I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 894: Chapter 895: Abyss Lord_1

“I smell fresh human flesh!”

A demon from the Abyss, wielding a Demon Battle Axe and clad in heavy armor, roamed back and forth on a vast underground cave square. It suddenly raised its head, sniffing vigorously twice in the air, its eyes gleaming with excitement.

This was the first BOSS of the Abyssal Shadows, but Song Jian could not identify its race. The demons of the Abyssal Hell were innumerable, ranging from the lowest-level inferiors to the highest-level Demon Lords; each demon possessed its own unique skills and characteristics;

The BOSS acting as the first level’s guardian, although a forty-five-level Elite BOSS, had Vitality Points exceeding three hundred thousand, more than double that of a Lord monster of the same level;

“Abyssal Lord Sigurd, Elite Level BOSS, Vitality Points: 320,000/320,000”

A thick aura of darkness emanated from Abyssal Lord Sigurd, weaving through the air like evil tendrils;

Noticing Song Jian’s arrival, Sigurd gripped his battle axe tightly and swung it fiercely forward, creating a sharp gust of wind that slashed a deep mark into the nearby rock wall;

A total of three hundred and twenty thousand Vitality Points made Song Jian frown slightly; the previous Dominator-level BOSS had only had five hundred thousand Vitality Points, yet this BOSS in front of him had already reached three hundred and twenty thousand. This was merely the hard difficulty level; should it be the true difficulty, such a BOSS could very well match the Vitality Points of the double-headed poisonous Jiao, a Dominator-level creature.

However, to tackle the true difficulty dungeon, one first had to clear the hard level dungeon, which meant Song Jian had to defeat all six BOSSes of this difficulty;

Theoretically, there was no difference in strength between the BOSSes in the dungeon; it was only that each BOSS had different characteristics and skills, which made it easier or harder for players to deal with them.

Song Jian first executed the Sword Shadow Clone Skill and then swiftly moved left and right, confusing the charging BOSS, who seemed to hesitate momentarily but then quickly pursued Song Jian’s true body;

With a fifty percent chance of choosing correctly, it wasn’t difficult to guess that this BOSS likely did not have the ability to see through his clone;

Seeing the BOSS chase after him, Song Jian twisted his waist and swung his Sky-breaking Sword, sending over fifty Spirit Swords flying toward the BOSS;

After a booming noise, Sigurd lost nearly eighty thousand Vitality Points—a fearsome amount of damage that even made Sigurd’s eyes reveal a trace of fear. Such a loss of Vitality would require a forty-person team to withstand nearly five minutes of Sigurd’s attacks to inflict;

“You can’t escape, little rat!” Sigurd swung the three-meter-long battle axe with both hands, chopping fiercely forward. A fierce black chi burst forth, rushing toward the front and carving a deep trench into the molten lava ground;

“Damn it, how does a melee BOSS have a ranged attack skill?” Song Jian was hit hard in the back by the black chi, sending him flying. A damage indicator of over a thousand points floated above his head;

Just then, the other Sword Shadow Clone also swung its long sword, unleashing the Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision. Countless Spirit Swords shone brilliantly as they bombarded Sigurd;

The Sword Shadow Clone inherited only 30% of Song Jian’s attributes, and the Thousand Swords Art it mastered was only level one, so it inflicted less than five thousand damage on Sigurd, but it did manage to draw his attention;

“Insignificant reptile!” Sigurd roared angrily and turned to charge toward the Sword Shadow Clone;

The Sword Shadow Clone shared enmity with Song Jian, no matter who inflicted damage on the BOSS, it would immediately attract the BOSS’s aggro. Seeing the BOSS chasing after the clone, Song Jian commanded the clone to execute the Sword Control Skill, starting to dodge the BOSS’s attacks;

The underground cavern’s square was spacious enough to fully utilize the Sword Control Skill, the only limitation was the height; seeing the Sword Shadow Clone skillfully flying in the air, a smile appeared on the corner of Song Jian’s mouth.

Even for him, the Sword Flight Art had required a lot of time and effort to practice; flying with a sword wasn’t as simple as just stepping on one and soaring through the air, it was much more difficult than using steel wings to fly;

However, when the Sword Shadow Clone used Sword Flight Art, it felt incredibly adept, in no way inferior to Song Jian, and what’s more, Song Jian didn’t need to control it himself, everything seemed to be managed automatically by the system.

Just when Song Jian thought the Sword Shadow Clone could at least delay for more than ten seconds, allowing him to wait for his Thousand Swords Art cooldown to end, Sigurd, with his head held high and facing the Sword Shadow Clone half-suspended in mid-air, suddenly let out a thunderous roar, and the two arms holding the battle axe suddenly swelled;

Roar~

After a roar, Sigurd swung his arms, his body also started to spin, and a surge of qi followed his violent rotation, beginning to swirl around his body;

In a short while, a twisted qi tornado appeared, and it extended upwards, reaching the cave’s rock ceiling above;

In a brief moment, numerous smaller offshoots emerged from the qi tornado emanating from Sigurd, and over ten qi tornadoes, each over a dozen meters tall, appeared in the underground cavern, slowly spreading out in every direction;

Song Jian was shocked, even for him, to dodge these qi tornadoes while executing Sword Flight Art in such a difficult environment would be an extremely challenging task, let alone for the Sword Shadow Clone!

Moreover, these tornadoes seemed to have a suction force, pulling nearby objects toward them, and even standing still was a very difficult task for Song Jian;

Looking up at the Sword Shadow Clone, sure enough, its flight path had started to twist, with several qi tornadoes closing in on it. In just five or six seconds, the tornadoes had engulfed the Sword Shadow Clone mid-air, shredding it into pieces;

“With such strength, aside from having fewer Vitality Points than Elite Level monsters, its damage and skills are in no way inferior to an Elite Level BOSS!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Soon, these qi tornadoes turned toward Song Jian, but their speed was too slow. Song Jian turned and retreated towards the entrance of the dungeon; the tornadoes couldn’t keep up with his pace;

Before long, the tornadoes gradually dissipated, and Sigurd took large strides chasing after Song Jian;
