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

The further in you fly, the thicker the fog becomes, eventually turning into a grayish-white, deathly mist that feels like swallowing ice crystals when you inhale it.

The river widened, and the terrain on both banks changed from hills to steep cliffs. The black rocks were covered with pale white vines, like countless withered fingers gripping the rock face.

The sounds of fighting grew closer.

Liu Nian passed through the last patch of mist, and suddenly the view opened up before him—then he froze.

A huge black figure, almost covering the entire river surface, was churning wildly on the water.

It was a whale, the size of a small warship, covered in jet-black bone armor, with dark purple necromantic energy flowing through the gaps in the armor.

Its eye sockets contained no eyeballs, only two dark blue ghost flames that pulsed violently, each pulse accompanied by a ring of icy soul fire exploding.

Riding on the back of this undead whale was a half-rotten lich.

A tattered, jet-black robe trimmed with silver patterns, a pale bone staff, a face half-skull and half-rotting, and one withered eye burning with a ghostly blue soul flame—

Liu Nian recognized him at a glance.

"Isn't that... Karon?!"

That's the same undead boss who was hiding like a coward at the bottom of Eternal Darkness Lake!

If they can't win a fight, they'll dive underwater; if that doesn't work, they'll hide under the city; and if the city gets destroyed, they'll open a portal and run away—they run away so decisively that they don't even want their own mount, the Void Giant Kun.

Unexpectedly, this guy not only hid in the underworld, but also got an undead whale as a mount.

Well, old Kawhi, you've really gone head-to-head with the whale.

Liu Nian glanced at the level above Kalon's head—level 450, legendary BOSS.

It's so much stronger than when it was level 92!

Yeah, I always thought this guy was weird. What boss would abandon their own base and run away?

He's fought so many bosses, but it seems he's only encountered three.

Charon the Whale Rider, the King of Boiling, and Pharaoh Amenhotep.

Leaving aside the King of Boiling, he was only allowed to escape when we were capturing the Demon Jellyfish; otherwise, the Giant would have swallowed him whole.

Both Karon and Amenhote escaped directly across dimensions.

But Pharaoh Amenhotep is a world boss, capable of determining the direction of a realm's storyline.

What gives you, Caron, the right?

The group of players who were locked in a fierce battle with Caron were quite interesting.

More than eighty Colossus warriors, averaging over three meters tall, were made entirely of dark gray granite, with intricate brass gears and rivets embedded in their joints, making them appear as a mixture of some ancient construct and earth element.

Their bodies glowed with an earthy yellow light, and large slabs of rock floated haphazardly on the river surface—these guys had actually blocked off the entire river with rocks, cutting off the path for Karon's undead whales to dive underwater.

"He's got some skills," Liu Nian thought to himself.

But that's about it.

Eighty people tried to take down a level 450 legendary boss, but after a long time, they still couldn't defeat it. Instead, they were outmaneuvered by Kalon.

The undead whale had thick skin and flesh; its bone armor would shatter and grow back layer by layer. Kalon hid on the whale's back, sometimes throwing death rays and sometimes summoning water elementals, making the group of stone golems howl, but they just couldn't touch him.

Liu Nian's twelve wings of light were like high-powered light bulbs, and his whole body was burning with dazzling holy light.

His arrival immediately alarmed both sides in the conflict.

The leading colossus warrior instinctively raised his massive rock hammer at Liu Niandi, but stopped halfway up. A very human-like expression appeared on his granite face—the kind that says, "Holy crap, who the hell is this?"

"Who...who are you?" His deep, resonant voice came from the depths of his throat.

Moreover, these stone golems don't seem to be very bright; they actually split off half of them to defend against Liu Nian stealing the BOSS halfway!

The problem is, you're already getting wrecked by Charon, and if you split your resources in half again, won't that just lead to complete collapse?!

Sure enough, the undead whale suddenly swung its tail, swatting away the giants surrounding it. Then, Kalon summoned a huge wave that surged forth, carrying countless sharp fish bones, which swept towards the giants!

Then the old guy rode the whale, swung his bone staff, cast an anti-gravity spell on the whale, and sped away!

He didn't recognize Liu Nian, but seeing Liu Nian's level 800 angelic appearance, he sensed something was wrong, so he immediately seized the opportunity to run away!

Liu Niandu laughed.

Has Kalon put all his skill points into running away? He runs away at the first sign of trouble; he's even more slippery than an eel.

Let's just call you "Kapapa" (卡跑跑).

"Stay here!"

Ignoring the reactions of the Colossus players, Liu Nian's twelve wings of light left a white afterimage as he sped towards Kalon!

Watching the two figures disappear in the blink of an eye, the Colossus players looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

Caron was fast, but Liu Nian was even faster!

With the Eternal Set and Arachne's constant buffs, he was about to catch up.

Kalon quickly shoved the whale into the water!

Liu Nian thought to himself, "This is just a river. No matter how you get into the water, where can you go?"

After chasing for a while, a vast lake suddenly appeared ahead. Liu Nian realized something was wrong and immediately summoned the Giant!

He also went into the water, allowing the giant to chase after him!

The moment the giant saw Caron, its rage surged to its maximum, and it became much faster than usual.

When Kalon saw the appearance of the Void Giant Kun, he was clearly taken aback.

In just a short while, the giant bit into the tail of the whale in front of it, and with one bite, it bit off a third of the rotten skeleton.

Then the behemoth pounced, opened its huge mouth, and regardless of whether there was rotten flesh on the other side, it was ready to swallow the undead whale in front of it along with Charon into its belly!

A flicker of fear crossed Kalon's eyes. He immediately abandoned his mount, swung his bone staff, and instantly left the lake, appearing in mid-air.

However, Liu Nian is no longer the same as before. The Eternal Night Curtain locked onto Kalon, and at the same moment Kalon appeared in mid-air, he appeared behind Kalon and threw a punch. The holy light attached to his fist directly ignited Kalon.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Karon let out a piercing scream as he was scorched by the holy light.

"Damn it! You damned scum! You actually... ruined... my..."

Amidst the heart-wrenching roar, Liu Nian was astonished to discover that Karon, who was burning with holy light, not only did not die, but his figure grew taller and taller, eventually transforming into a death god tens of meters tall, wielding a scythe, with his entire body covered in white holy fire!

As he made a downward slashing gesture, the holy fire on his body was completely driven away by the black flames, and what appeared in front of Liu Nian was a shadowy figure holding a huge dark gold scythe, hidden under a cloak.

【LV600 Death Avatar - Charon (Eternal BOSS)】

"Holy crap?" Liu Nian exclaimed, "There was an unexpected bonus?"
