    The 20th wave hosted not sixty ordinary bulls but a formidable level six boss.


    A monstrosity towering at least five to six yards high, the creature wielded a massive war axe.


    Even yers fighting in other areas felt its overwhelming presence. This kind of boss was not only feared for its attacks; its overwhelming strength was also a tremendous challenge for the tanks.


    If the tanks don’t have adequate defenses, they will often find themselves flung across the battlefield by this giant monster.


    Moreover, the shields these tanks had showed limited defensive power against suchrge weapons.


    Being big equated to increased strength, which isn’t merely power.


    The term strength includes power but extends to properties like increased physical attack strength as well.


    In The Ancient God World, as a general rule, a monster’s size and strength are proportional, unlike in earlier games that designed enormous creatures merely for their aesthetics.


    These giant bosses couldn’t even knock over a yer as small as an ant in those games, but in The Ancient God World, many game mechanics, like breaking defenses, discing, repelling, knocking down, and knocking back, all adhere closely to reality. Although there are some differences, it is considered an active attempt at being realistic.


    This sort of design resulted in the yers detesting monsters of enormous size. Because their strength was so great, the tank’s ability to withstand the attack from suchrge monsters was determined not only by their armor.


    They also had to factor in the strength of the monsters as well. Monsters and yers alike had weak points that if struck, could send them flying.


    Besides, yers were much smaller in size and thus more vulnerable to being knocked back, knocked down, or flung away.


    Upon seeing theserge monsters, those watching the battle couldn’t help but cheer up. The rules stated that the final victor would be decided depending on the number of waves they withstand, so evidently, this boss wave was a crucial turning point.


    Killing the boss would award high-quality loot, whereas failing to do so would yield ordinary loot. Seeing the enormous Minotaur Monster, the mood of the onlookers naturally lifted, as they didn’t believe that the two yers could defeat the boss on their own.


    “War axe in hand; it looks like a melee boss. Seems like luck is on my side. If it were a ranged boss, my chances of winning would have been lower. Now, it’s hard to say.”


    After saying her piece, ming Red Lips activated Blink and appeared amidst the horde.


    Resist Fire Circle!


    As always, dozens of monsters were flung by a circle of me shockwaves, followed by the Dragon Breath Technique.


    Even the enormous boss was forced to retreat two steps by the Resist Fire Circle before the battle officially kicked off.


    Meanwhile, Li Yao was not to be outdone and activated his Bull’s Power.


    Wrapped in a red aura, he quickly deployed his previously unused crossbow.


    The Steel Arrow made a sharp, piercing sound as it burrowed into the boss’s arm. The monster’s massive body rolled under the force of the arrow.


    Boom!


    The boss let out a piercing scream, its mountainous body rolling on the ground caused thunderous rumbling. The bulls along the way were squashed, contorting in blood and struggles on the earth.


    Spectators almost popped their eyeballs at the spectacle. This was extraordinary; what kind of monster was this yer?


    They thought: Are you sure that’s not a cannon, rather than a crossbow?


    Knocking down such a hefty boss was something currently unimaginable and challenging for the yers.


    Although ming Red Lips had brilliantly disyed her power by fending off numerous waves of monsters, her Resist Fire Circle only managed to force the Minotaur to retreat two steps.


    After the boss was knocked down, Li Yao immediately summoned Arrow Rain. The Fire Bird’s breath was also ready for use. Combining these two attacks, all the smaller monsters were cleared out.


    The situation now was that Li Yao and ming Red Lips were once again on the same starting line. Whoever killed the boss first or survived longer would essentially determine the oue of this sh.


    Although the boss battle had just started, the spectators could clearly appreciate the power of the elite sses. Their thoughts drifted to the foreign yer from the morning match.


    Brimming with fervor, they all longed to take up the elite ss quests. In their mind, these tasks were now of utmost urgency.


    They, of course, assumed that Li Yao was on an elite quest; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so formidable.


    Yes, Li Yao was on an elite task, but he’s not like ming Red Lips now.


    ming Red Lips has already obtained some elite abilities, but her profile is still the default.


    Yet Li Yao still has the default profile, without any elite abilities. Of course, if ordinary yers knew about this, they would probably go crazy. The default profile canpete with elites, what if he became an elite?


    Herdsman.Kessler


    Rank: Level Six Junior Boss


    Life: 40000


    Armor: 86


    Resistance: Junior Lightning Resistance, Junior Poison Resistance


    Skills: Mountain Cleaving Strike, Death Vortex, Wild Bull Trample, Death Charge, Vortex Electric Arc, Shining Thunder Strike, Death Poison Explosion.


    A chill ran down Li Yao’s spine seeing the boss’s skills, but his brows quickly rxed.


    The bosses of the Sanctuary are difficult, not because their attributes are particrly erratic.


    What’s difficult is that most bosses in the Sanctuary use abination of close-rangebat and long-range attacks, physical and elemental mixtures.


    To determine whether a boss uses closebat or long-rangebat, magic, or physical power, it’s useful in the Eastern and Western continents, but not in the Sanctuary, home to several neutral races.


    The bosses here have an array ofplex abilities and, after a decade of gamey, the Sanctuary bosses of the neutral factions have been dubbed “cancers”, not knowing how many yers they’ve sent to their graves.


    Over to ming Red Lips, the defeated herdsman’s nose exhaled two white mists, his body slightly tilted forward, his shing golden horn tips pointed directly forward.


    Death Charge!


    The boss’s body, like a colossal train, violently charged towards ming Red


    Lips.


    Watching thebat, a few souls screamed out because ming Red Lips just used the Blink Skill, now it’s definitely in CD mode, basically unable to dodge this attack.


    Plus, it’s a lock-on skill, so even with Blink evasion is difficult, because if the timing is off, dodging in any direction will still be difficult.


    Particrly in this circumstance. It’s already toote to cast any spells now.


    Just as everyone thought ming Red Lips was about to die, the werewolf she transformed into stomped the ground, her body propelling upwards like an arrow.


    She looked incredibly agile, leaping a whole seven meters high.


    And by this time, the herdsman was already charging in front of her. ming Red Lips suddenly stepped on the Minotaur’s forehead and rolled out.


    ming Red Lips somersaulted a few times in mid-air then fell to the ground. Right now she was kneeling on one knee, her front ws already buried in the mud, finally dissipating the intensity of the impact.


    Even Li Yao couldn’t help but cheer, let alone anyone else. The blinding reaction speedbined with a sharply calcted judgment, simply wonderful to the extreme, thrilling to the extreme.


    His charge is locked on, but the premise is it’s on the ground; if she was above him, this technique naturally wouldn’t work.


    The boss charged, ming Red Lips jumped to avoid him; it seemed like many movements, but in reality, everything happened quickly.


    ming Red Lips utilized the passive jump and flexibility of the werewolf to the limit.


    ming Red Lips quickly turned around, two mes appearing in her hands, preparing to spell-bomb the boss who still hadn’t turned his head.


    But her eyes were already on Li Yao, her eyes shone brightly, the fiery gaze of a warrior. You could even see a strong provocation in her eyes.


    Although she didn’t say anything, Li Yao already understood her meaning: “The game’s just started, don’t get killed that easily.”…
