“Xing Xing Bu Kong” comforted her, “No! It’s not like that! Little Fairy sister, you’re too kind, too innocent. If we can get through this stage, everyone will definitely gain something unexpected. And since we have the Main Character Halo on us, we’ll surely turn danger into safety. So they’re just basking in our light!”
Little Fairy sister nodded vigorously, “Brother Xing Xing, you’re right. I was too narrow-minded just now. We’re actually helping everyone!”
“As long as you understand,” Xing Xing Bu Kong said with relief, “The BOSS has appeared. As the protagonists, how can we not rush to the scene?”Â
With that, the two of them held hands and went off to find the BOSS.
***
Soon, everyone gathered in front of the BOSS.
Yun Feibai looked around and asked, “Does anyone know this BOSS?!”
The crowd shook their heads together.
They had no impression of such an obscure creature; they didn’t even know there was any record of this BOSS on the continent.
Yun Feibai gave a brief introduction, emphasizing the BOSS’s high-ranking status.
After that, everyone had at least some understanding of how powerful this BOSS was.
After all, Yun Feibai’s serious expression was very convincing.
Besides that, everyone’s attitude toward Yun Feibai and Su Luo became more respectful.
At first, they just thought these two were experienced players who had played a few rounds, but they hadn’t expected them to be High-level Players.
According to their words, this BOSS should be a rare and formidable one, yet these two actually knew about it.
A Li Ya thought to himself that they must have encountered it before, otherwise how could they be so knowledgeable?
What A Li Ya didn’t know was that Yun Feibai had only looked up the information out of curiosity and interest, not because he had met it before.
After all, which boy didn’t dream of being a superhero saving the world when they were young?
***
The group slowly surrounded the massive BOSS with heavy steps.
From the BOSS’s sharp eyes, it was clear that it possessed human-like intelligence—and not a low level of it either.
It didn’t move, merely looking down on the ants swarming around it with disdain.
Just like a person wouldn’t care about a few ants encircling them, it simply waited with interest for Su Luo and the others to surround it, making no attempt to stop them.
Su Luo understood that this was because the BOSS was absolutely confident in its own strength, hence its arrogance and indifference.
At the same time, she suspected this System BUG wasn’t accidental, but deliberately caused by the BOSS.
It was obvious this BOSS knew how weak they were, and that it could be easily defeated.
But if it had appeared in its proper high-level dungeon, those players would not find it so easy.
So this BOSS probably found some way to cross from the high-level dungeon into the low-level dungeon.
This might not be just one monster crossing boundaries, but a large-scale boundary breach.
If that were true, then the other low-level dungeons would be very dangerous—at least far more dangerous than now.
After all, a high-tier BOSS with doubled attributes would have formidable attack power, and they might not be able to beat it.
They would have to rely heavily on Red Potions just to survive.
Fortunately, their side had a Priest, making healing much easier.
Su Luo gathered her focus and moved with the others.
The Assassin, Tank and Warriors moved close to the BOSS, while the Mages and Priest stayed behind for ranged attacks.
They arranged their formation.
Yun Feibai cast the first skill, and then everyone started unleashing their abilities together.
The BOSS was clearly enraged.
To it, this was like a swarm of ants encircling and biting it hard.
The most intolerable thing was that these ants’ bites actually hurt.
The result of its anger was the BOSS unleashing its ultimate skill—something no one expected.
Usually, BOSSes only unleash their ultimates when their health drops halfway.
The BOSS’s black spots all transformed into black holes, and one by one, Flame Monsters emerged from them.
While everyone was momentarily stunned, Su Luo reacted quickly, shouting, “Attack! What are you waiting for?!”
Only then did everyone snap out of it.
This isn’t some anime where the magical girl transforms before fighting.
Why wait like a villain until the protagonist finishes transforming before attacking?
Everyone’s skills immediately turned toward the Flame Monsters.
