### Chapter 54: The Siege Boss Was Killed by Me
"There are three 2s below the grids from 1×7 to 1×9. It's tough to figure out which two have mushrooms."
"The mushrooms in the area of 16×14 have reset, so we have to re-explore it."
"Damn! What a tricky blow dart!"
Su Yu sprinted across the expansive lawn at top speed, carefully probing for spaces without mushrooms and marking those with mushrooms using red flags.
After the classic "Minesweeper" was reimagined as a 3D live-action version called "Mushroom Array," the challenge escalated dramatically. Players could no longer see the overall layout, and Teemo periodically reset the mushroom arrangements in small areas, complicating matters for Su Yu.
His heart raced with tension as he focused intently on the "mushroom formation," dedicating even more energy to this task than he had during the encounter with the **Wolf King of the Howling Moon**.
Fortunately, with his enhanced speed, navigating through the boss's mechanics felt manageable, something he doubted would have been possible otherwise.
Amumu, however, was not participating in the exploration. Upon spotting Teemo, he stormed forward in a fit of rage.
"Teemo, you must die!" Amumu's yellow eyes glowed red with fury.
Teemo lounged in the grass, chewing on some foliage. He glanced at Amumu with indifference and scoffed, "Many have wanted me dead! But how old are you? If you truly want to kill me, you'll need to get past my mushroom formation first!"
With that, Teemo took out his blowpipe, puffed up his cheeks, and fired a dart at Su Yu. Simultaneously, he threw a large green mushroom into the field, altering the arrangement of mushrooms in the area.
The dart was incredibly swift—almost invisible to the naked eye. In the instant Teemo raised the blowpipe, Su Yu reacted, activating his **[Blink Technique]** just in time to dodge the projectile.
Teemo instantly vanished from sight after firing the dart, making him untouchable by Amumu's attacks.
"Come on, Adventurer! Break his mushroom formation and show him what we're made of!" Amumu shouted, desperation in his voice.
Suddenly, a golden light emanated from Amumu, enveloping Su Yu.
**[Amumu's Blessing]: Movement Speed +20%**
This buff was advantageous for Su Yu, but the increase in speed caught him off guard. He nearly lost control and stepped onto a mushroom grid ahead.
"Stop giving random buffs!" Su Yu yelled, irritation bubbling up.
He didn't have time to lecture Amumu, though; he needed to keep working to dismantle the mushroom formation.
Finally, at 9 minutes and 25 seconds, Su Yu stepped on the last numbered grid that did not contain a mushroom.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the mushrooms in the array detonated simultaneously, releasing a green poisonous mist that enveloped the lawn.
Fortunately, Su Yu stood on a grid free of mushrooms, so he remained unscathed by the toxic clouds.
Teemo's invisibility dissipated as a result of the explosions.
Amumu seized Teemo by the collar, fury evident in his demeanor. "You thief! Give me back my Annie!"
"Annie?" Teemo replied, confusion etched across his face. "I don't like Annie; I like Tristana!"
"What—?" Amumu roared in despair, his dreams shattered as the dungeon concluded.
"Finally over!" Su Yu panted, relief flooding through him.
If not for his resolve, he might have collapsed right there on the ground.
"It's exhausting to tackle the duties of five players alone! Next time, I need to find some allies to help with the dungeon!"
After clearing the dungeon, the system prompt chimed:
"It has been detected that you are the first player to clear the level 10 dungeon, earning you 1 point of World Reputation. A full server announcement will be made shortly; do you wish to remain anonymous?"
"Not anonymous."
**[Full Server Announcement: Player Nemesis has successfully cleared the level 10 five-player dungeon, [The Death of Amumu]. As the first player to clear this dungeon, you will be rewarded with 1 point of World Reputation.]**
**[Full Server Announcement: Player Nemesis has successfully cleared the level 10 five-player dungeon, [The Death of Amumu]. As the first player to clear this dungeon, you will be rewarded with 1 point of World Reputation.]**
**[Full Server Announcement: Player Nemesis...]**
This time, the full server announcement echoed through every corner of the game, ringing three times in the ears of all players.
However, unlike the uproar generated by the previous announcement, this one landed with a dampened reception.
In the level 8 monster area of the No. 2 Novice Village, players had gathered, taking a moment to reflect.
"The Nemesis actually cleared a dungeon for the first time?"
"Yeah! And it's a level 10 dungeon. I haven't even managed to clear the level 5 one yet."
"I barely scraped through the simplest [Thunder Bluff] at level 6, and it took me almost 20 tries!"
"Yet the Nemesis did it solo!"
"Who could deny that? I think we're not even playing the same game."
"After the first clear of the dungeon, you'll get a chance for a 'big speaker' announcement. Let's hear what the boss has to say."
A wave of disheartened murmurs spread among the players.
Only after facing the challenges of the level 5 dungeon did they grasp the level of difficulty involved and how vast the gap was between them and Nemesis.
Now, Nemesis was conquering level 10 dungeons solo...
"Forget it, let him be the pervert," they lamented, shaking their heads.
After a few seconds of silence, a familiar voice broke through, capturing everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone! I'm the Nemesis."
"Time is limited, so I'll get straight to the point—three things."
"First, I killed the siege boss of No. 6 Novice Village. While I was leveling in the Wolf King Valley, I encountered the **Howling Moon Wolf King**. Since I had nothing better to do, I casually took it down."
Su Yu paused, giving the players a moment to absorb his words.
In the gathered crowd, a hush fell—a moment of disbelief hung in the air.
Then, pandemonium erupted.
"What the hell? You killed the first Wolf King?!"
"What does he mean 'casually killed it'? That's a siege boss with 140,000 HP!"
"Yes! And if I recall, the **Howling Moon Wolf King** has a dozen younger brothers, each at boss level!"
"Totally bowing down to the Nemesis! His power has surpassed anything we could ever fathom!"
"I remember just the day before yesterday, the Nemesis was taking on 100 enemies solo. I'm afraid he can take on 10,000 now!"
The players were in a frenzy, disbelief mingled with awe.
Many stood frozen, struggling to process what they had just heard.
Yet deep down, they sensed that Nemesis was not lying; his power truly seemed to be unfathomable!
