Memory Fragments

"Hateful!"

After Zulwen let out a deafening roar, electricity surged across his massive body, and Lightning Field spread across the entire map.

Lin Qimeng and the others, who had not yet entered the attack range, were also affected by the Force Field and began to lose health continuously.

"This is its second phase, and we were all wiped out here."

During this stage, its defense increases significantly, and its electric Force Field reduces defense when it hits, meaning the more it hits, the more damage it takes.

We've tried all sorts of methods to get immunity to this, and it's impossible to become immune to it.

In its first phase, it will only use Energy Ray to launch continuous ranged attacks.

Although the attack is instant-kill and has a large range, it's still possible to overcome it as long as you stay in the air and master the rhythm.

During this phase, its attack method changes to lightning attacks; it will not use physical attacks as long as you don't get too close.

..."

Liao Wuhen quickly explained the situation to Old Wang, even though they had already discussed these things several times before they came in.

Old Wang watched his teammates' health rapidly decreasing, then looked at his own health, which remained unchanged.

The electric field that attacked him was absorbed by the Lightning Orb within the Elemental Orbs.

The Lightning Orb didn't even spare the high-frequency lightning attacks of the Mutant Insect.

"Come here quickly, I'm immune to this damage," Old Wang said immediately upon seeing the situation.

Upon hearing this, everyone began to gather around Old Wang; one hundred people was exactly the limit of Old Wang's protection capacity.

"Holy crap, is this how you beat Instance Dungeon?" Old Ma said in disbelief, looking at the lightning being absorbed by the bead in front of him.

"It should be about right; these lightning bolts can obviously be absorbed."

However, there must be some special item we haven't found, but it couldn't possibly be Old Wang's treasure.

"This bead is clearly too powerful. If it's this, this Instance Dungeon won't be challenging at all!" Sword of Miracles.

"Forget all that, switch to ranged attacks and fire!" Old Wang.

Thanks to the protection of the Thunder Orb, everyone was able to deal damage without pressure. Although Zulwen's defense had increased considerably during this phase, simply standing there and taking hits was pointless.

Knowing that its health had been reduced to 70% and it had entered the next stage, the energy in the Thunder Orb had only accumulated to 1/10.

As soon as this phase ended and it transitioned to the next, Old Wang looked at the Giant Beast in front of him and shouted, "Since you like playing with lightning so much, then here you go!"

Old Wang unleashed all the electricity absorbed by the Lightning Orb, transforming it into a purple bolt of Heavenly Thunder that descended from the sky.

Zulwen, struck by the Thunderbolt, roared in pain once more; it was unable to escape the Thunderbolt's damage.

This Thunderbolt attack reduced Zulwen's health by 21%, bringing his total health down to 49%.

Before it could even demonstrate its third phase, it was forced to move into its fourth phase.

Thunder Domain erupted from its body, Future all the attributes of everyone except Old Wang to plummet.

But before they could even panic, a seven-colored domain opened up and enveloped them, instantly dispelling their negative status effects.

"Is this its domain? It looks like a lightning-attribute domain. Can Boss handle it?" Liao Wuhen.

"Anything within the Elemental Domain poses no threat to me!" Old Wang said with a smile.

If he hadn't intentionally controlled it, Old Wang would have burst out laughing.

This boss was truly countered by him. Apart from catching him off guard with a mixed-attribute ray at the beginning, the following phases were basically a free win for him.

This is why it's only effective within Instance Dungeon; outside of Instance Dungeon, it's an instant-kill threat.

Actually, Old Wang never really took Zulwen seriously from the beginning.

To put it arrogantly, Old Wang no longer takes enemies below the Legendary High-Tier seriously.

Zulwen, despite summoning his domain, still couldn't cause any trouble for the Old Wang; his ranged attacks remained limited to Thunderbolt and spikes.

Using Thunderbolt would only harm itself, and using spikes would be Block everyone. Even if it unleashed an area-of-effect attack, it wouldn't harm anyone within the Elemental Domain.

As its health points drop, it becomes increasingly Rampage.

"No! I'm not reconciled!"

Zulwen, whose health had already dropped to 15%, roared in frustration, only to be met with yet another elemental holy spear from Old Wang.

This attack killed it instantly, giving it no chance to use any fancy skills.

"System notification: Congratulations to the Future Guild Player 'Thousand King' for achieving the first clear of boss Zulwen..."

