140: Chapter 140 I'll Do It

Su Lei shook his head. Although the level 30 bronze weapon had a higher attack than the silver weapon he was currently holding, it lacked an extra stat.

Besides...

"Yun Ge, I'm not level 30 yet. I'm not like you."

"You can just keep it for now and switch when you hit level 30."

"Forget it, the stats aren't good. I believe you'll be able to get a level 30 silver weapon."

"Alright then, we'll sell everything and split the money."

Since they were clearing the elite monsters so quickly, there was no need to stop and rest like before. Yun Ge treated it as if he had just fought a regular mob and continued walking forward.

After crossing a long staircase, another group of skeletons wearing black robes blocked their path.

"Undead Lich: HP 10,400, Level 33."

"Their HP is over ten thousand!"

"No problem. Su Lei, go up and pull a few over."

Yun Ge raised his thunder staff in anticipation. By the time Su Lei returned with over 20 Undead Liches, Meteor Shower had already covered the sky and ground.

"These monsters are ranged."

Ye Zi hurriedly healed Yun Ge. With so many magic-type monsters, they didn't need to get close to cast spells. Although Yun Ge's magic defense was slightly high, his HP was still insufficient, and he could be killed by the mobs if he wasn't careful.

Yun Ge's HP fluctuated wildly. A single Undead Lich could deal about 200 damage to him. Fortunately, since Yun Ge's skills were either stuns or paralysis, the mobs couldn't cast spells at the same time, allowing them to narrowly finish off this wave of monsters.

"That was so dangerous!"

"We really need a tank. My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now!"

Ye Zi patted her chest nervously. In reality, Yun Ge was also panicking inside. He hadn't expected to underestimate these mobs; if he ever encountered a large number of magic-type monsters, his low HP would be a fatal flaw.

"We don't necessarily need a tank; it would be enough if Ma Sai and Bai Lu were here, as that would give us more HP."

"Su Lei, you should be able to learn Light of Life too, right? Don't you have that skill?"

Su Lei shook his head: "No, I didn't awaken that skill."

"But I do have this skill, I just forgot about it earlier."

Su Lei raised the sword in his hand, and a blue, translucent barrier enveloped Yun Ge.

"This is a skill I just awakened at level 25. It can increase a teammate's magic defense, and it lasts for half an hour."

"That's similar to Light of Life. Nice skill you've got there."

Yun Ge opened his panel and took a look. His magic defense had indeed increased significantly, by about 50%. Combined with the previous buffs from Haoji Changcun and Ye Zi's Spirit Gathering Art, Yun Ge's current magic defense was 220% of his base stats!

"That's enough. Keep pulling; there's quite a lot of EXP to be gained from clearing this wave of mobs."

Su Lei charged forward again.

Then, the three of them cleared out vast swathes of Undead Liches and Undead Knights, and soon stood before a large hall.

"The terrain is open here; the BOSS is in this place."

The pitch-black hall resembled the gaping maw of an abyss, with night pearls occasionally emitting a ghastly, pale light. There were no mobs here. According to the guides from other Awakeneds from a few days ago, a random BOSS would appear here.

"According to people who cleared this dungeon a few days ago, there's usually an Undead Knight Leader here, with a smaller chance of a Great Lich spawning."

"One is purely physical attack, and the other is magic attack."

"I hope we encounter the Knight Leader."

If it were a physical BOSS, Yun Ge could kite it, but against a ranged magic BOSS, Yun Ge would have to take a beating.

After a moment's pause, Su Lei led the way inside. The interior of the hall was much brighter than the outside, with many night pearls embedded in the walls and ceiling. A skeleton wearing black robes and a hood stood prominently in the very center of the hall.

"Great Lich Haken: HP 600,000, Level 35."

"Damn, it's a magic BOSS!"

"600,000 HP!"

Su Lei was already scanning the interior of the hall, trying to see if there were any other doors they could use to bypass it.

This BOSS looked extremely formidable; Yun Ge probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Have you forgotten that during the monster siege, we killed a level 30 BOSS? It was also ranged, and it also had 600,000 HP."

"Oh, could it be that you, Yun Ge..."

Yun Ge nodded: "It's just a magic-type monster. We just need to turn it into a physical-type monster."

"Turn it into a physical-type monster?"

Su Lei didn't understand, but Ye Zi seemed to have realized something.

Yun Ge had already charged forward.

"Mana Burn!"

"-1,000,000!"

"Holy crap, 1 million Mana!"

Looking at the massive blue number, even Yun Ge felt a lingering fear. If he didn't have the Mana Burn skill, who knew how many skills this BOSS would have unleashed.

Without mana, the Great Lich couldn't even compare to a mob in front of Yun Ge.

After all, there were many mobs, and Yun Ge couldn't drain their mana one by one, but there was only one BOSS. The Great Lich roared in anger and raised its skeleton staff, but nothing came out.

"Mana Bomb!"

"-120,000!"

"Oh my god!"

Su Lei, watching from behind, was immediately shocked to see the Great Lich lose 120,000 HP from a single skill of Yun Ge's.

It seemed there was no difference between Yun Ge fighting a BOSS and fighting an elite monster.

600,000 HP was nothing more than requiring Yun Ge to cast a few more skills.

"Yun Ge is already handling same-level BOSSes with ease."

"Kite physical monsters, drain mana from magic monsters before kiting them—it's quite boring."

Su Lei stopped attacking as well. After buffing Yun Ge, he crossed his arms and watched from behind. Yun Ge continuously threw Mana Bombs, and soon the 600,000 HP BOSS was down to a sliver of health.

Theoretically, the Great Lich should have gone berserk countless times by now, but with Yun Ge draining its mana every now and then, the Great Lich hadn't even managed to cast a single skill.

"It's time to make an appearance!"

Seeing that the BOSS only had 20,000 HP left and Yun Ge's damage was getting lower and lower, Su Lei drew his sword, struck a cool pose, and prepared to charge in to help.

But suddenly, a change occurred in the arena!

The Great Lich waved its hand. Without any incantation, a massive swarm of undead mobs appeared densely throughout the hall!

"Damn, Undead Scourge!"

Su Lei ran desperately toward Yun Ge, wanting to help him hold off the mobs.

"Thundercloud Storm!"

Yun Ge remained calm. He raised his staff and unleashed a Thundercloud Storm, paralyzing half of the mobs in place. He followed up with Meteor Shower and Sandstorm, and finally, Blizzard to slow them down, causing the mobs to stumble around and preventing them from getting close to him.

"Mana Burn."

Yun Ge kept his target locked on the Great Lich, not giving it a chance to cast any skills. The hall was packed with mobs, and the Great Lich was actually blocked by them, unable to catch up to Yun Ge.

"This isn't working, the mobs have too much HP!"

The HP of the mobs here all exceeded 10,000. Su Lei was desperately using skills around Yun Ge. With his lifesteal talent, Su Lei wasn't in danger of being killed, but his damage wasn't high enough to clear the mobs quickly.

"I'll handle it."

Ye Zi, who had been standing at the back, made her move. Her Spirit Jar shone with brilliant light, and accompanied by Ye Zi's crisp voice, all the mobs in the hall were frozen in place.

"Absolute Zero!"
