Volume 20, Chapter 84: The final boss? Not like. 【】

"Egg!" Seeing the person coming out of the shadows, Prometheus obviously had a bad expression.

"Hey Prometheus, where are you going? Are you planning to do the Poseidon Temple mission again? You have failed three times. Will your guild's liquidity be enough to do it again? I'm listening. He said the deposit for the Poseidon Temple mission is very high.”

"you……"

Before Prometheus got into an argument with the other party, I turned around and asked, "Who is he?"

Although Prometheus was the first to scold the other person, he also knew that he could not offend me, so when he heard my question, he resisted the urge to retort and said in a low voice: "This guy's name is Egg, he is from Greece. The vice president of the fourth largest guild. Their guild has been competing with our guild for the third place in the country, so we have always been at odds with each other."

I nodded and said: "Since he is an unrelated person, then ignore him. We are not here to quarrel." After I said that, I shook the reins and the night shadow started to move, and Prometheus immediately moved after taking a look at the other party. Then he flicked the reins and urged the mount to move.

Egg over there was expecting to make Prometheus angry, but we didn't expect us to ignore him and leave directly. He immediately felt that his dignity had been insulted, so this guy immediately ran over and stood in front of us.

"Hey, Prometheus, why did you suddenly become so cowardly today? Aren't you usually quite arrogant?"

"you……"

Just as Prometheus was about to get angry, I warned him: "Don't pay attention to him. This guy is obviously trying to irritate you. No matter what he says, just treat it as a barking dog."

My voice was very low, so the guy in front didn't hear me. Prometheus also knew the severity, so he endured it again and prepared to follow me around. However, the guy in front probably made up his mind to die here today, so he didn't leave himself any room.

Seeing that Prometheus actually gave up the quarrel and went around after I said a word, he immediately pointed at me and Prometheus proudly and laughed: "Hahahaha, Prometheus, isn't this right? Is your new comrade? What's going on? Are you still in the honeymoon period? Otherwise, how could you become so obedient? Come on, tell me, who is the attacker and who is the receiver between you two? Hahahaha..."

The guy's crazy laughter stopped suddenly. The people following him had no idea what was going on. When they reacted, they saw that Egg was splitting into two pieces from the middle and falling to both sides, while I was Sheathing the sword.

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you leave quickly?" I reminded Prometheus, who was still in a daze, and I immediately drove Ye Ying to step forward over the other party's body.

Prometheus was stunned for several seconds before he suddenly reacted and quickly drove his mount to catch up. As for those who followed Egger, they finally reacted, but no one dared to move.

What I did just now was obviously not a skill, but just a normal attack. With so many people surrounding them, they didn't even see how I made the move. When I reacted, I was already sheathing my sword, which meant that my speed was already faster than their visual reaction speed. Moreover, the one that split Egg in half just now was obviously not a critical attack. After all, although the top of the head is very important, the defense is not weak, so it can be said to be able to split a large living person from the top of the head downwards. Two halves, this attack power is definitely over one million, and even if the attack power has just reached one million, it will definitely be a single blow to kill them, without any CS.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the group of Egger's men present naturally did not dare to move. With this level of lethality, anyone who goes up to it is likely to die.

While Egger's men were stunned in place, Prometheus had already caught up with me and rushed forward behind me. After passing the leveling zone of level 1,000, the monsters in the back gradually start to become more difficult to deal with, and Prometheus himself is only a little above level 1,200. He is considered a master in Greece, but in the world That is the level of powerful players in the second-tier camp. Facing various high-level monsters in front of him, Prometheus had no choice but to follow me, because it would take several minutes for him to fight any of these monsters to determine the winner, and even some It will only be normal. As we went deeper into the cave, Prometheus began to be completely afraid to approach those monsters. Now the monsters around us have risen to more than 1,800 levels. To me, there is no difference. They are still one by one. But to Prometheus, these monsters have become boss-level existences. If you hit him with any one of them, he will be drained of blood at once, and if you hit him a second time, he will die. And if you are unlucky and let the opponent get a critical hit or something, then it will really be a one-hit move.

