Everyone had been worrying about how to deal with the boss after it went berserk, but they were completely captivated by Shi Feng's stunning transformation.
Setting aside the handsome and dazzling appearance, just standing there exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.
This was no longer mere pressure from raw power — it was a reverence born from the very essence of life itself.
"What on earth is going on?" Watercolor Rose said in shock.
Everyone knew players couldn't transform, yet Shi Feng had transformed, and that terrifying pressure was even stronger and more fearsome than the berserk Dark Knight Gaia.
It wasn't just Watercolor Rose and the others who were shaken — even Hei Zi and Jimo Ruxue, who knew what to expect, were utterly astonished.
They never anticipated the Dragon's Power being this overwhelming. It sent chills down both their spines.
"The guild leader could probably one-shot me right now," Jimo Ruxue said with a bitter smile.
"Not just one-shot you — I bet even Ke Le would go down in a single strike." Hei Zi recalled Shi Feng's terrifying damage output from before, how even his strongest skill, Light of Stars, couldn't compare. Now with his power doubled, that meant his attack power was doubled as well.
If he used his skills, Ke Le's seven thousand-plus HP wouldn't even be worth a glance.
"So the Dragon's Power really is that powerful." Shi Feng clenched his fist. He could feel his body surging with seemingly infinite strength, and on top of that, something had made his mind incredibly clear and calm, reaching an unprecedented peak state.
At this moment, Shi Feng's Strength exceeded one thousand points, and his Attack Power surpassed twenty-three hundred. His HP had soared to over nineteen thousand, and his Defense was over forty-five hundred — double that of Ke Le. In an instant, he had become a boss in his own right.
"Ke Le, let me tank the boss." Shi Feng wanted to give it a try, and besides, he was far better at tanking bosses than Ke Le. Setting aside his high attack, high defense, and high HP, just his evasion alone was something Ke Le — a Guardian Knight — couldn't hope to match.
"Sure." Ke Le blinked in surprise, then nodded.
With over nineteen thousand HP, no main tank could be more reliable than Shi Feng.
Once Shi Feng took over, he swung his sword — swift as thunder, carrying the force of a thousand tons — and slashed into Dark Knight Gaia, dealing over two thousand points of damage. At the same time, Gaia was forced back three steps, each one leaving a footprint in the hard stone floor.
This was the benefit of boosting Strength. Compared to boosting Attack Power, increasing Strength not only raised damage output but also created a suppression effect in combat — even against opponents with higher attack power. A head-on clash would leave them off balance, and an unstable stance in battle often led to critical mistakes. That was why increasing the Strength attribute was better than just boosting Attack Power.
It was a kind of invisible advantage that many players only came to appreciate after playing for a long time.
Shi Feng and Dark Knight Gaia clashed in a furious exchange, and none of the other melee fighters dared to approach. Getting close at this point — unless you were the main tank — meant being taken out in a single hit by Dark Knight Gaia. Only the ranged attackers could safely pour on the damage.
Though Dark Knight Gaia had gone berserk, with Shi Feng's Dragon Power activated, the boss was nothing more than a buffoon — hardly worth mentioning.
Their clash was like two bosses fighting each other. Though Shi Feng's HP was relatively low compared to Dark Knight Gaia's millions of health, it was far too difficult for Gaia to actually land a hit — he was either dodged or blocked, unable to deal any meaningful damage.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng's dual-blade assault sent Dark Knight Gaia staggering back step by step. Over-two-thousand damage numbers popped up one after another, but more often it was crits dealing over four thousand, with a single slash erupting for over six thousand points of damage.
On the other hand, Dark Knight Gaia could only deal a little over two thousand points of damage to Shi Feng at most, making healing trivially easy. With over nineteen thousand HP, there was absolutely no risk of losing aggro — he was far superior to Ke Le, the guild's number one main tank.
After thirty seconds of berserk rage passed, Dark Knight Gaia's power waned. Even with the Blood Rage buff active, it couldn't compare to the ferocity of his berserk state.
The Dragon's Power lasted for two minutes, and there was still a minute and a half remaining.
Without his berserk state, Dark Knight Gaia was like a fangless viper — no longer a threat. Shi Feng pressed him harder and harder, forcing him back four or five steps with every casual swing. The gap between them was staggering.
