Chapter 379 - 353: Crushing the Spider Demon Pursuers
(Correction to previous errors: assembly of the Crossbow Cannon is 10 minutes, now corrected)
Amidst the blood fog, large groups of red giant spiders the size of dogs emerged, slamming into the Tree Elf Wall with incomparable speed. A great burst of green mist exploded! Meanwhile, the giant spiders in the rear spewed out a vast expanse of white sticky substance, instantly enveloping the Tree Elf Army in green glue.
——System Prompt: Your Tree Elf Army is affected by poison weakness, taking -2 damage, -2 Attack Speed, and losing 1% of health per second!
——System Prompt: Your Tree Elf Army is affected by the Spider Web Binding Effect, -30% Attack Speed, -75% Move Speed, lasting for 1 minute!
——System Prompt: Your Tree Elf Army is experiencing corrosion decay, losing 2 points of health and 1 point of Defense per second! The effect lasts for 1 minute.
——System Prompt: The Spider Demon Army has entered a Frenzy State, increasing Attack Speed by 50%!
Watching the blood-lit giant spiders swell in size, Da Fei’s eyelids twitched in shock! Damn it! The Spider Demon clan really is bizarre, their own effects are on par with a full set of Dark Magic! But I refuse to believe it, if even Elite Tree Spirits can’t withstand them, then who in the world could? If that were the case, wouldn’t the Spider Demons have dominated the world by now?
Hold the line!
——System Prompt: Your Elite Tree Spirit Army enters a Defense Stance, increasing Defense by 50%! In Defense Stance, the Tree Spirits cannot move.
In an instant, the roots of the Tree Elf Wall dug deep into the ground, forming a literal tree wall! This is the Tree Spirits’ despair-inducing Divine Skill, Defense Stance! It boosts the Defense granted by the hero by another 50%! Although the consequence is immobility, Tree Spirits never need to move on the battlefield!
Since we’re already engaged in battle, let’s have a fierce fight! They’re reducing my damage with their special skill, eh? Then I’ll just have to increase my damage. It would be a shame not to use my Vice Hero Ranger’s Hate Strike bonus against Demons, especially when I still have two Skill Books and two attribute points left!
——System Prompt: You’ve used 2 free attribute points, increasing your Attack by 2, your Strategic Attack is now 60 points.
——System Prompt: You’ve used 2 Skill Books, gaining two Skill Points!
Then, Da Fei immediately whipped out the Attack Skill textbook, and with two flashes of golden light!
——System Prompt: You’ve used 2 Skill Points to upgrade your Attack Skill to Advanced Attack Skill, increasing your army’s Physical Damage by 30%!
What an event for my domain! For this battle, I threw in all 7 Skill Books I had been saving! At first, I even planned to reserve them for my Vice Hero! Now I must win! Hold on for one minute!
Da Fei was grinding his teeth, sweating profusely as he hastily assembled the Crossbow Cannon. This time, without any ranged units, without Selvia’s and Anlicia’s powerful Magic, the only thing I could rely on was the Master-level Crossbow Cannon!
And just then, a faint green glow covered the Tree Elf Army!
——System Prompt: Your consultant Tai Da has cast the Great Revitalization Technique on the Tree Elf Army, recovering 1 point of health every second!
Ooh la la! Don’t I have an NPC consultant who can cast spells? Haha! Good! I still have something to rely on. As the saying goes, even a little breeze can aid a fart; this regeneration of 1 health point per second is quite powerful for both low-level units with less health and high-defense units that are super durable! Not to mention that Tree Spirits have their own Divine Skills for regeneration! Alright, all the Tree Spirit skills are Divine Skills! If Tree Spirits weren’t divine, the frail and few-breeding Elf Clan would have been annihilated long ago in the Forest of the Multitudes.
Another golden light shone on the Tree Elf Army!
——System Prompt: Your consultant Tai Da has released the Thorns Skill on the Tree Elf Army, causing the enemy’s attacks on the Tree Elf Army to be rebounded by 1 point of fixed damage. (Note: Fixed damage is a set value and cannot be reduced by Defense or Magic Resistance)
Da Fei’s brows twitched. Thorns Skill? Rebound fixed damage? Damn! That doesn’t seem like a spell from the player’s textbook, does it? A hidden spell? A unique spell for NPCs? Damn! My consultant might not be high-level, but he’s got some tricks up his sleeve! Now that the enemy’s Attack Speed has increased due to frenzy, and our already low-Attack Speed Tree Spirits have slowed even more, it has almost become a one-sided beating. But with this Thorns Skill rebounding, the faster the enemy attacks, the more damage they inflict upon themselves! Good! Good! This Thorns Skill couldn’t have come at a better time; I’m not fighting alone!
And at that moment, Tai Da said, panting, "Lord City Lord, I can only help you this much. If I cast any more spells, I won’t be able to open the spatial portal."
Damn! Why do you falter at praise? Just when you were doing well, you can’t anymore! Well, after all, you’re not a Vice Hero; I never had much hope for you in the first place.
Da Fei calmly responded: "You did well, leave the rest to me."
As 10 seconds passed, the first wave of the vanguard all fell at the roots of the Tree Spirits. After 30 seconds, a small mountain of spider corpses piled up under the Tree Spirits’ feet, and the BOSS remained quietly in the rear without any action. It seems that the Spider Demon Heroes do not possess magic. Their strength relies solely on their racial special skills.
