When the Stronghold Leader's Health fell below fifty thousand, he once again went into a rage, entering his third phase. In addition to all his attributes improving, his form became even more terrifying.
By this time, the effect of 'Mei · Noble and Righteous' was barely holding up. The Stronghold Leader had evolved to deal multi-hit damage—ten strikes per second—which meant that 50% of the player's damage reduction was now being bypassed.
Fortunately, the Saint Master himself was strong enough. His own recovery ability, combined with the effects of the five mission items, the Four Gentlemen Wine, and the Health-leeching effect of Soul Absorption, allowed him to stand firm without dying. Any other Player, even if they had managed to reach this stage, would likely have been killed due to insufficient personal attributes.
