Lenny inside the mine looked up and let out a sigh of relief.

I did it.

A smile finally appeared on Lin's face.

Next, all he had to do was defeat the released hidden boss to achieve the first SSS level difficulty completion of the Blackstone Mines.

Chapter 39.

Killing the hidden boss at the entrance of the third undead mine.

Lya's figure gradually emerged from the dark tunnel.

Hondong and the others had already stood up, wearily looking around.

Clearly, they had all been startled by the previous commotion.

At this moment, seeing Lin Yi come out, they felt a sense of relief, as if they had found their backbone.

"Boss, you're finally out.

Was that commotion caused by you?" Hanong approached, speaking with a hint of fear.

Without a doubt, Lin's actions were undoubtedly to release the creature that had made that terrifying howl earlier.

According to the strategy guide Han Dong had seen, there weren't any monsters in the Blackstone mine that could make such a roar.

Although he was curious about how Linny had done it, he kept his questions to himself.

It's just a hidden boss.

Killing it will get us an SSS rating.

Lenny said this method wasn't exactly a secret anymore.

After all, many had already guessed that the conditions for achieving an SSS rating in the Blackstone mine were definitely related to those three undead mines.

But no one had managed to trigger all three mechanisms simultaneously.

For a novice player to reach 100 points in a single attribute at level five was incredibly challenging.

Only a select few could possibly achieve that standard.

Gathering three such novice players in a settlement was no small feat.

It was only in a certain year of Lin Y's previous life that a super large settlement managed to produce three SSS level ultra luxury in novice configurations, thus achieving the first SSS level clearance of the Blackstone mine.

in this life.

However, Lini was the first to reach that achievement.

The other three were excited to hear Linny say this, not to mention being the first in history to achieve an SSS rating, especially at the Abyss level, had immense value.

This was not comparable to an ordinary difficulty dungeons SSS rating, even if it was obvious they had stumbled upon this achievement.

Sometimes universities don't care about such details.

As long as it looks good on paper, it's a testament to their recruitment capabilities and a highlight when reporting upward.

At this moment, they were only one step away from achieving this accomplishment.

Killing the hidden boss under Lynn Y leadership, the team charged up the mountain at an astonishing speed.

Whoosh! Here, the howling wind brought a chilling sensation that swept through everywhere.

Mixed in with the wind were sounds that could either be the howling of the wind or the whimpering of hidden beasts lurking in the shadows, sending shivers down their spines.

In the midst of the wind, they could vaguely see a large black figure about 5 m tall wandering on the mountaintop.

Gulp.

This scene made the other three in the team swallow hard.

The pressure here was somewhat unfair for a level five dungeon, wasn't it? Liy, however, remained calm.

To be honest, there were far more intimidating scenes in the dungeons to come.

Moreover, there were many unchallenged spatial rifts in the world, which could be considered true hell on Earth.

Each of these was a genuinely existing space, and one could even find many human corpses within them.

These were left behind by adventurers who had failed to challenge the spatial rifts.

Compared to these places, the hidden boss in the Blackstone mine was nothing.

Lee initiated the attack.

Han Don assisted and in Sheaming activated her spike aura as soon as the battle began.

Lini quickly issued the orders.

Good.

The other three immediately agreed and Le Fay drew her sword, stepping into the howling wind as she charged towards the boss.

Hondong closely followed behind to let Lee stabilize the aggro first.

13.

As Lee delivered a fiery slash to the boss, a light red damage value floated up.

Five.

Hanong followed up with a punch to the boss, but he didn't feel much feedback from the impact.

Moreover, the damage value was so low that Han Dong was somewhat astonished.

Clearly, the boss before them had a high resistance to physical damage.

At this rate, how long would it take to kill the boss? Although Lynn Y's healing spells could ensure they wouldn't be killed, the crucial question was whether they could defeat the boss before their stamina ran out.

After all, an adventurer stamina was limited.

Hondong felt that at this intensity of battle, he could only hold out for at most 30 minutes.

But with their current damage output, killing the boss within 30 minutes seemed difficult.

Don't worry, with Lini here, Lee, sensing Hanong's concerns, spoke up.

She knew very well how powerful Lin's output was.

Hanong nodded.

That was indeed the case.

The healer spells could deal damage to undead monsters.

and Sheaming also stepped onto the battlefield, activating her spike aura as per Linea's instructions.

At this point, she realized that the howling wind on the mountaintop was actually composed of twisted-faced wraiths.

Once they entered combat, they would receive continuous damage.

This damage was causing the health of the other three in the team, except for Lin Yi, to visibly drop at a rapid pace into just a moment of distraction, and Sheiming's health was down to 2/3.

Clang.

At that moment, a healing light shone upon her.

Don't doawtle.

Remember to dodge the boss's attacks or you might get killed in one hit.

Line's warning followed.

And Sheaming was startled and immediately adjusted her mindset.

As Linny had said, the current scenario allowed for no mistakes.

Clearly, this was also directed at Han Dong.

At that moment, he looked at his health, which had just been restored by Lin Y's healing spell, rapidly declining again, and he felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head.

The difficulty of this historic first SSS rating was indeed too high.

With no mages present, it seemed that only Lin Y's healing spells could truly deal damage to the boss.

But Liy also had to keep an eye on their health.

How could he have the extra capacity to attack the boss? This was the first time since entering the Blackstone mine that they had fallen into such a desperate battle.

Han Dong could no longer afford to think too much.

It was either fight or die.

At this moment, he could only force himself to fight until he was truly exhausted.

Meanwhile, Lini observed and Sheen, who was nervously dodging the boss's randomly falling attacks not far away with an unchanged expression.

It was time to give this girl some intensity.

Chapter 40.

Lu Yuning shock.

The gap is so vast under such intensity.

The nerves of the few people in the team were almost stretched to the limit.

The only one who seemed somewhat relaxed was Leni.

For him, this level of positioning was simply too easy, it hardly posed any difficulty.

Even though he had to pay attention to his teammates health, it still wasn't challenging at all.

However, the other three novices were like they were racing against death, unable to relax, even a little under such intensity.

Lee was okay.

After all, she was an S-class talent warrior.

Her stamina among noviceses was absolutely top tier.

Although Hanong was slightly weaker, he could barely keep up with the rhythm.

As for In Shinmung, this guy had been slacking off almost entirely.

And being a mage class, this situation was simply hell difficulty for her.
