Chapter 55: Chapter55-Slaying a Legionbreaker-Tier Boss!

Boom—!

The crimson arrow shot into the sky.

The next second—

Thousands of flaming lights appeared above the entire battlefield.

A dense rain of arrows descended from every direction.

Only the smallest gaps remained between each flaming arrow.

Selena’s available movement routes were rapidly compressed.

Flames blocked her left.

Void Spears closed in from her right.

She could only move quickly through the sole remaining safe path.

John did not continue attacking.

He stared closely at Selena’s movement pattern.

Instead of casting a skill at Selena’s current position, John pointed the Void Staff directly toward an empty patch of ground ahead.

[Binding Chains!]

Boom!

Dark-red chains erupted from the ground in advance.

At almost the exact same moment—

Selena’s figure flashed out of a shadow.

The instant her feet touched the ground, the chains wrapped around her legs.

"What?"

[Double Bind triggered!]

[Chains of Silence triggered!]

[The target has been Bound and Silenced!]

Selena attempted to activate Nightveil Shift.

The skill icon instantly turned gray.

More chains wrapped around her waist and arms.

Her high-speed movement was completely interrupted.

[Nightfall Deflection has been disabled!]

Rudy seized the opportunity.

More than a dozen flaming arrows struck Selena in rapid succession.

[-18,640!]

[-19,220!]

[-18,470!]

Her HP fell rapidly.

The Void Staff in John’s hands had already reached ten Overcharge stacks.

"Void Spear."

A black-and-gold spear shot forward instantly.

Without her high-speed movement or dark veil to redirect the impact, Selena could only watch as the spear closed in.

Boom!

The Void Spear pierced through her chest.

[Projectile Amplification triggered!]

[Overcharge triggered!]

[Forerunner remains active!]

[Coldblooded Strike triggered!]

[-214,380!]

Selena’s body arched backward.

The chains binding her were pulled completely taut.

[Target’s remaining HP: 42,680/1,000,000!]

Her HP had fallen below ten percent.

John stepped into the Void.

He instantly appeared in front of Selena.

The black-and-gold staff smashed down toward her face.

[Apocalypse Execution triggered!]

Bang!

Selena’s body was driven into the ground by the strike.

The surrounding black-crystal armor rapidly shattered.

The crimson light in her eyes gradually faded.

"The Void..."

"It has actually chosen again..."

Before she could finish her final words, her body completely dissolved into dark-purple motes of light.

[You have successfully killed Nightstalker · Selena!]

[Congratulations! You have achieved the world-first kill of a Legionbreaker-Tier Boss!]

[Would you like to issue a Server-Wide Broadcast?]

John did not hesitate.

"Broadcast it."

"Do not conceal my identity!"

The next second—

A grand system voice echoed in the ears of every player.

[Server-Wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to player "Endbringer" for achieving the world-first kill of the Lv50 Legionbreaker-Tier Boss "Nightstalker · Selena"!]

[With Strength far beyond the current era, he has accomplished a feat considered nearly impossible at this stage of the game!]

[Reward: 50 Free Attribute Points!]

[Reward: Random SS-Rank Mount Egg ×1!]

[Reward: 50 gold coins!]

[Reward: Special Title—First Legionbreaker Slayer!]

[This event will be permanently recorded in the history of Apocalypse!]

[Server-Wide Announcement!]

[Server-Wide Announcement!]

The announcement rang out three times in succession.

The entire game world instantly erupted into chaos.

Meanwhile, the system notifications before John continued appearing without pause.

[You have defeated a Lv50 Legionbreaker-Tier Boss while severely underleveled!]

[You have gained 36,000 EXP!]

[Legionbreaker-Tier Boss world-first kill bonus: 12,000 EXP!]

[Your level has increased to Lv23!]

[Your level has increased to Lv24!]

[Your level has increased to Lv25!]

[Your level has increased to Lv26!]

[Your level has increased to Lv27!]

[Current EXP: 5,710/10,500!]

Five consecutive pillars of level-up light erupted from John’s body.

