Chapter 20: Instant Kill of the Mutated Boss! Abundant Rewards!

Such a high-level spell.

That expert actually managed to fire three in a row with a mere wave of his hand?

Just how strong is he?!

The brains of countless professionals completely shut down.

High in the sky, Lin Yi had used up all three instant-cast opportunities he had spent a whole day saving up.

In truth, Lin Yi was a very cautious person. He worried that a single Tier 7 "Raging Wave Thousand Storm Break" might not be enough to kill this Level 200 boss. So, he added two more.

With three Tier 7 spells crashing down, surely it couldn't survive that, right?

And if it still didn't die? Lin Yi had already prepared a fallback plan. If it survived, he would just run. If a boss were truly that heaven-defying, it would surely live long enough for him to save up skill points for a few more days and deal with it using an even higher-level spell. He could afford to wait. While others had to wait ten years to take revenge, he only needed ten days to accumulate enough for a Forbidden Spell.

As it turned out, Lin Yi was overthinking it.

The cloud wall collapsed. The violent wind blades, constrained within the wall by magic, began an indiscriminate assault on every target within range. In a fleeting instant, the undead minions just raised by the Death Knight Rivendare were struck hundreds of times. Their remaining bones and rotting flesh were ground into dust by the wind blades, leaving nothing behind.

*Sshhh, sshhh, sshhh!*

The mutated Death Knight Rivendare had high defense as well. The wind blades cut into his heavy armor, creating a dense, continuous friction sound.

The bad news was that even as a Tier 7 spell, the wind-elemental "Raging Wave Thousand Storm Break" did not break the laws of his ancestors; the damage per hit was still quite "scrappy."

The good news was that it scraped both quickly and frequently!

Lin Yi watched as layers upon layers of dense damage numbers erupted above the Death Knight's head. These numbers weren't massive—mostly one or two thousand, perhaps two or three thousand on a critical hit—but the frequency of the damage was terrifying.

Lin Yi only needed a quick estimate to conclude that from the moment the cloud wall fell to the full eruption of the spell's power, less than 15 seconds had passed. Yet, it had dealt no fewer than four thousand attacks in total!

By the time the first "Thousand Storm Break" finished its full eruption, the Death Knight—a mutated World Boss with tens of millions of HP—was already on the brink of death!

Its health bar had less than a third remaining!

However, the second and third "Raging Wave Thousand Storm Breaks" gave it no time to recover. They erupted in rapid succession. This time, Lin Yi watched as the Death Knight Rivendare's health bar was wiped out at the speed of light.

One-shot!

If one were to really count it, this guy even owed Lin Yi another life!

"Roar...!"
"Hiss...!"

Rivendare's dying low growl was filled with resentment. The warhorse beneath him let out a mournful cry before its bones completely fell apart, sliced into ash by countless wind blades, suffering the same fate as the undead minions.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have slain the mutated World Boss: Death Knight Rivendare. You gained 2,200,000 experience points, plus a bonus of 1,500,000 experience points for an over-level kill!]

[Ding! Congratulations, your damage contribution rate in the battle against the mutated World Boss: Death Knight Rivendare reached 100%. You have received 2,000 bound skill points and five 20-point tradable skill point scrolls!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the special quest item: Heart of the Dead. Your job advancement quest "The Death Knight Must Die" has been completed. Please return to the Job Advancement Sanctuary to submit the quest and complete your advancement!]

Three consecutive notifications rang in Lin Yi's mind, proving that this boss, which had been so arrogant and full of life just moments ago, had truly been deleted by him.

"Tsk," Lin Yi clicked his tongue. He clearly felt that the boss was stingy with the skill points. Only a bit over two thousand? If others knew of Lin Yi's thoughts, they would likely weep. Brother, 2,000 bound skill points and 100 points in tradable scrolls, all for one person—that is truly a massive haul! Many people have to grind dungeons for over half a year to earn that amount!

Lin Yi descended slowly from the sky. Surely a boss of this level would drop plenty of good loot?

Sure enough, after landing where the Death Knight and his horse had stood, he found a pile of glittering equipment. One piece even shimmered with a platinum glow! Besides that, Lin Yi saw two skill books lying on the ground.

Skill books again! Lin Yi knew that even for World Bosses, the drop rate for skill books was extremely low. It must have been because he killed a mutated Death Knight that the drop rate was so much higher. Still, he hadn't expected two at once!

Beyond the gear and skill books, Lin Yi discovered that the creature had dropped many materials that looked rare just by their names. These should fetch a high price.

Lin Yi scooped up all the treasures on the ground and scanned his surroundings.

The group of professionals he had noticed from high above had, under his careful control, avoided being injured by the effects of the "Raging Wave Thousand Storm Break." But even without injuries, most of them couldn't withstand the raw power of the successive Tier 7 wind spells, and combined with the difficulty of breathing, they had all fainted.

Well, that saved some trouble. If they were awake now and saw him hogging all the loot from the Death Knight, it would inevitably lead to the cliché drama of people killing others for treasure. This was much simpler.

Quest finished, loot collected, there was no reason to linger.

He activated "Wings of Gale" once more. Lin Yi took to the sky and his silhouette quickly vanished.

Minutes after Lin Yi flew away, two streaks of light arrived from the horizon.

One was a burly man clad in a full set of red armor, his body surging with battle aura, looking incredibly imposing. The other was an elderly man in light green mage robes with white hair and beard, possessing a somewhat ethereal, sage-like appearance.

"What happened here?" The red-armored giant shielded his eyes with his arms. The violent, lingering winds made it difficult for him to adjust to the environment. The world was a vast, hazy blur, and there wasn't a single trace of the mutated World Boss to be found!

Chen Feng was completely baffled. He was a Tier 6 warrior expert sent to assist Canglan City in dealing with this mutated boss. The old man beside him was one of the three strongest individuals in Tianhai City, with strength reaching Tier 7. The two of them coming to handle a boss with a level near 200 should have been a breeze.

Yet, Chen Feng never imagined that after flying at full speed and arriving at the southern outskirts of Canglan, they would not only fail to see the boss, but instead find themselves in the middle of a terrifying storm that was still raging.

Indeed. Even though Lin Yi had already left and the primary power of the "Raging Wave Thousand Storm Break" had finished erupting, much like how the "Dragon Breath of Heavenly Flame" had left a permanent scar on the Howling Forest, the three "Raging Wave Thousand Storm Breaks" had ensured this desolate land would no longer be silent.

It was foreseeable that, without external interference, this region would be plagued by gales of over Level 10 for years to come.
