Chapter 1 Three Difficulty Options?

Shi Feng looked at the system prompt and roughly understood why the Radiant Sword Saint from his previous life had completed the quest.

Bronze difficulty was undoubtedly the easiest. It was highly likely that the Radiant Sword Saint had chosen the Bronze difficulty to complete the Epic Team Quest.

However, the only problem was that the system did not provide specific criteria for the three difficulties.

What level did the three Mythic monsters currently in front of him fighting simultaneously belong to?

If this was the Bronze level, then even he would have to raise his hands in surrender, because in the Hell difficulty Eclipse Throne in his previous life, there was only Amas as a Boss, without any subordinates. With the current team, they were simply no match.

If what was in front of him was the Gold level, then the Bronze and Silver levels might be worth challenging.

“The system’s difficulty selection is really difficult. It doesn’t even provide the most basic criteria, making it impossible for us to make the best judgment.” Feng Qianyu looked at the three Mythic monsters on the throne, her crescent brows furrowed.

Without criteria, if they chose incorrectly, the final result would be a complete waste.

“Brave adventurers, Amas and the others are very strong. During the battle later, if you can’t withstand it, try to concentrate on my side as much as possible. Although my strength has not fully recovered, I can deploy a domain around the area, which can weaken their strength to some extent,” Great Swordsman Edward suddenly said.

“His strength hasn’t fully recovered, and he can deploy a domain?” Shi Feng couldn’t help but glance at Edward, and suddenly understood, “So that’s it!”

“Guild Leader, what’s wrong?” Aqua Rose looked at Shi Feng’s smile and asked curiously.

“I understand the challenge difficulty criteria for this quest.” Shi Feng pointed at Edward and said, “The so-called difficulty doesn’t refer to the three Bosses, but to Edward’s strength as combat assistance. The greater the difficulty we challenge, the more limited Edward’s help will be.”

Everyone was enlightened upon hearing this, feeling that the possibility was very high.

However, everyone quickly fell silent, because even if Edward could provide some help, it would be very limited. They still had to face three Mythic monsters in the end…

Regarding the problem of having to deal with three Mythic monsters, Shi Feng thought for a while and decided that choosing Silver difficulty was safer, because he was confident that the current team was definitely stronger than the Radiant Sword Saint’s team back then. If the Radiant Sword Saint’s team could pass the Bronze difficulty, then their chances of passing the Silver difficulty were also very high.

As for choosing Gold difficulty, although the rewards might be very generous, they only had one chance to choose the quest difficulty. If they failed, it wouldn’t be as simple as dying once and starting over. The quest itself would be ruined, and they would get nothing.

Immediately, Shi Feng chose Silver difficulty.

System: Player has chosen to challenge Silver difficulty. System is loading…

System: The player is challenging “Sun King’s Crown” for the first time. The difficulty selection can be changed to Normal Mode or Heroic Mode. Boss attributes are weakened by 20% in Normal Mode, and the reward is between Bronze and Silver level depending on the combat rating. Boss attributes are weakened by 10% in Heroic Mode, and the reward is between Silver and Gold level depending on the combat rating. Difficulty change is only available for the first challenge. Players can also give up and choose the inherent difficulty. Please choose carefully.

“First-time challenge privilege?” Shi Feng couldn’t help but smile, and immediately understood why the Radiant Sword Saint was able to complete the quest, and then clicked on Heroic Mode.

The 20% reduction in the basic attributes of the three Mythic monsters was undoubtedly a significant boost to the team. No wonder the Radiant Sword Saint’s team was able to defeat three Mythic Bosses. Heroic level also had a 10% reduction. If the suppression from the Gospel Ring was added, the attribute reduction would definitely be close to 30%. With the strength of Cola, Vulture, and Ye Wumian, plus the support of other Tier 2 MTs, they could completely withstand it.

“Challenging Heroic Mode?” Undying Battle Heart was speechless at Shi Feng’s choice, “Is he crazy?”

Feng Qianyu was also surprised. The previous choice was out of desperation. The probability of the team passing was already small, because they were facing three Mythic monsters. But now that they had a choice, choosing Heroic Mode was incomprehensible.

They all understood that with the Gospel Ring that Shi Feng had revealed, they could indeed further suppress the Boss, but facing three Bosses, the biggest test was no longer whether the MTs could withstand it, but whether their output was sufficient.

Because facing three Bosses at the same time, the pressure on the entire team’s healing was extraordinary. The consumption of mana would be very high. By the time they managed to kill the Bosses, their healing mana would probably be gone, and what awaited them would be a team wipe.

Therefore, what they should do was to reduce the Bosses’ health as much as possible, so that the possibility of passing would be greater. Don’t underestimate the 10% difference. Converted into the health of three Bosses, that was over 100 million, and there was also the issue of combat recovery. This required a massive amount of healing mana to achieve…

At the instant Shi Feng finished choosing, the attributes of Amas, the Headless Knight, and the Scorpion King Beast on the throne began to decrease, quickly dropping by 10%.

