Chapter 63: The Oppressive Aura of the Big BOSS
Three level 6!
One level 7!
A total of four Abyssal Corrupted?
Two days ago, in the defense battle of Hexi Village, there was only Xu Feng.
At that time, it had already tormented the Players to death and back!
Although Players had enhanced their skills and equipment greatly over the past two days, boosting their overall strength significantly, it was still an extremely difficult, even impossible task to face four Corrupted at once, each no weaker than Xu Feng and possibly even stronger.
Moreover!
There were not just four Corrupted.
There were also hundreds of elite units on the scene.
Knowing they were bound to die, the Players showed no fear, having mentally prepared themselves, only hoping to gather more intel before dying, or to exhaust the enemy as much as possible to aid future operations.
At this moment, a notification appeared above the message bar.
【Ding, mission completed, your team has been awarded 6000 Contribution Points!】
"Eh, the mission is completed!"
"This really is the base camp of the newbie village's ultimate BOSS!"
"Although we basically walked right into the tiger’s den this time, completing the mission makes it worth it."
"Strange, according to the mission requirements, we must find the Big BOSS to complete the task, so where is Ma Yuanyi?"
"......"
The Players had no time to further observe or probe.
A powerful aura suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly sweeping across the entire field, the resulting pressure even thinning the mist around the Blood Lake.
"Oh my god!"
"Look quickly!"
"What is that thing!"
In the center of the Blood Lake, a small mountain appeared.
Everyone revealed looks of shock.
That was no small mountain, but a giant more than ten meters tall, roughly the size of a three- to four-story building.
【Ma Yuanyi】, level 7 Commander Unit... Introduction: Once the main leader of the Yellow Turban Army, ranked above the Thirty-Six Channel Leaders, now chosen by the Will of the Abyss as a Nightmare Vessel, he is the source of the nightmare shrouding this land, and only by killing him can the nightmare enveloping this land be purified.
"Ma Yuanyi!"
"That's Ma Yuanyi?"
"But what the hell is that!"
"Can that even be called human?"
"Commander-level unit? He’s actually a Commander-level!"
The four major Corrupted, despite various degrees of deformation, still retained basic human appearances, but this BOSS before them bore no resemblance to the human species at all.
What was the concept of ten meters tall?
The Hulk, even after transformation, was only about 2.43 meters.
Even compared to the Hulk, humans standing before Ma Yuanyi would be like mice.
This mountain-like oppressive physique appeared to be stitched together from over a thousand complete human skins, filled internally with thousands of limbs and massive amounts of chaotic flesh and blood, ultimately forming this colossal body.
Players could clearly see.
On Ma Yuanyi’s skin, there were many human face outlines.
These facial skins could even make various bizarre expressions.
Moreover, many limbs twisted and struggled under the skin, with sewn-up cracks at the shoulders, thighs, and neck, from which arms extended, flailing wildly like drowning people seeking help.
Ma Yuanyi’s huge deformed head, with just his two eyes, were each as large as a washbasin, packed densely with eyeballs, forming a honeycomb or compound-eye-like structure.
Twisted! Deformed! Chaotic! Insane!
He was practically the embodiment of all these adjectives!
Although Ma Yuanyi had a twisted body sewn from human skins, limbs, and flesh, his overall physique still roughly maintained a humanoid silhouette, and he wielded a massive weapon fitting his size.
Of course.
For a monster like this.
Its weapon obviously wouldn’t be anything normal either.
Ma Yuanyi wielded a giant hammer over ten meters long, the handle made from countless twisted spines, and the hammerhead a construction of thousands of skulls, roughly the size of a large van.
"So twisted and insane!"
"What the hell were the developers thinking!"
"Is this really a model made by carbon-based life forms?"
"Fuck, am I the only one who thinks this guy is really cool? This is the kind of presence a BOSS should have!"
"Quick! Stop talking! Take a group photo!"
"Make me look handsome!"
"Three, two, one!"
"Done!"
"Awesome, this one’s worth it, this photo will definitely go viral, we’re going to be famous!"
"If this doesn’t go viral, I’ll livestream myself eating three tons of shit!"
"......"
Upon Ma Yuanyi’s appearance, Players immediately activated their Photography Crystals to capture in-game screenshots.
Whether it was the terrifying, chaotic, insane, and overwhelmingly oppressive Ma Yuanyi himself, or the extremely grotesque and bizarre thousand-skull giant hammer in his hand, they gave people a first true taste of what an extreme Abyssal monster looked like.
"Turns out you are merely ants enslaved by the Starsea rats!"
Everyone felt a low roar composed of a thousand different voices blended together echoing in their minds, causing all Players present to feel a wave of dizziness.
【You have been affected by "Abyssal Whispers", all attributes -5, lasting 100 seconds!】
Damn.
He hadn’t even made a move yet.
Just one sentence could debuff attributes!
Ma Yuanyi’s mouth couldn’t produce normal syllables; his voice came from within his body, or perhaps was forcefully projected into everyone’s minds through strong psychic power — in short, hearing him speak made people extremely uncomfortable.
"Mere candlelights, thinking they could illuminate the endless darkness of the Abyss!" Corrupted Feng Xu rasped, "Do you think that just because you defeated Xu Feng, you can challenge and threaten us? Your Lord is utterly foolish, sending you all to your deaths!"
Zhou Bin growled: "Overestimating yourselves will only lead to annihilation. Kill!"
Hundreds of elite monsters began to move.
The Fourth Calamity Army was completely trapped, with no chance of escape, nor did they intend to flee.
"What the hell are you yelling about?"
"How dare you insult our Lord? Courting death!"
"Our Lord is not someone you can slander!"
"Heh, bullying the few with the many, what kind of skill is that? Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
"That's right, by the rules of the Jianghu, one-on-one duels only, no foul play, do you dare?"
"......"
Feng Xu raised his long staff and unleashed a bolt of lightning, instantly striking Street Slayer at the front row, then bouncing through more than a dozen Players, like a chain of lightning.
222 (Lethal Critical Hit!)
114 (Critical Hit!)
106 (Critical Hit!)
229 (Lethal Critical Hit!)
......
Seven or eight Players fell instantly.
The rest were severely wounded.
Every Player was shocked and hurriedly launched a counterattack.
At that moment, dense volleys of arrows rained from the sky, dozens of Rune Magic Wolves and a dozen or twenty Fiend Cavalry charged from another direction to massacre the Players; despite fierce resistance, the power gap was simply too vast!
There was absolutely no chance of victory in this battle!
Not to mention the Big BOSS Ma Yuanyi, who already looked outrageously powerful.
Even among the small BOSSes, aside from Feng Xu, the other three never even made a move.
With Feng Xu's overwhelmingly powerful spell attacks, and the siege of hundreds of elite monsters, the forty Players lasted only three or four minutes before being completely wiped out, barely achieving any results.
There was nothing they could do.
The gap was simply too great.
The Abyss forces had no sense of honor or fairness.
Even though the Players tried to provoke them into duels.
The Fourth Calamity Army was never even taken seriously by the Corrupted.
After all, they were merely the vassal servants summoned by the Starsea Lords; how could they be qualified to challenge the great citizens of the Abyss? Even from a pure strength perspective, they were not worth dueling.
Battle over!
The Fourth Calamity Army was completely annihilated!
