Chapter 121: The Passerby with a Sullen Expression

In the game "Digital Origin World," as long as one's strength is sufficient, terrain destruction is definitely possible. This has been demonstrated many times. For example, during the Oga Beast dungeon, didn’t one beast break many trees? In a way, trees are also considered part of the terrain.

This valley, perhaps to accommodate the power of the Reaper Flame Beast, had been adjusted by the system to be stronger. Yet, with so many players crowded inside, it was already on the verge of collapse. When that beast’s punch landed, it became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

“Damn it, what exactly is happening in there?” A bystander player looked anxiously at the smoke billowing from the valley.

Earlier, when that beast and the Reaper Flame Beast exchanged punches, the shockwaves stirred up clouds of dust, causing those plumes of smoke to rise. Everyone present was just a player, with no special abilities like the White Eye or Sharingan, so there was no way to see what was unfolding inside the smoke.

“Boom!” Another loud explosion echoed, followed by a fierce gust of wind that tore through the smoke, finally revealing the scene within the valley to the others.

Honestly, they would have preferred not to see it. Every one of them fell silent, some even looking as if they had swallowed something bitter, their faces dark with shock.

What was happening inside the valley was not so hard to understand. In short, that beast was locked in a rapid exchange of punches with the Reaper Flame Beast.

“Impossible…” After a long moment, a player uttered the words with difficulty.

The others remained silent, but sometimes silence speaks volumes. They hadn’t expected that the Reaper Flame Beast’s power remained largely intact, which meant its combat strength was still formidable.

Moreover, none of the players present intended to intervene, which already spoke volumes. In their minds, they still felt they couldn’t defeat this Reaper Flame Beast. Yet they never imagined that the beast they thought couldn’t overcome the Reaper Flame Beast was actually holding its own.

“So this is what top-tier strength looks like?” After a while, another player spoke up.

“How long do you think that beast will take to defeat this enemy?” At that moment, an untimely voice chimed in.

They had discussed this before, but back then, they were debating how long it would take for the Reaper Flame Beast to defeat that beast. Now, the roles were reversed.

“At least five minutes, right? Although that beast is strong, the Reaper Flame Beast is still a wild map boss. It’s even stronger than dungeon bosses. There’s no way it would fall so easily.”

“Don’t forget, the Burst Mode has flaws. If the battle drags on past five minutes, the Reaper Flame Beast’s chances of winning would increase. That beast can’t afford to drag it out.”

“Sure, it can’t drag the fight out, but why do you think it would last five minutes? Remember, it took him five minutes to go toe-to-toe with the Reaper Flame Beast alone, but he has that Mecha Dragon Beast with him. We don’t know exactly how strong that Mecha Dragon Beast is, but it’s a fully evolved form; it must have some combat power. I don’t think it will last five minutes—maybe not even three.”

“You’re right. With the Mecha Dragon Beast, it might not even last three minutes. If that Mecha Dragon is strong enough, it might not even last two.”

About a minute passed, and everyone watching the scene in the valley grew increasingly serious. They had clearly underestimated that beast.

Earlier, after battling many players, the Reaper Flame Beast had shown signs of fatigue and weakness. Meanwhile, that beast and the Mecha Dragon Beast were both at full strength, which explained why the Reaper Flame Beast had already lost about seventy percent of its health.

“Wait a moment, everyone. Aren’t we forgetting something?” Suddenly, a player in the crowd spoke up in confusion.

“Forgetting? Forget what…” Another player shook his head, about to respond, but then suddenly remembered something important. Without hesitation, he moved, ordering his digital beast to take him into the valley. Before he could act, someone else had already realized what they had forgotten and charged straight into the valley.

What they had forgotten was simple—they had come to fight the wild map boss, not just to watch others fight it. If they didn’t act soon, the Reaper Flame Beast’s strength might be snatched by that beast and its ally.

In an instant, all players capable of entering the valley from the air arrived. With the beast and the Mecha Dragon Beast holding the front line, and everyone activated in player invincibility mode, they had no fear of harming their allies and launched a full assault on the Reaper Flame Beast.

The Reaper Flame Beast’s health was already down to thirty percent, and their combined attacks immediately reduced it to ten percent. This showed just how fierce the latest assault had been.

“Roar!” Yet, at just ten percent health, the Reaper Flame Beast’s eyes suddenly turned ghostly white—where they had been red before—and its aura surged with renewed intensity.

A bystander player voiced his confusion, “What’s going on?”

“Wait, ten percent health? Could it be a red-blood counterattack?” Another player’s face showed a trace of horror, as if recalling some grim knowledge.

“Retreat!” Hearing this, others seemed to realize the danger. One player shouted loudly to those around him.
