning and clouds, which, when spread, blotted out the sky, and when flapped, would cause strong winds and lightning.

If this thing just looked intimidating, that would be one thing.

The environment around this thing, at a glance, also screamed 'no entry'!

Above the entire altar, around the giant,

A lightning storm domain constantly enveloped it, with dark clouds filling the sky and lightning continuously striking down.

On the ground, countless small whirlwinds formed, constantly tearing outwards.

Lu Ran also saw it at this moment, no, everyone saw the World BOSS's name at the same time: [Storm Lord · Zerax]!

"A Lord-level BOSS? Is this the first time one has appeared?"

"Oh my god, is this something we can defeat?"

"Holy crap, it's too exaggerated!"

"How do we get past this? We can't even get close."

"This should be the ceiling for elemental creatures, right?"

"What should we do? Fight or not?"

"How do we fight this? How do we approach?"

"If we don't, there won't be any rewards! We won't get anything!"

"Exactly, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a cub!"

"I believe the world rules wouldn't release something we can't defeat."

"Maybe it just looks intimidating, but the damage is actually mediocre?"

"Yeah, otherwise, why would they release the first World BOSS now?"

...

Amidst the discussions,

Lu Ran stared at the World BOSS, observing it carefully.

Indeed, there were no controllable options.

Naturally so, this thing was an elemental creature, not a dark-type creature, so Lu Ran couldn't directly control it.

Of course,

Lu Ran didn't plan to control it directly either.

He needed rewards!

He needed the rewards from this first World BOSS, and they would definitely be very generous!

If he controlled it directly, Lu Ran wouldn't be able to deal damage to the World BOSS.

He could only watch others kill it, and the final blow naturally wouldn't be his, no matter what.

"But this thing looks intimidating, and its power is probably good. I could keep it as a pet, but I don't know where I'd put it then," Lu Ran mumbled.

Too big!

Too flashy!

If he couldn't put it away, having it by his side wasn't practical either.

Wherever it passed, it would practically leave no blade of grass standing!

And at this moment,

Just as Lu Ran was thinking,

Suddenly,

The World BOSS began to stir.

Everyone was startled.

Upon closer inspection,

They realized that this world still had no shortage of reckless individuals.

Some had already begun to sneak attack, preparing to start dealing damage early!

After all, those who acted first would surely have a higher damage percentage and more generous rewards.

Looking closely,

From all directions, from various countries, there were indeed such characters.

They charged directly into the lightning storm area around the BOSS.

Subsequently,

"Haha... I guessed right, this thing's damage is very low!"

"This lightning storm area looks intimidating, but it actually doesn't do much damage."

"Bathing in lightning storms, no problem!"

"My level is low, I can't withstand this lightning storm, healer, heal!"

"Everyone, charge!"

...

Seeing the excitement below,

Immediately,

More people began to rush into the lightning storm area.

But some were intimidated by the scene and were still hesitating.

After all,

The BOSS's appearance was simply too terrifying!

Rewards were rewards, but given the almost impossible premise of getting the final blow reward, was a consolation prize, whose contents were still unknown, really worth the risk?

After all,

One wrong move and you could die!

And dying here was different from a battlefield map.

That was truly dying!

Of course, there were indeed many willing to take the risk.

Money makes the world go round!

"As expected, it seems the world rules have limited the damage of the lightning storm area, otherwise, this appearance couldn't have such little damage," Liu Xinxin analyzed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight.

The world data formulated new processes based on the abilities of the professionals in the great world; it was impossible to release a World BOSS that couldn't be defeated.

That would be meaningless.

"But the difficulty shouldn't be this low either," Liu Xinxin then said, puzzled.

Lu Ran looked at the World BOSS.

He said, "Then there's only one possibility. The lightning storm area is just to allow everyone to approach the BOSS. The highest mortality rate will still be from the BOSS itself. This BOSS's attacks and damage probably won't be low, everyone be careful."

As if to confirm Lu Ran's words,

Just a few seconds after Lu Ran spoke,

Boom!

The Storm Lord, sensing the approach of a large number of human professionals, erupted!
