Chapter 263: Soloing the Advanced Dungeon and Consuming the Root-Strengthening Potion (Catch-up 33)
"Is it actually the Phoenix Descent?!" Su Yu's heart leaped with joy.
Each player, upon upgrading their first passive skill in any elemental path to Master level, unlocks a super powerful skill. However, the skill each player unlocks is different. For example, in the Fire element, some players unlock the large area-of-effect damage spell Inferno Blaze, others unlock the single-target sustained damage spell Eternal Burn, and some even unlock the defensive spell Solar Fusion Shield. According to statistics, there are 17 powerful skills that Fire element players can randomly obtain.
Su Yu's Phoenix Descent is considered one of the best among these 17, being a large-area instant damage spell.
Phoenix Descent (Unique Special Skill): Summons a Phoenix to the target area, dealing massive fire damage to all targets within a 50-meter radius of the Phoenix's landing point. Casting range: 3000 meters. Casting time: 3 seconds. Cooldown: 24 hours.
The damage from Phoenix Descent is terrifying! Even a regular player can use it to instantly kill a large group of monsters of the same level, with a massive radius of 50 meters!
However, this skill has a significant drawback: a 24-hour cooldown.
Despite this, Su Yu is very satisfied with it. Once he reaches the sixth stage and heads to the planet Skrul, he will have a powerful tool for dealing with large groups of enemies.
Returning to the main storyline:
In the main storyline, the princess needs to discuss the next phase of the war plan with her ministers, so Su Yu's next task won't be available for another two hours. During this gap, Su Yu decides to go to the Advanced Dungeon to train and then use the Root-Strengthening Potion.
With his decision made, Su Yu mounts his steed, Tima, and heads north toward the Unicorn Barracks.
...
About ten minutes later, at the Unicorn Barracks:
Su Yu meets Fiona, the deputy commander of the knights who is stationed there. After showing Fiona Tina's emblem and explaining his purpose, Fiona readily opens the Advanced Dungeon for him.
Through the blue portal, Su Yu successfully enters the Advanced Dungeon.
The Advanced Dungeon is filled with monsters around the third stage. Even without his equipment, Su Yu finds it relatively easy to clear them. After each wave of Void monsters, he sits cross-legged to absorb the energy they release, gradually solidifying his magical power with the influx of Void energy.
However, he soon realizes that killing monsters one by one is too slow. Thinking about his newly learned skill, Phoenix Descent, he makes a bold decision: he plans to gather all the monsters in the dungeon and wipe them out in one go!
With his decision made, Su Yu starts running through the dungeon. The three mini-bosses—Spiritbound Seer, Void Golem, and Spellbreaker Mask—chase after him as soon as he enters their aggro range. Along with various Void minions, he eventually gathers all the monsters in the dungeon, leading them deeper into the dungeon while maintaining a safe distance to avoid any ranged attacks.
Finally, after some "circling," Su Yu brings the monster horde to the final boss, Void Eye Vex.
Vex is a Cthulhu-like creature, a giant eyeball covered in tentacles.
Noticing Su Yu's arrival, Vex emits a "z-z-z" sound, and a thick, bright purple plasma beam shoots from its large eye, its ultimate skill, Life Form Disintegration Beam.
Su Yu confidently uses a flash step to appear behind Vex, dodging the plasma beam.
Vex has difficulty turning around while casting its ultimate skill.
By the time it stops and turns to face Su Yu, the three mini-bosses and all the dungeon's minions have already arrived in Vex's arena.
A smile curled at the corner of Austin Yu's lips.
"Flame Phoenix Descent!"
He decisively cast the new spell. Above Austin Yu's head, a massive 20-meter-wide flaming hexagram array rapidly materialized. Within the array, a phoenix composed entirely of flames gradually took shape.
"Clang! Clang!"
The Flame Phoenix let out a high-pitched, resounding cry as it shot down like an arrow, heading straight for the boss arena.
With a thunderous boom, the Flame Phoenix slammed into the ground, sending endless flames soaring in all directions. Within a 50-meter radius, all creatures, including the boss and the three lesser bosses, suffered damage in the hundreds of thousands. Their health bars emptied, and they were instantly reduced to ashes.
Seeing the extraordinary damage dealt by Flame Phoenix Descent, Austin Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"This skill is truly impressive! I can use it on the Dark Invaders in the future... The only downside is the long cooldown. If it were shorter, it would be even better."
...
After a large number of monsters, including the boss, were defeated, a vast amount of void energy began to seep from their corpses.
Austin Yu quickly sat down in a meditative position to absorb the energy. The void energy surged through his body, and he felt his magic becoming more concentrated.
If you looked at his stats, after about five minutes of absorption, his original 53,045 health points decreased to 49,236, and his 75,450 mana points decreased to 58,985.
The drop in attributes indicated that his foundation was solidifying, much like removing the foam from a beer to make room for more.
After five minutes, the void energy completely dissipated, and Austin Yu opened his eyes, letting out a long breath. He found that the Advanced Mystic Realm had been incredibly effective. Moreover, his mana still had room for further compression and solidification.
So, after leaving the Advanced Mystic Realm, Austin Yu decided to go through it twice more, until his mana was compressed to its lowest point at 53,680. Reluctantly, he left the mystic realm area.
...
Having finished the mystic realm, he used his Homeward Stone to return to his territory.
Back in his territory, he hurried to the Mage Tower.
On the third floor, next to the magic pool.
This time, little Catherine wasn't around, so Austin Yu placed the selected magical creature materials into the magic pool himself. However, this time he wasn't using the low-tier materials collected by players. Instead, he used the fifth-tier material, Skybird's Beak, obtained from the Tina Quest, along with some precious additives purchased from Pearl City.
Hum—
The magic pool began to activate, and a faint white glow illuminated the magical array beneath Austin Yu's feet. The Skybird's Beak quickly transformed into a vast amount of purified magic under the pool's refinement, enveloping Austin Yu.
The Skybird is a special magical creature with a unique "Fusion" attribute that enhances the absorption of potions.
Drinking the Anchor Root Potion while surrounded by the Skybird's magic would undoubtedly yield the best results!
Without hesitation, Austin Yu uncorked the bottle and drank the five brown potions one after another.
