Chapter 131: Soul damage, the First max-level Epic grade skill
“Ding, congratulations, you have killed the Undead Soldier Commander of the Iron Eagle Kingdom and obtained: 6.27 million experience value, 2000 reputation, free attribute +16, task progress +1.”
“Congratulations, you’ve completed the quest. Please submit the quest as soon as possible.”
A series of notifications sounded in his ear.
Objects that emitted colorful lights were scattered on the ground.
Su Ming walked over to pick up the dropped items.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, you have obtained: 689 gold coins, ” [Iron Eagle Honor Sword – Diamond], [Frost Heavy Armor – Diamond], [Deterrent Skill Book – Gold]……”
He obtained a total of 2 Diamond grade, 3 Gold grade, and 32 equipment of other quality.
This harvest was very good.
After killing the BOSS, his experience points had reached 7.45 million.
Thinking about it, Su Ming didn’t hesitate to spend 5 million experience points to upgrade [Holy Shadow Extinction] to the max level.
This was the first max-level skill!
[Holy Shadow Extinction – Epic]
Level: 10 (MAX/MAX)
Effect: Summons 5 Holy Shadows that imprison an enemy for 4 seconds, and deal (3600+ Spell attack X560%) True damage. Cooldown Time: 11 seconds. Consumes 440 MP.
“Let’s go back and submit the quest.”
Su Ming thought to himself.
He would be able to get the [Ultimate Dragonization skill book] after he obtained the treasure of the Iron Eagle Kingdom.
Su Ming turned around and headed towards the city gate.
Suddenly, a notification sounded in his ear.
“Ding, [Evil Thought Perception] is triggered and a unit that has malicious intent towards the owner has been detected.”
What happened?
Su Ming’s eyes narrowed as he sped up.
A pitch-black demon soul floated in midair and greedily devoured the souls of the group of soldiers that Su Ming had just rescued.
The nameless ghost that was at the entrance of the city was trapped by a gray soul rope.
Sensing Su Ming’s aura, the Demon Soul looked over with its blood-red eyes and said with a sly smile: “Human, thank you for allowing me to enjoy the meal. As a reward, I will devour you in the end! Thank me! Jie Jie……”
Suddenly, it waved its hand, and a chain formed by gray mist tried to wrap around Su Ming’s body.
“Ding, [Pure Light] has been triggered, and the Soul Imprisonment effect has been removed!”
Su Ming used his probing skill.
[Soul Devouring Demon Lord – Diamond]
Level: 45
Title: Lord
HP: 10.2 million
Attack: 110,000
Defense: ?? /25000
Skills: Soul Lock LV6, Soul Whip LV6, Scream LV6, Demon Soul Summon LV6, Soul Devouring LV5
Lord’s Aura: In the nearby area, +20% to all attributes of friendly units lower than their own title.
Sin: 243100
“There is something wrong with these attributes.”
Su Ming immediately became cautious.
The [Soul Devouring Demon Lord] and the [Undead Commander Kolos] of the Iron Eagle Kingdom were the same level 45 BOSS. However, their attributes were too different.
Obviously, this was not normal.
When the BOSS saw that Su Ming was not confined, he was stunned and said, “I didn’t expect you to have the means to evade my soul lock. In that case, I’ll eat you first.”
In the next moment, the BOSS held a long gray whip and swung it towards Su Ming.
It was its skill: [Soul Whip]!
Shadow Flash!
Su Ming launched his skill at the speed of light and avoided the whip attack.
However, something unexpected happened. The whip suddenly changed direction and chased after Su Ming.
This was a lock-on skill.
Frost Barrier!
A faint radiance appeared on the surface of Su Ming’s body, and when the soul whip hit him, the word [Immune] appeared above his head.
1.2 seconds later, Su Ming gained 91,339 shield points.
Night Guard!
Desperate Shield!
Su Ming simply used another skill that consumed all of his shield points, and a golden ring of light quickly spread toward the B0SS.
-392608!
-392608!
-243100!
“Ding, [Broken Hope] has been triggered!”
The damage caused by this BUFF also triggered the additional True damage of the [Eye of Holy Judgment].
As a result, the Soul Devouring Demon suffered a huge amount of True damage.
Holy Shadow Extinction!
Su Ming’s attacks followed one after another. Five golden shadows turned into streams of light and instantly attacked to kill the BOSS.
-160,000!
-160,000!
-240,000!
……
With the double damage bonus effect of [Desperate Shield], a max-level [Holy Shadow Extinction] dealt more than 2.85 million points of True damage, and HP of the BOSS instantly dropped by nearly one-third.
This damage was horrible.
Su Ming launched a stormy spell attack.
The HP of the BOSS continued to decrease.
Ten seconds later, the HP of the BOSS was only less than one million.
“Human who offended me, give your life!”
The BOSS finally used its ultimate move, and suddenly a group of gray demon souls appeared around him. They launched attacks on Su Ming one after another.
Dark Night Defense!
Su Ming used his shield defense skill, and a black energy shield appeared on his body.
However, the demon souls easily passed through the energy shield.
-11350!
+12780!
-11350!
+12780!
……
Every second, a gray damage figure would appear on Su Ming’s head and his health bar would be reduced by a fraction. However, his HP would be restored to full because of the [Shield Blessing].
The shield value did not decrease even after being attacked.
“So it’s soul damage.”
Su Ming realized and understood that this was the trump card of the BOSS.
Soul damage was different from physical damage and spell damage. It couldn’t be reduced with defense, but the damage immunity effect would affect it.
It had some characteristics of True damage.
“Since this is the only thing you can do, you can die.”
Su Ming waved his hand to cast [Holy Shadow Extinction], and under the attack of five golden shadows, the Soul Devouring Demon Lord died a violent death.
“Ding, you killed the [Soul Devouring Demon Lord] and gained: 6,270,000 experience points, 2,000 reputation points, and +16 free attributes.”
“Ding, congratulations on reaching Level 44. You have gained: Strength +90, physique +90, agility +90, spirit +100.”
“……”
Su Ming directly reached the next level.
At this time, the soul lock on the nameless ghost had dissipated.
The souls of the soldiers devoured by the [Soul Devouring Demon Lord] also reappeared.
“Adventurer, thank you for saving my companions. This is the key to the Iron Eagle Kingdom’s treasury. I’ll give it to you.”
The nameless ghost said gratefully.
The quest notification sounded.
“Ding, congratulations on completing the Diamond Grade quest [Purify the Undead Soldiers of the Iron Eagle Kingdom]. You have obtained: 500,000 experience points, 1200 gold coins, free attribute points +16, [Treasure Key – Special].”
After Su Ming took the key to the treasury, the hundreds of souls in front of him gradually disappeared in the air.
The quest was considered to be successfully completed.
Then he added the 48 free attribute points to his Spirit.
