204: Chapter 204 The Epic Boss Goes Berserk! Who Will Stop It?

The calm wilderness was suddenly filled with clamor.

More than a dozen Professionals were fleeing in panic.

Most of them were junior and senior students from Galaxy Academy.

There were also a few teaching assistants and staff members.

The group had varying levels of strength, but at the very least, they were all Second Job Change Professionals.

The strongest among them were even level 60 Second Job Change Professionals.

But behind them, the terrifying aura of a massive, bipedal monster was raging.

Tall Instructor's expression changed drastically.

"It's actually this big guy."

A level 69 epic-grade BOSS, the [Venom-Sting Tyrant Dragon]!

This was the absolute king of the Second Job Change area, possessing high defense and additional poison-attribute attacks; it was extremely troublesome to deal with.

It usually only appeared deep within the region and rarely showed itself in crowded areas.

What happened today?

But regardless of the reason, it had already happened.

The two instructors looked flustered, yet they both stepped forward.

While shouting to guide the others to safety, they gritted their teeth and charged forward.

There was no other choice; after all, they were instructors.

Although neither of them had any confidence in facing this big guy, they couldn't just stand by and watch others die under the monster's claws.

As a defensive-type Knight Professional, Tall Instructor naturally took the lead.

However, right after he cast a skill to increase his resistance and downed a potion for a temporary status boost...

Bang!

In just one exchange, he was knocked back several steps.

"How did this guy get so strong?"

He shouted urgently, warning his companion.

After forcing him back with one move, the monster turned its target to Round-faced Instructor behind him.

The latter naturally wouldn't just sit and wait for death.

The moment Tall Instructor went out to block, he had already begun charging up his power.

Now, he waved his staff.

A massive, spherical fireball descended from the sky.

A max-level epic-grade offensive skill, [Meteor Fall]!

Boom!

Seeing that his skill had successfully landed, Round-faced Instructor's face lit up with joy.

Block!

-100,000!

But after seeing the two damage prompts appear, his expression changed again.

The base attack had actually been blocked directly!

Only the additional fire-attribute advanced true damage had dealt 100,000 points of damage.

But this big guy had a total of 85 million HP.

This amount of damage was practically just scratching an itch for it!

Sure enough.

After being hit by the meteor, the [Venom-Sting Tyrant Dragon] didn't even sway.

Hiss!

It even tilted its head back and roared, beating its chest with its claws.

It looked incredibly smug.

Glancing at Round-faced Instructor, it showed a mocking expression.

It seemed to be saying:

"Is this all the damage you can do, and you dare to attack me?"

Round-faced Instructor turned pale.

When he was level 69 at the Second Job Change, he had once joined a hunting party organized by dozens of academy instructors and dealt with this BOSS before.

At that time, even though most of the damage from normal attacks was negated by the opponent's defense, he could still deal some base damage.

There was even a chance to trigger a [Burn] effect, causing the opponent to continuously lose HP.

Now that his own strength had increased, why couldn't he even break its defense with his base attacks?

Had he become weaker, or had this big guy suddenly become stronger?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

However, years of combat instinct caused him to subconsciously wave his staff again, casting another curse-type fire skill in an attempt to stop the opponent.

But he didn't even have time to attack again.

Hum!

Following the [Venom-Sting Tyrant Dragon]'s earlier roar, it had actually dealt corresponding sonic damage to all nearby targets.

Tall Instructor, who was closest, took the full force of the roar and his entire body shook violently.

His HP dropped by one-fifth instantly!

Terrified, he retreated quickly and shouted at Round-faced Instructor.

"Damn it, I can't hold it off, run!"

Round-faced Instructor shook his head.

As a mage-type Professional, his spirit stats were very high.

When he cast his skill earlier, he had sensed the situation nearby.

Behind this BOSS, there were still two or three students hiding nearby, trembling in fear.

If the two of them left, those students would very likely be discovered and killed by the BOSS.

This was an epic-grade BOSS, and he doubted whether those students' [galaxy badge]s would work to revive them at their bound locations.

If they really died, it would be troublesome!

As for the two of them, as third job change Professionals and newly appointed instructors...

Their own [galaxy badge]s had been upgraded to epic-grade quality by the Dean.

Even if they couldn't defeat the BOSS today and died here, at most they would just be teleported out and be unable to use the badge's features for 3 days.

It would just mean staying in a safe area, not going out, and not grinding Dungeons, wasting a few days of time.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward resolutely.

"What are you running for? We are instructors!"

His words stunned Tall Instructor, who then nodded.

"You're right."

"Then let's have a good fight with this monster today!"

Round-faced Instructor rolled his eyes at him.

"Fight my ass!"

"This big guy's strength is clearly not right; it's not something the two of us can handle."

"I've already shouted in the group chat, and the nearby instructors will come once they see it."

Tall Instructor breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Just as he relaxed, he felt a cold wind brush past his ear.

It turned out that the [Venom-Sting Tyrant Dragon] was thoroughly enraged to see the two of them chatting as if nothing happened right in front of it.

It immediately unleashed its ultimate innate move.

Pfft!

Tall Instructor was instantly heavily injured, his HP bottoming out.

But the [Venom-Sting Tyrant Dragon] wasn't satisfied yet.

Between its eyes, a red beam of light burst forth.

It headed straight for Round-faced Instructor.

Seeing this, the fallen Tall Instructor shouted anxiously, "Dodge quickly, you can't take this hit!"

But the red light was incredibly fast and released suddenly.

With Round-faced Instructor's movement speed, it was impossible for him to dodge it easily.

He wanted to cast a movement-type skill, but just as the thought arose, he saw the red light already in front of him.

Forget it!

He sighed in his heart.

In the end, his strength was insufficient; this was all he could do.

But just when he thought he was about to be killed in one hit by the BOSS...

Boom!

A silver-white figure suddenly flashed before him, blocking in front of him and catching the BOSS's attack.

Looking at his own unscathed HP, Round-faced Instructor's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The fallen Tall Instructor, who had already given up, was also dumbstruck.

Even an attack that he, a top-tier defensive-type Professional, couldn't block had actually been blocked by someone.

As the two looked over, they saw the true face of this figure.
