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

The BOSS is now dead.

Only Liu Nian slowly withdrew his fist, his proud figure standing tall.

[Hellish Curse in effect! Armor and spells +6.]

Your level has increased to 18.

You have earned the title: Warrior in the Dark.

[Title: Warrior in the Darkness]

[Effect: Provides night vision in dark areas.]

This is a very useful title, especially for those who operate here.

After the BOSS fell, a large number of items were dropped, but unfortunately, no Mythic equipment appeared. However, there were a few Epic equipment pieces that could replace the miscellaneous items on Liu Nian's body.

With Krakenis's complete death, the massive amount of experience points caused Liu Nian to flash with the light of leveling up, reaching level 18.

At the same time, a dazzling array of light burst from the ground.

A brief silence fell over the cave, and even the annoying echoes from the Echo Corridor seemed to have lessened considerably.

Wu Zhan didn't immediately check what had been revealed. Instead, he strode over to Liu Nian and punched him hard on the shoulder (damage -1, ^-^), his face filled with barely suppressed excitement and lingering fear: "You brat! Don't be so reckless next time! A boss battle isn't something you have to win on the first try! That was really... too close! My heart almost jumped out of my chest that last time!"

He let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with astonishment: "But you... you're simply a human beast! A level 22 regional boss, second phase, you just brute-forced it! Even at my peak, I wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing!"

Zhao Xinchun also came over, her gaze towards Liu Nian completely different now, filled with a hint of awe and utter admiration: "Thanks, Xiao Nian. I, Zhao Xinchun, rarely admire anyone, but today I truly admire you! If it weren't for you stepping in at the last moment, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed!"

Although Chen Suan didn't say anything, he was silently calculating in his heart: "Incredible resilience and explosive power... Give him time, this kid will definitely be stronger than Wang Mu!"

Although the system notification indicated a team kill... what's the difference between this and Liu Nian soloing the BOSS? Chen Suan felt that even without his healing and the assistance of others, Liu Nian could still kill the BOSS on his own!

Wow, this guy's really something!

Faced with his teammates' heartfelt praise and comments, Liu Nian smiled a little shyly and scratched his head: "Everyone cooperated well, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to deal damage. It's mainly because this BOSS is fragile in the second phase, and I got lucky."

"You call this getting a bargain?" Wu Zhan chuckled and shook his head. "Alright, stop being modest. You deserve the most credit; no one can deny that. Let's take a look at our spoils!"

Sun Yao stared at the pile of items that had exploded: "Liu Nian, boss, look, isn't that an egg?"

"A pet egg!" Zhao Xinchun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Even in Azure Town, players who own battle pets are extremely rare, let alone pets dropped by bosses!

Wu Zhan took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Liu Nian: "Liu Nian, your contribution in this battle is undeniable. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to kill anyone, let alone escape unscathed. According to the rules of our Newcomer Guild, the one who contributes the most has the right of first choice. This pet egg should rightfully be decided by you first."

Liu Nian glanced at the round, basketball-sized, pure white pet egg, his eyes gleaming.

This boss is actually very strong, with amazing defensive capabilities and unparalleled burst damage in its second phase. It is indeed an invaluable helper.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and immediately nodded, saying:

"Okay, I'll take this pet egg."

Then, Wu Zhan stepped forward and began to examine the dropped items one by one:
