"Fallen Witch, so this is the final boss of the Hell-level dungeon."
Although only level 15, it boasts 158,000 HP and an average stat of 200.
Just these stats alone are enough to daunt even the most talented professionals.
The withered corpse, bathed in the altar's aura, raised its slender arms, its bony fingers pointing in the direction of the Blood Lord.
Wow!
The purple-black aura of decay condensed into hideous, twisted faces. They let out shrill screams and madly charged towards the Blood Lord.
[Wrathful Spirit Impact: Gather wraiths to unleash a mental shock on the target, causing them to enter a state of confusion.]
[Confusion: Units in this state lose control of their behavior and attack allies and enemies.]
With the howling of ghosts and wolves, the shadowy figures of wraiths pierced the Blood Lord's body, unleashing a powerful mental attack.
Boom!
The Blood Lord's body trembled. Under the Fallen Witch's 220-point mental pressure, he was instantly thrown into a state of confusion.
Its body staggered, and it began to launch indiscriminate attacks against its surroundings. Several nearby Blood Lords were immediately caught in the crossfire, being pelted by a barrage of bullets.
"Confusion?" Gu Chen's face changed slightly, but he remained unfazed.
He immediately pulled out a potion from his personal space and used it.
[Dispel Potion: Dispels all abnormal states upon use and grants 5 seconds of immunity to them.]
This potion cost five thousand yuan. Gu Chen had purchased it on a trading platform before entering the dungeon, intending to use it against the Gray Mist Curse.
However, he later obtained a healing potion from an elite monster and hadn't used it.
Now it had a perfect opportunity to use it.
The confusion was instantly dispelled, and the Blood Lord's expression froze for a moment, but his eyes suddenly regained their brilliance.
Immediately, a chilling murderous intent emanated from those narrow eyes.
It was the Vampire Lord, standing at the pinnacle of the Vampire pyramid. How could its majesty be so desecrated?
The Vampire Lord, regaining consciousness, rushed forward and, without a word, pulled the trigger at the Fallen Witch on the altar, unleashing his skills.
[Fatal Shot]
[Crimson Feast]
The skills connected, dealing frantic damage, yet the Fallen Witch took no damage at all.
Gu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
The Fallen Witch's average stats were over 200, making her the strongest boss yet in terms of damage tolerance. Even so, it wasn't as if she could withstand two of the Vampire Lord's skills without taking any damage.
At that moment, Gu Chen suddenly noticed that the Fallen Witch was radiating a barely perceptible, crystalline white light.
[Damage Transfer]
Gu Chen's expression changed, and he immediately realized the problem.
"Retreat!"
He immediately ordered the Blood Clan Lord, but it was still too late.
A vast purple-black light erupted from the altar, and an aura of decay and decay spread like a whirlwind, sweeping in all directions.
The retreating Blood Clan Lord was swept by the purple light, struck by a heavy blow, and instantly fell to the ground.
With a chilling sound, the Blood Clan Lord's body began to decay, his flesh rapidly rotting and falling to the ground.
[Decadence: Releases the power of death to attack the target, dealing heavy, continuous damage.]
In a single breath, the Blood Clan Lord's health plummeted, losing over 5,000 HP.
Half of its body was already rotten and decayed, and black blood covered its entire body.
Without a word, Gu Chen immediately produced two bottles of health-restoring potions, replenishing over 4,000 HP.
However, this skill dealt continuous damage. Just as the 4,000 HP had been replenished, it lost over 3,000 more within three seconds.
As expected of a Hell-level dungeon boss, its damage was simply explosive. Not only could it redirect incoming damage, but it also possessed such a terrifying damaging skill.
If that skill had landed on him, he'd probably be dead by now.
With this thought in mind, Gu Chen immediately retreated, distancing himself from the battlefield once more.
A summoner's combat style was to control the overall situation, leaving the battle to the summoned beasts. If he died, it would all be over.
"Fuck you! This boss is a pervert!"
From a distance, seeing the Blood Lord's health bar suddenly depleted by a significant amount, Lin Yuan cursed.
"Continuous damage can be this explosive? Are you sure this isn't a bug?"
Lin Qingqing was speechless. "If I were going up there, I'd die two or three times a second."
"No wonder there's never been a clear record of a Hell-level dungeon. How do you beat such a terrifying boss?" Su Ran asked with a frown.
"The question is, how do we defeat such a terrifying boss next?" Wu Ziyi asked, the most pressing question on his mind.
After he finished speaking, the four of them looked at each other in silence.
Gu Chen's strength had been undeniably evident throughout the journey, but facing this final boss, the gap between them became apparent.
For a moment, Lin Yuan frowned, gritted his teeth, and his cheeks bulged.
He no longer cared whether he could successfully clear the Hell-level dungeon.
His gaze fell on Gu Chen, a hint of worry crossing his face.
He wondered if Gu Chen could hold his own. This time, he'd truly met a tough opponent.
Gu Chen also felt the terrifying power of the fallen witch.
Although it was a bit tricky, he remained confident.
It wasn't a big deal.
"Die—"
A chilling voice echoed in the air as the fallen witch slowly descended from the altar. Her presence was filled with the aura of decay, and the energy of death transformed into a purple-black mist surrounding her.
Her body resembled a withered corpse. The hollow in her chest was horrifying, the wounds gruesome, yet there was no trace of blood. Her entire body was gray and lifeless.
It was as if all the blood in her body had disappeared.
Gu Chen frowned slightly at the scene before him, thinking back to the quest item he had obtained earlier.
Clearly, something unknown had occurred in this temple.
This witch had been drained of all her blood, her heart removed, and her body buried within this altar.
Draining blood and ripping out hearts—is this something a temple could do?
Gu Chen wasn't sure, after all, he didn't know the full story.
But this witch must have endured unimaginable pain in her life.
The fallen witch stepped down from the altar with a hollow gaze. Her dark eyes looked around, sweeping across Gu Chen and the Blood Lord in the distance, then towards the Nightmare Overlord battling a group of black-robed deacons.
Then, a fierce resentment erupted from her face.
"You all deserve to die!"
The cold voice resonated through the air, like the screams of thousands of dead souls.
