Chapter 206: A New Record; An Invisible Slap In The Face Is The Most Devastating
Clack, clack!
The sounds of Skeletal Warriors running kept rising from behind. The Skeletal Warrior were dragging a bunch of corpses behind them. However, the monster corpses were disappearing, their health completely gone.
Only the Fire God's Palace Guards' corpses still remained. After all, their health was higher, and thus they could hold out a while longer.
The Skeletal Warriors, enveloped in flames, were constantly suffering damage. Even with the Elemental Resistance skill, which could reduce elemental damage by three times, even with the physique attribute of 24,000 points, the continuous stream of damage still gradually drained their health.
In nightmare rank difficulty, the Skeletal Warriors could last for up to 10 hours. In hell rank difficulty, however, the Skeletal Warriors could only last for less than three hours.
If they were to enter combat and take damage, the time would be further shortened.
Therefore, Lin Moyu was in a hurry. He didn't want to see more Skeletal Warriors dying.
After all, they were the most loyal soldiers, which he personally summoned. They couldn't speak and had no emotions, yet Lin Moyu was unwilling to let them die. He regarded them as comrades-in-arms and partners.
"Fortunately the dungeon isn't big!"
Yes, fortunately the dungeon wasn't big.After passing through the garden of lava guarded by the Fire God's Palace Gardener, they entered the area where the boss was located.
That huge eye flew over again, landed on top of the waterfall, and then turned into a Lava Giant with a single eye.
The Lava Giant rose amid booming noise, awakening.
"Can't you be faster!"
Soul Blaze burned in Lin Moyu's hand, and then fell on the Lava Giant. But it didn't have any effect. There was an invisible force blocking Lin Moyu's Soul Blaze.
During the awakening process, the Lava Giant couldn't be attacked. This was a feature of the dungeon, restraining Lin Moyu's actions.
There was nothing he could do but wait. Nevertheless, he still tried to use Soul Blaze.
The health of the Fire God's Palace Guards's corpses was diminishing by the second. Lin Moyu fell into contemplation, wondering whether there was any way to speed up the process, or whether there was a way to delay the time of the Fire God's Palace Guards' death.
Finally, the Lava Giant let out a roar, fully awake.
At this time, Soul Blaze took effect, and its roar turned into a wail.
Skill: Slowing Curse!
A red light fell, and the Lava Giant's speed instantly slowed.
Lin Moyu released all Skeletal Mages, except the fire-type ones, and wind, water, and lightning elements surged forth.
"Throw them!"
At the same time as the Skeletal Mages appeared, the Skeletal Warriors threw the corpses toward the Lava Giant.
These actions were completed in the span of one second. The coordination between Lin Moyu and the skeletons was perfect.
At this point, the health of the Fire God's Palace Guards' corpses was only one-quarter of what it was when they just died. Fortunately, the Corpse Explosion skill amplified the damage by 750%, so they were still able to cause considerable damage.
As if hidden weapons, the corpses flew in sync with Lin Moyu's Corpse Explosion skill.
Explosions sounded one after another. The Lava Giant was bewildered by the explosions, each dealing a great deal of damage to it.
The damage caused by the Skeletal Mages' skills wasn't weak either. But compared to the damage from Corpse Explosion, it was lacking.
The Lava Giant let out a shocking roar, fear filling its eye.
If things continued like this, it would die. But it couldn't stop.
Skill: Volcano Eruption!
Skill: Death Firewire!
Skill: Lava Jet!
The Lava Giant used its three signature skills at the same time, and the earth shook, flames filled the sky, and lava washed over the ground.
Lin Moyu remained calm and collected.
The skeletons, feeling neither pain nor fear, just continued with their work.
By the time all the corpses have detonated, the Lava Giant was already at its last breath. The lava on its body had been blown away, revealing its dark rocky body.
At this time, the Skeletal Warriors had already rushed to in front of it and unleashed their skill, giving it the coup de grâce.
[Killed Lava Giant, EXP +3,800,000]
[Obtained Lava Bow]
[Obtained Fire Crystal Fragment]
[Lava Bow: gold rank weapon, all attributes +400, agility +300, increases the power of Archer-type skills by 45%, increases the power of fire-type Archer skills by an additional 15%]
[Fire Crystal Fragment: three Fire Crystal Fragments can be fused into a Fire Crystal]
Lin Moyu took a deep breath. His prediction had come true. None of the skeletons died, and their injuries weren't serious.
