211: Chapter 211 The Sword Puppet is pretty strong! It's climbed to the top of the dungeon speedrun leaderboard!

He Zhongtang, who had just assumed a defensive stance and was preparing to test his own resistance, looked bewildered.

"Is it over already?"

Wang Wei's raised staff also froze in mid-air.

He looked surprised.

"Did I not even get a chance to attack?"

After checking, the two realized that the [Fearless Sword Puppet], having been raised to Rank 80, had its innate skill [Sword Slash] automatically upgraded to Lv8.

It could deal splash damage equal to 80% of its base damage, and the number of splash targets was as high as seven!

That was why it had just caused such a massive, instant kill effect.

The two looked at each other, their expressions filled with pleasant surprise.

The actual combat effectiveness of this Sword Puppet was even more powerful than they had imagined!

And this was just the effect of [Sword Slash].

Another group attack skill, [Sword Dance], could cover a larger area and had even better damage bonuses.

Wang Wei directly controlled his [Guardian Sword Puppet] and charged forward, preparing to lure all the monsters within his line of sight.

The Sword Puppet's speed was not slow, but in such a large Dungeon, it still seemed a bit thin.

He Zhongtang gritted his teeth and charged in another direction. Bang!

The damage he imagined did not appear.

When he crashed into a group of five or six monsters, he discovered that all that floated above his head was "MISS"!

The monsters couldn't break through his defense at all!

He Zhongtang's spirits lifted, and he let out a roar toward the sky.

He wasn't venting his emotions; he was casting his Level 6 epic-grade skill, [Battle Roar Taunt].

As the skill activated, surrounding monsters were continuously attracted by He Zhongtang, gathering around him one by one.

In no time, he had attracted over 30 monsters.

Following him, they were pulled into the attack range of his [Fearless Sword Puppet] and Wang Wei.

He Zhongtang finally felt the dignity of his tank class, and just as he was about to boast triumphantly, he heard a cold voice ring out in his ear.

"Beneath the sword, all are ants!"

He Zhongtang turned to look.

He saw that after Wang Wei's [Guardian Sword Puppet] spoke coldly, several large waves of monsters in the distance seemed to have received a signal and instantly charged toward them.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred monsters appeared neatly before the two, just like drilled soldiers.

Wang Wei waved his staff.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, suddenly crashing down.

Countless electric snakes twisted in the air, then landed and wove through the dense mass of monsters.

-39.39 million!

-39.39 million!

The damage numbers floating before their eyes were ridiculously high.

Most of these monsters were just common-grade monsters.

Even though the Nightmare-grade difficulty had strengthened them, they only had around 15 million HP.

How could they withstand such a bombardment?

In less than three seconds, the group of monsters that had looked so lively a moment ago was blasted into corpses.

Beside the piles of corpses lay several glowing loot drops.

This time, even the [Fearless Sword Puppet] barely had to attack before the battle ended.

Wang Wei panted slightly, his expression excited.

This was the first time he had been able to instantly kill monsters of the same Rank relying on this group attack skill.

This feeling was truly exhilarating!

He Zhongtang, being observant, clapped his hands exaggeratedly from the side.

"Brother Wei, awesome!"

The two hadn't been happy for more than a few seconds when more monsters were attracted by the commotion, appearing together and rushing toward them.

Wang Wei's expression changed slightly.

When he just released the skill, he had activated its max-level trait effect.

It had consumed an extra 70% of his mana to achieve such a terrifying result.

Seeing that his remaining mana was low and his other group attack skills weren't powerful enough, this wave of monsters was giving him absolutely no chance to catch his breath.

Just as he was pondering what tactics to adopt, the sword light in the [Fearless Sword Puppet]'s hand instantly soared into the sky.

The 80th-Rank epic-grade longsword that He Zhongtang had just purchased at a high price from the academy's free trading market bloomed like a flower.

Countless petals formed by Sword Qi erupted around the [Fearless Sword Puppet]'s body, charging directly into the pile of monsters.

Countless damage numbers floated up densely.

Although the individual numbers were not as high as Wang Wei's lightning skill earlier, the frequency of this Sword Qi attack was simply too fast!

Every second, more than three or four Sword Qi strikes would float above the same monster.

Thus, while it seemed like each damage number couldn't instantly kill a monster, under the skill's release frequency and overall coverage effect, the visual effect created was absolutely not inferior to Wang Wei's skill.

The two just watched as the petals formed by Sword Qi swept past them.

The next moment, there was nothing left before them.

It was empty, with only corpses and loot.

Hiss!

Both of them gasped in unison.

Lv8 [Sword Dance] was simply terrifying!

As they quickly picked up the loot on the ground and checked the Sword Puppet's status, they discovered that the cooldown time for this skill was only one minute.

Although it consumed quite a bit of mana, given the panel attributes after upgrading to Rank 80, it seemed mediocre.

In the time that followed, the [Sword Dance] skill truly shone.

Almost every time they lured monsters, they were able to successfully clear them.

Even when encountering elite-grade monsters, they couldn't withstand such high-frequency output at all.

Wang Wei couldn't even find a chance to attack.

Only during the final BOSS battle did he find time to release a few low-consumption single-target attack skills to show his presence.

By the time the BOSS fell and the two picked up three epic-grade items, they were both still a bit dazed.

The Nightmare-grade difficulty that had once tortured the five-man elite team they had joined was cleared just like that?

The SSS rating that appeared during the Dungeon settlement made them ecstatic.

This was a rating that only the top teams, who had thoroughly studied the Dungeon and cooperated many times, could achieve when they were lucky.

The two had only cooperated as a duo for the first time, and they had actually achieved such a rating?

When the light flashed and they stood in front of the Dungeon, their names had appeared on the Dungeon Speedrun Leaderboard.

They were ranked second with a time of 9 minutes and 54 seconds, only 52 seconds slower than the first-place record.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but grin.

They had never imagined that their names would one day appear on this list, and in such a high position!

This was Galaxy Academy, where Prodigies were everywhere and Divine-Grade classes were not rare!

Being able to occupy a spot on the Dungeon Speedrun Leaderboard here almost meant that they were already among the most top-tier existences in all of Huaxia, and even the entire Water Blue Planet!

The two reviewed the mistakes and inappropriate performances in the battle just now and reached a conclusion.

If they were to do it again, they could directly shorten the clear time to under 8 minutes!

And this was still because several of their skills hadn't been raised to max level, and some of the weapons and equipment on the Sword Puppet still had room for improvement.

He Zhongtang even had the urge to buy a Dungeon Reset Scroll, go again, and ruthlessly trample the existing fastest record!

However, his idea was met with Wang Wei's ruthless disdain.

This is what he said.

"With such a strong Sword Puppet, you want to use a Dungeon Reset Scroll that costs 150 million to farm a Dungeon of this Rank?"

His words made He Zhongtang realize.

It seemed... he could challenge something more difficult?
