Chapter 207: Goodbye Skeleton General
(A Boss with countless timelines… those who understand, understand, hahahaha.)
The Man-Eating Flower that crashed into the railing had far less rotational power than ordinary monsters.
Maybe I can use a different angle to attack? But thinking carefully, the sharp branches on both sides are not just for show.
As its massive body turned around—Meteor Arrow, trailing fiery light, struck down on the huge eyeball.
-10129
With weakness + critical hit and the penetrating damage from the Meteor Arrow itself, it directly took away one-eighth of the enemy’s health.
“Turtle Turtle, this damage…” Mo Ran was so shocked his mouth couldn’t close.
Shu Chen didn’t find it too surprising; Fenghua’s equipment was already quite good, and with multiple bonuses, outputting five-digit damage wasn’t impossible. After all, Starry had once dealt even more exaggerated numbers.
After being hit in the eyeball, the Big Blade Flower seemed to enter a state of madness, losing its sense of direction and began attacking wildly at the surrounding environment.
If it were a melee class, it might be quite troublesome.
But the Twilight Ranger could attack from near or far, a rare all-rounder class in online games.
The so-called all-rounder means having some skill in various areas, capable of both ranged and close combat, physical and magical attacks, damage output and healing, all while maintaining control and acceleration.
In contrast, all skills tend to be a bit weaker than those of a dedicated class, typically leading to a situation of underperformance.
People usually jokingly refer to an all-rounder as someone who can do everything = but can’t do anything well.
However, when equipped properly and played skillfully, this problem doesn’t really exist.
Facing the increasingly approaching Man-Eating Flower amidst the chaos, Fenghua showed no fear, her gaze fierce, zeroing in on the gaps in the dry branches.
-2671
One arrow.
-1349
Another arrow.
Once the flower structure closed, it became much harder to aim for weak points, and the subsequent DPS would likely drop by half.
But it didn’t matter much, as the current Man-Eating Flower had already become a live target.
—Once it got close to her, it would end up passing by in close proximity, creating a distance of a stage’s length again.
These movements were like dancing on a tightrope, even one misstep could lead into a bottomless gaping maw. Shu Chen felt scared just watching it. If it were him doing the fighting, he’d definitely go all out.
With 80k health, it was neither a lot nor a little. By the fifth minute, the final arrow completely drained its health.
“Victory with no damage?!?”… Mo Ran’s eyes widened, “Starry beauty, Brother Zanny, look! That’s a level 40 silver boss!”
“I see it…”
The threat of the Big Blade Flower lay in its consuming and relentless blade dance once close; of course, that was under the premise of being in close range.
In front of Fenghua’s exquisite movements and precise archery, it could only curse skywards.
With that, the first battle was already won; just two more to go…
The audience was silent, not a sound for two minutes.
Speaking of which, the monsters around this arena seemed to be fairly weak? They hadn’t seen any monsters above gold grade since they arrived.
“Who would have thought… the Brown Bear could master such exquisite archery skills,” a red-haired lady standing nearby exclaimed.
Shu Chen nodded, “I was surprised as well.”
“Hmm, little guy, didn’t you say you could slay everyone? No one dares challenge the arena master, this is your chance to shine.”
“Of course, a master must make a grand entrance. I’ll go up after she wins four rounds.”
“… The red-haired lady seemed a bit speechless, clearly intending to take advantage when the fifth opponent was in the worst state, yet talking so grandly.
“By the way, miss…”
“My name is Hong Kui.”
“Oh, Hong Kui, I feel like I haven’t seen any… strong characters around this arena?”
“Oh? You noticed?” Hong Kui glanced at him, “Looks like you’re not just a pretty face.”
“Indeed, during my tribe days, the leader called me the pride of my people, goblins regarded me as a hero, and the Illusion Wing Empress called me Big Brother.”
“…” She slightly parted her red lips, momentarily unsure how to respond—was she supposed to insult him as he was on a slope? Chatting happily seemed impossible now! Well, that… was indeed impressive…”
“Right? Actually, without these… Shu Chen was about to say something more when a clatter sounded from the stage.
Turning to look.
A tall Skeleton General climbed onto the arena.
Unlike ordinary skeleton warriors, his back was exceedingly straight, and a black spear was inserted into the ground.
The bones of his upper and lower jaws opened and closed repeatedly, and he surprisingly spoke, “You… make… me… very uncomfortable.”
Fenghua didn’t respond, checking the information!
Skeleton General (Leader Level Boss):
Rarity: Gold Grade
Level: 40
Health: 400,000
Physical Attack: 1357-1689
Physical Defense: 851
Magical Defense: 660
Skills: ???
Description: A former human soldier known for courage and martial skill, retaining fragmented memories after transformation.
“… I can’t believe such a strong monster appeared in just the second match.”
Judging by his words, it was unclear whether his identity as a Twilight Ranger was exposed; it might just be a suspicion, at least the system hadn’t given any alerts yet.
If he didn’t use those skills… this battle would likely be quite difficult.
It wasn’t the first time dealing with the undead.
Similar to before, in Holyflower Village, even the Death Knight had proactively revealed Fenghua’s position.
Without further ado, she drew her bow, aimed at the Skeleton General, and fired an Armor-Piercing Arrow to first blow through its defenses!
…
Mysterious Cave.
Ouch!
The brilliance of the chain attacks illuminated the entire dim cavern, with three high damage amounts bouncing off the boss’s broken body.
-1679
-1580
-1655
Single skill output reached 5k, the swordsman casually swung right, dodging a lethal spell.
Ouch!
Another sharp normal attack slammed into the boss’s back.
-2147
Brother Shiu watched the boss’s health steadily drop from 100% to 76%.
During this period, it had hardly been hit at all.
Good gracious, if everyone had this level of skill, wouldn’t the healers be out of work?
Even Jiangxia and Cute Orange began to use their staves for damage output.
It was simply too thrilling.
The only comforting thing for Brother Shiu was that his damage per second could still slightly outperform the swordsman.
Fire sea + thundercloud dual-output along with constant minor skills allowed his output to even catch up with that of the same-level hidden classes.
51%.
“Be careful, summon preparations, if the pet has control, throw it out too, and the priest should be ready to dispel; at 50% health, the hidden mechanism is likely to trigger,” the swordsman said as he maneuvered behind the boss.
“We should be fine since our health is all full, right?” Brother Shiu asked, puzzled.
“Hard to say.”
The next moment, the boss halted its movement, releasing a strong magical wave, scattering countless magic bolts in all directions.
The swordsman, being closest, was the first to bear the brunt.

…
A barrage of eight magic bolts hit him face-on, dealing nearly 8k damage. Thankfully, Jiangxia and the spectral lightning rabbit managed to heal in time, preventing any casualties.
Meanwhile, the boss’s actions had not ceased; it appeared there was a second wave coming!
“Control it, quick!” The Forgotten Memories urged urgently.
