As he continued killing monsters and using skills, his [Iron Will] successfully rose to Level 4.
His level also reached Level 11.
[Strength: 60+10]
[Agility: 35+10]
[Constitution: 70+40]
[Iron Will]
[Level: 4 (440/600)]
[Effect: Increases Defense by 250 and Defense by 25%. Duration: 1 minute 15 seconds. Cooldown: 45 seconds. This effect cannot stack.]
His defense skyrocketed once more!
Now, he felt that even if he stood still and let those monsters hack at him for several minutes, they might not even be able to hurt him.
And before him was the Final Boss's room.
Yang Yu walked in without hesitation.
The Boss Room was a massive circular cave.
Countless sharp stalactites hung from the cave ceiling, while the ground was covered in white bones, giving off an aura of death.
At the very center of the cave, a huge figure sat upon a throne built from piled bones.
It was a gigantic pig-headed humanoid over five meters tall!
Its entire body was covered in dark-red bristles, its fat face layered with rolls of flesh, and brutality gleamed in its tiny eyes.
It held no weapon, but its fists, each thicker than an ordinary person's thigh, were themselves the most terrifying weapons.
[Boarman King (BOSS)]
[Level: 15]
[HP: 20000/20000]
"Twenty thousand HP!"
Yang Yu's expression finally turned grave when he saw the BOSS's stats.
Its HP was three times that of the previous Minor BOSS!
And it was Level 15. Its attack and defense had probably undergone a qualitative leap as well.
"Roar!"
The instant Yang Yu stepped into the cave, the Boarman King on the throne suddenly opened its eyes and let out an earth-shaking roar!
An invisible sound wave instantly swept through the entire cave!
A system prompt immediately appeared before Yang Yu's eyes.
[You have been affected by the Boarman King's Fear Roar. Performing Mental Check...]
[Your Spirit Attribute is below 50. Judgment failed! You have entered a Fear state for 3 seconds!]
An overwhelming sense of panic instantly gripped Yang Yu's heart!
His body began trembling uncontrollably, and only one thought remained in his mind.
Run! Run now!
However, just as he was about to turn and flee—
Crack!
A soft sound like shattering glass rang out from his body.
[The control immunity effect of the skill "Iron Will" has been triggered!]
[You are immune to this "Fear" effect!]
The bone-deep fear instantly vanished without a trace.
Clarity returned to Yang Yu's eyes.
"That was close!"
A lingering chill ran through his heart.
If not for Iron Will's immunity effect, those three seconds of fear would have been more than enough for the Boarman King to rush over and smash him a hundred times.
Was this the strength of an Elite-level Dungeon?
The legendary first-meeting kill!
When the Boarman King saw that its control skill had failed, a flicker of surprise appeared in its tiny eyes.
Clearly, it had not expected this puny human to resist its Fear Roar.
But Yang Yu would not give it time to stand there in a daze!
He knew that against a high-HP, high-attack BOSS like this, he absolutely could not drag things out!
He had to unleash his strongest damage in the shortest possible time!
"War Cry!"
"Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!"
Yang Yu instantly activated all his buffs!
A pale-red Shockwave spread outward, weakening the Boarman King's attack by 20%.
At the same time, a blazing sensation surged from within him. He burned 9% of his HP in exchange for a full 60% increase in attack power!
His buffs were fully stacked!
At that moment, Yang Yu's momentum rose to its peak!
Without the slightest hesitation, he shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, the [Blood-Stained Iron Sword] in his hand carving a bleak arc through the air!
Blade Draw Slash!
Blade Draw Slash!
Blade Draw Slash!
With the boost from [Wild Charge], he instantly unleashed three streaks of Sword Qi at the Boarman King!
-2123! (Charge)
-1678!
-2566! (Critical Hit)
A string of terrifying damage numbers frantically rose from above the Boarman King's head!
In a single instant, a quarter of the BOSS's massive twenty-thousand-point Health Bar had been forcibly carved away!
Yet Yang Yu still frowned.
This monster's defense surprised even him.
The damage he dealt was actually lower than he had imagined.
"ROAR!!!"
The intense pain instantly enraged the Boarman King!
It leaped from the throne, its massive body coming down with the force of Mount Tai, and swung its wok-sized fist viciously at Yang Yu!
The fist howled through the air, even producing a sharp tearing sound!
If that punch landed, Yang Yu genuinely felt he would break the record for the fastest he had ever moved in his life.
But while rapidly retreating to widen the distance, Yang Yu calmly continued releasing Sword Qi and kiting the BOSS.
Unfortunately, the Boarman King was far faster than he had expected!
Despite its massive body, it possessed agility completely at odds with its size. In just a few strides, it caught up to the retreating Yang Yu, its enormous fist already looming above his head!
There was nowhere left to retreat!
If so, then he would face it head-on!
A ruthless glint flashed through Yang Yu's eyes. Rather than retreat, he stopped in his tracks and, facing the descending giant fist, swung his sword without dodging!
This time, it was a close-range Blade Draw Slash!
He was going to gamble!
He was betting that his damage could interrupt the BOSS's attack!
-6500! (Critical Hit!) (Charge)
A huge damage number violently exploded above the Boarman King's head!
At close range, Blade Draw Slash already dealt twice as much damage as Sword Qi!
With the critical hit, Charge bonus, and Bloodthirsty Battle Intent added on top, the damage from this strike soared through the roof!
"Awooo!"
The Boarman King suddenly let out a pained howl.
Its powerful attack had actually been forcibly interrupted by Yang Yu's earth-shattering strike!
Its massive body staggered back two steps from the intense pain, falling into a brief period of stiffness.
An opening!
Yang Yu's eyes instantly lit up!
He would not let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away!
Strike while the iron was hot and take its life!
He lunged forward, the iron sword in his hand turning into a series of afterimages as he crazily poured damage onto the immobilized Boarman King!
Blade Draw Slash!
Blade Draw Slash!
Blade Draw Slash!
-3362!
-3421!
-3399!
With several buffs empowering him, every close-range slash dealt over three thousand terrifying damage!
The Boarman King's HP, which had already fallen below ten thousand, was instantly emptied at a visible rate!
"Urgh..."
The Boarman King's huge body swayed, its tiny eyes filled with disbelief.
Even in death, it could not understand how a dignified Level 15 Elite BOSS had been hacked to death by a Level 10 human in just ten short seconds.
Boom!
The massive corpse crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A string of system prompts rang out beside Yang Yu's ears.
[You killed the Level 15 Boarman King (Elite BOSS). You gained 22000 EXP!]
[Your skill Iron Will has risen to Level 5!]
