Darkness enveloped the ground. All the spirits were killed.
Li Yi’s mana was jumping up and down throughout the battle. With the aid of Onyxia’s breath, he was able to pull through and killed close to twenty thousand spirits.
Rumble! Tumble!
The ground shook violently as an ethereal black smoke seeped from the ground towards one direction, slowly crystallizing.
When the black smoke took the form of an Ancient-level boss, the spy hiding in the clouds could not help but cry out in alarm.
Standing tall at a hundred meters and sporting scary facial features, the creature was wreathed in black smoke. On closer inspection, it was a multitude of spirits fluttering all over its body. At the sound of its growl, Li Yi who was standing at a distance could feel his soul flowing out of his body.
It was a Level 100 Ancient-level boss, the Spirit King, Nikolas!
In the Invincible Continent, there were the Ancient-level bosses, the Black Dragon sibling duo of the Black Rock Mountain, but neither this place nor these bosses existed in the Western Continent. Instead, there was a powerful hidden world boss that rivalled the Black Dragon sibling duo in the Western Continent and that was the Spirit King, Nikolas.
It was not easy to summon Nikolas. It would only make an appearance when a certain number of its underlings were killed. Li Yi’s ultimate goal in killing the spirits was to summon this vicious beast out.
Nikolas had mad skills. As it was a spirit, it was immune to all P-ATKs. A pure P-class such as the Warrior could do no harm to it. Moreover, it possessed a ridiculously high resistance and immunity against certain attacks after it had sustained a certain degree of damage from them.
Nikolas had 50 million HP, half of the Black Dragon sibling duo but it did not mean that it was any less than them.
Onyxia spewed Dragon’s Breath. Seizing the first attack, tempestuous flames wrapped around Nikolas, dealing -12,321 damage.
“Stupid Black Dragon, daughter of Deathwing, how could you willingly serve a weak little human?”
Nikolas stretched out its giant arm to grab Onyxia.
Onyxia swiftly moved away. Alas, Nikolas’ giant arm was capable of stretching out limitlessly at a faster speed. Pft! Onyxia was captured by the giant hand.
Szh! Szh! Szh! Szh!
Dozens of Flame Arrows aimed at Nikolas’ hand managed to set it on fire.
The Inextinguishable Tinder was amazing due to its ability to spontaneously combust, and that its flames extinguished ten times slower than a regular flame.
Nikolas retrieved its hand in pain and stared at it in shock.
With the flame still burning, damage value kept emerging above its head, -974, -854…
Nikolas slid its other hand across it and managed to put out the flame.
It then opened its mouth to laugh out loud.
Damage numbers kept appearing above Li Yi’s head and even the spy in the clouds was not spared, as their HP dropped alongside Nikolas’ roar of laughter.
Nikolas’ famed laughter was called Spirit Song. There was no ATK range but any creatures who caught an earful of its laughter would lose HP. It was one of its killer moves.
There was no escaping Spirit Song. Taking it head on, Li Yi downed a bottle of Divine Essence to resist Nikolas’ laughter.
Suddenly, Nikolas’ body ruptured into streaks of black clouds at the end of the song. These black clouds spread out, engulfing Unsolid Ground in seconds.
The streaks randomly wafted about as if in a disorderly manner but were actually linked together.
Trapped within the black clouds, Li Yi cautiously positioned himself, following the movements of the black clouds.
Contact with a black cloud would cause HP to decrease by half regardless of the amount. If the contact was more than 2 seconds, there was no chance of surviving.
Soon, the black clouds covered the earth and the sky.
The Western Continent player hiding within the white clouds was out of luck. As he was unaware of the black clouds’ capabilities, he made no attempts to evade. Hence, he was found dead 2 seconds later…
His corpse plummeted from the sky, crashing straight onto the ground…
Paying no notice, Li Yi’s full attention was on dodging the ever-moving black clouds.
The cage of black clouds lasted for five minutes. The smoke spun clockwise, then counterclockwise before finally, crystallizing back into Nikolas in a huff.
“Weak human, all struggles are futile before the great Spirit King. Give up and become part of me, pledging your eternal loyalty to me.”
Nikolas panted. Temptation was written all over his voice.
Bp! Bp! Bp! Bp!
Li Yi replied with a series of Flame Meteor Arrows. This time, its chest, rather than its hand was the target.
Nikolas’ weak point was not its head but the core of its soul, situated in the heart. As long as the heart was hit, it would cause genuine damage.
