Chapter 195 This BOSS, I don't understand it either!
-132!
The number is small, but extremely insulting.
The king's guards maintained their stance as if they were splitting Mount Hua, and a hint of confusion seemed to flash in their scarlet eyes.
That's not how the script was written.
Just as the royal guards were wondering whether it was a backswing or a glitch, Chen You made a move.
Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique - Startling Swan!
A sword light of extreme speed flashed by in the dimly lit hall, like a shooting star appearing in the night.
"Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft—!"
-18977!
-18898!
-19115!
……
In just a second, a series of numbers floated up above the heads of the royal guards.
The enormous body, which resembled a rock, shuddered violently.
Then it collapsed with a roar, turning into countless pieces of rubble.
Another royal guard seemed to finally recover from the system crash, letting out a muffled roar as he raised his weapon to sweep it away.
But Chen You's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
He appeared beside the second guard and unleashed another "Surprising Strike" with a backhand.
The same sword light, the same devastating force.
-19152!
-18999!
-19099!
……
In just three seconds, the two gatekeepers who had caused the Moon Goddess's Radiance elite team to be wiped out in hatred were reduced to two piles of cold rubble.
The entire hall fell silent once more.
"Boom!"
As the guards fell, the massive, tightly closed door at the far end of the hall began to slowly open, revealing an even deeper darkness behind it.
"roar!"
The next second, a piercing scream came from behind the door.
A dozen or so "royal servants," slightly smaller in stature and about three meters tall, swarmed out of the darkness.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they brandished their sharp claws as they pounced on Chen You.
Seeing the menacing wave of monsters, Chen You didn't even move an inch.
He simply twirled his sword lightly.
Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique - Chaotic Stars!
In an instant, the jade disc in his hand seemed to transform into a dazzling star, bursting forth with countless tiny sword beams.
"Puff puff puff puff puff—"
The sounds of flesh being pierced were deafening.
Those royal attendants who had just rushed out of the gate were riddled with holes by the rain of sword light before they could even get within ten meters of Chen You.
Their health points were instantly depleted, and before they could even let out a wail, they all collapsed to the ground.
One move, and the area is cleared.
Chen You looked around and, finding nothing to pick up, went straight through the gate.
Behind the door was a giant corridor that stretched as far as the eye could see, with grotesque statues standing on both sides, creating a sinister atmosphere.
In the corridor, several groups of royal attendants were patrolling back and forth.
Chen You walked leisurely in the middle of the corridor, as if he were strolling in his own backyard.
When the first patrol of servants spotted him and charged at him with a roar, he simply waved his hand dismissively.
A "Stunning Swan" sword aura shot out from his hand, accurately piercing through the heads of the three servants.
Keep going.
The second squad of attendants flanked the enemy from the side.
Without even looking, he swung his sword again.
A flash of sword light appeared, and three heads shot into the sky.
Throughout the entire process, he did not pause for a single moment.
They marched and killed their way through.
When he leisurely walked to the end of the corridor, he left behind a pile of monster corpses.
After passing through the corridor, the view suddenly opened up before me.
You have entered the War Forecourt!
This is a huge, open space, resembling an abandoned royal courtyard.
A shattered, blood-red crescent moon hung in the sky, its cold light casting an eerie silver frost over the withered flowers and grasses scattered on the ground.
A dry, straight riverbed, like a huge scar, divides the entire garden in two.
In the half of the garden where Chen You was, three figures stood quietly.
The one in the middle was incredibly tall, probably twenty or thirty meters high, and his upper body was bare.
He was bound by thick black chains, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, his face obscured.
Beside him stood two figures that were much smaller, about five meters tall.
They held a long whip in one hand and some kind of branding iron that glowed red in the other, their faces bearing a twisted and fanatical expression.
One of the figures raised his long whip high and lashed it hard across the giant's back.
"Snapped!"
The crisp crack of the whip exploded in the deathly silent courtyard.
The giant's body trembled, but he made no sound.
"Slap! Slap!"
Another figure followed closely behind, branding the spot with a hot iron, producing a sizzling sound and a burnt smell.
The two henchmen, one wielding a whip and the other a branding iron, moved with practiced skill and perfect coordination, as if performing some solemn and sacred ritual.
The towering giant remained silent, enduring all of this in quiet desperation.
The scene was eerily strange and...unpleasant to look at.
Chen You stood there, his brows furrowed in a frown.
He recalled what Moon Arrow had said: "The first boss... we couldn't understand it at all."
At the time, he thought it was some kind of complex mechanism involving the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, or Qimen Dunjia.
Now it seems...
This is more than just incomprehensible; it's utterly unbearable to watch!
He drew parallels to large-scale BDSM activities.
Chen You even wondered if he had gone to the wrong place and accidentally entered some paid channel.
"Could it be that the Moon Goddess's Radiance group was wiped out because their values were challenged?"
He silently complained to himself.
Watching the two henchmen continue their tireless "violence," Chen You felt as if his eyes had been polluted.
We can't let them continue like this.
He took a deep breath and gathered all his inner energy.
"cough!"
A clear cough, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly shattered the eerie rhythm in the courtyard.
The two figures who were carrying out the execution paused and slowly turned around.
Their faces resemble those of ordinary humans, but their skin is an eerie bluish-gray.
There were no pupils in his eyes, only two burning scarlet flames.
Chen You took a step forward, his face filled with righteous indignation.
He shouted in a deep voice, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky! What kind of behavior is this?!"
The two figures seemed to be stunned for a moment, the crimson flames flickering, clearly not expecting anyone to start in this way.
Chen You continued to rebuke him righteously and sternly.
"Have you...gone no law at all? Even if you have some deep-seated hatred, you can't resort to this..."
"Stop this uncivilized behavior right now!"
The righteous rebuke echoed through the empty, deathly silent courtyard.
The two gray-blue figures in charge of the execution froze completely, and a question mark seemed to flash across their eyes, which were burning with scarlet flames.
They couldn't understand the meaning of these words; the underlying logic modules of the system were operating at high speed, trying to match the corresponding hatred mechanism.
The dungeon boss, [Warrior Augustus], has been activated.
A cold system notification sounded in Chen You's ears.
Before the words were finished, the giant's body, bound by chains, in the center of the courtyard trembled violently.
"roar--!"
A roar that had been suppressed for thousands of years rose into the sky, as if to tear apart the blood-red heavens.
The thick black chains binding him suddenly made a crisp "crackling" sound.
It didn't break off, but rather, like a living thing, it slowly seeped into his flesh and blood.
With each inch it merged in, the giant's body expanded a little more, and its head, which had been hanging low, slowly rose.
