Chapter 518: Chapter 265: Conscientious Copy! (Two in One) _2 Arribas’s deep and authoritative voice echoed through the cave, filling it with a sense of oppression and terror. Fire Dragon Arribas opened its enormous mouth, inside which burned scorching flames that seared the air. It absorbed the energy within its lair; as it inhaled and exhaled, the flames in its mouth coalesced into a massive and terrifying energy ball. The brilliant red light from this fearsome sphere of fire instantly illuminated the entire cavern. The terrifying temperature further agitated the surrounding magma, causing the flames to blaze fiercely. Time seemed to freeze as Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin watched, feeling the heat in the air. The dragon’s thunderous inhalations echoed in the cave, then it spewed out that scorching fire energy ball with astonishing speed. The energy ball was composed of countless flames, burning fiercely and emitting a suffocating heat. It was like a sun, dazzling and breathtaking. With the Fire Dragon’s exhalation, the energy ball plummeted towards Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin like a fallen sun. The breath of the Fire Dragon was unstoppable, instantly changing the temperature and light within the cave. Chen Mo didn’t act hastily, as he wanted to see if he could copy any powerful abilities from the Fire Dragon. Having just been captivated by the beautiful scenery in the Lava Cave, he hadn’t yet had a chance to check the Fire Dragon’s attributes. The moment the dragon exhaled, Chen Mo conjured a Solid Shield to cover both himself and Yusheng Liuyin. With his current attributes, the shield’s thickness exceeded 900 million. Such a robust shield, like an unbreakable barrier, completely blocked the furious Fire Energy Ball. Yusheng Liuyin, who had been preparing to cast her Yin and Yang Technique to take Chen Mo into the Void Realm and evade the damage, paused when she felt the powerful shield. Her eyes were wide with shock as she looked at Chen Mo, her face a mask of incredulity. Although she had heard of Chen Mo’s strength, this was the first time she had genuinely experienced his capabilities. He merely showed a hint of his power, and it already stunned her. A shield with nearly 1 billion in thickness? Is this something a first-transition professional can cast? And what’s even more astounding is that this isn’t an ordinary shield; it’s a shield that can block any damage, whether it’s true damage or any other type. That’s the true strength of this shield. Even if ordinary shields are thick, they become useless when encountering true damage. But Chen Mo’s shield is both incredibly thick and reassuring. The moment the Fire Energy Ball touched the shield, it detonated with a BANG, setting off a massive explosion. Flames erupted, energy scattered, and the entire space began to tremble. The cave walls shook, and the magma churned, but the two figures beneath the shield remained steadfast, not retreating an inch. At the same time, two Lightning Chains suddenly shot out from the shield toward the Fire Dragon on the opposite side. However, it wasn’t very effective. Even though Chen Mo’s Magic Attack now exceeded 300,000, he was currently in a Level 80 third-transition instance with Yusheng Liuyin, and this Fire Dragon was a formidable BOSS of the same tier. Its attributes were quite high; its defensive power alone was over 1.5 million. Furthermore, the Fire Dragon possessed absolute defense, impervious to any damage type except true damage. All other types of damage were subject to attack versus defense calculations. The 300,000-plus Chaos Damage from the Lightning Chains was no different from a Normal Attack. After the attack and defense calculations, it failed to penetrate the Fire Dragon’s defense, rendering the attack ineffective. The power of the Fire Energy Ball quickly dissipated, and tranquility returned to the cave. Both sides had engaged in a simple skirmish, with neither inflicting damage on the other. After withstanding the Fire Dragon’s attack, Chen Mo examined its attributes. He found that most of its abilities were inherent to dragons, making them difficult to replicate. Chen Mo had originally hoped to see if this creature knew any Draconic Magic. If he could copy a Draconic Magic spell, it would be comparable to a true forbidden curse. Unfortunately, this dragon didn’t seem to possess any. Seeing this, Chen Mo lost interest in toying with it and, with a mere thought, summoned a large number of Skeleton Monsters. Just a moment ago, Yusheng Liuyin had been wondering. Alina said Chen Mo was a Skeleton