43: Chapter 43 What a pitiful boss!

For Lu Yang right now, his damage is not actually lacking. Instead, crowd control immunity is much more important to him.

Although he is currently immortal and indestructible, once he is controlled—whether banished to another dimension, completely locked down, or his Soul suppressed—he would just be trapped in place, renewing his life infinitely, unable to die and unable to move, literally turning into a humanoid potted plant.

With this Diamond Physique, control effects below the demigod Rank will be completely ineffective against him.

Within the entire Milky Way, there might not even be any living beings who have mastered demigod-Rank control skills.

This allows Lu Yang not to worry about being continuously controlled and turning into a vegetative state for quite some time in the future.

Of course, if he really encounters a big shot possessing this level of control skills, Sister Shangguan will step in.

Even if Sister Shangguan cannot beat them, there are still the true big shots of the Alliance holding the front line.

He is still in the development stage right now; when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

Another point is that this Diamond stack can actually last for a whole day!

This instantly made Lu Yang think of a rather unorthodox and cunning playstyle.

If before a battle, he finds someone in advance to max out these Diamond stacks for him, wouldn't he just go completely berserk during the fight?

I have to say, when it comes to Soul Talents, the higher the quality, the truly greater the gap.

Even if Lu Yang only possesses a Diamond Physique, he is probably able to grow to a quite high level.

Thirty times the health and defense is simply too exaggerated!

Lu Yang glanced at his newly acquired talent with satisfaction.

He has become a bit stronger once again.

Truly not bad.

He continued to tag along behind Shen Qingci and the other three, and the party proceeded deeper along the cave passage.

Soon, they arrived in front of the second boss.

That was also in a large camp, but the scene before them was completely different from Iron Jaw's campfire camp.

There was no campfire in the center of the camp; it was replaced by an altar piled high with ghastly white skulls.

The skulls varied in size; some looked like Goblin skulls, while others clearly came from other races, densely stacked into a trapezoidal platform more than half a person high.

Feathers and bone fragments stained with dark smudges were inserted between the gaps of the bones, exuding a chilly and eerie aura in the dim light of the cave.

The air was filled with a heavy smell of blood and the bitter scent of some burning herbs, which mixed together to make one's nasal cavity tighten.

At the top of the altar stood a hunchbacked Goblin.

This Goblin was only about one meter five tall, and his entire body was draped with dense chain ornaments strung together by bone fragments. Those bone fragments varied in size and color, making a faint clicking sound with his subtle movements.

His face was covered with a thick layer of grayish-white mud, as if wearing a crude mud mask, exposing only one turbid and yellowish left eye.

The most distinctive feature was his right arm, which was twice as long as his left arm. His five fingers were as withered and thin as dry tree branches, gripping a giant bone staff that was half a body taller than him.

Embedded at the top of the bone staff was the skull of some unknown creature, with two clusters of eerie green light flames dancing in its hollow eye sockets.

In the four directions of the altar, two tall Goblins wearing ragged leather clothes knelt and bowed in each direction.

The aura emanating from these four Goblins was very strong; they did not look like ordinary elite monsters, but rather chieftain monsters.

Just like facing Iron Jaw before, Zhu Tongchen stealthily crept over first, and soon came back with the boss's attribute panel.

[Goblin Great Shaman · Grey Bone (Hero)]: Rank 8, Health 14000, Attack 200.

[Goblin Soul Walker (Chieftain)]: Rank 8, Health 4500, Attack 76.

Seeing the attributes on the panel, all four of them couldn't help but frown.

Health was fine to talk about, but mainly the attack—it actually reached a full 200!

Lance looked at Rebecca and asked with some worry: "Rebecca, can you hold out?"

Rebecca did not immediately guarantee it like before.

She frowned and remained silent for two seconds. Her dark blue eyes under her mask stared at the numbers on the panel, and her confidence in her tone decreased a bit: "Not necessarily... It is probably a bit difficult. I am only Rank 8, which is two Ranks lower, there is a certain Rank suppression, and this Shaman is a magic-type monster with too strong of an attack. I might not be able to hold out."

If it were when fighting small mobs, it would be fine. After all, with Rebecca's Soul Talent and full-body equipment, elite and chieftain monsters two or three Ranks higher than her posed no pressure to her at all.

But a hero-Rank boss and small mobs were completely two different concepts.

Previously facing the Rank 7 Iron Jaw, Rebecca even had a situation where her health dropped to 30%.

And Iron Jaw was only a melee monster; its burst capability was clearly inferior to magic-type monsters.

Facing the Goblin Great Shaman who was two Ranks higher than her, Rebecca had no confidence.

Although Rebecca had always been confident.

But confidence did not equal conceit.

In this realistic dungeon, once one becomes conceited and has an unclear understanding of one's own strength, death is not far away.

