Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

You have entered the secret realm "Moonlight Palace"

Before Chen Nian lay a mysterious and magnificent palace bathed in moonlight!

A stone bridge spans the middle, flanked by shimmering lakes. A round sun overhead casts a soft, mysterious light, giving even the ripples an ethereal quality.

"An unfamiliar dungeon..."

Some of the dungeons were ones that Chen Nian had seen in the game before, but this one is obviously new.

Li Yunwei and several others followed from behind.

"What a beautiful view! How come we haven't seen a single monster?"

"Perhaps inside the palace?"

"Let's go in and take a look!"

As soon as the group stepped onto the stone bridge, several huge splashes of water suddenly erupted from the lakes on both sides!

"Be careful!"

What emerged were six wolves with snow-white fur, a crescent moon shining on their foreheads, and moon-white pupils.

[Moonlight Wolf, Level 90]

"Tsk, just a level 90 monster, I thought it was something special!" Qian Meng chuckled, instantly losing all pressure.

There are three in the front and three in the back.

He stepped forward alone, wielding a dark gold shield, and faced the attacks of the three moon wolves with ease.

A Holy Light of Punishment was unleashed, and three beams of light descended like three cages, trapping the monster inside.

rear.

A second-tier Thunder Shadow Warrior named Jiang Yunlei also rushed out, wielding a greatsword with lightning speed, his entire body seemingly sparking with sparks and lightning, crushing the monster without any doubt.

But he only dealt with two of them, deliberately leaving one Moon Wolf behind.

After stepping back, he looked at Chen Nian and said, "Brother, is it really appropriate to just watch from the back? I'll leave you one to try your hand at."

All eyes were on Chen Nian.

Clearly, this is a test of his strength. If he can't even handle these weaklings, then he can be fired immediately.

"Why aren't you doing anything yet? You can't...!"

Bang!

Before Jiang Yunlei could finish speaking, a blast wave swept past his eyes, snapping off two strands of hair from his forehead.

The Moonlight Wolf was pierced through by the hit and instantly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

"......"

Everyone was shocked to see this.

Is this elemental mage's attack power really that high? He can even one-shot level 90 monsters...

His equipment must be quite luxurious!

There might even be an epic weapon, which would be the part with the highest attack power bonus, but unfortunately he hid the staff, so we can't see the weapon's appearance.

They guessed wrong in two ways.

First, Chen Nian's entire set of equipment is almost all epic-level.

Secondly, Chen Nian's talent is special, so he doesn't need any special type of weapon. For him, weapons are just tools to increase "attack power" and he doesn't need to show them off.

"Is it done?" Chen Nian asked.

Li Yunwei said, "Xiao Chen's strength is definitely beyond doubt. Let's go and keep moving forward."

The group entered the palace gates and passed through the towering stone pillars. Along the way, they encountered many attacks from moon wolves, but they dealt with them all with ease.

"They're all Tier 1 monsters. Is this all the difficulty of this dungeon? There's no pressure at all."

Qian Meng found it quite boring.

He actually hoped the dungeon would be even more difficult, otherwise he wouldn't be able to showcase his skills or show off.

The best feeling is when everyone else is helpless and you single-handedly turn the tide – that's the most exhilarating!

"Don't let your guard down, we haven't met the BOSS yet."

At the end of the corridor was a large door about ten meters high!

The gate is carved with lifelike wolf heads, and everyone knows that this is probably where the lord's residence is located.

The one who wiped out that level 90 squad must have been the boss.

"Move aside, I'll do it."

Qian Meng shouted, and holy light enveloped his shield, greatly increasing its defensive power.

This is the characteristic of the Holy Knight.

He pushed open the door, and the others followed him inside.

"Wow..." Qin Yu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Above, a super bright full moon hung in the sky; beneath your feet was a floor as smooth as glass, with ripples spreading out when you stepped on it.

It's like a dreamlike fairyland!

The door slammed shut.

Everyone immediately became alert to their surroundings, but the scene was completely empty; they couldn't see anything, let alone the lord.

"What happened? Where's the boss?"

Just as everyone was wondering, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of them.

[You have been affected by the effect "Moonlight Seal": You cannot use any supernatural powers under the light of the moon.]

"What?!"

The holy light on Qian Meng's shield was extinguished.

"I can no longer use supernatural powers..."

"Me too! What happened?"

"There are even such restrictions? What's the point of fighting then?!"

Chen Nian remained calm.

There are many types of dungeons in Calamity, and this one is clearly a "mechanics" type dungeon.

What is a mechanism-based copy?

There are certain special rules in the dungeon, and players need to defeat the boss under specific conditions, rather than engaging in mindless combat.

"Awooo!!"

A wolf howl came from overhead.

A huge, snow-white figure descended from the sky and crashed to the ground.

It is ten meters long, with thick, snow-white fur that shimmers with a pearly luster.

On its forehead, a bright full moon shines, giving it a sacred and inviolable radiance.

[Moonlight Wolf King, Tier 2, Level 1]

"A second-tier boss...it's actually a second-tier boss!" someone exclaimed in shock.

"As expected, it's Tier 2. No wonder it could wipe out a level 90 team. Everyone, be careful!"

However, the Moon Wolf King did not immediately attack the group.

Because a special mechanism has emerged.

Please send one person to engage the Wolf King in hand-to-hand combat.

[Victory Condition: If you successfully shatter the full moon on the forehead, you can break the "Moonlight Seal"]

[Failure Condition: Escape from the challenge area, or a second person enters the challenge area]

[Current remaining opportunities: 4]

One-on-one, hand-to-hand combat.

Only one person can be sent!

"I'll do it."

Qian Meng waved his hand and was about to step forward.

"Brother, you have four chances. The strongest one like you should be saved for last. I'll go first!" Another man volunteered.

He strode into the central disc and began the first round of battle.

The wolf king pounced fiercely!

Sharp, steel-like claws knocked him to the ground almost instantly!

He was like a suppressed little animal, barely able to use his weapon to defend against the steel claws, but he was still being suppressed.

Those steel claws were about to pierce his head!

"Help! Help!"

"I can't beat them! I can't beat them!" he screamed for help like a madman.

Jiang Yunlei entered the challenge area.

His entry resulted in two people being in the challenge area.

[Current challenge failed, remaining chances: 3]

The Moon Wolf King's attack stopped, and the man was so terrified that he almost wet himself and fled for his life.

But after he had only taken a few steps, a ray of moonlight suddenly trapped him in place.

"What's going on? What is this?!"

"Why can't I get out!"

At this moment, new rules are emerging before everyone's eyes.

Those who fail in the challenge become sacrifices. Once all four sacrifices are gathered, "Moon Destruction" will be activated, annihilating everything.

Everyone: !!!

A terrifying chill shot straight to the top of everyone's head.

Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't speak.

Four challenge opportunities, corresponding to four sacrifices.

Those who fail will become sacrifices.

If all four chances fail, then what awaits everyone is... total annihilation.

[The second challenge begins]

Looking at the enormous wolf king before him,

Jiang Yunlei's palms were already sweating involuntarily.