Fortunately, our destination is not the deepest part of the cave. After receiving the Poseidon Temple mission scroll, you can open a branch route. This route will begin to branch when the main passage reaches the 1,800-level monster area. That is to say, the subsequent 2,000-level monster area, Prometheus, will not be used at all. go.

"Hey, how did you get to this position the first three times?" I asked curiously, looking at Prometheus who had been trying his best to hide next to me. After all, they came here on their own before, and there was no powerful person like me to escort them.

Hearing my question, Prometheus immediately smiled bitterly and said: "We are not as strong as you, so of course we pushed it over bit by bit by beating the boss!"

"Holy crap, how many people are going to die? Even if you cooperate well and don't kill anyone, the medicines will cost a lot of money, right?"

Prometheus smiled even harder after hearing this. "We spent a total of three days fighting from the level 1,000 monster area here. More than 600 people died in the process, and a total of 20,000 crystal coins were used for medicine. And this is only the cost price, after all, we are a guild medicine You can make it yourself. If you go out and buy it, the price will at least triple."

"You guys really have perseverance." I said, then I swung my sword and chopped a stone man who just came up to pieces into pieces, and then kicked a bull demon and knocked it back. He walked up to the overturned Bull Demon as if taking a walk, raised his sword with one hand, and the Bull Demon who had just gotten up immediately fell down again, covering his bleeding neck. Unlike Prometheus, which took three days and more than 600 people to die, my arrival here was as smooth as an understatement. Not to mention life-threatening, about one-third of the monsters in the cave didn't even dare to approach me. Although the remaining two-thirds could attack, they were quite hesitant. The power of the coercion attribute is not only effective in the city, but also effective on monsters in the wild.

"President Ziri, please stop laughing at us. If you were as powerful as you, we wouldn't have to work so hard!"

"I'm not laughing at you, I really appreciate you. Anyway, if it were me, I would never do this task with such a big loss, and do it three times."

After hearing what I said, Prometheus glanced at me suspiciously, and then showed excitement after confirming that I was not joking. After all, I am number one in the world's combat power list, and my Frost Rose Alliance is the most powerful guild in the world, so being able to receive my appreciation is also an honor in itself.

In fact, what I said is also half-truth and half-lie. I said that I would not take on a mission like Prometheus and others with such heavy casualties. This is true, but I do not respect their self-sacrifice at all. The rewards for developing this kind of map mission are not as much as what Prometheus and the others have paid for it. After the map is developed, the benefits are shared by the whole country, so apart from gaining some reputation, Prometheus and the others will not get anything substantial at all. The only mission rewards are not as much as the battle losses. Even if I were killed, I would not do such a loss-making business.

Of course, it doesn't mean that I won't take on map tasks, but I won't complete them independently with such losses like them. If I were to do it, I would first think of a way to reduce the investment, and then bring together the prestigious guilds across the country, and everyone would raise funds to share the investment equally. If we are strong enough and operate well during the battle, not only will we not have to lose money, but we can also make a lot of money in such a mission. Anyway, we won't end up as miserable as Prometheus and the others.

Prometheus was secretly proud of my appreciation when he suddenly heard me say: "Is this the mission crossroads?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

At this time, there was not a fork in the wall of the cave for us to take, but a small hole with a very strange shape. The entrance of this cave is in the shape of an irregular triangle, smaller than the screen of a mobile phone. If it were not for the clear location marked on the mission scroll, ten out of ten people would miss it because it looks too much like an ordinary rock on the wall. Tricked.

Although we have reached the fork in the road, we are not yet able to enter. We can only wait for one of the branch teams to complete their mission, and then the door can be opened.

It took Prometheus and the others three days of fighting to get here. The other branches didn't have to fight and were naturally much faster than them, so the door was already open when they arrived. But this time I was different, because we advanced so fast that we even reached the door, but the door hadn't opened yet.

"Strange, the door was already open when I came here last time." Prometheus looked at the closed stone door and asked questions as expected.

