92: Chapter 92 The Flame Emperor!

This sensation of rapidly growing stronger made Lu Yin feel involuntarily cheerful.

"Continue forward."

The Death Soldier formed a phalanx, advancing like a meat grinder.

Deep within the tunnel, Crimson Sand Worms became increasingly numerous, and special variants even began to appear.

[Crimson Sand Worm Queen (Elite)]

[Level: 38]

[Strength: 1,200, Constitution: 10,000]

[Agility: 800, Spirit: 6,000]

[Skills: Searing Breath, Sharp Tooth Bite, Carapace Regeneration, Frenzied Hiss]

A significantly larger Crimson Sand Worm let out a piercing hiss. The eyes of the surrounding Crimson Sand Worms instantly turned blood-red, and their attack speed and strength increased by a notch.

Lu Yin's gaze narrowed slightly; the Death Legion's formation fluctuated slightly under the frenzied impact of the insect swarm.

However, Lu Yin did not panic. He watched as the previously killed Crimson Sand Worms slowly rose under the infusion of rare-grade souls of death.

Their original red insect carapaces turned a pitch-black ink color, looking even sturdier.

In terms of attributes, they also received a boost, returning to the front line to fill the gaps and withstand damage.

Lu Yin had now basically achieved freedom with rare-grade souls of death.

As long as he didn't expand the legion's numbers on a large scale, he could completely maintain all current Death Soldier at the rare-grade rank.

[Ding! You killed a Crimson Sand Worm Queen, experience points increased by 14,000 (-20%)!]

[Ding! Obtained loot: Crimson Sand Worm Egg!]

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

As they went deeper underground, the scorching aura became more intense.

The crystals on the rock walls gradually changed from a dim yellow to a crimson red, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and burning.

The tunnel became exceptionally wide here, forming a massive underground cavern.

Inside the cavern, over a hundred sand worm monsters of various forms wandered about.

If an ordinary team came here, they would face a quite difficult and dangerous battle.

After all, it was wide here, unlike the narrow tunnels before.

Front-line warriors could easily block monsters outside, giving the back-line space to output damage with peace of mind.

But for Lu Yin, it didn't make much difference.

Even if his back-line damage dealers were approached by monsters, they could still rely on ultra-high attribute buffs and the trait of ignoring defense to achieve a counter-kill.

"Abolition Spiral!"

"War Stomp!"

"Soul-Rending Dance!"

"Ice Storm!"

"..."

Various skills were poured out all at once, and a large number of damage figures flew by along with system prompts.

-645,653!

-13,256!

...

[Ding! You killed...]

In less than a minute, all the monsters were slaughtered.

Lu Yin's experience points had once again reached the threshold; as long as he killed the BOSS, he could reach the next level.

This was the efficiency of a large-scale team Dungeon. The only pity was that besides having a cooldown, team Dungeons also had a limit on the number of entries per day.

Just like the God Challenge Dungeon, except the limit for team Dungeons was 3 times.

After all the monsters were killed, the entire cavern began to shake.

The sandy ground in the center of the cavern suddenly surged violently, and a huge mound rose from underground.

Accompanied by a deafening hiss, sand and stones flew everywhere as a giant insect, its size far exceeding all previous monsters, burst out of the ground.

It was over ten meters long, its entire body covered in a thick, dark-gold carapace.

The surface of the carapace was covered with lava-like crimson patterns, as if scorching liquid was flowing within them.

But the most eye-catching feature was its massive single horn, which radiated heart-palpitating fluctuations.

The moment the BOSS appeared, the temperature of the entire cavern soared abruptly.

Its three pairs of crimson compound eyes locked onto Lu Yin, letting out a piercing hiss that shook the crystals on the rock walls, causing them to fall in patters.

[Flame Sovereign King · Eros]

[Level: 40 (Nightmare-grade BOSS)]

[Strength: 6,000, Constitution: 60,000]

[Agility: 4,500, Spirit: 40,000]

[Skills: Sandstorm Impact, Frenzied Bite, King Worm's Call, Flaming Armor Combustion, Flame Sovereign Domain, Flame Sovereign's Wrath]

The BOSS's attributes were quite terrifying, almost catching up to a Level 70 Abyssal Demon General.

Of course, this was because this BOSS had the attribute bonuses from the team Dungeon rules.

This made its four-dimensional attributes far exceed those of creatures of the same level.

Furthermore, Abyssal Demons are only at their peak state within the Abyss.

Outside the true Abyss, they would also have a layer of debuff on them.

"It seems the Death Legion needs another wave of updates."

Looking at the BOSS's attributes, Lu Yin calculated inwardly.

While Lu Yin was calculating, the Flame Sovereign King roared and launched an attack at him.

Sandstorm Impact!

As the BOSS's skill activated, a violent sandstorm whipped up out of thin air within the cavern.

Fine grains of sand swept in like blades, instantly attacking the Death Legion.

-325! -3,336! -3,189!

Dense damage numbers floated up from the heads of the Death Soldier. Although the single-instance damage wasn't high, the continuous sandstorm attack caused the front line's health bars to begin a slow descent.

Being able to break through the defense of the Death Soldier was enough to show the power of this BOSS.

"Attack."

Lu Yin no longer hesitated. Enduring the Flame Sovereign King's assault, he ordered the Death Legion to counterattack.

After a round of attacks, the Flame Sovereign King let out a cry of pain, and its health was temporarily locked.

"This is the second phase."

Lu Yin watched as the Flame Sovereign King's massive body twisted continuously, and the crimson patterns on its dark-gold carapace became even hotter.

Flame Sovereign Domain!

This was an area-of-effect skill of the Flame Sovereign King. An invisible energy radiated from its body, and any creature caught in it was afflicted with a layer of debuff.

[Affected by Flame Sovereign Domain, Attack and Defense decreased by 3%!]

Then, flames immediately ignited on its body.

Flaming Armor Combustion!

This was another defensive-type skill; besides enhancing its own defensive capabilities...

...it could also cause continuous burn damage to enemies within a 5-meter radius.

-2,356! -2,464!

...

Seeing this, Lu Yin used a thought to make the burning Death Soldier retreat.

At the same time, Yarberna and Kasa attacked simultaneously. With one move each, they instantly brought the Flame Sovereign King's health down to 1%.

The Flame Sovereign King let out a deafening hiss, and the crimson patterns on its dark-gold carapace flowed like blood vessels.

A blinding red light gathered on the Flame Sovereign King's massive single horn, and the surrounding air began to warp.

It suddenly raised its head, aiming its horn in Lu Yin's direction!

Flame Sovereign's Wrath!

A thick, crimson beam of light blasted out, burning even the air it passed through.

"Black Flame Incarnation!"

"Black Flame Shield Counter!"

Black flames ignited all over Kasa's body as he flashed in front of Lu Yin, holding his giant shield.

Boom!

The crimson light beam slammed hard into the black flame shield, erupting with a deafening roar.

The scorching energy and the dark black flames collided violently, stirring up ripples of energy visible to the naked eye.

Block!

Although the giant shield in Kasa's hands vibrated violently, he steadily blocked this fatal blow.

"Shield Counter!"

Kasa gave a low shout and shoved the shield forward forcefully.

The absorbed crimson energy, mixed with dense black flames, transformed into an even more terrifying black-red light beam, surging back at an even faster speed!

Boom!

The black-red light beam slammed into the Flame Sovereign King's body. As the damage numbers floated up, its health bar was finally emptied.
