World Boss

The group chatted and laughed, heading to their destination in a seemingly "harmonious" atmosphere.

Whether it was truly harmonious or not was unknown, but at least it looked that way...

"There are so many people?"

After flying and walking for a bit, they quickly reached their destination.

The reason they walked was because flying consumed MP. While not a lot, their MP pools weren't large to begin with, and this was also due to their propulsion devices not being high-level, thus consuming less MP.

Among the eight people, only Wang Qiansuo could fly for extended periods because his MP recovery effect could perfectly offset the MP cost of flying.

This was something even Lin Qimeng, at level 10, couldn't do, and many mechs at level 30 couldn't achieve it either.

Wang Qiansuo finally experienced the joy of a "pay-to-win" player.

But it was useless; he still had to wait for the others.

Upon reaching their destination, the first impression of the group was: there were way too many people!

The place where Markbei spawned was a hilly area. As soon as the time was up, he would appear on the hillside.

Now, the hillside where he spawned was already packed with people. Wang Qiansuo's group had arrived early enough, but they still couldn't even get onto the mountain.

"What do we do?"

Wang Qiansuo was a little panicked. The distance was too great; he couldn't throw explosive bombs that far!

"No need to rush. All these people on the hillsides are newbies, the kind who don't read forums. They pose no threat. The moment Markbei spawns, they'll be cleared out. We just need to wait here!" Sister Mao said dismissively.

Wang Qiansuo: "..."

He felt like he was being subtly insulted. Ever since the guides became useless to him, he hadn't logged onto the forum for the past two days.

"Ahem... well, let's go find a spot first!" Wang Qiansuo said weakly. Teaming up with these professional players was constantly influencing him!

"Ling, did you hear what was just said? Investigate why."

After the group secured their positions, Wang Qiansuo disconnected from the group voice chat and said to Ling.

Ling: "Understood, sir!"

Then, the information compiled by Ling was directly presented before Wang Qiansuo.

Wang Qiansuo finally learned that if the spawn location of a world boss was occupied, it would unleash a map-clearing ultimate skill.

Wang Qiansuo found Ling to be incredibly useful, aside from its occasional sharp tongue.

"It's about to appear, everyone get ready!"

Professionals are professionals. Sister Mao had been chatting with everyone, but she had been keeping an eye on the time.

When there was one minute left, she alerted everyone precisely.

Upon hearing her reminder, the group stopped their chatter and looked intently at the hillside.

"5"

"4"

"1"

As soon as the time struck, a laser beam from the sky vaporized all the players on the hillside.

Then, a mech with red lights flashing at its feet and holding a long axe appeared on the hillside!

The mech was entirely yellow, exuding a sense of power. It was the hidden evolved form of a power-type mech, "Kaishan" (Mountain Splitter), a level 20, second-evolution mech.

"Open fire!"

Following the commands of various team leaders, countless ranged attacks rained down upon Kaishan, piloted by Markbei.

"-1"

"-1"

"-10"

"-1300"

"-240"

The area where Kaishan stood was instantly devastated by numerous attacks. Most attacks only dealt a mandatory damage of -1, but among the countless attacks, one dealing over a thousand damage stood out.

The name "Thousand King" instantly appeared at the top of the leaderboard, though it was quickly overtaken.

This was because the higher-level mechs could each deal hundreds of damage per hit, while Wang Qiansuo's burst damage was only on that first strike.

However, he didn't fall too far down; the name "Thousand King" still ranked among the top.

Few players present noticed this issue, but everyone on the same team looked at him as if he were a freak.

This made Old Wang very uncomfortable, so he blushed and said, "What's wrong with you all? Just say it if you have something to say. Don't look at me like that, I'm not used to it!"

"What are you blushing about?! Explain your damage to us! You bastard!"

As a level 20 world boss, the Mountain-Splitting Mech piloted by Mark Be had a defense of over a hundred, with damage reduction reaching an unbelievable level.

This was also the fundamental reason why many level 30 mechs could only deal a few hundred damage. However, Old Wang had a skill called Armor Break.

