Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

Zhang Yuan was unlucky, but fortunately, this boss only had mental attacks. So, even if his mental strength was increased by 20 times, or even 200 times, it wouldn't make much difference to him.

Composing himself, Zhang Yuan immediately followed the method he used when tackling Nightmare difficulty to extinguish the candles around the altar.

There were eight candles around the altar this time. Every time Zhang Yuan extinguished one, the Corrupted Abyss Scarecrow would howl twice. The harsh and piercing screams made Zhang Yuan's head go numb.

When Zhang Yuan extinguished the last candle, the Corruption Abyss Scarecrow screamed and writhed, finally exploding with a bang!

boom! ! !

The pitch-black death ray rushed towards Zhang Yuan, but Chi Xiao's passive ability activated again, blocking the scarecrow's death curse.

[Successfully defeated the Corrupted Abyss Scarecrow, experience +40000]

[Obtained the Cursed Bracelet.]

As the kill notification sounded, the annoying scream finally disappeared.

"Phew... It's finally over. Putting aside the physical harm, not everyone can stand the noise pollution."

Zhang Yuan watched the scarecrow turn to ashes and breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could even check his spoils, purple smoke rose from the altar again, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.

"besides?"

Upon seeing the unusual change at the altar, Zhang Yuan immediately retreated, keeping his distance from it.

"A mere level 15 human actually managed to defeat my masterpiece. I can't let you live."

A dark figure rose from the altar, eventually transforming into a demon mage dressed in purple robes, wielding a staff, with horns and sharp fangs on his head.

The hidden boss in this dungeon?

When Zhang Yuan saw the demon mage appear, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately used Abyss Eye on him.

[Target undetected!]

Undetectable?

Upon receiving the response from the Eye of the Abyss, Zhang Yuan's pupils constricted sharply, and a monstrous wave of shock surged through his heart.

His Abyss Eye can detect objects no more than 50 levels higher than his own. Now that he can't detect this demon mage, doesn't that mean the other party is a monster of level 65 or higher?

This is definitely not a boss that should appear in a level 15 dungeon!

Abyss boss!

In that instant, Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered a news article he had seen in the newspaper his grandmother had ordered a while ago.

A vanguard team with an average level of 70 failed to conquer the Abyss dungeon, resulting in the escape of a level 70 Abyss boss, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

Surely I can't be that unlucky...

Zhang Yuan recalled the news and suddenly felt his mouth go dry. He looked at the demon mage in front of him and tentatively asked, "Are you the Abyss boss?"

The demon mage sneered, "That's right, I am Odis, the archmage of spirit from the abyss. I was ordered by the king to infiltrate the Great Xia Empire, turn all the beginner dungeons into the abyss, and wipe out all the geniuses of your human race who have not yet grown up."

"Human boy, blame yourself for being too dazzling. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked being discovered by taking action myself."

Abyss Mage Odis

Upon hearing Odis's words, Zhang Yuan's expression suddenly became subtle: "You're a high-ranking mage specializing in mental magic?"

Odis seemed very proud of his abilities. When Zhang Yuan asked, he proudly said, "Since my birth, I have specialized in mental magic so that I have more ways to torment the souls of you humans."

"Not long ago, an elite team of level 70 from your Great Xia Empire was tortured to death by my mental attack spell. Even now, when I think about the agony of their souls before they died, I still feel incredibly excited!"

"I see……"

Zhang Yuan nodded, and the divine sword Chixiao silently appeared behind Odis, piercing directly through Odis's back!

-2097480!

A terrifying string of numbers appeared above Odis's head, and Odis instantly turned into smoke and dispersed, only to quickly condense again a short distance away.

At this moment, Odis's smile turned into fear. "Impossible! How could you possibly break through my defenses?"

"How much health do you have, you bastard?"

Seeing that Odis's aura showed no signs of weakening, Zhang Yuan once again controlled Chixiao to attack.

Chixiao vanished into thin air and then reappeared behind Odis, successfully launching another sneak attack!

"No, impossible! This is impossible!"

Seeing that he was injured, Odis was almost driven mad. He stared at Zhang Yuan and roared, "How could a level 15 guy like you possibly hurt me? What skills do you have?"

"I will make you my slave!"

Skill: Soul Control!

Energy surged within Odis's staff, and an invisible mental wave swept towards Zhang Yuan.

Chixiao was activated passively, and a red barrier blocked Odis's attack.

At that moment, the smile on Odis's face shifted to Zhang Yuan's face.

"Invalid? Why would it be invalid? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Seeing that her skills were ineffective against Zhang Yuan, Odis completely lost her mind and began frantically throwing skills at Zhang Yuan!

Mental storm!

Soul Flames!

Death curse!

Soul Poison!

Soul Explosion!

Odis used all her skills against Zhang Yuan, throwing all the mental spells that could instantly kill a level 70 professional at Zhang Yuan, who was only level 15, as if they were free.

Zhang Yuan remained unmoved amidst the barrage of mental attacks, continuously using Crimson Sky to launch sneak attacks on Odis.

No matter how much blood Odis has, he can keep stabbing him with his sword until he finally kills him!

"Why? Why? Why are my skills ineffective against you?" Odis roared like a madman, her eyes bloodshot.

'This guy... he really doesn't learn any other spells at all.'

Seeing that Odis only had mental attacks, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, while also feeling lingering fear.

Fortunately, the one who targeted him was an abyss mage specializing in mental magic. If other abyss demons had come, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

After Odis used up all his skills and exhausted most of his mental energy, he gradually calmed down and realized that Zhang Yuan had a divine skill that made him completely immune to mental attacks.

“Zhang Yuan, you are really lucky to have met me, Odis. If it were any other abyss demon who found you, you definitely wouldn’t have survived today.”

After calming down, Odis's tone became extremely cold, and he was no longer hysterical. He said calmly, "I'll let you live a little longer. Once the other abyssal demons break through the blockade, you will surely die."

"Are you trying to run away?"

Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm curious, as a level 70 Abyss Demon, how can you survive in the Abyss after being utterly routed by a level 15 human?"

"you!!!"

Odis's emotions, which had just calmed down, surged again. He forcibly suppressed his anger and gave Zhang Yuan a deep look: "Zhang Yuan, you just wait!"

Zhang Yuan chuckled: "I'll wait and see."

Chixiao pierced Odis's chest, and Odis turned into black smoke and disappeared.
