BXBX NOVEL Chapter 201: The Devourer of All Things, Actually Being Slaughtered!?
The blade kept slicing downward, effortlessly cutting through the chest and abdomen of the Devourer of All Things!
Only then did the white-robed assassin\'s attack cease, but the blade showed no signs of wear.
However...
As the other black hole-like parts of the Devourer of All Things surged forward, attempting to engulf the assassin—
Both the blade and the assassin suddenly vanished into thin air.
At this moment, all the fleeing players finally grasped the situation.
"Could that legendary assassin also be a perfect legend?? Such incredible damage output! Even surpassing Master Greg Millhauser!"
"What terrifying output… but it seems that after this attack, the legend had no choice but to retreat…"
"Should we cover him and try again?"
"But how many strikes can that powerful blade support?"
"This Devourer of All Things has immense life force. It\'s really hard to kill."
...
A renewed desire to pass the trial welled up in the players\' hearts.
After all, if they could live, who would choose to die?
The players weren\'t necessarily convinced that the newly appeared white-robed assassin could kill the Devourer of All Things. Some even doubted as they turned back towards the BOSS—
Was the white-robed legend already spent after that one strike?
But they decided to take a chance!
Yet, just as they turned their steps.
Before they could react, the white-robed assassin reappeared!
This time, he emerged at the left foot of the Devourer of All Things!
An upward slash!
The blade, still as crisp and clear as Flowing Water, and the white-robed assassin\'s movements were equally fluid.
The rainbow shield that had blocked other players\' attacks was now as fragile as thin paper.
In an instant, the black hole-like structure of the Devourer of All Things\' left leg was shredded to pieces!
Then, before the BOSS could react, the white-robed legend vanished once more.
Huh?
The players were stunned.
Could this big shot still deal damage?
Stunned or not, each player was now as fired up as if they had been injected with adrenaline!
It seemed like there was a real chance here!
Who needs Master Greg Millhauser! He\'s just trash!
Clearly, the true benchmark of this BOSS\'s strength was the white-robed legend!
If we follow him, we might actually clear the trial!
After all, the white-robed legend had unleashed two terrifyingly powerful attacks in a row—though visually it seemed like he was merely swinging his blade casually, it must have taken a significant toll.
Now is our chance to assist!
The players were fired up, their fighting spirit soaring!
And then...
They still couldn\'t keep up.
The white-robed legend struck for the fourth time, this time targeting the right hand of the Devourer of All Things.
With a flash of the blade, the BOSS\'s life force visibly weakened, to the point where it could no longer chase the white-robed assassin. Instead, it consolidated its various black holes, twisting them into a smaller version of the Devourer of All Things.
But then, in its weakened state, the BOSS faced even more terrifying consecutive attacks!
The white-robed legend\'s figure kept appearing and disappearing. Each time he appeared, he elegantly and effortlessly drained a significant portion of the Devourer of All Things\' life force!
As for the players... many had already reached the vicinity of the BOSS, but they couldn\'t intervene.
They weren\'t needed! The players could see with their own eyes that the terrifying monster that had previously treated them like children was now as powerless as a child itself!
No matter how furiously it roared and howled, it was all in vain!
Instead, it was being dismembered alive by the white-robed legend.
This was no longer a battle. It was a brutal beating!
Even Greg Millhauser, despite advancing to a perfect legend, had been instantly killed by the Devourer of All Things! The combined efforts of ordinary players couldn\'t even scratch this BOSS.
But in front of this white-robed legend, the Devourer of All Things seemed almost pitiful.
The players felt that the BOSS, despite having evolved intelligence, was facing a nightmare—watching itself being sliced to pieces, bit by bit!
The players watched this scene, swallowing hard. "This is terrifying. Could there be an even higher realm beyond perfect legend??"
"Who is this guy, anyway?? I can\'t even sense the aura typical of a legendary figure from him!"
"What an exaggerated output... Could he be a descendant of the gods?"
...
They could only make wild guesses, as the white-robed legend\'s performance had already surpassed their understanding.
At the same time, the players were afraid to intervene.
They could see clearly that this big shot already had the ability to solo the BOSS. What would they do if they jumped in? Steal damage? Claim credit?
That would be asking for trouble!
Then, under the stunned gazes of the players.
