357: Chapter 357 This is completely unfathomable

The Berserker swallowed, his occupational habit acting up again.

He turned to look at the crowd behind him, lowering his voice: "Brothers, the first boss. This thing has three phases."

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

"Phase one, the boss will randomly target one person and initiate a Charge."

"The person targeted must immediately run behind the stone pillars at the edge of the platform and use the pillars to interrupt its Charge! Otherwise, it's an instant kill!"

"Phase two, the boss will smash the ground wildly, triggering a full-screen magma eruption."

"At this time, you must find the Frost Shields that appear randomly on the ground and stand inside them to survive! Healers must mindlessly spam group heals during this phase!"

"Phase three, the boss will split into eight small rock monsters."

"Tanks must hold the aggro of the small rock monsters, and the DPS must clear them within thirty seconds, otherwise the small rock monsters will recover health and enrage after regrouping!"

The Berserker spoke extremely fast, his words clear and logical.

He looked at Chen You, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, seemingly waiting for the great god's praise.

Chen You turned his head and looked at him quietly.

"You talk too much," Chen You said in a calm tone.

The Berserker immediately covered his mouth and shook his head violently.

Chen You swept his gaze across the whole scene.

"Your task is only one."

Thirty-nine people held their breath.

"Stand where you are, don't move," Chen You said.

He turned around, carrying the yuhuang sword, and walked toward the center of the circular platform.

The dark red light shone on his face.

The Lava Giant sensed the scent of a living person.

It slowly opened its eyes, two blinding flames burning in its eye sockets.

It propped up its massive body and let out a deafening roar.

The platform shook violently.

Chen You looked up at the mountain-like monster in front of him.

Abundant spiritual energy instantly surged within his dantian.

"Just right to gauge the bottom first," Chen You whispered to himself.

Having entered Foundation Establishment, facing a same-level lord-tier monster, let's see what it's like.

The Lava Giant Malphite let out a roar, shaking the magma around the platform violently.

Its aggro instantly locked onto Chen You, who was standing alone in the center of the platform.

"Roar!"

Phase one, Charge.

Malphite's massive body sank suddenly, its legs exerting force, carrying rolling heat waves and a piercing sound of breaking air, rushing straight at Chen You.

Behind the platform.

"Holy shit! Targeted! It targeted God You!" the Berserker shouted instinctively, his voice cracking, "God You, hurry and find a pillar! This thing will one-shot you if it hits!"

The Priest gripped their wooden staff tightly, palms sweating.

The Thief had already covered their eyes.

This was a level 45 lord with 15 million HP. The kinetic energy of that Charge, let alone a person, could collapse a mountain.

Chen You didn't move.

He stood where he was, not even raising his sword.

The Berserker's heart went cold.

It's over. Although God You has high damage, he might not understand the mechanics!

"Boom!"

A loud bang.

The scene the Berserker imagined of Chen You being sent flying did not happen.

On the contrary, the moment Malphite's massive body touched Chen You, it was as if it had crashed into an invisible steel plate.

On Chen You's body surface, a layer of faint cyan spiritual energy shield flashed and vanished.

The protective aura of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The massive kinetic energy of Malphite's Charge was forcibly stopped.

Its head, made of hard obsidian, emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound under the reaction force.

-1!

A large gray number floated up from above Chen You's head.

Malphite's massive body suddenly tilted backward, falling heavily to the ground and crushing a large area of stone slabs.

A golden vortex icon appeared above its head.

[Stunned State: Lasts 5 seconds]

Behind the platform, there was a deathly silence.

The Berserker's open mouth could fit an ostrich egg.

The Priest rubbed their eyes and dropped the wooden staff on the ground.

"I... what did I see?" the Thief muttered to himself, "The boss charged and stunned itself?"

"What the fuck is this defense? Is this even human?"

Chen You patted the non-existent dust on his Daoist robe and sighed.

"Is that it?"

He stepped forward, came before the stunned Malphite, and drew the yuhuang sword.

Auto-attack.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He didn't use any skills, just the most basic slashes.

But as an innate spiritual treasure, after Chen You entered Foundation Establishment, the yuhuang sword's attributes also grew several times over.

Each sword swing carried sword qi that tore through space.

[ - 180300! ]

[ - 301031! (Critical Hit) ]

[ - 195000! ]

Malphite's HP bar dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just five seconds of stun time, nearly a third of Malphite's HP evaporated.

Five seconds ended, Malphite woke up from the stun.

It roared angrily, raised its fists high, and smashed them onto the ground.

"Phase two! Full-screen AOE!" the Berserker dutifully explained again, "Find the Frost Shields! Quick!"

Thirty-nine players immediately scrambled around the entrance like headless flies.

"No need to look," Chen You's voice sounded in the team channel, "You're standing so far away, it can't hit you."

Just as he finished speaking.

"Boom!"

The entire platform shook violently, and countless magma fire pillars erupted from the ground, submerging the entire platform in a sea of fire.

The scorching magma instantly swallowed Chen You's figure.

"God You!" the Berserker exclaimed.

Three seconds later, the sea of fire dissipated.

Chen You was still standing where he was, not even a hair out of place.

He even waved his hand in disgust, dispersing the pungent sulfur smell in front of him.

The magma eruptions, which were enough to one-shot a level 45 player, didn't break his defense either when the damage numbers hit him.

Malphite was stunned.

Its brain, made of stone, clearly couldn't understand the situation before it.

Why didn't this human dodge?

Why didn't he lose HP?

Chen You looked at the dazed Malphite, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Your skills, besides the flashy special effects, are useless."

He flipped his wrist, and the yuhuang sword erupted with brilliant golden light.

Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique — Startling Hong.

A golden sword qi over ten meters long flashed out, stabbing directly into Malphite's legs.

[ - 280300! ]

[ - 430976! (Critical Hit) ]

...

"Awoo—"

Malphite let out a shrill scream, its massive body collapsing with a bang.

Its HP dropped below 30% almost instantly.

The forced HP lock mechanism triggered.

A layer of red invincibility shield appeared on the surface of Malphite's body.

"Phase three! Split!" the Berserker's voice was already numb; he now felt like a fool who only knew how to announce the phases.

Malphite's massive body began to tremble violently, and then with a "bang," it shattered into eight slightly smaller Lava Stone Men.

[Lava Guard (Elite)]

[HP: 500000]

After the eight small rock monsters landed, they immediately took steps, surrounding the center from all directions.

"Thirty seconds! We have to kill these eight 500k HP elites within thirty seconds!" the Berserker swallowed.

Chen You watched the eight small rock monsters surrounding him and sighed.

"Flashy but useless, a waste of time."

He raised the yuhuang sword high.

Spiritual energy surged wildly, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped instantly, forming a sharp contrast with the scorching heat of the magma.

Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique — Chaotic Stars.

Brilliant sword light spread out with Chen You as the center.

The eight running small rock monsters froze simultaneously.

The next second.

"Click."

The eight small rock monsters turned into piles of rubble simultaneously.

Still an instant kill.

Malphite's main body hadn't even had time to reorganize before it was declared dead in the void.

The system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations on slaying the Lava Giant Malphite]

[Time taken: 22 seconds]

The whole scene was silent.

At the entrance of the circular platform, thirty-nine players seemed to have been hit by an immobilization spell.

22 seconds.

A level 45 lord boss that required a 40-person team with tacit cooperation, fighting for at least ten minutes, and experiencing three wipe crises to barely pass.

Just like that, it's gone?

The Berserker slapped himself on the face.

"Slap!"

"It hurts... it's real."

His legs went soft, and he knelt down again.

"God You, please accept my knees."
