Chapter 12: World Boss, Frenzied Wild Boar King

[Ding~ You have entered the First World: Nightmare Abyss - Boss Zone. This boss challenge will last for one hour. You must defeat the Frenzied Wild Boar King within the time limit.]

[Warning: Failing to defeat the Frenzied Wild Boar King within the specified time or being killed by it will result in challenge failure. You will need to complete the world quests again to reactivate the challenge.]

As the system notification faded, Zhang Yue found himself at the bottom of a vast, dark abyss.

The oppressive, dim atmosphere weighed heavily on his heart.

Ahead, a massive creature stood over five meters tall, covered in shaggy brown fur. Its eyes glowed red, staring menacingly from about a hundred meters away.

This was no ordinary monster, not even a lord-class beast. This was a boss—an entity whose strength far surpassed that of standard creatures and lord monsters.

Ordinarily, even if dozens or hundreds of similarly leveled players grouped together, they would struggle to take down such a monster.

But the value of defeating a boss monster was equally immense!

For most novice practitioners entering this alternate world, encountering such a colossal beast would be enough to make their legs tremble in fear.

But Zhang Yue remained calm, standing his ground with an air of confidence.

[Ding~ Initiating Boss Fight.]

A countdown appeared midair: 59:59!

Roar!

With a deafening bellow, the massive wild boar charged toward Zhang Yue like a tidal wave, its hulking form closing the distance rapidly.

Zhang Yue activated his Scouting skill.

Description:

Ruler of the Nightmare Abyss, guarding the passage to the Second World. Any who attempt to break through the Nightmare Abyss and enter the Second World will be crushed by the Frenzied Wild Boar King...

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The boss's stats were formidable.

Even an explosive damage-dealer with full strength or intelligence build at Level 10 would struggle to harm the Boar King.

As the Frenzied Wild Boar King charged toward him, Zhang Yue waited for the beast to enter his attack range.

Boom!

Zhang Yue cast Super Ice Spike, summoning a spike of ice directly in front of the Boar King's path. His timing was perfect—the spell hit its mark!

325 Freeze Damage!

50 Frost Damage!

The Boar King was frozen in place.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yue followed up with a Fireball, dealing another 364 damage and adding 50 Frost Damage from his Frost Staff.

Bosses naturally have a 50% resistance to control effects.

The original 1-second freeze from Ice Spike was reduced to 0.5 seconds on the Boar King, and the Frost Staff's 20% slow effect was halved to 10%.

Breaking free from the ice, the enraged Boar King immediately charged at Zhang Yue with Savage Charge.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Boar King's speed increased as it rushed toward Zhang Yue.

Just then, Zhang Yue's Silver Armored Scorpion appeared in front of him, blocking the Boar King's assault.

Bang!

The Silver Armored Scorpion was sent flying from the impact.

150 Damage Taken!

45 Reflect Damage Dealt!

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue pulled out a Level 2 Instant Healing Potion and used it on the Silver Armored Scorpion.

+200 Health Restored!

The green glow of recovery instantly replenished the health his pet had lost.

With the Silver Armored Scorpion tanking the damage upfront, Zhang Yue focused on launching a barrage of attacks from behind.

His 27 points in agility allowed him a decent attack speed.

Boom, boom, boom!

When both Fireball and Ice Spike were on cooldown, Zhang Yue resorted to basic magic attacks, each dealing 130 damage, with critical hits reaching 195 damage!

Every attack added an additional 50 Frost Damage.

The cumulative damage was not insignificant!

Slowly but surely, the Boar King's health bar started to drop, visible to the naked eye.

All of the Boar King's attacks—Berserk, Savage Charge, and Death Stomp—were relentlessly blocked by the Silver Armored Scorpion.

Faithfully, the scorpion protected its master, standing its ground despite the relentless onslaught.

Whenever the scorpion's health dropped, Zhang Yue would heal it with another potion, each costing a hefty 12.6 silver coins.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue maintained his mana with Level 2 Instant Mana Potions, casting Fireball every three seconds and Ice Spike every five seconds, effectively turning himself into a magic artillery, bombarding the Boar King from behind the scorpion's protection.

Even for a formidable 2-star, Level 10 boss like the Frenzied Wild Boar King, there was no surviving Zhang Yue's relentless bombardment, especially with his 2-star, Level 8 Doombringer: Frost Staff and the fact that he was a Level 10 Mythic-class Necromancer.

Less than ten minutes later—

As Zhang Yue used his last healing potion on the Silver Armored Scorpion, the Boar King's health bar finally hit zero.

Boom!

With a thunderous crash, the massive body of the Frenzied Wild Boar King fell lifeless at Zhang Yue's feet.

A triumphant system notification echoed from above:

[Ding~ Congratulations! You have slain the Level 10, 2-star boss, Frenzied Wild Boar King. Solo kill reward: Full experience bonus +6,000! Ether +1,000.]

Clink, clink, clink!

A mountain of coins, gear, skill books, and materials tumbled out of the Boar King's body, forming a small pile in front of Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue walked forward and began collecting his spoils one by one.

[Ding~ You've collected 12 silver coins!]

[Ding~ You've collected the Frenzied Blade!]

[Ding~ You've collected the skill book Berserk!]

[Ding~ You've collected 16 pieces of Level 2 Meat!]

[Ding…]

After gathering all the loot, another system notification rang out.

[Ding~ Congratulations! You have completed the First World: Nightmare Abyss. The passage to the Second World: Zombie Siege is now open. Please proceed to the Second World.]

Whoosh!

Before Zhang Yue, two rifts appeared: one red and one blue.

Zhang Yue understood immediately—the red portal led to the Second World, while the blue portal returned him to the First World.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yue chose the blue portal.

After all, it was lunchtime.

How can you fight in the Second World on an empty stomach?

Crossing through the portal, Zhang Yue returned to the Raging Forest.

At that moment, a world announcement echoed across the First World—

[Ding~ Congratulations to practitioner "Zero" for defeating the Frenzied Wild Boar King and clearing the First World: Nightmare Abyss.]

As soon as the announcement spread, every practitioner across the First World erupted into chaos!

————

In a Level 6 hunting zone, a young Level 5 warrior slashing at an Iron Armored Scorpion exclaimed, "He cleared the First World in half a day? No way. Isn't the average clear time for the First World 485 days? Even Dragon Country's top-tier elite, Yuehen, took a full day to finish."

Meanwhile, in a Level 5 dungeon, the guild's top female player turned to her teammates in shock, "Only one announcement? Did that guy… solo the world boss?"

A patriot from Dragon Country shouted in excitement, "The fastest clear record for the First World in a century has been shattered? Looks like Dragon Country is about to produce a new top-tier powerhouse. Rejoice, Dragon Country is about to dominate the world once again."[T/N: A little chinese propaganda is common in chinese novels anyways.]