Before I could answer, a stone wall next to us suddenly made a banging sound, and then automatically retracted into the wall. Following the retraction, the entire stone wall rose upwards, revealing a stone wall more than two meters wide. , a small room only four or five meters deep.

There are three torches inserted into the wall in this room at this time. When the door is opened, the torches automatically burn. In addition, in addition to the three torches, there is also a gold key that is more than one meter long and two inches thick hanging on the wall. This big thing looks more like a smaller shield than a key when placed there, but it is indeed a key.

Prometheus immediately said after coming in: "Only one of these three torches can close the mechanism that protects the key, but its position is different every time. We have to wait for another team to find the literature about this thing, and then Only then can you know which torch to pull to turn off the mechanism. Your people have just gone out, and it is estimated that it will take a few hours for them to come back."

Ben and I didn't listen to what Prometheus said. We walked directly to a torch on the left, pulled it down, and then turned it clockwise twenty-five degrees. There was a click, and the golden key hanging on the wall in front suddenly rose a little.

"Okay, you can take it." I reminded Prometheus aloud.

"Ah, just as if he woke up from his sleep, Prometheus hurriedly ran over and took the key down. Although this thing is quite heavy, the physical fitness of the whole family in the game is not comparable to that in reality. This golden key is in reality I'm afraid you can only use a crane or a truck to move it, but here, Prometheus can take it away alone. Of course, even if his physical strength has increased a lot, the golden key is about the same size as a small shield. Still under pressure, Prometheus had to stagger out with his arms hanging down like a gorilla. Fortunately, the straight-line distance between where the key is used and where it is placed is only a little more than two meters. It is estimated that if the distance is more than At five meters, Prometheus had no choice but to give up.

After finally getting the key out of the secret room on the cave wall, Prometheus was already panting from exhaustion. Watching him come out, I contacted another branch team through telepathic contact, and then told them that we had the key. The other side showed understanding and cut off the communication, and then the stone gate in front of us lowered again. However, when the door was lowered, another small hole opened in the wall next to it.

This time the hole was not much bigger than a computer monitor and only half a meter deep. It was obviously not meant for people to walk through. I walked over and lifted the key from Prometheus's hand that almost broke his waist, then pointed it at a keyhole in the hole and inserted it.

This key is actually a magic key and does not need to be turned at all. After inserting the key, I let go and waited. After about a minute, the lid of the small hole automatically closed again, and then a triangular metal pillar suddenly stretched out from the top of the hole. Since the lower part of this thing is made of rock, it was not visible at all when it was embedded in the roof of the cave. We didn't discover it until it protruded out of the rock layer.

I jumped up and grabbed the triangular metal pillar, then pulled it down by gravity, and pulled out the metal rod with a crack. We took the metal rod and walked to the triangular opening on the previous cave wall, then inserted the metal rod and pushed it to the bottom. With the sound of the chain turning, we clearly felt the ground shaking violently, and then under our feet The ground suddenly began to move to both sides, revealing a downward staircase. This is what is called a fork in the road.

After seeing the entrance on the ground, Prometheus said: "We have accepted three missions. The missions at this cave entrance are different each time, and the locations of the previous mechanisms are not fixed. I didn't expect you to accept the first mission. At that time, it was actually exactly the same position as when we received the first mission.”

I nodded and said: "Maybe the system doesn't want you to use brute force to enter the later mission levels. After all, the rock formation is not too thick. Whether you use hammers and iron drills to slowly smash it, or use explosives to blast, as long as you find the right opponent, It can always be opened."

Prometheus nodded and said: "We analyzed it this way at the beginning."

I took the lead to walk down the stairs and said, "Okay, since this time is the same as the first mission you took, can you remind me of the next things?"

Prometheus nodded and said: "It's a pity that there is nothing to remind you later."

"Why?"

"Because there is only a maze at the back. After passing through it, there is a passage full of mechanisms and monsters. After passing through it, you will reach a hall. We were all stuck there the first three times."

