Introduction: The queen of the ancient giant race, she became a forerunner of the undead legion after succumbing to the temptation of power. She possesses unparalleled strength, and it is rumored that she can cut Dragonbone Mountain Range in half in one strike.

……

Everyone looked flabbergasted when they saw the stat screen I shared in the party channel—

Tiger Leopard Knight: "Holy shit, the boss has almost 80k max Attack! Thank goodness we have Lu Chen, or how else were we going to tank her?"

Moonlight Stone: "I don’t know, even Lu Chen will have a hard time against this…"

Beiming Xue: "Careful, big bro. Don’t let it instakill you…"

Me: "Priests, watch the healing! I’m going!"

……

I raised my hand and used an Undying Berserker Card to buff my max HP by 100%, Attack by 45%, and resurrection chance by 25%. The resurrection effect was useless because resurrection was forbidden in the Chaotic Regions, but the first two effects were already pretty good. Right after that, I shouted, "Heaven’s Rain, lock onto my coordinates and bring 2000 players! We have a boss!"

Heaven’s Rain replied quickly, "Got it. We’ll be there in 20 minutes!"

When I looked up, I noticed that the boss was already raising her sword. She glared at me with anger as she said, "You will stop the giants’ march even now, feeble, ant-like humans? Become the dust beneath my boots and die! It is the only way for your race!"

The boss was too close. She actually had aggroed onto us first.

Shatter Queen Lin Qian raised both her arms and surrounded herself in a column of golden light. It was the skill "Sovereign Arrival", and its effects were heartbreaking to say the least—

Attack +20%!

Defense +20%!

Crit Rate +10%!

Motherfucker! A buff skill? We haven’t even traded blows yet, and the boss was already buffing herself? Shameless! Utterly shameless!

But it wasn’t over yet. Next, Shatter Queen Lin Qian clasped her hands together to use the skill "Frosty Night Prayer”. Another three lines appeared beside her feet in rapid succession—

HP regeneration speed +50%!

MP regeneration speed +50%!

Blessing is successful! Unit cannot be critically hit!

……

Some distance away, Tiger Leopard Knight turned as green as vomit. "Oh my fucking god! HP regeneration speed +50% and immunity to critical hits? This long-legged goddess is about to defy the heavens! How the fuck are we going to beat her?"

No time to waste. While Tiger Leopard Knight was talking, I had already locked my sights on the boss and activated Thunderous Charge!

Swhoosh!

I zipped across the ground and arrived next to Shatter Queen Lin Qian’s left foot. When I looked up, I saw that she was wearing black, not that I cared in the slightest considering the dire situation. I pressed my palm against the boss's leg and used God Binding Art!

MISS!

It missed. It was within expectations however.

Surprisingly, Shatter Queen Lin Qian was unusually angered by my action. The second she finished her buffing action, she immediately brought her sword down on me with the strength of mountains. She roared, "Die! No one gets to sneak a peek at my underwear and live!"

"No one’s interested in you, you psycho…" I retorted while bringing my sword and shield to bear.

However, Unrelenting Shatter turned out to be an unparriable skill. The boss was able to score three full-powered blows on my shield, my shoulder armor and my chest, and for a second I thought I was going to be ground into paste. The boss's Attack was just too high, and the damage numbers that floated above my head scared the shit out of me—

632998!

712662!

690211!

I made a fist and healed myself for 25% HP with Tenacity of the Dead. At the same time, I shouted, "What the fuck, stop staring at me and heal me already, priests!! Mages, use Touch of the Dragonkiss and Ice Arrow! Archers, use Shock Arrow and Spiraling Arrow Blade [1]! Beiming, lower the boss's Defense with me!"

The Dragonlight Archers’ arrows struck true, but they only managed to deal three-digit damage. Worse, the blasts of wind whipped Shatter Queen Lin Qian’s skirt into the air and revealed her black undies for all to see. No one here was hardcore enough to admire it, and I even closed my eyes for fear of being blinded by the terrible sight. I stabbed forward and used Purple Frost Concentration!

The boss's Defense dropped by 24%, and together with Beiming Xue’s Bone Eroding Arrow that was -27.9% Defense in total. It was then that our Dragonlight Archers were finally able to pierce her Defense. It would’ve been too shameful otherwise.

Bang bang bang...

The boss smacked me around with mountain-crushing strength, but I had 100 priests to heal me. Even considering her devastating power, my HP mostly maintained above the 75% mark. As long as Shatter Queen Lin Qian didn’t crit with Unrelenting Shatter, she shouldn’t be able to kill me.

Chiang chiang chiang...

You would think that my Chill of the Nine Provinces would cut the boss's milky flesh into bloody ribbons, but no, it bounced away with metallic sparks instead. It was like trying to hack down a literal mountain. Truly, it took a special kind of person to accept the love of a woman of the giant race! I personally couldn’t accept a woman whose legs could literally give me calluses!

……

It looked like things were about to stabilize, but the boss's AI proved to be smarter than that. Every 30 seconds or so, Shatter Queen Lin Qian would ignore the aggro table, charge toward a random group of people and roar, "Give me your lives, children!"

Boom!

Her giant sword hit the ground, and the dozen or so Dragonlight Cavalrymen she targeted lost over a million HP instantly. Bad enough that those who were critted were one-shot, the boss's attack dealt splash damage as well. Tiger Leopard Knight hurriedly reined in his Dragonscale Beast and barked, "Back up! Back up so that Lu Chen can retake the aggro! The rest of us is just going to be one-shot!"

My Burning Blade Slash hit the boss just in time to retake the aggro, but the damage had already been done. It hadn’t even been 5 minutes, but we had lost almost a hundred players to Shatter Queen Lin Qian. Worse, the boss had 500 million HP, and we only managed to drop her HP to 90% so far. What a scam!

