Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 78 A Rock-Steady Dungeon Strategy (Supplement 14)

"What? The shipment has been completed?"

Cai Cai immediately turned her head to look at her.

Getting a good item in Star Abyss is extremely rare. So much so that we finally got our first Ability Crystal after more than two hours in the dungeon, which is quite rare.

Therefore, the moment when you complete the BOSS battle and are guaranteed to get a BOSS-level ability crystal is the most exciting moment for many players. Unfortunately, even BOSS-level ability crystals sometimes only yield some junk like experience points and star coins.

"Ok!"

I nodded, opened the interdimensional storage space, took out the superpower crystal, and opened it!
Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [Special Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Modified SMC Submachine Gun] (Quality: Blue)!

……

"I go?"

This time, even I was surprised.

A mere elite monster dropped a blue submachine gun from its ability crystal?
He hurriedly retrieved the new submachine gun from his interdimensional storage space. It glowed with a blue light, and after a brief glance, its attributes appeared—

[Modified SMC Submachine Gun] (Quality: Blue)
Rank: Second Tier

Basic parameters: Firepower 160-180, Rate of fire 700 rounds/minute, Magazine capacity 40 rounds, Attack range 110 meters

Strength: +20
Weight: 3.3KG
Blessing: Continuous firing; attack damage increased by 15% during continuous firing.
……

Wow, a Tier 2 blue submachine gun!

I didn't try to hide it, so Cai Cai, Zhang Ruolin, and others could see it too.

"Damn, what kind of luck is this?"

Cai Cai felt a little unreal, and even began to doubt her own life: "Why don't I have this kind of luck?"

"call……"

I took a deep breath. This SMC is good, but it's still inferior to my Howler. It has a certain gap in firepower, rate of fire, and magazine capacity, so I definitely won't replace it.

"Um, Brother Han..."

Cai Cai is a firepower specialist and has the highest demand for top-tier submachine guns. He is extremely eager to acquire one, and his eyes are fixed on the SMC as if he were possessed. Even when I try to move the SMC left, right, up, or down, his gaze unconsciously follows it.

"Should we consider playing SMC this time, bro...?"

His voice was almost pleading.

I smiled and said, "You provided the dungeon crystals. Although I got this gun from a drop, since you want it, I can consider transferring it to you."

"Row!"

Cai Cai said, "Currently, Tier 2 blue guns are in short supply, and they're practically priceless on the black market. However, similar blue guns on the dark web are priced around 120,000. I'll try to scrape together the money; I'm sure I can. If all else fails, I'll write you an IOU. I can use this gun for now, okay..."

"Need not."

I shook my head: "I'll sell you this gun for 1.6. Do you think that price is acceptable?"

"Yes, yes!"

Cai Cai nodded repeatedly and took out three stacks of star coins from her interdimensional storage space: "This is ten thousand... Kotoha, can you lend me six thousand?"

"Oh……"

The Garden of Words also took out six thousand.

"I'll pay it back as soon as possible, and I'll add a thousand in interest and treat you to hot pot!"

"You said so!"

The Garden of Words nodded with a smile.

So, Cai Cai handed me 16,000 Star Coins, and I gave him this blue Tier 2 SMC. Cai Cai was overjoyed. He had the gun damage bonus of the Gunner class, and with this gun, his close-range firepower might not be much inferior to mine.

As for why this gun is priced at 1.6, it's simple: with this 1.6, I can pay back the money I owe Lin Qingying. I always feel uncomfortable owing money to women.

……

Around 11 a.m., we finally cleared the church corridors, gardens and other areas, and then our group arrived at the hall, where we were immediately greeted by a dense swarm of monsters.

The final chapter of the Bone Choir: The Battle of the Choirs!

This choir consists of 30+ monsters, including 20+ skeleton musicians and 10+ sonic ghosts. In addition, the BOSS stands on the high platform in the center. She is a woman wearing a blood-red dress. She is eight feet tall and has an eight-foot waist. Her hair is disheveled, she is ugly and full of ferocity. She is the final BOSS of this dungeon!

Where your gaze falls, the BOSS's attributes appear—

【Crimson Singer】(Blue BOSS)

Rating: 35
Attack: 450-750
Defense: 120
Qi and blood: 50000
Skills: [Piercing Demonic Sound lv7] [Blasphemy Scale lv7] [Grand Chorus lv7]

Details: The Crimson Chanter, a monster hidden in the choir hall, turned the entire church into a purgatory with three blasphemous musical scores. Only by destroying the three blasphemous musical scores can she be completely destroyed!
……

"Let's talk about how to play first."

I plopped down on the steps outside the hall and said, "We can't fight an unprepared battle. Besides, the scale of the final battle in this instance is really scary. We might suffer losses if we're not careful. It wouldn't be good if any of us died!"

"Ok!"

Nana, Kotoba no Niwa, and the others nodded emphatically.

"Brother Han, you're an expert, you take charge of the deployment."

"Row!"

I didn't mince words: "There are just too many mobs. Shooting them down slowly in a regular fight would be too slow. My suggestion is to use grenades. Throw in a dozen or so grenades first to clear out most of the mobs before entering. Also, don't rush to kill the boss. There are three Desecrated Music Scores in front of the Crimson Chanter. I've checked them. These three Desecrated Music Scores all have resilience bars, but they are surrounded by protective shields, so it seems like they can't be attacked directly. In short, everyone should act according to the situation. Destroy the three Desecrated Music Scores first, and then deal with the boss. Listening to the dungeon description is definitely the right thing to do!"

