How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?

Chapter 314: Chapter 163: Mechanic: Unstoppable

’These members of the Celestial Abyss Race are perfect. Hard-headed and unwilling to flee.’

Lin Ye was a little disappointed that he hadn’t received a notification about a new skill or trait from the Taotie mechanic when he instantly killed Chieftain Kargath.

After all, the last few times he’d gained powerful temporary skills had been from killing boss-level units.

He hadn’t gotten one this time. ’Guess my luck can’t always be that good.’

But it didn’t matter. There were still plenty of members of the Eight-armed Race lining up to be killed. He was bound to get another chance.

The power gap was so immense that Lin Ye even had the leisure to check the details of the new mechanic he had just acquired in the middle of the battle.

[Unstoppable (Blue): You are now immune to all action interruptions and stagger effects, whether they are caused by combat collisions, taking enemy attacks, or landing your own attacks on enemy targets.]

[When you actively use a skill, you will enter a 1-second Unstoppable state, granting immunity to all crowd control effects.]

[Note: You~will~all~lose~!]

Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.

The mechanic had two effects: one passive and one active.

The passive effect was just like the "Super Armor" mechanic found in many fighting games.

Now, any hit stun from taking damage, as well as the startup and recovery lag from his own attacks, would be completely gone.

This meant he had become like a boss with permanent Super Armor.

But the second, active effect held even greater strategic value.

He would gain one second of crowd control immunity when using a system skill.

He would be completely immune to everything from mental control to physical restraints like roots and binds!

If used correctly, it was an incredibly rare, god-tier ability.

Lin Ye looked at the horde of Eight-armed Race before him, his gaze hardening.

’Perfect. I’ll test my new ability on you.’

With a thought, Lin Ye dismissed the Gangsha Armor covering his body.

"ROAR!"

A few fearless Eight-armed Race elites seized the opportunity. They surged forward in an instant, their six arms a blur of afterimages as a tempest of fists rained down brutally on Lin Ye’s chest!

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The dull thuds echoed without end.

However, what the Eight-armed Race warriors couldn’t comprehend was that the human before them showed no reaction whatsoever.

Their fists were clearly landing on Lin Ye’s flesh, but it felt as though they were striking an ancient, immovable mountain.

The human’s body didn’t even sway in the slightest.

The sensation completely defied their understanding of both combat and common sense.

It was as if physics... had ceased to exist!

In the instant they stood there, stunned, Lin Ye moved.

The way he wielded the Star-Piercing Spear in his hand suddenly changed.

Breaking Army Form!

It was a spear form he hadn’t used in a long time.

Its movements were wide and sweeping. While incredibly powerful, it left massive openings between the execution and recovery of each move.

In high-intensity combat, the preparation before an attack and the readjustment after required considerable effort.

But now, those worries were a thing of the past.

Lin Ye’s figure shot forward. With a single, powerful thrust, he instantly pierced through the chest of an Eight-armed Race warrior directly in front of him.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he swept the spear’s shaft sideways.

With no pause for recovery, the shaft whistled through the air and crashed heavily into the head of another Eight-armed Race warrior to his left, splattering its brains.

In the next instant, the long spear changed its attack again. It thrust upward, the sharp tip piercing through a third warrior’s jaw and exiting through the top of its skull.

No startup lag. No recovery lag.

Each of Lin Ye’s attacks flowed seamlessly into the next, as fluid as running water.

They were impossibly smooth and executed at maximum speed.

His assault had become a relentless dance of death.

More and more members of the Eight-armed Race surrounded him. Their attacks landed on Lin Ye’s body again and again, yet they couldn’t faze him in the slightest.

Their combat instincts told them that in a group assault like this, they should try to counterattack in the opening after Lin Ye made a move. To their horror, they discovered that no such opening existed.

This human was like a tireless, unstoppable killing machine.

Each of his moves was simple and brutal, yet the unbelievable speed at which they linked together made them flawless.

SQUELCH!

Lin Ye swept his spear. The golden Gang Sha at its tip traced a long arc of light, instantly slicing three Eight-armed Race warriors in half at the waist.

He didn’t even bother to glance at the fallen corpses. His feet never stopped as his spear, moving like a dragon, continued to press forward.

Amidst the black tide of several thousand Eight-armed Race warriors, his figure plowed a path of blood and shredded flesh.

This frenzied slaughter also brought a massive amount of experience points.

At first, the system notification chimed with every single kill. Lin Ye found it annoying, so he changed the setting to only notify him during lulls in the slaughter.

After some time, once Lin Ye had killed every member of the Eight-armed Race within his reach, a notification finally sounded in his mind.

[You have killed 44 members of the Eight-armed Race, including 6 Eight-armed Race Elites.]

[Affected by the Cultivation Technique *Tai Xu Two Principles True Understanding*, your experience multiplier has been set to 180%!]

[Killing higher-level enemies has triggered an additional experience bonus, increasing experience gain by 80%!]

[You have gained a total of 86,321 experience points!]

[Ding! You have leveled up to LV 32!]

[You have gained 2 free attribute points!]

[You have gained 1 skill point.]

A warm current surged from the depths of his Dantian Qi Sea, instantly flowing through his entire body.

The Gang Sha and stamina he had just expended in battle were instantly replenished.

The euphoria of leveling up was fleeting, and Lin Ye’s brow remained furrowed.

The notification he had been waiting for still hadn’t appeared.

The feedback from the Taotie mechanic only mentioned that he had gained attribute points. There was no new skill or racial trait.

His gaze swept over the several hundred members of the Eight-armed Race still stubbornly resisting in the canyon, and a ruthless resolve hardened in Lin Ye’s heart.

’If the odds are low and my luck is bad...’

’...then I’ll just have to kill every last one of them and make up for it with sheer numbers!’