That being said, I could hardly voice my complaints and demoralize my own troops. So I let out a hearty laugh and said, "Keep up the good work, everyone! There are only 10 bosses in this entire map, and it’s pure luck we ran into her! Take her out, and she might drop one of the Seventy-two Ghost Armaments or even the Twelve Divine Armaments! Whoever got it will be giving everyone a bonus, so it’s a win-win for everyone, yeah!?"

Everyone laughed in agreement and fought harder.

……

Fifteen minutes later, the boss had dropped to 67% HP. Although we lost a lot of men during this time, our main force was thankfully still intact.

Suddenly, Tiger Leopard Knight galloped over from the perimeter and reported in an angry tone, "Lu Chen, a group of players is coming toward us from the north! I think they’re targeting our boss!"

I thwacked the boss's knee while asking, "Who are they? Where do they hail from?"

"They’re Era of Strife, the second biggest guild in Purple Grape City! I count about 10000 of them, and the guild leader himself, Copper Spear, is here. I think he’s even your old foe?"

"Wonderful…"

The corners of my lips curled up maliciously. "It so happens that Heaven’s Rain 2000 men have just arrived, so their timing cannot be any more perfect. Tiger Leopard Knight, take 200 Dragonlight Cavalrymen with you and stall them for a bit. Don’t try to block their way directly, just harass them from time to time and ensure that you have ample room to retreat. Lure their forces to the corroded ground to the east of the boss. I’ll join you to fuck them up after I’ve passed the boss over to someone!"

"Understood!"

……

A few minutes later, Heaven’s Rain arrived with two thousand men. The large majority of them were Dragonlight Cavalry as a matter of course. She called out to me, "We’re here, vice leader big bro! Should we take over the boss now?"

I nodded. "The boss has insane Attack, so you’ll need to tank her yourself. Activate Knight General and buff yourself with the best HP-buffing card you have. I’m going to be gone for ten minutes, so forget about DPS and just focus on survival. Also, I’m going to borrow 1000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen from you to deal with Copper Spear. Lil Beiming, you stay here and help. Use Freezing Arrows and Shock Arrows to delay the boss as much as possible. If you guys exceed my expectations and somehow bring the boss to red while I’m gone, do NOT kill the boss just yet. Wait until I come back to score the last hit, okay? My Luck will net us more equipment, and you’ll like the bonus I’ll be paying you!"

"Got it, vice leader big bro. Be careful!"

I gave her a nod and selected my 1000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen as quickly as possible. Then, I ordered, "Let’s go! Time to teach Era of Strife a lesson!"

Everyone whooped as I made a new party and buffed everyone’s Attack by 200% with Martial God. It was raining, and the sky was dark. Visibility was so poor that it might as well be nighttime even though it was the middle of the day. Luckily, I had Dark Pupils to show me Era of Strife’s every movement on the map screen. The enemy had split up into three separate forces, so a timely charge should be able to break them apart.

I swept my gaze across the surroundings as I flew up a hill. About 4000 Fire Scale Cavalrymen were chasing after the Dragonlight Cavalry led by Tiger Leopard Knight. The latter was drastically inferior to the former in terms of numbers, so they could only retreat again and again.

"Kill!"

I ordered with a laugh. "Kill them all!"

My 1000 Dragonlight Cavalrymen galloped down the slope and cut right through the Fire Scale Cavalry’s "belly." At the forefront of the charge, I raised my sword and reduced everyone’s HP within 1000 yards of me by 50%. Then, I activated Heavenly River Transformation and brought my SSS Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Xuanyuan Slash down on the heart of the enemy’s forces!

BOOM!

The Fire Scale Cavalry were too busy reeling from the sudden 50% drop of their HP to realize that there was a follow-up attack. It was a slaughter.

I didn’t slow my attack rhythm in the slightest, however. Our numbers were ultimately fewer than the enemy’s, so we couldn’t afford to drag this out. In fact, the tables could be flipped in an instant if the Fire Scale Cavalry managed to find a foothold. They were Era of Strife’s ace unit after all, and they obviously hadn’t come to the outer lands to die for naught.

Swhoosh!

I charged straight toward the center of the enemy’s forces and pressed a palm against the ground. Giant columns of draconic energy instantly sent the Fire Scale Cavalry flying all over the place. Fire burned, and smoke rolled toward the air. My 1000 Dragonlight Cavalry was able to run over the Fire Scale Cavalry like they didn’t even exist. Even Tiger Leopard Knight had turned his forces around to join us.

While the battle was coming to a swift end, Tiger Leopard Knight rode up to me and pointed to the northeast. "Copper Spear is chasing after a couple dozen Dragonlight Cavalrymen over there!"

I nodded. "Let’s go!"

……

We rode up a hill once more, and right below a slope was Copper Spear firing a flurry skill at a Dragonlight Cavalry and killing them. His armor was covered in rainwater.

My eyes turned steely. "Tiger Leopard Knight, grab a couple of people and charge Copper Spear. Once he’s stunned, leave it to me to end his life!"

"Got it!"

We raced down the hill. From maximum distance, I fired Burning Blade Slash + Summon the Storm combo at Copper Spear and dropped his HP below 50%. While he was stunned, Tiger Leopard Knight struck him with Charge and stunned him for 1.2 seconds. The second and third Dragonlight Cavalrymen right after to keep him stunned a bit longer, and—

Buzz!

A bloody chain appeared in my hand and penetrated Copper Spear’s body. It was none other than the Chains of Freedom.

I smirked at Copper Spear and said, "You shouldn’t have come here!"

Ashen-faced, Copper Spear stuttered, "S… s…"

I replied humbly, "No need to apologize."

Copper Spear: "SHIT!!!"
