Abyss Corrupted King of the Pigmen

Half an hour later.

The Black Armor on Yang Yu's body had already been stained a dark red.

The discovery gave him a slight shock.

Nightmare Grade monsters were more realistic.

They could actually bleed.

By then, he had arrived before a massive stone gate.

Along the way, he had casually taken care of three Minor BOSSES guarding the passageway.

Each had as much as 15,000 health, but before his current damage output, they could not last even three seconds.

He had also obtained some materials that looked fairly good, though he had no idea how much they were worth.

And ahead was the true BOSS Room of the Nightmare Grade Instance Dungeon.

He glanced at his status panel.

Level: 14

Strength: 90+70

Agility: 50+10

Constitution: 100+110

Blade Draw: Level 13

War Cry: LV12

Iron Will: LV8

Half an hour!

His level had soared from the end of level 11 to nearly level 14, with his experience already past the halfway mark.

If news of that leveling speed got out, it would be enough to drive every professional in the Dragon Kingdom mad!

His core skill, Blade Draw, had even shot straight up to Level 13, causing its base damage to surge once more!

This was also the first time his level had actually surpassed the level of his skill.

Thinking about it, that made sense. One use of a skill could kill several enemies.

Each monster granted over 400 experience points, and the deeper he went into the Instance Dungeon, the higher the monsters' levels became.

Meanwhile, the Proficiency required for a skill was the same as its level.

Pushing those thoughts aside.

He stood before the door to the BOSS Room.

His heart was filled with excitement.

Because Nightmare Grade Instance Dungeon BOSSES had a chance of dropping Epic Grade equipment.

Not to mention that the next boss might also drop pieces of the Wild Boar King Set.

Yang Yu looked at the mural carved into the enormous stone door before him, took a deep breath, and without the slightest hesitation, kicked the gate open!

Boom!

The heavy gate made of massive stones collapsed inward beneath Yang Yu's tremendous strength, kicking up clouds of dust.

An incomparably dense, savage aura surged wildly from behind the gate like a tangible tide, instantly sweeping over Yang Yu's entire body.

The dust gradually dispersed, revealing the sight within the chamber.

It was an enormous cavern that looked unimaginably bloody.

The ground was covered in a thick layer of unidentified beast bones, which let out crunching sounds beneath his feet.

Crystals emitting a faint green glow were embedded in the cave walls, casting the entire space in a ghostly light.

At the very center of the cavern was no longer a throne of bones.

Instead, there was an altar formed from a Boiling Blood Pool!

Bubbles rose from the Blood Pool with gurgling sounds, while the thick blood released a nauseatingly fishy stench.

A gigantic figure over seven meters tall, its massive body terrifyingly muscular, stood in the center of the Blood Pool.

It had completely surpassed the bounds of a pigman.

Its body was an eerie dark purple, its muscles knotted as though they had been forged from steel.

A tattered flesh wing grew from its back. Above its vicious pig head, two spiral tusks over a meter long gleamed with chilling light.

This was not a boss at all, but a demon king from the abyss!

Abyss Corrupted King of the Pigmen (Nightmare Grade boss)

Level: 18

Health: 50000/50000

"Fifty thousand health..."

Yang Yu's pupils narrowed slightly.

Its level was as high as 18, and its health was more than double that of an Elite BOSS!

Just standing there, the pressure it radiated, nearly solid enough to touch, was enough to drive any weak-willed professional into a mental breakdown.

"Human... you... disturbed my slumber..."

A hoarse yet majestic voice echoed throughout the cavern.

It could actually speak!

The Abyss Corrupted King of the Pigmen fixed its tiny scarlet eyes firmly on Yang Yu at the entrance.

It slowly lifted a foot from the Blood Pool. With every step it took, the entire cavern seemed to tremble faintly.

"You... carry... the scent of my kin... You killed them... many..."

"You... deserve to die!"

Before the words had even faded, it suddenly threw back its head and opened its enormous maw. A visible dark red soundwave exploded outward like a shockwave!

This was Fear Roar!

But it seemed somewhat different.

Yet Yang Yu merely watched it calmly.

Skill Iron Will's control immunity effect has triggered!

You are immune to this Deep Fear effect!

He did not pause in the slightest.

A clear flash of astonishment appeared in the King of the Pigmen's scarlet pupils.

It clearly could not understand why this tiny human before it could ignore the mental control it was so proud of.

But Yang Yu was no longer interested in wasting time with it.

What he had to do was maximize his damage in the shortest possible time, and then...

Kill it instantly!

"War Cry!"

"Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!"

"Iron Will!"

Eight percent of the blood in his body instantly ignited. Scorching power flooded through his limbs and bones, and the 70% boost to his attack power caused his aura to rise steadily.

At that instant, Yang Yu felt every cell in his body cheering and roaring!

This was his strongest state!

"Die!"

The King of the Pigmen was thoroughly enraged by his series of actions. Roaring, it dragged its massive Bone Cleaver and charged madly at Yang Yu like an out-of-control heavy truck.

The ground continuously cracked beneath its trampling!

Faced with such overwhelming momentum, Yang Yu advanced instead of retreating!

His body sank slightly, then his right foot stomped fiercely against the ground. He launched into the air like a cannonball!

His target was point-blank range!

At the instant the two were about to collide, the Bloodstained Iron Sword in Yang Yu's hand lit up with dazzling brilliance!

Blade Draw!

It was still not Sword Qi, but a close-range slash!

Under the enhancement of Wild Charge, with every BUFF stacked to the fullest, and boosted by the terrifying multiplier of his Level 13 Blade Draw!

This sword contained all the power he possessed at that moment!

Slash!

A piercing sound of tearing rang out!

The Sword Light flashed and vanished.

Time seemed to freeze at that very moment.

"Urgh..."

The King of the Pigmen lowered its savage head and stared at its chest in disbelief.

A thin line of blood stretched from its left shoulder all the way to the right side of its waist.

Then, that bloodline suddenly burst open, spraying purple blood like a waterfall!

A damage number that would make even an entry-level professional suffocate slowly floated up above its head.

-16754 (Critical Hit!) (Wild Charge!)

The King of the Pigmen was dumbfounded.

It even forgot to scream. Or perhaps, after its Abyssal Transformation, it could no longer feel pain.

It stared in disbelief at the blood splattering across its body.

In an instant, it felt immense humiliation.

Then it became enraged!

"Roar!"

A thunderous roar rang out.

Then the wound on its body began to heal. The muscles on its back tore apart, and a flesh wing began to grow from within.

Its aura began to rise.

The health above its head was also rapidly recovering.

Yang Yu's gaze narrowed.

This was the second phase!

He had not expected a single slash to trigger the boss's transformation.

But he was not about to stand there like an idiot and wait for the boss to complete its transformation!

He leaped up once more and landed on the boss's shoulder.

Blade Draw!
