Sean was the first to speak, yelling, "Are you fucking kidding us? You think conquering a maze is child's play? With your skills—"
Before he could finish speaking, several vines that had somehow extended out suddenly sprang up and instantly wrapped him up tightly!
Sean's unspoken words were naturally interrupted, and his desperate struggles were futile in breaking free of the vines' restraints; instead, he was entangled more and more tightly.
Lin Fan and Liz were both startled, and their gazes toward You Che and the other person became wary.
You Che was also somewhat surprised. He glanced at Qing Ling beside him and noticed that the girl seemed to be very dissatisfied with Sean's attitude, so she took action herself.
You Che patted her, signaling her to relax a little, and then, with an expression that said everything was expected, he said to the other two, "Don't overthink it. This guy just talks too much, so we're just making him quiet down."
"As for what I said about clearing the other areas, believe it or not, you'll find out soon enough. Let's deal with this guy first."
Lin Fan and Lis looked on with surprise and uncertainty, but You Che didn't explain much. He just walked to the BOSS door, looked around, and said, "Your progress isn't slow either. You've already reached the BOSS room. It's just that someone might have been holding you back, which is why you haven't solved it yet."
He stretched his body and said, "I'm in good form today, really hot, I'll take care of this guy."
Lin Fan and Liz exchanged a glance, and then Lin Fan asked, "You mean, you're here to subdue the BOSS?"
'
"I don't doubt that you can do it, but in that case, someone will need to deal with those crossbowmen. You—"
"Shouldn't you release Sean first?"
But You Che just smiled and shook his head: "You've misunderstood again. I meant, I can do it myself, you guys just wait here."
The two of them: "!?"
Even Liz couldn't help but exclaim, "How can this be—!"
"Remember, don't come in and disturb me." You Che said this as his last words, and then he actually entered the BOSS battlefield alone.
"roar-!!"
The greatshield knight roared, slamming his greatshield heavily onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. Soldiers on both sides of the city walls raised their crossbows or pushed their defensive crossbows, aiming at You Che.
Yu Che simply smiled and said, "Tower Knight, a tribute to a classic level."
For players, this level is actually one of the easiest levels out of the six areas.
Because—there's no friend damage shield in Dark Fantasy!
This applies equally to both enemies and allies!
Therefore, the answer is self-evident.
Without hesitation, You Che raised his hand, and a blood-red chain shot out, embedding itself in the great shield knight's knee. The chain instantly unleashed a pulling force.
Without a doubt, Yu Che's strength was far inferior to that of the Greatshield Knight, so instead of being pulled over, he was suddenly dragged to the opposite side!
His figure blurred into a streak as he approached the greatshield knight, and bolts flew in, striking the spot where he had been standing, the rain of arrows still trembling.
At that moment, a beam of blessing light fell upon You Che's head, giving him an additional boost in speed.
Lin Fan and Liz turned around and saw that the Prayer Master had caught up at some point; it was she who had just cast the speed-up blessing on You Che.
"You've arrived?"
"Is what he said true? Have all the other areas already reopened?"
Naturally, the two of them immediately sought confirmation from her regarding You Che's words, since Qing Ling was not talkative and was clearly one of You Che's people.
Luna glanced at Sean, the crossbowman who was still bound beside her, and then nodded, saying, "—That's right, we've already cleared the other five areas."
The outrageous news was confirmed, and Lin Fan and Liz were both extremely incredulous. After all, they had only been in the second area for half a day and were still stuck at the BOSS's door, while You Che had already cleared the entire surrounding area?
This is why people in this world don't have the concept of cheat codes; otherwise, they would definitely say: "You know whether you've used one or not."
"How did you manage to do that?" Liz couldn't help but ask.
Luna smiled wryly: "Actually, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a laborer who provides supplementary damage. To be honest, when I think about it now, I find it unbelievable that there are actually people in this world who can conquer dungeons like this. They actually dare to conquer dungeons like this."
