[Wind-Boy Solo-Stan: Hehe, after the second life, there's still a third life.]
[Nero's Sword: Hehe, after the third life, there's still a fourth life. Enjoy it, streamer.]
[Dawg of the Jump Slash Immortal: You need to fight through four health bars of Phantylia, but Nero is afraid you'll get tired so he helped you instantly delete one bar. Hurry and say thank you to Nero!]
Now that the real boss fight had begun, it was harder to call anything a spoiler.
But seeing the chat messages from people who had already cleared this part and knew Phantylia had four health bars, Siberian Duck still couldn't help feeling her scalp go numb.
Then, without thinking, she followed the last message and said, "Thank you, Nero."
The transition into the battle scene was extremely impactful. At this moment, Siberian Duck's screen had returned to normal.
In the animation, Phantylia fell backward, then struggled to steady herself. It was clear that Nero's jump slash, or rather his sheer strength, had affected her quite a bit.
Phantylia stretched out her hand and said slowly, "I underestimated your strength. Now then, how will you deal with this move?"
The animation played. A planet fell from the sky, dealing damage to Siberian Duck's team. Only after that did the actual battle truly begin.
In the first phase of the boss fight, after some time, the familiar support assistance appeared again. But this time, it wasn't Nero. It was Dan Heng's Cloud Piercer.
When the animation showed the massive azure dragon coiling around Dan Heng, Siberian Duck couldn't help blurting out, "Damn, so cool! My god, Dan Heng, how can you be this cool!"
As Cloud Piercer was unleashed, dragon and waves merged and surged toward Phantylia, dealing massive imaginary damage.
Phantylia, after being hit, slowly raised her head and looked toward Dan Heng.
"Oh? An immortal dragonkin? You've finally come to fulfill your duty of guarding Jianmu?"
In the player's version of the battle, Phantylia was clearly a very powerful opponent. Her demeanor was calm and composed, completely unlike someone who had been suppressed earlier due to being countered.
For the game, this was necessary. The system was already doing its best to keep the story from going completely off the rails.
Though sometimes the game really did get a bit wild.
For example, that closet scene in the Belobog hotel, "Die, hotel demon!", was definitely the kind of design that made players smile and remember it.
There wasn't much else worth mentioning in this phase after Cloud Piercer. Siberian Duck launched a fierce offensive and quickly finished this part.
When Phantylia's health bar was emptied, another animation played.
The azure dragon circled through the starry sky. Dan Heng floated in midair, holding the Orb of Depth, commanding the dragon to attack Phantylia. Waves of dragon might surged as she was pushed backward by the impact.
Then lightning flashed, golden light soared, and a massive blade slashed upward. Phantylia, pushed back by Dan Heng's attack, collided directly into the Divine General's strike.
The collision of the two colossal forces sent shockwaves in all directions, and Phantylia staggered once more.
At that moment, the illusion flowers she summoned were destroyed by March and Stelle, while Welt activated the Star of Eden.
An invisible gravitational field instantly descended. Even Phantylia bent under the immense pressure.
And just as she was caught in the gravity field, Nero jumped in again with his sword.
Another heavy jump slash slammed into her, knocking her giant body straight to the ground. The violent tremor made it feel like the entire cavern was shaking.
Enraged, Phantylia forced herself back up, pushing her Destruction and Abundance powers to the limit, then slammed herself down onto the platform again.
The boss fight entered its second phase.
In the real world, Siberian Duck's livestream.
After a long and difficult progression through the main story, it had finally reached the moment to fight the final boss.
Siberian Duck controlled her character deeper into the Jianmu cavern. After a round of dialogue, the CG animation began.
Under Dan Heng's guidance, everyone moved deeper inside. Everyone except Nero walked ahead, while he stayed behind.
In this animation, the cracks on Nero's body and the starry sky flowing within them were especially clear. On the mirror-like ground, his reflection could be faintly seen.
They discovered Phantylia, but the camera gave a close-up to Nero. The figure of the Mirror Holder Aemdo appeared beneath his feet. Then the dialogue began.
The two had a conversation that no one else could hear. Aemdo expressed his own principles and his unwillingness to attack alongside Phantylia while she held the initiative.
"He's actually such a good person!" Siberian Duck said with emotion.
"It's rare to see such a righteous villain these days. He's so upright he doesn't even feel like a villain. And his character model looks way more detailed than I expected."
But after briefly mentioning Aemdo, she immediately shifted her focus back to Nero.
"By the way, Nero's already in that state before the final fight starts. You can clearly see the cracks on his body, even more obvious than in the PV. It feels kind of eerie, but on him it looks like wounds."
[Love Sect: Praise Nero! My Nero is beautiful.]
[Dan-Heart Eternal: Guys, even though Aemdo hasn't appeared much yet, I really like him.]
[Life Sent by the River: Yeah, same. He doesn't feel like a typical villain. But compared to Nero, still a bit lacking. Wonder if he'll ever become a playable character.]
[I Use Pantene: He'll probably die in the final fight, right?]
After the dialogue ended and Aemdo left, the animation resumed. Phantylia finally fused with Jianmu and used the power of Abundance to create her body. Her massive, majestic form appeared before everyone, looking extremely confident.
The moment Siberian Duck saw it, her eyes went wide, completely drawn by the two enormous figures.
"Holy, so big!", she blurted out instinctively.
In the next instant, the chat exploded.
[Siberian Duck Assistant: Careful there, you'd better be talking about Phantylia's size.]
[Little Black Duck: Someone's jealous of that figure, huh?]
[Herta Fan Club: It is big, but shouldn't you be a bit more reserved?]
It had just been an instinctive reaction, but it made the chat even more lively. Instead of improving her mood, it only made her more annoyed.
Siberian Duck lowered her head, looked at her own thighs, and sighed deeply with a troubled expression.
She decided to ignore the annoying chat and focus on the game. At that moment, the animation shocked everyone.
When Phantylia's massive form appeared and she summoned flowers, and even the battle UI showed up, everyone thought this was the start of the first phase.
But then something unexpected happened.
A character not in the team suddenly rushed in from off-screen. That small figure with flowing white hair was instantly recognizable.
Nero appeared, holding the oversized Black Cleaver, and brought down a jump slash straight onto Phantylia.
As the strike landed, a massive shockwave burst out. The screen showed cracking effects under the impact, and Phantylia's health bar was instantly emptied.
"Holy crap! Nero's jump slash cracked my screen!" Siberian Duck shouted. But almost immediately after, she shouted even louder, "Holy crap, Nero one-shot Phantylia!"
[Dan Heart Eternal: Hehe, it's fine. There's still a second life.]
