I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 202 The True Temple of Fire, Never Before Settled

Jiang Chen swiftly traversed the garden, venturing deep into the innermost part of the instance.

As he went deeper, the temperature gradually rose, and the air became even hotter.

He muttered to himself, "This hellish difficulty is truly extraordinary."

"Nightmare difficulty requires two support characters, while Hell difficulty requires at least four to five support characters."

"Ordinary teams shouldn't even think about challenging them."

This is a level 32 Hell difficulty dungeon, allowing 12-player parties with a maximum level of 37 to enter. However, even with special gear, the challenge here is extremely difficult for four support classes.

This dungeon is far more difficult than any dungeon Jiang Chen has ever challenged before.

The continuous fire burns are a major headache for all professions.

Jiang Chen finally reached the deepest part of the instance.

After more than three hours of fighting, his skeleton mages were nearing their limit.

"This battle must end within 10 minutes!"

Jiang Chen calculated the time; if he didn't want the skeleton mages to die of exhaustion here, he had to end the battle within 10 minutes.

Deep inside the instance, he saw a massive lava waterfall.

Here, the giant eye of fire hangs high above. This is the same giant eye of fire that once appeared outside the palace.

It flew in from outside the palace and landed at the top of the waterfall.

The entire lava waterfall roared, boulders tumbled down, the waterfall stopped flowing, and the mountains changed shape.

Before Jiang Chen, the mountain seemed to have transformed into a giant, with the fiery giant eye becoming its eye.

This is a gigantic cyclops made of solid rock, over twenty meters tall, with magma flowing turbulently over its body.

"Lava Giant (Hell-level Boss)"

"Elemental Archmage (Hell Dungeon Boss)"

"Level: 38"

Strength: 25000

Agility: 10000

"Spirit: 10000"

"Constitution: 25000" "Skills: Deathfire, Lava Ejection, Volcanic Eruption"

"Trait: Immune to fire elemental attacks, greatly enhanced fire elemental power."

The level 38 Hell difficulty boss has a total attribute of 7, which is comparable to the level 39 Elemental Archmage in the third battlefield dungeon.

Its strength and constitution attributes have surpassed those of the skeleton warrior.

Hell Boss!

Jiang Chenwei was slightly surprised.

He also thought that the final leader of the "Fire God Palace" should be a monster named Fire God.

I never expected it to be a lava giant.

Moreover, it seems that the Vulcan Key and Vulcan Flower that he just obtained have no use.

Jiang Chen felt that things were not so simple.

However, this instance had reached its end, and he was certain there were no further paths. He keenly detected the information about the Vulcan Key.

"The Key to Vulcan: The Key to Unlocking the True Temple of Vulcan"

In other words, the Vulcan Palace and the Vulcan Temple are not the same instance.

It can be said that the Vulcan Palace is merely a prerequisite instance for the Vulcan Temple.

Some dungeons have prerequisite quests; you can only enter a dungeon after completing the prerequisite quests.

It seems the real Vulcan Temple is like this.

The instance before us, called the Palace of Vulcan, is merely a prerequisite instance for the real Temple of Vulcan.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen had figured it out.

The lava giant roared, and its massive single eye shot out a beam of fire.

Skill: Death Line!

The fire was incredibly fast; Jiang Chen didn't even have time to react before he was hit.

With a bang, the skeleton armor gleamed, then cracked.

Jiang Chen quickly added a layer of bone armor to himself.

Once inside the instance, the skeletal armor is constantly subjected to the scorching flames, and its strength has been greatly reduced.

In addition, the Lava Giant's Deathfire Line skill is indeed quite powerful, and the Bone Armor has reached its limit.

"not bad!"

Now that we've reached the final stage of the dungeon, there's no need to hold back anymore.

He needs to finish the fight within 10 minutes, and 3 minutes have already passed, leaving 7 minutes.

With a slight thought, all the remaining skeletons were released in an instant.

A total of 154 skeleton warriors and 72 skeleton mages—it's a truly powerful legion.

Sixteen skeleton warriors were lost, and 28 fire-type skeleton mages were rendered ineffective, slightly impacting the overall combat strength.

