Thick, inky clouds slowly descended, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
Ye Bai stood on a small hill, tilting his head slightly, silently gathering his power.
The cooldown for "Ready to Strike" is 10 seconds, and Skywrath Mage reduces cooldown by 50%, meaning it stacks once every 5 seconds.
It takes 150 seconds, or 2 minutes and 30 seconds, to stack 30 times.
The BOSS behind the clouds didn't keep Ye Bai waiting long, and soon revealed its true form.
The humanoid creature, three meters tall, with bulging muscles all over its body, exudes a sense of power and brings a strong visual impact, with its wings flapping in the air.
Its gray wings were long and sharp, and each flap of them created a whirlwind, making a terrifying sound.
A birdman appeared in front of Ye Bai.
This bird-man cosplaying Lei Zhenzi, also known as the Two-Winged Fallen Angel, yes, you guessed it, he was corrupted by the power of a demon god.
Oh, he still has lines to say. Let's listen to his clichéd opening remarks.
"Mortals, worship me, kneel before me, and you will gain immense power!"
Sure enough, it was an extremely cliché opening.
Ye Bai continued folding the "Ready to Strike" card, casually brushing off the other party.
"So, what is the price?"
"Price? True power requires no price, only a heart that yearns to constantly grow stronger!"
The birdman crossed his two thick arms, looked down at Ye Bai, and said arrogantly,
"The fifth demon I serve... the fifth god, was once the ruler of the Eternal Tower,"
"At least be professional! How could you slip up like that?"
Ye Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes. Birdman had revealed all his trump cards; he was just a lackey of the Fifth Demon God.
His rhetoric might fool a three-year-old, but it won't work on a positive, modern young man like Ye Bai!
I'm not buying it!
Ye Bai was actually quite curious about another question.
The second level of the Eternal Tower is a single-player instance, and each player will encounter different monsters and bosses.
How did the other party find me so accurately?
But the birdman's attitude towards Ye Bai clearly showed that he didn't know Ye Bai was Shura!
In other words...
"They conspired to corrupt the entire dungeon floor. Anyone who enters the second floor during this time will encounter the corrupted BOSS!"
This is the only reasonable explanation!
We need to find a way to purify the second layer.
Ye Bai's gaze toward the birdman gradually turned murderous.
This kind of filth is best chopped into ashes as soon as possible. We offer a complete funeral service from the moment you enter the grave to the moment you are buried!
Ye Bai glanced at the [Ready to Go] level; it was 20 levels, with 10 more to go and 50 seconds remaining.
Birdman saw that Ye Bai was unmoved and understood that verbal promises alone could not sway the other party.
Those who can reach the second level at this time are all geniuses of the human race; their intelligence and emotional intelligence are always on point.
"Mortals, kneel before me, and you will obtain what you seek!"
As he spoke, the birdman stretched out his right arm, and a ball of light appeared in his palm.
"This is an SS-rank hidden class advancement item. Even if you defeat me, you can only get this level of reward at most!"
This thing might be quite tempting to others.
But how should Ye Bai view the SS-level job template?
I won't even look at it!
I have an SSS-level class template, Skywrath Mage. Am I proud? Am I arrogant?
I couldn't be more proud!
Ye Bai continued perfunctorily, "Impressive, impressive."
He even raised his hand and offered a few scattered claps to the other person.
"snort."
The birdman snorted coldly, clearly seeing that Ye Bai was unmoved. He grinned crookedly and said disdainfully,
"You humans have a saying: 'If you don't listen to a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit.'"
Ye Bai suddenly interjected.
"I am under 18 and cannot drink alcohol."
Birdman: ...Is this about alcohol?
"This is called a metaphor, a metaphor, a metaphor, do you understand a metaphor!"
The bird's feathers stood on end in anger, as if it wished it could give the other person a Chinese language tutoring lesson on the spot.
"I'm telling you, if you're unwilling to follow my Lord, you'll suffer the consequences!"
"I will tear you apart, crush you, and even chew every bone in your body!"
The birdman's face darkened with malice as he spoke in a sinister tone.
"Do you know what the most wonderful thing is? In this process, you not only live, but you are also exceptionally clear-headed, able to clearly feel every bit of pain, the cry of every cell! It's so wonderful!"
"I'm so scared."
The stacks were almost full, and Ye Bai was too lazy to even pretend anymore.
He's ready to lay his cards on the table.
Both sides have reached the point of revealing their true intentions, and a major battle is inevitable!
The birdman's eyes could blaze with fire; he swore this was the most infuriating guy he had ever met!
This person shouldn't be a mage at all; they should be a warrior!
It comes with a built-in taunt skill, and the taunting effect is maximized, making people want to skin you alive and devour you!
"It seems that just talking won't do any good; I'll have to make you suffer a bit."
The birdman snorted coldly, flapped its wings, and swooped down, heading straight for Ye Bai!
"etc!"
Ye Bai suddenly interrupted the birdman.
"Actually, there's something I lied to you about just now."
The birdman stopped his charge. In his view, the difference in strength between the two was so great that it was like an ant versus a dragon, and the opponent had no chance of turning the tide.
Listening to the dying words of someone struggling before they die can be quite a pleasure!
Clearly, he didn't understand the principle that "villains die from talking too much," and he was full of arrogance and prejudice towards Ye Bai.
"What have you lied to me about?"