System notification: Congratulations...

After Zulwen fell, a game announcement sounded, and the game went silent for a moment before everyone went about their business.

That person has returned. Who can stop the Future Guild's advance? They might get the first kill in the Instance Dungeon soon. So what...?

I really want to join their guild...

Unlike Normal Player who were used to it, the Player from the Martial Alliance felt a bit bitter when they saw the boss with 60% health left.

They were initially ahead of the others because the hidden NPC character had not yet been revealed, and currently only they possessed the Special Equipment [Electric Field Disruptor] to deal with the boss.

But everything changed after that person returned, and another opportunity for the Martial Alliance to rise was lost.

"Forget about that, let's just take down the boss in front of us first. Maybe we'll still have a chance against the last boss!"

"I'm really afraid that right after you say that, the first kill notification will come!"

"Stop talking nonsense and dodge the attacks!"

Old Wang and his companions were unaware of these fancy things; they were drawn to something that Zulwen had dropped.

After Zulwen died, it was a real explosion.

Its treasure chest contained over 30 blueprints for Perfect sets for various professions.

In addition, two Legendary set blueprints and one Legendary item blueprint also dropped.

However, these were not what attracted Old Wang and the others. What attracted them was a special item called [Zulwen’s Memory Fragment].

This thing is like a slideshow, constantly playing Zulwen's life story.

Everyone knows that this Planet originally did not have any Mutant Insect.

One day, a tall, Dark Shadow dropped a bunch of small life forms onto the Planet, and Zulwen was among them.

As described in the Instance Dungeon description, the Mutant Insect then survived and evolved on this Planet until one day the storm arrived.

In Zulwen's view, everyone could clearly see the Dark Shadow in the storm; this storm was clearly man-made.

What follows is different from the Instance Dungeon description: the Mutant Insect did not immediately gain Intelligence; they were still in a state of Chaos.

These primitive Mutant Insect fought, devoured, and evolved in a frenzy. Gradually, some of the most powerful predators evolved Intelligence.

Zulwen was one of them.

These Intelligence Mutant Insect began to form their own colonies, and from then on, the Primal Mutant Insect entered the primitive tribal stage.

Instead of savagely plundering the Planet's resources, or absorbing the corpses of native creatures.

This place never had many resources to begin with; this Planet was originally a barren and harsh Planet, and it wasn't caused by the Mutant Insect.

They are naturally adapted to this extreme environment and do not need to escape.

If the Primal Mutant Insect had developed normally at this time, they might have become a race like humans and Star Spirit.

But one day, the Dark Shadow figure that created the Mutant Insect appeared on its own and attempted to rule over all the Primal Mutant Insect.

But He miscalculated. These Primal Mutant Insect, which had evolved through bloody battles and devouring, had long since developed independent and free consciousness.

They rejected each other's dominance.

No Intelligence race wants to be ruled, and the Mutant Insect are no exception.

The Mutant Insect originally thought they were facing annihilation, and they were prepared to die for freedom.

But the Dark Shadow didn't take drastic measures; instead, it chose a more unusual method: it created a complex creature.

[Mutant Insect Overlord].

The Dark Shadow used the Overmind's powerful Mental Power to influence and control the Primal Mutant Insect, completely stripping them of their autonomy and turning them into creatures utterly subservient to the Overmind.

Thus, the Mutant Insect that everyone faced were born.

The story here is completely different from the description of the Instance Dungeon, but everyone knows that this is the real one.

This is because it was everything Zulwen witnessed firsthand, while the description in the Instance Dungeon is a historical account deduced by humans.

Zulwen was not actually controlled; its immense power allowed it to escape unscathed.

However, for these uncontrolled Primal Mutant Insect, what awaits them is the enslavement of their Overmind.

Zulwen, in particular, witnessed the birth of the Overmind, and it and the uncontrolled Primal Mutant Insect were terrified.

They attempted to fight back, but under the powerful and efficient command of the Overmind, the new Mutant Insect swarm quickly defeated the Primal Mutant Insect.

The Primal Mutant Insect were massacred and transformed into new Mutant Insect swarms.

Seeing that they could no longer fight against the Overmind and the Mutant Insect swarm, a small number of surviving Primal Mutant Insect, including Zulwen, were forced to go underground to hibernate or flee into Starry Sky to escape their pursuit.
