Chapter 85: Chapter85-Still at the Bottom of the Progress Ranking? Keep Killing!

Very quickly, John forcibly burned open a path leading straight to the giant tombstone at the very center.

The tombstone trembled violently.

Immediately afterward, it began to rise little by little.

That enormous tombstone actually rose directly from beneath the ground.

Then, countless ghost faces appeared on the tombstone.

The ghost faces gathered together, eventually forming an incomparably massive ghostly figure.

John’s gaze landed on it, and the relevant information appeared.

[Ghost King] (BOSS)

[HP]: 1,000,000 / 1,000,000

[Skills]: Ghost Entanglement, Death Shriek, Soul Reaping...

[Description]: A will aggregate formed from countless ghostly remnants. When fighting it, one will constantly suffer mind curses, making it extremely troublesome to deal with.

...

The moment the Ghost King appeared, it let out a terrifying howl filled with resentment.

"Die! I want all of you to die! I will bury every last one of you here!"

One cursed shriek after another continuously surged into John’s ears.

But his expression did not change at all.

The Curse Immunity trait directly allowed John to ignore all of the Ghost King’s attacks.

He directly raised both staffs.

A terrifying black flame dragon brewed into existence.

It instantly burned the Ghost King to nothing.

An instant kill was just that simple.

A pleasant notification rang beside John’s ears.

[You have killed the platinum-grade BOSS Ghost King Lv.55. EXP +10,000,000. Gold coins +1,000,000. Fame +1,000,000!]

[You have plundered S-grade equipment: Ghost Robe!]

[You have plundered A-grade equipment: Ghost Boots!]

[You have plundered S-grade talent: Ghostly Body!]

...

Unlike the Ghouls, almost the entire ghost race was tied to the Ghost King.

Now that the Ghost King was dead, all the remaining ghosts actually collapsed on their own and fled back into the tombstones.

The mighty ghost race was wiped clean just like that!

Correspondingly, the loot, EXP, and gold coins from the deaths of countless ordinary ghosts were all settled onto John’s party.

...

"Mm. Not bad."

John looked at the progress leaderboard.

At this moment, Zone 5’s progress had already been pushed to 60% by him.

However, Zone 1’s speed was indeed fast enough. They had actually already reached 99%.

Their BOSS’s HP had probably already been pushed below half.

Aside from that, Zone 2 and Zone 3 were also tied at 97% progress.

Only Zone 4, because they had been taught a lesson by John earlier, had fallen behind slightly in their development pace.

At this moment, they had barely reached 90%.

Zone 5 was still the slowest Zone in the entire server.

John rolled his neck, then first gave the Ghost Robe and Ghoul Breastplate to the mage Lillian and the warrior Alan respectively.

"You two can use these pieces of equipment for now."

John already had the superior Light-Dark Robe on him.

He had no use for this kind of equipment that only added basic attributes and ordinary effects.

Seeing John casually toss out an S-grade piece of equipment and an A-grade piece of equipment, Alan and Lillian were filled with surprise and joy.

They had never imagined that one day, they would somehow receive a reward from Boss John.

Ever since entering this dungeon, they had barely even done anything.

Yet they could still receive such generous rewards!

"As long as we follow Boss John, even if we’re just mascots, we can still level all the way to max level!"

The joy in Alan and the other three’s hearts could not be described in words.

They quickly followed John and continued toward the next BOSS location.

Mistborn!

...

At the same time.

The outer region of Mist Forest.

The human forces, who had originally been desperately resisting the various monsters in Mist Forest, suddenly discovered that the pressure on them had dropped sharply.

Large numbers of monsters suddenly withdrew.

There were even some ghosts that directly vanished on the spot.

When the supreme commander of the human coalition saw this scene, he was overjoyed.

He stood at the top of the war chariot and tightly gripped the railing.

"It must be the warriors! They must have made their move!"

At this moment, the morale of all human warriors soared.

When the counteroffensive had been frustrated, they had never thought of giving up.

And now, they had finally waited until the human warriors made their move.

Next came the moment to counterattack!

"All soldiers, hear my command! Fight until the final moment! Advance!"

Following the supreme commander’s order, even the human coalition, who were already at the end of their strength, still charged forward without hesitation.

In the dictionary of humanity, there was no such thing as retreat!

...

Compared to the previous two kinds of monsters, the Mistborn were more similar to humans.

They had intelligence and could even divide their labor.

Half of the entire Mist Forest had been cultivated by Mistborn craftsmen.

Moreover, their greatest trump card was their ability to absorb the mist within Mist Forest anytime and anywhere.

They could use it to replenish themselves.

While inside Mist Forest, it was equivalent to staying inside their own fountain.

They could even continuously level up by absorbing mist.

They were truly a BUG-like race.

However, today, this race welcomed their one and only natural enemy:

John!

The moment John appeared, the Mistborn sentries immediately raised the alarm.

In an instant, the surrounding mist churned continuously, condensing into the figures of Mistborn archers and Mistborn warriors.

Inside Mist Forest, they were also equivalent to possessing unlimited teleportation.

Almost in the blink of an eye, John’s group of five was surrounded by nearly sixty thousand Mistborn.

"There are too many of them."

Seeing this scene, Alan and the others felt their scalps go numb.

At a glance, almost everything in sight was Mistborn.

There was no end to them at all.

"Loose arrows!"

Following the Mistborn commander’s order, pale white mist arrows shot out explosively.

These mist arrows were the most sinister of all.

They could ignore all physical defense.

They could pierce straight through the target’s body and cause true damage.

John raised his head and gave them a glance.

Expressionless, he waved his hand.

The next moment, two incomparably massive pets were released.

Crimsonflame Dragon and Frost Phoenix!

Frost Phoenix was the first to spew out a vast amount of cold air.

The mist arrows immediately froze and solidified.

Now physical defense could take effect.

Crimsonflame Dragon then erupted with a massive amount of flame, melting all the frozen mist arrows into nothingness.

A mist arrow tide filled with overwhelming pressure was effortlessly resolved by John’s two pets.

"Those two pets belong to Boss John?"

"A dragon-type exotic beast and a phoenix-type exotic beast? Where in the world did Boss John tame them from?"

"I dream of having even one of them!"

Alan and the others were shocked once again.

They had thought that what John had displayed earlier was already all of his trump cards.

They never expected that John’s trump cards were simply endless.

The moment the two pets appeared, they instantly changed the situation on the battlefield.

"Kill them all."

John gave the order indifferently.

The two exotic beasts immediately charged into the Mistborn army and began a massacre!

They had already been upgraded by John and had reached Level 60.

In addition, dragons and phoenixes were naturally powerful in combat.

To them, the Mistborn army was nothing more than a swarm of ants they could crush at any moment.

Countless Mistborn warriors had not even touched the two exotic beasts before they were reduced to nothing in the clash of ice and fire.

Their most BUG-like trait of ignoring physical attacks was rendered completely useless under the cooperation of the dragon and phoenix.

In less than two minutes, the entire Mistborn army was slaughtered clean!
