Lord of the Abyss
At the deepest part of the Misty Abyss, a colossal black gate stood before him. The heavy metal surface was covered in ancient runes, seemingly chanting some unknown incantation. Ling Tian stood before the gate, feeling a faint sense of pressure, the kind of intimidation only powerful beings possess.
He took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open. A thick, bloody stench assaulted his senses, as if countless souls had been devoured here. Before him was a vast, empty black hall, with a monstrous figure standing at its center – the ruler of the Misty Abyss: the Nightshade King.

Ling Tian gripped his short staff tightly, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes. This was not only the strongest enemy he had encountered so far but also a truly meaningful, extreme battle. Without hesitation, he quickly activated his support skills, buffing himself.

System Prompt:
"Player 'Ling Tian' has entered the BOSS battle zone, the battle begins!"
– Boom!
As the giant gate completely closed, the Nightshade King let out a low roar, and the entire room instantly plunged into darkness. Only his scarlet eyes burned in the black mist. He abruptly raised his sharp claws, and cracks appeared in the air, as the black mist began to spread, sweeping towards Ling Tian with a bone-chilling coldness!
"Shadow Mist Devour!"
– Shadow Mist Devour has been activated, player's vision is limited, perception is reduced by 40%, and movement speed is reduced by 30%.
Ling Tian's vision went dark, and all his senses seemed to be stripped away. Even the BOSS's figure became blurry. But he didn't panic. Instead, he quickly activated [Eyes of the Spirit], using his perception to locate the Nightshade King's position.
– Swoosh!
A black claw shadow tore through the air, and Ling Tian dodged in time, but was still grazed by the aftershock, his health dropping instantly.
"-320"
"Such high damage?" Ling Tian gasped. This was the true terror of an Abyssal BOSS! If he were to face it head-on, he would probably be killed in a few moves.
He didn't hesitate any longer, quickly distancing himself while releasing skills!
[Purification Light] – Dispels negative statuses and briefly increases resistance.
Instantly, the mist's influence on him was weakened, and his vision recovered slightly. He raised his hand and unleashed a [Law-Breaking Impact], a silver beam of light sweeping out like a gust of wind, smashing into the Nightshade King's body.
"-450" (Defense Break Damage)
The BOSS was staggered back half a step by this impact. Seemingly enraged, it abruptly opened its claws and let out a deafening roar!
– Abyssal Gaze!
In an instant, Ling Tian felt a dizzy spell, his brain as if struck by a heavy hammer, his health instantly dropping by 10%, and all attributes reduced by 20%!
"-600" (Mental Shock)
"Crap!" Ling Tian thought to himself, this skill not only weakens attributes but also briefly puts people in a Fear state! If the BOSS takes this opportunity to launch Claw of Despair, he will surely die!
At this critical moment, Ling Tian decisively activated [Void Step]!
[Void Step] – Enters a brief invulnerable state and is immune to all control effects, lasting 1.5 seconds.
Instantly, Ling Tian's figure became illusory, and the Fear state was forcibly removed! He suddenly jumped up, taking advantage of the moment the BOSS's skill ended, and directly launched [Holy Radiance Impact]!
– Boom!
Golden light erupted from the tip of the short staff, striking the Nightshade King's chest, the powerful impact causing the BOSS to stagger backward, its shield shattered!
"-900" (Critical Damage)
"Now!" Ling Tian's eyes narrowed, taking advantage of the situation to unleash three skills in quick succession –
[Law-Breaking Impact]! [Light Binding]! [Purifying Holy Ring]!
Three beams of light bombarded the BOSS in succession, continuously exploding with high damage. The Nightshade King roared repeatedly, its health plummeting below 50%!
However, at this stage, the BOSS's true threat had just begun!
– Abyssal Domination (Passive) triggered!
The Nightshade King's body was engulfed in scarlet flames, its attack speed suddenly increasing. It lunged towards Ling Tian, its claw shadows falling like a storm!
Ling Tian's heart tightened, and he quickly cast [Sacred Barrier], a golden shield appearing, forcibly blocking the attack! But the shield only lasted two seconds before shattering!
– "Claw of Despair" activated!
The Nightshade King roared, tearing through the air, and a claw viciously grabbed towards Ling Tian!
Seeing this, Ling Tian abruptly used [Flash]!
– Swoosh!
At the very moment the claw blade was about to hit, his figure teleported behind the BOSS, his short staff raised high, gathering all his energy, and releasing his strongest blow!
[Holy Sanction] – Gathers all auxiliary power to deliver a fatal blow to the target!
Dazzling holy light descended from the sky, heavily bombarding the Nightshade King –
– "-1500" (Fatal Strike!)
The Nightshade King let out a painful roar, its massive body trembling, its health rapidly dropping to zero, and finally crashing down, turning into nothingness!
"Ding!"
[System Prompt]: Player 'Ling Tian' has successfully killed BOSS 'Nightshade King', gaining experience +15000, gold coins +200, and dropping items: Ring of the Abyss, Codex of Shadows, Heart of the Nightshade!
– Victory!
Ling Tian let out a long breath, slowly lowered his short staff, looked at the spoils of war, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This battle was worth it!
