81: Lord-level Demon Dragon King, facing constant danger.

In the blink of an eye, they entered the fourth floor of the cave. Before Lin Yue could even speak, Dragon City Overlord and the other two had already distanced themselves far from him.

"Guild Leader, it's all up to you. We can't be of much help either."

Dragon City Overlord gave a bitter laugh. If they really went up to deal damage, they wouldn't even be able to react before being insta-killed by the boss.

"That's fine, just stand far away."

Lin Yue nodded. From the beginning, he hadn't expected the three of them to be of much help.

It was only because the Demon Dragon Instance Dungeon required a team to enter; otherwise, Lin Yue could have completely soloed it.

Unlike the first three floors, the fourth floor had the smallest area, with limited space for kiting. Fortunately, this floor was just a transition.

There were only five Advanced Earth-walking Demon Dragon bosses on this entire floor. For Lin Yue to deal with them, it was just a matter of time.

Boom, boom, boom!

The silent battle was on the verge of breaking out. Dragon City Overlord and Ink Feather also asked for a peach, and the three of them just squatted on the ground in the distance, munching on peaches while watching the fight.

"Hey, do you think the Guild Leader is so strong that he might have more than a King-level Talent?"

"I'm not sure, but it definitely exceeds King-rank. The three of us are all King-rank, and logically our strength shouldn't be bad, but we're far behind the Guild Leader."

"It seems there are Ranks above King-rank; we just haven't encountered them yet."

"Relax, relax. Regardless of what talent he has, the Guild Leader being this strong is a good thing for us."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

...The three of them were all people with high standards, but at this moment, they truly admired Lin Yue from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether it was a King-level Talent or an even higher-tier talent, even if the three of them had their suspicions, there was nothing they could do to change it.

What attracted them to Lin Yue was not just his formidable strength, but also his heart of a powerhouse.

This wasn't something that could be changed by talent alone; the three of them could see Lin Yue's uniqueness at a glance.

Unaware of what the three were chatting about in the corner, Lin Yue maneuvered against the five Advanced bosses alone. Every movement and attack was like dancing on the edge of a blade.

This time, it only took ten minutes to completely finish the battle.

It was much faster than the third floor.

Following Lin Yue's footsteps, the eyes of the three unconsciously became firm as they entered the final floor of the cave.

Fifth floor of the Demon Dragon Instance Dungeon.

This was the final floor of the Demon Dragon Instance Dungeon and the location of the ultimate boss.

As soon as they looked up, everyone saw an incredibly exaggerated sight.

A massive black Demon Dragon, ten meters tall and dozens of meters long, was lying on the ground dozing.

As soon as Lin Yue and the others entered, eyes the size of heads suddenly snapped open, letting out a deafening dragon roar.

Demon Dragon King (lord-rank Boss): Rank 40

health: 14 million / 14 million.

Attack Power: 30,000

Skills: Demon Dragon Breath, Demon Dragon Bullet, Demon Dragon Shield, Demon Dragon Roar, Gale Blade, Super Armor, Dragon Blood Formation, Breath of Annihilation, Brutality, Raging Demonic Flames, Recovery Aura.

Seeing the Demon Dragon King's attributes, Lin Yue's gaze narrowed.

As expected, the Demon Dragon King's attributes were even more exaggerated than the Mountain Overlord's, with a whopping 14 million health, 30,000 Attack Power, and a vast array of skills.

It was likely much more powerful than the Mountain Overlord.

Most importantly, the terrain of the fifth floor cave wasn't like the summit of Demon Dragon Mountain; the area here was limited, making kiting much more difficult.

What Lin Yue needed to do now was to avoid the Demon Dragon King's crowd control skills as much as possible.

Boom, boom, boom!

Right from the start, Lin Yue took the initiative to attack.

-20,000

-18,999

+5,000

+5,000

...After a probing attack, Lin Yue's expression shifted slightly.

Unlike the Mountain Overlord, the Demon Dragon King's recovery ability was truly ridiculous, with a base recovery of over 5,000.

Moreover, its magic resistance was extremely high. Even with Lin Yue's magic damage plus True Damage, he could only deal less than 20,000 damage.

Calculating the trade-offs, the damage from one round of Lin Yue's Chain Fireball was actually less than 100,000.

The trigger frequency of his passives had also decreased; clearly, the Demon Dragon King had high critical hit resistance.

"A bit troublesome."

After a brief assessment, Lin Yue didn't lose heart and began continuous attacks with his thunder punishment.

Boom, boom, boom!

One after another, fireballs and Explosive Flames constantly boomed against the Demon Dragon King. Compared to the Demon Dragon King's dozens of meters in size, it actually looked quite ordinary.

The coverage area was limited, and the Burning Effect of the Explosive Flames was restricted to a local area.

Demon Dragon Shield!

The Demon Dragon King wasn't stupid after being attacked. Realizing the tiny human before it dealt significant damage, it immediately activated a shield, enveloping its massive body.

Once the Dragon Shield was activated, Lin Yue's output was halved again.

The damage, which was already less than 20,000, now dropped directly to four digits.

This was truly outrageous.

It meant that for every fireball Lin Yue threw, after subtracting the Demon Dragon King's base recovery of 5,000, it only dealt less than 5,000 damage.

A single Chain Fireball couldn't even deal 10,000 damage.

Of course, Lin Yue's output calculation wasn't just based on Chain Fireball; there were also Explosive Flames and various triggered Spells.

Even so, after a round of fireballs, the damage was weakened to the extreme.

The total damage was less than 40,000.

This meant Lin Yue would need at least four hundred rounds of Spell attacks to barely kill the Demon Dragon King.

One round of Spell attacks included two fireballs and six Explosive Flames; without triggering Lightning Spell, this was the entire output.

After one such round, Lin Yue could stack 24 points of health.

Four hundred rounds would be seven to eight thousand health.

Calculating it this way, only this kind of lord-rank boss allowed for the rapid stacking of health.

To get the same amount from ordinary monsters, he would need to kill at least two to three thousand of them.

But not all leveling spots were like Demon Dragon Mountain, where Bandits gathered and could be farmed quickly.

In ordinary leveling spots, you had to farm, find, lure, and gather monsters, and even after farming them, you had to wait for the next wave to respawn.

The efficiency was far lower than it was now.

This was why Lin Yue hadn't looked for other leveling spots besides Black Water Pond and Demon Dragon Mountain.

"Roar!"

Having received a series of Spell attacks, the Demon Dragon King was no punching bag and immediately began its counterattack.

Demon Dragon Breath!

With its massive mouth wide open, an AOE attack spanning over ten meters was spat out towards Lin Yue.

Narrowly avoiding the spray of the dragon breath, his hands didn't slow down as he continued to counterattack.

The Demon Dragon King blinked. Seeing Lin Yue dodge, it didn't panic. Once the black dragon flames finished spraying, dozens of Gale Blades in the Void Realm rushed rapidly toward Lin Yue.

The half-person-high flaming wind blades were filled with elemental power; even a slight graze could tear through the ground and walls.

Sprint!

With such dense and terrifying attacks, it was impossible for Lin Yue not to be cautious; he immediately activated Sprint to maneuver.

Narrowly, he avoided all the wind blades.

In the next second, a massive dragon claw swiped down rapidly toward Lin Yue's head.

It truly didn't give Lin Yue even a single moment to catch his breath.

For a time, the situation became perilous.
