When Jeremy saw that a portion of The chanical Duke's high-dinsional data had been absorbed into the data core, he felt a surge of victory within the battle.
However, he received no notification from The Eye of Omniscience, nor did he get any indication that The Iron Lair instance was about to close. This clearly ant that he had not yet defeated The chanical Duke.
Enduring the intense headache, Jeremy ticulously examined the surroundings.
He imdiately noticed that a portion of The chanical Duke's high-dinsional data had escaped. Moreover, this escaped high-dinsional data had infiltrated other chanical monsters.
These newly empowered chanical monsters were mostly clustered around Bonnie and the others.
"Be careful! These chanical monsters have been enhanced, you stand no chance against them!"
Realizing the peril that Bonnie and the others were in, Jeremy shouted at the top of his lungs in their direction.
Jeremy's warning made Bonnie understand that she could no longer remain where she was. She imdiately brandished her staff and summoned a blizzard.
Although the blizzard did not eliminate the enhanced chanical monsters, it successfully slowed them down.
Seizing the opportunity presented by the slowed chanical monsters, Bonnie swiftly led Emma and Claire toward Jeremy's position.
"With the chanical monsters enhanced, we are no match for them. Our only option now is to regroup with Jeremy."
Bonnie quickly explained to Emma and Claire why she was taking this course of action.
In fact, she didn't need to explain much, as Emma and Claire were already completely bewildered by the recent battle.
At this mont, all Emma and Claire could do was follow along with the others.
Seeing that Bonnie and the others were temporarily out of danger, Jeremy felt a bit more at ease.
However, Jeremy still faced a significant problem. He needed to locate The chanical Duke's core once again.
Finding The chanical Duke's core earlier had already drained all his ntal energy. He had no capacity left to activate his chanical Puppet Technique again.
"What should I do now? The chanical Duke can actually split itself into two parts. Does that an even if I find The chanical Duke's core again, it can still escape by discarding part of its high-dinsional data?"
"Wouldn't that render The chanical Duke an utterly invincible instance boss? How could there possibly be an instance with no conceivable way to clear it?"
All these perplexing questions swirled incessantly in Jeremy's mind.
Furthermore, he was currently enduring a searing headache, a direct consequence of his depleted ntal energy. He found it utterly impossible to focus his thoughts on devising a plan to escape The Iron Lair instance.
When Bonnie and the others arrived by Jeremy's side, they imdiately noticed sothing wrong with him.
"What's wrong with you? You look like you're in a lot of pain. Did you suffer a severe blow from the instance boss during the battle?"
Bonnie hurriedly inquired of Jeremy, her voice tinged with concern.
Jeremy, his face contorted in agony, shook his head in response.
Claire and Emma, both equally concerned for Jeremy's well-being, imdiately began administering healing upon witnessing the distress etched across his features.
Claire had awakened a talent related to ntal abilities, so she used her skill to soothe Jeremy's ntal state. Under Claire's soothing, Jeremy's headache lessened sowhat.
Emma, who had awakened a talent related to life, instinctively tried to heal Jeremy's injuries with her healing skills.
However, Emma's healing had no effect because Jeremy hadn't actually sustained any physical injuries during the battle.
"I wasn't injured in the fight with the instance boss. The instance boss isn't a physical entity, it's a data lifeform composed entirely of high-dinsional data." discover-stories-MVLeMpYr
"Although I managed to absorb most of the instance boss's high-dinsional data into the data core, the boss still succeeded in splitting off a portion of its data."
"The chanical monsters rushing toward us right now contain the instance boss's high-dinsional data. We need to eliminate all these monsters and absorb their internal high-dinsional data into the data core."
"We have finally and truly defeated the instance boss of The Iron Lair!"
Jeremy proclaid, seizing the mont when his headache had montarily subsided, and he divulged every piece of information he possessed in one breath.
Upon hearing his declaration, Bonnie and the others exchanged looks, their faces awash with palpable anxiety.
Given Jeremy's description, they felt that the instance boss was nearly unbeatable. After all, high-dinsional data is almost infinitely divisible.
