Chapter 284: Violent Mu Xianxian
Skill: Damage Curse!
[Damage Curse (level 35): curses enemies within a range of 27.5 meters and increases the damage they receive by 27.5%. Duration: 1 minute]
The cavern was bathed in a sinister red glow as the curse took hold. The cavern’s mirror-like walls reflected the light endlessly, transforming the once ice-blue expanse into a blazing crimson.
The level 35 Damage Curse was significantly weakened by the Ice Demonic Dragon’s trait, only doubling the damage instead of its full potential. Dragons and Dragonkind possessed a resistance to curses due to their powerful bloodline.
Despite this, the twofold damage boost was remarkable given the already high attack power of the Skeletal Warriors. They unleashed their skill atop the Ice Demonic Dragon, causing icy blood to splatter and agonized roars to fill the air.
Suddenly, the Ice Demonic Dragon shimmered, and a thick layer of ice crystallized across its body, freezing all the Skeletal Warriors on its back.
Skill: Massive Freeze!
The temperature in the cavern plummeted. Ice coated the Skeletal Warriors on the ground, reducing their movement to a crawl, mimicking the effects of a Slow Curse. However, the Lich Generals quickly responded, using Nullify to dispel the control status from the skeletons.
Protected by Bone Armor, Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian withstood the freezing attack. While Massive Freeze carried some offensive power, it wasn’t strong enough to threaten them. Its strength lay in its control ability, which proved ineffective due to the Lich Generals’ presence.
The Ice Demonic Dragon roared in fury, radiating a rich blue light.
Skill: Frostbound Land.
Snowflakes began to fall, each one sharp as a blade, and then exploded upon contact, freezing the Skeletal Warriors. Once more, the Lich Generals hurried to heal and free their troops.
High above, the Ice Demonic Dragon circled, refusing to descend. Its aerial advantage rendered the Skeletal Warriors useless. Lin Moyu, watching from below, could only rely on the Skeletal Mages.
"My summons can’t fly, how troublesome." Lin Moyu muttered, recalling the undead dragons from his class awakening vision. If only he could summon such creatures.
The Ice Demonic Dragon’s wide-area control skills were impressive, but their power remained insufficient to pose a threat to the Skeletal Warriors. The battle entered a deadlock.
Lin Moyu wanted to raid the dungeon a few more times. Growing impatient, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Fire flared in his palm, and the Ice Demonic Dragon let out a shriek of agony, its massive form quivering unstably in midair.
Lin Moyu unleashed Soul Blaze repeatedly, each cast causing the Ice Demonic Dragon immense pain. The Demonic Dragon's focus shifted to him.
"Come down if you dare." Lin Moyu muttered under his breath.
The Ice Demonic Dragon refused to descend, letting out a series of deafening roars. Subsequently, blue light erupted from its body, brighter and more intense than before.
Skill: Super Ice Blast!
As the skill activated, the entire cavern began to tremble violently. The thick layers of ice covering the walls and floor shattered, raining down massive chunks of ice. As the ice chunks hit the ground, they exploded like fireballs, releasing a terrifying aura that swept across the battlefield.
Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor crackled under the strain. His expression grew serious—he had initially believed the Ice Demonic Dragon’s skills were focused solely on control, but the sheer offensive power of this attack made him reconsider. The skill was both a devastating and sustained attack.
One by one, the ice chunks exploded, burying the Skeletal Warriors under a massive amount of ice. Even Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian found themselves engulfed by the icy barrage.
Suddenly, an intense sense of danger surged through Lin Moyu. The threat escalated rapidly, reaching a critical point in mere seconds. Without a second thought, he recalled his undead legions and shouted, "Defense!"
Mu Xianxian sensed the danger as well. The moment Lin Moyu’s words left his mouth, she activated her skill.
Skill: Total Defense.
As the skill was activated, a massive explosion tore through the cavern.
Lin Moyu quickly realized the true nature of Super Ice Blast. It was a skill that dealt continuous damage, culminating in a catastrophic final explosion. Despite his quick reaction, some of his Skeletal Warriors were restrained by the ice and couldn't be recalled in time. He lost contact with them in the blast—they were gone.
