Chaos Dream Ring
"Roar~~~"
The Spinal Butcher roared, then suddenly flipped over, moving along its six whip-like tentacles along its back. Its arms suddenly opened in a grabbing motion, while its chest cavity opened into a four-lobed mouthpart, inside which a rotating bone saw roared and whirred, a truly terrifying sight.
This set of hunting moves is the signature move of the Spinal Butcher. It's fast, and once you're caught, it's very difficult to escape. As a result, many players have died from this move in past battles!
"Boom!"
Amidst the surging air currents, the moment my opponent's barbed arms retracted, I suddenly took a Step Slash and slashed sideways, instantly widening the distance to about five yards. Immediately afterward, I activated Tian Gong Kai Wu, Overpowering Momentum, and Battle Roar simultaneously, and launched Explosive Charge the instant my opponent turned around!
With a strong push-back sensation, the body passed through the opponent's body, completing the impact and stunning them.
Turning around, he swung his Power Sword horizontally, delivering a combo of basic attack + Consecutive Slashes + basic attack + Dragon Blade + basic attack to the opponent's throat. Blood splattered everywhere with a "plop plop plop" sound, Spinal Butcher screamed in agony!
Amidst the splatter of blood, a series of debuffs appeared above the opponent's head, amounting to a considerable amount.
However, it did not inflict excessive damage such as "Crippling Blow" because the Spinal Butcher's body had evolved to be much thicker, with its neck and chest cavity connected together, and its diameter was at least two meters. It was impossible to complete the decapitation with Power Sword with a blade length of only 0.8 meters.
"Roar--"
The Spinal Butcher roared, and its six whip-like tentacles shot out like lightning, whistling through the air!
Without saying a word, I immediately activated Annihilation Rock Armor and Stardust Wall simultaneously!
The next second, all six whip-like tentacles struck the Stardust Wall, instantly shattering two of the four Stardust Wall fragments. As expected of an SS-rank skill, it could withstand an attack like the Spinal Butcher's twice!
My heart leaped with excitement. I stood up abruptly, and in the instant the creature swiftly retracted its tentacles, I leaped into the air using the arm covered in keratin and mucus, landing directly in front of its face!
"Roar~~~"
Behind the thick layer of keratin, the Spinal Butcher's scarlet eyes looked over, and surprisingly, a hint of fear shone through them.
"Go to hell!"
The sword light swept down, directly hitting the keratinous layer on its face with a combo of basic attack + Ash Sweep + basic attack + Bloodthirsty Assault + basic attack. Instantly, the "mask" that the Spinal Butcher used to protect its head was cut open from the front and slowly peeled off with slime.
That's disgusting!
With a roar, it raised its front paws and slammed them down. I stepped on its bulky shoulders and swept behind it, while simultaneously grabbing the edge of the cut on its keratin layer with my Left Hand and tearing it backward. With a hissing sound, the keratin layer on the back of its head was torn open, covered in dense mucus, and in the blink of an eye, a bulky, fragile head appeared before my eyes!
"Go up!"
With a single strike, combining a normal slash with Rising Dragon Slash, he sent the opponent soaring into the sky.
"Clang~"
He instantly switched his primary weapon to the UZI, aimed at the opponent's head, and pulled the trigger. Immediately, amidst the "rat-a-tat-tat" sound, a dense barrage of damage numbers leaped up from above the Spinal Butcher's head!
1872!!
"1921!"
4004!
"8178!"
"1897!"
Although the UZI's firepower is average, its rate of fire is fast, and once a critical hit is triggered, the damage becomes quite terrifying. It empties its magazine in 2.4 seconds, and 60 bullets almost instantly reduce the Spinal Butcher's health by about 170,000!
That was awesome!
"Roar~~~"
After suffering such heavy damage, the Spinal Butcher roared and flipped over again, its six tentacles shooting out like arrows!
"Buzz!"
A frost rose around the Power Sword, and the next second, the Cold Star Piercing Bone slashed directly at the Spinal Butcher's bloated thigh. The moment the frost solidified, the primary weapon switched to the Explosive Gun, and aimed at the butcher's unarmored head, unleashing a barrage of precise Headshot!
Blood, flesh, and brains splattered everywhere; the scene was so beautiful it defied description.
In fact, my combat strength is no longer afraid of alien species like the Spinal Butcher. When the opponent charged again, I used a Dragon Binding Rope to bind it in place. I switched between two guns, retreating and shooting in the wilderness, quickly whittling down the opponent's health bar.
Unfortunately, the opponent's six whip tails were too fast, coming and going quickly. Moreover, this Spinal Butcher was very clever and never used those mutated tentacles to fight me head-on, for fear of being cut off by the Power Sword!
However, this did not change anything. A few minutes later, the opponent's massive 5 million was reduced to low health by my attrition!
The lights in the distance are getting closer and closer, and I can even hear the sound of helicopters flying by. We must finish this quickly!
"Boom!"
Finishing with Explosive Charge, a combo that swept through the Overpowering Momentum emptied the Spinal Butcher's last health bar, and then a series of ringing sounds filled the air—
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Spinal Butcher (Orange BOSS) and obtained the item: 1 BOSS Ability Crystal!]
[Battle Notification: You have defeated the "Spinal Butcher" (Orange BOSS), gaining 3,200,000 character experience points. You also gained 1,600,000 Experience Points through extraction at the Essence Furnace!]
[Congratulations! You are the first player on the server to solo kill Orange BOSS. Rewards: Achievement +3, Charm Value +1!]
"Oh?"
A slight chill ran through me. This was the first time I'd soloed the Orange BOSS after it'd been on the stage for so long? Not bad... 3 achievement points, 1 charisma point—all for free.
