Seeing that warrior in golden armor, with golden light flowing all over his body.
Before Zhang Yue could react, Chen Zijin immediately drew her twin blades and held them tightly in her hands, eyes blazing as she stared at the other party, ready to fight at any time.
Ever since she saw this flowing-gold warrior maliciously attack Zhang Yue on the super volcanic island in the World 25, Chen Zijin had already marked him as an enemy.
At this time, under this circumstance, encountering this guy, who had fought her twice and even sent her a Hell Arena invitation, Zhang Yue's first reaction was also one of surprise.
Especially upon hearing him say that he was willing to help them clear the Reaper Arena.
At this moment, Chen Zijin stared at the flowing-gold warrior and questioned, "What, don't tell me you're here remembering the grudge from last time, coming to steal the Netherstone?"
The flowing-gold warrior directly ignored Chen Zijin, and through the sealed metal helmet, he stared at Zhang Yue and said, "I can help you clear the Nightmare Arena."
The voice of the flowing-gold warrior was extremely low and deep, enough to bring about an intense sense of awe just by sound alone.
Even more so, it was difficult to imagine what was hidden beneath this metal armor. Whether it was a human, or something else entirely.
Chen Zijin couldn't help but look at the flowing-gold warrior with an incredulous gaze.
"Someone who just wanted to kill you one second ago, and is now talking cooperation and offering to help the next," Chen Zijin said to Zhang Yue, "What kind of mindset do you think that is?"
Zhang Yue looked at the flowing-gold warrior and calmly said, "However, he is indeed the only one who can help us clear the Nightmare Arena."
Chen Zijin looked at Zhang Yue again with an incredulous gaze, "But are you really willing to trust an enemy? Even if it's a stranger, that's understandable, but he, he's your enemy!"
Zhang Yue's gaze never left the flowing-gold warrior.
In a voice only Chen Zijin could hear, he said to her, "What do you think his purpose is in seeking us out?"
Chen Zijin hesitated for a moment, then said, "To use us to help him clear the Nightmare Arena, because he alone also can't clear it."
Zhang Yue agreed, "In that case, we just use each other and take what we each need."
"Of course, that doesn't change the fact that we are still enemies."
Chen Zijin opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping.
Even though flowing gold warrior couldn't be trusted, it was indeed true, this was the only way to clear the Reaper Arena.
His strength was on par with Zhang Yue, even far surpassing Chen Zijin herself.
If they teamed up with him, the chance of clearing the Reaper Arena in one go would be over ninety percent.
Using each other.
Just right, Zhang Yue also wanted to take this opportunity to probe the true identity of this flowing-gold warrior and see who he really was.
Thus, Zhang Yue directly sent the team invitation to the flowing-gold warrior, "Welcome to join."
["Ding~ Professional [Nameless] (in hidden ID mode, all show as Nameless) has joined the team!"]
Zhang Yue authorized the third slot to the flowing-gold warrior, granting him eligibility to enter the Reaper Arena.
Then, the three of them stepped into the Reaper Arena together.
The scene shifted, and they appeared in a vast dark domain.
["Ding~ Welcome to Nightmare Difficulty [Reaper Arena], please follow the rules and clear the arena within the time limit. All three must pass to be considered cleared. If any one person fails, it will be considered a failed attempt!"]
["Please begin the challenge."]
With the system prompt falling, a light screen simultaneously appeared before the three of them.
Chen Zijin glared at the flowing-gold warrior, clenching her fists and saying with annoyance, "You'd better not trick us!"
The flowing-gold warrior said nothing and was the first to step into the light screen.
"You be careful."
Zhang Yue said to Chen Zijin, then stepped into the light screen as well.
Chen Zijin encouraged herself, "You can do it, Chen Zijin."
After saying this, Chen Zijin also stepped into the light screen.
Whoosh!
After passing through the light screen, Zhang Yue appeared inside an underground castle.
All around was dim, with a heavy atmosphere. One coffin after another leaned against the stone walls, creating a sense of suffocating pressure.
["Ding~ Nightmare Difficulty Reaper Arena Phase One Challenge begins now!"]
With the system prompt falling.
In front of his vision, clang~ clang~
The lids of the coffins leaning against the stone walls opened automatically.
Next, one after another, mummies wrapped in white bandages sprang from the coffins.
They roared as they leapt toward Zhang Yue.
[Level 175 Elite Monster · Reaper Mummy]
Looking around.
'Good grief, more than ten mummies, all elite-level?'
'This is only the first stage of the challenge, and it's already this ridiculous?'
'No wonder it's known as the highest difficulty arena, one that nations around the world have been unable to conquer.'
But for Zhang Yue, it was even more of a challenge.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
More than ten level 175 elite mummies charged toward Zhang Yue at once.
Zhang Yue raised his staff and began casting.
The difference between elite monsters and regular mobs was still quite significant.
Detection spell showed: This Reaper Mummy had 25.5 million attack power and 18 million defense power.
Of course, to Zhang Yue, these two stats could be completely ignored.
Because no matter how high the defense, it could be pierced instantly by Zhang Yue's 1200% magic penetration.
Zhang Yue focused on the key attribute, health points.
The Reaper Mummy's health reached 12 billion, clearly not a target that could be instantly killed with a single-target spell.
Standing in place, waiting for the group of mummies to gather completely.
Zhang Yue waved his staff.
Hell's Judgment!
Necro Storm!
Thundercloud Storm!
Lightning and Thunder!
Four SSS-rank rare AOE skills were unleashed.
The powerful skill effects instantly engulfed all the mummies around Zhang Yue. One after another, beams of death light and thunder continuously corroded them, exploding in a large swath of AOE damage above their heads—
-480 million!
-790 million!
-750 million!
-2.47 billion...
Zhang Yue's AOE skills were mostly continuous damage effects, and while each individual hit wasn't extremely high, when the full effect of the skill landed, the total damage was not to be underestimated.
The moment this explosive damage was unleashed, through converting 100% of the damage dealt into [Void Shield], it instantly reached the maximum 12x HP limit: 250 million.
As for the attacks from the mummies that weren't instantly killed, each hit dealt only 5 to 7 million damage. Like raindrops falling on steel armor to Zhang Yue, not even worth worrying about.
Once the four AOE skills had fully dealt their damage, the HP bars of over ten Reaper Mummies were uniformly reduced by four-fifths!
At this moment, Zhang Yue cast one more Oblivion · Thunder's Wrath, dealing 2.5 billion+ damage to kill one mummy in front of him.
Triggered the Ghost Eye's pursuit effect.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A massive barrage of lightning struck down, instantly obliterating all of the dozen or so mummies.
["Ding~ Congratulations, you have cleared Phase One of the Reaper Arena challenge!"]
