123: Plunder the BOSS! Kill it with a higher level!
The iron chains stretched taut, groaning under the immense strain.
Lin Feng's figure, like a persistent shadow, plummeted rapidly along the chains, his golden vertical pupils burning with frenzied Battle Intent! A searing pain shot through the wound on his back, but this only ignited the ferocity deep within his Bloodline.
The Abyssal Butcher clearly hadn't expected this puny human to dare charge it head-on. Its massive mouth on its abdomen let out a confused yet savage roar, and its enormous arm yanked violently, attempting to pull Lin Feng into its attack range.
But Lin Feng's speed was even greater!
The instant before his body was about to make contact with the Abyssal Butcher, his eyes blazed with golden light!
"Origin Plunder!"
This time, he didn't scatter his targets but locked his Plunder firmly onto the only enemy before him—the Abyssal Butcher!
Buzz!!!
A goldensilk, more solid than any before, like a spear of divine retribution, instantly pierced the Void Realm, accurately stabbing into the Abyssal Butcher's massive body!
"Roar...?"
The Abyssal Butcher's movements suddenly stiffened.
An unprecedented sensation of weakness, like a plague, spread wildly through its body. Its steel-like muscles began to loosen, and the torrent of power surging within it felt as if half of it had been instantly drained! It even felt its connection to the Abyss becoming blurry at this moment!
At the same time, a surge of pure energy, far exceeding any previous Plunder, wildly poured into Lin Feng's body!
【Ding! Warning! You are activating 'Origin Plunder' on Elite BOSS 'Abyssal Butcher'!】
【Ding! Due to Rank and tier suppression, Plunder effect is weakened by 70%!】
【Ding! Plunder successful! You have gained Temporary Strength * 15.0, Temporary Physique * 20.0, Temporary Agility * 8.0!】
【Ding! You have obtained Special Energy: 'Power of Slaughter' (Weak)!】
【Hint: Your body has reached its current endurance limit; attribute boosts will begin to decay after 60 seconds!】
Even when weakened by seventy percent, the rewards from Plundering a BOSS were still earth-shattering!
Lin Feng felt as if his body was a balloon inflated to its limit; every inch of muscle, every bone, was filled with explosive power! The wound on his back, under the powerful Physique boost, actually began to rapidly writhe and heal!
His Rank 12 body now carried the terrifying attributes of a nearly Rank 20 job-changer!
"Now!"
Lin Feng roared, his body, perched on the iron chain, suddenly sprang forward. In the instant the Abyssal Butcher's reaction was dulled by weakness, he closed in!
Like a nimble ape, he climbed onto the Butcher's thick arm, ignoring the stench and slime emanating from its body, and in a few steps, he rushed onto its broad shoulders.
This was a blind spot in its vision and an excellent position for attack!
"Die!"
Lin Feng's feet dug into the Butcher's shoulder blades like nails. Both fists shot out, and under the enhancement of Dragon God Transformation, they transformed into two golden streams of light, raining down like a torrent onto the Abyssal Butcher's neck, which had no head, only a massive mouth!
"Dragon Fist: Wild Dance!"
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Dull thuds, like war drums, resounded densely! Each punch contained terrifying power sufficient to shatter stone tablets!
-1850!
-1920! (Critical Hit)
-1888!
...A dense string of damage numbers frantically erupted from the Abyssal Butcher's body! Its incredibly tough skin, which ordinary swords found hard to harm, was battered into a bloody mess under Lin Feng's iron fists, black blood splattering everywhere!
"Roar—!!!"
The intense pain sent the Abyssal Butcher into a frenzy! It twisted its body wildly, its other free hand swinging a massive cleaver, haphazardly hacking at itself, attempting to crush Lin Feng, this "flea"!
Lin Feng's figure was agile, moving back and forth on the Butcher's shoulders and back, narrowly avoiding the giant blade that could cleave him in two each time. His attacks, however, never ceased; his fists, like tireless battering rams, continuously inflicted damage in the same spot!
On the other side, the four Abyssal Priests, who had been affected by the ritual backlash, finally recovered. Seeing their guardian being beaten down by a human, they all let out angry shrieks, raised their staffs, and began chanting malicious curses.
"Dream on!"
Lin Feng had already allocated a sliver of his attention to them.
Just as a Shadow Arrow was about to form, Lin Feng freed a hand and pointed it at that Priest from a distance.
"Gathering Skill!"
【Ding! You have activated Gathering Skill on 'Abyssal Priest'... Gathering failed!】
【Ding! Gathering on a living target in combat significantly reduces success rate!】
It failed!
But Lin Feng's goal was never to gather!
The energy fluctuation and Spirit lock-on at the moment Gathering Skill was activated successfully interfered with that Priest's Spellcasting! The Spell he had condensed instantly dispersed, and he himself suffered a minor Spell backlash, letting out a pained groan.
Lin Feng used the same method, continuously harassing the Spellcasting of the other three Priests with the lock-on effect of Gathering Skill. For a time, the four Spellcasters, who should have been a huge threat, were suppressed by him alone in this rogue manner, unable to effectively output damage!
On the battlefield, a bizarre scene unfolded.
A puny human was furiously dealing damage while standing on the mountain-like BOSS, simultaneously suppressing the four distant Spellcasting elites with ease!
But this was not a long-term solution after all.
"Roar!"
The Abyssal Butcher, unable to land a hit for a long time, grew increasingly frantic. Its massive mouth on its abdomen suddenly opened, and a thick, bloody energy began to gather in its throat!
Alarm bells rang in Lin Feng's heart! This was a sign that the BOSS was about to unleash a big move!
He didn't hesitate, abandoning further attacks. He pushed off with his legs, leaping high from the Butcher's body, and pounced towards a distant Abyssal Priest!
The moment he leaped away, a thick pillar of bloody energy shot out from the Abyssal Butcher's huge mouth, sweeping past its body and blasting a large patch of charred flesh from the spot on its shoulder where Lin Feng had just stood!
If he had been a step slower, Lin Feng would definitely have been instantly killed by this move!
And at this moment, Lin Feng's figure, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, had pounced before a weakened Abyssal Priest.
The Priest's eyes were filled with Fear. He raised his staff, wanting to resist, but in the face of absolute speed and power, everything was futile.
"First one!"
Lin Feng's clean and decisive Dragon Fist directly pierced its chest!
【Ding! You have killed 'Abyssal Priest' (Rank 16), gaining Experience * 6000!】
Without waiting for the other demons to react, Lin Feng pivoted and rushed towards his second target.
The greatly weakened Abyssal Butcher moved sluggishly, its massive cleaver swinging with countless openings, posing no threat to him. He also easily dodged the Spells of the other two Priests with his agile movements.
At this moment, Lin Feng was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, transforming into a true Grim Reaper!
Thump! Thump!
With two more dull thuds, the remaining two Priests also fell under his fists.
In just over ten seconds, four powerful Spellcasters, all annihilated!
Now, in this open basin, only Lin Feng remained, and the Abyssal Butcher, growing increasingly enraged due to its severe injuries and weakness.
One on one!
"Roar!!!"
The Abyssal Butcher tossed aside its cumbersome cleaver, its two massive hands frantically pounding its chest, entering its final berserk state.
Lin Feng took a deep breath; the 60 seconds of attribute amplification were almost up. He had to finish this quickly!
Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging head-on towards the rampaging Abyssal Butcher!
One human and one demon, two figures with vastly different sizes, collided with a resounding crash before this dilapidated altar!
