208: Chapter 208 Regional Boss! The Crystal Coffin Guardian!

During this time, Lin Mo encountered new and different monsters.

There were long-haired old women wearing wizard robes, and groups of seven small dwarves.

However, the rewards brought by killing these monsters left Lin Mo somewhat disappointed, because altogether they only amounted to a scattered ten or so points.

Compared to the large amount of points he had just obtained in an instant, Lin Mo naturally looked down upon this.

Fortunately, with Lin Mo's formidable combat output, he and Luo Siyue advanced extremely quickly.

Soon, they arrived in front of the location of this area's BOSS, the Crystal Coffin Guard.

The first thing that caught Lin Mo's eyes was a huge crystal coffin.

This coffin was semi-transparent.

One could vaguely see a graceful figure lying inside.

But upon closer inspection, nothing could be seen clearly.

Beside this crystal coffin, a massive suit of crystal knight armor was kneeling halfway.

At the first glance, the words "tall" and "majestic" popped into Lin Mo's mind.

He was nearly 2.3 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a wide back.

Every crystal scale on him was polished to be as clear as a mirror.

Cold air was continuously seeping out from the gaps between the scales.

If one looked closely, they would find that there was no flesh and blood inside the armor.

All that could be seen was a mass of thick, churning black Qi.

The black Qi inside the helmet would occasionally reveal a blurry outline.

A twisted face.

A broken arm.

And his right arm was not a normal hand; from the wrist, the crystal extended into a spike about three meters long.

A cold aura condensed at the tip of the spike, and even though it was stuck into the ground, it caused a layer of frost to spread across the floor.

Luo Siyue looked at this monster with a slightly complicated expression.

"This is the Crystal Coffin Guard, and he is the Rank 2 area BOSS."

"You must be careful; his skills are very troublesome."

As Luo Siyue spoke, she shared the attributes of this Crystal Coffin Guard with Lin Mo.

[Crystal Coffin Guard (BOSS)]

[Combat Rank: Rank 2, Stage 9]

[Strength: 380]

[Spirit: 150]

[Agility: 300]

[Stamina: 350]

[Talent: Crystal Cage]

[Skills: Ice Crystal Spike, Guardian Ice Mark, Ice Coffin Seal, Eternal Rest]

[Crystal Cage: Passive Talent. When the Crystal Coffin Guard's attacks and skills hit a target, he will stack one layer of Crystallization effect on the target. Each layer will reduce the target's movement speed by 5%, stacking up to 6 times, lasting 8 seconds. When the Crystallization effect stacks to 6 layers, the target will trigger the Crystallization Seal effect, doubling skill consumption for 5 minutes. When any target has the Crystallization effect, the Crystal Coffin Guard gains 25% damage reduction. When he receives damage exceeding 15% of his own health in a single hit, the reduction effect doubles.]

[Ice Crystal Spike: Active Skill. The Crystal Coffin Guard thrusts his right arm's giant crystal spike forward in a straight line, releasing cold air, dealing massive damage to all enemies in his path. This damage ignores 25% of defense and stacks 2 layers of Crystallization effect.]

[Guardian Ice Mark: Active Skill. The Crystal Coffin Guard slams his giant spike into the ground, releasing a circular shockwave outward from himself. All enemies hit by the attack will have their movement speed reduced by 30%, and the damage they can deal is reduced by 20%, lasting 3 minutes.]

[Ice Coffin Seal: Active Skill. The Crystal Coffin Guard summons an empty crystal coffin and forcibly sucks the target into it. The crystal coffin has durability equal to 25% of the Crystal Coffin Guard's maximum health. When the crystal coffin is shattered, it will explode, dealing massive damage to the sealed target. If the crystal coffin is not shattered before time runs out, it will restore 30% of the Crystal Coffin Guard's maximum health.]

[Eternal Rest: Active Skill. The Crystal Coffin Guard thrusts his ice spike into his own chest, causing all enemies within a 20-meter radius to take massive ice crystal damage and stacking 6 layers of Crystallization effect. After release, the Crystal Coffin Guard's defense is reduced by 30%, and movement speed is increased by 20%.]

Looking at the skill attributes of the Crystal Coffin Guard, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Honestly speaking, the combination of these skill attributes could indeed be considered a very terrifying existence at Rank 2, Stage 9.

His own attributes were sufficient for output, and furthermore, he had a whole set of damage reduction and control effects.

An ordinary Rank 2, Stage 9 team might not necessarily be able to deal with this kind of monster.

Luo Siyue's eyes also revealed a look of reminiscence.

"I remember that time we cleared it, it was all thanks to the captain whittling down his health bar from a distance. Luckily, this guy activated Eternal Rest. It was only when his defense was reduced that we managed to kill him by sheer luck."

After speaking, Luo Siyue cast her gaze onto Lin Mo.

She couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in her heart.

Jiang Mengxi's combat Rank was higher than Lin Mo's at that time, yet it still took her over 20 minutes to kill him.

So, how long would Lin Mo need?

Lin Mo still had a calm expression.

He looked at Luo Siyue and instructed, "Sister Siyue, just stay here, don't get close."

After saying this, Lin Mo took the initiative to walk towards the Crystal Coffin Guard.

"Be extremely careful, you must not let him stack the Crystallization effect to six layers."

Luo Siyue couldn't help but speak up to remind Lin Mo.

Lin Mo smiled.

Indeed, once this guy stacked the Crystallization effect, he could possess high damage reduction.

Added to his already astonishing defense, killing him wouldn't be that easy.

But that was for a normal team.

For himself...

Since stacking Crystallization would cause him to gain damage reduction, then before the Crystallization effect appeared on himself, wouldn't it be solved if he just insta-killed him?

Lin Mo stared at the Crystal Coffin Guard in front of him and stomped hard with his feet.

His whole body shot towards him like a cannonball, closing in rapidly.

After the Crystal Coffin Guard noticed someone approaching, he suddenly raised his head, pulled out the ice spike stuck in the ground, and terrifying cold air emanated from his body.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo was less than 2 meters away from the Crystal Coffin Guard.

And the Crystal Coffin Guard had already swung his right-hand ice spike.

Preparing to release the skill Ice Crystal Spike.

To bombard Lin Mo from a distance.

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up slightly; he had expected this.

Without hesitation, he chose to activate the skill attached to the Frost-Sealing Jade Ring.

[Lonely Frost Spirit Lock: Active Skill. Releases frost at close range to lock onto a single target, forcibly immobilizing it so it is frozen and cannot move, unable to use skills, lasting 2 seconds.]

A flash of white light shot out from Lin Mo's fingers and landed precisely on the Crystal Coffin Guard.

The Crystal Coffin Guard immediately stiffened in place, and the raised ice spike also had its casting interrupted and could not be released.

At the same time, Lin Mo had already arrived in front of the Crystal Coffin Guard.

He did not make a move himself.

Instead, the Eight Spider Lances protruded from behind him.

Eight long spears resembling spider legs suddenly shot out, stabbing directly towards the Crystal Coffin Guard's chest!