Mage, so why hadn’t he summoned any skeletons? Instead, he used a shield and Lightning Chains, and his damage output wasn’t even that high. Yet, in the blink of an eye, she sensed tens of millions of densely packed Skeleton Monsters appearing around Chen Mo, their attributes terrifyingly high. Yusheng Liuyin thought, "Impossible! Is this the strength of summons from a Level 40 first-transition professional? Their attack power is actually in the tens of millions?!" Yusheng Liuyin wondered if her eyes were deceiving her. Chen Mo’s current attributes: [Level]: 40 [Experience]: 20,664,699 / 4,645,300 (eighth-tier bottleneck) [Attributes]: Constitution: 66,792 (Life: 2,553,760; Physical Defense: 388,960; Life Recovery: 66,792/10 sec (100%/sec)) Strength: 66,792 (Physical Attack: 200,376) Agility: 66,792 (Critical Damage: +66,792%) Wisdom: 122,392 (Magic Attack: 377,175) Spirit: 122,392 (Energy: 6,119,575; Magic Defense: 666,958; Energy Recovery: 127,392/10 sec (200%/sec)) The Skeleton Monsters he could summon had the following attributes: Health 10,403,278; Physical Attack 3,120,983; Magic Attack 3,120,983; Physical Defense 0; Magic Defense 0. Characteristics: Bomb, Revival, Corpse Poison, Rally, Sacred, Unity, Sustained, Symbiosis. With his current attributes, the Skeleton Monsters he could summon had an attack power exceeding three million. Furthermore, under the Rally characteristic’s enhancement, the Skeleton Monsters’ attributes increased even further, granting them the tens of millions in attack power she was now witnessing. Previously, Chen Mo’s own Magic Attack was just over 300,000, which might not have been enough to break through the Fire Dragon’s defense, but his Skeleton Monsters were a different story. Moreover, all of Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters now possessed low-level class Skills. As Chen Mo summoned over fifty million Skeleton Archers, they all began to glow red, activating their basic Skill: Rapid-Fire! Their attack speed instantly doubled. Within a single second, each Skeleton Monster loosed at least four arrows. The third-transition, Level 80 BOSS Fire Dragon only had a little over 180 billion Health. Over fifty million Skeleton Archers, each with tens of millions in attack power, could have killed it in a single round of Normal Attacks. That wasn’t even counting the fact they had activated Skills to boost their attack speed, with each Skeleton Archer continuously launching several arrows. The Fire Dragon, having spent its eons cowering in its lair, had never witnessed such a terrifying onslaught. It had no chance to resist and was instantly riddled with arrows, crashing heavily to the ground. This spectacle left Yusheng Liuyin so shocked she stood rooted to the spot. She had heard how terrifying Chen Mo was and had tried to imagine his strength, but she had never conceived he could be *this* ridiculously powerful. With attributes like these, who could possibly contend with him unless they’ve reached the fifth-transition? Anyone else would likely be instantly killed. No wonder Alina said not to bother with his Level; he can carry anyone through high-difficulty instances of any tier! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 Actually, Yusheng Liuyin didn’t realize that Alina’s knowledge of Chen Mo was based on when he was only Level 35. Chen Mo’s current strength was far beyond what he possessed at Level 35. He had been comprehensively enhanced after emerging from the previous instance. Forget fourth-transition; Chen Mo dared to believe he could instantly kill even a fifth-transition professional, provided their Divine Power wasn’t exceptionally high. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully killed the Fire Dragon Arribas. Rewards for this instance are increased by 100%. Fire Dragon Arribas was a Legendary creature and contains many Legendary materials. You are temporarily granted the ’Top-Tier Collecting Technique’. Please enjoy collecting!] Chen Mo remarked, "This instance is quite generous, even providing a collecting technique!" Chen Mo was pleasantly surprised; he had been wondering if he should stuff the dragon into his space backpack to take back. Just as The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded, a black mist suddenly erupted from the corpse of Fire Dragon Arribas. An Undead state of the Fire Dragon Arribas materialized before Chen Mo and Yusheng Liuyin. Chen Mo considered the Fire Dragon Arribas’s strength. It lacked any special abilities and wasn’t even as strong as his Skeleton Monsters. He directly dismissed the undead creature, having no intention of keeping it.
