Chapter 22: Two Sets of Silver Hero Equipment
The Goblin Wizard suddenly unleashed an AOE magic attack, and a vast rain of fire fell from the sky, directly turning the group of magical Skeletons on the second floor into bone ash!
A single AOE magic attack wiped out 48 Skeleton Apprentices, leaving Zi Liyuan stunned and dumbfounded.
This was the first time Zi Liyuan had seen a BOSS skill with such a wide range of AOE.
Fortunately, more than half of the magical Skeletons were inside the slaughterhouse, with the building blocking the impact of the rain of fire; otherwise, this strike would have likely annihilated the magical Skeleton group.
However, the rain of fire from the Goblin Wizard's spellcasting did not last more than 4 seconds before being forcibly interrupted by the Skeleton Knight using the Charge Skill.
But in those 4 seconds, two waves of rain of fire had fallen.
Zi Liyuan, on the other hand, took two waves of the fire rain attack head-on, resulting in two instances of 400+ damage to him.
Keep in mind, he was equipped with the Silver Sacrificial Set, and his Magical Resistance was as high as 264 points, yet the AOE skill still took nearly 900 hit points from him.
No wonder then, that the magical Skeletons on the second floor were completely wiped out.
After one mishap, Zi Liyuan immediately changed his target; he had originally planned to prioritize killing the Goblin Warriors, then deal with the Goblin Wizard.
But clearly, the Goblin Wizard posed a greater threat to the Skeleton Army than the Goblin Warriors, who just needed to be held off by the expendable Skeletons to prevent any trouble.
After changing his attack target, the Goblin Wizard with only 80k hit points immediately began to struggle.
Any spellcasting that took 3 seconds or longer was sure to be forcibly interrupted by the Skeleton Knights' Charge Skill.
The hundred-plus magical Skeletons, on the other hand, were ready and determined, bombarding the enemy with magic in a manner that suggested they wouldn't stop until he was dead.
As for Zi Liyuan himself, he monitored the two Heroic BOSSes, continuously summoned Skeletons to replenish his losses, and kept using the cooldowns of his skills to hit the Goblin Warriors with them.
He couldn't dare to launch magic attacks on the Goblin Wizard because the wizard's Magic Damage was too high.
An AOE magic attack could deal 400+ damage per second, not to mention single-target magic, which could do even more.
Fireball Technique, Blast Fire Spell, and sequential fireballs, each struck with explosive damage.
If Zi Liyuan were reckless enough to compete in magic with the Goblin Wizard, he would undoubtedly be the one to die!
As Heroic BOSSes, the Goblin Wizard's Magic Resistance was a level higher than the Goblin Priest's, so the magical Skeletons' damage was somewhat lower against him than against the priest.
But there was no withstanding the bombardment from hundreds of magical Skeletons all at once, and thus the wizard's hit points dropped rapidly.
When the Goblin Wizard's hit points fell to 10%, a protective shield made of fire, shaped like an egg, abruptly appeared around the BOSS.
That wasn't all; the appearance of the flame shield increased the damage of the Goblin Wizard's fire spells by 40%, and the most outrageous part was that this flame shield even had the effect of reflecting magic damage!
After a round of magical bombardment by the magical Skeletons, Zi Liyuan watched the damage numbers floating above the heads of a large group of Skeletons around him and nearly dropped his jaw in shock.
The fragile magical Skeletons, with their low hit points, lost a third of their health from one round of reflected magic damage.
However, he did not let the magic bombardment from the Skeleton Mages stop, because the Flame Shield had health points!
Skeletons die and can be resummoned; Zi Liyuan had ample spiritual energy now and it didn't phase him at all.
After all the Skeleton Mages shattered twice, the Goblin Wizard, extremely unwilling, fell amid the magical bombardment.

A complete set of silver hero equipment for a fire-element Mage, four 40-slot blue quality Spatial Backpacks, and six fire-element Mage skill books.
The loot was plentiful, but unfortunately, whether it was equipment or skill books, they all required a fire-element Mage to use or learn.
The only thing that made Zi Liyuan happy was the acquisition of four more Spatial Backpacks.
In total, three Hero BOSSes yielded 12 blue-quality Spatial Backpacks, meaning 480 inventory slots, which completely alleviated Zi Liyuan's concerns about running out of inventory space.
While clearing the battlefield, he directed the Skeleton Army to adjust their direction and start focusing their attacks on the Greater Goblin Warrior.
Compared to the other three Hero BOSSes, this last Greater Goblin Warrior was significantly weaker.
It was helplessly toyed with by the Skeleton Army, utterly lacking any resistance, and was decisively overpowered; it posed no pressure on Zi Liyuan until it died.

The death of the Greater Goblin Warrior signified the completion of the Level 30 hero dungeon, Bloodthirsty Goblin Forest.
What Zi Liyuan needed to do next was simply to destroy the dungeon core, and then he would take control of the dungeon.
As for the location of the dungeon core, Zi Liyuan looked towards the nearby Stone Hall; it was clear that the object the four Hero BOSSes were vying for was this very thing.
Whoever controlled the dungeon core would see a great increase in power and, once the dungeon merged with the real world, would reap even greater benefits.
The clash between the four Hero BOSSes could have potentially resulted in a Lord Level BOSS if any one of them had obtained the dungeon core, but now it served to benefit Zi Liyuan.
After tidying up the battlefield, he led the Skeleton Army to the entrance of the Stone Hall.
In the spacious Stone Hall, in the center floated a blood-red crystal. The rich red light rendered the entire hall into a world of red, and beyond that, the hall was completely empty.
