Phase Two, Kill!

Roar!!!

It threw back its head and let out an unwilling, furious roar.

The wounds all over its body instantly stopped bleeding. A deeper, dark crimson flame ignited from within, engulfing its entire body!

The Health Bar above its head began recovering at an utterly terrifying speed!

Phase two!

The boss had entered Berserk State!

In the distance, a flicker of despair crossed Leng Yuan's eyes at the sight.

She knew it was over.

A World BOSS in Berserk State would gain massive boosts to all its attributes and unlock even more powerful skills.

And although this student appeared to possess astonishing regenerative abilities, anyone with eyes could see that he was only barely clinging to life through some special skill effect.

The boss had become stronger.

How much longer could he hold on?

They would probably all die here this time.

However, Yang Yu's next move surpassed everyone's expectations.

He seemed to have sensed the threat from the boss as well.

The madness in his blood-red eyes intensified!

"Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!"

"Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!"

"Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!"

In an instant, he activated Bloodthirsty Battle Intent six times in succession!

Boom!!!

Nearly half the blood in his body was completely ignited at that moment!

Dense red vapor, so thick it had become tangible, burst from every pore of his body and shrouded him entirely!

Even the air around him warped under the scorching heatwave!

This was a suicidal attack!

But he no longer cared.

"Kill!!!"

A twisted roar that barely sounded human was forced from his throat.

His entire body turned into a red meteor, charging without hesitation toward the massive figure that was recovering its health!

Blade Draw!

Empowered by Wild Charge!

Stacked with six layers of Bloodthirsty Battle Intent!

And driven by the final eruption of King's Descent!

This sword transcended its limits!

Screech!!!

An unprecedented blood-red Sword Light, brilliant beyond measure, cleaved across the sky!

-266333! (Critical Hit!) (Wild Charge!)

The Abyss Demon Dragon's Health Bar plummeted by a huge chunk! Its health recovery was forcibly interrupted!

Before it could react—

The second Sword Light followed close behind!

-145478!

"Roar..."

The Abyss Demon Dragon let out its final unwilling wail.

The enormous dragon eyes burning with Abyss Fire slowly went dark.

Its massive, demon king-like body crashed backward, slamming heavily into the ground and making the earth itself groan.

The monster... was dead.

Congratulations on killing the Abyss Demon Dragon projection. You have gained 500,000 experience!

Congratulations! Level up!

Congratulations! Level up!

Yang Yu had also nearly reached his limit.

After delivering the final strike, the red vapor around him slowly dissipated, revealing a battered body that could barely even be called a body anymore.

At the final moment before his consciousness was completely Devoured by endless darkness—

He finally deactivated the state.

Thud!

His massive Demon body rapidly shrank back into human form, then he fell straight backward and lost consciousness completely.

Beside him lay the dragon's corpse, slowly dissolving into particles of light, along with a ground full of materials, items glowing red, and a piece of equipment it had dropped.

At that moment, sensing his weakened life force, the Personal Terminal on his wrist lit up with a faint glow.

Time seemed to have had its pause button pressed at that moment.

The cries, screams, and fleeing footsteps all came to an abrupt stop.

Every surviving Professioner, whether hiding behind broken walls or sprawled helplessly in the mud in the distance, froze where they stood as if struck by a binding spell.

"He... he... he soloed... a Level 20... World BOSS?"

A Professioner muttered in a dreamlike voice. His lips trembled, his teeth chattered, and every word seemed squeezed out through clenched teeth.

That terrifying existence, whose roar alone had caused them to bleed from all seven orifices, now resembled a punctured illusion. Its body was breaking apart inch by inch, turning into golden specks of light that filled the sky.

A Level 20 World BOSS.

A terrifying 500,000 health points.

And it had just... died?

Soloed by a student who looked under twenty?

Absurd.

An overwhelming sense of absurdity flooded everyone's sanity like icy seawater.

They felt as though they were having some bizarre nightmare. Otherwise, there was no explaining the scene before them that overturned all common sense.

"That transformation just now was definitely the ultimate skill of some hidden profession, or perhaps a Legendary Grade transformation effect!"

"Did you see it? A three-meter-tall Demon form, fleshy wings on its back, with strength and regeneration that had reached an unimaginable level! This... this isn't something an ordinary profession could possibly possess!"

"I saw him activate Bloodthirsty Battle Intent six times in a row! Six times! His blood must have nearly burned dry! He's a madman! A complete and utter madman!"

"Killing Greedy Wolf would have been one thing, but did he really awaken his profession today? That's way too terrifying!"

"Is Lin Hai City about to produce a True Dragon too?"

The crowd erupted into an uproar.

Each person spoke of what they found unbelievable.

Shock.

Unparalleled shock swept through everyone's minds like a tsunami.

Lu Fei, in the distance, collapsed onto the ground. Looking at the fallen figure, his mind went completely blank.

A Level-transcending solo kill of a Level 20 World BOSS?

Not only had he never witnessed such a thing, he had never even heard of it!

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Dragon Kingdom, had there ever been such a record in the history of Professioners?

No! Absolutely not!

Those Prodigies hailed as heaven's chosen, who had awakened S-rank or even SS-rank Talents, would already have been written into textbooks if they could last one minute against a Level 20 World BOSS on the day of their awakening!

But the person before them... he had not merely held on.

He had killed it outright.

"Monster..." Lu Fei's Adam's apple bobbed as he rasped out those two words.

Elsewhere, Leng Yuan struggled to rise from the ground. Several bones in her chest had broken, and every breath brought piercing pain.

Yet she paid no attention to her injuries at all. Her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Yang Yu, filled with the same shock.

But her shock was different from everyone else's.

The information she had access to was far beyond what these ordinary Professioners knew.

To her, a student soloing a World BOSS was no longer something that could be described as talent. It was simply monstrous!

And what exactly had been going on with that incomparably violent state he had entered earlier, as if he were about to destroy everything?

She stared intently at Yang Yu and discovered that he did not seem to be wearing any equipment capable of triggering such a terrifying effect.

Only the ring on his hand was something she had never seen before. Could it be an Epic Grade ring?

But even an Epic Grade item should not have such an absurd effect.

A possibility so bold that even she was startled by it surfaced in her mind.

The final piece of the Wild Boar King Set!

Legend had it that no one could gather all four pieces of that set, because the Nightmare Grade Instance Dungeon was an insurmountable chasm for Professioners from a small city like Lin Hai City.

He... could even clear a Nightmare Grade Instance Dungeon alone?!

The moment that thought arose, she found it a little ridiculous.

After all, no matter how difficult a Nightmare Grade Instance Dungeon was, could it be harder than a World BOSS?

This was an existence that required an elite battle group of the same level, fully prepared and armed with a detailed strategy, before they could even attempt to challenge it!

And that kind of battle group was nothing like trash such as the Greedy Wolf Battle Group.

One Professioner, comparable to an entire legion.

This youth was even more outrageous than the Provincial Top Scholar who had left Lin Hai City three years ago and become famous throughout East River Province!