The white-robed legend made his final move. First, he crushed a mysterious golden item, then he drove the blade directly into the Devourer of All Things\' body.
At this point, the once formidable and arrogant entity was greatly weakened.
As the blade pierced its body, it instantly shattered into countless streams of water!
The water splashed everywhere!
At the same time, the water quickly condensed into blades, shredding the black hole-formed monster into countless fragments!
These endless fragments scattered high into the sky.
The sky first turned black...
A strange, eerie scream echoed.
Then, a ringing sound filled everyone\'s ears.
And suddenly, the sky was clear and bright!
[Devourer of All Things has been slain!]
[Devourer of All Things has been slain!]
[Devourer of All Things has been slain!]
The notification echoed in the ears of the players. But whether it was an illusion or not, the message from the Hall of Valor seemed to carry a hint of joy.
Next came a new notification.
[Boss Challenge Data Released — Player: Hidden Information, Damage Contribution: 100%, Support Contribution: 100%.]
[This time…]
...
The players stood there in a daze, hearing the news that the BOSS had been slain, unsure of how to react.
The contrast was too stark!
At first, they had been chased by the Devourer of All Things like dogs, barely surviving thanks to Greg Millhauser\'s water barrier. Even when they thought they had a chance to kill the boss and pass the trial—
It was under Greg Millhauser, the perfect legend\'s leadership, that everyone burned themselves out, giving their all to grasp even a sliver of victory.
Who would have thought that even with such a concentrated effort, the final result was still defeat.
And then, just when the players thought they were awaiting death, the situation changed dramatically.
The white-robed legend appeared and slaughtered the Devourer of All Things as easily as butchering a chicken or a cow.
To put it bluntly, it didn\'t even look like he was fighting a boss. It was more like dealing with a slightly troublesome elite monster!
It was ridiculous!
For the same player status, at best, he should be a low-tier legend. How could he be this powerful?
It wasn\'t until the second notification from the Hall of Valor that clearly stated the white-robed legend had dealt all the damage single-handedly—
That the players woke up from their dream...
It seemed like a fact?
There really was such a fierce individual!
"We actually thought he needed our help..."
"It looks like this extreme trial was designed solely for the white-robed legend. We\'re just extras on the stage... No, not even extras."
"Just what level is that big shot at? Could he possibly have an SSS-tier talent?"
...
Everyone looked ahead with a sense of deep reverence.
As the announcements echoed, the white-robed legend casually grabbed a glowing orb dropped by the Devourer of All Things and then disappeared from everyone\'s sight without a second thought.
This scene made the players inwardly marvel.
Indeed, this was the demeanor of a true powerhouse.
To someone like him, we are mere ants, not even worth a second glance!
Our expressions of awe are just annoying noise to him!
...
In reality, on the other side, Sterl, who had once again used Shadow Stealth to make his exit, silently nodded to himself.
He could faintly hear the other players discussing him.
To put it simply—
Nice to hear! Love to hear it! Keep talking!
Clearly, the effect of his grandstanding this time was perfect.
Sterl felt he had harvested a substantial amount of emotional satisfaction.
Earlier, the white-robed legend Nature was him. This persona was one he had carefully crafted to complement his star power, using the Flowing Water law to fashion the blade!
The main goal was to be cool!
"I might have a knack for fashion design," Sterl mused, stroking his chin.
However, beyond being pleased with his grandstanding, what excited him more was the substantial increase in his combat effectiveness!
After gaining a significant boost in attribute points, Sterl\'s application of the Flowing Water law allowed him to break not just one, but two layers of the Devourer of All Things\' protective aura.
Additionally, Sterl had calculated his energy consumption beforehand. By using Shadow Stealth to traverse different realms repeatedly, he could maintain a no-damage, one-sided assault as long as he had enough stamina potions and Stardust.
Ultimately, this led to the scene the players had witnessed earlier.
The graceful white-robed assassin, with just a sword.
Slaying the BOSS.
The reason Sterl lingered in the shadow world after each attack was that he had enhanced the duration of his Shadow Stealth with Stardust, allowing his stamina pool to regenerate more efficiently.
However, to other players, it appeared as if the white-robed legend was deliberately toying with the boss...
After reviewing the battle, Sterl\'s mood improved even more.
He then opened his panel to check the biggest gain from the recent fight—
The ability he had captured using the Fate Token...
