Chapter 65 -65-BOSS RUSH!

Chapter 65: Chapter65-BOSS RUSH!

The defenders of Defensive Sector Seven gradually went from shock to numbness.

The archers lowered their longbows.

The mages lowered their staffs.

Even Rudy slung the Mountainburner Greatbow back over his shoulder.

Everyone stood silently atop the wall, watching John clear the battlefield by himself.

More than ten minutes later—

The final group of Darkwing Predators was pierced by Void Spears.

[The second wave of the Dark Realm assault has ended!]

[Quest Progress: 2/5!]

[You have gained 500 EXP!]

[You have gained 100 Military Merit!]

[Military Merit from personal kills during the second wave: +79,900!]

[Current Total Military Merit: 180,000!]

One hundred and eighty thousand Military Merit!

John nodded in satisfaction.

At this rate, if a few more waves of higher-quality Dark Realm armies arrived, reaching one million Military Merit might actually be possible.

...

After the second wave ended, the defenders atop the wall did not even have time to cheer.

The Eternal Night Gate began shaking again.

This time, there was not even a proper rest period between the two waves.

"The third wave!"

"Why is it here so soon?"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The officers began issuing orders again.

John, however, stared at the figures gradually appearing behind the Eternal Night Gate, his eyes lighting up.

The third wave was no longer a simple beast tide.

Large numbers of Duskborn, Grayscale, Umberkin, and Dark Elves formed a complete military formation.

Mixed among the intelligent soldiers were numerous enormous figures.

John activated [Hunter’s Eye].

[Duskborn Centurion]

[Level: Lv23.]

[Rank: Thousand-Player-Tier Boss.]

[HP: 72,000/72,000.]

[Darkarmored Giant Rhino]

[Level: Lv22.]

[Rank: Thousand-Player-Tier Boss.]

[HP: 85,000/85,000.]

[Burrow Matriarch]

[Level: Lv24.]

[Rank: Thousand-Player-Tier Boss.]

[HP: 93,000/93,000.]

[Umberkin Siege Engineer]

[Level: Lv25.]

[Rank: Thousand-Player-Tier Boss.]

[HP: 78,000/78,000.]

...

A total of eight Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses were scattered throughout the third wave’s formation.

The army’s average level had also risen from roughly Lv20 in the previous wave to between Lv21 and Lv25.

John immediately opened his friends list.

[Endbringer: Class Change Scroll.]

[Endbringer: Get here. Now.]

He then attached his battlefield coordinates.

Less than half a minute after the message was sent, hurried footsteps sounded from behind the wall.

Carrying his spear, Horus ran down the stairway from Defensive Sector Six.

White_Bear and the others had been left far behind him.

John glanced at Horus.

"You got here pretty quickly."

Horus tried his best to keep his breathing steady.

"Heh."

"I was already on the wall behind you."

"I came down as soon as I saw your message."

His gaze quickly landed on the eight Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses.

The smile on his face immediately became even brighter.

The third-wave Dark Realm army began its charge.

John did not waste any time.

He released the SS-Rank Fire Dragon first.

The surrounding temperature abruptly soared.

Two colossal Fire Dragons roared as they flew into the enemy formation and triggered Cleave.

[-1,324,800!]

[-1,324,800!]

Two enormous empty spaces were blasted open in the center of the Dark Realm formation.

Void Spears appeared immediately afterward.

One spear after another precisely avoided the eight Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses, specifically targeting the elites and officers around them.

Black-and-gold streaks of light repeatedly pierced across the battlefield.

After several rounds of attacks, barely any ordinary Dark Realm soldiers remained.

Only the eight Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses John had deliberately spared were left on the battlefield.

The defenders atop the wall had completely stopped attacking.

Everyone leaned over the battlements and watched John single-handedly filter the battlefield.

Every ordinary monster was instantly killed.

Not a single Boss was touched.

His precision made it seem as though he had rehearsed the process countless times.

