A Rock-Solid Instance Strategy
"What? The shipment has been completed?"
Cai Cai immediately turned to look at her.
Getting a good item in Star Abyss is extremely rare. So much so that we finally got our first Ability Crystal after more than two hours in the dungeon, which is quite remarkable.
Therefore, the moment of defeating the BOSS and obtaining a 100% guaranteed BO SS-rank Ability Crystal is the most exciting moment for many players. Unfortunately, even BO SS-rank Ability Crystal sometimes only yield some junk like Experience Points and Star Coins.
"Um!"
I nodded, opened the Dimensional Storage Space, took out the Ability Crystal, and opened it!
[Congratulations! Your "Ability Crystal" has been successfully opened, and you have obtained the item: "Modified SMC Submachine Gun" (Quality: Blue)!]
"Me?"
This time, even I was surprised.
A mere elite monster dropped a blue Submachine Gun from its Ability Crystal?
He hurriedly retrieved the new Submachine Gun from his Dimensional Storage Space. It glowed with a blue light, and after a brief glance, its attributes appeared—
[Modified SMC Submachine Gun] (Quality: Blue)
Rank: Tier 2
Base Parameters: Firepower 160-180, Rate of fire 700 rounds/minute, Magazine capacity 40 rounds, Attack range 110 meters
Strength: +20
Weight: 3.3KG
Blessing: Continuous Shooting, attack damage increased by 15% during Continuous Shooting.
Wow, a Tier 2 blue Submachine Gun!
I didn't try to hide it, so Cai Cai, Zhang Ruolin, and others could see it too.
"Damn, what kind of luck is this?"
Cai Cai felt a little unreal, and even began to doubt the meaning of life. "Why don't I have this kind of luck?"
"Call..."
I took a deep breath. This SMC was good, but it was still inferior to my Roarer. It was inferior in terms of firepower, rate of fire, and magazine capacity, so I definitely wouldn't replace it.
"Um, Brother Han..."
Cai Cai is Firepower Specialist and has the highest demand for top-tier Submachine Gun. He's practically obsessed with them, his eyes glued to the SMC as if he were under a spell. Even when I tried to move the SMC left, right, up, or down, his gaze unconsciously followed along.
"Should we consider playing SMC this time, bro...?"
His voice was almost pleading.
I chuckled and said, "You provided the Instance Crystal, and although I got this gun from a drop, since you want it, I can consider selling it to you."
"OK!"
Cai Cai said, "Currently, Tier 2 blue guns are in short supply, and they're practically priceless on the black market. However, similar blue guns on the Dark Web are priced around 120,000. I'll try to scrape together the money; I'm sure I can. If all else fails, I'll write you an IOU. You can use this gun for now, okay...?"
"Need not."
I shook my head. "I'll sell you this gun for 16,000. Do you think that price is acceptable?"
"Yes, yes!"
Cai Cai nodded repeatedly and took out three stacks of Star Coins from her Dimensional Storage Space: "This is ten thousand... Ye Zi, can you lend me six thousand?"
"Oh..."
The Garden of Words also took out six thousand.
"I'll pay it back as soon as possible, and I'll add a thousand in interest and treat you to hot pot!"
"You said it!"
The Garden of Words nodded with a smile.
So, Cai Cai handed me 16,000 Star Coins, and I gave him this blue Tier 2 SMC. Cai Cai was overjoyed. He had the gun damage bonus of Firepower Specialist, so with this gun, his close-range firepower might not be much inferior to mine.
As for why this gun is priced at 16,000, it's simple: with this 16,000, I can pay back the money I owe Lin Qingying. I always feel uneasy owing money to women.
Around 11 a. m., we finally cleared the church corridors, gardens, and other areas, and then our group arrived at the hall, where we were immediately greeted by a dense swarm of monsters.
The final chapter of the Bone Choir: The Battle of the Choirs!
This choir consists of 30+ monsters, including 20+ Skeleton Musician and 10+ Sonic Phantom. In addition, the BOSS stands on the high platform in the center. She is a woman wearing a blood-red dress. She is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waist. Her hair is disheveled, she is ugly and full of ferocity. She is the final BOSS of this dungeon!
Where your gaze falls, the BOSS's attributes will appear.
[Bloodcolored Chanter] (Blue BOSS)
Level: 35
Attack: 450-750
Defense: 120
Qi and Blood: 50000
Skills: [Piercing Demonic Sound lv7][Blasphemy Scale lv7][Grand Chorus lv7]
Details: The Bloodcolored Chanter, a monster hidden in the choir hall, turned the entire church into a hellish place with her three blasphemous musical scores. Only by destroying the three blasphemous musical scores can she be completely destroyed!
"Let's talk about how to fight first."
I plopped down on the steps outside the hall and said, "We can't fight an unprepared battle. Besides, the final battle in this instance is really intimidating. We might suffer losses if we're not careful, and it wouldn't be good if any of us died!"
"Um!"
Cai Cai, Garden of Words, and the others nodded emphatically.
"Brother Han, you're the expert, you take charge of the deployment."
"OK!"
I didn't mince words. "There are just too many mobs. Shooting them down slowly in a regular fight would be too slow. My suggestion is to use grenades. Throw in a dozen or so first to clear out most of the mobs before entering. Also, don't rush to kill the boss. There are three Desecrated Music Scorees in front of the Bloodcolored Chanter. I've checked, and these three Desecrated Music Scorees all have resilience bars, but they're surrounded by protective shields, so it seems like they can't be attacked directly. In short, everyone should act according to the situation. Destroy the three Desecrated Music Scorees first, and then deal with the boss. Listening to the dungeon description is definitely the right thing to do!"
