Heroes' Prison

Chapter 160 Fist

The 41st floor presented a new scene, a sea of clouds with five steep peaks emerging from it. The summit of each peak was flat, spanning a few kilometers in the area, making them appear as if the tops of five colossal mountains had been sheared off. These were likely the domains representing the five bosses, with one boss per summit.

At this moment, Huang Yi was atop the first peak, where he had activated the Scorched Earth Effect of the "Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints." Instantly, a layer of magma covered everything within a two-hundred-meter radius, while flame crows circled overhead, their cries echoing mournfully through the air.

He began to move forward, and the reach of the scorched earth moved with him.

Soon, the first wave of thousands of minions entered the range of the scorched earth, bombarded with fire damage as they swarmed towards Huang Yi. These minions were only level 41, and with Huang Yi now being level 46 and possessing overwhelming attack power, he could instakill any minion here with a single strike.

After filling up on rage, Huang Yi immediately unleashed Judgment, and a greenish Poisonous Miasma spread throughout the two-hundred-meter radius of the scorched earth. The fire crows weaved through the toxic cloud, and the combined effect of Scorched Earth and Aeonic Plague turned the area into a veritable hellscape.

Approximately five seconds later, all the minions lay dead, their defeat converting into a massive amount of experience points for Huang Yi. Simultaneously, the Devouring Effect of his Orange Weapon took hold, each minion’s death restoring 5% of his Health Points.

Now, Huang Yi was at the pinnacle of strength, decked in two pieces of Orange Gear and one Legendary Armor. He continued his relentless advance, transforming the entire mountain into scorched earth, with countless minion corpses scattered within the magma.

Finally, he confronted the first boss. The boss was clad from head to toe in gleaming silver armor, reflecting the dazzling light of the sunset, and wielding a shimmering silver long spear, exuding an aura of valor.

This boss was none other than the Dragonlance Pfister, whom Heavenly Dao’s team had first slain. However, its power was far less formidable, for this was but the single-player mode of the 41st floor, where the boss was only level 41. Heavenly Dao and his team had faced the boss in the fifty-player mode on the 50th floor, where bosses were significantly more powerful.

"Damn you for daring to invade my territory!" roared Fist, uttering a cliché line typical for bosses. These NPCs created by the Pantheon operated with limited intelligence—they could only speak scripted lines and were far less personified than the bosses of the outside world.

Huang Yi launched into pursuit, barreling towards Pfister and stunning it, causing the boss to reel in dizziness for 2 seconds. Huang Yi swung his hammer with all his might, raining down blows on it.

Under normal circumstances, bosses would be immune to control skills; otherwise, a mere couple of hundred players could continuously stun the boss until it died. But Rare Class Holders like Huang Yi were exempt from these restrictions, their control skills were truly capable of subduing opponents. And the idea of assembling hundreds of Rare Class Holders to control a boss was impractical. The entire world had only a little over five thousand Rare Class Holders, with only a few hundred on the Chinese Mainland. These players were either fiercely independent experts, leaders of powerful factions or lone wolves who rarely showed themselves—organizing them for a boss fight was an impossible task.

The Pfister of the 41st floor was exceedingly vulnerable; Huang Yi’s single blow inflicted over ten thousand points of damage, and an additional two thousand points of fire damage, a testament to the Additional Attributes provided by his "Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints" boots.

Two seconds later, Pfister’s dizziness subsided, and it finally came to its senses!

"Dizziness Wave!" Pfister snorted coldly as ripples erupted from its body, sweeping in all directions. Huang Yi hadn’t activated the Eye of Time and was caught off guard by this skill, getting hit by the rippling wave and subsequently entering a state of dizziness himself. A bleeding debuff afflicted him, causing him to lose 500 Health Points per second for 10 seconds!

Pfister swiftly thrust its long spear towards Huang Yi, with fierce and rapid movements.

"Special Pardon!" Huang Yi instantly used the Class Skill he had learned at level 45, dispelling his dizziness and bleeding effects, and for the next minute, he would be immune to both dizziness and bleeding.

This type of exemption wasn’t directed at a particular skill, but rather at specific states and effects, with a very broad scope. For example, many skills could induce dizziness, and once Huang Yi used "Special Pardon" to remove the dizziness, for the following minute, no skill that hit him could cause dizziness anymore!

Huang Yi stepped aside, and Fist’s long spear just barely missed him!

After that, he grabbed Fist’s wrist, executed a disarm, and took the long spear away from Fist!

Now Fist could no longer use his weapon, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Huang Yi seized the opportunity and launched a furious attack on Fist. With no weapon, Fist couldn’t mount much of a counterattack and could only keep dodging. But like a lingering disease, Huang Yi always stayed close enough to attack.

seconds later, Fist’s long spear automatically returned to his hand, but his health points had dropped below 50%!

"My body is light as the wind!" At that moment, Fist shouted another line, and a layer of light breeze appeared, tightly wrapping around him, significantly increasing his evasion speed; Huang Yi’s attacks were dodged one after another.

"Borrow Light! Convert to attack speed!" Huang Yi also came up with a countermeasure, immediately converting the 900 points of strength with the Light-leeching Attribute from his Orange Weapon and Legendary Boots into attack speed!

Instantly, his attack speed surged, making his strikes much faster, and Fist could no longer dodge them; he had to take the blows squarely!

However, with the loss of 900 points of strength, Huang Yi’s attack power also decreased accordingly.

Finally, Fist’s health points fell to 30%! His whole body suddenly glowed red, and his strength surged, indicating that he had entered a fury state! A berserk boss often turns the tables, and if a player can’t hold on, they’re likely to be killed in retaliation.

"Shadow Dance!" The next moment, Huang Yi vanished into thin air, continuing his assault on Fist. His invisibility was not the common kind; even if he attacked or was hit by the enemy, he wouldn’t become visible.

Fist, having lost his target and lacking the ability to see through invisibility, could only flail about with his long spear, but all his thrusts were nimbly dodged by Huang Yi.

Finally, just as Shadow Dance was about to end, Huang Yi smashed Fist’s body with a hammer!