His Bone Armor shattered under the impact, and a terrifying force slammed into him. He sensed his skeletons in the summon space perishing in batches. Thanks to his passive Elemental Resistance skill, all elemental damage was reduced by four times, but even with this reduction, due to Damage Transfer’s effect, nearly a hundred Skeletal Warriors in the summon space were wiped out. Additionally, dozens of skeletons that were not recalled in time were obliterated.
In that single attack, Lin Moyu lost over 150 skeletons. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing that if he hadn’t reacted quickly and recalled most of his forces, his undead legions would have been annihilated.
The power of the attack was overwhelming. It wasn’t just the power of the Ice Demonic Dragon, but also included the energy from every ice chunk in the cavern. Now, with the ice blown away, the cavern’s pitch-black rock walls were exposed.
The reason it was so powerful was because it could only be used once.
"No wonder it hit that hard. We’ll need to be careful from here on."
Mu Xianxian, still pale, nodded in agreement. "That was close." She said, her voice shaky. Thanks to Total Defense, she had escaped unscathed.
A roar echoed through the cavern, carrying a hint of weakness. Mu Xianxian looked up, her Combat Instinct flaring—this was the perfect opportunity.
Without hesitation, she let out a shout and slammed her feet into the ground, launching herself into the air with enough force to crack the ground beneath her.
"What a violent girl!" Lin Moyu thought, surprised at the sudden burst of power. Despite not being a combat-type class, Mu Xianxian’s attributes were far from weak.
Before the Ice Demonic Dragon could react, Mu Xianxian was already upon it, gripping a scale with one hand. With her other, she brought down her glowing platinum rank maul.
Skill: Daze!
Though the chance of stunning a boss was slim, luck was on their side. The maul connected, and the Ice Demonic Dragon was thrown into a stunned state, plummeting toward the ground.
“Now’s our chance!” Lin Moyu wasted no time. He summoned his undead legions, and they unleashed a relentless assault.
The Skeletal Mages fired volleys of concentrated fire, while the Skeletal Warriors leaped into position, releasing their skill. The five-second stun was precious, and Lin Moyu intended to make every moment count. He summoned Soul Blaze from his palm, adding to the barrage.
Meanwhile, Mu Xianxian cast Collection, flinging a burst of fireworks that enveloped the Ice Demonic Dragon in radiant light. Her movements were swift and fluid, her Combat Instinct already fully deployed. The timing between her and Lin Moyu was perfect—the entire exchange took less than 0.5 seconds.
Even before the Ice Demonic Dragon hit the ground, the Skeletal Mages’ spells had already landed. The first wave of Skeletal Warriors intercepted it midair, unleashing their skill and striking as one. The second wave followed, then the third. By the time the Demonic Dragon finally crashed into the ground, four waves of Skeletal Warriors’ attacks had hit it.
Without wasting any time, more Skeletal Warriors leapt onto the Ice Demonic Dragon, attacking every inch of its massive frame and releasing their skill. In the period of five seconds, nearly every Skeletal Warrior had struck, while the Skeletal Mages had unleashed five full volleys of concentrated fire.
It was a total gang-up—a brutal, relentless beatdown.
As the Ice Demonic Dragon recovered from the stun state, it let out a weak, pitiful roar. To Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian, the sound was unmistakable—the cry of a dying beast. The battle was over.
Though Lin Moyu’s undead legions had delivered the finishing blow, he knew the real hero was Mu Xianxian. Without the five seconds she earned him, the fight would have dragged on much longer.
[Killed Ice Demonic Dragon, EXP +5,600,000]
[Obtained Dragon Crystal x4]
[Obtained Dragon Crystal x4 through Collection]
[Dragon Crystal: has a chance to awaken a talent after use. No usage limit, but can only awaken one talent.]
In the Demonic Dragon Hall dungeon, no equipment dropped—only Dragon Crystals. Typically, each run would yield three to six crystals, but this time they managed to gather eight: four from the regular drops and four from Mu Xianxian’s Collection skill. It was an exceptional haul.
Among the many Demonic Dragons, the Ice Demonic Dragon was considered relatively weak. As long as one could survive its Super Ice Blast, taking it down wasn’t too difficult.
Lin Moyu glanced at the hexagonal Dragon Crystals, brimming with rich energy. "I have you to thank. You did very well."
Mu Xianxian beamed at the praise and giggled, "Then let’s keep going."
"Alright." Lin Moyu nodded, "Let’s continue!"
