Chapter 20 Global Spectator Viewing!
Chapter 20 Global Spectator Viewing!
Seeing that she had memorized all the mechanisms, Lin Ye smiled.
He quickly took out a bottle of potion that glowed with a crimson light from his backpack and handed it to Su Qingyue.
[Potion: Flame Barrier]
[Effect: After use, grants immunity to all burning debuffs for 3 turns, and reduces fire damage by 80%]
Su Qingyue stared at the bottle of medicine, then froze and quickly waved her hand to decline.
"No, no! This is your life-saving medicine, I can't take it!"
"You're in the front line, you're responsible for tanking the boss's damage, you need this more than I do!"
Lin Ye shoved the medicine directly into her hand, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
"Take it."
"My deck has Corruption and Barrier, which can stack permanent block. The BOSS can't break my defense at all. Burning is no threat to me at all."
"But you're different. You have low health, and even with just a few stacks of burning, your health will drop very quickly. Giving you this potion is like giving you double insurance."
"If used at a critical moment, it can directly grant immunity to burning for 3 rounds. Even if something unexpected happens, you will definitely not die suddenly."
He paused, then added with a smile, instantly easing the last trace of tension in Su Qingyue's heart.
"Don't worry, with me here, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."
"We not only have to defeat this boss, but also get the world's first kill, and complete the game without taking any damage."
Su Qingyue gripped the Flame Barrier Potion tightly in her hand, feeling a warm glow in her heart. All the tension and anxiety she had felt earlier vanished instantly.
She looked up at Lin Ye's calm and resolute eyes, feeling a sense of security, and nodded heavily, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
"I'll fight exactly as you tell me to! There won't be a single mistake!"
Meanwhile, the world chat was still filled with despair and a sense of resignation.
Unbeknownst to everyone, while all the players on the server thought the Six Fire Souls was an unsolvable dead end, Lin Ye had already thoroughly analyzed all the mechanics of this BOSS and made all the necessary preparations to clear the level.
A boss battle that will shock the entire server is about to begin.
[WARNING: You are about to enter the first level boss room. Once inside, you cannot exit until you defeat the boss or die!]
[Confirm entry?]
A cold system notification popped up in front of the two of them. Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ye clicked "confirm".
Su Qingyue took a deep breath, gripped the card in her hand tightly, and followed closely behind Lin Ye as she stepped through the scarlet stone door.
The heavy stone door slammed shut behind them, and a wave of intense heat swept over them instantly.
In the lava pool at the center of the room, a humanoid ghost formed from flames slowly rose, surrounded by six leaping hellfires, with scorching sparks flying with every breath.
[Guardian Boss: Six-Fire Undead (HP 180/180)]
The battle is about to begin!
Just as the BOSS's health bar refreshed, a brand new system notification sound simultaneously struck the minds of 70 billion players worldwide.
[Global spectator channel is now open! Players Lin Ye and Su Qingyue are challenging the first level's boss, Six Fire Souls. Current spectator count: 127 million!]
The moment that notification sound came down, the previously lifeless world channel exploded!
"Holy crap?! Lin Ye and Su Qingyue went to fight a boss?! They actually dared to go in?"
"Quick! Go watch this! I want to see if these two veterans with countless first kills can break this death curse!"
"I bet they won't survive three rounds! The Dawn Guild's entire twenty-member team was wiped out, and these two? Pure suicide missions!"
"Stop being so sour! They must have something going for them to get so many first kills! Let's wait and see!"
"The number of viewers has skyrocketed! It's already surpassed ten million! The entire server is watching!"
In just over ten seconds, the number of viewers skyrocketed from 127 million to 1.2 million, and it's still rising rapidly.
Billions of players across the server flooded into the spectator channel, intently watching the battle.
Everyone wanted to know if these two players, who had created miracles along the way, could defeat this seemingly invincible boss in the eyes of the entire server.
[Battle begins! Round one, your turn!]
As the cold system notification faded, Six Fire Souls let out a deafening roar, triggering its passive effect right at the start of the battle.
[The Six-Fire Souls have triggered the passive skill [Hellfire]! Lin Ye and Su Qingyue have gained 2 stacks of the Burning debuff!]
The scorching flames instantly engulfed their bodies, and a message popped up on their health bars indicating that they were continuously losing health.
The spectator channel instantly erupted in chaos.
"Holy crap! They've got a burning debuff right at the start? How are we supposed to fight like this?"
"Damn it! I lost health at the very beginning, and then a Flame Impact in the second round will stack eight layers of burning, and my health will be gone in no time!"
"I told you they wouldn't survive three rounds! They're at a disadvantage right from the start!"
Su Qingyue's heart skipped a beat when she saw the burning debuff on her body, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye remained unusually calm, without even frowning, and gave a clear and concise instruction without any hesitation.
"Qingyue, this round, give up all your damage output, don't play a single card that stacks poison."
"First, play two defensive cards to stack up the block effect, then use [Neutralize] to remove the burning debuff from both of us."
"You don't need to do anything else, understand?"
"Understood!" Su Qingyue nodded immediately without hesitation and followed Lin Ye's instructions strictly.
She raised her hand and cast two [Basic Defense+] spells, which, thanks to the [Sturdy] enchantment, steadily stacked up to 14 points of block.
Immediately afterwards, she used [Neutralize], and the dark green venom instantly dispelled the flames on the two people, clearing away the two layers of burning debuff.
The burning debuff has been removed from Lin Ye and Su Qingyue!
After doing all this, she immediately retreated behind Lin Ye, clutching the remaining cards tightly in her hand, ready for battle.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye had already begun his textbook-level maneuver.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and played the upgraded core divine card—[Corruption+]!
[Card effect triggered: Corruption+! All your skill cards cost 0 for this battle! Lose 1 Health at the start of each turn! Gain 2 Power at the start of the game!]
The crimson light instantly merged into Lin Ye's body, and the scorching power spread throughout his body along his blood vessels, instantly raising his basic strength to 7 points!
Immediately afterwards, he played his second core card for 0 mana – [Barrier]!
[Card effect triggered: Barrier! The block you gain this turn will be permanently retained and will not be cleared at the end of the turn!]
Then comes the perpetual cycle of armor stacking!
The zero-cost [Unyielding] cards were played one after another, and [Harden] and [Shrug Ignore] cards were thrown out of the hand like crazy. The block value above Lin Ye's head was rising at a terrifying speed!
