42 Soloing the Boss! A Walk in the Park!
Teresa blinked in surprise, instinctively showing a look of anxiety: "Facing it alone could be life-threatening!"
"Master, the move you used to kill Philip Waldo must have drained a lot of energy, and it won't insta-kill a boss."
"We really shouldn't go!"
By now, she had fully immersed herself in her role, deeply concerned for Sterl's well-being.
It's known that solo killing a boss of the same level is an "achievement"... one that was last achieved over a thousand years ago by a player from the "Tears of the Lamenting Song" clan.
Such a feat is beyond the reach of ordinary players, isn't it?
No matter how talented Sterl might be, this seemed like a suicide mission!
Teresa couldn't shake the feeling that this was a bad idea.
Even with her support, in a critical moment, she could rescue her master and then they could flee...
But Teresa didn't want to see Sterl severely injured.
However...
Sterl ignored his maid's concerns. With a Bloodthirsty Sprint, he appeared right in front of the treant-shaped boss.
Descending God!
Blazing golden flames enveloped Sterl.
After evolving into an SS-grade Starlord, saying the upgrade wasn't significant was an understatement. Sterl's attributes significantly increased, adding a total of 13 points across all attributes, which could be included in the base attributes boosted by Descending God.
This means...
His attributes soared by 26 points, equivalent to a C-grade player leveling up more than four times!
In the midst of the battlefield, the dazzling golden flames surged uncontrollably, unable to be hidden even by the dense forest.
The treant boss, in rage, extended its gigantic branches, furiously slamming down!
Its power was terrifying, smashing an area of tens of square meters with a single hit.
From the ground, countless sharp branches violently sprouted!
"Master!" Teresa, standing on the outskirts, almost couldn't resist intervening.
Her worry was causing chaos. As this female player, fully aware of her master's ability to teleport, was still utterly terrified.
At this moment, Sterl had already teleported above the treant boss.
[Phosphor Fire - Meteor Form]!
Instantly, flames descended from the sky, bombarding everything!
Although the treant boss was huge and had strong vitality, its size made it impossible to dodge the heavenly fire.
In an instant, the intense flames engulfed the entire treant boss!
It turned into a spectacular torch!
The entire forest was set ablaze by the boss, turning into a sea of fire.
Even from a distance, one could witness this magnificent scene. High above, the stars shone with a cerulean light, while on the ground, the similarly blue flames echoed the starlight, resembling a meticulously crafted painting by an artist!
Due to the flames' effectiveness against the treant boss, Sterl's attack caused massive damage.
However, as Teresa mentioned, after a smooth combo, Sterl's energy was significantly depleted.
What Teresa didn't know was that under the starlight, Sterl's recovery speed was also remarkably fast.
Moreover, within the dungeon, the Starfield was unleashed without limit. Sterl's teleportation within the field, which usually consumed star power, now had zero cost.
"You could challenge a boss of the same level!"
"It's just a shame that others have already achieved this feat before. Otherwise, your strength could have significantly increased!"
Teresa babbled on, clearly genuinely feeling that Sterl had missed out...
Sterl, on the other hand, appeared indifferent.
Could the reward for this feat of challenging a boss of the same level be more than the reward I got for challenging a boss before my class advancement?
Impossible.
...
After the boss fight, Sterl, though still in good condition, felt slightly fatigued.
By then, he had squeezed every bit of value out of the Starfall Wilderness. For the time being, he didn't continue his ventures but instead used Teresa's high-end wilderness survival kit. Sterl lay in the tent, using his maid as a pillow, enjoying a massage.
Time flew, and soon the instance was officially coming to an end.
Sterl saw the stars in the sky dimming bit by bit, the ground of the instance cracked, and space itself fissured.
Sterl's primary star was the Star Egg. He could sense that the instance was nearing the end of its life and was about to collapse.
With a faint glow, Sterl and Teresa's bodies are gradually becoming illusory and are about to be teleported back to the dungeon entrance of the Divine Mountain Empire.
Teresa quickly stood to one side, adopting the indifferent posture Sterl had instructed, pretending the two were hardly acquainted.
Finally...
Sterl felt a flash before his eyes. His body lightened, and then he was standing on solid ground again.
This time, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, as if the imminent collapse of the Starfall Wilderness instance had kept him instinctively on edge. Back in the main universe, Sterl felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
Then, he saw a group of extremely surprised players running towards him.
The leader of the intermediate base, Miste, along with many professional players, shouted loudly.
"Thank goodness! Are you alright, Miss Teresa!"
"We're relieved to see you've returned safely!!"
"We don't know what happened to the instance. It suddenly collapsed, and it nearly scared us to death just now!"
"If anything had happened to you, we wouldn't have been able to live with ourselves!"
...
The group was nearly in tears.
At the same time, they brushed past Sterl, running to Teresa's side.
What was that about coming to rescue Sterl, the genius player??
Ha, what a joke!
No one cared!
Not a single person gave Sterl a second glance!!
