Chapter 54: I Casually Defeated the Siege Boss
"Below the 1x7 to 1x9 grid, there are three 2s, making it hard to determine which two squares have mushrooms."
"The 16x14 area's mushrooms have reset; it must be explored again."
"Damn! What a tricky dart!"
Su Yu moved at lightning speed across the vast lawn.
Each empty square without mushrooms was explored, and those with mushrooms were marked with red flags.
The game "Minesweeper" had been transformed into a 3D real-life "Mushroom Array," making it much more challenging due to the inability to see the entire board at once.
To make matters worse, Teemo would occasionally reset a small area of the mushroom layout, adding to Su Yu's difficulties.
Su Yu's mind was intensely focused, his entire being devoted to the "Mushroom Array," even more so than when he faced the "Howling Wolf King."
Fortunately, his current speed was incredibly fast; otherwise, he wouldn't have stood a chance against this boss alone.
Amumu didn't join Su Yu in exploring the mushrooms.
Upon seeing Teemo, his anger surged, and he strode forward with determination.
"Teemo, you must die!" Amumu's originally yellow eyes turned blood red.
The sight of a rival always stirs the blood.
Teemo, lying leisurely in the grass and chewing on a blade, glanced at Amumu with a cold stare. "There are many who want me dead! Who are you to think you can do it? If you truly want me dead, you'll have to get through my mushroom array!"
With that, Teemo pulled out a blowpipe and blew a dart at Su Yu, his cheeks puffing up. At the same time, he tossed a large green mushroom into the field, altering the layout of a small area.
The dart's speed was so fast that it was nearly invisible to the naked eye.
The moment Teemo raised his blowpipe, Su Yu immediately cast "Flash," narrowly avoiding the dart's attack.
Teemo instantly went into stealth mode, making him untouchable by Amumu.
So Amumu could only shout to Su Yu, "Keep it up! Adventurer. Break through his mushroom array and show him our strength!"
As he spoke, a golden light shot from Amumu's body and enveloped Su Yu.
"Amumu's Blessing: Movement Speed +20%."
This buff was beneficial to Su Yu.
However, the problem was that Su Yu's movement speed was already very fast, and he needed to dodge Teemo's darts while solving the mushroom array.
Caught off guard by the sudden speed boost, he nearly couldn't stop in time and almost stepped on a clearly marked mushroom square.
"Don't just randomly give people buffs!" Su Yu yelled in frustration.
But he had no time to scold Amumu and could only continue focusing on the mushroom array.
Finally, at 9 minutes and 25 seconds, Su Yu stepped onto the last numbered square that wasn't a mushroom.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the mushrooms in the array activated simultaneously, exploding and releasing a green cloud of toxic gas across the lawn.
Su Yu stood on a square without a mushroom, avoiding the toxic fumes.
Teemo's stealth disappeared.
Amumu, enraged, grabbed Teemo by the collar. "You thief! Give me back my Annie!"
"Annie?" Teemo looked bewildered. "I don't like Annie; I like Tristana."
"Ah—"
Amumu let out another anguished roar, shattering the entire dream, and the dungeon ended.
"Finally done!" Su Yu panted.
If it weren't for his sense of decorum, he would have lain down on the ground to rest.
"Doing the work of five people is damn exhausting! Next time I clear a dungeon, I need to find some capable allies!"
After clearing the dungeon, the system announcement sounded:
"Detected as the first player to clear a Level 10 dungeon. Special reward: 1 point of World Renown."
"Would you like to remain anonymous for the server-wide announcement?"
"No, I don't want to be anonymous."
Server-wide Announcement: Player Nemesis has successfully cleared the 10-man level 10 dungeon [Amumu's Sorrow]. As the first player to clear a level 10 dungeon, Nemesis is awarded 1 point of World Renown as a token of encouragement.
Server-wide Announcement: Player Nemesis has successfully cleared the 10-man level 10 dungeon [Amumu's Sorrow]. As the first player to clear a level 10 dungeon, Nemesis is awarded 1 point of World Renown as a token of encouragement.
Server-wide Announcement: Player Nemesis
This announcement, like the one for the level 5 dungeon, echoed three times in the ears of all players. However, unlike the previous announcement, which caused a massive uproar, this one left the players in a state of silence.
In the level 8 monster zone of Rookie Village 2, players were busy clearing the surrounding monsters, their thoughts heavy with awe.
"Wow, Nemesis actually cleared another dungeon first?"
"Yeah, and it's a level 10 dungeon! I haven't even cleared a level 5 dungeon yet."
"I did manage to clear one when I was level 6, but it was the easiest one, [Thundercliff]. We wiped almost 20 times before we finally made it!"
"But Nemesis cleared it solo!"
"Right? I feel like we're not even playing the same game."
"After clearing a dungeon for the first time, you get a chance to use the 'Loudspeaker.' Let's see what Nemesis has to say."
The players' spirits were somewhat dampened. They had only just realized how difficult the dungeons were and the vast gap in strength between themselves and Nemesis.
Now, Nemesis had cleared a level 10 dungeon solo...
Forget it, he must be some kind of monster.
The players shook their heads in disbelief.
Three seconds later, a familiar voice rang out in the ears of all players.
"Hello everyone! This is Nemesis."
"I don't have much time, so I'll keep it short and mention three things."
"First, I killed the Siege Boss in Rookie Village 6. I was leveling up in Wolf King Valley when I came across [Howling Moon Wolf King]. Since I had nothing better to do, I just killed it."
Su Yu paused here, giving the players a moment to process his words.
The moment his words reached the players, the various gathering points fell into a deafening silence.
Then, a wave of loud voices swept through every corner of the rookie villages, and the players were nearly driven mad:
"What the hell? You killed the first Wolf King?!"
"Is this even human? What do you mean 'just killed it'? That's a Siege Boss with 140,000 HP!"
"Right! And if I remember correctly, [Howling Moon Wolf King] has a dozen or so minions, each one a boss-level monster!"
"Earlier, the second Wolf King appeared in Sunnywind Village, and thousands of players couldn't hold it back. You just 'killed it casually'?"
"I'm completely bowing to Nemesis. His level of exaggeration has surpassed the imagination of mere mortals!"
"I remember a few days ago, Nemesis was 1v100. Now, he's probably 1v10,000!"
The players were utterly stunned. Many stood frozen in place, unable to believe their ears.
But their subconscious was telling them that Nemesis wasn't lying. He really was that powerful!
Thank you to "Muse Jun" for the 10,000 reward! I will definitely add an extra chapter after the New Year to show my gratitude!
