After navigating the labyrinthine mine shafts, they entered the latter half of the dungeon. A massive corridor, stretching for a thousand meters, lay before them.
On either side of the passage were cells, like prison rooms.
Huge iron gates stood outside each cell, resembling a prison from afar. Howls of beasts echoed through the vast corridor, and a foul stench, alongside the scent of blood, permeated the air.
A massive monster blocked their path.
This monster resembled a wolf-dog hybrid, its body over a meter tall even when lying down. If it stood up, it would tower over three meters. Its body length stretched over five meters.
The Detection Spell washed over the monster like a gentle breeze. 【Mine Mountain Wolf King (Elite Leader)】【Level: 15】
【Strength: 2000】
【Agility: 2000】
【Spirit: 1000】
【Constitution: 2500】
【Skill: Roar】
This was the first time Lin Mo Yu encountered a leader-level monster, and an elite one at that.
While its stats were still inferior to the Skeleton Warrior, it was significantly stronger than other smaller monsters.
“Even the leader's attributes are this high, the final dungeon boss must be even more powerful.”
“But it shouldn't be stronger than the Skeleton Warrior, otherwise, no one would be able to clear this dungeon.”
Such a level of difficulty was normal for a Nightmare difficulty dungeon.
Generally, those capable of conquering a Nightmare difficulty dungeon would surpass the dungeon's level. An elite team of five would likely need to be around level 17 or 18.
Moreover, their equipment and skills couldn't be lacking.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle a Nightmare dungeon.
Someone like Lin Mo Yu, soloing a Nightmare dungeon at level 10, was unprecedented.
Affected by the Detection Spell, the Mine Mountain Wolf King stirred from its slumber.
It slowly rose, its massive wolf body exceeding five meters. Even Lin Mo Yu and the Skeleton Warrior were shorter than its legs.
The scarlet wolf eyes glared at Lin Mo Yu, radiating a bloodthirsty aura. A chilling pressure enveloped him.
“Charge!”
Lin Mo Yu gave the order.
Fifty-six skeletons charged toward the Mine Mountain Wolf King like lightning.
The Mine Mountain Wolf let out a roar, unleashing its skill.
A powerful shockwave erupted from its mouth.
The first thirty or so skeletons were sent flying backwards. The mine walls trembled, showering them with debris.
Even standing dozens of meters away, Lin Mo Yu felt the shockwave, a hint of surprise on his face.
This skill was a group skill, with a knockback effect. This was the first time he had seen the skeletons knocked back.
The skeletons, having been sent flying, tumbled to the ground, crashing against the rock walls. They looked a bit ragged.
Lin Mo Yu didn't show any worry. He could sense that they were simply knocked back.
The actual damage they received was minimal. Their 3400 Constitution wasn't a joke.
The skeletons' defense was already incredibly strong.
They quickly rose, once again charging towards the Mine Mountain Wolf King. The slight cracks from the previous attack had quickly vanished, leaving them as good as new.
Their soul flames still burned brightly.
“Use your skill!”
Savage Blow!
The skeletons who weren't knocked back had reached the Mine Mountain Wolf King. Their blades, glowing red, slashed at its flesh.
Blood sprayed, flesh tore, and deep wounds were visible. The Wolf King howled in agony.
Many skeletons leaped high, landing directly on the Mine Mountain Wolf King's back, their blades glowing red as they activated their skills.
This scene resembled the one Lin Mo Yu witnessed during his ascension. That's how the skeletons had slain the dragon.
The Mine Mountain Wolf King wasn't as massive as the dragon, nor was it as powerful. The skeletons' attack power was even higher, with each strike inflicting considerable damage.
The Mine Mountain Wolf King rolled wildly, its massive body smashing against the mine walls, trying to throw off the skeletons clinging to its back.
The skeletons held onto its flesh firmly, impossible to shake off.
The skeletons on the ground relentlessly pursued, each strike landing on its legs. Their blades, striking bone, produced a metallic clang, causing the Wolf King to scream in pain.
Its claws swatted at the skeletons, the force of the impact sending them flying back.
The skeletons weren't seriously injured and quickly returned to the fray. It tried to bite, only to break its teeth. The skeletons' 3400 Constitution was incredibly sturdy.
“What's the use of being huge? You're doomed anyway.”
Lin Mo Yu watched the scene, feeling a sense of realization. While a massive size brought overwhelming pressure and tremendous strength, it also became a weakness. As long as their defense was insufficient to withstand the skeletons' attacks, the outcome was predictable.
In mere seconds, the Wolf King was on the verge of death.
Roar!
Another deafening roar erupted. The Mine Mountain Wolf King launched its skill again. This time, it used all its strength. The knockback effect of the Roar was maximized.
The shockwave swept across, finally throwing all the skeletons on its back away. Even the nearby skeletons were sent flying.
“The skill's attack power is mediocre, but the knockback effect is pretty good.”
Lin Mo Yu watched the skeletons scattering like blooming flowers, his face expressionless. The skill looked powerful, but the skeletons hadn't suffered much damage. Sure enough, they rolled as they landed, and one by one, they returned to the fight, fierce and strong.
The Mine Mountain Wolf King suddenly turned and limped toward the passageway.
“It ran away?”