Without hesitation, he quickly opened the orange- Ability Crystal he had just obtained. If there was anything usable, he could equip it now and increase his chances of winning the breakout battle later!
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Chaos Dream Ring] (Quality: Orange)!]
An orange ring?!
My heart leaped with joy, and I hurriedly opened my Dimensional Storage Space to investigate. Sure enough, I saw a uniquely shaped ring, wreathed in orange light, lying in the corner of the storage space. My gaze lingered on it briefly, and its attributes floated out—
[Chaos Dream Ring] (Quality: Orange)
Rank: Fourth Tier
Strength: +40
Agility: +38
Blessing: Critical Hit Chance +6%
Blessing: Lifesteal +6%
Specialty: Attack damage +10%
Blessing: Mighty Strength - II, increases attack power by 280 points.
Burst Skill: [Chaos Dream], draws upon the subspace power stored within the ring, plunging the target into Chaos Dream. This effect lasts for 10-15 seconds. Taking damage will dispel the dream. Consumes 20 Essence Points, 5-minute cooldown.
Strength required: 700
Requires Agility: 350
'Holy shit...'
The moment I saw the ring's attributes, I was stunned. Wow, that's awesome!
This is a ring with four attributes: critical strike, life steal, increased damage, and immense strength. It is already an extremely rare item, but the critical strike and life steal values are both maxed out, making it even more precious!
In addition, there is a Burst Skill that only consumes 20 Essence Points. This Chaos Dream is a sleep skill, which is quite useful in both PvP and boss battles.
For example, when surrounded by 2-3 opponents, you can use this Burst Skill to put one of them to sleep, freeing up your hands to deal with the other two before focusing on the boss. It's also quite useful when fighting bosses, as you can put the boss to sleep and create distance for ranged attacks. How you use it depends on your individual needs.
Quite good!
I took a deep breath and then glanced at the two rings on my body. The Ring of Frostblight was a super damage-dealing ring, and I was reluctant to exchange it, but the Primal Flame Ring was an invincibility ring, so I couldn't exchange it!
In the end, I reluctantly decided to retire the Ring of Frostblight!
"Snap!"
The moment the Chaos Dream Ring is equipped, an icon appears in the Burst Skill section, giving off a sense of security.
As for the Ring of Frostblight, you can sell it or trade it to Fatty or Ruolin. At least the 4% critical strike chance is still very useful, as it can boost your shooting. It's just a pity that in Star Abyss, there are only two lifesteal attributes: "Life Steal" and "Psionic Lifesteal," and there is no such thing as "Ranged Lifesteal."
Thinking about it Gatling, it does make sense. If a Firepower Specialist were to be constantly firing at a group of enemies while green "vampire" numbers kept appearing on his forehead, the scene would be far too bizarre.
At that moment, the cacophony of mechanical noise pulled me back to reality.
Many helicopters appeared in the sky above the wasteland, and giant figures sped by, their heavy footsteps pounding the ground like an earthquake, the tremors reaching directly to their feet!
Avenger Mech!
I looked as far as I could see, and there were at least 12 Avenger Mech in my field of vision!
Good heavens, Dark Tide really thinks highly of me. Back when the Gray Bug Regiment attacked a big city like Creek City, they only used 2-3 Avenger Mech. Now, they've used more than ten to hunt me down. They've really given me a lot of face!
"Go to hell, you think so highly of me?"
I frowned, looking around for weaknesses in the enemy's encirclement. If all else failed, I would just use the Phase Teleportation Core. But I was a little reluctant, and this S-rank mission wasn't over yet. I felt unwilling to leave now!
"033, you traitor! We've laid Heavenly Net, there's no way you can escape this time!"
From afar, a sharp voice rang out. It belonged to a Psionic Officer from the Dark Tide, whose face was practically overflowing with hyaluronic acid. Psychic energy appeared beneath her feet, allowing her to briefly levitate and float down from the helicopter.
"Come on, feel the embrace of death!"
She opened her arms, and wisps of purple spiritual energy gathered around her.
This is a purple- Psionic Officer. He's very strong and has a lot of health, but I still want to try and see if I can kill him!
"Boom!"
A burst of Yuan Power erupted from his body, and in an instant, his body transformed into a blur, piercing through his opponent's body. He still started with the Tian Gong Kai Wu, Overpowering Momentum, and Battle Roar, and turned around to unleash a series of combos, "poof poof poof," slashing towards her neck. However, a wisp of purple spiritual energy, like a ring-shaped ribbon, blocked the Power Sword, only able to deal damage but unable to instantly decapitate her!
"You bastard, you want to kill me?!" Her face contorted with rage.
Fuck you!
With a low shout, I launched her into the air with Rising Dragon Slash, followed by several consecutive slashes to stack damage. As she fell to the ground, I followed up with a Cold Star Piercing Bone, and then unleashed all my high-damage skills, such as Ash Sweep and Bloodthirsty Assault!
"Sizzle~~~"
Finally, with a soft sound, the psionic energy she used to resist the Power Sword's force field was utterly severed. The next second, a sword light flashed past, and a head flew through the air!
Level 45 Purple BOSS, killed instantly!
"033, you beast, you dare to kill someone?!"
In the distance, a group of Psionic Officer swept over, their faces contorted in extreme grotesqueness.
Without looking back, I headed straight for the darkest direction, twisted my body, and entered a state of Bio-Optical Invisibility, which lasted for 18 seconds. The next moment, I disappeared into the forest!
Just then, the star map suddenly started flashing, and a female player's voice came from within. "Ding Han, I am Wu Yuyu from Dark Tide Wu Yu Yu Yu. Can you lend me a hand and help me escape this hellhole?"
