Chapter 157: Despair, Mortals!

Vampire Set Attribute—Bloody Feast!
Originally, this skill was somewhat lackluster, lasting only 10 seconds and draining at most 1% HP per second, and it could not be cast on bosses of a higher level!
However, that was merely the attribute of the C-rank Vampire Set. After being enhanced and upgraded, this set of vampire gear could truly be called divine equipment.

After the [C-rank Vampire's Claws] were upgraded to A-rank:
[Attribute: Strength +20, causes bleeding effect] became [Attribute: Strength +80, causes triple bleeding effect].

After the [C-rank Vampire's Visage] was upgraded to A-rank:
[Attribute: Constitution +20, fear effect] became [Attribute: Constitution +80, fear effect doubled, range doubled].

After the [C-rank Vampire's Fangs] were upgraded to A-rank:
[Attribute: Strength +20, blood conversion, drains 5% of target's HP (invalid against bosses), replenishes own HP] became [Attribute: Strength +80, drains 15% of target's HP, replenishes own HP].

After the [C-rank Vampire's Cloak] was upgraded to A-rank:
[Attribute: Agility +20, transforms into a black bat, speed doubled, duration 60s] became [Attribute: Agility +80, transforms into a black bat, speed increased eightfold, duration three minutes].

Bloody Feast now lasted for 30 seconds. Once it enveloped the enemy, the enemy would lose 1% to 3% HP per second, and it could even be cast on higher-level bosses!
This was the upgraded A-rank Vampire Set. After putting on this equipment,
Chen Mo's Strength reached 320! Coupled with the S-rank Golden Scale Twin Blades in hand, his Strength reached 420! With Slaughter Mode activated! 840!!
His physical attack reached 8400!

After Chen Mo's body transformed into a pool of blood, he felt a very magical sensation, completely devoid of any discomfort, as if this was the state he was meant to be in. In reality, at the very beginning, humans were indeed just a little tadpole—this exact form without hands and feet.

The Skeleton King was dumbfounded. In its impression, the ability to transform one's body into a mass of blood was already the technique of a top-tier grand boss. How could a mere human possess such a skill?!
Of course, the Skeleton King was not stupid either; it would not stand in place and simply let Chen Mo's Bloody Feast drain its blood!
Roar!
With an angry roar, the Skeleton King tore through the void, teleporting a hundred meters away from the Bloody Feast.

Naturally, Chen Mo did not think a single Bloody Feast could kill the Skeleton King. Terminating the Bloody Feast early, Chen Mo was shrouded in dark red blood, holding the Golden Scale Twin Blades in both hands, his blood-red cloak rustling in the wind, and the vampire mask on his face looking grim and terrifying, giving the impression that Chen Mo ought to be the ultimate boss of this cathedral!
"Little skeleton, the game has just begun. What are you running for?!"
Swish—
Like the vampire cloak! In Slaughter Mode, Chen Mo's Agility had reached an astonishing 400. What concept was this? It meant that without relying on any acceleration skills, a normal step from Chen Mo could reach a speed of 400 meters per second, a velocity exceeding the speed of sound!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mo had arrived behind the Skeleton King. Golden Scale Twin Blades, Cross Slash!
The Skeleton King felt that its royal dignity had been insulted: "Courting death! Proud Bone Smash!"

The Skeleton King raised its four-bladed giant axe high with both hands and smashed it fiercely down toward Chen Mo.
Clang!
Metal collided, and sparks flew in all directions!
The Skeleton King's arm went numb, and its four-bladed giant axe was actually deflected away by the opponent!
The Skeleton King was utterly dumbfounded. This—this foolish mortal's strength was actually greater than its own?! Was this—was this even human?!
Thud thud!
The Golden Scale Twin Blades carved a giant "X" across the Skeleton King's chest!
-16,000 HP!
With a single simple move, the Skeleton King lost sixteen thousand HP!
Roar!! The Skeleton King stamped its feet, blood surging all over its body! It entered a berserk state!
"Mortal! You have completely enraged me! I will cast your soul into the abyss of eternal damnation!!"
Nether Ghost Claws!
The Skeleton King grabbed with both hands, and instantly two skeletal hands detached themselves, turning into translucent ghost states, pouncing toward Chen Mo like two evil fiends from the abyss.

