It was [The Essence of Chaos] from the Army of Catastrophe!
Guan Ren's gaze darkened as he looked towards the Boss standing before him, surprised in his heart.
Though it was merely an avatar, it still possessed the strength of a level 20 Gold Boss!
"Hehehe, it seems that leaving a soul essence here was the right choice after all. Sure enough, some ants have stumbled upon good fortune to appear here!"
The Essence of Chaos chuckled sinisterly, its eerie blue eyes emitting a cold light: "The power provided by the five Catastrophe Miasmas, although limited, seems a bit overkill to deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Ren frowned. In his previous life, when the Army of Catastrophe launched a massive invasion on Heaven's Arrival continent, the army's total strength reached five million! All of them were formidable elites.
Among the vast numbers of the Army of Catastrophe, there emerged some generals with overwhelming strength, and The Essence of Chaos was one of these powerful generals.
Though what stood before Guan Ren now was merely an avatar, it was still not to be underestimated!
Summon Poison Wolves!
Guan Ren's gaze intensified, opting to strike first.
In a flash of light, three level 9 elite poison wolves appeared in front of Guan Ren.
Meanwhile, his skill went into cooldown, but under the influence of the Ultimate Acceleration System, the original one-minute cooldown was reduced to a mere six seconds!
[Poison Wolf (Elite) LV9: Attacks carry poison, ferociously unparalleled. Health: 600, Attack: 60, Defense: 50, Skills: Charge, Bite, Venomous]
The elites were present, but their attributes couldn't compare to the Boss's.
However, these poison wolves' attributes were based on Guan Ren's base attributes, constituting 30% of his own, meaning theoretically, the stronger he became, the stronger the poison wolves he summoned would become!
"Hehehe... Accept the judgment of chaos!"
The Essence of Chaos laughed lowly, and a grey mist spread out, settling on the three poison wolves.
[Ding, affected by the "Chaos" skill, the poison wolves enter a state of confusion, indiscriminately attacking surrounding targets, duration ten seconds!]
For a moment, the three poison wolves instantly clashed with each other, with -10 damage numbers continuously floating above them!
However, this wasn't the most important part, as Guan Ren discovered that these poison wolves' attack speed was incredibly fast!
In one second, seven to eight attacks were launched!
"Unexpected... The Ultimate Acceleration System's effect can also apply to summoned creatures! This is... awesome!"
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Guan Ren's eyes darkened, his heart stirred.
Could it mean that he could establish a formidable monster legion?
Bang bang bang!
The Essence of Chaos raised its hand, and three pale purple orbs of light fell onto each of the poison wolves. Under the absolute overpowering strength, the three poison wolves turned into white light and perished.
[The Essence of Chaos · Avatar of Atropos]
Quality: Gold-Level Boss
Level: 20
Health: 200,000
Energy: 100,000
Attack: 450
Defense: 350
Skills: Chaos, Weakness, Corrosion, Abyssal Nightmare
With such a panel, if it were in front of other players now, they would probably have despaired, right?
Even for Guan Ren himself, facing the Essence of Chaos made his breathing become heavy.
Despite his previous life's combat experience and his current powerful attribute panel, he still wasn't entirely sure he could defeat The Essence of Chaos!
Because as it stood, his attack strength simply couldn't break through the opponent's defense!
To successfully inflict real damage on The Essence of Chaos, besides relying on the innate [Penetration] that provided 20 points of true damage, it was necessary to stack the added damage of [Combo Hits], and after a hundred hits, gradually accumulate damage to it!
But obviously, as a Gold Boss and one of the generals of the Army of Catastrophe, with its own rich combat experience, it definitely wouldn't let Guan Ren succeed easily!
After all, it wasn't just a sitting duck.
Moreover, it was strong on its own!
"Kid, prepare to be crushed by the power of catastrophe!"
The Essence of Chaos's icy blue pupils suddenly flashed with cold light, and a brown-yellow spiral energy beam descended from the sky, landing on Guan Ren!
[Ding, you are affected by the "Weakness" skill, all attributes reduced by 50%, duration 30 seconds!]
"Damn it!"
Guan Ren frowned, cursing silently in his heart.
This Essence of Chaos, in his previous life, was famously troublesome in group battles within the Army of Catastrophe, as though his attack and burst were somewhat lacking compared to other catastrophe generals, his skills were a huge headache!
Unlike some ordinary skills that could be dodged, The Essence of Chaos's skills were all targeted, ensuring a 100% hit rate on the target!
Moreover, his skills could significantly weaken one's strength, making him an incredibly troublesome existence in group battles!
With his attributes instantly halved, Guan Ren's attack power also fell to just over a hundred, meaning he now needed to combo over 200 times to break through the defense!
That is, he needed to continuously hit The Essence of Chaos for about fifteen seconds straight while ensuring he wasn't hit by any of the opponent's attacks!
Given most of The Essence of Chaos's skills were targeted, this was nearly impossible!
Meaning, Guan Ren could only rely on the pitiful 20 points of penetration damage provided by his talent to slowly chip away!
Facing The Essence of Chaos with a whopping two hundred thousand health points, it would require ten thousand attacks to accomplish!
Fortunately, the duration of weakness was only half a minute, and if he remembered correctly, the cooldown for Weakness was five minutes, meaning, as long as he survived this period, his situation would be much better!
"Hehehe... Die in agony!"
The Essence of Chaos raised its hands, and a green light once again fell on Guan Ren.
[Ding, affected by the "Corrosion" skill, health decreases by 100 points per second, duration 5 seconds!]
Damn it!
Another targeted skill!
Guan Ren was distressed; the corrosion skill was The Essence of Chaos's main offensive capability, with a cooldown of 10 seconds, a very troublesome skill!
Moreover, given Guan Ren's health was just over a thousand, if not replenished in time, it would only take two Corrosion skills to whittle him down to a sliver of health!
However, fortunately, the normal attacks released by The Essence of Chaos, the grey magical orbs, were non-targeted, allowing Guan Ren to dodge directly with his agility. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have the slightest chance to turn the tables!
20 points of damage is still damage!
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to strike first!
With this thought, Guan Ren no longer hesitated and took the initiative!
Summon Poison Wolves!
Three elite poison wolves appeared, and under Guan Ren's control, they charged towards The Essence of Chaos from three different directions.
For Guan Ren at this moment, the six-second cooldown of poison wolves summoning could not be wasted. Although their attributes couldn't inflict any substantial damage on the Boss, they could block its movement, providing Guan Ren a more comfortable position to effectively output!
