Chapter 698 - 429: Crushing Offensive (Part 2)

The main brain’s voice remained ethereal and deep, but it now carried a hint of shock: "How could you possibly know its weakness? That’s impossible!"

Su Mo flexed his stiff fingers, hindered by various ability ’debuffs’, and murmured to himself: "It’s been too long since I fought, I’m still rusty; at best, I could compress it within seven seconds."

In the next instant, white scorching light once again shrouded the main brain, starting to surge and roar like burning flames. With a crazed momentum, it raced towards the top of the hall and spread across the floor.

Meanwhile, the heavily cracked giant cocoon underwent changes, accompanied by a deafening shattering sound as a large swath of crystal fragments flew out like torrential rain, scattering everywhere.

White light gushing from the broken cocoon formed a dazzling beam, which rapidly expanded amidst the shaking ground, and within the deepest part of the light, a giant beast was emerging.

This beast was extremely massive, about a dozen meters tall, its body composed of countless pale crystals identical to the cocoon. They were assembled into a whole, standing upright like barbed spikes, making it appear immensely imposing.

The beast’s eyes were two huge red crystals, emitting a crimson glow; its mouth was a long crack with dazzling arcs inside, seemingly ready to spew fiery energy at any moment.

Most striking was the beast’s chest area, where a crystal covered in complex geometric patterns flickered rhythmically with its every movement, radiating intense white light interspersed with countless tiny light particles, forming a massive energy field.

"Roar!!!" The beast let out an earth-shattering roar, its force so great that it sent the surrounding air rippling like water waves, transforming into a substantive sound wave sweeping outward.

The final boss construct, the main brain, enters stage two "Golem Form" in "Dawn".

This is the main brain’s most intimidating form, not only due to its enormous size and violent offense but also possessing defense resistance not inferior to that of the cocoon form.

This form of the main brain also has a weakness, which is the crystal on its chest filled with complex geometric patterns, can be understood as its "heart".

Due to the glowing vulnerability at the golem’s chest, which appears particularly obvious, inexperienced players would try to use flight or other abilities to climb onto its body and aim directly at the heart.

This approach is extremely dangerous.

Because the golem’s damage is exceedingly astonishing, even Black King Level Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone seems fragile as ceramics in its presence.

Especially if someone climbs onto its body, the golem will release a terrifying shock wave to blow the player off, followed by a wide-ranging sweep attack.

Controlling one’s body amidst the raging turbulence is extremely difficult, and the direction of turbulence is unpredictable, making recovery from any mishap desperately low in tolerance.

Of course, there is a relatively easier way to fight the golem, and it can be said to be a strategy born out of stereotype, one known by players who enjoy action games.

That is the universally applicable method for fighting many large bosses—crippling the feet.

The golem roared to life, its massive arms crashing down like falling meteors, collapsing the specially made metal floor with epicenter force, many rifts rapidly spreading outward as if tearing the entire hall apart.

Su Mo agilely jumped, evading the shockwave from the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The golem smashed the floor three times in succession, with Su Mo perfectly catching the rhythm, jumping three times, and finally landing on its arm before leaping, swiftly pulling out an arc, directly bypassing to the back heel position.

The golem has high resistance to slash attacks but is weak to blunt strikes, hence Su Mo put away the Moon Concealing Arm Blade, wrapping his hands with Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone, forming heavy hammer-like shapes, striking towards its heel with thunderous force.

"Boom boom boom boom boom——" Under Su Mo’s frenzied attack, infinitely compressed air exploded, blowing debris around; the hall floor could no longer withstand such power, visibly caving in, subsiding, forming a huge crater like a meteor strike.

The golem twisted its heavy body, sweeping its massive arm back.

Yet as it moved, Su Mo already had muscle memory, advancing instead of retreating, rolling with perfect angle to evade through gaps in the massive arm’s rugged space.

Then Su Mo nimbly got up, darted through the golem’s legs, again reaching the heel position, using Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone for fierce pounding.

Punch after punch landed, creating cracks in the golem’s foot crystal structure, with shattered crystals starting to peel.

"Roar!!!" The golem roared, echoing deafening sound waves within the hall, its eyes flickering with crimson light, the rugged crystals on its back started flashing rapidly, forming a raging light ball.

The light ball erupted with a strong beam directly aimed at Su Mo, who evaded with perfect angle, continuing to dash toward the golem, dodging under, circling, delivering precise swift foot strikes.

The size discrepancy between the two is vast, like a cat battling a mammoth.

It appears perilous, but in reality, the cat skillfully dodges each sweep and stomp of the mammoth without being harmed.

Unable to hit Su Mo for a long time, the golem began showing irritation, its massive arms swung like heavy hammers, creating deep fissures each time on the ground, exposing even bigger weaknesses, allowing Su Mo to handle with more ease.

After taking continuous hits, the golem’s anger reached its peak, the crystals on its back flashed hysterically, it let out a furious roar, body shaking vigorously, gathering a destructive beam.

This time targeting not Su Mo, but Su Motong, wrapped in layers of Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone at the edge of the battlefield.

Attempting to attack the more vulnerable Su Motong intending to force Su Mo to confront the assault head-on.

Yet this time, it miscalculated.

So focused on how to kill Su Mo, it forgot how much damage it incurred from Su Mo during the process.

After repeated strikes, Su Mo’s attacks finally succeeded. The crystal connecting the golem’s heel joint was completely shattered, fragmented crystals flew everywhere like rain.

The golem’s massive body shook violently, lower limbs losing balance, collapsing to the ground, causing the beam aimed at Su Motong to deviate heavily, melting a meter-wide scorching hole in the hall’s wall.

The ground issued a dull roar from the golem’s impact, dust rising, and before it struggled to stand, Su Mo circled to its front with utmost speed, channeling all his power towards its chest weakness.

With strength magnified by various abilities, Su Mo’s punch carried thunderous might, while the chest crystal was precisely the golem’s most vulnerable area.

"Boom boom boom——" The deafening collision of fist and crystal echoed in the hall, the golem tried flailing its arms to counterstrike, but Su Mo always dodged flexibly, continuing relentless assaults on its core weakness.

With Su Mo’s incessant blows, the cracks on the golem’s vulnerable area multiplied, white light poured from the fissures, seemingly ready to explode at any instant.

"Boom!!!" As the final punch landed, accompanied by deafening noise, the core part at the golem’s chest shattered under insurmountable force, blazing white light gushed from the cracks like a flood.

The magnitude of this event even made animals in distant forests outside the hall sense the ground trembling, running panic-stricken through woods.

This lightning strike completely destroyed the golem’s weakness, the core utterly collapsed, intense white light extinguished immediately, the runes covering its body dimmed uniformly, losing efficacy without exception.

The golem’s enormous body trembled violently, cracks spread rapidly, ensuing inch-by-inch destruction, roars gradually transforming into unwilling whimpers, ultimately falling apart.

Su Mo stood proudly amid the howling gale, dazzling crystal shards shining down around him, like a torrential downpour.

Suspend, then strike the weakness decisively!

Main brain second stage Golem Form, defeated!

Time taken: 17 seconds!
