Chapter 159: Come Find Me, Kill Me!

Those wisps of black energy were equivalent to its life force.

It was originally an energy conglomerate. As long as its energy was depleted, it could be killed.

The Elemental Panther King had no sense of pain. It felt nothing from the attacks.

But it could feel anger, seemingly an instinct.

Being attacked by ants was humiliating.

With an angry roar, the Elemental Panther King fiercely counterattacked.

Skill: Elemental Explosion!

Massive elements exploded on its body surface. Dozens of skeletons were blasted away amid the huge boom.

Then the elemental explosion range expanded, blasting away even some skeleton mages dozens of meters away.

Lin Moyu observed that this skill was almost identical to the Elemental Queen's skill.

But the Elemental Queen needed to use star rings, while it didn't.

Clearly it was superior in elemental control.

Recalling the scene when entering the dungeon, Lin Moyu suddenly understood.

How the Elemental Plains came to be, why Elemental Secret Realms were born, how the Elemental Queen was produced.

It was all caused by that battle years ago, when forbidden spells plowed the land.

This Elemental Panther King was one of the culprits.

Unfortunately, the dungeon only imitated the appearance. Its level, attributes and skills were all restricted.

The imitated Elemental Panther King was inferior to the Elemental Queen in all aspects.

The same skill had much less power.

The skeleton warriors charged back after being blasted away, not taking much damage.

They resumed attacking as before.

They didn't care about the Elemental Panther King's attacks at all.

The Elemental Panther King grew increasingly angry.

It continuously released skills.

Constantly blasting away the skeleton warriors.

The blasted skeleton warriors ran back with crackling sounds.

Round after round of attacks, its size kept shrinking.

Soon, its height had decreased to 70 meters.

Large amounts of black energy dispersed during the attacks, flying towards the human world.

In its anger, the Elemental Panther King activated its second skill.

Skill: Elemental Sweep.

All its fur turned into whips, frantically lashing about.

The lashes carried various elements, forming physical and elemental double strikes.

For a time, wind and thunder raged, ice and fire coexisted.

It looked dazzling, but was all show and no substance.

The skeleton warriors still ignored it.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, this big guy was just a tough, thick-skinned target with strong vitality.

Its most proud speed had lost effect under the Slow Curse.

There was no need to expend effort, just spend more time to grind it down.

The Elemental Panther King was much weaker than imagined.

But Lin Moyu found it increasingly strange.

This Hell-level dungeon was even simpler than the Outpost dungeon.

A full 12-person team could clear it with good coordination.

But this was a Hell dungeon after all. It couldn't really be this simple.

"Could it be that choosing the human path would make it very difficult?"

The thought was dismissed as soon as it appeared.

The boss's form grew smaller and weaker.

Greatly enhanced vitality and defense looked impressive, but only let it live a few minutes longer.

When it turned into the last wisp of black smoke and completely vanished,

There was no darkness left in the entire dungeon, completely dominated by light.

[Killed Elemental Panther King, Experience +...]

[Obtained Elemental Staff]

[Elemental Staff: Gold-grade equipment, Spirit +...]

The experience was decent, but the item was too poor.

Just an Elemental Staff, with attributes not even as good as the Hell Outpost Staff.

This didn't seem like a Hell difficulty dungeon drop at all.

Besides being tough and thick-skinned, there was hardly any difficulty.

The dungeon exit appeared before Lin Moyu.

"Is it over already?"

Lin Moyu felt something was off, like something was missing.

Ning Yiyi ran over quickly, pointing to the human world direction of the dungeon, "Something's happening there."

In the human world of the dungeon, light shone brilliantly.

A mage appeared in mid-air.

He was wrapped in elements, holding a staff.

Not a real person, but formed by gathered energy, just like the Elemental Panther King.

But his aura was even more powerful than the Elemental Panther King's.

When Lin Moyu looked at him, he actually lowered his head to look at Lin Moyu too.

Their eyes met.

Suddenly an old, majestic voice rang out, "Come find me."