“Alright, Cola, Vulture, Ye Wumian, the three of you will each tank one Boss later. The other MTs will assist them. Prioritize killing the huge Scorpion King Beast!” Shi Feng said, taking out the Book of Darkness and starting to summon Tier 3 demons, “Everyone, release the weapon restrictions at the same time!”

For this team dungeon, he had already equipped the Zero Wing members with Tier 2 and Tier 3 Mana Weapons. Especially the Tier 2 Mana Weapons, the entire team of over eighty people had at least three weapons each. Originally, this was to prepare for the unexpected and make up for the lack of output.

But now that they were facing three Mythic Bosses at once, there was naturally no need to save them.

When the Zero Wing members heard what Shi Feng said, the originally somewhat subdued Zero Wing members’ eyes began to shine.

Previously, only the MTs could unleash the power of the Mana Weapons. They couldn’t.

Now, hearing Shi Feng’s order to release the weapon restrictions, it meant that they could unleash the power of the Mana Weapons at any time and unleash tremendous power.

“What’s going on with the people from Zero Wing?” The players from Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and War Soul Workshop were puzzled, looking at the Zero Wing members whose confidence and morale suddenly became extremely high.

But after Shi Feng used World Projection and the Ring of Brilliance, and Cola, Vulture, and Ye Wumian all stabilized the three major Bosses, the members of Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and War Soul Workshop were dumbfounded…

After Edward deployed the domain, within the domain, the reaction speed of the three Bosses decreased by 30%, and their attack power also decreased by 20%, which made things much easier for Cola and Vulture.

Facing the Scorpion King Beast and the Headless Knight, whose attributes were suppressed by nearly 30%, the two Bosses were a complete joke. Not to mention Vulture and Ye Wumian, even other Tier 2 MTs could withstand the fierce attacks of the two monsters, allowing everyone to attack wildly, causing the Scorpion King Beast’s and the Headless Knight’s health to drop like crazy.

These Tier 2 experts could only deal tens of thousands of damage at most, but the Tier 2 expert players from Zero Wing Guild dealt over 30,000 damage with a casual blow, not to mention the magic-type output, which was commonly over 40,000 or 50,000. They were incredibly fierce!

However, the result of doing so was also a very high consumption of Mana Weapons. The durability was dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye…

And there was also a Tier 3 demon frantically attacking the Boss, causing the Boss’s health to drop rapidly.

This stunned the members of Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and War Soul Workshop. They didn’t expect Zero Wing Guild to be able to summon a demon that was close to a high-level Great Lord of the same tier.

After killing the two Bosses, facing Amas, the Lich, was much more threatening. Amas could use magic of the four major elements when attacking. With one strike, he could kill a Tier 2 non-plate armor player. Coupled with his elusive body, even if his attributes were suppressed, he was still extremely difficult to deal with.

But under the Forbidden Domain that Shi Feng released from time to time, Amas’s large-scale destructive magic targeting the player group had no chance to be used at all, completely blocked by Shi Feng. Sometimes, even without using the Forbidden Domain, other players would use magic to interrupt his skills, leaving Amas with no temper at all.

It was only when his health dropped to 30% that he quickly used dual casting, catching everyone off guard and hitting them, directly turning them into ashes.

In just a moment, more than a dozen players were killed.

The sight was shocking to everyone.

“How is this possible? The Boss can actually dual cast quickly?” Feng Qianyu and Undying Battle Heart were stunned.

Quick dual casting was extremely difficult for many expert players. As long as they mastered it, it was like becoming two people, greatly enhancing their combat power and defense.

“Everyone, activate burst mode. Except for the MTs, everyone else move quickly and try not to let the Boss capture you!” Shi Feng said, watching Amas who had already gone berserk, and gave orders in quick succession.

After receiving Shi Feng’s commands, everyone immediately acted. They all activated burst mode and kept moving in various ways, making it difficult for Amas to capture them. He could only deal with the MTs who didn’t move much, allowing everyone to suppress Amas and gradually reduce the number of player deaths.

“The Boss’s health is low! Full output!” Shi Feng said, looking at Amas’s remaining health, and directly used Thunder Flame Slash.

Bai Qingxue also used the Tier 2 skill Sword Storm, and Zhao Yueru even used Ice-Fire Space, allowing her two clones to attack at the same time. Aqua Rose also used her domain skill Water Domain without holding back.

Everyone used their strongest output skills.

The lower ones could deal 40,000 to 50,000 damage, while the higher ones could deal over 100,000 damage, constantly reducing Amas’s health.

20%… 10%… 5%…

“Die!”

Shi Feng, who had activated Dark Power, used Flame Burst on Amas after activating God’s Grace, and a series of scarlet flames completely devoured Amas, consuming the last bit of his health.

Boom!

Under everyone’s gaze, Amas’s bones were scattered all over the ground, dead beyond dead, and then a series of system prompts rang in everyone’s ears.