Jiang Chen had already adjusted his mindset.

As dungeon levels increase and difficulty rises, the loss of skeletons becomes inevitable.

Moreover, he has always been soloing dungeons that are several levels higher than him, making it even harder to avoid such situations.

Taking a deep breath, the battle began.

The skeleton warriors transformed into balls of flame and rushed to the feet of the lava giant, fearlessly climbing up despite the lava flowing all over its body.

They all unleashed their skills.

The skeleton mage's spell attacks also crashed down like a landslide and a tsunami.

Jiang Chen wasn't idle either. He started with a slowing curse.

Then the Soul Burning technique was used continuously.

He used all the skills he could; there was no other way, he was in a hurry.

The lava giant was cursed, and its speed was noticeably slowed down.

However, it did not attack with its large hands like the previous Gardener Giant.

The death knell in his one-eyed eye never ceased.

The Deathfire Line is very powerful; when it hits a skeleton warrior, it can cause considerable damage.

At the same time, it opened its mouth, and magma churned inside.

Skill: Lava Jet!

Rolling lava spewed from the enormous mouth, turning the sky fiery red, creating the illusion that the lava was about to engulf the instance.

The ejected lava rained down like a storm. The earth roared, the sound was deafening, and it triggered a series of violent explosions.

The skill has a knockback effect, which knocked away a large number of skeleton warriors.

Only the skeleton warriors clinging to its body, enduring the scorching lava, relentlessly attacked it.

Jiang Chen didn't know how strong the lava giant's vitality was; all he could do now was to increase his speed and keep attacking.

His will was also transmitted to the skeleton.

The skeletons all quickened their pace.

The skeleton warriors who had been blown away rushed back without fear of death.

Having learned their lesson, they all became smarter.

They leaped up and jumped directly onto the lava giant.

In the blink of an eye, the lava giant was covered in skeleton warriors. The skeleton warriors fought back, making the lava giant howl in pain.

Jiang Chen's burning soul also caused it unbearable pain.

The deadly fire stopped, and the lava eruptions disappeared.

Jiang Chen realized something was wrong.

The next second, the earth shook violently, like a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Jiang Chen lost his balance and almost fell.

The lava giant was glowing all over, and the lava was flowing several times faster than before.

boom!

Lava shot into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and turned into a rain of fire that fell from the sky.

Skill: Volcanic Eruption!

Countless volcanoes have appeared underground, and they are constantly erupting.

The earth was instantly engulfed in flames. The place where Jiang Chen stood was already covered by lava.

The skeletal armor protected him, keeping him safe from harm.

The skeleton mage also stood in the lava, continuously taking damage.

Jiang Chen became even more anxious, because if this continued, the first 20 skeleton mages would not be able to hold out.

The volcano continues to erupt, and the fire rain grows increasingly dense, as if it will engulf the entire instance.

A torrent of fire rained down on the lava giant, and the violent shockwaves knocked the skeleton warriors off their feet.

Although the slowing curse worked, the lava giant didn't use any normal attacks at all.

It always attacks using skills, and the Slow Curse cannot stop its skills.

The skeleton warriors were taking massive damage while attacking it frantically. The more anxious Jiang Chen became, the more desperate the skeletons became.

Jiang Chen was also using the Soul Burning Technique in his hand without stopping.

Both sides were once again locked in a fierce battle.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The skeleton mage was clearly about to collapse.

The first 20 skeleton mages summoned were covered in cracks and teetered on the brink of destruction.

He could die at any moment.

However, the lava giant seems to be nearing its limit.

It began to weaken.

Even the flame on the one-eyed creature disappeared.

The lava flowing over its body became barely visible, revealing its black rocky form.

The skeleton warrior's blade struck it, shattering the rock into pieces. The soul-burning pain brought it unbearable agony.

Finally, its body began to break down.

Rocks fell down one by one.

"Die!"

Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice.

With a deafening roar, the lava behemoth finally collapsed.

"Slay the Lava Giant..."

After the Lava Giant dies, the exit passage from the instance will appear simultaneously.

Jiang Chen immediately left the instance without even checking the notifications.

This dungeon left him feeling exhausted.
