"If it weren't for you, I might have had to put in some effort to deal with him."
Yang Tao wasn't exaggerating; the Lich's strength was indeed good, but he didn't have ranged immunity and his health wasn't as abnormal as the Hydra's.
Although he had more tricks, he could still handle it.
It was just that he might accidentally die once or twice, and he had already made up his mind to try again after the tower refreshed and reset.
Blue Knight looked at the Lich's gradually dissipating body and said, "A good opponent. He reminds me of some past memories. Although they are not wizards, they also possess profound knowledge and this attitude as if they can control the situation."
"To be honest, if his power were equal to mine, I really wouldn't be confident in defeating him."
When Yang Tao heard Blue Knight's words and saw his health cap rise again, he was speechless.
'You're recalling memories, but why is it like a Japanese anime where you level up every time you recall something?'
"According to his background, he was once one of the top powerhouses in this world, so his strength is naturally beyond doubt."
To have so many followers, even if the world was digitized, they could still be left behind. It was clear that this group of knights also had their merits.
"Is that so?"
Blue Knight suddenly fell silent, no longer speaking, while Yang Tao walked towards the loot chest in the middle.
As he predicted, inside the chest was a set of scepters, but their attributes were the same as ordinary scepters.
Besides that, there were some miscellaneous accessories, enchanted books, and a new tower.
"So, if I can't reach this floor, I don't even have a chance to open a new tower, right?"
When he obtained the mod, he automatically received a placable tower, but after placing it in Twilight Forest, the tower was consumed.
Yang Tao put the tower into his backpack, planning to go to a simple world to place the tower, which would allow him to easily obtain some loot.
He used a new Life Crystal he got from the chest.
Yang Tao looked at the pensive Blue Knight and asked, "Are we still going up?"
"Up."
Brief and to the point, the two walked up again. Ordinary monsters had no way to stop their progress, and one Twilight monster after another fell at Yang Tao's feet.
It only took half an hour.
The two arrived at the twentieth floor of the tower. Looking at the constantly radiating cold from the stairs, Yang Tao showed a smile and said, "Another familiar face, Ice Queen, the final Boss of this world."
According to Ice Queen, there were no other creatures left in the Castle of the End, so Ice Queen was already the last Boss of Twilight.
Giants on the cloud top?
Isn't that just a matter of having a bow?
"Queen? Is she a lady?"
Blue Knight's words made Yang Tao pause his ascent. He turned his head, looked at the Blue Knight armor, and asked, "You're not going to tell me you don't fight women, are you?"
"That's not it, but if the opponent poses no threat to me, I generally won't make a move."
Yang Tao: "…"
Are they all so gentlemanly?
"Lancelot, regardless of gender or age, only by treating everyone equally is true chivalry!"
"When she stands before you, she is your enemy. Only by going all out is a show of respect for your opponent."
Blue Knight felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint it.
Upon reaching the twentieth floor.
The environment inside the tower had changed. The ordinary cobblestone was now replaced by ice, and even transparent snowflakes were falling from the ceiling.
Ice Queen was playing with the ice crystals next to her.
Ice crystals are summoned by the Boss Ice Queen and will slowly approach enemies and attack.
Upon death, they drop some snowballs.
The ice crystals looked somewhat like crystal ore; they had no specific shape but were constantly changing.
"We meet again, your Majesty."
Yang Tao greeted her very politely, but his hand was already on the hilt of the Yamato.
Ice Queen turned to look at him, a faint smile appearing on her face as she said, "You're still so impatient."
"Mainly, besides chatting and fighting with you… it seems there's nothing else to do."
Ice Queen heard Yang Tao's slightly teasing words, and her smile froze on her face. She used to be a princess, then became a queen, and no man had ever dared to tease her like this.
"Alright, although I still wanted to chat, since you want to start, then, come on."
Yang Tao smiled, drew out the Yamato, and said, "Today I brought a friend to look around. When I come alone another time, we can chat more."
"Mm."
Ice Queen glanced at Blue Knight, then a large number of ice blocks appeared beside her, supporting her body as she floated up, and she softly asked:
"Are you ready?"
"Ready, come on…"
As soon as Yang Tao's words fell, two empty missiles flew out from the black transformation cube.
Boom… Boom…
Buzz…
The Vulcan cannon's barrel rotated, emitting an exhilarating sound.
Tutututu…
Those suddenly appearing ice crystals were instantly devoured by the Vulcan's ammunition.
The Ice Queen, flying in the air, took two missile hits. Her appearance showed no change. She merely waved her hand, and the snowflakes within the tower space instantly intensified.
[Freeze III: 00:05]
[Slowness II: 00:05]
Although the accessories reduced the effect duration to five seconds, the duration was constantly refreshing.
The Slow and Freeze effects could work simultaneously.
Yang Tao only felt that everything around him had sped up considerably, but he was now transformed into Starscream, and his main strategy was to stand and fight.
Whoosh~
Two more missiles flew out, and at the same time, the Vulcan cannon aimed at Ice Queen's body. Although most of the attacks were blocked by the continuously rotating solid ice, some lucky ones passed through the gaps in the frost and landed on Ice Queen's body.
Ice Queen's health bar above her head visibly decreased.
Just then, a piece of solid ice, at least five meters in diameter, pierced through the ceiling and slammed heavily onto Yang Tao, dealing over two hundred damage.
This damage…
Heh heh.
Before Yang Tao could even manage a sneer, a faint mist appeared out of nowhere, permeating the air.
-18
-18
-18
…
A damage number would pop up every 0.5 seconds on average.
'Alright, alright, so this is how you want to play, right? Ice Spray changed to full-screen damage, right…'
Yang Tao immediately canceled his Starscream transformation, and black mushrooms with human faces appeared on the ice blocks.
After appearing, the black mushrooms began to rapidly expand, and the angry, defiant expressions on them became even more resentful.
Boom…
Boom…
Boom…
Small mushroom clouds appeared within the tower space.
The Ice Queen, who had been flying in the air, spun and fell, and the once flat icy ground was now pitted and uneven…
Looking at Ice Queen's gradually disappearing figure, along with the treasure chest that appeared in the center of the tower, Yang Tao revealed a smile and said, "Since you all opened yours, wouldn't it be unsociable if I didn't open mine?"
It was just a pity for so many Doomshrooms.
He had planned to save these for the beasts. It seemed he would have to take time to cultivate some in the 'Zen Garden'.
