Rampage

"Xiao Fan, how did you know the Rag Doll would go back by itself after defeating the BOSS?"

Zhou He asked, puzzled.

The Judge Young Master behind him also pricked up his ears, waiting for Xiao Fan's answer.

"Because in this Cat and Mouse mechanic, the player plays the cat, and the boss plays the mouse. When we attack it, it has nowhere to hide and can only recall its Rag Doll to protect itself."

"It's ridiculous that this BOSS would actually come up with a mechanic that targets itself." Jian Qingfeng found it somewhat amusing.

Xiao Fan shook his head. "It's just a trick to buy players' time."

Zhou He nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. If Xiao Fan hadn't reacted in time, we might have wasted even more time on this mechanism."

The surrounding players suddenly realized: Oh, I see! The commander is really clever! He even thought of such an absurd mechanism!

Judge Young Master: This sly boss is a bit clever; a little mouse trying to act like Big Cat. Luckily, the mastermind saw through him.

After the BOSS recalled the Rag Doll, the Altar beneath its feet reappeared in the sky.

The Ghost Child has started driving its altar around, causing chaos among the players again.

Xiao Fan glanced at the countdown.

00:15:00

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to finish the match within this timeframe, but it will likely be near their limit.

Fortunately, they still have a barrier that they haven't used yet. At worst, they can activate the barrier in the last 20 seconds and unleash their full power from inside.

Players don't need to move or dodge; if they just stand and fight, their damage will increase significantly.

Xiao Fan saw through the Cat and Mouse trick, and the BOSS didn't use that mechanism again. Instead, it kept running around the Altar and crashing into players.

However, players have figured out this mechanism, and now they can easily avoid healers.

00:2:59

With only three minutes left in the countdown, Xiao Fan suddenly tensed up.

A level 150 boss can't possibly only have these few tricks up its sleeve; in the final moments, the boss will likely unleash another mechanic.

There's another thing that worries Xiao Fan: as a Spirit Body BOSS, he hasn't Ghost Child use any of their Spirit Body- specific techniques yet.

Fear.

Xiao Fan guessed that the final wave would likely unleash Fear.

Moreover, the frequency with which the Ghost Child Boss opens the Altar and crashes into people is decreasing.

At first, it was a collision every two minutes, then it was a collision every five minutes, and now it's been another five minutes, and the BOSS shows absolutely no intention of colliding.

This is clearly not normal.

Maybe the Ghost Child is planning something big!

Xiao Fan glanced at the countdown again.

00:02:45

"With two minutes left in the countdown, retract your formation and return to your original positions."

The barrier will activate in their original positions. The team will take approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds to regroup, and the barrier will grant them invulnerability for 20 seconds.

In other words, once they return to their original positions, they only need to hold out for another ten or twenty seconds until the barrier activates, then unleash their full power.

Xiao Fan quickly calculated whether there would be enough time.

As players gained more proficiency, their attack efficiency improved significantly, and Xiao Fan also discovered a way to check the BOSS's health.

Although we can't see the exact amount of health, we can get a general idea.

That is, look at the expression on the face of the Rag Doll in its hand.

At first, it grinned, then its eyes turned into mosquito coils, then it showed an angry expression, then a crying expression, and just now, the Rag Doll's expression turned evil and eerie.

Based on the standard Dungeon format...

These five emoticons represent the BOSS's health at 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%, respectively.

That means that just now, the BOSS's health was only 20% remaining.

It should now be less than 10%.

The chances of triggering a mechanic at this point are very low, but it will trigger another BOSS characteristic: berserk mode!

If it goes berserk, that's truly terrifying.

Xiao Fan just hoped he was overthinking things, or that the BOSS could go berserk in the last 20 seconds.

00:02:00

Two minutes left in the countdown.

The players began to shrink their formation.

The Gold Seal Player attacked the BOSS while running quickly back to their original position.

With only two minutes left, they're going to output as much as they can and won't waste a single second.

00:01:10

By this time, the majority of the players had returned to their original positions, with only a small group still running.

At this critical moment, Xiao Fan was horrified to discover that the BOSS's white dress had instantly turned red!

Is this... about to go berserk?

Heal me! Couldn't you wait until the last 20 seconds to unleash your berserk mode?

The Rag Doll in Boss's hand still had the same expression as before, but Xiao Fan felt that the Rag Doll was even more eerie now.

"Huh? When did the boss change his clothes?"

"She just changed it; her clothes turned red while I was fighting her," a Gold Seal Player said.

Why are you changing clothes? Are you planning some kind of mechanic?

After a day of listening to Xiao Fan's instructions, everyone learned something about Dungeon, more or less.

The boss doesn't change clothes for no reason.

There's only one explanation: she's about to use her skill.

"Giggle~"

The BOSS's laughter rang out again, this time even more sinister and desolate, with a hint of madness.

Xiao Fan's worst fears came true.

The boss has gone berserk!

"Everyone focus fire on the BOSS!"

Once the BOSS goes berserk, it won't stop; you have to kill it quickly.

Now it all depends on the boss's skills after it goes berserk. Dodge if you can. As long as they can hold out until the last 20 seconds and activate the barrier, it will all be over.

While the boss hasn't made a move yet, the players are itching to transform into Gold Seal and smash it down.

"Gold Book, Gold Pen Player, get ready. Keep an eye on the players' health and status in a moment."

Xiao Fan guessed that the BOSS would definitely use Fear this time.

In fact, Xiao Fan's guess was correct, but he still underestimated the BOSS's abilities after it went berserk.

"Hahaha... Descent of Fear!"

The BOSS suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

Xiao Fan stared intently at its every move, trying to guess its next skill.

Then the BOSS just laughed wildly, and the Rag Doll in its hand started laughing too.

His smile was chilling.

"Focus fire! Focus fire on the OSS!"

Xiao Fan was scared; the boss was really holding back a powerful attack in this state.

I glanced at the time.

00:00:59

Only one minute left! Only 40 seconds left before the barrier opens!

Hang in there! Just hold on for forty seconds and it'll be over!

However.

Hahahaha...

The BOSS's laughter grew increasingly manic, the piercing sound waves reverberating through the air.

At that moment, the Altar beneath its feet suddenly started spinning rapidly!

The BOSS's figure stood firmly in the center of the Altar before turning into a blurry afterimage.

Two afterimages, one black and one red, intertwined in the air to form a vortex.

Xiao Fan stared wide-eyed at the scene, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

He wanted to ask Jian Qingfeng to open the barrier, but some players hadn't reached their positions yet.

"Everyone, take cover! Everyone, come back quickly and prepare to activate the barrier."

Upon hearing that the barrier had been opened, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and ran back to their original positions.

But just then...

Countless terrifying Black Cloud flew out of the vortex in the sky, blotting out the sun and seemingly capable of engulfing the entire area.

"Open the barrier!"

Xiao Fan dared not wait any longer.

However, it was too late.

Before Jian Qingfeng could even step forward, the others were already gripped by fear.

Ye Bugu tried to Purification him, but ended up being filled with fear himself.

Xiao Fan ducked on the ground to avoid a Black Cloud, but when he looked up again, a giant Rag Doll had already flown into the crowd.
