Part-Time BOSS - CH 21

[Wow, big plot twist!]

[What happened? I was away in the bathroom. Can someone fill me in?]

[Brother Long is incredible! He’s so dominant!]

[Amazing! No other words can describe it, just amazing!]

[Midnight Dharma God is quitting.]

[Lanyu is in trouble, losing such a big streamer’s account.]

The room was alive with comments, flooding the live broadcast.

Wang Shao felt his blood boil with excitement, wishing he could replace the on-screen character with his own body.

The supervisor stood stunned and speechless, while other employees had mixed expressions of happiness, cheering, envy, and hatred. The show was sure to explode in popularity.

However, Murphy was oblivious to what was happening outside, as he had turned off the barrage function and was fully immersed in his role. The massive black dragon wiped its claws on the ground, leaving behind streaks of blood.

Dawn Excalibur shook his arm, and the blood of Hildeshanks slid down the Dragon Slaying Sword.

One person and one dragon circled each other in silence, observing and searching for possible weaknesses.

Just when the audience anticipated an imminent clash, the black dragon cackled, stretched its wings, and soared into the sky.

Murphy was never the kind of person to get too into roleplaying and forget to keep a clear head. His persona was just a cover-up, a performance.

He didn’t care if he looked like a scoundrel. As long as he flew high enough, the opponent would lose! He could completely handle them from the air using dragon’s breath!

However, Dawn Excalibur seemed to have anticipated that move long ago. Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward, swung his sword with all his strength, and the giant sword went flying out in a spin.

Hero Skill: Desperate Throw!

The huge sword flew in circles and hit the black dragon’s left wing. -4784 HP: Severe Injury!

Murphy felt a sharp pain in his left, and with a crack, his wing bone was severed directly. The giant sword was deeply embedded in his flesh and blood, and he plummeted to the ground.

Checking his status, there was a CRIPPLED debuff (unable to fly) on his character.

What, so fierce? It’s worthy of being a hero skill; if he hadn’t had to announce the move, that could have been a scene out of Hollywood.

The black dragon bit the sword that was stuck in his body and pulled it out forcefully. With a shake of his head, the sword flew into the sky and was nailed to a high rock wall.

He grinned ferociously. “I’m quite curious, human. After losing your weapon, what can you do to hurt me?”

Dawn Excalibur silently reached into his pocket and took out a gigantic axe. Its half-moon shape with jagged teeth on the back gave it a rustic yet formidable appearance. It was extraordinary at first glance: the epic weapon, Barbarian King’s Tomahawk.

Morpheus: “…”

Dawn Excalibur retrieved a bottle of transparent potion and drank it in one gulp.

【Tears of the Goddess of Life (Legendary Potion)

Item Introduction: The holy water bestowed by the Goddess of Life, Notina, can completely restore health and cure all abnormal states. It is said that the Goddess of Life cannot accept pain and death, so she wept for the injured. The pure color is a symbol of the divine power of life. 】

Instantly, the injuries sustained in the previous battle with Hildeshanks were healed.

Morpheus: “…”

Dawn Excalibur shouted, “Ancestors, grant me your power!”

Hero Skill: Ancestral Battle Soul!

Instantly, his body increased in size, his muscles swelled, and he appeared like a robust and untamed man. His hair became thick and flowed like a lion’s mane.

Dawn Excalibur gazed at the black dragon and spoke calmly, “Is this sufficient?”

Morpheus: “…”

He suddenly felt like the comeback he had mounted was just an illusion.

However, at this moment he had no other choice, the only option is to fight for his life.

“I still have nearly 70,000 HP, and the other party has only 8,000 HP even if he activates the Ancestral Soul, so I should trade blood for blood to kill him!”

One man and one dragon let out a roar at the same time, and rushed towards each other.

Dragon Breath!

Fearless Slash!

A robust figure charged through the flames and lunged at the dragon’s upper gate with an axe, leaping a distance of 20 to 30 meters like an acrobat. It appeared that the possession of his ancestor’s soul had immensely amplified his fighting prowess. Murphy tilted his head, and the axe made contact with the black dragon’s left shoulder, piercing its scales and embedding deeply into its flesh, causing a gush of blood to flow out.

The attack dealt 3795 damage points, piercing through the dragon’s armor.

The black dragon attempted to bite down on Dawn Excalibur who was hanging on its left shoulder, but he suddenly let go, and at that very moment, a massive hammer with an exaggerated shape was pulled out of a bag: the epic weapon, Smashing Giant Hammer.

Murphy swiftly lifted his left foot and stomped towards Dawn Excalibur.

However, the hero suddenly rolled towards right and struck the dragon’s right claw with a hammer. 1428 damage!

This wasn’t good. A dragon’s body is enormous, and Murphy couldn’t see the other party once they got under his body.

Dragon Rush! Murphy charged forward, clearing a gap even though he didn’t hit anything, and instantly turned around while opening his maw.