Shen Qingci silently nodded and also pointed out: "I wonder if the aggro of those eight Soul Walkers is linked. If so, there will be eight chieftain-level monsters together."

Zhu Tongchen added: "Shamans possess totem skills, and the Great Shaman is probably no exception. This boss will very likely have healing, and also possess group buff totems and group debuff totems."

The three of them analyzed it sentence by sentence, and Lance's small round face turned paler and paler at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The corners of his mouth twitched, he shrank his neck, and directly said: "How about... letting Brother Lu come?"

Hearing these words, Rebecca, Shen Qingci, and Zhu Tongchen also looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang had been listening quietly, and seeing the four of them look over, a smile carried on his face: "Me?"

Rebecca directly pushed up her mask, revealing her bright and pretty face, nodded generously, and smiled without any psychological burden: "Alright! Lu Yang, you come. We will just watch the show on the side. I am so scared of dying."

With a sweet and pure smile on her face, Shen Qingci waved her magic staff at Lu Yang: "Keep it up, Classmate Lu Yang! We will leave it to your performance!"

Zhu Tongchen softly said: "Brother Lu, do you need help?"

Lu Yang chuckled lightly: "No need, just by myself is enough."

Hearing these words, Zhu Tongchen nodded slightly and said no more.

Lu Yang smiled and said: "You guys just watch from the exit position, I will just go in."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci and the others nodded, silently retreating a few steps, and stood at the exit position of this cave.

As for Lu Yang, he directly activated the dual auras to the maximum degree.

The interwoven red and blue light spread out abruptly from beneath his feet like a breached tide, instantly enveloping the entire passage and sweeping towards the large camp ahead.

Almost simultaneously, two high-amount damage numbers floated above the heads of those eight Goblin Soul Walkers and the Goblin Great Shaman Grey Bone.

-1400!

-2215!

-1320!

-2103!

This terrifying damage reduced the health bars of those eight Goblin Soul Walkers to a sliver of health almost in an instant.

After Lu Yang advanced to Rank 10, he directly equipped the Rank 10 legendary polearm battle scythe wanghai black scythe and the legendary helmet wanghai crown dropped by Gu Feng earlier.

The blessing of the two Rank 10 legendary equipment made Lu Yang's current attack power exceed 270 points!

Coupled with the fully stacked War Frenzy, Lu Yang's current actual attack power had already exceeded 1600 points!

Under the blessing of such terrifying attack power, the damage of Flame Aura and Frost Aura could be imagined.

This was still because the defense capabilities of the Goblin Soul Walkers and Grey Bone were not low and reduced a lot of damage; otherwise, the damage would only be even higher!

Right now, Lu Yang was still nearly two hundred meters away from the altar area.

When the damage appeared, Grey Bone and those eight Goblin Soul Walkers hadn't even reacted to what had happened yet.

Frost covered their bones and skin, and flames burned on their bodies at the same time. Extreme cold and scorching heat descended at the exact same instant.

The immense pain made the eight Goblin Soul Walkers howl and directly jump up from the ground, with burning flames still hanging on their bone chains and leather clothes, while white frost and flames bizarrely coexisted on their bodies.

Until the aggro mechanism triggered, Grey Bone and the eight Goblin Soul Walkers finally locked their gazes onto Lu Yang, who was slowly walking over from the end of the passage.

Grey Bone's turbid and yellowish single eye instantly turned blood red, and it roared: "The Goblin God will protect us!"

As it spoke, the bone staff in its hand waved, and the eerie green flame in the eye sockets of the skull at the top of the bone staff surged wildly. Four rough totem pillars simultaneously bulged from the ground in four directions.

Healing Totem, Defense Totem, Haste Totem, Swamp Totem.

The top of each totem shone with light patterns of different colors, rippling circles of buff auras in all directions.

The bodies of the eight Soul Walkers were almost simultaneously covered by various colored lights.

They seemed to instantly gain confidence, holding bone blades and bone spears, roaring as they intended to rush towards Lu Yang.

However, at this time, the second second's dual aura damage had already arrived.

The Healing Totem restored about two or three hundred health points to each Soul Walker.

However, this little amount of health was completely a drop in the bucket for Lu Yang's exaggerated damage.

Almost at the instant the damage popped up, the health bars of these eight Goblin Soul Walkers were directly cleared out.

Before they even had time to scream, they turned into corpses and collapsed onto the ground, with unextinguished flames and melting white frost still remaining on their bodies.

The surroundings of the altar instantly became empty.

Only Grey Bone remained standing on the skull altar, the bone staff held high in its hand still shining with a faint green light. That turbid single eye gazed blankly through the grayish-white mud mask at the corpses of the Goblin Soul Walkers, carrying bewilderment in its eyes.

At the exit of the passage, Shen Qingci and the other four silently watched this scene, and actually felt a bit of pity for Grey Bone.

What a miserable boss...
