Lin Tian raised his shield again, and Naga was knocked unconscious once more.
Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn't help but marvel at the power of code.
However, he didn't care about it and once again led the group to charge forward with their swords and start hacking wildly.
Soon, the Naga was killed by the group, leaving behind a pile of scales and a Naga head.
Thus, the first boss of Twilight—the Naga—is dead!
........
Chapter 41 Battle Against the Lich King
Upon seeing Naga's death, everyone cheered joyfully.
After all, this was the first time everyone had actually fought a boss. They had never seen the Ender Dragon before, the Wither was dealt damage by the Iron Golems the whole time, and as for the Follower? Apart from Shinobu Kocho, no one else had ever heard of it.
Ignoring everyone's excitement, Lin Tian put away the Naga scales and head.
When the others saw that Lin Tian had actually put away the creepy head, they looked at him as if he were a monster.
"Xiao Tian, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"
Kanroji Mitsuri looked at Lin Tian with complicated emotions. Even if she liked Lin Tian a lot, she still couldn't accept having such a thing hanging in her house!
Seeing the confused looks in the girls' eyes, Lin Tian understood what they were thinking. "Don't misunderstand. Although I picked up this ornament, I won't hang it on the wall at home. It's just a piece of evidence that we killed the Naga."
"I'll put it in the warehouse later, so don't worry."
Hearing Lin Tian's explanation, the girls breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Lin Tian might suddenly have a whim and want to hang the head on the wall at home as a trophy.
However, since Lin Tian has no such intention, it doesn't matter.
..........
After defeating the Naga, Lin Tian did not hesitate and led the girls to continue walking towards the top of the map.
Above the Naga Courtyard shown on the map is the Lich King's territory!
Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't this a coincidence? We've just become a pair of brothers on the run.
The Lich King: How could you be so selfish! You've already killed the Naga, why do you still want to kill me!
Lin Tian: Your fate is in your own hands, not in the heavens.
In short, Lin Tian had already led the girls toward the Lich Tower.
Before long, everyone saw a towering castle. The castle looked incredibly grand and magnificent, but it also exuded an indescribable sense of vicissitude, as if a once magnificent building had decayed under the erosion of time.
"What a magnificent castle!" Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the Lich Tower.
"Everyone be careful. There are a lot of monsters and monster spawners inside the castle, as well as flying books. Those are all hostile creatures."
"Also, there is a being called the Lich King on the very top floor. Everyone must be extra careful! He is not comparable to the Naga!"
When the Lich King was mentioned, Lin Tian became serious.
"The Lich King has three phases. In the first phase, the Lich King is surrounded by three shields. He will teleport every time we attack and summon two invincible clones. He will also launch explosive fireballs and ender pearls. When the Lich King launches an ender pearl, you can use your sword to deflect it back. As long as the ball hits the Lich King, you can break one of the shields."
"In addition, you can also use splash-type instant healing potions to break the shield."
"Phase Two: Once all these shields are broken, the Lich King will enter Phase Two. In this phase, while launching magic orbs or fireballs, the Lich King will continuously summon zombies around him, up to nine at a time. When his health drops to half, he will use the Vampiric Staff to absorb the health of nearby creatures."
Before the women could say anything, Lin Tian continued, "However, zombies don't go down the stairs. We can use this to our advantage, standing on the stairs to attack the Lich King and his zombie minions."
"As for the final third phase, it is the simplest. In this phase, the Lich King will enter a berserk state and will wield a golden sword to fight us hand-to-hand. We can easily kill him by using an enchanted sword that knocks back his attacks."
After Lin Tian finished speaking, the girls finally had a chance to speak.
"This Lich King sounds a bit abnormal, doesn't he? How can he have so many abilities?" Kanzaki Aoi couldn't help but complain after hearing Lin Tian's words.
"He does have a lot of abilities, but after careful analysis, he's actually not that difficult to defeat." Shinobu Kocho carefully analyzed Lin Tian's words and roughly understood the Lich King's mechanics.
"The key lies in the use of the stairs!" Kanroji Mitsuri was very clever and immediately grasped the point.
“That’s right. As long as we use the stairs properly, we’ll be fine in the first two stages. We might only get some blood sucked.” Lin Tian nodded in agreement with Kanroji Mitsuri’s words.
“In that case, we need to determine who is going to fight the Lich King, since the space on the stairs is limited.” Shinobu Kocho said, looking at Lin Tian.
"I've already decided, I'll bring Kanao this time." Lin Tian had already decided on the person to take this time.
"Huh? Me?" Kanao pointed to herself, clearly not expecting Lin Tian to choose her either.
"Yes, there are still many treasure chests inside this tower. We need your help to collect them. With you here, I am very relieved about Xiaokui's safety."
The girls nodded in agreement. Anyone could go; they would just provide occasional assistance.
Lin Tian chose Kanao for a simple reason: only her sword was enchanted with Undead Slayer V, making it arguably the best sword for the Lich King.
After arranging things for everyone, Lin Tian led Kanao towards the rooftop.
Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji led Aoi Kanzaki to explore the other secondary towers.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, Lin Tian and Kanao successfully reached the rooftop.
Looking up from beside the stairs, an unusually tall skeleton, wearing a purple cloak, holding a scepter, and wearing a golden crown, came into view.
The Lich King looks much like an ordinary skeleton, except that he is taller and has more clothes and equipment, but he exudes an aura of majesty!
While Lin Tian was spying on the Lich King, the Lich King also noticed him and immediately raised his hand to release a cannonball radiating a fiery aura. At the same time, two identical Lich Kings appeared on either side.
"Damn it! Zero frame start, huh! No reaction time!" Seeing the fireball already in front of him, Lin Tian cursed, then was hit by the fireball and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Lich King's attacks are no match for the Naga's, even when he's wearing a full set of enchanted Nether alloy armor.
Kanao steadied him from behind, and Lin Tian took the opportunity to take out an enchanted golden apple and devour it in one bite. He then drew his shield and charged forward, shouting, "Kanao! Use healing potions on it!"
Kanao didn't expect Lin Tian to rush up directly, but after thinking about Lin Tian's plan, she could only follow his instructions and throw the healing potion at the Lich King.
"Come on! I'll take your head!"
...........
Chapter 42 The Disgusting Lich King
Three hours later.
Lin Tian led Kanao back to the bottom of the Lich Tower, and Shinobu and the other two happened to come out as well.
Seeing their somewhat damaged armor and slightly disheveled appearance, they exchanged glances before asking in confusion, "Is the Lich King very strong?"
Hearing Shinobu's question, Lin Tian also broke down a bit and said, "This Lich King is really fucking a monster!"
Then, the two of them recounted what had happened, one after the other.
.........
Three hours ago.
As soon as Lin Tian confronted the Lich King, he took out his shield to defend himself, while Kanao threw out a healing potion, successfully removing one of the shields surrounding the Lich King.
Lin Tian was drawing the attention of the three Lich Kings, and occasionally deflecting the Ender Pearls they shot out, but he never managed to hit the Lich King's main body.
It was thanks to Kanao's help that they were able to remove its shield.
After the Lich King's shields were destroyed, his scepter flashed, transforming from a golden scepter into one radiating a ghostly aura.
It raised its scepter and waved it, and nine zombies immediately surrounded it. The moment the zombies appeared, they pounced on Lin Tian with the speed of zombies.
"What bad luck!"
Lin Tian muttered a complaint and quickly raised his shield, retreating towards the stairs.
After Lin Tian successfully retreated to the stairs, his gaze sharpened. He saw that the Lich King's scepter had transformed back into the golden scepter it had been earlier, and with a wave of his hand, three shields floated around him once more.
"......"
"Is it open?"
"Can you even do that?" Lin Tian stared at the Lich King in shock. "Why can you restore your shield?"
With no other option, the two had to kill all the zombies first, and then repeat the same action.
When the Lich King summoned the zombies again, Lin Tian did not hide on the stairs. Instead, he used his shield to defend against the zombies' attacks and threw splash healing potions at his feet, damaging the surrounding zombies.
However, Lin Tian only brought 5 bottles, and quickly used up 3 of them.
As Lin Tian retreated, he took out his Lower Realm Alloy Sword and began to counterattack.
Soon, Lin Tian had eliminated all the zombies, and the Lich King once again raised the zombie scepter in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, four more zombies appeared.
"You *****!" Lin Tian broke down and started cursing.
"System, did you fucking increase the difficulty?" Lin Tian frantically tried to communicate with the system in his mind, but no response came.
Helpless, Lin Tian looked at Kanao; her potion was running low.
Kanao understood Lin Tian's meaning and took out the Nether Alloy Sword, which was enchanted with the Undead Slayer, to attack the Lich King.
Lin Tian was also drawing the hostility of the five zombies, allowing Kanao to perform better.
Shana successfully reduced the Lich King's health by a third. Before she could continue her attack, the Lich King swung his scepter again, and two more zombies appeared, attacking Shana and giving him some breathing room.
Just as the two were being held back, the Lich King once again took out his golden scepter, waved his hand, and three shields floated around him again. Then, he took out a blood-red scepter and began to absorb the blood of all creatures.
"Holy shit!!!"
Lin Tian roared to the sky, breaking through the defenses once again.
..........
After Lin Tian finished explaining the cause of the matter, the three women's lips twitched, and they looked at the two men with a mixture of pity and heartache.
So it's already a good thing that their armor didn't explode.
At this moment, Lin Tian's expression changed, and he suddenly said with some joy, "Although the Lich King's mechanics have been changed somewhat, the items that drop are also a bit different!"
As he spoke, Lin Tian waved his hand, and a pile of items appeared on the ground in front of him: an Ender Pearl, bones, the Lich King's head, two enchanted gold swords, an enchanted gold breastplate, and an enchanted gold boot...
The most eye-catching thing is a blood-red scepter and a bunch of orbs of light.
"Hmm? I recognize this scepter, but what are these orbs of light?"
Looking at the scepter and the ball of light, Shinobu asked in confusion.
