The world was dark and gloomy, a real downer. But thanks to the non-stop light show from the defense towers, Wu Chi's little corner of hell was lit up like a Christmas tree. And right in the spotlight was the Rotting Great-Raven, looking even more disgusting up close. It was all mud, exposed bone, and rotting meat. With a single flap of its wings, its fifteen-meter-long body blotted out the sky, a real intimidating sight.But Lin Daiyu? She wasn't having any of it. Sword in hand, she leaped into the sky, a beautiful, deadly comet aimed straight for the ugly bird.Seeing a tiny human flying at it, the raven's fiery eyes burned with rage. It had just been zapped by some serious heavenly mojo, and it wasn't just its body that hurt—it felt like its very soul had been tasered. So, it was feeling just a little bit cranky."SCREEEEE!" it shrieked, its body erupting in black fire, which coalesced into two massive, flaming snakes that shot towards Lin Daiyu.Her face was a mask of cold fury. She was a blur of motion, using falling drops of blood and chunks of rotten flesh as impromptu platforms, dancing through the air with impossible grace. She effortlessly dodged the fire snakes and then, almost imperceptibly, took a deep, special breath.Gulp Down the Heavens!By holding that "innate Qi" in her mouth, her attacks now dealt True Damage.SHIIIING—!A flash of sword light. Lin Daiyu moved faster than the raven could track. But the bird wasn't scared; in fact, its eyes held a flicker of contempt. Those humans threw everything at me and barely scratched me, it probably thought. What's one little sword gonna do…?"SCREEEEEEEEE!!!!"Pain! Agonizing, soul-searing pain! The raven shrieked and flapped backwards a few dozen meters, its eyes now wide with terror. Lin Daiyu, having no purchase in the air, landed gracefully before launching herself back up for another attack.The raven had learned its lesson. It desperately tried to gain altitude, spitting a net of black fire to block her path. The fight was on.This thing was a real tank. The towers' attacks would blast off chunks of its rotten body, but it just ignored the damage. However, the spells from Qin Keqing and the sword strikes from Lin Daiyu? Those clearly terrified it. This was one of those annoying "you need special damage to hurt me" type of bosses.…Down on the wall, the new cultivator girls were feeling pretty useless. They had come into their first battle expecting to be badasses and impress their "Supreme Master." Instead, they were watching from the sidelines as the real heroes did all the work. The Vanguards, on the other hand, were pros. They just stood there, cold-faced and ready to jump in if needed.Wu Chi wasn't surprised. Bosses in the Void didn't play by the rules. It didn't matter if you were Level 10 or had a god on your team; the Void would happily spawn a demon lord just to ruin your day. He watched for a bit longer. Lin Daiyu could definitely handle the boss, but killing it was going to be a long, drawn-out slugfest.He glanced at Qin Keqing and gave her a subtle nod. She knew exactly what to do.Floating into the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) air, her [Wind Moon Precious Mirror] flipped open to a new page, and an image of the Great-Raven appeared on it.Notification: Your hero [Qin Keqing] has marked the target! For the duration of the mark, all of your heroes will deal +200% damage to the target!Then, Qin Keqing pursed her lips and exhaled. A tiny, concentrated beam of frost shot out and hit the raven."Heavenly Thunder! HEED MY COMMAND!"CRACK! CRACK!The thunder roared again. The raven heard it and immediately tried to nope out of there, its feathers standing on end. But as it turned to flee, it saw that terrifying woman was back.And this time… she was glowing.Lin Daiyu's clothes and hair billowed around her, her face a mask of icy resolve. She held her sword aloft, and a visible, substantial "breath" of pure white energy flowed from her mouth and coated the blade, making it shine like platinum."One Gulp… to Swallow the Heavens!"With the fluid grace of a dragon, she unleashed a single, hundred-meter-long slash of pure, incandescent sword light.T-H-W-I-P—!The sound of the slash arrived a second after the raven had already been split neatly in two. The two halves of its corpse tumbled from the sky, and just before they could splat all over the nice, clean wall, the wall's own repulsor field kicked in, yeeting the remains to the ground outside. A rain of black blood fell, staining the earth.Lin Daiyu landed, a little pale, her hand over her chest. She scanned the skies, and only when she was sure there were no more threats did she finally turn to look at Wu Chi.
