101: Chapter 101: Mythical-level Entries Upgraded Continuously! The Final Battle Arrives!

"Your [Sword Qi Gale] blocked an attack from an excellence Rank BOSS monster 12 Ranks higher than itself, progress + 81920."

"Your [Sword Qi Gale] blocked an attack from a legendary rank BOSS monster 12 Ranks higher than itself, progress + 163840."

Zhang Jian turned his head to look.

Two giant rats covered in flames appeared one after another.

Several more followed behind them.

Looking closely, there were three excellence Rank BOSSes and one legendary rank BOSS!

Zhang Jian was not alarmed but delighted instead.

He had just been saying that this progress was hard to grind, and now an opportunity had arrived, hadn't it?

He tentatively took a step forward, and a few more fireballs flew over.

Zhang Jian dove straight in front of the monsters.

He tanked it head-on.

Within a few hits, he had probed the details of these few BOSSes.

The only legendary rank BOSS was relatively troublesome.

It possessed a skill that could deal area-of-effect damage while simultaneously applying a continuous burning effect, which could consume a certain amount of shield value.

The various skill attacks from the other BOSSes did not include true damage types; they all had a lower priority than his shield.

Not worth mentioning!

He just needed to be a little careful; when his shield was heavily depleted, he could disengage from the battle and re-activate his Sword Qi shield.

Of course.

There was a technique to this too.

His own health was only over 1000 points.

When re-activating, he had to find low-attack normal monsters.

Otherwise, getting one-shot would be embarrassing.

Fortunately, he had performed such operations many times before and was quite skilled at it.

He stubbornly wore them down for a full half-hour before stopping.

On one hand, the affix had finally leveled up, and the next upgrade would require 100 million progress points, which, given the current monster progress and improvement speed, could not be completed in a short time.

On the other hand.

After Wang Fei and Wei Donglai had successively blocked quite a few monsters, they were also exhausted.

Zhang Jian did not deliberately try to slowly increase progress anymore and just took the opportunity to end this wave.

"You killed the Rank 21 legendary rank BOSS monster [Darkfire Curse King]."

"You gained 22400 (+ 161200) experience points."

"You successfully killed a BOSS Rank monster 12 Ranks higher than yourself using a normal attack, your [Combo Resonance] kill progress increased by 163840 points!"

"[I Only Hit the Elite] kill progress increased by 91820 points."

"[King of Solo] kill progress increased by 52 points."

With the death of the final BOSS, the seventh stage was successfully cleared.

Wang Fei and Wei Donglai spent a full minute picking up the drops on the ground.

Two legendary rank skill books.

Three legendary rank pieces of equipment.

One crafting recipe for a Rank 20 excellence Rank growth-type shield.

Two legendary rank crafting Materials.

Wei Donglai and the other exclaimed in disbelief while picking them up.

Zhang Jian also felt somewhat surprised.

Even if the drops in a Hell Rank Dungeon were slightly higher, this was too high.

It wasn't until he saw a notification that he understood.

It turned out that another affix had leveled up.

[I Only Hit the Elite] (Mythical)

After killing monsters of a higher Rank, additional experience gained is increased by 1000%, and base drops are increased by 100%

(To upgrade affix quality requires: Currently unable to upgrade)

This affix, which had accompanied Zhang Jian's growth from the beginning, had finally reached the Mythical Rank after experiencing multiple Dungeons with higher-Rank challenges and killing multiple high-quality BOSSes.

And not only that.

Another affix had also become Zhang Jian's second Mythical Rank affix.

[Combo Resonance] (Mythical)

Your normal attacks will automatically carry additional trait effects.

Currently triggered:

Every 3 consecutive normal attacks activate [Gale lv5] BUFF: Attack speed +50%, duration 3 seconds.

Every 5 consecutive normal attacks activate [Heavy Strike lv5] BUFF: Additional 50% true damage.

Every 10 consecutive normal attacks activate [Deterrence lv5] BUFF: Reduce the attacked target's movement speed by 50%, duration 5 seconds.

Every 20 consecutive normal attacks activate [Sure Hit lv3] BUFF: Any of your attacks will carry a minimum of 100 points of true damage. (12560 / 100000)

Every 100 consecutive normal attacks activate [Divine Punishment lv1] BUFF: Attack power/Critical hit rate increased by 30%, duration 10 seconds, carries area-of-effect splash damage, and every attack carries [Gale] and [Deterrence] effects; during this period, immune to control skill effects and reflects 20% of received damage. (0 / 100000)

(To upgrade affix quality requires: Currently unable to upgrade)

(To upgrade affix effect requires: Perform 28358 / 100000 effective normal attacks on monsters not lower than your own Rank)

Although the affix's quality had already reached the Mythical Rank and could not be upgraded.

The several BUFFs within the affix's effects could still be continuously strengthened.

The BUFFs activated earlier were all very practical.

As the Rank increased, they would become even more powerful.

This final [Divine Punishment] effect left Zhang Jian feeling intoxicated.

He could not imagine.

In the 10 seconds after activation, how powerful would he be?

Just as he was preparing to properly experiment with this affix's effects next.

"You have stayed in the Dungeon for over two hours, stamina depletion speed increased by 50%, Dungeon evaluation decreased."

The appearance of this notification gave him a shock.

Two hours had passed so quickly?

As expected of Hell Rank difficulty.

While Zhang Jian sighed, he also felt a sense of fatigue coming from his body.

Wang Fei and Wei Donglai also discovered this situation.

However, a Hell Rank Dungeon could not be exited early; they had to continue fighting.

Zhang Jian pulled himself together.

Fortunately, in the following eighth and ninth waves.

He did not encounter such troublesome BOSSes as in this stage.

Skills could be released as usual, and the combat power of the three erupted completely.

The monsters' base attributes were even more powerful.

But for the three of them, they were actually much easier to deal with.

With Wei Donglai constantly releasing [Song of Flame], the state of the three was almost always at their Peak.

With Wang Fei's skill buffs, the shields were also sufficient to block all damage.

Especially since Zhang Jian did not need to worry about insufficient mana, skills were released almost uninterrupted.

Even though the number of various types of monsters had increased, and the BOSSes even reached as many as two or three.

They only spent a little more time.

The legendary rank equipment in their backpacks piled up like a mountain.

legendary rank skills were even more densely packed.

Although there weren't any particularly suitable for them to use, they had full confidence to take them to exchange with the Reception Envoy.

After the final stage arrived.

All three were full of confidence.

Having persisted for so long, they had finally reached the final stretch!

For the sake of caution in this stage, Zhang Jian did not push too aggressively.

Instead, he stood guard in front of the furnace with the two, waiting for the monsters to arrive.

There were a full 900 normal monsters in this stage.

There were even 20 Leaders.

Wave after wave of monster attacks were all eliminated one by one by the continuously released [Sky Storm Slash].

Amidst the flashing lightning, piles of monster corpses piled up layer upon layer.

And the super-high cross-Rank bonus progress caused his [Sky Storm Slash] to soar all the way, increasing by another two levels.
