HPDBC Chapter 80 The Soul-Devouring Body!
Chapter 80 The Soul-Devouring Body!
"Huh? Not again? How long has it been?"
"Haha, it seems we're destined to never have a moment of peace."
"Did the Emperor of the Universe just leave the newbie village? How did he find a Star-level BOSS so quickly?"
"The Emperor of the Universe is awesome! He can even solo a Star-level BOSS."
"It seems we underestimated Emperor Yu. We didn't expect him to trigger the world announcement so quickly."
"You'll get used to it. The Emperor Yu is playing a hacked version, which is a bit different from ours."
"An epic skill book! I'm so envious!"
"Epic-level skills can probably be used for a lifetime."
"Of course, above Epic, there are only Legendary and God-level ranks. Most players probably won't be able to master skills of this rank in their entire lives."
"The power of the Emperor Yu is getting stronger and stronger."
"..."
Countless players in the Holy Dragon Empire were abuzz with discussion, deeply impressed by Su Yu's strength.
……
The Tower of Trials for Beginners, in a special space.
The chubby boy in the black robe stared wide-eyed at the battle scene on the light screen, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I never expected this little guy to be hiding so well." The chubby boy in the black robe was somewhat incredulous.
A novice player can unleash tens of millions of damage per second and even survive Cerberus's attacks unscathed.
This is simply a miracle.
He had seen countless geniuses over the past tens of thousands of years, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone possess such terrifying strength at the novice stage.
Originally, he just thought that Su Yu had a chance to get that special, god-level, unique hidden scroll.
But now he dares to say that Su Yu will definitely be able to obtain that special, god-level, unique hidden scroll.
He was very clear about the strength of the final boss guarding the Tower of Trials for Beginners.
In his opinion, Su Yu's strength was definitely greater than his.
After all, Su Yu's damage per second is as high as tens of millions, and he can deal hundreds of millions of damage per minute. How could these BOSSes in the Novice Trial Tower possibly withstand him?
"It seems that this generation of humans has truly produced an extraordinary genius," the chubby boy in black robes remarked with deep emotion.
Humans are truly a race full of miracles.
……
Tower of Trials for Beginners, 73rd floor.
"Hmm? An epic-level skill?" A glint of light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
He never expected that killing the BOSS in the Novice Trial Tower could trigger the BOSS first kill reward.
This world announcement reward was a completely unexpected surprise.
Without hesitation, Su Yu opened his backpack and immediately used the epic-level skill book for his class.
[Congratulations on obtaining the Epic Skill: Soul Devourer!]
【lv1 Soul Eater Body (Epic): Passive skill, you can gain one Soul Eater Mark for each monster you kill, and each Soul Eater Mark can permanently increase your maximum mana by 30 points.
The Soul Devouring Mark can stack up to: skill level * 1000 layers.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems I'm going to go further and further down the path of monster hunting." Su Yu laughed.
The Soul-Devouring Body and the Life-Devouring Body are similar; both involve farming monsters to accumulate marks and then permanently increasing attributes.
One increases mana, and the other increases health.
However, because the Soul Devouring Body has a higher rank, or because mana is less valuable than life, each layer of Soul Devouring Mark can increase mana by 30 points.
It is three times more potent than the Life-Devouring Mark, so its effect can be described as extraordinary.
"Once I've stacked up the Soul Devouring Marks, I'll never have to worry about running out of mana again." A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
If each of his Soul-Severing Arrows could consume a thousand times the mana cost, his damage per second would reach an even more terrifying level.
And he believes that day shouldn't be too far away.
Soon, Su Yu was automatically teleported to the seventy-fourth floor.
A moment later, the monster on the seventy-fourth floor came into Su Yu's sight.
It's still a Cerberus.
【Level 30 Cerberus (Star-level BOSS)】
[HP: 5500 million/5500 million]
Physical Attack Power: 33 million
Physical Defense: 5.5; Magic Defense: 5.5
【Skill:???】
Compared to the Cerberus on the 73rd floor, this Cerberus has no change in rank or level, but all its attributes have increased by 10%.
"It's alright, not difficult at all. It's just a matter of firing another Soul-Severing Arrow." Su Yu shook his head with a smile.
It seems that his worst fears did not come true.
Su Yu had originally thought that the monsters on the 74th floor would be much stronger, but now it seems that they have only increased by 10%, so there is no pressure.
A desperate counterattack!
Soul-Severing Arrow!
Su Yu drew his longbow to a full moon, and five Soul-Severing Arrows, each consuming ten times the mana, instantly pierced the air.
boom! boom! boom!
-214.1 million! (Critical Hit)
-214.1 million! (Critical Hit)
……
About five seconds later, a familiar system notification sounded in Su Yu's ear.
[Successfully defeated level 30 Cerberus (Star-level BOSS). No experience points gained at this time, but 30 gold and 1 skill point have been awarded.]
[Successfully cleared the 74th floor of the Tower of New Player Trials, earning 740 completion points.]
About ten seconds later, Su Yu was automatically teleported to the seventy-fifth floor.
On this level, there is still a level 30 Star-level Cerberus.
However, its overall attributes are 10% higher than the Cerberus on the 74th floor, reaching a total of 60.5 million health points.
Su Yu quickly realized the pattern: most likely, each subsequent level would contain a Cerberus.
Moreover, each of them has 10% higher all attributes than the one in the previous level.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu launched a desperate counterattack with practiced ease, and then a Soul-Severing Arrow instantly ignited the battle.
In less than five seconds, Cerberus, the three-headed dog from the seventy-fifth floor, also met his end.
[Successfully defeated level 30 Cerberus (Star-level BOSS). No experience points gained at this time, but 30 gold and 1 skill point have been awarded.]
[Successfully cleared the 75th floor of the Tower of New Player Trials, earning 750 completion points.]
……
Soon, Su Yu arrived at the eighty-seventh floor.
This level still features a Cerberus, whose health has reached 18987 million.
Its total attributes are more than three times those of the Cerberus on the 73rd floor.
One of its skills could deal nearly two million damage to Su Yu.
Fortunately, Su Yu's shield was thick enough, and for safety's sake, he also activated the Moon Mark.
Even if his shield breaks, the Moon Mark can still protect him from damage.
In less than twenty seconds, Su Yu also emptied the health bar of the Cerberus on the 87th floor.
[Successfully defeated level 30 Cerberus (Star-level BOSS). No experience points gained at this time, but 30 gold and 1 skill point have been awarded.]
[Successfully cleared the 87th floor of the Tower of New Player Trials, earning 870 completion points.]
[The next level is the final level of the Tower of Trials for Beginners. You will be teleported there in 30 seconds. Please be prepared.]
