After one successful strike, Liu Ming did not hesitate to launch maniacal attacks on his target.

…

Under Liu Ming’s series of attacks, the Doomsday Friar—who was a Mage and originally had 1,700 HP remaining—instantly slipped into a dangerous situation.

At this moment, the other Doomsday Devotees’ attacks had already landed on Liu Ming.

…

Due to the Mana Backfire debuff, the Doomsday Devotees only inflicted a pathetic amount of damage. Only the damage done by the other two Doomsday Friars was considerable.

In fact, two out of the ten Doomsday Devotees were directly interrupted by the Mana Backfire debuff before they could even release their Skills.

The Doomsday Devotees were not silly either. After discovering that their attacks did not pose much of a threat to Liu Ming, they gave up on attacking Liu Ming.

Apart from the Doomsday Friar that was being beaten up by Liu Ming, the two remaining Doomsday Friars immediately pulled out a black dagger each.

“Highlord Of Doom, please look here and make a miracle descend!” The two Doomsday Friars yelled in unison. After this, they stabbed the black daggers into their chests.

As two extreme damage indicators were exposed, the two Doomsday Friars died.

At the same time, Liu Ming also happened to kill the other Doomsday Friar with a slash of his sword. When he saw the two Doomsday Friars’ actions, he immediately became vigilant.

The ten Doomsday Devotees became rather flustered after the three Doomsday Friars died. However, their panic did not last for long this time.

Wisps of red fog soon appeared on the bodies of the two Doomsday Friars who committed suicide. Not long after, the red fog engulfed all the Doomsday Devotees.

Next, a wave of disgusting squirming sounds and screams came from the red fog.

Liu Ming frowned slightly and raised his longsword in a bid to slash the red fog. However, he was stopped by a system prompt.

[Warning: Basic-type Attacks cannot be used to attack this unit!]

Upon seeing the system prompt, Liu Ming understood that that thing was probably part of the quest plot.

Basic attacks encompassed the magical and physical damage of all professions, as well as some unusual damage. The so-called non-basic attacks were the legendary Laws, Divine Power, and True Damage.

True Damage was not too bad. According to the official information about God Domain, players’ equipment would include True Damage after advancing beyond Level 30.

The officials of God Domain had only provided brief introductions on Divine Power and Laws. The rest was up to the players’ conjectures. However, even True Damage was not something that the players could get in touch with at the current stage.

In other words, this unit was clearly invincible before it transformed completely.

Not long after, the Doomsday Devotees’ shrilling disappeared completely, leaving behind the disgusting sounds of wriggling, which resounded throughout the underground palace.

After a few more moments, a terrifying howl emerged from the red fog. The red fog dissipated immediately afterward, and a large, swollen figure appeared in front of Liu Ming.

Unsteady Fusion Corpse Demon (Leader Level)

Health Points: 18,000/18,000

Introduction: A terrifying monster created by mysterious forces. It possesses incomparable destructive power. However, there seems to be something wrong with the ritual as the monster has a fatal flaw.

…

The Fusion Corpse Demon was about four to five meters tall; it also looked just like a giant created from a large pile of flesh. It also had a layer of white bones wrapped around its fists, making it look like it was wearing a pair of gloves made of bone, which made it even more terrifying.

“Damn it, 18,000 HP!” After looking at the Fusion Corpse Demon’s terrifyingly high HP and his EXP bar that was about 7% short of advancing to Level 8, Liu Ming felt like beating the game planners up. However, just as Liu Ming calmed down and planned to give it a go, the situation changed again.

The Fusion Corpse Demon suddenly roared and ignored Liu Ming as it rushed towards the red stone that did not fall too far away.

Looking at the Fusion Corpse Demon that dashed towards the red stone, a thought popped up in Liu Ming’s mind. Sacrifice! Flaw! So that’s what happened. I have a solution!

Thus, Liu Ming rushed towards the Fusion Corpse Demon without hesitation and forcefully slashed its thigh with his sword, causing it to stumble and almost fall.

At the same time, it also caused some damage to the Fusion Corpse Demon.

Before the Fusion Corpse Demon could turn around and counterattack, Liu Ming walked past the side of the Fusion Corpse Demon and grabbed the red stone to place it inside his backpack before the Fusion Corpse Demon could.

[Congratulations, Adventurer, you have obtained the Sanguine Crystal (Purple)]

[Hint: Sanguine Crystal (Purple) is a special object that will drop right after one dies. (The effects will be removed after the death of the Leader-level Monster, Unsteady Fusion Corpse Demon.)]

After seeing the system prompt, Liu Ming knew that he had made the right bet. Hence, he dashed towards the exit of the underground palace without hesitation.

At this moment, the Fusion Corpse Demon happened to see Liu Ming running towards the underground palace’s exit with the Sanguine Crystal and immediately flew into a rage before roaring and chasing after Liu Ming.

Although the Fusion Corpse Demon could sprint quickly in a straight line, its turning speed was a little less than satisfactory.

After being teased by Liu Ming several times, the distance between the Fusion Corpse Demon and Liu Ming increased up to nearly 50 meters.

In fact, if Liu Ming did not deliberately maintain the distance between them after he was 50 meters away, he would’ve been even further from the Fusion Corpse Demon.

Soon, Liu Ming led the Fusion Corpse Demon to the trapped passage.

Although Liu Ming had triggered quite a few traps when he entered the underground palace, most of the traps were still intact. After all, Liu Ming was not reckless, and he couldn’t have possibly triggered all the traps.

However, the actual reckless figure, the Fusion Corpse Demon, had arrived and stepped on all the remaining traps.

The Fusion Corpse Demon looked rather cool as sparks went off in every area it stepped on along the way.

Similarly, continuous damage was dealt to the Fusion Corpse Demon.

…

Although the traps didn’t deal very high damage to the Fusion Corpse Demon, there was a large quantity of them.

When the Fusion Corpse Demon chased Liu Ming through the passage of traps, its HP decreased from 18,000 to 5,000-something.

However, Liu Ming still didn’t turn around to fight with the Fusion Corpse Demon. Instead, he used his longsword to slaughter the Phantom Spiders in the Phantom Spider cave.

…

Liu Ming, whose Attacking Power was more than 200 points, could kill the Phantom Spiders with greater ease. A few minutes later, tens of Phantom Spiders died in Liu Ming’s hands.

When the last Phantom Spider collapsed, a glistening beam of gold light flashed past Liu Ming’s body.

Next, another ray of light flashed around Liu Ming, and his original leather armor was instantly replaced by extremely domineering Knight armor.

Liu Ming had finally advanced to Level 8.

After looking at his stats—which had increased again—Liu Ming turned to look at the Fusion Corpse Demon that was getting closer and closer to him.

A huge battle was about to happen soon.
