Late at night, in a secret meeting room in Dragon City.
A middle-aged man in a suit, with a beer belly, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a phone.
On the other end of the line, a voice speaking somewhat unsteady Mandarin asked, “Boss Xu, how’s the progress?”
The suited man gazed out the window, burdened with thoughts, and said, “To be honest, Mr. Amano, it’s not going well.”
“This time, we encountered a particularly troublesome opponent. Everyone I sent was counter-killed by him!”
The other party paused for a moment and said, “This person must be eliminated! Otherwise, if we encounter your Dragon Kingdom in the competition, this person will pose a huge threat to our Japan!”
The man referred to as “Boss Xu” said, “I understand, but Mr. Amano, the losses on my side this time might be a bit significant…”
Mr. Amano, speaking in not-so-fluent Dragon Kingdom language, said, “I’ve already transferred the money to you, please check.”
“Additionally, I hope you can help me deal with this person as soon as possible.”
Boss Xu immediately checked the payment information, and upon confirming that his encrypted account had received a foreign transfer of 10 billion, he beamed with joy, “Alright, no problem, Mr. Amano, leave it to me!”
Just after hanging up the phone, the secretary walked in.
“Boss, our dark forces distributed in Beihai rioted today. The cause was their failure to assassinate three contestants from the prestigious Longteng Guild in Beihai, as per our instructions, and they were counter-killed by the Longteng Guild.”
“The Longteng Guild has started to investigate this matter and has begun a thorough search for the mastermind across the province. They feel the pressure is too great, so they want to withdraw from the organization.”
Boss Xu was indifferent, “Pressure? It’s just that they feel the money isn’t enough. Their little schemes are all under my control!”
“No one would refuse money,” Boss Xu said, “Transfer three million to all our dark forces and tell them that after this operation, each person will receive an additional five million as a reward!”
“If anyone insists on leaving the organization,” Boss Xu gave the secretary a sharp look, “You know what to do, right?”
The secretary nodded, “Understood.”
After a pause, the secretary continued, “However, that new professional Zero from Tianjing is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.”
“The power of the dark forces is insufficient to deal with such a strong opponent. Most importantly, we cannot openly use the power of our Empire Guild against him, otherwise, with the power of the Empire Guild, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.”
Boss Xu displayed a deeply scheming smile, “Rules are dead, but people are alive.”
“We just need to learn to be flexible. Killing someone can be very simple!”
“Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with him!”
A hint of murderous intent appeared in Boss Xu’s eyes, “Zero, since Mr. Amano wants you dead, don’t blame me!”
On the other side.
After dinner, Zhang Yue went online.
Activated the Eighth World BOSS Challenge.
“Ding~ Welcome to the Eighth World: Ghost Domain BOSS Challenge Field, please kill the World BOSS!”
As the system notification fell.
Whoosh!
White light descended, and Zhang Yue appeared in a graveyard.
In his line of sight, a creature draped in a red magic robe, holding a scythe, looking like a Grim Reaper, was slowly approaching Zhang Yue!
[Ghost God Rido] (lv55 Magic Type · 8-star BOSS)!
On the same power level as Ghost King Mond in the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon.
Back in the dungeon, Zhang Yue couldn’t handle Ghost King Mond because it had a debuff skill that was doubled in effect within the dungeon, severely weakening Zhang Yue!
Now, in this World BOSS field without the debuff effect, with Zhang Yue’s strength, dealing with an 8-star BOSS is naturally no problem.
Ghost God Rido, seeing Zhang Yue alone, did not take him seriously.
“Just a mere human, and you dare to challenge the majesty of this god?”
“This god will show you what death truly means!”
With that, Ghost God Rido raised the scythe of death, beginning to gather the power of death.
Zhang Yue, aiming for a quick resolution, summoned the Skeleton King, Predator, and Apocalyptic Black Dragon.
The Skeleton King, wielding the 8-star Void Ghost God Blade, charged at Ghost God Rido.
Taking advantage of Ghost God Rido still casting, the Skeleton King swung left and right, landing two consecutive strikes on Ghost God Rido.
The Skeleton King was trained as a tank, not expected to deal damage.
But with the Ghost God Blade, his output capability significantly increased!
The Ghost God Blade’s Ghost God Eye skill allows the wielder to deal additional damage to enemies based on 10% of their maximum health.
Combined with the Skeleton King’s 100,000+ health, a single strike could deal over 30,000 damage!
Ghost God Rido completed the charge and pierced the Skeleton King’s body with the scythe of death.
-!
The damage was not low, but to the Skeleton King, it was negligible.
Meanwhile, an equivalent amount of damage appeared above Ghost God Rido’s head.
This triggered the tactical counterattack effect of the 8-star [King’s Ghost Domain Armor] on the Skeleton King: reflecting 100% of the damage received back to the attacker!
While the BOSS’s aggro was drawn to the Skeleton King.
Zhang Yue, along with the Shadow Predator and Apocalyptic Black Dragon, locked onto the BOSS and unleashed a fierce assault!
Boom boom boom boom!
A barrage of S-rank skills bombarded Ghost God Rido, exploding into massive damage above its head—
-!
-!
-!
-Critical Hit (Shadow Predator)!
-(Apocalyptic Black Dragon)!
The Skeleton King was initially proud.
But seeing his second brother, big brother, and master dealing far more damage than him, he obediently continued to act as a meat shield, absorbing damage!
The Apocalyptic Black Dragon, utilizing the 7-star Demon Set effect, summoned a level 55 demon.
Full firepower!
Ghost God Rido was forced to retreat step by step, unable to withstand Zhang Yue’s relentless bombardment with its 2.5 million health.
In an instant, it was slain!
“Ding~ Congratulations on killing the World BOSS Ghost God Rido, clearing the Eighth World: Ghost Domain!”
Whoosh!
The door to the Ninth World opened before Zhang Yue.
After collecting the loot dropped by the BOSS, Zhang Yue stepped into the Ninth World teleportation gate.
With a flash of white light, Zhang Yue appeared in a magnificent mechanical castle.
“Ding~ Welcome to the Otherworld Ninth World: Monster Kingdom, World Task has been issued!”
There are six days left until the World Finals for new professionals.
Collecting an Eternal Set in the Ninth World within six days should be no problem for Zhang Yue.