"Okay, I've learned it!"

Cai Cai nodded and said, "You'll be in charge on-site in a bit."

"Ah."

I pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me how many grenades we have left, and I'll allocate them to different areas."

“I have four,” Ruolin said first.

“I have four too,” Cai Cai said.

The Garden of Words states that there are only three, because they are not frequently used, and even fewer can be flown nationwide, with only two grenades.

So I assigned the throwing positions. It was more suitable for me to throw from the farthest position, since I could throw accurately. As for the consumption, five would be fine, and I would keep half for myself!
"Alright, get ready!" Several people stood outside the window and arranged the grenades in rows on the windowsill.

"Start, pull out the pin, and throw!"

Before I could finish speaking, I immediately pulled the pins and threw grenades in quick succession, skillfully and accurately sending all five of my grenades into the hall almost instantly. The others threw fewer grenades and finished theirs much earlier.

"Woo~~~"

Inside the hall, a group of monsters suddenly turned around to look at us, while grenades rolled wildly at their feet.

"Get down!"

The moment everyone ducked down, a series of loud bangs echoed through the hall!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

Although the explosive grenade wasn't particularly powerful, it was more than enough to blast these elite monsters, reducing them to near-death almost instantly!

"Charge in and harvest!"

The next second, I rushed in with my submachine gun and started firing in bursts, taking down low-health monsters in two or three shots each. Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others behind me also rushed in and opened fire!
"You heretics!"

On the stage, the blood-red chanter roared and quickly turned the musical pieces in front of him. Instantly, piano key-like objects appeared under his feet. With the sliding of his fingertips, waves of sound impacted in all directions!

"Be careful to avoid!"

I used a step-slash to leave my original position, just barely avoiding a sonic attack.

Everyone was taken aback at first, but then they understood.

The BOSS's attacks will create a pre-defined area icon, and the attack will come crashing down after 0.5-1 seconds, giving players some time to react. As long as you react quickly enough and use your movement skills well, it is not impossible to kill the BOSS without taking any damage.

However, if you react slowly or panic, you could be killed in a matter of seconds!
"Da da da~~~"

As soon as the BOSS finished its attack, I unleashed a burst of bullets upwards onto the head of the Blood Singer. Her head trembled violently as bullets shot out from the back of her head. Unfortunately, she was surrounded by a shield formed by strands of musical notes, so the headshot damage to the Blood Singer was extremely low!

"126!"

"105!"

"34!"

"114!"

……

The damage to Cai Cai and the others was also quite bad. In the blink of an eye, the second and third waves of the BOSS's attacks came crashing down. Everyone started to run for their lives and gradually panicked.

"Heretics should all go to hell!"

The blood-red chanter raised his palms, as if raising both hands high, and the music in front of him began to flip continuously, revealing a page of blood-red sheet music with a "whoosh," and then the earth trembled!

[Please note that the Crimson Chanter (blue boss) has activated the skill "Desecrating Melody" (LV7)!]

The earth beneath my feet trembled violently.

The dense array of impact warnings left me with very little safe space!

Explosive Charge!

Lock down the safe zone and immediately engage the assault!

At the same time, looking back, we found that when the BOSS activated the Blasphemy Symphony, the protective shield around that page of the Crimson Symphony disintegrated on its own, and it was already in an attackable state!

"Be careful!"

After giving my instructions, I ignored everyone else, turned around, aimed at the Blasphemy Symphony, and unleashed more than 20 bullets in just 2 seconds!
"Bang~~~"

With a deafening roar, a page of blasphemous music shattered on the spot!
"Holy crap, awesome..."

Cai Cai couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. His reaction speed was even slower, and by the time he started aiming, the resilience bar of the Blasphemy Melody had already reached its limit!

"Be careful!"

I looked at Zhang Ruolin, whose health bar had dropped to 67%, and she used an adrenaline to save her life!
……

"You audacious thugs!"

The BOSS chanted again: "I will make you suffer the punishment of the gods!"

Once again, the blasphemous symphony begins!

I quickly retreated several steps, then charged into the narrow safe zone with a step-slash, turned around and fired a burst of bullets. This time, with experience, I was even faster, directly blasting the second page of the blasphemous symphony to smithereens!

"Depend on……"

Cai Cai was dumbfounded; his speed was still a little too slow.

Half a minute later, the third page of the blasphemous symphony was reduced to rubble!

At this point, the BOSS was no longer able to activate the Blasphemy Melody skill, and the protective melody around him had also weakened considerably.

"Focus fire on the boss and take her down!"

With everyone going all out, the Crimson Singer's health bar had already dropped below 20% in the blink of an eye. With me and Cai Cai as the two heavy firepower, it would be a miracle if she could hold on.

"Now! Start the chorus and crush these heretics!"

The blood-red chanters roared in fury, but there was only a pile of corpses on the ground, making it impossible for them to sing in unison.

Goodbye!

With the violent impact of the burst charge, a dizzying pattern spun above the Blood Singer's head. The next moment, I took away the last of his health bars with a combo of Heavenly Craftsmanship + normal attack + Dragon Blade + normal attack + Blood Drain Frenzy!
"Crack!"

The Legion's Blade swept across, and a huge head rolled off, spurting blood everywhere!