[-54432]
[-56653]
[-57664]
[-120234]
Four Flame Meteor Arrows struck Nikolas’ soul core, dealing incredibly high damage.
Nikolas pressed its hand on its chest, concealing its weak spot as it bellowed, “Wretched human, how despicable…”
Li Yi summoned Mutated Snow Eagle and ordered Onyxia to glide towards Nikolas while he fired Star Arrows violently at it.
No matter how high the damage above Nikolas’ head, all efforts were futile if its core was not struck.
“Damn it, I’m going to eat you!”
Yelled Nikolas as it extended its arms to capture Onyxia. At that moment, its soul core was exposed.
Mutated Snow Eagle let out a gentle shriek before flying at a speed of light towards Nikolas’ chest to peck at the soul core.
Mutated Snow Eagle was not proficient in group attacks but the damage it dealt was terrifyingly high. One peck was at least 20 thousand in damage. Enduring the pain, Nikolas tried to whack Mutated Snow Eagle away.
At that moment, Onyxia took a deep breath in to unleash Raging Breath 3 seconds later. The raging flames mostly hit Nikolas’ soul core.
Taking another hit on its soul core, Nikolas cried out in pain as it hugged its chest and tightened its body.
“Damn it, I am the Spirit King. You think… that you can crush me by attacking my weakness? It’s useless…”
Nikolas shouted as it loosened its grip. In plain view, the soul core on its chest gradually dissolved into its body. This meant that its weakness was disappearing…
Li Yi activated God Mode and with the Hunter Goddess embracing him, he flew near Nikolas. His heart beating fast, Li Yi fixated his gaze on the soul core on Nikolas’ chest. It was only when the soul core completely disappeared that he took out the Dark Contract Scroll and opened it up…
“Seal!”
The Dark Contract Scroll produced a peculiar suction force, pulling the huge Nikolas into it. First, it was its giant hands sucked into it, then its arms, head…
“No, what is this? It’s eating my powers? No…”
Nikolas put up a fight, but its resistance was nothing against the force of the Dark Contract Scroll. In a flash, it was sealed inside it.
Tst—
Nikolas’ body was out of sight and an icon of the ferocious-looking Spirit King appeared on the Dark Contract Scroll.
The seal was a success!
All smiles, Li Yi stored the Dark Contract Scroll.
Nikolas was indeed powerful. If he were to play by the books, Li Yi plus another ten thousand elites were no match to it. The reason was simple. This monster was immune to all special abilities. As the battle went on, it would grow immune to every possible attack and in the end, it would the players who were worn to death.
He did not use a bug but took advantage of a game setting when it came to sealing Nikolas earlier. When Nikolas’ soul core was hit the first time, it became weak and the use of Dark Contract Scroll at that time would unleash its full potential.
Although sealing it proved effective this time, Li Yi was not confident he could pull it off again. After all, the chances of sealing monsters were not guaranteed without a 100% success rate.
“Where’s the monster? Where’s the monster? Where’s the monster? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?”
The Western Continent player who was secretly filming was back from his corpse run. He forcefully rubbed his eyes, disbelief at the sight.
Nikolas was gone, so was Dark Wing. Everything was gone in a blink of an eye.
“What happened? Damn it! I didn’t manage to capture the most crucial bit,” The Western Continent player cursed under his breath.
While this Western Continent player was corpse running, Li Yi had rubbed on Reusable Teleportation Stone to return to the Invincible Continent. His purpose to come to Unsolid Ground was to seal Nikolas and with that accomplished, there was no need to remain here.
The Iron Alliance and the Whole of Windcloud’s foreign land alliance had officially begun. On the second day of the alliance, Brother Windcloud Nine announced the Whole of Windcloud’s participation in the Throne-claiming War to seize the crown from Reigning the World.
This information stirred an uproar in the community. Prior to the Iron Alliance and the Whole of Windcloud’s collaboration, the Whole of Windcloud and Reigning the World were the best of friends. Even Night Moon herself had said that she trusted the Windcloud Clan the most when she claimed the throne.
She was most wary of the Legendary Tribe and Undefeatable Legends.
However, the tables had turned. The Windcloud Clan whom she trusted the most had declared their participation for the crown.
All because of Dark Wing!
Night Moon was fully aware of the reason behind the Windcloud Clan’s sudden change of stance.
The next day, Night Moon announced that Reigning the World would be joining forces with the Legendary Tribe and Undefeatable Legends to seize the crown!
The seemingly calm tide in the Western Continent had started to stir due to Li Yi’s interference…
