Amid the shock, the yers'' eyes lit up with excitement. The biggest hurdle to defeating the boss had been ovee!


    Everyone''s expressions changed instantly.


    A moment ago, there was despair and fear. Now, the yers reverted to their typical mindset—


    Time to farm the boss! Time for loot! Charge!


    Only Sterl stood silently, watching the Legendary Crystal in Spike''s hand with a flicker in his eyes.


    To anyone else, that item would be a waste, but Sterl could allocate points to learn the legendary ability from the Legendary Crystal.


    Although "Flowing Beads" wasn''t as high-quality as "Shadow Stealth," it was still a legendary ability!


    He pondered how to get his hands on that Legendary Crystal.


    Under Spike''s lead, the yers regrouped.


    Though the World''s Abomination still had terrifyingbat power, each attack was forceful and heavy.


    But with over 200 remaining yers coordinating, it was futile!


    Frontline yers activated various damage reduction skills, while the backline yers cast healing and shields. As long as the World''s Abomination couldn''t one-shot them, it couldn''t break through their formation!


    The boss''s life force slowly but surely dwindled, and after a while, the battle continued.


    As more wounds appeared on the World''s Abomination, it let out another roar.


    Countless waves emerged from the void, and as time passed, the power limit of the Netherworld realm became increasingly unstable. Consequently, the boss''s moves slightly evolved beyond the level of legendary abilities.


    The range of Heaven Water''s tidal summoning was now evenrger!


    In an instant, the azure waters rapidly encircled many yers.


    Despite the yers being somewhat prepared this time, they still couldn''t evade! After all, they were only second ss... facing a legendary ability, especially one that seemed downgraded from Divine Power, they had no chance to resist!


    Numerous water prisons trapped the yers.


    Fortunately, Spike kept his promise. With a pained expression, he quickly activated the Legendary Crystal in his hand.


    The power of Flowing Beads surged!!


    A semi-transparent barrier, resembling flowing mercury, appeared over every yer on the field.


    In an instant, the yers trapped by the tidal waves were freed from control. They felt light as a feather and quickly retreated, distancing themselves from the boss''s attack range.


    Thus, the boss''s formidable move utterly failed!


    The World''s Abomination roared, hunched over! But no matter how hard it tried to absorb energy, it couldn''t draw in a single bit, and its wounds showed no signs of healing.


    "It worked!"


    "Haha, now we just need to finish off this boss!"


    "Kill, kill, kill!"


    ...


    Although the yers had already trusted Spike''s promise, now that Flowing Beads had nullified the BOSS''s ultimate move, theirst worry vanished.


    What does it matter if the boss in front of us has high attributes and powerfulbat abilities?


    The subsequent battle became somewhat tedious.


    The yers followed their usual raid process: dealing damage, healing, and rotating the frontline tanks.


    The World''s Abomination''s life force was rapidly depleting.


    Spike disyed extraordinary valor.Alone with his sword, his attributes boosted by the golden-quality skill, he fought like a war god!


    Facing the boss''s attacks, he even stood at the forefront, shing his de against the boss''s scythe-like hands!


    Although Spike was asionally knocked back, he managed to block the boss''s onught head-on!


    Spike''s efforts significantly reduced the pressure on the other yers.


    The crowd couldn''t help but praise him: "As expected of an S-rank yer, so strong!"


    "You''re invincible, Spike!"


    Amidst the cheers andughter, the World''s Abomination grew weaker. It used itsst legendary ability, which was promptly nullified by Flowing Beads.


    Sterl''s expression suddenly changed.He sensed that the boss''s life force was dwindling, now below 20%.


    Due to the legion contract, yers were considered a team.


    Therefore, the loot was obtained through an internal bidding system within the team. Whenever an item dropped, it was disyed on all yers'' panels, and everyone could bid to acquire it. The resources spent on the bid were then evenly distributed among the remaining yers.


    However, Sterl did not intend to y by these rules. He had already made up his mind to leave the team, deal at least 10% of the damage by himself, and take all the drops.


    Before he could act, he sensed something was wrong!


    The "world" around him felt off! This was the power of the Perfected Law, which granted Sterl his insight.


    He didn''t leave the team but silently stood at the back.


    At that moment, Spike pulled out another golden-quality skill scroll. Golden mes roared around him as he wielded a giant sword, shing fiercely!