John raised the Void Staff.

"Thunder Prison Chains."

Rumble!

Dense chains erupted simultaneously from beneath the eight Bosses.

Lightning flashed wildly along their surfaces.

[Double Bind triggered!]

[Chains of Silence triggered!]

[Eight targets have been Bound, Silenced, and inflicted with Thunder Paralysis!]

The eight enormous Bosses froze in place simultaneously.

Their bodies convulsed continuously under the lightning.

John turned toward Horus.

"Go ahead."

"Attack as much as you want."

"They can’t move."

"You only need to deal five percent to each one."

Horus stared at the scene before him, unable to react for a moment.

Eight Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses.

All of them had been neatly lined up and bound together.

They could not even use their skills.

He had never imagined that a Class Advancement Quest could be completed this way.

"Hurry up," John reminded him.

"I can keep renewing the control effect, but I can’t stand here waiting for you forever."

"Got it!"

Horus tightened his grip on his spear and charged toward the nearest Duskborn Centurion.

[War Thrust!]

[-3,860!]

One strike was not enough.

He followed with another.

[-3,472!]

[Effective Damage Ratio has reached 10.18%!]

[Quest Target successfully recorded!]

Horus immediately turned toward the next Darkarmored Giant Rhino.

The Luna Wolf players atop the wall watched the scene, their expressions becoming increasingly strange.

From their perspective—

Eight enormous Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses stood in a row, convulsing under the Thunder Prison Chains.

Meanwhile, Horus looked like a palm-sized toy soldier as he rushed beneath the first Boss and stabbed its feet several times.

Once he confirmed that he had dealt enough damage, he hurried toward the next one.

"Keep it up, Guild Leader!"

White_Bear leaned over the wall and shouted,

"That one still needs a little more!"

"Don’t forget the third one on the right!"

Horus did not even look back.

"Shut up!"

He rushed to the Burrow Matriarch and used three skills in succession.

Then he ran toward the Umberkin Siege Engineer.

John remained standing where he was.

Whenever one of the Bosses was about to break free, he lightly raised his staff.

New Thunder Prison Chains immediately burst from underground.

Crackle!

The Bosses continued convulsing.

Not a single Dawnstar City defender joined the battle.

Thousands of people stood silently atop the walls, watching a Luna Wolf player give each Boss a pedicure one by one.

Several minutes later—

Horus finally completed the last target.

Dragging his spear behind him, he ran back to John.

He was so exhausted that he could barely catch his breath.

"They... they’re all done."

System notifications appeared continuously before the two of them.

[S-Rank Class Advancement Quest "Battle-Hardened Berserker Soul" progress increased!]

[Current Progress: 3/20!]

[Current Progress: 4/20!]

[Current Progress: 5/20!]

...

[Current Progress: 10/20!]

A single attack wave had completed half the quest.

Horus stared at the number 10/20, too excited to speak.

John raised the Void Staff.

"You’re finished?"

"I’m finished."

"Then I’ll wrap this up."

Void Strength rapidly gathered from every direction.

Two SSS-Rank Void Spears appeared simultaneously.

A Fire Dragon also finished taking shape at the tip of his staff.

The next second—

Every skill poured toward the immobilized Bosses.

The Void Spears pierced through their skulls.

The Fire Dragons swallowed their bodies.

The Cleave shock waves and Thunder Prison Chains erupted simultaneously.

Boom—!

The entire battlefield was engulfed in black-gold and crimson light.

The HP bars of all eight Thousand-Player-Tier Bosses were emptied at the same time.

[You have successfully killed Duskborn Centurion Lv23!]

[You have successfully killed Darkarmored Giant Rhino Lv22 ×3!]

[You have successfully killed Burrow Matriarch Lv24 ×2!]

[You have successfully killed Umberkin Siege Engineer Lv25!]

[You have successfully killed Dark Elf Overseer Lv25!]
