Chapter 750
Fwish
With Heavengazer and Elucidator drawing mirages in the air, he cut in twain the phantoms that tried to stop him . Turning the black mist into grey air that surged into the dark mass of swirling darkness . Nothing could stop Wu Yan .
Asuna wanted to charge with Wu Yan but the phantoms born from the dark mist kept her busy . She clenched her teeth in frustration as she dealt with the adversaries at hand .
Before Wu Yan can land a hit on the entity within the dark mass, a howl came from within . A vague figure of a giant entity could be seen within the swirling darkness .
A bestial claw came from the entity’s side, it swiped at Wu Yan’s chest with its gnarly claws .
With a flash in his eyes, he unfurled Elucidator which is shining with the light of sword skills, blocking the claws .
Clang
A heavy and gloomy aura came from the bestial claws . The supernatural power ground against Elucidator’s skill, making sparks and ear-piercing noises .
Wu Yan’s expression changed when he saw the malevolent claws in front of him . He used Heavengazer to smack the claws on his other sword .
Bam
Awooo
The giant entity cried in pain, shaking the room with its wail . Wu Yan and Asuna were momentarily stunned by this loud noise .
The entity retreated into the swirling dark mass . Elucidator opened up a hole in the swirling dark mist cloud because there is nothing to stop it .
An indicator floated above the misty cloud . 7 HP bars were hanging there, the top-most bar only got depleted by a little bit .
Wu Yan and Asuna understood this as the 99th-floor’s boss .
“The floor boss is a swirling mass of dark clouds?”
Asuna couldn’t help but express her surprise .
They have never heard of a boss with an ambiguous form like this before .
As for Wu Yan who is the closest to the entity, he peered through the hole he opened and his pupils shrunk .
Inside the swirling clouds, the phantoms were merging into one like maggots that consumed each other inside a Gu pot . At the core of this monstrosity is an entity around 3 meters tall that absorbed the surrounding dark powers like a suckling . It solidified further when more dark energy streamed into its body .
That was the giant entity that fought Wu Yan .
Wu Yan’s face darkened and his two swords started shining brightly as he slashed the swirling clouds there .
Boom
The clouds got smashed apart as sparks flew whenever the swords touched tendrils of darkness and the dark mist around the dark mass .
The swirling cloud’s HP bar fell some more . The red gleam also dimmed down when damaged . However, the phantoms and even the giant entity itself were enraged as they roared in sync .

The wandering tendrils formed spikes that flew at Wu Yan .
He got sent flying away by the spears of darkness .
“Yan!”
Asuna blew off the phantoms holding her back as she caught Wu Yan . They landed a few meters away . Stabilizing themselves, Asuna asked Wu Yan .
“Yan…”
Asuna helped Wu Yan get back on his feet .
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I am fine…”
Wu Yan rubbed his chest . The healing fairy flew over to heal him back to full health .
“This floor boss, its attack patterns are too abnormal…”
Wu Yan raised his head . He furrowed his brows at the swirling cloud overhead .
Asuna also knitted her brows with a troubled look .
“Why is the floor boss a cloud?”

“Ask Kayaba Akihiko…”
Wu Yan shook his head .
He pointed both his swords at the dark cloud .
“We already confirmed the black cloud is the floor boss . Attacking the black mist can deplete its HP . Attacking the shadows and phantoms spawned will not harm the boss in the slightest . When we kill the spawns of darkness, they will coalesce into an entity that grows stronger with each phantom slain . ”
Asuna thought about when Wu Yan clashed with the entity born from the darkness . Her head started aching .
That entity is on par with Wu Yan in terms of strength . With a seemingly endless amount of shadow and dark spawns around them, the entity will only grow stronger the longer this fight drags on…
Fortunately for them, they came by themselves . If the clearers fought against a boss like this, their formation will probably collapse in no time at all . This is one battle where the more players you had, the more disadvantage you had in a battle . This boss is a natural predator and the raid group is the prey .
They numbered less than the phantoms . And these phantoms can definitely swarm the players . When they break formation, that would be the end of the raid group .
Wu Yan and Asuna’s expression turned grave . They looked at the swirling cloud which is still emitting the sounds of tortured souls . Wu Yan can vividly feel the demonic cries mixed within the anguished screams of the damned .
The swirling cloud finally stopped churning and the sinister red color within the cloud started receding .
“I-it’s gone!”
Asuna tightened her grip on her rapier .
“Is the floor boss dead? . . . ”
“If only that were true…”
Wu Yan bitterly laughed .
“I am afraid the tough fight is only just starting…”
The black cloud in the air dispersed, leaving only a small core at the center . A blood-red entity revealed itself to Wu Yan and Asuna in place of the swirling clouds .
It had humanoid arms, legs, and head, minus a face . It stood 3 meters tall . . .
Its arrival made Asuna and Wu Yan look grim .
Like an entity made out of blood, it looked somber and malicious . It had a savage and cold aura coming from it .
Its blank face had two piercing red eyes that told the players here it’s not here to dispense fun . Like a ravenous wolf, it stared at the players here .
The core merged with the entity, it pulsated like a heart on the center-left side of the entity’s chest . The giant now had 7 bars of HP .
Roar
It emitted a booming bellow .