Liz and Lin Fan exchanged another glance, unsure how to respond.
Sean: "Gurgle—!!"
"Thump—!!"
Regardless of what the three of them were thinking at that moment, a series of noises coming from the BOSS battlefield quickly attracted their attention.
Everyone looked into the arena and saw You Che constantly moving around the BOSS, the Great Shield Knight.
It's still about positioning, but Youche's approach is different again.
The ordinary crossbow bolts fired by the crossbowmen on the left and right sides are relatively easy to dodge, but the key is that some of them will perform the same process of operating the city defense crossbow, loading bolts, and firing the city defense crossbow in a fixed manner.
The city defense crossbows fire a series of explosive bolts that are fast-firing, highly damaging, and have a wide spread. Even a skilled player can be caught in the crossbow fire if they are not careful.
Conversely, this is precisely the perfect choice for dealing with the BOSS Greatshield Knight.
Yu Che was completely focused on the movements of the crossbowmen operating the city defense crossbows on both sides. The moment they fired, he had already calculated the angle and dodged to the side of the great shield knight!
"BOOM—!!"
A violent explosion echoed, and the Greatshield Knight's body trembled violently, his health points dropping instantly.
【Dawn Knights - Shield Guard Captain】
[Level: 24]
[HP: 564/600]
The three crossbows on each of the left and right city walls will fire in a fixed order, as long as no other enemies climb up the city walls to attract the crossbowmen's attention.
This is also why You Che said he didn't need anyone else's help; their meddling would only interfere with his positioning and predictions.
Even when he's alone, if his positioning makes it difficult to completely avoid damage, he can use Blood Chains to move or use Invisibility Powder to forcibly delay the crossbowmen's firing time. In short, his margin for error is very high.
The Greatshield Knight roared, raising his greatshield and heavy spear, trying to grab Yuche, who was darting around at his feet.
Unfortunately, his enormous size and heavy armor made his movements extremely clumsy.
For Yuche, dodging his attacks was the easiest task.
Just like the Tower Knights, the subject of their tribute, the Greatshield Knight basically only knows how to stomp the ground, smash with his shield, swing his spear, and backflip, at most using some attack skills with very obvious wind-up and wind-up animations.
The biggest challenge of this boss is its extremely high defense; ordinary players in the LV20-30 range should basically forget about breaking through its defense.
Yu Che was no exception. Even if he poured a bottle of Dragon Blood Potion down his throat and then stabbed the Greatshield Knight in the heel, he could only inflict a forced damage of "-1".
However, as long as you make good use of the surrounding environment and weapons, defeating this BOSS is not difficult. The biggest challenge is to avoid being hit by the city defense crossbow while drawing aggro—this requires a high level of awareness and positioning.
Of course, most players wouldn't challenge it alone. It's more common for them to have their teammates clear out the crossbowmen and then use the city defense crossbow themselves. This is safer, but it's actually slower than if you try to conquer it alone.
Most importantly, Youche wanted to show his three teammates what a top player's way of clearing levels looked like.
—To avoid any troublemakers who might oppose him later.
And so, under the stunned silence of Lis and the other two, Yuche, with the help of his good teammates, quickly whittled down the Greatshield Knight's health to its last sliver.
Without wasting any more time, You Che immediately shouted, "Fire Pillar!"
"boom"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, before his companions could react, Luna raised her staff, and a pillar of fire shot into the sky from beneath the greatshield knight's feet!
"Awooo!!!"
And so, the Greatshield Knight's last bit of health was depleted, and his massive body could no longer hold on, crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of gravel and dust.
With the BOSS, who was the core of this area, falling down, the crossbowmen around him also lost their life force and all fell to the ground dead.
You Che didn't rush to collect the BOSS's loot. He turned around and looked at his teammates who were standing there dumbfounded at the door, and laughed, "What are you standing there for? Come on, let's see what the BOSS dropped."
