For a long time, there was an issue with translation.
The Ur-Ghast was often called the Twilight Ghast, and it gradually became a classic misnomer.
Among players' word-of-mouth, it came to have two names.
Whatever it was called, when this massive, terrifying creature appeared...
Flying between heaven and earth, it looked like a normal Ghast, but was far larger.
Two blood-red tentacles grew from each side of its square body, which was covered in bloodstains with decaying flesh faintly visible within.
Most striking were the two deep tear tracks on its cheeks.
When it opened its eyes, the blood-red pupils were like a demon's gaze—eyes from hell.
"This boss looks so scary!"
"It's way more terrifying than the Ghasts in the Nether!"
"Blood-red tentacles? When did the block world become a horror game!"
"It's huge, too. It doesn't seem smaller than the Hydra!"
"Most importantly, it's flying in the sky. Getting close feels like a mountain is flying at you!"
"Wait, it's flying. Has Galen Yu made a ranged weapon yet?"
"You can't kill a Ghast without a ranged weapon!"
"Hahaha, this time our Freedom Nation will come out on top!"
After being frightened by the Ur-Ghast's terrifying appearance, they regained their senses.
The audience from the Freedom Nation showed joy.
So far, aside from Kira Oakmoor fighting the Lich and dropping the Twilight Scepter as a ranged attack method...
Everyone else, including Galen Yu, only Mark possessed a bow and arrows!
Since it was flying in the sky and couldn't be hit with melee weapons, this could very well be the point where they overtake him!
"Fries, aren't you worried about Galen Yu?"
Headmaster Quill asked.
"Is he stuck at a bottleneck? Ranged weapons like bows are indeed difficult to craft, aren't they!"
Often, a ranged weapon can solve many troubles.
But Fries didn't think so.
"Why worry about Galen Yu? I don't think it's because bows are hard to make, but rather... he's too lazy to use them?"
The advantage of a bow lies in long-range attrition, but its damage is similar to a sword, and sometimes even less.
As for the height issue...
They quickly thought of it. Headmaster Quill and Fries looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
"That fan!"
The Peacock Feather Fan can make a person fly, allowing them to hit the Ghast.
However, there was still a problem: the Ghast flies all over the place. How could he ensure he could hit it?
Inside the Dark Tower, Galen Yu pulled out the Heavy Mace.
Summoned into existence, the massive silhouette of the Ur-Ghast loomed over the tower, letting out a miserable shriek.
Unlike ordinary Ghasts, its attack pattern was very strange.
It wept loudly, and those teardrops, larger than a person, crashed down, damaging nearby creatures.
Galen Yu was well aware of the Ur-Ghast's strength; it could definitely rank among the top few in the Twilight Forest.
The teardrop damage was extremely high; one mistake and he'd be hit.
He actually almost lost health!
'What a terrifying boss. I must settle this quickly!'
Dressed in his alloy suit, Galen Yu had been waiting by the Ghast Trap blocks for a long time.
There were many ways to defeat the Ur-Ghast. One could fight the Snow Queen first and pick up the Ender Bow to pin its position.
Or use a bow and arrows to slowly wear it down, arrow by arrow.
Galen Yu chose to use the Ghast Trap blocks.
Once activated, Carminite Ghastlings—miniature Ur-Ghasts—would appear.
These smaller spirits, like the guards wandering the tower's perimeter, were accidental products of carminite reactions.
Carminite is crafted using Ghast Tears. When a carminite reactor explodes, the restorative magic within the Ghast Tear is released, restoring the Ghast to its former appearance.
However, due to the massive amount of carminite radiation, they aren't normal Ghasts but mutated ones covered in carminite patterns.
They always spawn in groups within the Dark Towers deep in the Dark Forest, surrounded by redstone particles emitted by the radiation.
There is a rumor that the Ur-Ghast might be the product of hundreds of carminite reactor explosions...
Of course, for Galen Yu, carminite had no practical use and could only serve as decorative blocks.
After the Carminite Ghastlings die, they charge the Ghast Trap, thereby activating it.
Their health wasn't high, and their attacks were fireballs that could be parried. He solved them with a few sword swings and then stepped on the pressure plate.
The Ghast Trap emitted a beam of light. The reaction produced by the carminite would pull the Ur-Ghast toward the ground, where it was firmly held by the trap, unable to move.
At this time, it could be hit with a sword, but Galen Yu had already prepared the Heavy Mace.
"Storm! Peacock Feather Fan!"
His whole body flew up instantly, even coming face-to-face with the Ur-Ghast.
He could see the panic and shock flashing in its blood-red eyes. He swung the mace down.
[—210!]
With the height requirement met and the trap causing the Ur-Ghast to lose all resistance and become incredibly fragile...
He easily broke his historical damage record again!
He landed steadily on the ground. Just as the trap expired and the Ur-Ghast was about to leave...
"Unfortunately, I forgot to tell you that I have three more traps like this."
Stepping on the plate again, he pulled the Ur-Ghast back down with the Storm Heavy Mace.
[FIERY TEARS]
The sixth boss was slain!
Having lost almost no health, Galen Yu regretfully put away the Life Drain Scepter in his backpack.
It was clearly a divine artifact capable of siphoning a monster's hunger and health, but look at it now.
The boss was dead, he hadn't lost health, and the divine artifact didn't even get a chance to be used!
Witnessing the death of this giant creature that could overshadow the tower, the audience was filled with daze.
"The Heavy Mace again! Another one-shot!"
"No, how did you fly higher than the Ghast?"
"I thought the Ur-Ghast was supposed to be strong, tougher than the Hydra?"
"It feels weaker than the Naga? Oh, wait, the Hydra was also one-shot!"
"I suggest the Freedom Nation stop trying. You can't catch up."
"They're struggling just to fight a Minoshroom, and they want to compete with the Great God Galen Yu?"
"He's about to clear it. I'm really curious what the special prize will be!"
No matter how strong the monster, all are equal under the Peacock Feather Fan and Heavy Mace!
No opponent could withstand a single blow!
Despite this, some other viewers still held onto their opinions.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I go to church to pray every day. God will surely bless us!"
"Mark is about to clear the Minotaur Labyrinth. His progress is catching up soon!"
"Ronan Mountwell even found a hidden boss. It's not certain who will get the better reward!"
"Carrying the name of the Naga Serpent God, Kapil must win!"
Seeing these comments, the audience of the Nine Provinces remained silent, but the air outside the screens was filled with cheerful laughter.
Just two more, and he could clear the Twilight Forest!
If they think it's impossible, just keep one-shotting them!
Use reality to shatter their last bit of illusion!
At the same time, they were looking forward to the first clear.
The Blood Moon rewards raised the strength of the entire Nine Provinces, giving everyone a chance to possess Steve's power. What about the Twilight Forest?
Galen Yu was also looking forward to it.
He picked up the drops: the trophy and Fiery Tears.
This stuff was similar to Hydra Blood; both could be used to make Fiery weapons and armor sets.
Counting that he had enough, Galen Yu took out the crafting table and added iron ingots to synthesize.
A set of bright, beautiful Fiery armor, glowing with a scarlet hue, was quickly produced.
Putting it on, Galen Yu could finally look toward the final region of the Twilight Forest.
"The Snowy Forest, the Alpha Yeti and the Snow Queen!"
