Immunity to control skills
The Zombie Centurion completely ignored the group of undead creatures before it, locking onto the enemy that posed the greatest threat to it: A Li.
Frenzied Charge!
The Zombie Centurion charged at A Li at high speed, brandishing its three-meter-long horse-chopping sword, completely ignoring Ghost, who was charging at the very front.
Ghost was angry and, without hesitation, unleashed Death Grip on the Zombie Centurion.
Black power of death spread out beneath the Zombie Centurion's feet, winding around it like a rope.
Ghost clenched his fingers, "Get back here!"
The Zombie Centurion was yanked forcibly in front of Ghost mid-charge.
Death Grip is an aggro-generating skill, forcing the Zombie Centurion to attack him.
Whether in defense or attack, Ghost far surpassed the Zombie Centurion.
The Zombie Centurion's attack landed on Ghost. -1680.
Ghost let out a cackling laugh and swung his club at the Zombie Centurion. -3300.
One zombie and one skeleton entered a brawl mode, trading sword strikes and club swings.
Ghost held an absolute advantage in attributes, but his output was still lacking; he had no attack skills.
Oh, it couldn't be said he had none; he did have one attack skill: Bone Throne.
But the original intention of this skill wasn't for damage; it was to suck up to his big brother.
Although Ghost was an undead creature, he knew he must never forget his original intention.
As the two were brawling, a silver figure was rapidly approaching.
A Li activated Frenzied Charge and rammed into the Zombie Centurion.
The stun effect lasted less than 0.5 seconds. A blood-red light flashed over the Zombie Centurion.
The Unyielding skill was activated, granting immunity to all control skills for 5 seconds.
A Li's charged Drawing Slash had already been prepared.
The Zombie Centurion sensed the threat and used the Bone-Shattering Blade skill on A Li.
The battle escalated from a brawl to an imperial PK.
-253,000 (Critical Hit), -135,000.
A Li's skill dealt 380,000 damage, while the Zombie Centurion's skill landed on A Li, dealing 5,000 damage.
This was even with a critical hit; if it hadn't critted, the damage would have been even lower.
Triple Slash, Sweep. -84,250, -86,640, -85,790, -53,220.
The Zombie Centurion only had a total of 500,000 HP.
After one combo from A Li, it had dealt nearly 700,000 damage.
The Zombie Centurion's Unyielding skill duration hadn't even ended before it was instantly killed on the spot.
It didn't even have a chance to use Death Sentence Sword Qi.
[Killed Zombie Centurion (LV18), EXP +15,000]
[Level increased to 16 (11,930 / 70,000)]
"A Li, well done," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "Ghost, you performed well too."
Simply from a combat perspective, A Li had high burst damage and decent survivability, with no obvious weaknesses, making him more than a cut above Ghost.
However, Ghost wasn't without his merits. With Undead Summoning and "Everyone for Me" as a foundation, he was maxed out in bullying weaklings and survivability.
Most importantly, Ghost knew how to suck up. A single Bone Throne was emotional value maxed out.
While others walked on two legs, Lin Yuan sat perched in mid-air. When others looked at him, they had to look up. Didn't that immediately highlight the gap?
The Zombie Centurion dropped three items: a skill book, a weapon, and a yellow crystal core.
[Unyielding Will] (A)
Skill Description: Instantly remove control effects and become immune to control effects for the next 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.
[Horse-Chopping Sword - Two-Handed Sword]
[Quality: Platinum]
[Equip Requirement: Strength ≥ 200]
[Attributes: Attack +240]
[Characteristic: Attacks ignore 5% of defense]
[Disease Crystal] (One-time item)
Description: An item used to open the gates of the Corpse King Palace.
Lin Yuan gave both the skill book and the Horse-Chopping Sword to A Li.
The Horse-Chopping Sword had significantly higher attack power than the Bone Greatsword and looked better, too.
The ignore-defense characteristic was very suitable for A Li, and he was very satisfied after receiving it.
After learning Unyielding Will, A Li no longer had to fear bosses with many control skills like the Frosty Sword Guard.
[Zombie Centurion killed, Jungle Camp area cleared (1/4)]
[Please select the next area to advance to]
Three purple Teleportation Gates appeared in front of Lin Yuan.
Left: Venom Laboratory. Center: General's Corridor. Right: Scholar's Library.
"It seems that if I want to see the Corpse King, I must first clear the mini-bosses in all four areas."
"As expected of a 25-man raid Dungeon, it's not exactly easy to even see the boss."
Lin Yuan glanced at the remaining time. [Time remaining until restriction lift: 1 hour 35 minutes]
The Jungle Camp had taken Lin Yuan 25 minutes. With four areas, assuming 20 minutes each, plus the final boss, there wasn't much time left for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan considered for a moment and chose the Scholar's Library on the right.
There should be magic-type monsters in the library, right? Magic-type monsters had low HP and were easier to deal with.
When Lin Yuan chose to enter the Scholar's Library, the 23 members of the Tianfeng City Professionals Association's Assault Team had just entered the second passage of the General's Corridor.
Zhao Xiong glanced at the remaining time. "There's an hour and a half left."
"Everyone, push hard. Once we clear the zombies in this passage, we'll be able to see the boss."
"The final boss of a regional Dungeon drops gear that is at least Platinum quality. If we're lucky, it could even drop Diamond quality gear."
"With good gear, why would we fear not passing the Class Transfer Mission?"
Hearing Zhao Xiong's words, the morale of the team members behind him rose significantly.
"Captain Zhao, hurry up and start the fight. We can't wait anymore."
"Yeah, I didn't get a share of the two Gold pieces of gear that dropped earlier. My big blade is already thirsty."
Zhao Xiong smiled, "Hahaha, I'm starting the fight." He then raised his shield and rushed toward the zombies in the passage.
As all the team members were pushing forward with confidence, an inconspicuous man wearing glasses in the team wore a mocking smile on his lips.
The man pushed up his glasses and muttered to himself, "They're about to die and don't even know it, a bunch of idiots."
At this very moment, outside, the expressions of Lin Yandong and Shen Zhong had changed from their initial solemnity to smiles, because they could see the progress of the Assault Team through the area map on the statue.
There were four areas on the statue—top, bottom, left, and right. The yellow pattern at the bottom had already dimmed, representing that this area had been cleared.
People outside couldn't see the specific situation in the Dungeon, but everyone believed that being able to clear the first area so quickly must be the credit of the Assault Team.
"The Assault Team has already cleared one area. Once they clear the other three, they'll be able to see the final boss."
Lin Yandong's expression was gratified because he knew that to clear an area this quickly, the Assault Team must have worked very hard.
"The Assault Team under President Lin is reliable at critical moments."
Shen Zhong affirmed the combat power of the Assault Team, "At this rate, clearing it in an hour and a half shouldn't be a problem."
