Chapter 15

The End, Iron-Clad Nether Spirit

At the border between the Netherworld Mountain Range and Deadman’s Canyon,

Mo Xiao walked forward with a puzzled expression.

“Is there something wrong with this navigation system? It doesn’t seem quite right...”

Following the route indicated on the map, the previously open mountainous environment gradually narrowed, as if entering a mountain pass, and directly ahead was a towering peak, although the map showed that crossing this peak would lead to Deadman’s Canyon.

However, as Mo Xiao moved forward, he discovered that the steepness of the mountain was nearly ninety degrees, making it almost impossible to climb over!

Unless, of course, you could fly.

Furthermore, the number of monsters around him had also decreased significantly, and their levels had increased by quite a bit, occasionally encountering monsters above level 15.

If it weren’t for the scarcity of monsters, Mo Xiao would have considered leveling up directly on this mountain path.

“Forget it, the system’s suggested route probably won’t have any major issues later on. Maybe there will be a tunnel up ahead.”

Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao didn’t bother thinking too much and continued walking forward along the route given by the system.

If he took a wrong turn, he could always turn back.

...

Ten minutes later, there was an open valley at the end of the mountain pass.

And at the end of this valley, there was a faintly discernible cave entrance.

At this moment, in the middle of the valley, a woman dressed in a robe was sitting there quietly, meditating with her eyes closed.

Just then, the woman slowly opened her eyes, “It’s been an hour, time to respawn, right?”

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the entire valley began to shake.

The next moment, a pitch-black beam of light descended from the sky.

“Roar!!!”

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a monster clad in black armor and wielding a metal staff appeared out of thin air in front of the cave entrance.

The woman looked at the monster that appeared and slowly stood up. “It’s the 17th one. I hope you can drop what I’m looking for!”

[Iron-Clad Nether Spirit, Elite Lord Boss]

HP: 50,000/50,000

Strength: 1,000

Agility: 500

Endurance: 1000

Physique: 3000

“An elite lord?”

The woman chuckled, “I didn’t expect to spawn an elite monster. I hope it drops what I want.”

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the valley, Mo Xiao was quietly hiding behind a rock, carefully observing the situation in the center of the valley.

Unlike the calmness of the woman, Mo Xiao was filled with fear.

According to his previous route, when he arrived at this valley, it should be just the right time for this monster to respawn.

If it weren’t for the woman being here, he might have already been defeated.

Mo Xiao wasn’t sure about the rest, but when he saw the monster appear, he used his detection ability.

Whether it was that monster or the woman, all Mo Xiao could detect were a string of question marks, unable to see anything.

This meant that regardless of whether it was that monster or that woman, their levels were at least 40 levels higher than him.

“This is supposed to be a level 5-10 map... Why are there monsters forty levels higher? This is ridiculous! Aren’t they afraid of newbies dying here?”

Mo Xiao couldn’t help but gulp.

If this was a game made by a game company, the company’s plan would definitely be criticized to death by players.

Just as Mo Xiao was letting his imagination run wild, the iron-clad nether spirit roared and charged straight at the woman.

The huge hammer lit up with a dark blue light as he moved.

It smashed towards the woman with terrifying power.

However, this woman remained calm at this moment.

She casually took out the pitch-black staff from behind her.

Then, she suddenly struck it forcefully on the ground, instantly summoning numerous skeletal figures out of thin air.

They formed a strange skeletal armor layer around her.

“Bang!”

The next moment, there was a loud thud as the gigantic hammer heavily struck the armor.

-0

Seeing that huge zero, Mo Xiao’s eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, this extremely imposing boss could not even break through her defense.

At the same time, two green magic arrays appeared beside her.

Then, dozens of heavily armored skeletons swiftly emerged from the magic array.

They pounced at the iron-clad nether spirit in front.

Immediately, countless numbers appeared above the iron-clad nether spirit’s head.

His health bar decreased at a crazy speed as if it were draining water.

“This is a hidden profession, a necromancer?”

Mo Xiao was surprised after witnessing the woman’s attack methods.

He didn’t expect that such a beautiful woman would have a profession that involved dealing with corpses and skeletons.

Following that, every attack from the woman would take away a large chunk of the iron-clad nether spirit’s health points.

As for iron-clad nether spirit’s attacks, they would be dodged or nullified by the woman every time.

It was a very easy fight.

Soon, iron-clad nether spirit’s health was reduced to just 1%.

However, his body was suddenly enveloped in a golden aura.

“What is this?” Curious, Mo Xiao examined the status bar that suddenly appeared. n0veluSB.c0m

[Desperate Dominance: When a high-level boss reaches the last one percent of their health, they will enter this state. They will ignore all attacks and control until unleashing a deadly move!]

Observing this, the woman raised her staff and calmly said, “Even elites are just like this. The final blow~”

Just as the woman was about to use her skill, a green claw suddenly appeared behind her.

In that instant, a trace of astonishment flashed across the woman’s face, indicating that she was unaware of this move from the monster.

“Oh no!”

She was in the middle of chanting her skill and was unable to dodge or move. Her summoned creatures had already been killed by the iron-clad nether spirit.

The next moment, the green claw struck the woman.

It turned her entire body green.

[Soul Break: In this state, the character cannot move, attack, use skills, use items, teleport, or defend. Duration: 10 seconds.]

On the side, Mo Xiao, witnessing this scene, was slightly stunned, “Does she... not know about this move?”

As the golden aura disappeared from the iron-clad nether spirit, the hammer in his hand expanded rapidly.

The woman closed her eyes as if accepting her fate.

“Power Halo!

“Brutal Power!

“Full-strength attack!

“Magic Arrow!”

Just then, a dazzling white arrow flew past the woman’s face.

It instantly hit the iron-clad nether spirit’s head.

-406!

An intense critical hit number instantly appeared above its head.

It directly interrupted his skill, causing him to freeze on the spot.

“He... didn’t die?!”