After finishing his explanation, Jeremy's headache beca excruciating again. The intense pain rendered Jeremy incapable of continuing the fight, leaving him to rely on Bonnie and the others to buy him so ti.
"My head is hurting too much right now, you must provide with so assistance! I need you to buy a few minutes so I can recalibrate myself!" Jeremy pleaded, his voice strained with desperation.
Since Jeremy had already laid it out so plainly, Bonnie had no intention of delaying any further.
Bonnie imdiately turned her gaze toward Claire and Emma, her eyes filled with determination: "The two of us must take on the responsibility of fending off the chanical monsters' attacks. Emma, you will be in charge of providing healing to both of us."
Despite being the youngest among them, aside from Jeremy, Bonnie's resolve was unwavering and clear to all.
Although Bonnie was the youngest among them, aside from Jeremy, she took charge and laid out the battle plan when danger lood.
Claire and Emma had no objections. They felt Bonnie's plan was flawless.
Claire's talent was in the ntal realm, but she still possessed so combat abilities.
Emma's talent was in healing, so she had no combat abilities at all. Placing Emma behind them to provide support was the best arrangent.
After organizing everything, Bonnie wielded her staff and unleashed two frost spells.
One icy blade after another flew out from the void. These ice blades dealt significant damage, but their slowing effect was not as pronounced.
With Claire's assistance, Bonnie successfully prevented the surrounding chanical monsters from closing in.
However, Bonnie knew that as ti went on, the threat posed by the chanical monsters would only grow. To ultimately defeat these chanical monsters, they would have to rely on Jeremy.
At this mont, Jeremy was concentrating intensely, trying to alleviate his headache.
Emma was by his side, continuously offering her support. However, Emma's skills were ineffective in alleviating Jeremy's headache.
Despite the excruciating pain, Jeremy pondered everything he had experienced since entering The Iron Lair instance.
After so reflection, Jeremy suddenly felt that his strategy for clearing the instance might be flawed.
The cues from The Eye of Omniscience explicitly stated that only by locating The chanical Duke's true form could they defeat The chanical Duke.
Jeremy theorized that The chanical Duke's true form was its high-dinsional data.
However, up until now, Jeremy had not discovered a thod to eliminate high-dinsional data. Furthermore, The chanical Duke could infinitely partition its high-dinsional data.
Moreover, as The chanical Duke continued to stall for ti, the Data Erosion affecting Jeremy and his companions would beco increasingly severe. Eventually, Jeremy and the others would be transford into chanical monsters before they could defeat The chanical Duke.
Jeremy realized that following this line of thought would never lead to a successful completion of the instance, thus, he needed to devise a new strategy for clearing it.
In that instant of realization, Jeremy instinctively glanced up at the topmost part of the tower.
He suddenly noticed that the ethereal Portal at the tower's peak still existed, and so high-dinsional data was flowing through the ethereal Portal into The Iron Lair instance.
At this mont, a sudden spark of inspiration illuminated Jeremy's mind.
"What if The chanical Duke's core isn't in the instance at all? What if The chanical Duke's core has always been hiding behind the ethereal Portal?"
At the very mont this possibility struck him, Jeremy instantly took out the data core.
He observed that the connection between the data core and the chanical monsters besieging their group was not particularly strong. However, the connection between the data core and the ethereal Portal atop the tower was exceedingly tight.
One must understand that the data core contained the vast majority of The chanical Duke's high-dinsional data.
This indirectly confird that The chanical Duke's core was not within The Iron Lair instance. Their goal was not to destroy The chanical Duke's core but to find a way to close the ethereal Portal.
As Jeremy reached this revelation, Bonnie and Claire could no longer fend off the chanical monsters' assault.
Bonnie turned back and shouted loudly in Jeremy's direction.
"We can't hold off the enemy's attack any longer! If you don't act now, we'll be annihilated by the chanical monsters!"
Bonnie's words threw Emma and Claire into a state of panic. Like Bonnie, they turned their eyes to Jeremy. Only Jeremy could save them now.
At this mont, Jeremy had a brand-new strategy in mind. A faint smile played on his lips as he opened his eyes, which had been tightly shut due to the excruciating headache.
