- GTA Chapter 124
The blood-red hook from the Soul Devourer ripped through the nearby decayed ship structure.
But it failed to touch the invisible Qin Feng.
Because…
Qin Feng wasn’t a stationary target!
Every time he released a ‘Shadow Blade,’ he changed his position. Even during the attack, he constantly moved.
Thus, although the boss could trace Qin Feng’s position based on the trajectory of his ‘Shadow Blade’…
It could only deduce where Qin Feng had been when the blade was launched.
With Qin Feng’s speed, by the time the blade left his hand, he had already moved a considerable distance—sometimes more than ten meters away!
Tracking him based solely on the projectile’s path was simply impossible!
Shadow Blades continuously struck the boss’s massive form.
-8,295!
-9,726!
-…
With each of Qin Feng’s attacks, the effect of his ‘Black Flame Ritual’ armor, which reduced the boss’s defense, continued to stack.
This emerald-tier boss had a total health pool exceeding three million.
Within just ten seconds of battle, Qin Feng had already launched ten Shadow Blades, dealing close to two hundred thousand damage.
Suddenly, the Soul Devourer’s hulking mass began to swell. The seven gaping maws stretched and covered its entire body!
In this state, any attack would convert all inflicted damage into tenfold healing, instantly restoring the boss’s health…
This was why Qin Feng avoided using ‘Gifted Liberation.’
The continuous damage from that skill could amplify his output…
But it was uncontrollable. If the boss entered this bloated state, the continuous ‘throat-cutting’ damage from Gifted Liberation would completely refill its health bar!
As the Soul Devourer swelled, Qin Feng felt a powerful suction force dragging him toward the boss.
Simultaneously, a ten-meter-wide pool of blood appeared beneath the boss.
Anyone sucked into this blood pool would suffer constant damage and rapidly increase their ‘Whisper Gauge.’
Qin Feng used an Instant Shadow Slash to teleport dozens of meters away, escaping the suction range.
Next, basketball-sized spheres of blood coalesced in the air around the battlefield.
One by one, these spheres detonated, spraying chunks of blood!
Even with Qin Feng’s speed, getting caught in this barrage would cause his Whisper Gauge to spike dramatically, possibly filling it completely…
Fortunately, Qin Feng remained methodical.
Whenever danger loomed, he retreated dozens of meters, maintaining his distance from the boss.
In this state, the Soul Devourer would slowly regenerate health.
Within thirty seconds, it had consumed the surrounding blood spheres and nearly refilled its health bar.
But Qin Feng remained patient.
The boss’s ‘defense-breaking’ debuff from his ‘Black Flame Ritual’ armor was still active.
After thirty seconds, when the bloated state ended, Qin Feng re-engaged.
Shadow Blade!
-…
-…
Once the ‘Black Flame Ritual’ debuff stacked to fifteen layers, the Soul Devourer’s defenses and elemental resistances were completely nullified!
Qin Feng closed in, dagger in hand, and unleashed a ‘Scarlet Blade.’
-297,000!
After landing the finishing move, Qin Feng quickly retreated, dodging several blood-red hooks that lashed out in retaliation.
Even with zero defense, the emerald-tier boss’s damage reduction attribute meant that damage dealt was never at its theoretical maximum.
Still, the damage was impressive.
The boss’s health plummeted, and it entered another bloated state, creating more blood spheres to slowly recover health…
But this time, its health couldn’t return to full.
Through precise, cautious engagements, Qin Feng whittled it down.
After several minutes, Qin Feng noticed his Whisper Gauge had reached 50%, so he retreated beyond the ship’s cabin.
In this state, a foggy, almost dreamlike haze clouded his mind.
Occasionally, he glimpsed strange and unsettling creatures in his vision.
This effect slightly impeded his actions.
However, once out of the Soul Devourer’s range and beyond the whispers of the ancient god, Qin Feng’s Whisper Gauge began to decrease.
After a few minutes, it dropped to zero, and his mind cleared.
Returning to the battle, he found the boss’s health had climbed back to around 75%.
Emerald-tier bosses often possessed various regenerative abilities.
For instance, ‘Blade of the Demon’ healed upon kills, while the Soul Devourer restored health through blood spheres. The higher the tier, the stronger the regeneration, making these bosses exceedingly hard to kill.
Such bosses were nearly immune to typical swarm tactics.
Qin Feng, however, remained unfazed.
His damage output rivaled that of an elite squad on his own!
As long as he stayed alive, it was only a matter of time before the boss fell.
…
Roughly ten minutes later.
Qin Feng closely monitored his Whisper Gauge. Whenever it reached 50% and his mind grew hazy, he would retreat.
After two such retreats…
When the Soul Devourer had around five hundred thousand health remaining, Qin Feng saw his opening. Wielding his bone-white dagger, he unleashed another ‘Scarlet Blade.’
The boss’s health was below 30%.
This triggered a 200% damage increase from Scarlet Blade.
The attack erupted with nearly six hundred thousand damage, killing the Soul Devourer instantly!
At that moment, a global system announcement echoed in every player’s mind, both in-game and in reality, repeating three times!
—
[Player ‘Shadow (Daxia)’ has achieved the world’s first kill of an emerald-tier boss, earning 30 reputation points!]
—
When the announcement rang out.
Countless people around the world were stunned!
“What the…?! We haven’t even seen a platinum-tier boss, and Shadow’s already soloed an emerald-tier?”
“Oh my God, we just got wrecked by a platinum boss, and he soloed an emerald one?”
“We finally managed to kill a platinum-tier boss through sheer sacrifice, thinking we caught up to Shadow, but…”
“How does Shadow do it? We’ve encountered emerald-tier bosses, but our attacks couldn’t even scratch them!”
“Baka! Where are our Sakura heroes? Why has no one claimed the first kill?”
“This is bad news. With Shadow on their side, Daxia will rise…”
“Aish, who said Shadow belongs to Daxia? We’ve just confirmed it—his ancestors were from our beloved Hanguk!”
…
Meanwhile.
The Feike Heavy Industries players, who had doubted Shadow’s ability to defeat an emerald-tier boss just moments ago, were completely dumbfounded.
Solo-killing an emerald-tier boss!
“What level has Shadow’s power reached…”
Countless people were both amazed and terrified.
Back with Qin Feng, he received congratulations from An Yu, Lin Liyu, Wang Meng, and others.
But he paid no heed, instead focusing on a red mist emanating from the Soul Devourer’s corpse, gathering onto his hand.
Forming a blood-red O-shaped sigil.
—
[Congratulations! You have acquired the ‘Soul Devourer Lineage.’ Would you like to activate it?]
—
Was there even a choice?
Qin Feng activated it immediately!
The power of the blood-red sigil surged through his body!