Lin Moyu was shocked, feeling a chill down his spine for a moment.

Looking at Ning Yiyi again, she seemed to have heard nothing.

This voice had sounded directly in his mind.

His instincts told him he must go.

"Yiyi, wait for me here."

Ning Yiyi knew what Lin Moyu was going to do.

"Be careful!"

Lin Moyu led the skeletons towards the human world.

This dungeon was a battlefield, with Abyss demon and human career holder powers constantly battling.

Lin Moyu's arrival eliminated the Abyss energy. This energy didn't vanish into thin air, but all gathered in the human world.

The human area of the dungeon became even more powerful.

The exit had appeared, but the dungeon hadn't truly ended.

Lin Moyu felt that previous teams coming to clear the dungeon probably all left after defeating the Elemental Panther King.

Or maybe they left after clearing the human area, never going to the other world.

In the buffer zone between the two, there were some elemental spirits.

The skeleton army swarmed up, quickly clearing them out.

Then the army advanced, entering the 'human' territory.

Earlier it was pitch black, but here it was blindingly bright.

From one extreme to the other.

Here, Lin Moyu squinted, barely able to see anything.

Fortunately the skeleton warriors were completely unaffected.

Humanoid monsters appeared in view.

Pale blue all over, very strange looking.

Crooked and twisted, in odd postures, some even folded together.

They looked indescribably uncomfortable.

Holes all over their faces and bodies, with blue liquid flowing inside, like blood.

These weren't humans at all, just humanoid monsters.

[Mage Soul (Hell-enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 35]

[Strength: 10,000]

[Agility: 10,000]

[Spirit: 20,000]

[Constitution: 20,000]

[Skills: Repelling Fire Ring, Meteor Fall, Magic Shield]

[Traits: Physical damage halved, Elemental damage halved]

Very strong attributes.

After destroying the dark power, all the energy concentrated here.

Enhancing the humanoid monsters here.

From elite monsters to Hell-enhanced elite monsters, and Lin Moyu's least favorite mage-type monsters at that.

Repelling Fire Ring could blast back all the skeletons.

Magic Shield could protect itself.

Plus halved physical and elemental damage, making them very tough and troublesome to kill.

If not for that voice, he might have chosen to leave.

He could beat them, but didn't want to bother.

Unable to use Corpse Explosion, fighting them was tedious, with low cost-effectiveness.

But now...

Since he came, he would fight.

The skeleton warriors had already charged over.

The skeleton mages' spells flew out with crackling sounds.

Blue light flashed as a magic shield appeared in front of the humanoid mage.

Blocking the skeleton mages' attacks.

Then a fire ring burst out, instantly blasting away the skeleton warriors at the front.

The Repelling Fire Ring skill effect was to blast away, ignoring level and attributes.

It was also a control-type skill.

Fortunately there were enough skeleton warriors. A few were blasted away, but more followed up.

Blades fell on the magic shield, immediately distorting it.

A few more strikes would break it.

The humanoid mage activated another skill. A fire meteor appeared out of thin air, crashing down from the sky.

With a huge boom, like a violent explosion.

The ground turned into a sea of fire.

The skeleton warriors stood in the fire sea without dodging, still hacking with their blades.

Five strikes, six strikes... ten strikes.

Several skeleton warriors took turns swinging their blades. After taking ten strikes, the magic shield shattered.

At this moment the skeleton mages' skills arrived, engulfing the opponent.

The skeleton warriors also hacked at it with their blades.

A few seconds later, Lin Moyu received the prompt for killing the monster.

Even split between two people, the experience from a level 36 Hell-enhanced elite monster was still good.

After eliminating one humanoid monster, Lin Moyu continued forward.

No warrior monsters, no assassin monsters.

Only mage monsters, the most annoying mage monsters.

Fortunately there weren't too many, only about twenty in total.

Following the same method, it took over an hour for Lin Moyu to finally clear out all these mage monsters.

He came before the final boss.

The mage he had seen earlier opened his eyes, looking at Lin Moyu.

"Kill me!"
