Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

"That's right, I discovered it by chance back then." Wu Zhan took the lead and walked in. "An ancient construct—the Mystic Artifact—sleeps inside. These things seem to be creations of a lost civilization, precise, powerful, and... following unique rules."

At the end of the passage was a huge circular hall, in the center of which stood two strangely shaped metal sculptures.

They are about two meters tall, made of brass, and resemble faceless warriors wearing retro armor. The joints are made of intricate gears, and they are surrounded by a faint magical aura. Their hands have been transformed into the shape of sword blades, and they look somewhat slender overall.

【Ancient Guardian Doll LV.10 (Elite)】

"Listen up, follow my guide and it'll be super easy! Otherwise, just figuring out the mechanics of these two things alone could take you ages!"

Wu Zhan lowered his voice: "These two puppets have a unique characteristic: they can exhibit two types of damage immunity, which alternate every fifteen seconds! You need to observe the light emanating from their faces. If it's yellow, they're immune to all types of physical damage; if it's blue, they're immune to all types of magical damage! But the problem is, the alternating immunity effects of the two puppets aren't synchronized! The time difference is five seconds! However, the immunity status is shared!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Nian immediately said, "So, only when their immunity effects are identical can this type of attack cause damage! And every 10 seconds, there's a 5-second output window?"

"Brilliant!" Wu Zhan praised, "But it's not over yet. To trigger the drop of mythical equipment, three conditions must be met:

1. Must be a single-player challenge;

2. You must kill both Mystics simultaneously within 2 minutes;

3. Throughout the entire battle, you cannot use any consumable items, including health potions, mana potions, or any consumable items that temporarily increase any attribute, or even have me apply buffs like Battle Cry to you beforehand.

Liu Nian nodded. He had a clear understanding of the most difficult mechanism, and he felt that it would be too embarrassing if he still couldn't do it.

"How is it? Can you do it?" Wu Zhan asked.

"What are the health and damage of this thing? Do you know its detailed skills?" Liu Nian asked again.

"Their attack power is less than 200, and both have 3500 HP, which isn't particularly high for a level 10 elite monster. However, their defense is very high, basically able to negate more than 40% of physical damage and 50% of magical damage," Wu Zhandao said. "As for their skills, I remember both are melee-type, basically the same moves as low-level swordsmen, and the order of their moves is exactly the same, except that one attacks 5 seconds later than the other."

Liu Nian listened attentively. Wu Zhan was indeed a master. If you didn't know these mechanics beforehand, these two things would be really difficult for ordinary players to deal with!

"Let's go when we're ready!" Wu Zhan retreated to the entrance.

Liu Nian's eyes narrowed, and he strode forward. As soon as he stepped into the circular arena area, the secret puppet was activated.

The lights on the faces of the two puppets lit up one after the other, one yellow and the other blue!

They approached with heavy steps.

Liu Nian stood quietly in place.

He did not intend to follow the strategy of Wu Zhan.

After figuring out the mechanics, it was actually quite simple for Liu Nian to deal with these two monsters. He didn't need to care about their immunity mechanisms at all, because his deliberate punch was a true injury!

As the two puppets approached him, Liu Nian silently calculated the distance and their movement speed.

"The movement speed is slow, which is understandable, after all, they are two metal lumps..."

When the 10 seconds were up, the light in the eyes of the two mystic puppets turned the same yellow!

"Unstoppable!"

Without hesitation, Liu Nian transformed into a shooting star and crashed into it!

boom!

-843! -843!

Both mystical golems lost a quarter of their health bars at the same time!

And it was thrown into the air!

After they landed, Liu Nian punched them all once more!

Duang ~

Duang ~

Two sounds.

Although it did not cause any damage, it triggered the effect of Heart Steel.

[Heart of Steel activated, Health +105]

[Heart of Steel activated, Health +105]

Then the attacks from the Mystic Puppet followed.

The Puppet's two arms can attack simultaneously, and at a pretty fast pace!

Moreover, unlike living organisms, their lower bodies remain still while their upper bodies can rotate 360 ​​degrees, unleashing moves similar to whirlwind slashes.

-103-103-102-105-120-

Liu Nian neither dodged nor evaded, taking the damage head-on!

His health was quickly reduced by more than 1000 points...

But that's not enough!

His fighting spirit hasn't reached its maximum yet!

Wu Zhan watched the battle from the sidelines, his face turning pale with fright.

What's this kid doing? Why is he just sitting still and getting beaten up?

At this rate, he'll be dead in 5 seconds!

Just as he was about to shout, he suddenly saw Liu Nian change his posture, take a step back with his right foot, and pull his right fist back to gather power!

"Wrong timing!" Wu Zhan slapped his thigh, exasperated. "This kid talks a good game, but when it comes to actual execution... damn it!! Damn it!"

When Wu Zhan saw Liu Nian unleash a punch, it was as if the air in front of him had been shattered!

With a bang, two terrifying numbers simultaneously popped up above the heads of the two mystical puppets:

-1182!

-1182!

What the hell is this kind of harm?

No! The attack duration hasn't even reached 5 seconds, so why is the damage already taking effect?

The white damage numbers... are they real damage?

This is fucking outrageous!

Who is a good person who can deal over 1200 true damage in a single punch when they are at level 8?

I never expected this kid to have such a terrifying ultimate move hidden inside!

Wu Zhan was utterly dumbfounded!

After that punch, the health bars of the two marionettes immediately dropped to less than half.

The light in the pupils of the two mystical puppets turned blue, and Liu Nian used Soul Absorption Strike on one of them!

-390!

+97! (Life Steal)

Before the eyes change color, unleash two more normal attacks on the other puppet.

-123! 123!

Then he took off running...

"The two marionettes have 1072 and 1068 health points left respectively. They can wait for the next Deliberate Punch!" Liu Nian calculated clearly in his mind.

The cooldown of a level 1 Intentional Fist is 20 seconds.

He had already calculated the speed of those two puppets; they couldn't catch up with him at all!

After all, this thing has a brass body, which is very heavy, so it can't run fast at all.

Liu Nian took off firing, and the two puppets, with heavy steps, began chasing after him... but they couldn't catch up at all!

Wu Zhan was relieved at this moment.

He initially relied on speed to slowly figure out the mechanism of these two mystical puppets, but it still took him more than an hour to fully understand it.

He was already level 15 at that time.

As soon as the 20 seconds were up, Liu Nian immediately stopped!

The two marionettes attacked him again, but when his battle spirit bar was full again, Liu Nian unleashed another deliberate punch!

Bang! !

-1182!

-1182!

The two puppets shuddered, their eyes flashed intensely twice before going out completely, and then their bodies scattered into pieces on the ground!

[Successfully killed two Ancient Guardian Puppets simultaneously by a single player within 2 minutes!]

[Hidden conditions have been met!]

A dazzling golden beam of light shot into the sky from the remains of the two mystical puppets, illuminating the entire metal hall in a magnificent golden glow!

"Wow! The Golden Legend~~" This line involuntarily popped into Liu Nian's mind.
