Chapter 164:131 Summon Skeleton Three Strong
Dragon Palace Ruins!
Thanks to the trait “Accident Perception” unlocking via the skill “Wild Intuition”, Dean McKenzie had a vague feeling that, if he walked in a certain direction, he could find something important today.
Furthermore, it seemed to be related to Doggy Two.
Against this sudden intuition, Dean McKenzie still trusted it.
After all, Old Eight had received an enhancement that way in the past.
Therefore, Dean McKenzie unhesitatingly headed in the direction guided by his intuition.
Even though he followed his gut feeling, Dean McKenzie did not hastily force his entry.
Despite all of the monsters encountered thus far being level 80 in this instance, Dean McKenzie maintained absolute caution.
He even kept the skill “Bone Armor” active at all times.
Anyway, he was not short on mana in this Secret Realm, consuming 5,000 mana per minute was within his capacity.
Moreover, with the Bone Armor active, not only was Dean McKenzie very safe, but the proficiency of this skill was continually refreshed.
Why not reap the numerous benefits offered for free, Dean McKenzie had nothing to lose.
But that was not the extent of his caution.
Aside from having “Bone Armor” activated, Dean McKenzie also put Old Eight, who was in a “Strong Stealth” state, at the forefront to lead the way.
After Old Eight entered the Secret Realm, the quality of its template improved, and its skill gained enhancement.
The hiding effect of the “Strong Stealth” skill alone was even more powerful than before.
Dean McKenzie was not able to detect its presence at all when Old Eight moved around him.
With it leading the way, Dean McKenzie felt a lot safer.
But Old Eight was unaware that it was acting on behalf of Old Two, its recently improved strength had it particularly excited and motivated.
It was performing exceptionally well.
Any rustling or hidden monsters found along the way was detected by it.
Following Old Eight’s lead, Dean McKenzie swiftly arrived at the location indicated by “Wild Intuition”.
As he got closer, Dean McKenzie noticed things were different than elsewhere.
The ruins here were more thoroughly destroyed.
Not only were the buildings completely annihilated, but the ground was also pocked with over a dozen large pits.
The largest one went several dozens of meters deep into the ground.
According to the information provided by Wild Intuition, that object was at the bottom of the deepest pit.
Seeing the approaching location, Dean McKenzie promptly stopped Old Eight from moving any closer.
Although Old Eight had invulnerability for 2 seconds and had its skill cooldown complete, providing a total of 4. seconds of invulnerability with another skill cast, Dean McKenzie still considered it better to be cautious.
“Risk often comes with opportunity.
Based on the information from Wild Intuition and the surroundings, it’s possible we are about to face the final BOSS of this Secret Realm.
Considering that base level 80 minions are Excellent and small bosses are Rare Quality, this boss might be of Perfect Quality.”
If it was only a level 80 Perfect, Dean McKenzie wouldn’t worry, but it’s scary if it’s not level 80.
So, Dean McKenzie was especially careful.
After holding back Old Eight, he summoned some regular skeletons from the Gate of Bone, directing them towards the bottom of the deep pit.
And it turned out that Dean McKenzie’s caution was not redundant.
No sooner had that group of skeletons arrived than a dragon roar echoed out.
“Rawr!”
A roar like a dragon.
Instantly, even Dean McKenzie, who was standing hundreds of meters away, felt a wave of dizziness.
Old Eight, who was beside him, was even worse—it blindly started towards the deep pit in a daze.
That group of skeletons Dean McKenzie had dispatched to the pit was annihilated in the dragon’s roar.
Such a scene was terrifying enough on its own, but it didn’t end there!
After the roar of the dragon, an aggressive whistling broke out.
Immediately after, a water-blue dragon claw came swiping at Dean McKenzie.
“Damn!”
Dean McKenzie’s face changed drastically. His immediate reaction was to activate the “Ring of Wandering Dragon” to gain distance from the object by 150 meters. But it was no use, the dragon claw shadowed him like a specter.
Dean McKenzie could only grit his teeth and activate the defensive mode of the “Bone Armor”!
Suddenly, the “Bone Armor” around Dean McKenzie looked much denser.
The folding layers of Bone Armor seemed like a giant squatting down.
As the Bone Armor folded, defense levels soared.
A defense of nearly 14.0 thousand surged to 700 thousand, providing solid protection.
“Crack!”
The dragon’s claw landed on the Bone Armor, leaving a huge crack. The fracture ran from the outermost layer to the innermost layer, barely missing Dean McKenzie.
Cold sweat soaked through Dean McKenzie.
It must be known that when his Bone Armor entered the state of Fully Enclosed Defense, its defense peaked at level 70, and it also reduced attack power by 25%.
The force that could permeate 25% of its attack power could only mean that the dragon claw’s attack was nearly a million-grade.
Only a Fourth-turn creature could generate such damage, and it certainly wasn’t an ordinary Fourth-turn creature.
“Now, how am I supposed to deal with it?”
Fortunately, it had only launched a single attack without pursuing any further.
Otherwise, if it struck again, Dean McKenzie was a dead man beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie hastened his departure, making his way further from the deep pit while casting a lingering, daunted glance back, “Shouldn’t the bosses in the Secret Realm be of this level? This is an existence that a Third-turn cannot challenge!
Keep a distance from this place, definitely avoid coming near it again!”
As for enhancing Doggy Two?
He has to survive first before he can consider enhancing it!
After giving up on the hole, Dean McKenzie turned his attention back towards the continued exploration of the Dragon Palace Ruins..
