154: Chapter 154 Another Level 100 Boss
"It's just the three of us left now." Su Lei shrugged; Bai Lu had already left.
"But at least the three of us will get more experience."
"Xiao Bai will definitely regret this."
Su Lei grinned. At their current level, there probably wasn't anyone with higher damage or better sustainability than Yun Ge. Even though there were four people in the party, Yun Ge contributed over 90% of the damage. Now that Bai Lu had left, their leveling speed would likely slow down.
"We should be a bit more careful too."
"With only three of us now, make sure to protect Ye Zi."
Yun Ge currently had three invincibility skills, so he didn't need to worry too much about his own safety. Plus, Xiao Yan was hiding somewhere nearby, though while Xiao Yan would save Yun Ge, it wasn't certain he would do the same for Ye Zi.
Time ticked by, and just as Su Lei was getting impatient, the already dim sky suddenly turned pitch black.
"What's going on? Who turned off the lights?"
A Shield Warrior in front shouted loudly, but a powerful shockwave quickly made him shut up.
An incredibly massive Qilin suddenly descended from the sky, shrouding everyone nearby in its shadow!
"It's so huge..."
Yun Ge had already read the Qilin's data:
"Ancient Ink Qilin, HP 500,000,000, Level 100."
The Level 100 BOSS guarding the Soul Spring! It had finally appeared!
"Finally, it's out. Old Demon Han, you go."
The first one had been stolen by A-Tang, Xiao Yan wasn't around, and the others lacked the combat power, so Han Li had been impatient for a long time.
Han Li acknowledged, a dark golden light streaking through the air as an orange arrow shot from his bow. It stirred up a massive shockwave in the air, aimed directly at the Ancient Ink Qilin that was wreaking havoc among the crowd.
In just a short moment, the Ancient Ink Qilin's powerful skills had already caused many people nearby to fall. The damage from a Level 100 BOSS was simply too high!
President An Zhixia struggled to keep her party's health up. Although their team was close to Level 90 and had already killed two super bosses during this offensive, they realized how insignificant they were in front of a Level 100 BOSS.
Level 100 and Level 90 were simply two different concepts!
Lu-ge, who was acting as the tank, was swiped away by a single claw from the Ancient Ink Qilin. If his gear hadn't been good enough and his HP high enough, he might have been one-shot by that hit!
Monstrous!
The previous Level 100 bosses had all been soloed by Ye Fan, Xiao Yan, and the others—who knows what remote places they found them in. This was the first time President An Zhixia had faced a Level 100 BOSS head-on.
Reality gave President An Zhixia a harsh lesson: they couldn't win! They absolutely couldn't win!
Fortunately, Han Li reacted quickly, dealing 80,000 damage to the Ancient Ink Qilin with a single arrow and immediately drawing the boss's aggro.
"Is this the gap between Level 90 and Level 100?" President An Zhixia muttered to herself.
Once upon a time, President An Zhixia had thought her S-rank talent was outstanding, having reached Level 90 in just over 20 years, and she believed she would reach Level 100 given time.
President An Zhixia had believed that Ye Fan and the others were only ahead because they had awakened earlier.
However, after reaching Level 90, she discovered that every level required a massive amount of experience, and the mobs after Level 90 were exceptionally difficult to kill, greatly slowing down the leveling speed. These 10 levels from 90 to 100 didn't look like much, but they were a threshold many Awakeneds would never reach in their entire lives.
President An Zhixia had been stuck at Level 90 for a long time, and this time, the gap in combat power was also painfully obvious.
Whether it was A-Tang, Han Li, or Xiao Yan, they could all solo a Level 100 BOSS, while her entire party had nearly been wiped out by the Ancient Ink Qilin.
"Let's go clear out the mobs above Level 80 and stabilize the situation."
President An Zhixia steadied her mind. There weren't actually many people from the Sword Immortal Song Guild, and there were many Awakeneds from other guilds in the area. The casualties caused by the Ancient Ink Qilin earlier had been significant, and now a bunch of mobs had spawned, making the scene very chaotic.
Their party had strong combat power and could quickly kill the newly spawned mobs, allowing the troops to stabilize rapidly.
President An Zhixia led her people to start killing mobs, while Han Li had already drawn the Ancient Ink Qilin away to fight it solo. Yun Ge, Su Lei, and Ye Zi were half-heartedly fighting mobs, handing off the high-level ones to other Awakeneds.
"That was Han Li who attacked earlier, right? So cool."
"Indeed, very handsome. Walking on air, wielding a legendary weapon, dealing tens of thousands of damage with a single arrow—that's what I'll look like in the future."
Ye Zi rolled her eyes at the cocky Su Lei. Just a Level 30 nobody, and his level was only brought up by Yun Ge—he sure could brag.
"Let's level up. This boss will take at least a day to fight. I wonder if we can just go and attack the Soul Spring now."
Yun Ge really wanted to go and try, but based on his experience from the first time, once the Soul Spring was destroyed, any undefeated bosses would retreat. He didn't know if the Ancient Fire Qilin would run away.
There were still dense swarms of mobs in front, so Yun Ge thought about it and gave up. In this kind of battle, individual ability was just a drop in the ocean. Didn't he see that even Ye Fan hadn't attacked continuously? He would wait until the main force pushed forward.
High in the air, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit late, the Ancient Fire Qilin had finally appeared. As long as it was out, that was good. The next step was to wait for Han Li to kill the boss, then the main force would push to the Soul Spring, and this wave of battle would be over.
Just as Ye Fan was preparing to command the main army to press forward, the sky suddenly lit up.
"Who turned the lights on again!"
Yun Ge glanced over; it was that same guy who had shouted earlier. The Ancient Ink Qilin hadn't managed to kill him.
"Why did the sky brighten up?"
He hadn't seen Ye Fan cast any spells!
A shrill cry rang out from far to near. Yun Ge abruptly pulled Su Lei and Ye Zi; it wasn't dawn, it was firelight!
What kind of thing could be this bright!
The three of them looked up and saw a massive firebird flying out from the direction of the abyss, its pair of flaming wings covering the sky and illuminating everything!
"Blazing Sky Phoenix, HP 500,000,000, Level 100."
"Another Level 100 BOSS!"
It wasn't just Yun Ge and his group who were shocked; even Ye Fan was caught off guard!
"What's going on!"
"This is the boss from the 9th abyss spawn point, how did it appear here!"
Before Ye Fan could figure out how to respond, the Blazing Sky Phoenix had already flown over the crowd and spewed a massive wave of flames onto the ground. Wherever it aimed, the human Awakeneds were instantly evaporated!
"Holy crap..."
Su Lei only had time to be shocked for a moment before he saw the Blazing Sky Phoenix flying in their direction!
"Grandma, come save me!"
Su Lei covered his head and screamed. Yun Ge had already activated Elemental Protection, but if the Blazing Sky Phoenix spewed fire down, Su Lei and Ye Zi definitely wouldn't be able to block it!
He had to interrupt the Blazing Sky Phoenix's skill!
"Mana Burn!"
"-23432!"
As the Blazing Sky Phoenix flew overhead, Yun Ge cast Mana Burn on it, but due to the level suppression, he only drained a little over 20,000 mana!
Yun Ge was already in despair. A Level 100 BOSS like this had at least hundreds of millions of mana; draining such a small amount was completely useless.
