Dark River Boss Raid (1)
Dark River stood on the Wujiang Bridge, watching the rapidly retreating crowd. He did not continue to interfere or attack. His purpose was not to create a massacre; he simply wanted to spread fear to increase his own credibility. On the other hand, it was to cooperate with the main body to complete his plan. Whether these people were there or not didn't matter; their retreat saved him some trouble.
Of course, this is also because this is Leping City. The Great Yue Kingdom dares not send out its army here, as no one knows what might happen. Otherwise, with its powerful military weapons, the other side would have destroyed the bridge and the river together.
"Oh, those insects actually dare to come over?" Dark River's body, which resembled black mist, continued to condense, transforming into a blurry, dark figure. Due to the legend, he was considered to be in a formless state, so even when he condensed a body, his face was still blurry, and the black mist outside could be considered extensions of his body.
Fu Bin stepped directly into the black mist, which was equivalent to entering the body of the Dark River.
Stepping inside, Fu Bin felt a sudden weight lift from his heart, fear creeping in. Memories related to that fear began to resurface, attempting to breach his defenses and drive him to madness and despair. Fu Bin stubbornly maintained his mental fortifications, shouting, "Everything I do is to cleanse this society of its garbage! I will be the god of the new world! Your fear cannot affect me!"
Fu Bin frantically hypnotized himself, protecting his weak, fearful self beneath a mental barrier. Black smoke billowed from his body, and behind him, Shadow Magic suddenly broke through its limitations, growing a pair of jet-black raven wings. The black Plankton in his hand condensed into a longsword, making him look exactly like a demon.
With a flap of his black wings, Fu Bin soared into the air, enveloped in black, flame-like smoke. Holding a jet-black longsword, he roared and charged directly at the massive shadowy body of the Dark River.
"Has he finally awakened his abilities?" Dark River thought to himself, sensing the Shadow Magic on Fu Bin's body. The abilities Fu Bin used before were actually the Plankton Algae carried by the mask itself. His own abilities had always been covered by the Plankton Algae and had not been Excitation. This time, under the Dark River's aura of fear, he strengthened his mental barrier, gained the Pride of calling himself a god, and mastered the power of the Flying Species.
If Lu Li 'Fu Bin true form were here, he could directly manipulate the mask to alter the structure of the Shadow Magic within Fu Bin's body, or even extract that magic to force Fu Bin back to his original form.
However, now he is facing Fu Bin, who is Dark River. He and Lu Li have an extremely close relationship and can be regarded as one person, but they are not the same person. Although Dark River can sense the Shadow Magic and Shadow Mask belonging to Lu Li, he does not have the authority to control them. The two powers are separate.
Dark River let out a low laugh. Even without the control of Shadow Magic, even if Fu Bin Excitation the power of Pride, and even with the Sloth Plankton Algae, so what? The difference in strength was simply too great.
The Black Mist floating in the air, under the control of the Dark River, instantly solidified into liquid. Fu Bin struggled desperately like a mosquito trapped in water, yet he couldn't move. "Insect! Enjoy the fear of desperate struggle. I see the fear in your heart."
"Huh?" The Dark River suddenly sensed something and saw a large number of cats rushing out from both sides of the bridge. It seemed that all the cats in Leping City were here, whether they were wild cats or domestic cats, all under Luo Yan's control, rushing towards the black mist.
"Trying to explore my body?" Dark River understood Luo Yan's thoughts. She probably believed that she possessed a core, since in most game novels, weren't those energy-bodied bosses all possessing cores, only to be destroyed by the protagonist in a single blow and die?
Unfortunately, the Dark River is formed from legendary elements. It's described as a black mist rising from the river; as long as the mist isn't completely eliminated and the river continues to emit moisture, it won't die. But wouldn't it be nice to play around with them?
Thinking this, Dark River's heart stirred, and the Black Mist that permeated the entire bridge gathered together, transforming into pitch-black monsters. These monsters, shrouded in black mist, were humanoid in shape, their faces obscured, and they lay sprawled across the bridge. These were all Dark River's Fear Kin, condensed from the Dark River's mist.
Dark River appeared in the center of the bridge, a body over three meters tall with black skin, covered in something like water mist. The mist on his head quickly gathered and condensed into a pitch-black mask. Looking into the eye sockets of the mask, they were empty, pitch black, and devoid of anything.
Due to the legend, he has no specific shape, so even if he now condenses a body, he cannot reveal his face. In fact, every wisp of black mist is him, and the black mist that makes up the Fear Kin is also him. The current body is just a manifestation formed by the condensation of a part of his body. However, foolish people in the world find it difficult to understand this intuitively.
So when Dark River revealed his human form, people assumed that this was his true form, and that the Black Mist was merely a result of his abilities. The crowd rushing towards them saw this and were filled with mixed emotions. Bing Bing, however, noticed the mask Dark River had worn and realized that the person was Li Yuanfeng. But not wanting to contradict Old Hu again, she didn't show it.
"Xiao Mi, provide information resources and monitor the entire battlefield. When I tell you to use a tool, just use it. Also, when Li Yuanfeng appears, remind us." Seeing that he was awake, Old Hu racked his brains and instructed Xiao Mi, then turned to Bing Bing and said, "You can join the battle, but you are only allowed to use 50% of your strength. Conserve your strength to guard against special situations such as Li Yuanfeng."
Seeing the two nod, Old Hu turned around and looked at Xiao Zhang and the others who had rushed over, and said directly, "Come at me all at once. Luo Yan and Fu Bin are also combatants now. I don't want to see you do anything irrational because of personal grudges. After we deal with the King of Fear, I can help you take revenge."
After saying that, Old Hu took Bing Bing and headed towards the bridge. Xiao Zhang's expression flashed with anger. Who did he think he was? How dare he order me around like that? However, their rationality reminded them not to turn against the people of the country, so they quickly adjusted their mindset and ran towards the bridge.
Now, on the bridge, the Fear Kin guard the Dark River Humanoid in the middle, clearing out the cats that rushed in one by one. However, these cats, each with Shadow Magic glow emanating from their bodies, were surprisingly agile. It seems that Luo Yan's strength has improved considerably during this time, as she can now directly use Shadow Magic to enhance the cats under her control.
From the black liquid above, came Fu Bin's furious roar, "I am a god!" A black longsword, glowing with light, actually slashed through the black liquid, and Fu Bin's figure, covered in black smoke, fell out.
Dark River raised its head and looked at the people who had arrived. Now most of the actors had arrived, and the main scene could begin filming. So, action! Scene 1 of the Dark River BOSS Extermination Battle begins!