    He charged through the "muck" barrage emitted by the boss, cutting through with his sword!


    But the next second...


    Boom!!!


    The BOSS''s body twisted once again, sprouting dozens of scythe-like structures. Its aura also changed dramatically, and its head split open, blooming like a flower to reveal numerous tentacles. It hadpletely transformed into a twisted being, no longer resembling anything human.


    The boss casually swiped its hand!


    Bang!


    The golden armor and giant sword vanished into shards of light.


    Spike, who previously outssed ordinary yers with his double S-rank strength, was instantly killed by this strike.


    The shift in the situation was so abrupt that many yers were caught off guard.


    They stood there, dumbfounded, unable to react!


    It was like a sudden death scenario.


    The World''s Abomination then took a deep breath and exhaled dark purple mes...


    Boom!!!


    The yers were momentarily stunned, but their instinctive reactions drove them to dodge and move away.


    However, the range of the fiery breath was simply too vast, and many yers couldn''t evade it in time. Even those who were merely grazed by the mes found their clothes igniting instantly. They were turned into human torches, screaming in agony as they met their demise.


    "Holy crap, how did it get close to legendary level??"


    "No way! Such a sudden power spike!"


    "We''re doomed, Spike is dead too!"


    Many yers used items and skills to scout the boss''s new attributes, only to find it had evolved to a third-ss, level 150 entity.


    And the basic attributes were terrifyingly high, with all four major stats around 1400 points!


    Now, any yer who gets touched is dead! The boss doesn''t even need to use skills to ughter everyone!


    Even Sterl looked grim. His base stats were all under 300 points. With the boosts from divine descent, Life Ignite, and other enhancing equipment, his actual attribute effects were only around 900 points.


    Previously, before he had evolved his arcane skill to a C-level, he was slightly inferior to the Shadow of Hatred.


    Now, facing the World''s Abomination, Sterl felt crushed for the first time.


    He was so overwhelmed that he didn''t even think about the fact that Spike had been seemingly one-shotted, meaning he wouldn''t get that Legendary Crystal.


    However...


    Sterl noticed something about the aura of the World''s Abomination—it hadn''t recovered its life force.


    "Maybe this is an opportunity?" A gleam shed in Sterl''s eyes. The boss was covered with curses and armor-breaking skills from the yers, so while its attributes were high, the physical/magical damage reduction from its constitution and spirit wasn''t too extreme!


    In other words...


    The boss could one-shot Sterl, but Sterl might also be able to one-shot the boss!


    All hecked now was a powerful offensive method…


    "Allocate points!" Sterl roared in his mind. This time, he added points to his legendary degree.


    The legendary increase for [Divine me Drive] unlocked rapidly!


    [Four Points: When Divine me erupts, it deals additional damage based on the opponent''s lost life force.]


    [Eight Points: You can use the Divine me eruption two more times, with only 75% power.]


    ...


    Sterl was readying himself.


    But on the frontlines, the yers'' morale hadpletely copsed. While they wanted to take advantage of the boss''s low life force and make a desperate counterattack, it seemed impossible.


    The World''s Abomination had entered a frenzied killing state. Without using any skills, it randomly swiped and breathed mes, releasing a few long-range malicious impacts. Any yer hit was instantly killed. To avoid these seemingly simple attacks, yers were forced to flee, leaving no chance to fight back. The boss could take countless hits, but any yer hit by it was dead!


    The continuous wailing echoed:


    "It''s over! We''re really doomed!"


    "Everyone could start preparing to delete their character."


    "Dark Moon Alliance, you bastards! Damn you!"


    "Spike got one-shotted?? No way, if the strongest yer can''t take one hit, how do we fight this?"


    ...


    Everyone was utterly despairing, already nning what small jobs they could do in real life to make a living after quitting [Transcendence].


    It wasn''t just about having a bad attitude.Fighting bosses had basic rules—


    The strongest melee unit couldn''t even withstand one attack, so there was no way to y.


    Within seconds, the yers dwindled rapidly.


    At this moment, a frigid aura suddenly surged.


    The boss''s attention instantly focused on a figure in a water-blue robe below.


    Then...


    Boom!! A st of fiery breath erupted!


    However... apanied by an inexplicable surge of water, the fiery breath was forcibly blocked.


    All the yers present were instantly dumbfounded. Who... who is this expert that has appeared out of nowhere??
