- Online Game : God Level Assasin, I am The Shadow!
- GTA Chapter 79
At the entrance of the valley.
Six official players were stationed there, their job being to warn other players not to enter the valley and risk being wiped out by the seven Gold-tier bosses gathered inside.
When Qin Feng rode past them on his Phantom Nightwolf, they didn’t even notice him.
“This is so depressing, getting assigned to this godforsaken place. We’re wasting our leveling time just sitting here.”
“Do you think *Shadow* can actually take down those bosses?”
“I doubt it. Didn’t Director Dai and his team just try? They barely managed to kill one, and then it revived right after!”
“Whatever, we gave *Shadow* ten years of lifespan to deal with it. If he can’t do it, that’s his problem.”
“Heh, an endlessly reviving boss, and he still took the job…”
…
Qin Feng couldn’t care less about this group.
He didn’t even glance at them as he rode straight into the valley.
On the way, An Yu had already filled him in on the situation.
A certain Director Dai, who preferred to remain anonymous, was known to be an avid gamer. Apart from Wang Meng’s team, Director Dai’s squad was one of the strongest among Jianghai City officials.
Before asking for Qin Feng’s help, Director Dai and his team had already attempted the valley.
They had sent a fast knight on a mount to distract six of the bosses, and after about half an hour, they managed to kill one isolated Gold-tier boss by focusing all their attacks.
They succeeded.
But…
As soon as they killed the boss, it revived almost immediately!
And after it revived, all seven bosses’ power surged, wiping out Director Dai’s team in an instant!
An Yu’s exact words were: “To avoid further losses, the officials decided not to continue, so if you don’t feel confident, you can decline…”
Of course, Qin Feng wasn’t going to refuse.
Obtaining an *Ancient God Slate* was never going to be easy.
If it were just seven Gold-tier bosses, the officials could eventually defeat them by sheer force and sacrifice.
But the key issue was that after killing one boss, it revived!
“It seems there’s some hidden mechanic at play.”
“As for what exactly it is, I’ll have to figure it out once I’m there.”
Qin Feng knew what to expect.
*Ancient God Slates* usually spawned group bosses.
Sometimes, these bosses could all be invisible, with such a high stealth level that players walking by would be killed without even knowing what hit them…
Other times, the visible bosses were decoys, while the true boss, a hidden summoner, would revive them endlessly.
Before long, Qin Feng arrived at the valley.
He stood by the edge of a stagnant lake surrounded by mountains and finally saw the seven Gold-tier bosses!
Each boss emitted a dark aura, as if enveloped in black flames. The swirling black mist gave them an eerie and terrifying appearance.
All their names carried the prefix “Cursed.”
*Cursed Head Changer (Gold-tier).*
*Cursed Ratman (Gold-tier).*
*Cursed Digger (Gold-tier)…*
They were grotesque in form—five were humanoid, while the other two were bestial, their bodies emaciated and twisted, with wrinkled skin layered over their limbs, creating a sense of both physical and psychological discomfort for anyone who looked at them.
“These are definitely bosses created by an *Ancient God Slate*.”
“I don’t see the slate itself, but it might be at the bottom of the lake…”
“Either way, I’ll need to deal with these bosses first.”
Qin Feng carefully observed for a while.
But without discovering any useful clues, he decided to take a more direct approach by killing all the bosses simultaneously to see what would happen.
*Cursed* Gold-tier bosses were stronger than ordinary Gold-tier ones.
However, since they were cursed, while some of their abilities were enhanced, others would be weakened.
At the moment, Qin Feng didn’t know what kind of strengths or weaknesses these seven bosses had.
“But my current power is enough to crush Gold-tier bosses at this level.”
“Even if their health and defense are boosted, it won’t make much of a difference.”
“Though I should be cautious about possible damage reflection effects…”
Remaining in stealth, Qin Feng positioned himself in a hidden corner and equipped his *Devotee’s Pendant*, summoning a Silver-tier Devoted Believer.
After summoning the believer, Qin Feng switched back to his higher-stat *Deceiver’s Pendant*.
“Go.”
At Qin Feng’s command, the *Devoted Believer* rushed toward the seven bosses, launching green flames at them from a distance.
-229!
-233!
-267!
…
A series of burn damage numbers appeared above the bosses’ heads.
While the damage from the *Devoted Believer* wasn’t particularly high, it was enough to confirm that these bosses did not have any damage reflection effects!
*Boom! Boom!*
As soon as the believer attacked, the seven bosses retaliated.
Two of the cursed Gold-tier bosses spat out black sludge from a distance, instantly killing the Silver-tier *Devoted Believer*.
But right after that…
“Since there’s no damage reflection.”
“Then…”
“Die!”
Qin Feng sprang into action, moving forward in stealth, his figure blurring as he dashed between the seven bosses. Blade lights flashed as they sliced into the twisted, emaciated bodies of the cursed bosses.
*Shadow Strike!*
-14,297 (Weak Point Attack)!
-14,519 (Weak Point Attack)!
-13,888 (Weak Point Attack)!
…
Under the effect of the mythical-grade *Redemption*, all these bosses were like walking weak points to Qin Feng.
No matter what skill he used, it resulted in a weak point attack!
With the high damage from his *Shadow Strike*, the health bars of the seven bosses were instantly depleted!
Still, Qin Feng remained cautious.
After all, An Yu had said that these bosses could potentially revive—at least one of them had done so before.
Sure enough…
As Qin Feng withdrew to a safe distance, he watched as the seven bosses dissolved into a cloud of black mist. Not only did they leave no bodies behind, but there was also no loot either!
Most disturbingly, the seven clouds of black mist quickly coalesced, reforming the seven Gold-tier bosses once again!
For any other player—like Director Dai—this would have been utterly demoralizing.
After all that effort to kill a boss, not only did it drop no loot, but it also revived immediately!
Who could deal with that?
But Qin Feng…
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the seven revived bosses now bore new symbols on different parts of their bodies.
“They’ve each got a new symbol.”
“There are seven symbols in total.”
“And their meanings are… ‘Heaven,’ ‘Disaster,’ ‘Ancient,’ ‘God,’ ‘Uto,’ and ‘Os?’”
These symbols were written in the ancient language of the gods.
Even Qin Feng didn’t recognize all of them.
But he did recognize…
*The Ancient Calamity God Uthos*. He had encountered this name many times in his past life—it was the name of a powerful ancient god in the history of *The Forsaken Game*!
So, he instantly understood the meaning behind the seven symbols!
“Does this mean I have to kill these bosses in a specific order?”
Qin Feng wasn’t entirely sure.
Every *Ancient God Slate* had different mechanics when it came to the group bosses they created.
Fortunately for Qin Feng, killing bosses wasn’t particularly difficult, so he could afford to experiment.
For other players, discovering the mechanics of an *Ancient God Slate* could be a grueling process, often requiring countless kills of the same bosses.
Players with less power or luck might spend ten days or even half a month without figuring it out.
But for Qin Feng…
Killing bosses?
That was just a matter of using the right skill!
