Chapter 644 - 607 Big Ice Seal Skill and Blast Skill
The six-headed snake, Da Fei did not know how powerful it was. But Da Fei knew how powerful the Hydra was. Had it not been for adequate preparation and the simultaneous use of Divine Artifacts and skills, even without being obliterated instantly, at the very least, he would have been turned into a laughingstock. That battle, the cannon fodder played a huge role.
Therefore, in the face of the six-headed snake, Da Fei’s first step was to adopt a most reliable cannon fodder attrition strategy. Brother had more than three thousand Demon Child cannon fodder, as long as they drained its Mana completely, even if just standing there letting it attack until it’s worn out, right? Moreover, these three thousand Demon Children weren’t ordinary Demon Children; they were enhanced to Level 3 Soldier standards with my incredible army attribute bonuses, not to mention my sky-high Attack and Defense!
Let’s see how a battlefield BOSS deals with over three thousand Level 3 Soldiers!
Now, the first wave of 100 Demon Children charged ahead. Da Fei wanted to first test the strength of this BOSS. If it had a large-area lethal ultimate move, Da Fei could fight while retreating and send in the cannon fodder. In any case, the main output would be Alina’s cannon.
—System Prompt: Your 100 Demon Children used the "Magic Stealing" skill to steal 25 points of Mana from the six-headed snake!
—System Prompt: 19 of your Demon Children fell into the Death Swamp, and you lost 17 Demon Children!
Damn! They lost a fifth of their numbers before they even got close!
They got closer, the first wave of Demon Child troops met the massive misty heap that was spewing clouds and smoke, and then, nothing; the meat mountain continued to advance!
—System Prompt: Your 71 Demon Child troops were crushed by the six-headed snake, you lost 71 Demon Children!
Da Fei’s jaw hit the floor! Crushed, stomped like ants by the six-headed snake! This was the enormous advantage of super-large-sized creatures over small-sized ones; they didn’t need to make moves. They just walked over and crushed everything in their path!
Generally speaking, the size of regular troop types fell into three categories: small, medium, and large. Pikesmen, archers, and Secret Archers were all small-sized human-shaped troops. Centaurs, cavalry, Beastman Berserkers, Unicorns, and Griffins were medium-sized. Tree Spirits, Green Dragons, Angels, Demons, Ghost Dragons, Titans, and One-eyed Giants were large-sized. Indeed, the beautiful and noble Angel Girls were large-sized, with very, very big chests! You could cool off and hide from the rain under their skirts and gaze up at the sky!
In any case, the larger the troop size, the more easily it could stun or knock down small-sized troops; furthermore, large-sized creatures usually came with skills like collision and sweeping specifically targeting small-sized troops. And precisely because large-sized troops possessed such formidable combat power, the advanced troops of each race were usually medium to large-sized. Of course, the Beastman Race’s Level 2 Soldier, the Centaur, was an exception. Speaking of which, the Beastman Race’s Level 3 Soldier, the Wolf Rider, was actually a goblin riding a wolf, making it the only small-sized cavalry.
In actuality, the size of Demon Children, Flower Demons, Goblins, and the Mage Academy’s Level 1 Soldiers, the great fairies, were only half that of a human, at the level of Hobbits. Although they were also defined as small-sized, when attacked by large-sized creatures, they clearly suffered more than pike men or skeletons.
And above large size, only on BOSS units, there were giant sizes, and the super-giant sizes like the six-headed and nine-headed snakes with writhing meat mountains! The great size disparity between such super-giant creatures and Demon Children wasn’t merely about stunning or knocking down; it was just one stomp to crush them!
If that was the case, having three thousand Demon Children wasn’t going to help, even if there were ten thousand Demon Children rolling about; more cannon fodder wouldn’t be able to trap or block it. A super BOSS wasn’t something that could be piled up and taken down by sheer numbers of cannon fodder!
And on a mere duel arena, why would there be a BOSS of such specifications?
Da Fei couldn’t afford to be shocked, nor to regret not bringing an Earth Element BOSS along. As the six-headed snake closed in, Da Fei had to make a decisive call on how to fight.
Damn it! Even if it was crushing, it still cost Stamina and slowed its advance. My 3000 Demon Children would give it enough to crush!
Da Fei waved his hand, and the entire Demon Child force rushed forward like a sea of blood-red screams! Then there was Elena’s cannon, and the Druid’s little cannon! Right, and Serbia’s ultimate skill was there to use anyway! Ah, a hassle indeed; all Vice Heroes, all troops, automatic battle mode on, I’m going all out with you!
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Selvia, used the Master-level Meditation Skill "Magic Coordination" on the Druid troops, temporarily increasing their Magic Power by 1.