Chen Mo sneered dismissively, wielding the Golden Scale Twin Blades left and right, Annihilation Siphon!
This was a remarkably powerful move Wu Chen had once used, leaving a deep impression on Chen Mo. Previously, Chen Mo's stats were insufficient to cast it, but now Chen Mo's stats far exceeded the requirement!
Gurgle!
To his surprise, the Golden Scale Twin Blades fused into golden liquid, then transformed into two golden rivers that surged forward!
The translucent ghost claws, which previously ignored magic and physical attacks alike, never expected to be entangled the moment they touched the golden rivers. The golden liquid forcibly poured into the ghost claws, instantly turning them into golden ghost claws that turned around and attacked the Skeleton King alongside the golden rivers!
Boom boom!
Two beams of golden liquid slammed heavily into the Skeleton King's chest, and its body was completely entangled by the golden liquid, leaving it unable to move.
"Roar! Roar!!" The Skeleton King was filled with grief and indignation. Its program was on the verge of crashing. Was it the boss here, or was the vampire in front of it the boss? This—this was simply too bullying!

Countless Blood Shadows!
Entangled by the liquid-state Golden Scale Twin Blades and unable to move, the Skeleton King could only shed tears (oh right, skeletons don't have tears) as it watched Chen Mo's blood claws rain down a storm of attacks upon its body.
-15,000 HP!
-15,000 HP!!
Terrifying. In the Great Demon King state, a casual strike from Chen Mo dealt damage in the tens of thousands! And this was even without demonization; if he demonized, Chen Mo estimated his own body might not even be able to handle it! These stats were simply off the charts! Coupled with the heaven-defying stat doubling of Slaughter Mode!

As powerful as the Skeleton King was, it was beaten down into a mere lackey in an instant!
Three Shadow Swords! Z-Slash! Decapitation! Gale Slash!!
Chen Mo completely treated the Skeleton King like a punching bag, beating it relentlessly! Chen Mo even felt that binding the Skeleton King like this was boring, and put away the Golden Scale Twin Blades!
"Too slow!!" Chen Mo wore a look of utter disappointment, shaking his head. He feinted to the left, but his body instantly appeared on the right, plunging a blood claw straight through the Skeleton King's ribcage.
"Left! Behind! Little skeleton! As a boss, I genuinely feel ashamed for you!" Chen Mo mocked as he fought. Fortunately, the Skeleton King had no tears; otherwise, it probably would have been hugging its head and weeping bitterly.

It wasn't entirely fair to call the Skeleton King weak, considering Chen Mo was someone who could fight hundreds of rounds against an SSS-rank Hell Cerberus. A mere Skeleton King simply wasn't enough for Chen Mo to warm up with!
Soon, the Skeleton King had been beaten into autism. It simply stopped casting any skills or making any offensive moves, standing in place with a lifeless expression, waiting for Chen Mo to finish it off.

The Skeleton King's one million HP was down to its final twenty thousand. The pitiful little skeleton almost made Chen Mo feel a bit sympathetic. However, this was not a game; outside, there were still many students and warriors fighting bloody battles, and they could not be allowed to sacrifice themselves in vain. Chen Mo needed to slay the Skeleton King quickly and then destroy the Orb of Destruction suspended in mid-air.
To avoid triggering a global announcement after killing the Skeleton King using the Great Demon King ID—which would instantly reveal Chen Mo's true identity to the entire world—
For the final twenty thousand HP, Chen Mo decided to switch back to the Little Prince.
Tenfold Fire and Thunder!
The Phoenix's Pupils released flames, fusing with the Lightning Spell to blast entirely upon the Skeleton King.
-12,000 HP!
Compared to the Great Demon King, the damage was still a bit weaker. But it didn't matter; the final blow! Little skeleton! Farewell!!
Tenfold Fir—
Before Chen Mo's lightning spell could even be released, a sudden flurry of urgent, rapid guzheng music—*dang-lang-lang, dang-lang-lang, dang-dang-lang-lang*—interrupted his casting. This guzheng music actually caused massive fluctuations in the surrounding magic elements.
Immediately afterward, four brawny men leaped out with a flurry of swishes right in front of Chen Mo, blocking his attack on the Skeleton King!
An excited girl's voice rang out from behind Chen Mo: "Quick! Quick! The boss only has one hit left!"
Boom boom boom!
Ten compressed fireballs, five lightning bolts, and three rock spikes simultaneously struck the Skeleton King's body.
The Skeleton King's body dissolved into countless streams of white light and exploded directly!
Chen Mo's face darkened instantly. He had actually had his boss kill stolen!
