80: Shock and numbness!

Earth-walking Demon Dragon (elite): Rank 40

health: 200,000 / 200,000

Attack Power: 2,600

Skills: Dragon Breath, Demon Dragon Bullet, Ground Sink Spikes, Elementary Dragon Scales (Magic Damage -20%)

In a purgatory level Instance, it starts with elite monsters; there are no ordinary wild mobs at all.

Furthermore, the attributes of monsters inside the Instance are far higher than those in the wild.

Just the 200,000 health and the attack power alone make them much stronger than the bandits of Demon Dragon Mountain.

Boom!

Fireballs soared into the air.

Facing the first Dragon Clan he had encountered so far, Lin Yue began his slaughter.

At the same time, various buffs from Cute Little Peach all landed on Lin Yue's head.

“Spell Damage +10%, Movement Speed +2, Physical Damage Reduction +20%, Casting Range +10%.”

A series of buffs significantly increased Lin Yue's damage output.

-18,888!

-18,000!

The damage from two Fireball Spells plus six Explosive Flames directly took out half of the Earth-walking Demon Dragon's health in a single wave of attacks.

“Lightning Spell!”

“Five-Arrow Volley!”

Behind him, Imperial City Overlord and Ink Feather also quickly attacked.

-1,000 x 2

-955 x 5

Lightning Spell dealt 2,000 damage, and Five-Arrow Volley dealt nearly 5,000 damage.

But the two shook their heads at the same time; compared to Lin Yue's damage, theirs was pitifully low.

Lin Yue's attack power was simply too high. They were now a bit afraid in hindsight; if they hadn't used techniques to negate Spell damage during their previous PK...

...they would have basically died from a single hit.

It was too terrifying!

After taking damage, the Earth-walking Demon Dragon let out a furious roar. In an instant, the dense crowd of Earth-walking Demon Dragons behind it was alerted and charged toward Lin Yue's group of four.

Chain Fireball!

Expressionless, Lin Yue stood alone at the front of the team, the staff in his hand spitting fire at an extremely fast speed.

Combined with the chain damage from Lightning Spell, Group Lightning, and Explosive Flame, his output was maxed out in an instant. In just two seconds, seven or eight Earth-walking Demon Dragons fell.

Despite the Earth-walking Demon Dragon's 200,000 health, it actually couldn't withstand the continuous damage from two of Lin Yue's Chain Fireballs.

Xiu xiu xiu!

Boom boom boom!

As if to prove their own strength, Ink Feather and Dragon City Overlord refused to be outdone, frantically unleashing Spells and arrows.

But they could only hit the low-health Earth-walking Demon Dragons, essentially just picking up the scraps behind Lin Yue.

On the other hand, Cute Little Peach was smarter. After immediately applying buffs to everyone, she just stood there loafing around.

“The Guild Leader is awesome! Go Dragon City and Ink Feather! Keep it up!”

Pulling out a peach from nowhere, Cute Little Peach shouted while munching on it.

“Can you please stop jinxing us?”

Dragon City Overlord's face was covered in black lines, his self-confidence taking a massive hit.

Both were Mages, so why was the gap between him and White Emperor so huge?

In just two short minutes, all the Earth-walking Demon Dragons in the first layer of the cave were killed.

Of that, over 95% was Lin Yue's output, while Ink Feather and Dragon City Overlord combined contributed less than 5%.

“Ding! You have reached Rank 16. free attribute points +5.”

With hundreds of elite Earth-walking Demon Dragons wiped out, and because Lin Yue had distributed all the experience to the other three, they all reached Rank 16 while fighting higher-level monsters.

“So fast!”

Ink Feather's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had leveled up many times with the elite team in the Rise Guild.

But that efficiency paled in comparison to White Emperor.

Lin Yue didn't say a word. In the next second, the four of them entered the second layer of the cave.

Compared to the first layer, the space in the second layer was twice as large, and the number of Earth-walking Demon Dragons had surged by more than three times.

Looking at the dense crowd of Earth-walking Demon Dragons before them, there were at least a thousand at first glance.

Both Ink Feather and Dragon City Overlord felt their scalps tingle.

If any other Guild had led a team here to grind, it would have been impossible to clear.

The numbers were too great; the front line wouldn't be able to hold at all.

However, with White Emperor leading the team, the result was different.

Not to mention Lin Yue's explosive output, which could kill several Earth-walking Demon Dragons in a second, just Lin Yue's health alone reached over 1.4 million.

Even if dozens of Earth-walking Demon Dragons attacked Lin Yue at once, he wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

Standing alone at the very front, Lin Yue gave off the vibe of a man holding a pass against ten thousand.

Thorn Halo had reached three stars, capable of reflecting 30% of physical damage. Combined with his high health regeneration and life steal, plus Cute Little Peach's full-effort healing...

...it was impossible for any monster to instant-kill the current Lin Yue.

Under the torrential bombardment of Spells, no matter how many Earth-walking Demon Dragons there were, they could only meet their end.

“Ding! You have reached Rank 17. free attribute points +5.”

Once all the Earth-walking Demon Dragons in the second layer were cleared, the light of leveling up flashed on the three of them again as they reached Rank 17... Dragon City Overlord and Ink Feather were completely sold. They had contributed almost nothing this time, just watching Lin Yue tanking at the front and outputting like crazy.

They had leveled up twice in just over ten minutes.

On the Rank leaderboard.

The three of them, who were originally lower in the rankings, suddenly all entered the top ten.

In a bit, they would surpass the second-place player and occupy the top four spots.

Dragon City Overlord and Ink Feather looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

If they had known that leveling with White Emperor was this easy, they would have joined his team long ago.

In the blink of an eye, they entered the third layer of the cave.

Here, they were no longer facing elite Earth-walking Demon Dragons, but ordinary Boss-level ones. In addition, there was an Advanced Boss.

There weren't many, only a few dozen, but the monsters' combat power had more than doubled.

This was the purgatory level!

Dragon City Overlord looked at the dozens of Boss monsters before him in disbelief.

If it were those Guild elites, they wouldn't even need to fight; they could just wait for death.

Any random Boss had health as high as a million, plus multiplied damage output, and they were over twenty Ranks higher. How could anyone win?

Only Lin Yue didn't panic at all, ordering Dragon City Overlord and Ink Feather to stay back.

He only told Cute Little Peach to focus on stacking buffs before charging into the battlefield alone.

Flying fireballs and lightning exploded in an instant.

It looked like a beautiful piece of art.

While the three of them watched in stunned silence, they saw Lin Yue just raise an eyebrow slightly and then dance alone among the dozens of Bosses.

The third stage was slightly challenging, but it wasn't a big deal; these Bosses couldn't even touch Lin Yue's shadow.

On the contrary, because Dragon City Overlord hadn't left the battlefield immediately, he was accidentally instant-killed.

Fortunately, Cute Little Peach immediately resurrected Dragon City Overlord. Losing only one Rank's worth of experience, he quickly revived and stayed far away from the battlefield.

Lin Yue, on the other hand, was not affected in the slightest.

He meticulously controlled his Spells and positioning, treating the dozens of Bosses as if they were thin air.

Boom boom boom!

In less than fifteen minutes...

...the third layer of the Demon Dragon Cave was cleared just like that!
