The Nephalem's weakness

Typhon (the Defiler): "Kill him! Destroy him!"

At his command, the ogres swarmed forward.

Naiser gave a wicked smile, brandished his greatsword, and charged into the crowd, hacking and slashing uncontrollably. The ogres were slaughtered like vegetables being chopped into pieces, retreating all the way from outside the camp to inside. Five minutes later, the battle was over.

The ogre camp was littered with ogre corpses. Both ogre bosses were dead, leaving only Grontiff, who, thanks to his tenacious vitality, was still alive.

But he was not far from death. At this moment, Gronn lay on the ground, half of his chest pierced by the Dark Ripper's greatsword, barely clinging to life.

Typhon (the Defiler): "This... this is impossible... Gronn is... Invincible."

Naiser (King of Purgatory): "Nothing is absolutely Invincible— " he said calmly, thrusting his longsword downwards with force, ending the battle with Gronn's death.

[Ai Wo De Sa: Holy crap, that's awesome!]

[Fengyun: The Nephalem indeed awesome, they're practically Invincible, and they're moving way too fast!]

[Bu Yao Zai Ai Wo Yi Ci: How are we supposed to beat the other bosses? I think he's 100% going to win. No need to think about it, I'm going to bet on him right now.]

As Xiao Yu watched the live stream chat fill with comments like "Invincible!" and "Awesome!", a cold smile flashed in his eyes. So that's how it is. Is this all there is to Naiser's strength?

Big Water Cunt: "Boss, what's wrong? Are you scared? That Naiser is powerful, but he's just one person. When the time comes, we'll all go out and take him down."

"No," Xiao Yu suddenly said, "Things are probably not as you think. This Naiser isn't as strong as he seems. If we all go together, we'll definitely lose. But if I go alone, I might have a chance to win."

Big Water Cunt completely bewildered. "Boss, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"He is indeed very strong, but did you notice that when he first appeared, it took him three hits to kill a Stitched Monster with tens of thousands of HP? Considering that the Stitched Monster's defense is almost zero, that means each hit only did about 10,000 damage. For a boss of the Nine Skull level, that's undoubtedly very ordinary."

"But later, when we got to the vicinity of the ogre camp, he was able to kill a bone dragon with 200,000 HP in one hit. Do you see what that means?"

Big Water Cunt suddenly realized, "Boss, you mean his combat power will gradually increase?"

Xiao Yu nodded. "That's right. His solo attack on the ogre camp wasn't just for show. He was actually building up his strength. Clearly, his combat power will gradually increase as the battle goes on. It might increase over time, or it might become stronger the more enemies he kills. We need to observe this further."

There's something else you might have noticed: when he first encounters a monster, he doesn't have any buffs. However, during the battle, a buff called "[Nephalem Valor]" frequently appears. This buff seems incredibly powerful; with it, his damage is significantly increased. However, the timing of this buff's appearance is unpredictable; sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't. At first, I thought it was because the skill had a duration, but later I discovered that wasn't the case. He only gets this buff when he encounters two or more monsters, and the more monsters there are, the darker the buff's color becomes. In other words, this buff only appears when facing multiple enemies. This explains why he's not afraid of being surrounded; the more enemies there are, the stronger he becomes.

Xiao Yu concluded.

After listening for a while, Big Water Cunt exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, boss, you're amazing! You noticed that? How come I didn't notice it? Your observation skills are too sharp!"

Xiao Yu thought to himself that this was the difference between professionals and amateurs. Laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. However, he was probably not the only one who could notice these details. Even if he did, most people might not have a way to counter them. If it were a one-on-one fight, his opponent, a nine-skull level BOSS, was not afraid of anyone. In the Evil Forces Competition, he was the only one who had a chance of winning.

"So when I face Naiser again, I'll have to fight him one-on-one. Now, I need to continue working on my new ability."

Xiao Yu said this, then turned and left.

Big Water Cunt: "Boss, where are you going?"

"I need to improve my personal skills."

Xiao Yu's mind was very clear at this moment. The battle with Naiser had to be a one-on-one duel. Only a one-on-one duel could win, and this required him to further improve his strength. Returning to the game, Xiao Yu immediately began to recall the feeling when he was defeated as the Wan Yanmo Lingzhu. He had painstakingly trained his Flame Demon Lord, only to have it killed by Long Ao Jiutian's plot. The anger and inner turmoil he felt when he self-destructed.

He kept recalling it, immersing himself in this anger, and gradually, he felt a force swelling within him.

Then he suddenly raised his hand.

Fire Bolt! Boom! A Fire Bolt shot out suddenly, but unlike ordinary Fire Bolt, this one was unusually huge, streaking across the sky like a meteor with a crimson trajectory. It even let out a shriek in the air before exploding and shattering a huge ice wall in front of it.

It really worked! Xiao Yu felt a surge of excitement. The power of this Fire Bolt had increased at least several times—of course, the consumption of elemental power had also increased several times as well.

Could it also be applied to other skills? Or perhaps, without relying on superpowers at all?

He once again immersed himself in anger, then suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of flame suddenly shot out from his hand. This was not a fire skill he had mastered before; it was simply him expelling the flames from his body.

Haha, that's it! Fury turned into ecstasy, and Xiao Yu felt as if the flames had become a part of his body, something he could control freely through his will.

With a clasp of his hands, the flames condensed into a small ball, the immense power compressed together, making it potentially explosive at any moment.

"Go!" He pushed with both hands, and a fireball the size of a fist flew out. The fireball looked inconspicuous, not only not dazzling, but even slightly dim. It seemed to absorb all the light in the surrounding area as it passed by, until it hit the wall of the Chaos Space —BOOM! The violent explosion made the entire space tremble.

Haha, that's it! Xiao Yu seemed to have suddenly broken through a wall and seen things he couldn't see before. He let the gale lift him up, let the flames swirl around him, and let the earth tremble beneath his feet.

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! These powers have always been around me, in my hands. Now I finally understand." Xiao Yu thought excitedly, suddenly feeling full of confidence for his battle with Naiser.