Dragon Breath: Scorch the Earth!

The flames raged through the hall, leaving a trail of burning embers in their wake.

“Now let’s see how you hide,” he muttered.

Dawn Excalibur didn’t hide. He emerged unscathed from the flames, walking calmly as if strolling on dry grass. The firelight illuminated his sturdy muscles, his face resolute, and a large ruby glimmered on his chest. The flames around him were absorbed by the ruby, leaving him untouched.

This must be another legendary item, Murphy thought to himself. Although he had activated his death fury, he had never felt the fear of death until now. Who was this guy with such immense strength and luxurious equipment?

He felt a profound sense of powerlessness. Despite being the final boss and the villain of the story, he now felt like the one being bossed around.

Fake BOSS: Promoted through the side door, trash minions sent by the system, a professional actor who shows off his strength and works hard.

Real BOSS: Ruthless power, legendary equipment, lavish consumables, a grim and silent duelist who marches from loot drop to loot drop.

An inexplicable fear washed over Murphy.

Am I going to die? No, that can’t be right. This is just a game, at worst I’ll lose this battle. But I don’t want to lose, I’m not ready to give up…

No, I’m going to die! It’s going to happen soon, at the hands of that powerful opponent. I’m not ready to die, I’m not ready to die…

The feeling grew stronger, consuming Murphy’s heart and mind. He felt confused and anxious, wondering why he was experiencing this emotion.

Despite his efforts to shake off the fear, it only intensified. A red aura appeared in his vision, and he felt a voice in his head roaring and snarling incessantly.

“Trash… trash… you useless human, are you trying to kill me? I don’t want to die… let me out… LET ME OUT!”

The noise pounded at his head, causing a sharp pain. He shook his head, but the sound persisted. He wasn’t sure if the voice was real or a product of his own imagination.

“Get out of here!” He shouted, and he didn’t know if he was yelling at the voice or at Dawn Excalibur. He unleashed another Dragon Rush. Since Death Fury was activated, the cooldown time for Dragon Rush was only 8 seconds, and it didn’t require any mana. He hoped his massive heft could finish off his opponent…

Dawn Excalibur had no choice but to dodge the charge of the monstrous black dragon. Murphy launched another Dragon Rush as soon as he finished the first one.

The black dragon’s massive frame charged forward with unstoppable force. Dawn Excalibur was forced to keep moving and dodging, narrowly avoiding the dragon’s ferocious attacks. However, several times, the dragon’s momentum caused it to collide with Dawn Excalibur, dealing over a thousand damage.

Murphy was overjoyed. “Haha, this move is so effective! Let’s do it again – Dragon Rush!”

However, this time, Dawn Excalibur didn’t dodge. Instead, he stood his ground against the charging black dragon, gathering power.

Murphy’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s going on? Is he crazy to face a dragon head-on?” But once the move was initiated, there was no turning back. With no other option, Murphy directed his attack towards Dawn Excalibur and charged at him.

Dawn Excalibur continued accumulating power, one stage after another, and the aura emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger.

With no other options left, Murphy had to rely on pure luck. He charged headfirst, hoping that his opponent’s timing would be off by even a fraction of a second, giving him the chance to knock them into the air.

After three stages of charging, Dawn Excalibur unleashed Lion Slash!

He leaped into the air, and just as his hammer was about to strike, the black dragon charged forward. His timing was impeccable, as if the dragon’s head had naturally positioned itself beneath the hammer.

A thunderous boom echoed as the hammer connected, inflicting a serious injury of -5784 HP! The black dragon let out a grunt as it crashed to the ground, and a large vortex symbol appeared above its head, indicating its dazed state.

The live broadcast room erupted into exclamations.

“Stopping the dragon car with a sledgehammer? Awesome!”

“The game’s effects are through the roof!”

“This guy is the real deal. Brother Long is in deep trouble now.”

“Let’s go, Brother Long.”

“Let’s go, Brother Long.”

It was all over. Wang Shao, who had been brimming with excitement just moments ago, suddenly felt a chill. He didn’t expect to lose like this. Despite the black dragon still having tens of thousands of health points, he could see no hope of victory. The opponent’s strength was simply too overwhelming.

While the attack didn’t deliver a fatal blow, its sheer force overwhelmed the black dragon.

Size and health meant nothing in the face of absolute skill. Dawn Excalibur slowly lifted his hammer, exuding supreme confidence and momentum. This battle was won!

But suddenly, a palpable sense of danger crept over him.

Turning around, he saw the black dragon rising once more. Its head was bloody and it looked even more terrifying than before. Its expression was no longer human-like, but rather savage and primitive. The pupils of its eyes gleamed with a dangerous crimson, devoid of any rationality or emotion, only bloodlust and madness. It was like a trapped beast.

An unexplainable sense of dread filled Dawn Excalibur’s heart, causing him to instinctively tighten his grip on his warhammer.