The Armor Break skill's defense penetration was too buggy. Combined with the Famous Blade, it allowed Wang Qianduo to directly ignore 55% of the defense, so in front of him, there was basically no defense that couldn't be broken.

Wang Qianduo didn't answer everyone's questions. The Armor Break skill was one of his trump cards, and he would never tell anyone about it.

While they were talking, the situation on the field changed. The Mountain-Splitting Mech, whose health was dropping rapidly, suddenly emitted red steam all over its body and raised its giant axe high.

"Cease fire, prepare to reposition!"

Sister Cat looked at the output ranking board and reminded everyone.

Because of Wang Qianduo's initial burst, the Mountain-Splitting Mech's aggro was now most likely on him.

They needed to dodge the boss's first rage skill, but it wasn't certain yet, as the newbies who kept attacking might draw aggro.

This red steam emanating from the boss's body was a special ability of world bosses, a rage skill.

When the boss released this skill, its damage reduction increased significantly, and it could not be controlled.

Soon, the result appeared. A red area, eight lanes wide and thousands of meters long, appeared to the west of the boss.

That was not where Wang Qianduo's group was located. These people had indeed managed to transfer the boss's aggro.

Most of the veterans immediately left the red area, while some newbie mechs were still bewildered.

The boss didn't give them time to react. Three seconds later, accompanied by the Mountain-Splitting Mech's giant axe falling, a slash covering the entire red area descended, shattering countless mechs into pieces.

The ground itself cracked under this blow, rocks bulging outwards on both sides, forming a path of desolation.

After the boss finished using its skill, everyone resumed their normal output.

Mark Be was definitely the most pathetic world boss in the game. Because he was in a safe zone, everyone could basically just rely on luck and output.

Furthermore, he was a melee boss, so when Mark Be wasn't using skills, he could barely move and was constantly being pinned down and attacked.

Even a group of melee mechs, under the cover of ranged mechs, could ride on his face and attack him, and Mark Be had no way to retaliate.

He could only be arrogant for a moment when he used his rage skill. Can you say this boss isn't pathetic?

As everyone continued to output, Mark Be's health quickly dropped to half. During this time, he had unleashed his rage skill twice, but with people prepared, except for a few unlucky individuals, almost no one was hit.

After all, his rage skill was also very easy to dodge. However, after the first half of his health was gone, the situation changed.

When his health reached half, the speed at which Mark Be's health dropped visibly decreased, and his resilience increased exponentially.

He, who was originally unable to move due to control, could occasionally swing his great axe to attack.

Every swing of his great axe was accompanied by fierce gusts of wind, tearing apart swathes of player mechs.

In front of such a boss, it didn't matter how high your level or defense was; it was basically a one-hit kill.

After killing swathes of enemies, suppressing him became even more difficult, but players had an absolute advantage. After being killed, players quickly revived and returned, and the players' advantage remained very obvious.

"Old Wang, be careful during the last 5%. No matter who makes a mistake, you cannot!

Then, wait for my command. When I say 'ignite,' you immediately start channeling, and strive for success in one go!"

As the situation on the field became increasingly difficult, Sister Cat instructed Wang Qianduo. At this point, she no longer cared about her tone.

Wang Qianduo's output was truly impressive. In this situation, his damage had consistently remained in the top 30.

In the 8-person team, including Lin Qimeng, there were seven experts, but no matter how they calculated, they found Wang Qianduo's damage to be abnormal.

At the same time, some experts also noticed this suddenly appearing Thousand Kings, and they were very curious about who this new expert was.

However, everyone now had no time to pay attention to these matters, as the boss's health had already reached the final 10%.

The boss was becoming more and more berserk, with rage skills being unleashed almost every few seconds.

Due to the large number of people present, repositioning was originally very difficult, and now it was even more so.

Pushing and shoving each other easily led to a wipeout of a large group, and the scene was chaotic.

The members of Sword of Miracles had stopped outputting damage to the boss. They had only one goal: to fully assist Wang Qianduo in repositioning.
