"Does this BOSS have a second phase too?"

Xia Yuan asked in surprise.

Mo Shiyu trembled as she stared at the massive creature. "Max-level dungeon BOSSes usually have several attack forms, equivalent to having several lives. They're extremely hard to kill."

They floated in the air, watching the battle from afar.

Naturally, the Alliance Raid Team was no pushover. Every Contract Spirit was above Level 90.

And even the lowest rank among them was B Rank.

The most powerful and eye-catching among them was a valiant female swordswoman in white armor. She was an SR Contract Spirit!

Every slash of her sword contained immense power. Even compared to Xia Yuan as he was now, her destructive force was no weaker.

Even the enormous black dragon BOSS was continuously wounded under the Contract Spirits' attacks. Its health bar kept slowly dropping and was already nearing its lowest point!

It seemed the Alliance Raid Team's Contract Spirits had been fighting for a long time. They were about to empty the enemy's health bar.

"Whoa, they're about to kill it. They're pretty capable."

Xia Yuan felt a little regretful.

He had originally thought he could go help out and leech some experience along the way.

Now, it looked like there was no need.

Mo Shiyu comforted him from the side. "Xia Yuan, you're max level, so you'll definitely be stronger than them. Don't be discouraged. Since that's the case, let's kill some minor monsters instead. We can still gain quite a bit of experience!"

Xia Yuan pinched and kneaded her slender waist. "Chubby Yu, when was I ever discouraged?"

Mo Shiyu was unbearably ticklish, and her delicate body twisted restlessly. "Don't... I was wrong, Xia Yuan. Stop messing with me!"

Just then.

The black dragon BOSS's health bar was finally emptied under the Alliance Raid Team's encirclement!

However, to everyone's surprise, the black dragon BOSS did not fall. It actually entered a third phase!

Mo Shiyu was completely dumbfounded. "A third phase? Are you kidding me? It actually has a third phase!"

The black dragon BOSS, as large as a hill, began shrinking continuously until it finally transformed into a humanoid monster!

Its nearly hundred-thousand-point health bar filled back up!

[Level 100, Shadow of Nidhogg, Star-Abyss Extinction (Third Phase—Humanoid Tyrannosaur Form)!]

The Alliance Raid Team's Spirit Masters and Contract Spirits apparently had not expected it to have a third phase either, and they all fell into brief shock.

Then, the Humanoid Tyrannosaur launched a fierce assault!

Unlike the clumsy giant monster from its second phase.

Its speed, reactions, and strength seemed to have reached the extreme. In an instant, it knocked several max-level Contract Spirits out of the air, leaving them unable to fight.

It even circled behind them and killed an auxiliary Contract Spirit with crowd-control skills first!

In the blink of an eye, the Alliance Raid Team had fallen into an enormous disadvantage.

Only the SR-rank female swordswoman in white armor could still contend with it.

"This doesn't look good. Seems it's time for us to enter!"

Xia Yuan could barely suppress the curl of his lips. He had been worried he would not get to leech any experience, yet an opportunity had just presented itself!

Mo Shiyu was extremely nervous. Even from so far away, she could feel the overwhelming pressure radiating from the Humanoid Tyrannosaur BOSS!

"Xia Yuan, are you sure about this?"

"Of course. I'm the strongest."

The Alliance Raid Team that had come to subjugate this Abyss Dungeon BOSS.

Consisted of five Spirit Masters and thirteen Contract Spirits above Level 90.

The captain leading them was Han Yue, a T1 Rank Spirit Master of the Alliance!

She was also the contractor of the strongest fighter currently in the raid team—the Level 95 SR Ice Soul Queen!

Han Yue and the other four Spirit Masters remained inside a spiritual barrier, observing the battle.

The situation was currently quite dire!

She had already requested reinforcements from the Alliance.

Their original battle plan had been disrupted by the appearance of the powerful third-phase BOSS.

After fighting until now, they did not have much combat strength left.

The Humanoid Tyrannosaur's combat power was far too outrageous. It had knocked several more Contract Spirits into near-death states where they could no longer fight, forcing them to temporarily store them in the Contract Spirit Space.

Only the Ice Soul Queen and three auxiliary Contract Spirits remained on the field.

