Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

We passed through the dark blue teleportation light curtain.

Su Chen's boots made a crunching sound as they hit the ground.

The forty-nine senior elites who followed him in single file were immediately greeted by a stench of blood and decay that was a hundred times stronger than that of the outer city.

The dim light in the inner city was transformed into a suffocating dark red here.

Chen Shan held up the tower shield and cautiously looked down at his feet.

What was laid on the ground was not stone bricks at all, but a thick layer of grayish-white ashes that reached above the ankles.

The once magnificent palace complex is now tightly bound by dark red abyss vines as thick as blood vessels, and the walls are densely covered with dried corpses.

"This...this is the core of the fallen capital..."

Zhang Ming pushed up his broken glasses on the bridge of his nose, his voice trembling slightly.

Just two seconds after they had clearly seen their surroundings.

In mid-air, an extremely dazzling red light flashed wildly like an alarm!

[Warning! Four outer corrupted nodes have been detected and rapidly destroyed!]

[The abyssal energy has lost its channel, causing severe backflow; the energy concentration in the central royal city area has exceeded the critical value!]

[Environmental Anomaly Triggered: Abyss Overload!]

[Abyss Overload (Global Buff): All abyssal monsters in this area gain a 300% increase in base stats and maximum health, and an additional 50% bonus to both physical and magical resistance!]

This series of red system notifications, like a screen-filling notification, appeared directly on everyone's retinas.

Dead silence.

The bosses, who had just been having the illusion that "this dungeon is nothing special" because of Su Chen's easy victory, were instantly stunned by these few lines of red text.

"Three...three times the attribute?!"

Chen Shan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. His prized berserker physique seemed utterly ridiculous in the face of these few lines of text.

"Maximum health increased by 300%? And an additional 50% increase in both physical and magical resistance?!"

Li Huo'er screamed, almost dropping her staff.

"Are you crazy?! Does anyone actually manage to clear this dungeon?!"

The assassin-type grass-like creature's defenses were instantly breached, and it cursed loudly, "The monsters in the outer city already had ridiculously high stats, and now that we're in the royal city, you're giving them a buff that triples all their stats?!"

"How the hell are we supposed to fight this?! We can't even break through their defenses!!"

The forty-nine people paced anxiously at the ash-covered ground, and a wave of despair washed over them once more.

They even began to wonder if even Su Shen would be overwhelmed by such unreasonable numerical inflation.

however.

Su Chen simply stood in front, waved his hand to disperse the cloud of poisonous miasma in front of him, and yawned somewhat boredly.

"Here we go again."

Su Chen pursed his lips.

He felt there was something seriously wrong with the mechanism when he soloed it last time.

Not only do they not reward you for pulling nodes quickly, but they also hoard all the energy to raise more monsters back in their hometown.

"Alright, stop yelling."

Without turning his head, Su Chen said, "Get into formation and push forward quickly. I need to get back to school for lunch."

The voice just fell.

The dark red fog ahead began to churn violently.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A heavy, rhythmic metallic scraping sound, accompanied by the tremors of the ground, came from the depths of the thick fog.

Several enormous black figures, each three meters tall, tore through the poisonous miasma and slowly emerged.

Those were three knights clad in tattered, dark gold heavy armor.

The warhorse had completely rotted away, leaving only a stark white skeleton, with a ghostly green flame burning in its eyes.

The knight held a four-meter-long rusted lance, with black viscous liquid dripping from its tip.

Behind them floated two mages dressed in tattered purple robes, their bodies semi-transparent.

Almost the instant the monster appeared, Zhang Ming instinctively cast a reconnaissance spell.

When the monster's panel was shared to the team channel, everyone held their breath.

【Abyss Royal Berserker Knight (Elite Monster)】

[Level: 60]

【Strength: 99000】

[Agility: 33000]

[Stamina: 120000]

【Spirit: 36000】

[Skills: Death Stomp, Fearless Charge, Heavy Armor Barrier]

……

[Abyss Court Mage (Elite Monster)]

[Level: 60]

【Spirit: 180000】

……

"120,000 stamina..."

Chen Shan stared at the Berserker's stats, his voice completely trembling, "Nearly 100,000 power... This... this is just an elite monster?!"

