Chapter 574: Dark Pupils (2/2)

I had donated all fifteen of the Split Galaxy sets that I had grinded to the guild, so I had already done my duty as a vice leader! I decided to sell these eleven Bloody Dawn sets at the auction house. I mean, I still had to look out for myself in the end. Besides, He Yi and Murong Mingyue’s pocketbooks were definitely hurting right now. I had no choice but to pick up the slack.

I continued to advance into the graveyard and I soon discovered an imposing figure dressed in blood-colored armor. He looked like an ancient general and he held an archaic warblade in his hand. His skin was pale and his eyes were the color of blood. It was an Asura, evident from the fact that his flesh had been completely regenerated.

Looks like I’ve found my next opponent!

I activated Dark Pupils, my body tensing up as I used the skill for the first time. My eyes were instantly shrouded in dark light as the boss's stats soon appeared in front of me.

Blood Skull (Earth Rank Boss)

Level: 165

攻击：2440-3050

Attack: 2440~3050

Defense: 3500

Health: 11,000,000

Skills: Blade of Blood, Perfect Defense, Soul Cleave

Introduction: Legend has it that Blood Skull was once a templar that lived several millennia ago. This brave warrior had been taken captive during a battle with the Night Creatures and he eventually fell and became a general of the undead. He now leads a bunch of former subordinates who had been transformed into undead slaves. Blood Skull is extremely powerful and every human warrior trembles at the sound of his name.

……

Hmmm, a Level 165 Earth Rank boss! Even though his Attack wasn’t as powerful as a Heaven Rank boss like the Star Dragon, his Defense was absolutely bonkers. In fact, it looked like it was even higher than the Star Dragon’s. It even seemed to have a defensive skill called Perfect Defense!

My hand shot out as I used God Binding Art. Four divine weapons howled through the air as they fell around the boss and formed a binding formation. I had successfully bound him!

As expected, once my level and Luck were high enough, it would be much easier for skills like this to succeed. I mean, I had bound a Level 165 Earth Rank boss just like that! Heh, this is great!

I flew forward and the Cyan Netherworld Sword danced in the air!

Clang!

I used a basic attack to test out the boss's Defense. A damage number of 7904 popped up above his head. Not bad! However, it looked like it was going to take forever to wear down the eleven million HP that Blood Skull had.

It was at this exact moment that Blood Skull let out a furious roar. Even though no wind was blowing, air started to swirl around his body. Blood-colored scales of armor began to appear around him. They began to stick themselves to his armor, forming fierce-looking spikes that stuck out of it!

Beep!

Combat Notice: Blood Skull has activated the skill ”Perfect Defense”, increasing his Defense by 80%!

……

”Shit!” I cursed in my head. I lashed out at him with the Cyan Netherworld sword again. As the edge of my blade slammed into the Blood Skull’s head, the damage number that popped up above his head was so pathetic that it put me to shame. 1784!

Fuck me, this is terrible! If I can only deal this much damage to the boss, it’s gonna take me an entire year to kill him!

I gritted my teeth before I activated Dark Pupils. Okay, it was now or never. Black light radiated from my eyes after I activated the skill and I was shocked by what I saw once I looked at the boss again with Dark Pupils activated. It looked like I was seeing something out of a sci-fi movie. The skill seemed to be independently analyzing the boss's body and four limbs and his thick layer of armor wasn’t able to hide anything from it. Finally, I saw something different! The area under Blood Skull’s right armpit was glowing a bloody-red. As I squinted my eyes, I realized that the armor in that area had started to grow rusty and weak after the relentless passage of time had chewed away at it.

My Cyan Netherworld Sword hummed with energy as I took careful aim at Blood Skull’s weak spot. It was a small area that was about ten centimeters wide, so it wasn’t easy to hit at all. However, that was true for an average player, not an expert like me.

I shot a Burning Blade Slash at it, the three crescents of burning energy swiftly and accurately striking against its weak point! Blood Skull immediately let out a miserable yell of pain as a bunch of shocking damage numbers popped up above his head.

11092!

17823!

42884!

……

God damn, what kind of damage is this...

My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw those damage numbers. The last hit of my Burning Blade Slash had been a critical hit! The effect of Dark Pupils was truly incredible. This was especially true for a player who had reached the peak of mechanical skill and control like me! I could easily maneuver myself into any position I wanted, so I could even hit a monster in the crotch if I had to.

Let’s do this again! Universe Break! As an Eight Trigrams formation appeared beneath my feet, my sword exploded out and the indigo spiral of blazing energy drilled into the boss's weak point!

59028!

Damn! Another crit?! This is too fucking amazing!