Han Yue bit her finger, forcing herself to calm down as she watched the battle without blinking.

The Ice Soul Queen and the Humanoid Tyrannosaur BOSS had already turned into two streaks of light in the sky, clashing and fighting wildly. They appeared evenly matched!

However, the BOSS's health was far too terrifying.

The Ice Soul Queen had suffered severe damage in the earlier stages, and she did not have much spiritual power left either.

If this dragged on any longer, there was a good chance they would collapse before the Alliance reinforcements arrived!

"This is way too unfair!"

"That thing was already so strong in its first two phases! We've nearly exhausted all the Contract Spirits in our lineup, and it still has a third phase?!"

"We never expected this!"

"Captain Han Yue, what should we do now?"

"..."

The female swordswoman in white armor suddenly swung her sword. Frost burst outward as she sent the BOSS flying, then flashed above Han Yue.

She shook the frost from her body and spoke coldly.

"Master, this won't work. Do we have any other tactics?"

Han Yue bit her finger hard and sighed. "There's no other way. With our current strength, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to clear the BOSS. Prepare to retreat!"

The Ice Soul Queen fell silent for a moment, her golden eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Run? I want to try again. Its defense in this phase actually isn't as strong as in the previous phases."

"As long as I use my ultimate, I'm confident I can kill it."

"It's just that its evasion speed is too fast. I can't hit it at all. If only we had some crowd control!"

As an SR, the strongest ice-element swordswoman, she truly did not want to flee in the middle of battle.

If word got out, would she still deserve the title of Undefeated Queen?

Han Yue said helplessly, "That thing has a brain. It already killed the last Contract Spirit with crowd-control abilities. Queen, don't be reckless. Retreating now is the best option. Otherwise, once my spiritual power is exhausted, we won't even have a way to retreat..."

The other Spirit Masters exchanged looks. They knew there was no other solution.

It seemed this Abyss Dungeon would have to wait a while longer before they could clear it.

Just as everyone was thinking.

A lazy male voice suddenly rang out.

"What are you talking about? Preparing to retreat?"

"Wouldn't that be such a waste? You've already made it to the third phase."

Han Yue and the others looked up in astonishment, only to see a silver-haired man dressed in black holding a young girl as he floated above them.

The Level 28 marker above his head was especially conspicuous!

The Ice Soul Queen abruptly turned around, her icy beautiful face filled with shock. "You... how did you get here?"

She had not sensed him at all!

She possessed the passive ability Super Perception. Anything that came within a hundred meters of her was within her awareness.

Yet she had completely failed to notice his arrival!

"Level 28?!"

Han Yue's eyes widened slightly as she suddenly realized something and hurriedly said.

"What are you doing here? Are you looking to die?!"

"Get into the barrier! You're already within the BOSS's attack range!"

At the instant the Ice Soul Queen froze in shock, the Humanoid Tyrannosaur BOSS, which had been hundreds of meters away, suddenly charged over and appeared before Xia Yuan in the blink of an eye!

"This is bad!"

The Ice Soul Queen's pupils shrank. She wanted to save him, but it seemed she was already too late!

The Humanoid Tyrannosaur BOSS's bone blade swung with deadly precision at Xia Yuan's head!

The blow was devastating, and the speed of the swing nearly broke the sound barrier.

The sonic boom came afterward!

The terrifying force stirred up violent winds, sending yellow sand swirling through the sky!

The Ice Soul Queen, Han Yue, and the other Alliance Spirit Masters all looked horrified, thinking it was over...

A Level 28 Contract Spirit definitely could not withstand a blow from the BOSS. Even that young girl might die with him!

Yet when they looked closely, they witnessed an utterly unbelievable sight.

The BOSS's long bone blade had actually stopped before the silver-haired man, unable to advance even an inch!

The Ice Soul Queen's golden eyes were filled with shock. "It stopped?"

Xia Yuan calmly raised a hand, flicked the blade in front of him with a finger, and clicked his tongue twice. "That strike was really powerful. As expected of a Level 100 BOSS."

Mo Shiyu's heart surged with excitement, and she secretly reveled in it!

Sure enough, even a max-level Abyss BOSS could not break through Xia Yuan's Limitless Technique!
