PFC Chapter 079 First Kill of a Star-Level BOSS!
Chapter 079 First Kill of a Star-Level BOSS!
Su Yu strongly suspected that the Tower of Novice Trials would change its strategy starting from this level.
Previously, the test focused on players' ability to deal damage to multiple targets; now, the test begins to focus on their ability to deal damage to a single target.
Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately opened his skill panel.
He currently has 1823 skill points, which is more than enough to level up Soul Severing Arrow from level 71 to 91 in one go.
This will significantly improve his single-target damage output.
With a thought, Su Yu immediately began to upgrade the level of the Soul-Severing Arrow.
[You have consumed 71 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 72!]
……
[You have consumed 90 skill points, increasing the level of Soul-Severing Arrow. Current level: 91!]
【lv91 Soul-Severing Arrow (Normal): Active skill, fires a powerful arrow, dealing damage equal to 1820 + physical attack power * 570% to the target, consumes 190 mana, cooldown 0.9 seconds.】
[Level 80 Trait: Each time Soul-Severing Arrow is used, an additional powerful arrow can be fired.]
【lv90特性：可消耗箭矢数量*10/100/1000倍法力值，使断魂箭的威力提升至2/3/5倍。
You can also control the number of extra arrows fired each time.
"Wow, the Soul-Severing Arrow can actually deal multiple times the damage!" A look of surprise flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
With the level 90 special ability of the Soul-Severing Arrow, his burst damage capability undergoes a qualitative change.
The only downside is that it consumes too much mana.
The Soul-Severing Arrow can now fire five arrows at once. If it uses a thousand times the mana cost, it will instantly consume 95 mana.
Su Yu's current maximum mana is only a little over 14. Even with the Soul-Severing Arrow, which consumes a hundred times more mana, he can only use it once.
Although the Soul-Severing Arrow will return all the mana it consumes after killing the target.
However, if you encounter a powerful boss like Cerberus, you definitely can't kill it with a single arrow.
Under normal circumstances, Su Yu can only withstand the Soul-Severing Arrow, which consumes up to ten times the mana.
Even so, a dozen or so arrows would be his limit.
If the boss cannot be killed after a dozen or so arrows, then he will have no choice but to use the regular Soul-Severing Arrow.
With Su Yu's current mana recovery rate, he can recover at least several hundred mana points per second.
If you use the regular version of Soul Arrow, you don't need to worry about not having enough mana.
"Looks like I need to find a way to increase my maximum mana and mana regeneration speed," Su Yu thought to himself.
Lightning Bolt is fine; it's generally only used to clear out mobs. It's guaranteed to kill the target, so there's no need to worry about mana consumption.
However, the Soul-Severing Arrow is different; it's usually used to fight bosses.
When encountering a powerful BOSS, it's impossible to kill it with one arrow, meaning that each use will consume a large amount of your own mana.
Su Yu's requirements are not high; he just wants to raise his mana cap to one million in the short term.
Pulling his thoughts back, Su Yu focused his attention on the Cerberus not far away.
He only spent a fraction of a second upgrading his skill.
The three-headed hellhound, not far away, is still in a dazed state after its arrival, surveying its surroundings.
"roar!"
Soon, Cerberus spotted Su Yu and immediately charged towards him.
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!
-214.6 million! (Critical Hit)
-214.6 million! (Critical Hit)
……
In an instant, Cerberus lost more than one-fifth of its health.
"Not bad, not bad at all. The Soul-Severing Arrow, which consumes ten times the mana, is indeed powerful!" Su Yu smiled.
After Soul Severing Arrow is upgraded to level 91, the skill cooldown time is only 0.9 seconds.
This means that his current damage per second has exceeded ten million.
Although this DPS was achieved with the help of the two skills, Counterattack and Berserker's Fury, it was enough to demonstrate Su Yu's terrifying strength.
"roar!"
The three-headed hellhound roared, its entire body covered in a layer of black light, and its movement speed suddenly increased significantly.
At the same time, a sound wave burst forth instantly.
In an instant, the sound wave swept across Su Yu's body, leaving him no chance to dodge.
boom!
-68.2 million!
"Wow, that's some serious damage." Su Yu took a deep breath.
As expected of a level 30 Star-level BOSS, any skill can deal hundreds of thousands of damage to him.
I wonder if level 30 Star-level BOSSes are this strong outside.
"Play guerrilla warfare with it and wait for the Soul-Severing Arrow skill to cool down." A glint of light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Cerberus has a physical defense of up to 50,000, and with its current attack power, a normal attack can only deal less than 100,000 damage to it.
Compared to the Soul-Severing Arrow, this damage is pitifully small.
He should focus on positioning himself and walking the dog properly.
Suddenly, three enormous black fireballs hurtled toward Su Yu.
Extreme speed!
Swish!
Su Yu moved swiftly, his speed exploding to the extreme, and directly dodged the three enormous black fireballs.
Soul-Severing Arrow!
With a thought, Su Yu sent five Soul-Severing Arrows, each consuming ten times the mana, flying through the air.
boom! boom! boom!
-214.6 million! (Critical Hit)
-214.6 million! (Critical Hit)
……
In the blink of an eye, Cerberus's health was reduced by more than one-fifth again.
Su Yu, on the other hand, now had five more thick shields, enough to withstand more than ten million damage.
"roar!"
Cerberus's eyes were bloodshot; the damage from this little insect was simply too much for him.
Swish!
In the next instant, a black flame domain unfolded, directly covering the entire Novice Trial Tower.
boom!
-58.8 million!
"Another domain-type skill. I wish I could get one too." Su Yu said with a sigh.
These high-level bosses almost all have area-of-effect skills, which is really troublesome.
Especially in a limited area like the Tower of Trials for Beginners, once a field-type skill covers you, there's no way to dodge it.
Su Yu walked the dog while waiting for the Soul-Severing Arrow skill to cool down.
As soon as the Soul-Severing Arrow skill cooldown was over, he immediately attacked Cerberus.
In a short time, less than three seconds later, Su Yu completely depleted Cerberus's health points.
Rumble!
The massive body of Cerberus could no longer support itself and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
[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 73rd floor of the Tower of New Player Trials, earning 730 completion points.]
[A global announcement is coming soon. Should I hide my nickname?]
"Don't hide it!" Su Yu said in a deep voice.
Immediately, three world announcements rang in the ears of all players on Earth.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to Yu Huang, player of the Holy Dragon Empire, for becoming the first player to solo a Star-level BOSS. Rewards include: 1 Epic-grade skill book for your class, 50 gold coins, and 100 reputation points.] x3
