Chapter 157: Is This Hell Difficulty? Too Easy
Dark Abyss power surged out, bringing forth a large number of monsters.
Their appearance was no different from Abyss demons, each one hideous and terrifying, cruel and bloodthirsty.
The demons either flew in the air or ran on the ground.
They rode on terrifying giant beasts, exuding an imposing aura.
On the human side, career holders met them in battle.
Top career holders over level 70 flew in the air.
More career holders ran on the ground.
"These career holders... something’s not right!"
Lin Moyu looked closer.
The career holders before him were not living people, but shadows.
They seemed somewhat illusory.
Not just the human career holders, but the Abyss demons were the same.
They looked terrifying, but were also somewhat illusory.
The two sides clashed in fierce battle in the central world of alternating black and white.
Almost all Abyss demons could fly. Even those riding giant beasts on the ground could take off at any time.
This put humans at an extreme disadvantage.
As soon as battle was joined, humans fell to a disadvantage.
Suddenly, a mage raised his staff high, "Sky Seal!"
All demons, including the top human experts, fell from the sky.
The sky was empty except for that mage!
He raised his staff high: "Forbidden Spell: Elemental Chaos!"
In an instant, elements went berserk throughout the battlefield.
The entire dungeon world shook, becoming chaotic.
Over a hundred human mages raised their staffs simultaneously, chanting in unison.
Various forbidden spells rained down on the demons.
The demons suffered heavy casualties. At this moment, Demon Kings appeared.
The Demon Kings were enormous, like ancient demon gods. Just standing there they reached the sky, easily hundreds of meters tall.
Their wings flapped, unleashing equally terrifying elemental power that swept across the entire human army.
Forbidden spells collided and exploded, brilliant seven-colored light enveloping the entire dungeon.
A moment later, the light faded. Both humans and demons had vanished.
The central area that had been alternating black and white was now a land of chaotic elements.
Elemental spirits appeared within.
Lin Moyu understood. What he had just seen was a demonstration of the ancient battle.
It showed them the origin of the Elemental Plains.
Of course, this was likely just the tip of the iceberg of that great battle.
Forbidden spells colliding, elements plowing the land.
Ning Yiyi watched in fascination, "Is this the ancient battle from long ago?"
Lin Moyu said softly, "It should be."
The barriers on both paths disappeared simultaneously. Now they had to truly choose one of the two.
Lin Moyu chose the path leading to night without hesitation.
That area was infected by Abyss energy, so Lin Moyu naturally chose that side.
They walked down the mountain path without incident. Only at the foot of the mountain did they see monsters identical to Abyss demons.
Looking out, it was all plains.
No buildings, no obstructions.
In the deepest part of the plains, they could see a giant statue over 100 meters tall.
That was where the dungeon boss was located, the final destination.
This was a special yet simple dungeon divided into three parts.
They just needed to clear out the monsters on the Abyss side to complete the dungeon.
The skeleton warriors had fully recovered after resting.
Lin Moyu summoned all 130 skeleton warriors and 100 skeleton mages.
Facing a level 30 dungeon on Hell difficulty, Lin Moyu didn’t dare be careless.
The difficulty of Hell dungeons was beyond imagination.
Generally, only level 35 teams with top equipment and a full party of 12 would attempt to clear such dungeons.
Lin Moyu was the only one who could solo it at level 26.
The first monster looked somewhat like an Abyss Wolf Demon.
But it was even larger than ones Lin Moyu had seen before. Sitting on a blue wolf, it was over 5 meters tall.
The blue wolf had wings and could take flight at any time.
The skeleton warriors charged in swinging their blades. The skeleton mages released skills simultaneously.
Massive spells rained down, engulfing it.
With a roar, the monster charged out through the spell barrage.
"It’s not dead?"
The focused attack of 100 skeleton mages could heavily injure even a level 40 high-level demon.
But this monster had only taken minor damage.
Detection mixed in with the spells, returning information.