After hearing Prometheus's narration, I looked back at him curiously, and then asked: "Are there many monsters in the hall? Why are they stuck there three times?"

"That's not true." Prometheus replied: "There are indeed monsters in the hall, but there is only a level 2,200 boss. It will summon its younger brothers, but there are not too many of them. The only trouble is that as long as that monster If it doesn’t die, it can be summoned continuously, so it is very difficult to consume.”

"Then it killed all of you?"

"No, we took it out."

I was even more curious after hearing this answer. "You killed it? Then why are you stuck?"

"I don't know." Prometheus replied helplessly: "We killed the monster, but we couldn't find the next step. Later, we dug through the entire hall, but we still found nothing. "

After hearing Prometheus' words, I couldn't help but start thinking. Obviously, Prometheus and the others had a problem in some part of the mission, otherwise they shouldn't be stuck in the plot. "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the previous parts?".

"Originally we were sure." Prometheus said: "But because we have been unable to pass the mission, we are not sure now."

I thought about it and asked, "Have you ever walked through that maze again?"

"You're saying that we actually took the wrong path in the maze, and even the passageways and halls at the back are actually part of the maze, right?"

"Have you also thought of this possibility?"

Prometheus nodded and said: "Yes, we also thought about this possibility later, so we simply used the human sea tactic to walk all the roads in the entire maze. The results confirmed that we were not wrong. All other routes were dead ends. , the path we took can leave the maze range, so the problem should not be in the maze level."

"Then there's something else wrong."

"Yes, we think so too, but the problem is that we don't know what went wrong."

While Prometheus and I were talking, the stairs had reached the bottom. The entrance above our heads was automatically closed shortly after we entered, but because the rocks in the cave are fluorescent, although the light is a bit dark, it does not affect the movement. Of course, this is mainly for Prometheus. I have dark vision anyway, so complete darkness is no big deal to me.

Less than two steps forward from the bottom of the stairs is the entrance to the maze. There is nothing special about the entrance itself, but it seems that the materials used to build the maze are different from the passage we are in now. The material of the passage we are in is just a common rock, but the maze is made of a dark green stone. In addition to emitting fluorescence, this stone seems to be very hard and has magic absorption properties.

After passing through the maze door, which is not wide, you will find a small room. There is a red stone tablet standing in the middle of the room. There is a sentence engraved on the front of the stone tablet, which reads: "The purpose of the maze is to confuse your perception and make you unable to Know the way forward." It seems that this sentence has special meaning, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing special about it. Prometheus' explanation for this was to deliberately create trouble for those who entered, but I think this sentence should have other meanings, but I haven't figured out what it means yet.

Because Prometheus and the others followed the same maze route during their three missions, this time we still ran it according to the route that Prometheus and the others found in advance, and we passed it smoothly.

Behind the maze is the mechanism passage, but there is no change. Because Prometheus remembers the order of the mechanisms, it is super easy to crack. Even if a monster occasionally appears, I can hack it to death in twos and threes without posing an obstacle at all.

After passing through the agency passage, we entered the final hall smoothly. This place is a circular stone cave. Its area is probably several times larger than the Colosseum in Rome. The height is also quite amazing. Although I didn't measure it, I feel that it should be high enough even for aerobatic performances here. .

The floor of the cave has obviously been artificially smoothed. The ground is a whole piece of polished rock. Although it is not said how smooth it is, at least it will not affect the movement. At this time, a monster over eighty meters tall and covered in heavy plate armor stood in the center of the stone hall.

This guy's body structure is similar to that of a werewolf. He walks upright on two legs, with his body slightly arched forward and a big tail trailing behind him. However, the significant difference from the werewolf is that his figure is not as slender as the werewolf. This guy is quite stout. Although he is more than eighty meters tall, he looks short and dumpy. In addition, his head and tail clearly show that this is a reptilian monster, because his head resembles the head of a giant dragon, and his tail is also a dragon's tail. There are some differences between the limbs and the giant dragon, but if you look closely, you will find that the difference is not big, except that its forelimbs are closer to human palms and seem to be more suitable for grasping.

