Goddess's Tear Upgraded

As Su Yu dodged the attack, his quest log updated:

"Ding! Epic-level Hidden Quest Annie's Revenge completed!"

"Congratulations! You have received: Goddess's Tear upgraded, EXP x1000."

"Congratulations! You have triggered the Main Storyline: Glory of the Broom Empire. Please visit Village Chief Aimon to begin the Main Storyline!"

Goddess's Tear (Epic)

Accessory

Maximum Mana +1000

Trait: Grants Spell Power equal to 1% of your maximum Mana.

"The stats are pretty good!" Su Yu was very satisfied.

After Goddess's Tear was upgraded, the Mana it provided increased from 600 to 1000!

Moreover, the new attribute of Goddess's Tear increased Spell Power by a percentage of maximum Mana. At this stage, it could raise Su Yu's Spell Power by 11 points, equivalent to equipping him with an additional level-10 weapon!

But now was not the time to admire Goddess's Tear's stats.

Su Yu turned and glanced at the crowd in the square.

The ranged players in the square had already begun attacking the Star Forger Dragon King.

Arrows, Magic Missiles, and the druid class's Moonfire.

A massive number of attacks and spells flew toward the Star Forger Dragon King.

They struck the Dragon King, producing strings of forced damage numbers: "-1," "-1."

No one knew which player had attacked first.

But faced with a boss of unknown level that had even displayed a health bar, most players attacked with the mindset of giving it a try. What if they could kill it?

The Star Forger Dragon King dismissed those drizzle-like attacks with disdain. After all, none of them could break through his scales.

He took Annie into the air and flew toward the clouds, preparing to leave.

But at that moment, a blood-red arrow shot over like lightning and precisely nailed Annie in the chest!

-65!

A huge white number representing "True Damage" popped up above Annie's head, and she cried out in pain.

That strike had come from the little girl, Sky Dragon.

She had noticed Annie sitting on the dragon claw and thought Annie might be this large boss's weakness, so she tried shooting her.

As for that blood-red Feather Arrow, it was a skill granted by her rare Blood Clan Longbow Captain Bloodline—Heartpiercer Arrow.

Heartpiercer Arrow (Rare): Fires an extremely powerful arrow that deals 500% True Damage to the target. Cooldown: 12 hours.

So-called "True Damage" was damage that ignored armor and Magic Resistance.

Annie had always been in an immune state, but that state could only negate physical and magical damage. It was helpless against True Damage.

Thus, after being struck by Heartpiercer Arrow, Annie suffered a serious injury and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Annie injured, the Star Forger Dragon King instantly flew into a rage. Large amounts of blue airflow gushed from his nostrils, and his dragon face became especially savage.

Six hours ago, Su Yu had only damaged Annie's toy without hurting her, yet the Star Forger Dragon King had crossed a great distance to chase him down.

But now Annie had actually been hurt! How could he possibly tolerate that?

The old dragon's eyes turned blood-red.

He cast Star Heal on Annie, then turned and unleashed a breath attack. The breath transformed into pure starfire and crashed toward Sky Dragon.

Moreover, the breath's range was enormous, covering at least three-quarters of the square!

The scene returned to Su Yu.

After dodging the Dragon King's attack, Su Yu immediately ran out of the square as fast as he could.

His movement speed was as high as 12 meters per second, making him as fast as the wind.

Although the square was packed with players, Su Yu still reached its edge in just over ten seconds.

At that moment, the Star Forger Dragon King's breath descended.

Seeing the breath attack, Su Yu hurriedly cast the Blink spell that had just come off cooldown.

Whoosh!

Another flash of white light streaked past. Su Yu teleported 20 meters forward, escaping the square at the last second and rushing into a nearby alley.

Boom!

The breath attack hit the ground, and an earth-shaking roar rang out behind Su Yu.

The sound was so deafening that Su Yu nearly lost his hearing for an instant.

When he looked back, the Dragon King's deep-blue breath had already covered nearly the entire square.

-9999!

-9999!

-9999!

Countless huge numbers popped up above the players' heads. Players struck by the breath instantly turned into light and disappeared, leaving a huge section of the square empty.

The elderly village chief and several other NPCs were caught up in it as well.

The village chief's murky gray magical barrier creaked under the dragon breath for two seconds before shattering.

The poor village chief was swallowed by the surging dragon breath. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.

As for the Star Forger Dragon King...

After unleashing his breath, he glanced down. Seeing that the culprit, Sky Dragon, had already been eliminated, he soared into the sky and vanished into the clouds with Annie.

After the Star Forger Dragon King left, the surviving players were too stunned to speak.

Over a thousand players had been instantly killed by a single breath attack?

This probably wasn't a boss players at this stage could deal with, right?

Some ridiculous players even half-knelt in the direction the Star Forger Dragon King had flown, respectfully saying, "The three-year term has come. Farewell, Dragon King!"

This drew a wave of sidelong glances.

Su Yu leaned against the alley wall and caught his breath.

That had been far too dangerous! If he had been one second slower, he would have been instantly killed like the players in the square.

Fortunately, he ran fast.

He opened the communication interface and glanced at his friends list.

Skycutter Sword and Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon's names had both turned gray, indicating they had died in the dragon breath.

Snowflake's name was still lit up. Su Yu didn't know whether she was one of the survivors in the square or whether she had never come at all.

But Su Yu did not chat with Snowflake.

He found an empty corner, changed into his full set of mage equipment, and returned to the edge of the square.

At this moment, the entire square was covered in a "carpet" formed from blue starlight, created by the Star Forger Dragon King's lingering dragon breath clinging to the ground.

The remnants of the dragon breath continued to emit a brilliant blue glow, making for quite a beautiful sight!

But if anyone stepped on it now, they would definitely be instantly killed by the residual damage.

Su Yu was in no hurry. He stood at the edge of the square and waited patiently.

He planned to enter the square later to take a look. He still needed to find the village chief to trigger his Main Storyline, and he had no idea how the old man was doing.

While waiting, Su Yu used the game's built-in program to open the Official Forum.

As expected, the Official Forum had completely exploded.

Over a thousand "victims" were frantically discussing matters related to the Star Forger Dragon King on the forum.

The hottest post was a video thread:

"Breaking News! A mysterious four-clawed divine dragon appears above Novice Village No. 6, instantly kills over a thousand players, and leaves in style (video included)"

In the video, the Star Forger Dragon King appeared and wiped out every player with one breath attack, causing countless players who had not witnessed the scene to exclaim in amazement:

"My god! What an incredible boss!"

"Why would such a powerful boss appear in a Novice Village?"

"The Skycutter Guild and Emperor Blood Guild are really unlucky. This was completely undeserved."

"Yeah! Especially Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon. He got kicked out of the game twice in one day!"

"I've decided! This will be my future mount! One day, I'll ride it!" (Su Yu posted this one out of boredom.)

"Dude upstairs, can you look in a mirror first?"

"I did look in a mirror, but only then did I discover that such a handsome man existed in this world!"

"Uh..."
