Leaving aside how formidable a true Vampire Baron was, even this one before him already made Qin Chuan feel immense pressure.
Compared to him, the three Silver Tier bosses in the entire dungeon and Amos beneath Granite Hills were not even fit to carry Baron Gunar's shoes.
His exceptionally high attack and defense stats, combined with his wide-ranging skills, were enough to send any Elite Squad packing in defeat.
Not to mention that in Special Mode, a Silver Tier Wolf King was eyeing them from the side.
Qin Chuan thought rapidly and decided to kill the Wolf King first.
The Resurrected Wolf King was not a summon. Even if he killed the baron, it would not die.
And it was incredibly fast. If it lay in wait for Qin Chuan under the baron's command, that would be troublesome.
Google searched TWKAN.
Fortunately, the Wolf King did not have much health. He could kill it within a few minutes.
With that in mind, Qin Chuan raised his hand and threw a dagger.
Awoo!
The Wolf King let out an enraged howl. Baron Gunar also looked displeased, but he made no further move and did not even rise from the blood pool.
This was within Qin Chuan's expectations.
This awakening had not been part of the baron's plan. He had originally intended to sleep for another hundred years before awakening.
But the Wolf King, this uninvited guest, had interrupted him.
Because of that, the baron had not recovered to his peak condition and was still in the process of recovering.
But that would not last long. The blood pool would greatly accelerate the baron's recovery, so Qin Chuan needed to reduce the Wolf King's health as much as possible before Baron Gunar made his move.
If he could kill it outright, that would naturally be best.
It would come down to whether he was faster, or Baron Gunar was.
The Wolf King's health kept dropping. Baron Gunar's face darkened like charcoal, his eyes glowing red as he stared fixedly at Qin Chuan.
There was an old saying from ancient times: when beating a dog, one should still look at its owner.
The Wolf King had been resurrected by him. Seeing it beaten so badly by an outsider that it could not fight back made its owner lose face as well.
The baron had already decided to personally kill this intruder, skin him to make a rug, and turn his skull into a wine cup.
He would make this human atone for what he had done today!
Qin Chuan did not care how terrifying the baron's expression was. He only wanted to kill the Wolf King, then kill the baron.
When the Wolf King's health fell below half, the baron roared.
"Enough!"
As he spoke, he raised his arm and struck the blood pool.
Countless drops of blood flew up, then scattered in every direction like bullets.
Stone fragments immediately flew from the cave walls.
The instant the baron raised his hand, Qin Chuan had already used stealth to sprint to the cave entrance, using the wall to avoid the attack.
Given a chance to catch its breath, the Wolf King came to the baron's side and lowered its head with a low whine.
The baron pointed a finger, and a crimson orb of light sank into the Wolf King's body.
Awoo!
The Wolf King let out an excited roar, instantly recovering twenty percent of its health.
Qin Chuan cursed the cheating inwardly, but he could only watch.
This was the baron's skill, Life Conversion.
All he could do was keep attacking.
The baron's skills could not be cast without limit. As long as his damage output was high enough, he could forcibly burn down the Resurrected Wolf King.
After being resurrected, the Wolf King had lost its sense of self, but the familiar flying daggers still made it restless and violent.
That damned sense of déjà vu. It could not find peace even after death.
When its health dropped to fifteen percent again, the Wolf King ran back to the baron's side.
The baron furiously cursed it as useless, but he still used Life Conversion again, restoring another twenty percent of the Wolf King's health.

But it was futile.
The Wolf King would not survive until a third heal!
The bad news, however, was that Baron Gunar's body had become full and strong again.
He was about to leave the blood pool!
Boom!
A violent ripple erupted from the blood pool. The baron transformed into a crimson phantom, leaping from the pool and floating in midair. He looked down over the surroundings, a cruel smile on his lips.
"My turn."
"Tide of Blood!"
Centered on the baron, more than a dozen red torrents burst outward. Whether cave walls or obsidian flooring, they were effortlessly cut through like butter beneath a hot knife.
Although he could not see the damage numbers, Qin Chuan knew this skill dealt no less than ten thousand damage!
Ordinary players without sufficient life-saving measures would be wiped out in the baron's first wave of attacks.
Qin Chuan could only avoid the edge for now, hiding outside the burial chamber and waiting for his chance to strike.
Once Shadow Stealth came off cooldown, Qin Chuan darted inside and immediately threw a dagger.
Then he instantly used Shadow Stealth to retreat.
The Wolf King let out a dying howl, while the baron shifted his gaze and sneered, "Got you."
As he spoke, the baron raised his hand and fired a Blood Arrow. It struck the ground, sending up clouds of white smoke and corroding a deep pit into the obsidian floor.
If it hit him, Qin Chuan would die on the spot.
Even if he activated the shield from the Ring of Mountain's Heart, it would be useless.
That was how unreasonable a Gold Grade boss's attacks were. A hit on a squishy target meant instant death.
Relying on his high Agility, Qin Chuan evaded the attack.
And that made the baron frown.
"You actually dodged it?"
The baron was somewhat taken aback, then casually praised him. "You are strong, with limitless potential. You will surely become a grave threat to my kind in the future."
"Unfortunately, you must die here today!"
"Dark Deathmatch!"
Pitch-black energy seeped out from beneath the baron's cloak, quickly covering the entire underground tomb and continuously extending outward.
A game notification appeared.
"Ding! Baron Gunar has activated the special skill Dark Deathmatch, sealing all paths of retreat. The skill can only end when one side dies." "Please note: if you die within Dark Deathmatch, your character will be forcibly deleted!"
The notification made Qin Chuan secretly alarmed.
There was actually a move like this?!
In his previous life, he had never heard that Baron Gunar possessed the skill Dark Deathmatch!
It could actually force players to delete their accounts.
That was absurd.
"What went wrong?"
Qin Chuan's mind raced.
Was this change caused by the butterfly effect of his rebirth?
Or was this a hidden rule of Apocalypse?
Or had his Sniper God Talent caused the Gods to notice this world ahead of time?
Qin Chuan quickly cast aside those stray thoughts.
Dark Deathmatch had already been activated and was spreading rapidly. It had already enveloped him, and it was too late to retreat.
Only by killing the baron could he find a sliver of hope!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan became calmer than ever.
He had once slain even gods, let alone a mere Vampire Baron.
The situation appeared unfavorable to Qin Chuan, but he saw an opening for victory.
That was that Baron Gunar could not break through his stealth!
Otherwise, there would have been no need for the baron to activate a special skill like Dark Deathmatch to trap him here.
Wasn't he simply worried that Qin Chuan would quietly slip away?
From the shadows, a confident smile spread across Qin Chuan's lips.
Your stats may be high, but my playstyle is unbeatable!
