...

The Abyssal Devourer looked like an enormous earthworm.

And yet, it had countless pairs of thin, spindly legs.

At a glance, it seemed as though more than half of the abyss had been occupied by those legs alone.

Anyone with trypophobia would probably have an attack just from looking at it.

"This is the final boss."

Looking at the Abyssal Devourer as it slowly pushed apart the white mist, John said calmly, "Use every skill you can. At least this way, you’ll feel like you participated."

When the four people beside him heard this, they nodded repeatedly and began preparing their moves.

As a Paladin, Alan’s strongest method of attack was undoubtedly a heavy strike.

Specks of golden light began to glow around the greatsword in his hands.

In the next instant, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.

"Holy Judgment!"

Alan gave a furious shout, and the greatsword in his hands came crashing down.

The Abyssal Devourer was struck.

An awkward damage number appeared above its head.

[-1,353!]

Alan’s figure transformed into a streak of light and returned to his original position.

This was the strongest skill of his Paladin class.

After delivering a fatal blow to the enemy, it allowed him to rewind his body back to where he had started.

Unfortunately, the damage of this skill was simply too low.

At that moment, Lillian and the others beside him also released their skills one after another.

But the damage they dealt was even lower than Alan’s.

[-233!]

[-1,200!]

[-566!]

For a moment, all four of them felt somewhat embarrassed.

They had originally thought that, with their levels, they could at least shave off tens of thousands of points of damage.

In the end, they had not even scratched off a layer of skin.

"Sorry, guild leader, we..."

John waved his hand.

"It’s fine. I only wanted you to go through the motions."

Alan and the others were instantly rendered speechless.

In the next moment, they saw two staffs appear in John’s hands.

They were none other than the Dragonflame Staff and the Death Staff he had obtained earlier.

At the same time, beside the Abyssal Devourer, the Frost Phoenix appeared, along with the phantom of a White Tiger radiating a holy aura.

At this moment, John had brought out all of his trump cards.

The Frost Phoenix, the White Tiger Spirit, and the Crimsonflame Dragon they were currently riding!

"Watch closely. I’ll teach you how to one-shot something."

As soon as John finished speaking, the Abyssal Devourer made its move.

It opened its mouth and bit toward the White Tiger Spirit nearby.

The aura emanating from the White Tiger Spirit made it want nothing more than to devour it and obtain even stronger attributes.

Who would have thought that the latter possessed a brief physical immunity effect?

The Abyssal Devourer instantly lost its attack target.

The Frost Phoenix immediately spat out a stream of cold air that was tens of thousands of degrees below zero.

Even with the Abyssal Devourer’s massive body, it still froze stiff for a brief moment.

At the same time, ice damage appeared above its head.

[-46,771!]

Seeing that a single casual attack from a strange beast dealt far more damage than they could, Alan and the other three felt even more ashamed.

But what happened next made them feel even more embarrassed.

After being attacked, the White Tiger Spirit did not dodge at all. Instead, it immediately turned around and bit back.

As a true spirit, its attacks could bypass physical defenses.

[-100,000!]

Alan and the others’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What was going on?

The most they could deal was just over 1,000 damage.

But this White Tiger could casually take a bite and deal 100,000?

At that moment, John had already finished charging his skill.

The Crimsonflame Dragon beneath his feet had long since become perfectly in sync with him.

In an instant, three different energy beams erupted at the same time.

The Crimsonflame Dragon’s dragon breath.

John’s dragonflame.

And his Death Ray.

The three beams of energy intertwined in midair.

Between them, an extremely terrifying elemental reaction actually erupted.

The three colors merged together.

They transformed into the phantom of an azure dragon shrouded in dense death energy.

Then, it slammed viciously into the Abyssal Devourer’s enormous body!

When Alan and the other three saw this scene, they held their breath.

They wanted to see exactly how Big Boss John would one-shot a platinum-grade boss with 3,000,000 HP.

Roar!

After suffering such a heavy blow, the Abyssal Devourer immediately let out a painful roar.

Its body repeatedly slammed into the cliffs on both sides.

The entire abyss trembled under its impact.

But its HP did not seem to change much.

Alan and the others could not help looking toward John.

Could it be that even a big shot’s prediction could fail?

Could this Abyssal Devourer be immune to this kind of combined attack formed by three energy beams?

However, in the next moment, a scene that nearly caused them to collapse onto the dragon’s back happened.

They saw the Abyssal Devourer’s countless pairs of thin legs suddenly begin to shed and shatter like brittle shells.

At the same time, its HP began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[-390,000!]

[-390,000!]

[-390,000!]

In less than ten seconds, the Abyssal Devourer, whose body had been massive enough to tear the entire abyss apart, had its HP directly emptied.

It raised its head to the sky and let out an unwilling roar.

But the death energy spreading across its body had already become so thick that it pushed away the surrounding mist.

Its body gradually turned pale and crumbled into fragments.

Until finally, it fell completely into the depths of the abyss.

A one-shot kill!

A notification rang beside John’s ears.

[You have killed the platinum-grade Boss Abyssal Devourer Lv. 60!]

[EXP +15,000,000, gold coins +1,500,000, Fame +1,500,000]

[You have plundered the SS-grade talent All-Devouring!]

[You have plundered the S-grade equipment Abyss Armor!]

[You have plundered the S-grade Pet Egg: Abyssal Devourer!]

...

Several notifications rang out in succession.

John’s expression finally changed slightly.

"I didn’t expect it to have an SS-grade talent."

He immediately opened his panel to check it.

[All-Devouring] SS-grade

[Effect]: Can devour all items and convert them into EXP. For every 1,000,000 EXP devoured, gain 1 free attribute point!

...

"It can even be used like this?"

A hint of surprise appeared in John’s eyes.

This All-Devouring did have some similarities with Synthesize All Things.

Both could process unnecessary items.

However, Synthesize All Things combined low-grade items into higher-grade ones.

All-Devouring, on the other hand, directly converted them into EXP and free attribute points.

After thinking for a moment, John directly modified the description of All-Devouring.

...

[All-Devouring] SS-grade

[Effect]: Can devour all items and convert them into EXP. For every 100,000 EXP devoured, gain 1,000 free attribute points!

[Modified to the current level limit.]

...

After the modification, the threshold for obtaining free attribute points had been greatly reduced.

From now on, even if John did not level up, he could still increase his attributes by devouring items!

After they killed the Abyssal Devourer, the entire abyss began to slowly close, and the white mist dispersed.

[Congratulations. You have led your team to complete the Zone-wide Dungeon. Your contribution value in this dungeon is 99.9%, triggering a hundredfold reward!]

[Congratulations. You have obtained 100,000,000 EXP, 10,000,000 gold coins, and 10,000,000 Fame!]

John raised his brows slightly.

He had not expected that reaching the highest contribution value would actually trigger a hundredfold reward.

At the same time, the other four people in the team also heard notification sounds beside their ears.

[Congratulations. You have become the first team to clear a Zone-wide Dungeon.]

[A server-wide announcement will now be issued, and first-clear rewards will be distributed!]

Everyone’s faces lit up with joy.

They had actually taken the first-clear reward?
