Relying on the effect of the B-grade magic scroll [Soul Imprisonment] that Lin Mo had used on him still being active, Wang Junjie died and revived, revived and died.
In just ten seconds, as the Dark Ruler continuously released ten shadow auras, he ended up dying ten times.
But in the end, he still stood back up like an unkillable cockroach.
Turning around and seeing hundreds upon thousands of beams of white light shooting into the sky behind him, at least more than one-third of the players in the entire Shadow City, along with a large number of NPC soldiers, had been instantly killed.
Centered on the BOSS Dark Ruler, everything within at least a 500-yard radius had been flattened into barren ground, not a blade of grass left.
Wang Junjie was first completely stunned.
"WCNM!"
"What the hell kind of skill is this?"
He glanced back at the Dark Ruler and said in disbelief, "What the hell did you just cast? A forbidden spell?"
But in just a moment, the shock in Wang Junjie's heart was replaced by a surge of excitement.
Even though many of his own Chaotic World Guild members were among those wiped out in the crowd behind, he didn't care at all. Instead, he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, "Hahaha! But it's strong! I like it!"
"Rulebound! Thanks to your magic scroll, I can't even die if I want to!"
"This feels great! Rulebound, Liuli, once you all get killed by the BOSS, this 1-HP BOSS will be mine hahaha!"
Just as his laughter ended, Wang Junjie suddenly saw: in the smoke-filled ruins of death ahead, three figures were standing tall.
Wang Junjie rubbed his eyes.
Looking closely, his face changed drastically in shock.
Soul Archer · Rulebound!
Elemental Mage · Liuli!
Black Gold · Strong-Maned Pig!
"Damn!"
The smile on Wang Junjie's face froze instantly, replaced by a terrified expression like he had seen a ghost.
"You can survive that?"
"System! Where's the GM? Get the hell out here!"
"Open your damn eyes and look! If those two aren't cheating, I'll eat ten pounds of shit!"
Wang Junjie didn't notice at all that the golden protective barrier surrounding Lin Mo and Ning Xi had disappeared.
And in fact, it was exactly that golden barrier that had saved Lin Mo and Ning Xi from certain death.
As the Dark Ruler finished unleashing its bloodline skill, its brief invincible state also disappeared.
Ning Xi seized the moment, quickly waving her staff. With a "boom," a fireball landed on the Dark Ruler, clearing the last sliver of HP above its head and ending its life.
"This king… how could I… die at the hands of you mere humans…"
"No! Impossible!"
"The Shadow race… will never perish…"
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud crash, the Dark Ruler's massive body collapsed to its knees like a mountain falling.
The flames on its body also dissipated completely.
In an instant, it turned into a lifeless, cold corpse.
At the same time, a pleasant system notification rang in Lin Mo's ears:
[Ding ~ Congratulations on participating in the kill of Level 50 Tier 5 BOSS Dark Ruler · Riga! Rewards obtained: EXP +42,000,000 (Contribution 90% + Level gap 20% + Berserk 30%)! Reputation +520 (Berserk +30%)! Divine Artifact Nirvana Luck Value +1%!]
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The massive amount of EXP caused three streaks of golden light to fall over Lin Mo's head in succession.
[Ding ~ Congratulations on reaching Level 46…]
[Ding ~ Congratulations on reaching Level 47…]
[Ding ~ Congratulations on reaching Level 48! All attributes +1, free attribute points +3, skill slot +1. Next level requires 25,000,000 EXP!]
It wasn't just Lin Mo, because Ning Xi's level was lower to begin with, and she also got an additional 30% bonus for landing the final blow on the BOSS, her level increase was even more exaggerated, she leveled up 5 times in a row, instantly jumping from Level 37 to Level 42.
This made it impossible not to be shocked: the value of a Tier 5 berserk-state BOSS was simply terrifying.
At this moment, after killing the BOSS, Ning Xi immediately activated her SSS-grade talent Nine-Five Supreme.
[Ding ~ You used the talent Nine-Five Supreme on Dark Ruler · Riga, consuming 134,852 reputation. The target's death drops have triggered a tenfold reward multiplier!]
The next moment.
Clatter! Clatter!
Countless golden spoils rolled down from the Dark Ruler's corpse, making even Wang Junjie's eyes shine with greed.
"Holy shit!"
"This BOSS dropped so much stuff!"
"Hurry up and pick it up! We can't let Rulebound take it!"
As he spoke, relying on being close to the BOSS, Wang Junjie reached out to grab the drops.
However, before he could touch anything—
Puchi!
An arrow from behind struck Wang Junjie right in the butt.
And so, Wang Junjie died again.
Doesn't matter, Wang Junjie was already rotten to the core. He didn't care about being any worse.
In the blink of an eye, he revived on the spot again and went to grab the loot.
This time, Lin Mo activated HP lock and used Seven Star Volley.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Seven star arrows, each carrying 0.55 seconds of stun.
This put Wang Junjie into a total of 3.85 seconds of stun.
At this moment, Lin Mo walked to the BOSS and, right in front of Wang Junjie, picked up all the loot that had been multiplied tenfold by Ning Xi's reward boost.
[Ding ~ You picked up Gold Coins +2420!]
[Ding ~ You picked up A-grade Skill Book · Soul Trample +10!]
[Ding ~ You picked up A-grade Pet Skill Book · Shadow Assault +10!]
[Ding ~ You picked up A-grade Magic Scroll · Dark Devour +10!]
[Ding ~ You picked up Level 50 Tier 5 Equipment · Shadow Ring +10!]
[Ding ~ You picked up Level 50 Tier 5 Equipment · Shadow Greatsword +10!]
Lin Mo's backpack, which only had 40 slots, was instantly filled up by just this one BOSS.
Whether it was A-grade skill books, or A-grade magic scrolls, or Tier 5 equipment, all of these were top-tier resources that couldn't be bought even with a fortune at this stage.
Not to mention the 2,420 gold coins alone, at the current official exchange rate of 0.76:1, they were already worth over 18 million RMB.
An unprecedented explosion of loot.
Not an exaggeration.
Lin Mo could clearly feel his blood boiling.
All these days of effort.
At this moment, it finally felt truly worth it.
Even if Lin Mo would have to bear the level-drop penalty from NPC deaths, it was still completely justified.
And after killing this BOSS, what excited Lin Mo the most wasn't just the items it dropped.
There was also the A-grade hidden quest Exterminate the Darkness, which he had transferred to Ning Xi, it had now entered the "Completed" state.
And also the Shadow race's [Race Core] that could be obtained from the Dark Ruler, which could be used to lift the seal on the divine pet White Fox.
At this moment, the Dark Ruler's corpse gradually turned into ashes, drifting into the air.
Only a red blood crystal, beating like a heart, was left on the ground.
Lin Mo picked it up.
[Ding ~ You picked up Shadow Race Core!]
