MTLNOVEL Chapter 170: God-Grade Halo! _1
If its defenses couldn't be breached, the corpse poison wouldn't take effect.
Spreading out 340,000 Skeleton Monsters looked imposing, but if they couldn't deal damage, it was as good as having none.
The Almighty Converter absolutely had to be activated.
The difference between activating it and not was like night and day.
As Chen Mo activated the Almighty Converter, he first launched an Energy Bullet. It was immediately followed by three waves of arrows, totaling over a million projectiles, erupting from around him.
After all, the Skeleton Monsters would only break stealth upon entering combat. They weren't considered in combat until their attacks landed on a target. In the two seconds before breaking stealth, they could launch three attacks.
Thus, 340,000 Skeleton Monsters launched a combined total of 1,020,000 attacks in two seconds.
WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH...
A dense barrage of arrows neatly followed the Energy Bullet, streaking fiercely towards the Guardian of the Grave of Gods.
The damage output was instantly maxed out!
Even with the BOSS's two thousand trillion Health, it was futile.
This wasn't even counting the direct attack damage from the Skeleton Monsters' numerous strikes.
The cumulative detonation damage from the stacked corpse poison alone far exceeded the BOSS's Health.
The BOSS's total Health was merely two thousand trillion.
The total detonation damage from 1,020,000 stacks of corpse poison reached over thirty-five hundred trillion. A mere two thousand trillion Health was nowhere near enough to absorb such a blow.
In just two or three seconds, the BOSS's enormous body slammed to the ground with a loud THUD, its life extinguished.
The little elf watching from the side was utterly dumbstruck.
Shock almost made her eyes pop out of her head.
At this moment, as the 340,000 Skeleton Monsters were revealed, they were all densely packed together. Their sudden appearance was like a geyser of skeletons erupting from thin air. With a great RATTLE AND CLATTER of bones, the mass of Skeleton Monsters surged forth, toppling over each other and stacking up to form an actual mountain of skeletons.
Chen Mo was standing right beside them. Before he could react, he was struck by the surging mass of skeletons. In the next instant, the entire pile pressed down on him.
He instantly knew how Sun Wukong must have felt.
Fortunately, Chen Mo could cancel the summoning with a mere thought.
Otherwise, he would have been buried under the mountain of skeletons for a long time before he could crawl out.
Once Chen Mo canceled the summoning of the Skeleton Monsters, he finally felt the pressure lift, and the world around him seemed to fall silent.
The Heavenly Path's Hint promptly sounded.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have successfully killed the Guardian of the Grave of Gods in the Divine Domain on the 45th floor of the Mysterious Dungeon. You will receive a random God-Grade Halo!]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Congratulations! You have obtained the golden Passive Skill, God-Grade Critical Strike Aura! If you are unsatisfied with this aura, you have one opportunity to reroll it.]
[God-Grade Critical Strike Aura - Golden Passive]: You and all friendly units within a range of 'Level*100' meters will inflict guaranteed Critical Damage with any damage dealt (ignores enemy critical resistance).
Guaranteed critical hits! That's powerful! Thanks to the Balanced Magic Wand, my summons can fully benefit from my Critical Damage. This means every attack from me and my summons will now trigger Critical Damage multiplied dozens of times!
Seeing this aura's effect, Chen Mo was very excited.
Although he currently preferred his equipped God-Grade Calm Aura, which was only effective within dungeons, this God-Grade Critical Strike Aura was also incredibly potent.
Since rerolling might result in something worse, he didn't dare to risk it for now; this one was already excellent.
He decided to keep it.
After all, what if he rerolled it into something like a God-Grade Healing Aura? That would be specialized for health recovery, which he didn't need at all. Wouldn't he just be kicking himself then?
Having secured the God-Grade Critical Strike Aura, Chen Mo immediately prepared to use some of his bravery points to remove the God-Grade Endurance BUFF.
Keeping that wretched BUFF was too dangerous.
But the notification took him by surprise.
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: All Global BUFFs have been automatically removed. No further action is required.]
Only then did Chen Mo realize that the usual prompt about spending bravery points to remove Global BUFFs was missing from the reward messages.
Automatically removed? What a stroke of luck!
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: Congratulations on obtaining the God-Grade Critical Strike Aura! This reward is effective immediately. Upon completing the current dungeon, you will also receive one SSS-level Gift Pack and one Almighty Divine Fruit!]
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have successfully defeated the Guardian of the 45th floor of the Mysterious Dungeon. You have gained nine bravery points, bringing your current total to thirty-three. Upon completing the dungeon, you will receive an SSS-level title!]
As The Heavenly Path's Hints concluded, Chen Mo found himself possessing the God-Grade Critical Strike Aura.
All his summons could benefit from this effect in real-time.
After receiving his rewards, Chen Mo waited for a while, but the black mists that routinely appeared at this point failed to materialize this time.
What's going on? Where are the black mists? The Merchant? The Blacksmith? The Skill Master? How am I supposed to spend my bravery points?
While Chen Mo was still grumbling, the little elf from before flew towards him again.
"Powerful human, I never expected you could defeat even the Guardian of the Grave of Gods! To honor your bravery, I have a special item I can sell to you, but it will require bravery points for the exchange."
"What is it?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"This."
As the little elf presented a pale blue, teardrop-shaped gemstone that radiated a comforting aura, Chen Mo immediately perceived its attributes.
[Tears of the Goddess]: An extremely rare god-grade material. Possessing it alone offers significant benefits; the pure Energy it contains continuously grants the holder Energy recovery, restoring 100% of their maximum energy value per second. (Effective while in the backpack)
A divine material? And it has a passive effect too? This is incredible stuff!
Any divine material is undoubtedly valuable and will surely be useful later on.
Chen Mo was immediately tempted and asked, "What's the price?"
"This item would normally sell for 50 bravery points. However, given your outstanding performance in swiftly defeating the Guardian of the Grave of Gods, I can offer you a 90% discount."
"Five points?"
"Mm-hm."
"Bought!" Chen Mo declared the transaction immediately.
Awesome! He'd just been wondering where to spend his bravery points. To think he could get such a useful divine material for only five bravery points—there was no way he wouldn't buy it!
[The Heavenly Path's Hint: You have spent five bravery points to purchase one Tears of the Goddess from the Divine Elf. You have twenty-seven bravery points remaining!]
"Human, I have some advice for you: it's best you stop here. The areas below are not for you."
"Why is that?"
"That is the God Forbidden Zone, a place where even Gods are prohibited from entering. I urge you not to proceed further."
The God Forbidden Zone? What in the world is this dungeon? First, the Grave of Gods, and now a God Forbidden Zone... Why are all these terrifying places down here?