Attribute notifications, quest notifications, Affix notifications, and loot notifications nearly filled his entire field of vision.

[You have obtained 25 Free Attribute Points!]

[Legionbreaker world-first kill reward: 50 Free Attribute Points!]

[Unique God-Rank Talent "Supreme Evolution" triggered repeatedly!]

[You have obtained an SSS-Rank Affix...]

[You have obtained an SSS-Rank Affix...]

[You have obtained an SSS-Rank Affix...]

The notifications were far too dense.

The corner of John’s eye twitched slightly.

"System."

"Mute notification sounds."

[Notification sounds have been muted!]

The world finally became peaceful again.

At the same time, the reality fractures across the Void Staff erupted with brilliant golden light.

Twenty-four hours had passed since Charon’s death.

The cooldown of [Reality Merge] had ended.

[God-Rank Affix "Reality Merge" triggered!]

[You have obtained a real-world ability: Life Enhancement!]

[Your maximum HP in the real world has permanently increased by 1,000!]

[This ability will be synchronized after your consciousness returns to the real world!]

His real-world HP had increased by another thousand points.

With both synchronizations combined, his maximum HP in reality had now permanently increased by two thousand.

Large clusters of light erupted from the spot where Selena had died.

Crimson.

Gold.

Dark purple.

There was even one item radiating rainbow-colored light.

Equipment and gold coins covered a vast area of the ground.

John lowered his head and began picking everything up.

[You have obtained the SS-Rank Weapon: Darkstar Longbow!]

[You have obtained the S-Rank Equipment: Nightstrider Boots!]

[You have obtained the S-Rank Weapon: Silent Fang!]

[You have obtained the S-Rank Skill Book: Hunter’s Eye!]

[You have obtained the S-Rank Skill Book: Meteor Arrow Rain!]

[You have obtained the A-Rank Skill Book: Skyfall Snipe!]

[You have obtained the SSS-Rank Item: Pet Evolution Card!]

[You have obtained the Special Item: Dark Realm Pass!]

[You have obtained Dark Crystal Gold Coins ×386!]

[You have obtained high-grade Dark Realm materials ×...]

[You have obtained...]

There was simply too much loot.

John spent a long time walking back and forth to collect everything.

After storing the final gold coin inside his Void Arsenal, he held his lower back and leaned against a boulder.

"So much loot..."

"Even picking it all up is hard work."

After resting for a moment, John first opened the skill book.

[Hunter’s Eye]

[Rank: S.]

[Type: Universal Appraisal Skill.]

[Effect: Appraises a target’s level, attributes, skills, weaknesses, and hidden statuses.]

[Appraisal Limit: When the target is no more than 30 levels above the user, most of the target’s information can be obtained.]

[When facing a target with special information-concealment abilities, the appraisal results may be incomplete.]

[Would you like to learn this skill?]

"Learn it."

The skill book transformed into silver light and merged into his forehead.

[You have learned the S-Rank Skill: Hunter’s Eye!]

He had only just decided to search for an Appraisal skill when the city lord’s personal guards took him away.

Now, after killing his first Legionbreaker-Tier Boss, the skill book had delivered itself directly into his hands.

It was like receiving a pillow the moment he became sleepy.

John removed the A-Rank Monocle Lens and equipped the [Faceless Shadow Mask] in his headgear slot.

The moment the pitch-black mask touched his face, it rapidly turned transparent.

His appearance did not change.

However, his name, level, and class information were all concealed.

Whenever he needed a disguise in the future, he could freely alter his appearance and the visual form of his equipment.

John continued examining the equipment.

[Darkstar Longbow]

[Rank: SS.]

[Type: Bow Weapon.]

[Physical Attack +1,380.]

[Agility +200.]

[Critical Rate +50%.]

[Critical Damage +150%.]

[Description: The exclusive weapon of Nightstalker Selena, forged from the core of a Dark Realm meteorite.]

[Notice: This is the first SS-Rank weapon to appear on the entire server!]
