120: Chapter 12 World-Class Boss!

[Ding! You have killed a Time-Space Worm, experience points increased by 60,000 (-20%)! ×10]

[Ding! Obtained loot: Silverglow Fragment ×1, Time-Space Essence ×10!]

[Ding! Obtained rare-grade soul of death ×1!]

As the ten Time-Space Worms were instakilled by Lin Xiao's single sword strike, ten massive insect corpses fell from the void.

While these Time-Space Worms were alive, they appeared in a semi-transparent state.

After death, their bodies turned silver-white, looking like something out of a dream or a fantasy.

Lu Yin glanced at the corpses of the Time-Space Worms and waved his hand. Ten rare-grade souls of death flew out and landed on the insect corpses.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Accompanied by several hums, the ten silver-white insect corpses slowly stood up.

Their bodies became transparent once again, surrounded by faint ripples of time and space.

He clicked open the attribute panel of the Time-Space Worms.

【Void Worm】

【Level: 5 (rare-grade)】

【Strength: 4,000, Constitution: 50,000】

【Agility: 4,500, Spirit: 50,000】

【Skills: Void Bite, Time-Space Worm Tunneling, Time-Space Wrinkle, Time-Space Shadow, Time-Space Countercurrent, Death Black Hole】

In addition to the increase in attributes, they had also gained a new skill.

Lu Yin looked satisfied at the ten newly transformed Void Worms; their silver-white bodies flickered in and out of existence under the flowing silver light.

"This... it's over just like that?"

Su Xiaoruan's mouth hung open as she watched the scene before her in disbelief.

She had originally prepared herself for a hard-fought battle, but she never expected it to end so quickly.

"So... so abnormal."

Ling Ying also gave a bitter laugh, her face filled with incredulity.

Milian deactivated her Battle Angel form and walked over to Lu Yin's side.

"The rule of the Time-Space Corridor is that you can only leave after killing all the monsters."

"Since the Time-Space Worms have all been eliminated, we should be able to continue forward."

Sure enough, the moment her voice fell, the surrounding space began to fluctuate.

The mountains and trees, which were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, gradually stabilized.

The silver-gray sky also returned to its normal flow.

"Look! A path has appeared ahead!" Ling Ying pointed into the distance.

In the previously distorted space, a small path paved with silver crystals slowly emerged, leading toward a dense forest in the distance.

"Exiting from here should lead to the normal space of the Rift of Time."

"Let's head out first."

With Milian leading the way, the group walked along the path.

As the silver crystal path extended, the surrounding scenery gradually became clear and stable.

Those distorted Time-Space Wrinkles disappeared, replaced by a dense and strange forest.

The branches and leaves of the trees had a crystal-like texture, refracting a blurry halo under the reflection of the silver-gray sky.

Tiny silver specks of light drifted in the air, like countless minute fragments of time dancing gently.

"Is this the true face of the Rift of Time?"

Su Xiaoruan looked around curiously, her small hand unable to resist touching a passing silver speck of light.

The speck of light burst gently at her fingertip, turning into a circle of subtle time-space ripples.

"Be careful."

Milian warned, "Everything in the Rift of Time is related to the laws of time and space. Do not touch unknown objects lightly."

"These specks of light floating in the air could very likely be a small world."

"If you are sucked into one, you must complete the mission inside before you can come out."

Milian's words made Su Xiaoruan timidly withdraw her hand.

Right at that moment, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly came from deep within the dense forest ahead.

Rumble!

The ground began to tremble, and the crystal-like trees swayed one after another, making crisp clashing sounds.

A massive silver pillar of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire forest as if it were broad daylight.

"Something's happening!"

Ling Ying immediately transformed into her raptor form and took to the air to scout: "What is that?!"

Hearing Ling Ying's exclamation, the group quickly moved through the dense forest.

The sight before them caused both Milian and Su Xiaoruan to gasp.

In an open clearing, a massive time-space vortex was slowly rotating.

In the center of the vortex, a behemoth composed of countless time-space fragments was gradually taking shape.

It had a humanoid silhouette, but its entire body was made of flowing silver light and time fragments. Its eyes were two miniature black holes that constantly collapsed and expanded.

Just by standing there, the surrounding space began to warp and deform.

【Time-Space Guardian · Chronos】

【Level: 5 (World-Class Boss)】

【Strength: 12,000, Constitution: 100,000】

【Agility: 10,000, Spirit: 140,000】

【Skills: Time Stop, Spatial Tear, Time-Space Rewind, Doomsday Judgment, Eternal Imprisonment】

"This is a World-Class Boss, one tier higher than an Elite monster. It spawns randomly in the Dungeon."

"Defeating it usually drops rare items."

"However, because this kind of monster is difficult to kill and the sounds of battle might attract other teams..."

"...it usually takes multiple teams working together to take it down."

Milian explained as she looked at the figure of the Time-Space Guardian.

"A World-Class Boss." Hearing Milian's words, Su Xiaoruan's expression changed slightly.

However, when she saw Lu Yin's calm face, her heart rate, which was about to accelerate, immediately stabilized.

With such a big shot present, who cares if it's a boss or not? Just take it out and be done with it.

And under the gaze of the others, Lu Yin summoned the ten Void Worms.

Just as Lu Yin summoned the ten Void Worms, the Time-Space Guardian seemed to sense a threat.

Its eyes, like miniature black holes, suddenly contracted, and the surrounding space began to warp violently.

Time Stop!

The Time-Space Guardian let out a low resonance, and a silver ripple spread outward with it as the center.

Wherever the ripple passed, the floating silver light specks, the swaying crystal leaves, and even the air itself seemed to freeze.

"Retreat!" Milian's face changed. "This is its control skill!"

However, just as the ripple of Time Stop was about to reach Lu Yin and the others, the ten Void Worms simultaneously emitted a strange hum.

Time-Space Wrinkle!

The ten Void Worms activated their skill at the same time, strange Time-Space Wrinkles rippling around their bodies.

These wrinkles collided with the 'Time Stop' released by the Time-Space Guardian, actually triggering bursts of tiny silver sparks in the air.

The two powers of time and space canceled each other out, and the previously frozen space regained its flow.

"They can actually negate a World-Class Boss's control skill!" Ling Ying watched from the air, dumbfounded.

"So strong! His buff to his summons is just too ridiculous, isn't it?" Su Xiaoruan also exclaimed in shock.

Logically speaking, with the Void Worms' original attributes, they definitely wouldn't have been able to negate the Time-Space Guardian's skill.

But after being buffed, their four basic attributes had soared.

Thus, they could use a lower-level skill to achieve a reverse-crushing effect against a high-level skill.

Lu Yin ignored the surprise of the Three Women and instead controlled the ten Void Worms to launch a counterattack against the Time-Space Guardian.

"Void Bite!"

The moment Lu Yin's thought fell, the ten Void Worms simultaneously opened their hideous mouthparts.

Half of their bodies reached into the void, and ten bloody maws filled with sharp teeth suddenly appeared around the Time-Space Guardian.

Crunch!

Several gashes were instantly torn into the Time-Space Guardian's massive body, and a large number of staggering damage numbers floated above its head.
