A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

192: People from another world are nothing special (Part 1)”Ni-mou!”

Amidst his shock, Bai Tian saw a mutated Zombie Demon Deer atop the Skeletal Demons Nest let out a long, hair-raising howl.

In an instant, a startling change occurred within the Skeletal Demons Nest; the bones and flesh inside began to writhe, continuously splitting into Vengeful Puppet Monsters filled with deep resentment.

Within moments, hundreds of Vengeful Puppet Monsters emerged from the depths of the Demons Nest, diving into the dark waters and kicking up layers of waves as they charged straight toward Bai Tian.

At this moment, Bai Tian had no time to worry about the Otherworlders; his primary task was to eliminate these monsters and destroy the tianji node.

He quickly cast the ”Extreme Body Strengthening Technique,” adding twenty times the maximum health to himself, his mount, and his pets.

However, [Cold Abyss Blessing] was not suitable for use because if his defense was too high and the monsters’ attacks couldn’t break through it, things would become even more troublesome.

”Leave these small fry to you; I’ll deal with that big guy,” Bai Tian instructed.

Bai Tian instructed Little Dragon Zombie and the Ancestral Return Strange Horse, then flapped his Black and White Mysterious Wings, charging toward the mutated zombie deer with lightning speed.

Sensing Bai Tian’s hostility, the Zombie Deer Boss actually stood up, reaching a height of over four meters, with rotten organs and intestines spilling from its chest cavity in a sickening bloody mess.

The Zombie Deer Boss suddenly shot out like an arrow, taking the initiative to attack Bai Tian.

Without fear, Bai Tian immediately cast [Cold Abyss Shield] to protect himself while simultaneously launching a Cold Abyss Burst at the boss.

Surprisingly, although the frigid energy of the Cold Abyss Burst hit the boss accurately, it showed that the boss was immune to magic, rendering the attack completely ineffective.

Damn!

Even the boss is magic immune? This is too ridiculous!

Immediately after, with a loud bang, the boss’s left front leg, like a divine weapon, shattered the Cold Abyss Shield and struck Bai Tian heavily on the chest.

Bai Tian felt as if his sternum had been crushed; the pain was unbearable, and he fell uncontrollably into the Blackwater Lake below, creating a large splash.

”Ding-dong!”

A system notification rang in Bai Tian’s ears: ”Triggered Heaven Bearing effect, resisting negative resentment poison and continuous stun.”

This boss’s normal attacks actually carried negative status effects and stun; it was truly brutal.

Fortunately, Bai Tian had the God-grade Heaven Bearing, which automatically resisted one negative control effect every 5 seconds.

As for the boss that had severely injured Bai Tian and sent him falling into the Abyss of Blackwater, its left front limb was now completely shattered, turning into a mist of blood.

Bai Tian’s 160x Rebound power was no joke; it had directly blown one of its front legs apart.

Upon closer observation, the boss’s health bar had already decreased by one-fifth.

Bai Tian’s base health was as high as 260,000, which became 5.2 million after the 20x increase.

Yet now, his health had dropped to 4 million; that previous strike must have rebounded 192 million of the boss’s health.

Bai Tian’s expression changed slightly.

This boss’s health had only decreased by one-fifth, meaning its total health was close to 1 billion, which was truly inconceivable.

Being a zombie, the boss likely felt no pain; even after losing its left front leg, it showed no fear, turning into a flash of bloody light as it lunged at Bai Tian.

Since the boss was magic immune, Bai Tian was not foolish enough to use skills again, switching instead to high-frequency normal attacks.

[Damage: -1, -1, -2]!

However, after only three hits, Bai Tian was fiercely struck by the boss again, sent flying over a hundred meters through the black water.

This time, Bai Tian lost 2 million health, rebounding 320 million damage to the boss.

To his shock, the boss’s health instantly recovered to full, and even the shattered left front limb regrew.

This terrifying recovery power was even more startling than Bai Tian’s.

Amidst his shock, a light flashed in Bai Tian’s eyes as if he had realized something.

After restoring his own health to full, Bai Tian skillfully adjusted his position to let the boss hit him during its next fierce attack.

With a loud bang, black water splashed everywhere as Bai Tian was sent flying backward out of the water, shooting straight toward the Skeletal Demons Nest.

Simultaneously, he quickly activated Mana Transformation Wings and applied a 20x Cold Abyss Blessing; his speed was like a flash of lightning, reaching the Skeletal Demons Nest in an instant.

With a crisp sound, the green wave pure lotus splendor in Bai Tian’s hand accurately struck the black gemstone of the tianji node, successfully shattering it.

Meanwhile, the boss that was fiercely lunging at Bai Tian seemed to stall slightly due to this sudden turn of events.

At the same time, all the Vengeful Puppet Monsters fighting fiercely with the Ancestral Return Strange Horse and Little Dragon Zombie suddenly shuddered, letting out shrill screams before exploding with a loud ”bang,” turning into blood mist that quickly merged into the surrounding black water.

Not even the boss was an exception!

The troublesome boss and all the monsters were eliminated in an instant.

—”(Ding-dong)”

”(Congratulations to player—[Brilliant] for successfully destroying the tianji node. Dungeon completion progress has reached 36%!)”

With the boss’s death, it turned into a surge of majestic essence energy, rushing toward Bai Tian.

While absorbing this essence, Bai Tian quickly flew into the air and caught a fist-sized black gemstone.

In fact, the reason Bai Tian could accurately judge that the tianji node was the key lay entirely in his sharp insight during the battle.

First, this boss had a super ridiculous health limit, close to one billion.

Yet his two immortal pets had destroyed two nodes in such a short time.

They would surely have encountered bosses as well.

Although the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and Vajra Demon Ape were strong, they wouldn’t have the ability to end a battle in such a short time when facing a boss with nearly 1 billion health.

Second, when Bai Tian attacked the boss with normal attacks, he found that although he couldn’t break its defense, not a single ”MISS” appeared.

This proved that the boss’s level and realm weren’t much higher than his own, combined with its abnormal health recovery.

It immediately made Bai Tian realize that the tianji node might be the key to defeating it.

As Bai Tian expected, after the node was destroyed, the boss and all the Vengeful Puppet Monsters were instantly wiped out.

After absorbing the essence released upon the boss’s death, Bai Tian’s health immediately increased by 2,000 points, his magic attack rose by 191 points, and his dual defenses increased by 80 points.

Then he looked at the black gemstone dropped by the boss.

[Low-grade 4-star Spirit Crystal]! (It contains a certain quality of spiritual power and is a good resource for cultivators to strengthen themselves.)

As expected of a boss, the Spirit Crystal it dropped was far beyond what common mobs could provide.

Bai Tian took a deep breath and absorbed the Spirit Crystal into his body, and a surge of spiritual power, thicker and of higher quality than usual, immediately flooded into him.

As the Spirit Crystal vanished, Bai Tian gained another 2,000 points of health, along with over a hundred points of magic attack and dozens of points of defense enhancement.

Following the principle that ”even the smallest fly is still meat,” Bai Tian did not hesitate to pick up and absorb all the starless low-grade Spirit Crystals dropped by the Vengeful Puppet Monsters.
