Chapter 196: Chapter 185: Killing Four Lord Bosses in a Sneaky Attack_2
This time, Zi Liyuan didn’t make excessive use of the Corpse Explosion Technique to clear out the minor BOSSes; instead, he allowed No. 2 and Shen Yurou to step in and slowly erode these minor BOSSes.
At the same time, Lao Tie stealthily infiltrated the position at the entrance gate. When a Doomsday Guardian was about to pass by him,
his iron palm slapped onto it, then forcibly dragged a Doomsday Guardian into the midst of the zombies.
The slapping sound of “pap pap pap”, the intimate caress of fist to flesh, the bloodied holes punched out by sharp fists, and the frenzied thrusting of spider claws.
A towering Doomsday Guardian was thoroughly dealt with by Lao Tie, ridden from start to finish, and beaten into a meat patty on top of him.
Even though Lao Tie had exceptionally high resistance and attack power, his health was far too low; even with a shield, his total health wasn’t even half a million.
In the face of those terrifying monsters, Lao Tie, with such a small amount of health, simply didn’t dare to engage in close combat.
This shortcoming in health meant that Lao Tie could, at best, perform at eighty percent of his capability.
Charging, attacking, wailing, roaring, the battlefield was incessant.
“These four guys, they seem hesitant to enter the palace. We can’t just keep stalling like this, can we?”
While using Shen Yurou’s provided sniper rifle, No. 2 also reloaded the firearm with ammunition.
“The front of the castle has been invaded, a large number of demons have been mobilized to guard it. We sneaked quietly inside, starting directly from the upper-class nobility demons, inevitably enraging these powerful demon BOSSes. They definitely won’t let us go, and are probably discussing countermeasures as we speak.”
Zi Liyuan had the right idea; at this moment inside the Abyssal Castle, a group of Lord Bosses had begun to rally, except for a few leading the Demon Army to support the front, the rest were all sitting together.
Everyone was just working for a living; you went straight for the big boss’ troubles, why should these wage slaves leave their lives behind?
If it wasn’t for the higher-ranking demons enslaving the lower-ranking demons, holding these Lord Bosses in their grasp, perhaps the moment the castle was invaded, the Lord Bosses would have just grabbed their buckets and run off.
Demons of the abyss, after all, were not good creatures, and each one was extremely greedy and had a very strong pursuit of power.
But in the face of a clearly unbeatable situation, they were not about to go and get themselves killed.
Therefore, Zi Liyuan began to act, luring these four Lord Bosses, even including those who would arrive later, into this palace.
The zombies were manipulated into a gradual retreat, and even a hundred rare-class Zombie Bosses were dispatched, just to hold back the charging Doomsday Guardians.
The only strong point on the field was the Spider Queen herself.
This king truly would fight to the death without retreat. Even if her surroundings were completely overrun by the Demon Army, and a dozen Doomsday Guardians were beating her up, she still stood unwavering like a stabilizing pin in water, not budging an inch.
Watching the demon army push through the palace gates and the zombies being forced back, the four Lord Bosses glanced at each other and slowly approached the palace entrance.
The four Lao Tie didn’t want to become the target of attacks at all, especially inside the palace where the Spider Queen and the human-faced Demon Spider were both present.
Legend and Epic, indeed, it was the suppression by template and bloodline that made them extremely uncomfortable.
Just then, Shen Yurou and No. 2, with two guns in each of their hands, opened fire in dual-wield, sniping at the four Lord Bosses who hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
The bullets transformed into afterimages, instantly burying themselves into the foreheads of the four BOSSes.
Unfortunately, the skulls of the demon BOSSes were truly hard; the bullets could only break through the demon skin and then got stuck in their skulls, unable to penetrate any further.
However, the provoking nature of the two’s sniping successfully enraged the four Lord Bosses.
Third Order beings not yet at their peak, dares to challenge abyss demons like them? It was simply a lack of respect. Therefore, they must eliminate these two female primates and extract their souls to make soul lanterns!
After exchanging glances, the four fellas made a critical decision.
