The Dark Blood Skeleton had nowhere to escape Chen Tian's attacks. Chen Tian used his speed advantage to continuously harass and strike, while the boss's health steadily declined.
Soon, it was reduced by a third.
Chen Tian's figure was like a phantom, appearing everywhere and nowhere, impossible to grasp or see. Before the Dark Blood Skeleton, the bone spikes shot from his twin guns passed through Chen Tian's form—they were mere afterimages.
"Such terrifying speed! Did he comprehend this skill himself? It's incredibly potent!"
"What's his speed stat? This is just too fast!"
"So scary! How can a dual-wielding assassin have such fearsome speed and evasion?"
Those watching from the sidelines were sweating profusely, utterly stunned. Thankfully, Deen and Ailarya were allies, not enemies. This player, who appeared to be only level twenty, possessed skill and execution far beyond his level, even his learned skills were top-tier. Who exactly was this person?
Everyone was deeply shocked. Yet, this was only a fraction of Wang Xuan's true strength. If they knew Chen Tian had yet to use his Dark Night Asura class skills, would they be even more astounded?
Of course, Chen Tian had no intention of revealing his other abilities. Besides, in this situation, the boss could be slowly worn down. There was no need to expose too much.
In the game Epoch of Time, there were ninety-nine tiers of worlds. With each ascending level, the players' cultivation would rise. Chen Tian clearly intended to conserve his strength and avoid revealing too much.
He was a Cold Walker, destined to face the world's crisis alone. Even when forming a party, he would only seek trustworthy teammates.
Chen Tian remained vigilant. Suddenly, the Dark Blood Skeleton's hollow black eyes turned blood red.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
A massive roar echoed throughout the cave. Leiya exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! How can it enrage? Its health is nowhere near 5%!"
"Health isn't the only condition."
Sen Sha stated calmly. Leiya pondered for a moment, "You mean a combo of five hundred? Gods, a combo of five hundred! Is that even humanly possible?"
"Roar! Roar! Roar~"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Rumble! Rumble!"
The cave floor trembled and shook as countless tombstones silently emerged. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Did the blood-red tombstones summon something?
"Boom!"
Giant hands emerged from the tombstones. All the tombstones sprouted hands and feet, and a blood-red aura stained the entire cave.
Chen Tian looked at the Dark Blood Skeleton before him with a placid expression. A combo of five hundred was well within his calculations. With his current evasion and speed, he could even achieve seven hundred.
It was a shame his skills were still on cooldown. Creatures in this enraged state could be dealt with.
"The boss has enraged and summoned Tombstone Undead, leave them to us!"
Chen Tian shouted. Lei Xue, Lei Ya, and the other four quickly prepared for battle. They weren't as monstrous as Chen Tian, but they could handle smaller monsters.
Hundreds, even thousands, of Tombstone Undead floated in the air like specters, charging towards the group.
Their method of attack was collision; Tombstone Undead dealt damage upon impact.
Moreover, there were hundreds, thousands of them. At this moment, the Dark Blood Skeleton's blood-red eyes were fixed on Chen Tian.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Bone spikes were continuously fired from its twin guns, aiming upwards.
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Countless bone spikes rained down like a deluge, instantly causing Chen Tian's expression to turn grave.
It was an AoE skill, a range-based attack. Chen Tian observed the bone spikes descending like a storm, pushing his speed to its absolute limit. In any game, there were range skills, single-target skills, and support skills. The Dark Blood Skeleton's current attack pattern was clearly a range skill.
Chen Tian found himself at the very center of the bone spike barrage, his skills still slightly off cooldown. He could only endure it head-on.
"I can only hope the Dark Nether Asura Armor can withstand it!"
Chen Tian said with concern, then felt a flicker of confusion. The previous information had no description of this skill. Why was it appearing now, and with such a clear intent to target him?
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Innumerable bone spikes struck the armor like rain on steel. The Dark Nether Asura Armor on Chen Tian's body glowed with a dark, night-like radiance, as if woven from the night itself.
The countless bone spikes striking the armor dealt no damage to Chen Tian.
Epoch of Time, the hundredth floor, the highest tier. Here, ten great deities jointly governed the game's world and rules.
"This little fellow, I recall the setting didn't include a 'Cold Walker' mode."
"I remember that too. Also, his profession clearly doesn't match his stats. Where did things go wrong?"
"This person is starting to resemble a game bug. We absolutely cannot let him clear bosses so easily, or where does the authority of us game administrators lie?"
"But I'm curious, a mode that shouldn't exist, a profession option that isn't there, nothing set in the chip. How did he choose it? What went wrong?"
"Sigh! Who cares? Just report it to the higher-ups. Chip issues are not our concern. We just hope this move will make this player retreat."
"Holy crap! Isn't that the hidden profession Dark Night Asura's armor?"
"This... did he solo the Dark Night Asura?"
"Can we stop this?"
"We can't. No need to interfere. Consider this boss gifted to him."
...........
The ten individuals were speechless. Chen Tian was like a game bug, his profession and stats mismatched. Furthermore, they had never heard of this "Cold Walker" mode and had no solution. However, they couldn't simply gift this boss to him, allowing him to grow. Thus, they had conspired to add a skill, specifically targeting Chen Tian's speed.
Inside the cave, countless bone spikes hammered against Chen Tian's armor. As the bone spikes shattered into fragments, Chen Tian emerged unharmed before the Dark Blood Skeleton.
"Ding! Dark Nether Asura Armor damage: 10%"
Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged as he heard the electronic chime in his mind. In Epoch of Time, weapons had durability, and armor had a damage percentage. The higher the damage percentage, the greater the stat loss. Ten percent was not much for the Dark Nether Asura Armor, not to mention that armor and weapons could be repaired with money.
Chen Tian's eyes turned sharp. His speed surged once more. The skill cooldown had long since ended.
Dozens of blades shot out from Chen Tian's twin swords, followed by intersecting blades. Chen Tian himself began to spin rapidly, gripping his twin swords.
A sky full of blades was continuously unleashed. Simultaneously, his twin swords merged into the phantom image of a colossal greatsword.
The blood-red greatsword phantom slowly descended.
It was like an Asura descending, darkness enveloping, blood-red filling the sky.
"Bang!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The colossal greatsword phantom and countless blades struck the Dark Blood Skeleton, instantly depleting its health.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Numerous Tombstone Undead exploded.
"Ding! Congratulations to players Lei Xue, Lei Ya, Sen Sha, Rosia, Deen, and Ailarya for completing the quest. All players have received quest rewards and boss rewards."
"Ding! Congratulations player for gaining three thousand experience."
"Ding! Congratulations player for obtaining one Silver Thread."
"Ding! Congratulations player for obtaining the weapon Bone Spike Twin Guns."
"Ding! Congratulations player for leveling up, currently level twenty-one!"
"Ding! Congratulations player for gaining 50 attribute points."
"Ding! Congratulations player for obtaining the talent: Torso Reinforcement."
Electronic chimes echoed in Chen Tian's mind. In Epoch of Time, all rewards were settled individually. Unless publicly declared, no one knew what rewards you received, even in a party.