"That mage... has 180,000 spirit points..."

Li Huo'er gasped, feeling her worldview crumbling. "If it were to unleash a single skill, all fifty of us would be wiped out, not even ashes!"

"This is even stronger than the legendary-level bosses in the outer city!"

"We can't fight them! Absolutely not! Our attacks barely scratch them, probably only dealing a minimum of one point of damage!"

Fear, deep fear.

Faced with such absolute numerical superiority, any tactics and maneuvers become meaningless.

"roar--!"

The leading Royal Berserker Knight let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

A ghostly green flame of the soul suddenly rose up.

The three heavily armored knights simultaneously lowered their lances and launched the [Fearless Charge]!

boom!

The ashes on the ground were instantly blown away by the violent airflow.

Three black torrents of steel, carrying the kinetic energy to shred everything, crashed straight into Su Chen.

The two court mages behind them also raised their staffs, and the casting bar for [Shadow Burst] instantly began.

"Form ranks! Hold on! Hold on!"

Chen Shan roared in despair, raising his tower shield to rush forward and absorb the damage.

Although he knew that even with his strength of over three thousand, he would be instantly killed, he couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Did you guys take over?"

Su Chen's calm voice rang in Chen Shan's ears.

Faced with this terrifying combined attack, which could instantly annihilate a full complement of level 40 tanks.

Su Chen didn't even move his feet.

He simply raised his right hand.

A flash of fire.

boom--!

A dark red fireball, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures that distorted space, burst forth from the staff.

The speed is so fast that it cannot be captured by the naked eye.

"Bang!"

The fireball struck precisely the heavy armor of the Royal Berserker Knight charging at the forefront.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, 0.1 seconds.

next moment.

There was no loud explosion, nor any dazzling special effects.

There was only one chilling hissing sound.

With Su Chen's terrifying magic power boosted by over 13,000 spirit points and various equipment attributes, he was in a very strong position.

The Abyss Royal Berserker Knight, with 120,000 stamina and enjoying triple attributes and a 50% bonus to both physical and magical resistance, along with its skeletal warhorse.

In an instant, it felt like falling into a steel furnace.

It evaporated.

Not even a scrap of iron was left.

The splash damage from the Fireball spell then engulfed the two knights beside them and the two mages behind them.

Three black torrents of steel, which were destroying the world one second, turned into thin air the next.

Before the two court mages could even cast their spells, their semi-transparent bodies shattered instantly.

[Successfully defeated the level 60 elite monster, Abyss Royal Berserker Knight, gaining 13000 experience points.]

[Successfully defeated a level 60 elite monster...]

A few pieces of tattered equipment lay in the ash pit.

Su Chen pursed his lips.

"One monster only gets 13,000 experience points... It's really tough to share that experience among fifty people."

He muttered something under his breath, didn't even glance at the equipment on the ground, and continued walking forward, stepping on the ashes.

Behind.

The forty-nine senior elites, who were prepared for total annihilation, remained frozen in their shield-raising and spell-casting postures.

A gust of cold wind blew by, stirring up the ashes on the ground.

"Just now……"

Zhang Ming took off his cracked glasses, rubbed his eyes hard, and spoke in a hollow voice.

"That elite monster with 120,000 stamina, 100,000 strength, and a triple attribute buff..."

"Killed in one hit with a basic attack?"

Chen Shan silently put down the tower shield, looked at the dark gold weapon in his hand, and suddenly felt that this thing was as ridiculous as a fire poker.

"What the hell am I so shocked about...?"

The assassin-type heartthrob let out a bitter, lifeless laugh. "I should have known... What difference do triple stats or 120,000 stamina make in front of him?"

"You're showing a monster with only 120,000 HP to a monster that can deal 15 billion damage..."

Li Huo'er replied expressionlessly, "It's like asking a millionaire, 'If this bag of spicy strips goes from 50 cents to 1.5 yuan, are you scared?'"

The forty-nine people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then, they quietly put away their weapons.

"Let's go, bosses."

Zhang Ming sighed, his smile bitter: "Even with triple attributes, he can still one-shot everything. I really don't know where his limit is."