Good, it’s a contest of special skills. Who’s afraid of who?
seconds! The third wave of spiders fell, and by this time, the Tree Elf Army had lost nearly half their health! I must admit, the attacks from the Spider Demon Hero and their army are very powerful! Ordinary Tree Spirits wouldn’t last past the second wave! Luckily, my Tree Spirits are no ordinary ones! And at this moment, Da Fei’s Crossbow Cannon was in the final sprint phase. I can win, I can!
At 50 seconds, when the fourth wave of the Spider Demon Army fell before the Tree Elf Wall, the BOSS finally could not sit still: "You have greatly overdrawn my patience, to death with you!"
The BOSS moved! That huge body, like a tank, rushed over rapidly!
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat, the commander was charging!
And just then—
——System Prompt: Your crossbow cannon is assembled. Please load it immediately and join the battle!
Oh yeah! Assembly complete! Crap! Gotta load the damn thing!
It’s close! The boss’s incredibly domineering massive body, those horrific giant venomous pincers lunging at me——Boom!!!
With a colossal rumble, the Tree Spirit that was hit immediately lost all its health and was uprooted and sent flying! The ironclad Tree Elf Wall finally had a breach blasted open!
——System Prompt: Spider Demon Hero Nakasha has brutally charged at your Tree Elf Army, killing 1 Elite Tree Spirit! You’ve lost 10 units of rare wood!
Da Fei’s eyes shrank in shock! Damn! Even if the Tree Spirits were only at half-health, they still had 300 HP and 150 Defense, far surpassing the standard of ordinary level 7 soldiers. Just how formidable is this boss’s attack?
And at that moment, Tai Da exclaimed in alarm: "Once our defense opens up a gap, the ordinary Woodcutters will suffer heavy losses!"
Yes! Already lost 10 units of rare wood! Can’t afford to lose more!
At this very moment, without a second thought, Da Fei shouted: "All workers clear out, I’ll challenge him one-on-one!"
The Spider Demon Hero shook its head, its terrifying eight massive compound eyes glowing red like eight car headlights, all focused on Da Fei: "You want to die, I shall grant it!"
——System Prompt: Your crossbow cannon is loaded!
Finally it’s loaded, bring it on! My crossbow cannon is thirsty for battle! You’ve got the guts to one-shot my half-dead Tree Spirits, you got the guts to take on my Master-level full-health crossbow cannon?!
Aiming at your bug head! I’m going for a point-blank extreme kill!
Boom! The ground once again roared with the rumble of the Spider Demon Hero’s charge! And at that moment, Da Fei, with full concentration, firmly pressed on the crossbow’s trigger!
It’s close! Such a big bug head!
——System Prompt: You’ve used the Master-level Luck Skill sub-skill "Lucky Hand!"
A rainbow light soared up from above Da Fei’s head! That’s right, I no longer have the Invincible Luck of divine artifacts, but I still have the Master-level Luck "Lucky Hand" which can only be used once a day, and the next attack is guaranteed to hit!
Fire! Da Fei fiercely pressed on the trigger!
——Boom crack! The first Rainbow Arrow whistled out! Bang! "-654!" Amidst a spray of blood, the boss’s charge momentum suddenly halted!
——Boom crack!! The second Rainbow Arrow followed closely behind! Bang!! "-714," flesh and Blood Armor flew everywhere, and the boss’s massive body was blown back!
——Boom crack!!! The third Rainbow Arrow! Boom!!! "-552," The boss’s massive body exploded violently!
Got it?! Da Fei’s eyes widened in excitement, waiting for the System Prompt to confirm the kill!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated the Spider Demon Hero Nakasha, you’ve achieved victory in the battle, you gain +320,000 Experience, and the spoils of war: B-level strategic treasure "Spider Demon Boots". Your reputation among the Spider Demon clan -5000.
——Spider Demon Boots: B-level strategic treasure, footwear equipment slot, whole army Defense +1, whole army Life +1, 30% reduction in slowing and binding magic effects.
——System Prompt: You have already obtained the B-level strategic treasure "Spider Demon Armor," "Spider Demon Boots," forming a two-piece set of the Spider Demon Set, earning additional attribute rewards, Defense +3. Collecting more pieces of the Spider Demon Set will further increase bonus attributes.
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You’ve achieved "Victory in the 13th Battle," earning +10 Command Power.
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You’ve achieved "Victory in the 7th Glorious Battle," earning +20 Command Power, +20 Personal Life.
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You’ve leveled up to 39! You gain +1 free attribute point, +1 Skill Point, +2 Life, +1 Command Power, Ranger profession grants additional +1 Attack...
Oh yeah! Victory! Da Fei excitedly let out a loud cheer and laughed! Heroes are indeed heroes; their growth follows a pattern. Having 1,2000 HP means a badass existence. But after all, it’s just 1,2000 HP, nothing compared to various unreasonable Baron Nash-type bosses that have who knows how many tens of thousands of HP! How dare they lead a charge? One-shots you, as expected, wahahaha!
And as the Spider Demon Hero falls, the Spider Demon Army on the plains dissipates with the blood mist in an instant.
Advisor Tai Da excitedly stepped forward: "Lord City Lord, your wisdom and martial prowess have secured such a significant victory with minimal losses. The dimension is about to collapse, let’s retreat now!"
Da Fei laughed: "No rush, I saw something that looked like a treasure by the tree roots, let’s search for it!"(To be continued.