When the Flame Monsters appeared, the big BOSS couldn’t move, giving Su Luo time to study the data.
‘The big BOSS’s health was 5,000 points. Its attack power was unknown, but it likely had multiple skills and could summon Elite Monsters. Right now, its skill was summoning small monsters from black holes. The BOSS had eight black holes that could summon minions. It was unclear how many minions each hole could summon.’
Su Luo loudly relayed this information, catching everyone’s attention.
These two really were impressive—no wonder they were High-level Players.
This was the common thought among the players present.
***
Everyone attacked the minions fiercely.
Under Su Luo’s command, each person guarded a hole.
Yun Feibai was fast and took responsibility for two holes because Su Luo needed to focus on healing everyone and couldn’t cover her own holes.
Quickly, the minions were shattered despite everyone’s Attribute Boosts.
When the BOSS finished casting its skill and all the minions had appeared, only two or three small Flame Monsters remained on the field.
Everyone sighed in relief.
This was manageable.
If there were too many, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Facing the BOSS’s full-strength attacks along with minions causing chaos would be a huge problem.
The BOSS clearly didn’t expect that after its ultimate, only five or six minions actually appeared.
Its orange-yellow glow started pulsing violently.
Everyone could see it was furious.
But no one cared whether it was angry or not.
After all, encountering a System BUG like this was frustrating enough, and the danger level had multiplied.
Everyone was angry too.
Who doesn’t want to be safe?
They increased their attack speed and focused on the last few minions.
After clearing the small monsters, their skills once again struck the BOSS.
Finally, the BOSS began its own attack.
Its fiery flames shot out like meteors in all directions, hitting anyone they touched with massive damage.
Just one hit from the BOSS could drop someone’s health bar to half.
Su Luo calculated carefully.
‘Since everyone’s attributes were doubled, if each originally had 25 health points, now they had 50. In other words, the BOSS’s single attack had 25 attack power.’
She quickly relayed this warning to everyone, urging caution.
The group continued attacking relentlessly, but Su Luo felt like she was about to be overwhelmed.
Others only needed to spam skills, not even worrying about missing, since the BOSS was so large that missing was almost impossible.
But Su Luo’s situation was different.
She had to constantly monitor everyone’s health.
The moment anyone dropped below half health, she had to heal them immediately.
Otherwise, if they got hit again, they would die on the spot.
And since the BOSS’s attacks were so brutal, Su Luo’s healing frequency was very high.
Su Luo was actually the kind of person who didn’t sweat much.
Back in school when running 800 meters, while others, boys and girls alike, would have sweat beads on their foreheads and necks after finishing, she would just be breathing hard at most.
But now, under high heat and intense activity, sweat beads the size of beans slid down her temples.
Her breathing was heavy, her chest rising and falling sharply.
It was obvious she was exhausted.
Su Luo felt this was the most tiring moment in her eighteen years of life.
In contrast, except for Yun Feibai, the other players felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.
Although tired, seeing themselves fighting a big BOSS but their health bars remaining in the green was extremely satisfying.
Normally, fighting monsters was tiring enough, and on top of that, they always worried about their fragile health bars, afraid one mistake would lead to death.
But now, there was no such worry; their health bars were almost always full.
The moment it dropped below half, a white light would flash, and their health instantly refilled.
What kind of high-level, skilled Priest was this?!
At first, they didn’t trust this Priest much.
They even feared she might only heal her teammates and ignore the rest.
After all, they had seen players like that before.
But gradually, everyone relaxed and stopped worrying about their health.
Because every time they checked, their health was green—so comfortable!
Everyone thought silently, having a Priest backing them up made them feel incredibly safe!
But A Li Ya knew clearly that they were only this relaxed because they had met a truly good Priest.
A Li Ya had met Priests before, but none like the one they faced today.
First of all, that Priest never cared about anyone else’s health and only healed if you begged him.
Otherwise, he was completely blind—no matter how red your health was, it was as if he didn’t see it at all.
