The mecha’s speed was comparable to that of a fighter jet.
Soldier King Soulbreaker and the others’ expressions changed.
What was there left to learn?
How to fly a fighter jet? Then again, Soulbreaker really could fly one. The problem was, where were they supposed to find a fighter jet for him to fly?
The mecha, traveling at 2,000 kilometers per hour, took only twenty seconds to rush from the foot of the mountain straight to the Necromancer’s courtyard.
According to the game’s settings, the Necromancer was still inside the room studying necromancy. He would only come out to fight after a player entered the courtyard.
Soldier King Soulbreaker wondered if Shen Chi had prevented them from leaving so that he could defeat the boss all by himself.
If that were the case, they really wouldn’t receive any contribution points.
But clearly, he was judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.
Shen Chi set everyone down.
Chu Fu said, “Leave the people behind us a little leeway. We’ll start fighting at the five-minute-ten-second mark.”
“Yeah. Wait a moment—I’ll check the official website for a guide and see whether this boss has any pointless dialogue.”
If the boss suddenly started rambling at twenty percent health and became forcibly invincible or something, it would waste time. Their schedule was already extremely tight, and they would have to run the dungeon all over again.
Soldier King Soulbreaker felt that they were being far too careless.
“There’s nothing like that!” he replied.
He had watched the dungeon guide many times and knew how to deal with this boss. With the current level-25 players from the War Soul Guild leading the party, defeating this boss alone would take three minutes.
The problem was that it took them two minutes just to reach the courtyard.
It was an incredibly narrow margin.
But for Chu Fu and the others, would thirteen seconds really be enough?
That was a tenfold difference.
Chu Fu also confirmed that there was no cutscene and began making preparations.
She wanted to try out her Plantman talent’s Trait 5 after it had reached SSS rank.
Chu Fu began summoning her plants.
She was now level 25. On top of that, upgrading the Plantman talent to SSS rank had increased the number of plants she could control. She could now control a hundred plants.
She decided to spread the wealth evenly: fifteen Dandelions, fifteen Lala Vines, fifteen Watermelon Bombs, fifteen Charm Mushrooms, and fifteen Chompers.
That left twenty-five slots, which she filled entirely with Gatling Corn.
These plants occupied a tremendous amount of space. Once they were all summoned, they took up most of the school plaza.
The skeleton mobs still wandering around in the direction they had come from were instantly wiped out.
“Fusion!”
Chu Fu activated her talent.
In that instant, all the plants fused into her body.
Chu Fu clearly felt a terrifying surge in her attributes.
Her body began to change as well. Her skin radiated a green glow, while living plant fibers crawled over her arms.
Every strand of her hair instantly turned green, taking on the appearance of Lala Vines. Chu Fu even developed the sensation that she could control her hair as easily as she controlled her own fingers.
Her eyes turned purple, and her pupils took on the shape of mushrooms, brimming with an alluring charm as purple spores continuously sprayed from them.
Her arms transformed into green roots. Fifteen Dandelion hot-air balloons sprouted from her shoulders and floated in the air, while her fingers and toes became buzzing, chainsaw-like Dandelions.
The Chompers fused together into a downward-flaring skirt. Several mouths appeared along its hem, writhing ceaselessly, as though they could swallow up every inch of ground she passed over.
Watermelon Bombs and Gatling Corn decorated the skirt, making her look ready to launch into battle at any moment.
Chu Fu’s entire body grew from 168 centimeters tall into a three-meter-tall giant.
Of course, she could become even larger, but she was already maintaining her smallest form inside the dungeon.
The Necromancer wasn’t very large, after all. If she grew too big, attacking him would actually become more difficult.
Soldier King Soulbreaker stared at Chu Fu’s bizarre appearance, his mouth hanging open.
Who could even tell which one was the boss now?
You look even more terrifying than the evil Necromancer!
“Whoa! Plant Girl, you turned green!”
That was true. Chu Fu’s entire skin was now green.
But her combat power was practically invincible.
On the other side, Shen Chi was unwilling to be outdone.
Using metal manipulation, he began compressing his mecha. He also slightly activated Trait 5 of his Mechanic class, shrinking the twenty-meter-tall mecha down to roughly three meters.
When the colossal machine was compressed to three meters, Shen Chi’s current mass became astonishing.
The power unleashed by this mecha was actually several times greater than that of its twenty-meter-tall form.
And he now had a massive cleaver in his hand.
Because of his metal manipulation, the cleaver could extend up to fifty meters.
Xie Lin naturally refused to be outdone either. He spent guild contribution points to take a hundred weapons out of the guild warehouse.
The King’s Sword was now beneath his feet, while countless longswords hovered behind him, flashing with silver and green light.
“You’re all showing off, huh? Then look at mine—the Mother of the Earth!”
Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao stomped both feet, and countless clods of soil rose into the air, forming a row of earthen-armored soldiers.
“Whoa! Are you summoning the Terracotta Army? Jiao Jiao, are you secretly Qin Shi Huang?”
Suture Saint laughed as he summoned an identical clone of himself.
During the previous town-defense battle, Shafu Liangu and Zhimengzhe had not only earned a considerable amount of contribution points themselves, but had also spent a huge sum of money to finally upgrade their A-rank talents to S-rank.
Shafu Liangu summoned an army of Gu insects: spiders, moths, centipedes, scorpions, and bees.
Every single one of them was as fat as a thousand-jin pig.
Zhimengzhe still summoned only his doll, but the doll now possessed a pair of dragon pupils. Just meeting its gaze was enough to leave someone intimidated.
The battle had yet to begin, but Soldier King Broken Edge already felt surrounded by colossal beings.
He had participated in the previous town-defense battle as well, but he had been following Laoji Fuli at the time. The only people around him had been Laoji Fuli, Suture Saint, and Wu Yingchun.
Suture Saint had indeed been extremely powerful, with wide-area attacks and explosive skills.
But an area-of-effect skill could hit many targets, so its advantage was not as obvious against a single boss.
Soldier King Broken Edge could not fly either, and the town-defense battle had been so chaotic that he had barely had time to look at the others.
Only now, observing them from such a close distance, did he realize how terrifyingly powerful every member of Chu Fu’s party was.
Of course, there was still one person whose abilities he knew nothing about.
He gritted his teeth and sent them a private message.
“Everyone, we only need to surpass one person’s damage contribution. That level-20 Dream King looks like a utility-type player. As long as we beat him, we’ll be fine!”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Time passed little by little.
Chu Fu was still experimenting with her Plantman transformation. Combining different plants produced different gigantic Plantman forms.
At the same time, she continued planting Charm Mushrooms, then began feeding them to her Chompers.
What delicious mushrooms. A Little Toxic ate them, then Plantman ate them afterward—one mushroom, two meals. Nothing went to waste.
Soon, the time reached five minutes and ten seconds.
“Everyone, get ready!”
Chu Fu pushed open the gate to the Necromancer’s courtyard.
“Who dares disturb my necromantic research? You’ll all become skeletons and serve as my summoned creatures!”
The Necromancer stepped out from inside.
Three seconds were wasted.
“Attack!”
In the next moment, countless rays of light and skills bombarded the Necromancer.