At this rate, it was entirely possible to summon another batch of skeletons and raid the dungeon again, while this batch could recuperate in the summon space.
With two batches taking turns, unless his stamina couldn't keep up, Lin Moyu wouldn't need to take breaks.
In this way, efficiency could be greatly improved. Even though he had to raid the dungeon a dozen-plus times, a few days would suffice.
Having obtained another Fire Crystal Fragment, Lin Moyu was satisfied and exited the dungeon.
In the Dungeon Hall, the bell rang three times. Three loud bell tolls meant that a new record was set for a dungeon.
But surprisingly, the people outside were not in a hurry this time, and some even looked like they had expected it.
Although they had guessed us much, they still wanted to take a look. A bunch of people walked into the Dungeon Hall to check it.
Baili Sheng, who was discussing tactics outside the Dungeon Hall, furrowed his eyebrows, "Who set a new record? Go take a look."
One of his underlings promptly ran into the Dungeon Hall. After a while, the person ran back, an incredulous look on his face, "Young Dean, it's Lin Moyu. He was the one who set a new record."
What! Baili Sheng jumped up in surprise.
Didn't Lin Moyu just enter the dungeon not long ago? How could he possibly have set a new record? Did he perhaps withdraw from the Fire God's Palace Hall dungeon and went to another dungeon with a lower difficulty?
Baili Sheng, unable to believe it, ran into the Dungeon Hall in person...
At this time, there was a crowd in front of the Fire God's Palace Hall dungeon, each person filled with admiration.
"I knew it. Boss Lin was bound to set a new record on his second entry into the dungeon."
"Yeah, the second record is something that no one can make a dent into."
"Not necessarily. Maybe Boss Lin will break his record on his third or fourth try."
"That's right. The only one who can break this record is Boss Lin himself. Everyone else needn't even try."
Baili Sheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. It was not a pleasant feeling. He hadn't expected Lin Moyu to actually set a new record in the Fire God's Palace Hall.
The Fire God's Palace Hall dungeon, that even their party of 12 could not clear, Lin Moyu cleared it by himself, and in such a short time.
Was the gap really that large?
The constant praise and admiration for Lin Moyu from the people around him became increasingly unpleasant and unbearable.
Baili Sheng's face gradually became ferocious. He couldn't accept this result.
The new record Lin Moyu created shone brightly above the dungeon: 1 hour, 12 minutes, 34 seconds. That was an extremely terrifying result, an unbreakable record.
The nightmare rank record, that stood for five years, was more than eight hours. Lin Moyu now set the new record, at hell rank difficulty, 1 hour and 12 minutes. The divide between the two was like an unsurmountable chasm.
This was also a testament to how high Lin Moyu's actual combat power was. It wasn't something that could be estimated based on level.
At this time, the dungeon vortex flashed, and Lin Moyu appeared outside the dungeon. But the next moment, the dungeon vortex flashed once more. Lin Moyu entered the dungeon again.
He reset the cooldown period and continued to grind. He had to raid the dungeon at least fifteen times to collect the three Fire Crystal Fragments.
"He just came out, yet he already went in. Boss Lin is really diligent."
"To grind by himself, isn't he tired? He won't even take a break?"
"Maybe that's where the difference between Boss Lin and us lies."
"I remember that Boss Lin was like this before, carrying people through the Tyrant Desert dungeon, grinding without rest."
"Anyway, if there are any dungeon missions you can't clear in the future, you can try to find Boss Lin. There's no dungeon he can't clear."
...
All the discussions revolved around Lin Moyu, all praising him.
Baili Sheng didn't want to hear anymore. Walking out of the Dungeon Hall, he felt a sense of disheartenment. His confidence took a serious blow. He couldn't recover momentarily.
Full of confidence, he led a complete party of 12 over, fully prepared, ready to set a new dungeon record. But halfway through, he was forced to back down, his aspirations ending in failure. Lin Moyu put him in his place without effort.
This silent comparison was even more uncomfortable than a direct slap in the face. He had a knot of frustration lodged firmly in his chest, unable to release it.
Baili Sheng sighed in frustration, "Let's go back."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for his underlings, he directly activated a Teleportation Stone and left the Dungeon Hall.
