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

Zhao Xinchun reacted extremely quickly, using a Shadow Step to forcibly shift his position, narrowly missing the edge of the sonic cannon.

The sound waves plowed a shallow trench in the ground where she had been standing, sending sand and gravel flying.

"That move was incredibly fast, and it covered a huge area!" Zhao Xinchun reported, still shaken. "I only grazed it and lost over 200 health points. I reckon a direct hit would take away half my health!"

"Watch your positioning!" Wu Zhan quickly commanded. "Chen Suan, cast a magic shield and cover on her."

At this moment, Liu Nian made a move.

He immediately activated [Shadow Strike], and his figure appeared instantly behind the BOSS like a ghost.

With a single punch, the Earthshaker slammed down with a whooshing sound!

-465!

The damage was dealt, but almost simultaneously, the BOSS's shell resonated again.

hum!

Liu Nian felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, and a rebound damage of [-210] appeared above his head.

It seems that the closer the distance, the higher the damage from this sonic wave!

woo~~~~~~

The enormous claw, as big as a cannon barrel, slammed down on Liu Nian's head!

Liu Nian certainly didn't dare to take it head-on. This thing was too big; if it hit him on the head, he would probably be stunned.

So they quickly moved aside.

But after the giant claw landed, it caused a loud bang, and a shockwave rippled through the surrounding area, followed by an invisible sound wave emanating from the ground.

Liu Nian felt a buzzing in his head, but quickly came back to his senses.

At this moment, red dots appeared on the giant object's body, and Liu Nian naturally followed up with a punch without hesitation!

Duang~~~

[Heart of Steel activated, HP +980!]

"Holy crap!" Liu Nian exclaimed in surprise. What kind of buff was this? It almost added 1000 HP!

Based on this calculation, this thing's health points should exceed 3!

At least 32,000 or more!

Thinking of this, he immediately unleashed an unstoppable, soul-draining strike!

-4685!

-1325!

After making those two moves, Liu Nian immediately made a run for it!

The BOSS's health bar had visibly decreased.

"HP 30000+!" Liu Nian reported loudly.

Then, Zhao Xinchun appeared above the BOSS's head at some unknown time and unleashed a powerful attack, instantly reducing the BOSS's health by over 2000.

But at this moment, the BOSS's body trembled, his buttocks sticking out, and he suddenly started spraying small crabs wildly from his anus!

"Damn it, they've laid eggs! Quick, clear out the mobs!" Wu Zhan shouted.

He was worried that the boss might trigger some kind of mechanic when it summoned minions.

"Leave it to me!" Liu Nian dealt with the monster very quickly.

At this moment, the two dwarfs began to exert their strength. They threw concussion grenades at the BOSS, and at the same time threw out silencing field devices. As a result, the damage caused by sound to everyone was greatly reduced for a short period of time.

However, these two NPCs seem to be limited by the game mechanics, as they do not provide offensive capabilities and are only supportive. Moreover, the silencing field they throw out requires players to use their positioning skills.

Just as Liu Nian was clearing out the endless stream of small predator crabs like a whirlwind, Wu Zhan and the others were engaged in a tough tug-of-war with Krakenis.

"Hold on!!" Wu Zhan raised his shield to block the BOSS's heavy physical slashes. Each collision made his arm go numb, and his health was barely maintained by Chen Suan's continuous healing and his own movement.

This is because Wu Zhan is highly skilled and daring. If it were any other level 15 player who dared to withstand the attack of a level 22 BOSS, they would have been smashed to pieces long ago!

Zhao Xinchun moved like a shadow around the BOSS, searching for the tiny gaps where the shell and joints connected.

Sun Yao then abandoned the fireball spell and instead used ice magic to apply debuffs to the BOSS.

Chen Suan was under the most pressure. He not only had to maintain Wu Zhan's health, but also had to pay attention to the status of all his teammates at all times, using [Healing Totem] and [Group Rejuvenation] to stabilize the team's health.

You can't die easily in this game, because if you die, you really have to start all over again from level 0!

Therefore, although his mana was being depleted rapidly like a floodgate being opened, he dared not stop and could only keep taking pills to keep going!

Fortunately, Krakenis's health bar decreased slowly and steadily thanks to the team's coordinated efforts.

70%... 65%... 50%...

When the BOSS's health dropped to about 40%, it raised its body again, and the resonance chamber vibrated violently—[High-frequency shriek]!

"Cover your ears! Find cover!" Wu Zhan roared, activating his damage reduction skill at the same time.

The [Tranquility Totem] that Chen Suan had placed beforehand emitted a soft light, slightly reducing the duration of the chaos.

Zhao Xinchun and Sun Yao quickly crawled under a pale snail shell that was taller than a person to avoid the 10-second area-of-effect sonic damage.

Over here, Liu Nian had just cleared out all the mobs, but seeing this, he didn't hesitate and used [Shadow Strike] again to rush towards the BOSS!

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz~~"

-102

-122

-106

-138

-144

…………

Amidst the strange, piercing screams...

Liu Nian's health began to drop rapidly.

He deliberately took the harm.

Chen Suan was getting anxious, thinking to himself, "How could this person be so reckless..." He wanted to throw a powerful single-target heal at him, but as soon as he did, his mana was depleted! Then the others would be in danger!

Seemingly sensing Chen Suan's hesitation, Liu Nian waved his hand without turning around and said, "No need to treat me!"

Unfortunately, his voice couldn't reach Chen Suan's ears due to the interference of the high-frequency shrieking, but Chen Suan still understood his actions.

Therefore, the healing spell was not given to Liu Nian.

Liu Nian, enduring the damage, launched a frenzied attack. Seeing that his battle spirit was full and the giant crab's health was less than a third, he immediately unleashed a combo that required no explanation:

Unstoppable force + deliberate punch + soul-draining blow!

-5178 (magic damage)

-11063! (True damage)

-1390! (Physical damage)

The giant crab's voice stopped abruptly, and its health points instantly dropped to zero!

Chen Suan saw it clearly.

The health bar was still so long... and it just disappeared like that?

It instantly took away more than a third of his health!

"Killed in seconds?!"

Did they actually defeat the newly encountered BOSS in one go?!

Liu Nian's expression changed, and he immediately retreated rapidly!

Because his Soul-Draining Strike didn't work!

This means that this thing is not dead!

"Could it be..." Liu Nian's expression changed.

"Click...click..."

Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds came from the huge body lying on the ground!

The thick shell split open from the middle, revealing a smaller, but more agile, predatory crab with a dark red shell that suddenly sprang out from the broken shell!

【Echo Weaver Krakenis (Mortal Form) LV. 22 (BOSS - Phase 2)】

"Damn! There's a second stage..."
