Chapter 594 Killing the Half-Summoned Beast
Lin Tian didn't stop. His third stellar ray was already aimed at the last bone pillar.
The golden beam of light burst forth once more, tracing a straight path across the night sky.
Just a second before the beam pierced through the third bone pillar, the half-summoned monster suddenly made an unexpected move.
Unlike the unfinished product from last time, it wasn't sucked back into the blood pool—instead, it used the surging energy pressure inside the pool to force its way out.
Fang Ping's eyes widened.
"It hasn't been fully summoned yet—?!"
Lin Tian's gaze clashed with the magical beast's in mid-air. A new icon popped up on the system panel.
[Semi-Summoning State - Forced Early Descendance]
[Current progress of physicalization: 83%]
[Warning: Due to the forced descent, the monster's health, defense, and damage output are not at their full potential. However, the sacrificial energy backlash has granted it the "Unstable Berserk" effect—temporarily increasing attack power by 30% and attack speed by 50%. Each instance of damage received triggers a small-area splash damage effect, which can instantly kill targets below level 80.]
[Duration: Until the backlash energy is exhausted (estimated 8 minutes)]
[Note: Its core is located in the very center of its chest. Focusing damage on the core will accelerate the backlash process.]
The half-summoned beast rose from the blood pool, its right claw sweeping out three blood-red energy blades in a fan shape.
The outermost energy blade grazed past Chen Feng's frozen totem, severing the totem pole cleanly at the base, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut.
When Chen Feng's mana shield was grazed, it lost 70% of its durability. He quickly took two steps back to the side and rear, readjusted his attack angle, and moved very steadily.
The secret to his survival in countless battles lies in this: never dwelling on the fact that he "almost got killed," but always thinking about where to stand next.
Luo's third armor-piercing arrow struck the monster's left eye.
The arrow embedded itself, but only half an inch deep—the skin's defensive capabilities were higher than they had anticipated.
The monster shook its head, sending the armor-piercing arrow flying and bringing out a small piece of bloodless flesh.
The bits of flesh turned into data points and dissipated in mid-air—NPCs have different body structures than players, and they automatically disintegrate when their health reaches zero.
Immediately afterwards, its large mouth opened, and a ball of dark red energy surged from deep within its throat.
Energy condensed into a basketball-sized ball of light inside its mouth, then exploded—a thick, dark red beam of light shot out from its mouth, heading straight for Lin Tian's chest.
Unstable, violent energy erupted from every crack in its body, exploding into a dark red splash of damage in the night sky, like a runaway high-pressure water gun.
Liu Yuan was on a high ground fifty meters away when he was almost hit by a fragment of energy that was ejected from the ground—the radius of that fragment was at least ten meters farther than Chen Feng had estimated.
Liu Yuan had to jump up and change his shooting position. When he landed, he stumbled and almost fell off the high ground. Fortunately, his agility was high enough that he managed to steady himself in the last half step.
Lin Tian did not dodge.
The stellar light pierced through the monster's massive body, and the moment it reformed behind him, his right hand was already on the back of the monster's neck.
Stellar rays.
Released at point-blank range, the golden beam pierced through the back of the monster's neck and exited from the very center of its core.
The monster's health bar dropped drastically, triggering an additional energy backlash—a clearly visible crack appeared in its core structure.
The monster let out a deafening roar, turned its body sharply, and slashed its right claw at Lin Tian behind its shoulder.
This claw strike was noticeably slower than its first strike—the damage to its core delayed its attack. The "Unstable Frenzy" buff icon on the system panel began flashing red, a warning that the backlash effect was about to enter its final stage.
Lin Tian released his hand from the back of its neck, flipped backward, and the moment he landed, his left hand activated gravity.
The invisible force field of the Divine Realm Gravity forcibly dragged the massive body of the magical beast toward him.
The monster's four legs dug four deep furrows in the ground, and its body was uncontrollably dragged by gravity toward Lin Tian, the dragging speed increasing.
Right hand, fourth stellar ray.
The wound in the same location—the back of the neck—was pierced again.
A golden beam of light entered from the back of the neck, passed through the core, and exited from the chest, drawing a straight golden line in the night sky.
The core crack of the monster increased from one to three, and backlash energy surged from the cracks, causing its body to collapse from the inside.
The monster's health bar was down to its last sliver—less than 5%.
It struggled to raise its right paw for a final attack, but stopped halfway up.
The cracks in the core had spread throughout the body, and dark red backlash energy was shooting out from each crack. The body's connecting structure could no longer withstand this level of internal pressure.
Three seconds later, the monster's body began to collapse from its core.
First, a large hole exploded in his chest, then his limbs fell off his torso, and finally his entire body turned into countless gray-white specks of light, drifting away in the night.
[System notification: You have killed a half-summoned monster (LV90).]
[Gained 58,500,000 experience points.]
Lin Tian's experience bar suddenly increased significantly.
The experience from the level 90 boss was indeed plentiful—even if this forced-deployment monster didn't give all the experience, it was still much more than a normal dungeon run.
Looking at the experience percentage, the gap to level 74 has narrowed even further.
All three bone pillars collapsed, and the blood pool was rapidly drying up—without the driving force of the bone pillars, the blood sacrifice ritual was completely interrupted, and the dark red liquid in the pool evaporated at a visible speed.
The remaining shamans turned and fled without hesitation as the bone pillar collapsed.
Before fleeing, the level 86 shaman high priest glanced back at Lin Tian—there was no anger in that glance, only a calm, scrutinizing expression, as if he were taking notes.
That expression sent a chill down Fang Ping's spine. Even though the other person was the one running away, that look seemed to say, "The intensity will be more suitable next time."
Fang Ping sheathed his twin swords, walked to Lin Tian's side, looked at the bone pillar fragments scattered on the ground, and then at the dissipating energy residue at the bottom of the blood pool. He let out a long breath.
From the first Star Ray to now, the entire battle felt like a dungeon run to him—Lin Tian was a max-level main DPS who combined tanking, damage dealing, and crowd control, while the others were just teammates leeching experience.