"Okay, I've learned it!"
Cai Cai nodded and said, "You'll be in charge on-site later."
"Um."
I pondered for a moment, then said, "Tell me how many grenades we have left, and I'll allocate them to different areas."
"I have four," Ruolin said first.
"I have four too," Cai Cai said.
The Garden of Words states that there are only three, because they are not frequently used; the AAA Nationwide Flight has even fewer, with only two grenades.
So I assigned the throwing positions. It was more suitable for me to throw from the farthest position, since I could throw accurately. As for the number of stones used, five would be enough, leaving half for myself!
"Alright, get ready!"
Several people stood outside the window, arranging rows of hand grenades on the windowsill.
"Start, pull out the pin, throw!"
Before I could finish speaking, I immediately pulled the pins and threw grenades in quick succession, skillfully and accurately sending all five of my grenades into the hall almost instantly. The others, who threw fewer grenades, also finished their missions much earlier.
"Waaaaah~~~"
Inside the hall, a group of monsters suddenly turned around to look at us, while grenades rolled wildly at their feet.
"Get down!"
The moment everyone ducked down, a series of loud bangs echoed through the hall!
"Boom boom boom~~~"
Although the Explosive Grenade wasn't particularly powerful, it was more than enough to blast these elite monsters, reducing them to near-death almost instantly!
"Charge in and harvest!"
The next second, I rushed in with my Submachine Gun, firing in bursts, killing the low-health monsters one by one in two or three shots. Ruolin, Cai Cai and the others behind me also rushed in and opened fire!
"You heretics!"
On the stage, the Bloodcolored Chanter roared and quickly turned the musical pieces in front of him. Instantly, piano key-like objects appeared under his feet. With the sliding of his fingertips, waves of sound impacted in all directions!
"Be careful and take cover!"
I used a Step Slash to move away from my original position, just barely avoiding a sonic attack.
Everyone was taken aback at first, but then they understood.
The BOSS's attacks will create a pre-defined area icon, and the attack will come crashing down after 0.5-1 seconds, giving players some time to react. As long as you react quickly enough and use your movement skills well, it is not impossible to kill the BOSS without taking damage.
However, if you react slowly or panic, you could be killed in seconds!
"Da da da~~~"
As soon as the BOSS's attack ended, I unleashed a burst of bullets upwards onto the Bloodcolored Chanter's head. Her head trembled violently as bullets shot out from the back of her head. Unfortunately, she was surrounded by a shield formed by strands of musical notes, so the Headshot damage to the Roarer was extremely low!
"126!"
"105!"
"34!"
"114!"
The damage to Cai Cai and the others was also quite bad, and in the blink of an eye, the BOSS's second and third waves of attacks came crashing down, and everyone began to run for their lives and gradually panicked.
"Heretics should all go to hell!"
The Bloodcolored Chanter raised his palms, as if raising both hands high. Instantly, the musical score in front of him began to flip, revealing a page of blood-red sheet music with a "whoosh," and then the earth trembled!
[Please note that the Bloodcolored Chanter (Blue BOSS) has activated the skill "Profane Score" (LV7)!]
The ground beneath my feet trembled violently.
The dense array of impact warnings left me with very little safe space!
Explosive Charge!
Lock down the safe zone and immediately engage the assault!
At the same time, looking back, we discovered that when the BOSS activated the Profane Score, the protective shield around that page of the Crimson Symphony disintegrated on its own, making it ready to be attacked!
"Be careful, everyone!"
After giving my instructions, I ignored everyone else, turned around, aimed at the Profane Score, and unleashed more than 20 bullets in just 2 seconds!
"Boom~~~"
With a deafening roar, a page of Profane Score shattered on the spot!
"Holy crap, awesome..."
Cai Cai couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. His reaction speed was even slower, and by the time he started aiming, the resilience bar of the Profane Score had already reached its limit!
Be careful!
I looked at Zhang Ruolin; her health bar had dropped to 67%, and she had used an adrenaline to save her life!
"You audacious thugs!"
The BOSS chanted again. "I will make you suffer the punishment of the gods!"
Once again, the Profane Score begins!
I quickly retreated several steps, then charged into the narrow safe zone with a single Step Slash. Turning around, I unleashed a burst of bullets, this time faster than before, blasting the second page of the Profane Score to smithereens!
"Depend on..."
Cai Cai was dumbfounded; he was still a little too slow.
Half a minute later, the third page of the Profane Score shattered into dust!
At this point, the BOSS was no longer able to use the Profane Score skill, and the protective symphony around him had also weakened considerably.
"Focus fire on the boss, take her down!"
With everyone going all out, the Bloodcolored Chanter's health bar had already dropped below 20% in the blink of an eye. With me and Cai Cai as the two Heavy Firepower, it would be a miracle if she could hold on.
"Now! Begin the chorus and crush these heretics!"
The Bloodcolored Chanter roared in fury, but there was only a pile of corpses on the ground, making it impossible for them to sing in unison.
Goodbye!
With the violent impact of the Explosive Charge, a dizzying pattern spun above the Bloodcolored Chanter's head, and the next moment I took away the last of his health bars with a combo of Tian Gong Kai Wu + normal attack + Dragon Blade + normal attack + Bloodthirsty Assault!
"Snap!"
The Legion Blade swept across, and a large, fat head rolled off, spurting blood everywhere!
