Chapter 265: Chapter 160: Four Golden Armors, the Overlord Level BOSS Appears

But what was piled up here weren’t skeletons like before, but a huge, jumbled mound of boulders.

Though the passage of time had left their surfaces mottled and eroded, a faint glint of Dark Gold could be seen from within.

The closer they got, the more they could feel a staggering sense of pressure.

It was as if they had stepped into an invisible Gravity Field, and even their shoulders felt heavier.

Shen Xing had sensed danger from this pile of rubble, which was why he had saved it for last.

By the time they reached the edge of the pile of boulders, the terrifying gravity had almost become tangible, pressing down on the lower-level Beastmen until they were panting, unable to even lift their weapons.

"Get ready."

Shen Xing’s deep voice echoed around them. All the Soldier Types tightened their grips on their weapons, bracing for a fight.

The next moment, he turned his right hand over, and the Void Hand came crashing down, utterly destroying the tombstone nearby.

"RUMBLE... RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!"

The familiar earthquake started again, and the ground all around them began to heave and rise.

A massive number of Dragon Tomb Watchers swarmed out from underground, more than in any of the previous encounters.

They closed in from all directions, the footsteps of thousands making the ground tremble.

The Soldier Types didn’t move. They were waiting for their Lord’s command.

Shen Xing didn’t move either. He was waiting for the final boss to appear.

"RATTLE... CLATTER..."

Boulder after boulder floated up from the center of the ruins, spinning rapidly and assembling in midair.

Accompanied by a grating, jarring sound of impact, they gradually formed a Stone Giant standing fifteen meters tall, its limbs as thick as stone pillars.

At first, the Stone Giant looked rather ancient and unadorned.

But as two golden lights ignited within its stone pupils, the Stone Giant’s rocky exterior began to flake away, and a blinding golden light erupted from within!

Dangerous, imposing, majestic... a powerful aura surged forth.

When the light dissipated, a Stone Giant stood in its place, brilliant from head to toe, as if it had been forged from pure Gold.

[Golden Stone Giant: Garon (BOSS)]

[Level: 29]

[Potential: Overlord ★]

[Attributes: Power 5,135, Spirit 4,821, Agility 3,492, Constitution 5,578]

[Skills: Earth Tremor, Rock Throwing, Petrifying Heavy Fist, Earth Splitting Shock, Rock Armor Hardening, Gravity Crush, Shattering Stone Storm...]

[Leader-level Skills: Hot Hand (Slams its fists together, creating a deafening crash that stuns enemies within 100 meters and increases its own Attack Power by 10%. Stacks up to 3 times.)

Golden Rock (Imbues its fists with the Power of Gold. Every punch creates an area-of-effect explosion, dealing 65% splash damage to surrounding enemies. Lasts for 10 seconds.)

Heaven and Earth Destruction (The Stone Giant leaps high, disappearing into the Celestial Vault. After 3 seconds, it transforms into a devastating meteor and plummets from the sky, dealing 1500% of its Attack Power as destructive damage to enemies in the central impact zone (500-meter diameter). The aftershock sweeps a five-kilometer radius, dealing 300%~500% of its Attack Power as damage to the remaining enemies.)]

[Overlord Domain: Immortal Gold and Stone: Forms a Gravity Field within a 5,000-meter radius of itself.

All enemies are subjected to 1x to 100x gravitational pressure. The closer an enemy is to the Stone Giant, the stronger the pressure.

All allied Stone Element and Metal Element units take 40% reduced damage and, every 10 seconds, generate a shield that blocks 30% of incoming damage. This effect lasts until the Stone Giant is defeated.]

[Talent: Heart of Gold and Stone (Immune to all poison, Bleeding, and Mind Control effects), Earth Resonance (While standing on the ground, absorbs the Power of Earth every second to heal injuries, and all Skill Cooldown Times are reduced by 20%.)]

(Note: An ancient Stone Giant, once a Guardian of the Earth Goddess Hall.)

...

!!!

It had appeared—the legendary Overlord-level creature.

Shen Xing’s eyes widened slightly.

’I knew this final boss would be terrifying, but aren’t you a little overkill?’

After all, this was an Overlord.

True to their name, any one of these creatures was a regional Overlord, a being capable of commanding vast armies. They were countless tiers above a mere Leader.

Even Master-level Lords would have a hard time cultivating a Soldier Type with this much Potential.

’To think I’d actually run into an Overlord-level creature, and a boss at that. Good thing I came fully prepared.’

After a moment of reflection, Shen Xing’s voice dropped. "Hellish Roar, begin."

"Yes, Lord!"

The towering Beastman at the front waved a large hand, and hundreds of Green-skinned Orcs immediately raised their Stone Axes and charged the Golden Stone Giant.

They let out ferocious roars, their thick legs carrying them in a wild sprint, as if they had no concept of fear.

The scene was like a colony of ants charging a Giant Dragon—tragic, yet resolute.

But the Golden Stone Giant knew no pity.

It glanced at the horde of Green-skinned Orcs charging toward it, and a cold, golden light flashed in its pupils.

Then, it raised its fist—its Golden Right Fist, more than three meters in diameter.

And brought it crashing down!

For a creature of its massive size, its movements weren’t slow at all. In fact, they were absurdly fast.

"WHOOSH—!"

Like a bolt of golden lightning, the massive fist shot out, the terrifying wind pressure it generated causing the very ground to sink.

After all, the monster’s Agility Attribute was over three thousand; there was no way it could be slow.

At the instant the fist was about to land, Hellish Roar stomped his right foot, and an invisible ripple swept out, enveloping all the Beastmen and the Golden Stone Giant.

—Desperate Melee, activated!

"BOOM!!!"

The punch landed, and the earth instantly collapsed, forming a circular crater dozens of meters deep and over a hundred meters in diameter.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the absolute compression of Power.

At the bottom of the crater, at least a hundred Beastmen had been turned into paste.

This was one of the fundamental differences between Tier Three and Tier Two.

Their control over Energy was far more flexible and precise. They could even condense all their power into a single point without any leakage, achieving maximum destructive effect.

For example, given one thousand points of Power.

A Tier Two expert could unleash one thousand points of Attack Power, but a Tier Three expert could unleash two thousand, or even three thousand, points of destructive force from the same amount.

That single blow made the color drain from everyone’s faces.

None of them were confident they could survive such a punch; even the chances of escape seemed slim to none.

However, Shen Xing remained unperturbed.

He could already feel the auras of Hellish Roar and the other three hundred-plus Beastmen skyrocketing.

This was especially true for Hellish Roar, whose Agility Attribute had skyrocketed from over two thousand to more than four thousand—it had more than doubled!