[Battlefield Wolf Demon (Hell-level Elite Monster)]
[Level: 34]
[Strength: 15,000]
[Agility: 10,000]
[Spirit: 10,000]
[Constitution: 15,000]
[Trait: Affected by Abyss energy, defense and vitality enhanced.]
Seeing the Detection information, Lin Moyu understood.
The monsters here were closely related to the Abyss, existing because of Abyss energy.
Though their levels were suppressed and attributes inferior to level 40 high-level demons,
Their traits were very strong.
With both defense and vitality enhanced, they had much stronger combat power.
So even 100 skeleton mages’ focused fire could only injure it, not instantly kill it.
It swung its 3-meter long blade at a skeleton warrior, producing a metallic clash.
The skeleton warrior only paused slightly, not retreating a step.
With the skeleton warriors’ extremely high attributes, as long as the opponent’s attacks didn’t have special effects, there was nothing to fear.
No matter how high your defense or vitality, it was just a matter of hacking a few more times.
The skeleton warriors at the front all burst out skills.
Their glowing red blades fell on it, tearing flesh and skin.
There was no scene of blood spraying. Black mist rose from the wounded areas, dispersing into the air.
The Battlefield Wolf Demon didn’t even seem to feel pain, completely ignoring the attacks landing on its body.
If it were a demon, it would have fled in pain long ago.
Ten skeleton warriors unleashed a round of skills simultaneously as the skeleton mages’ second wave of focused fire arrived.
This time it couldn’t withstand it.
The Battlefield Wolf Demon made a strange sound, like a balloon being popped.
Black mist rose from its entire body as it vanished without a trace.
[Killed Battlefield Wolf Demon, Experience +...]
The experience was very high, much higher than the Hell Outpost dungeon.
It was also twice as high as same-level Abyss demons.
After all, this was a level 30 dungeon on Hell difficulty. Such high experience was appropriate.
Lin Moyu frowned.
"No corpse..."
Like the monsters on the Elemental Plains, there was no corpse. The Corpse Explosion skill was restricted.
Ning Yiyi also frowned, "No corpse, so we can’t explode them."
Lin Moyu nodded, indeed.
But the next second Ning Yiyi smiled, "Then let’s just push through one by one."
Since they couldn’t explode corpses, they’d just fight them one by one.
The moment they stepped into this area, the world was completely enveloped in darkness.
Like a world of night, with no light, visibility became very poor.
All light entering here was devoured by the darkness.
Now the only light sources were the soul fires flickering in the skeletons’ skulls.
Soul Fire rose from Lin Moyu’s hand, illuminating a small area.
Ning Yiyi’s eyes flashed. Her assassin skills had activated.
Assassins were originally elves of the night. Darkness was their best companion.
In Ning Yiyi’s view, the darkness became even more friendly.
"So many monsters!"
Ning Yiyi exclaimed softly.
She saw monsters hidden in the darkness one after another.
Lin Moyu couldn’t see them, "You point, I’ll attack."
"Okay!"
Ning Yiyi responded excitedly.
Since seeing through the Dragon Assassin, she had been like a flower vase, unable to contribute. She didn’t expect to be useful here.
Ning Yiyi pointed out the specific locations of monsters one by one. Lin Moyu immediately sent skeleton warriors to engage in battle.
Though clearing them one by one wasn’t as satisfying as mass killing, it was still efficient and safer.
Lin Moyu also found it easier, not needing to command much.
As long as Ning Yiyi pointed out monster locations, he just needed to send skeletons to kill them.
There were many, many monsters here, densely packed.
Sometimes they would attract several monsters at once, but that just took a bit more effort.
Lin Moyu had discovered that the monsters here were just tougher and had stronger vitality, with nothing else special.
Though both Hell difficulty, this was much simpler than the [Dragon Frontline Outpost] dungeon.
Lin Moyu pushed through, his experience steadily rising.
By the time they were halfway through, Lin Moyu’s experience had reached 99%.
Ning Yiyi was glowing white, having just leveled up.
Ning Yiyi couldn’t help saying, "Is this Hell difficulty? It’s too easy."