The height of more than eighty meters and the stocky body already show that this is a very durable guy, but what makes me even more dizzy is that this thing is actually wearing armor. Although that armor probably has no attributes at all, even if it is just ordinary iron skin, the defense is enough to give people a headache. After all, it was armor up to two meters thick! The alloy exterior walls of bank vaults are not that exaggerated, right?

"Hey, Prometheus, you're not fooling me, are you? How did you kill this thing in the first place?"

Prometheus actually knew that I would be suspicious after seeing the appearance of this monster, because they were also shocked at first. Not to mention that this guy is covered in nearly two meters of metal armor. Even if he wears nothing, given his size, how much damage can a long sword cause if it is pierced into his body? Based on its size, it is estimated that it has just reached the level of piercing the epidermis, right? If we want to kill it, how big a weapon would we need?

Because he had known that I would be suspicious, Prometheus immediately pointed at the monster's hands and feet and said to me when I asked: "I'm not lying. This monster looks powerful, but it's not actually very scary. We did it before Most of the people who died in the mission died in the leveling area outside. No one really died in this place. Did you see that guy's hands and feet?"

I followed Prometheus's fingers and found something abnormal. After working for a long time, the monster was not scattered here. His wrists and ankles were covered with a thick metal ring, and the metal ring was also connected to a metal chain as thick as a locomotive. As for the other end of the chain, It's fixed to the wall behind. Looking at the length of this metal chain, this guy can only walk a dozen meters away from such a gate before being unable to move forward. In other words, as long as you don't rush in stupidly, stand at the door and use long-range attacks to greet the opponent, the opponent will not be able to move forward at all. There's nothing you can do about it.

"That's not right! Even if that guy can't attack here, can you break his defense?"

"Originally we thought we couldn't break through his defense, but later we found out that when he summoned his younger brothers to attack us, as long as we killed those younger brothers, he would be injured, and if we killed a thousand of them, he would transform. Disappear for the stars.”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately became excited, then turned around suddenly, grabbed the edge of Prometheus' armor, shook it desperately, and asked: "Holy crap, where is the body of this thing? Tell me quickly, I want to catch the demon Pet!"

Prometheus just said that this guy will summon his little brother, and then he will be injured after the little brother is killed. If he kills a thousand, he will turn into starlight and disappear. What does this mean? This shows that the monster in front of him is not the real body at all, but a projection, a projection of power. The real guy is at least ten times more powerful than the current projection. As for Prometheus' so-called younger brother, he is simply an energy clone. Because the projection itself is an energy body, the projection will naturally disappear after the clone consumes the light. This phenomenon also explains very well why the other party would be so stupid that he summoned his younger brother to die.

According to general thinking, although this guy can't hit the person at the door, the person at the door can't hurt him. But after he summoned the clone, he actually became weaker and was easily killed. It may seem like the monster is stupid, but that's not the case at all. He is basically a projection of power, so he is not afraid of death at all, and instead of standing still and being beaten, he spreads out and rushes forward. Even if he kills one more enemy, it is a victory. Therefore, it is actually a normal decision for the monster to clone itself.

Prometheus, who was dazed by my shaking, grabbed my hand and shouted: "Stop shaking, I'm going to vomit! Even if you shake me away, I don't know!"

I put Prometheus back on the ground, and then said: "Since you don't know, then I'll let him tell me." As I said that, I pulled out Eternity and started walking towards the monster.

Prometheus had just been put down and his head was still awake. Hearing my words to let the monster speak for itself, he first said "hmm", then when he saw me walking over, he suddenly remembered and called me back, but I had already entered The monster's range of activities was restricted, and I didn't listen to Prometheus at all, so he wanted to pull me over again, but he didn't dare to move. After all, the size of the monster is too scary, and you can tell by looking at it that it is no match. After thinking for a long time, Prometheus finally gave up. He comforted himself helplessly: "Forget it, just die if you want! I don't have to worry about myself, so why should I be anxious? I'm really full. of!"