Four shadows dashed past the obstructing Demon Army, appearing directly at the entrance of the palace, then plunged inside, splitting left and right to quickly bypass where the Spider Queen was, heading straight for Shen Yurou and No. 2’s location.
And then…
A booming explosion, the rampant spread of death energy; the entire gate entrance was enveloped in a domain of death. Except for the Spider Queen, in just the span of a few breaths, everything had ended.
Four intact corpses of the Lord Bosses, with eerie smiles still on their faces, lay motionless on the ground, having departed from this world.
At the same time, Zi Liyuan quickly banished the Spider Queen, throwing her into the unique death space reserved for resurrecting monsters.
It should be noted, the materials from these ten Lord Boss corpses were all carefully selected by him, each one an LV80 Boss with health over 10 million.
The Corpse Explosion Technique could cause physical damage equal to 60% of the monster’s total health, meaning a single corpse could deal over 6 million in damage.
The four sly Lord Bosses, especially the longest serpentine one, had no more than 55 million health, how could they withstand ten barrages of the Corpse Explosion Technique?
“Brother Zi, mighty!”
Wang Fatty, who had been somewhat anxious, now cheered exuberantly.
“From now on, when encountering a Necromancer or Undead Mage, one must be extremely cautious, and never fall prey to their schemes.”
Having nearly instant-killed the four Lord Bosses, Number Two was shocked and also felt a surge of fear.
At the same time, he resolved that after officially getting settled, he must acquire items that could immunize against the damage from the Corpse Explosion Technique as soon as possible.
Too insecure!
“Corpse Explosion Technique, huh? It’s all about using high-end ingredients. As long as they’re high enough quality, catching the unsuspecting off guard can instantly change the situation. It’s truly quite effortless.”
After dispatching the Spider Queen, Zi Liyuan immediately stepped forward to check the loot dropped by the four Lord Bosses.
Sure enough, it was silver hero equipment, four Bosses giving him four sets.
After examining the properties set by set, Zi Liyuan felt a tangle of conflict inside him.
Two sets were for melee combat, one with very balanced attributes, neither remarkable nor weak, while the other was an assassin class equipment set, being the creme de la creme of LV90 silver sets.
The other two sets were for mages, one biased towards fire, while another was geared toward poison.
The poison set had better attributes than what Zi Liyuan was currently wearing, but the Necromancer’s poison spells weren’t many, plus the Nether Crystal Core couldn’t yet be modified or enhanced, so poison wasn’t his main focus.
This set, for him, was better than nothing and could be used for stacking attributes in the future.
Of course, that would be unless Zi Liyuan obtained better equipment beforehand; otherwise, this set might end up stored away or even sold.
“Six Lord Bosses down, and not a single set of equipment to enhance my strength. This is way too pitiful.”
Lord Zi complained while he collected the corpses of the four Lord Bosses and occasionally commanded Lao Tie and the human-faced Demon Spiders to attack the few remaining Doomsday Guardian mini Bosses.
Just a wave of the Corpse Explosion Technique had cleaned out all the monsters within a twenty-meter radius of the gate.
At this moment, Wang Fatty and his pet Boss team were directly blocking the entrance, serving as a roadblock.
Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan controlled the Zombie army, which surged forward, encircling and panicking the already terrified Demon Army.
Their four leaders had been collectively taken down, and the highest-ranking Doomsday Guardians left above them were also at death’s door, barely clinging to life and likely to be slain on the spot.
The Demon Army that had invaded the palace fell into fear, who would expect the human Mage to be so vicious?
Who could believe it? In just an instant, four commanding lords had been wiped out.
They died so casually, so peacefully. Could this not bring about the collapse of their demonic subordinates?
One side began to scatter in every direction, completely losing the will to resist, while the other side, undaunted by death, bravely continued the encirclement.
This palace extermination campaign soon drew to a close.
After clearing the battlefield and packing up all the corpses, the four of them stepped out of the palace with cold determination.
Outside the palace, where a large group of demons had once gathered, was now completely deserted.
Why not run instead of waiting for death?
They were all just working stiffs; why push their luck so far?