Boom! Boom! Thunder rolled across the sky as dozens of bolts of lightning flashed in the fog! "-117!" "-2412!" "Elemental Chain Damage -431!"
Da Fei’s eyelid twitched! -107? -2412? Were those the respective damages from 50 Druids and Elena? Even though knowing that Elena now singlehandedly equaled two or three hundred Druids, this massive difference and unusual damage figures left Da Fei, familiar with Elena’s damage, in utter disbelief!
Da Fei hurriedly checked the battle information:
—System Prompt: Your Druid troops dealt damage to the six-headed snake using the Advanced Lightning Technique, causing 107 points of damage!
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Elena, used God-level Destruction Magic Strong Lightning Skill to deal 2412 points of damage to the six-headed snake. The six-headed snake was affected by the Lightning Master’s Thunder Paralysis Effect, slowing it down.
What the hell! This wasn’t right!
The Druids, touted as God-level Monsters, came with Advanced Destruction Magic’s Lightning Skill, with Lightning damage = 32 + 15×Magic Power. After adding the 1 point of temporary Magic Power, it should result in 47 points of damage, making 50 Druids inflict 2350 damage! But in reality, they only dealt a hundred or so points of damage. What did this indicate? That the six-headed snake had 95% Magic Resistance? Was this some kind of joke, even the Hydra didn’t have such high resistance?
Looking at Elena’s, God-level Lightning Skill damage = 128 + 16×Magic Power, with Elena currently having 236 Magic Power, making the Lightning damage 3904! Then with the Dark Elf’s Professional Skill Strong Magic doubling the magic consumption to enhance the Spell power by 50%, it amounted to 5856! And then, this 5856 damage was further increased by +20% Lightning Power from the Thunder God’s Helmet, +20% from the Thunder God Armor, +30% from Thunder God Power, and +10% from the Thunder Ring, escalating the damage to a terrifying 10540!
In short, Elena’s current Thunder damage was just past ten thousand; Da Fei remembered this calculation crystal clear.
And that damage hadn’t even accounted for the Dark Elf’s Grandmaster Magic User’s -60% Magic Resistance on the target! Even if the six-headed snake had a 95% Magic Resistance, reduced by 60% would be just 35%, meaning Elena’s Thunder damage surpassing ten thousand could still deal 6800 damage!
But in actuality? It was only more than 2400!
Even if this BOSS had a similar magic immunity attribute to sandworms, it couldn’t just nullify Elena’s four thousand magic damage, could it? If the magic immunity attribute was that high, the Druids wouldn’t have dealt even a bit of damage to it. Elena’s Elemental Chain Damage wouldn’t have been inflicted either.
Under Da Fei’s understanding, such a situation only had one explanation, the Beastman’s exclusive skills "Anti-Dark Magic," "Anti-Light Magic," and "Anti-Destruction Magic"!
—Anti-Destruction Magic: Beastmen with the high-level Demon bloodline possess the power to resist magic. Each level learned reduces the damage effect on Beastman troops from Destruction Magic by 10%. A passive skill.
This skill effect reduced, on top of the troop’s own Magic Resistance, similarly to defensive tactics of the Magic System. Hence, Beastman troops were recognized as both physical and magical resistant, a pure strength race.
But, that was a Beastman! What kind of high-level Demon bloodline did this six-headed snake have to enable such reduction? Or was it that the arena BOSS didn’t follow the rules and had any skills imaginable?
Just as Da Fei’s thoughts raced, the Da Fei Secret Archer Troop began shooting at the six-headed snake too, with countless -1, -1 damage numbers tragically popping out! Da Fei was even more shocked; there was no such misery even when tackling the Hydra! Was this supposed to be a city wall? How could six mere heads endure more than a nine-headed snake? How could such a strong BOSS exist in a mere duel arena?
—Boom! Alina, with a wave of her hand, conjured a massive ice spike descending from the sky, kaboom!!!
-3831! Ice debris scattered; the massive meat mountain of the six-headed snake was instantly frozen into a huge ice sculpture, unmoving, while its surroundings within dozens of meters were instantly frostbitten.
This damage? This was?
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Elena, released God-level Destruction Magic Strong Ice Seal Technique on the six-headed snake, causing 3831 points of damage. The snake was frozen and unable to move, impacted by frostbite, with constant bleeding and slowed action.
Watching the frostbite damage numbers "-310!" "-315" pop out relentlessly from the six-headed snake’s ice sculpture, Da Fei was filled with joy and surprise!
This was the ice seal technique, only released by God-level Destruction Magic. Along with the fire element’s Doomsday, the earth element’s Blast Skill, and the wind element’s Wind Blade Skill, they were called the four divine skills in textbooks! Doomsday and Wind Blade were the strongest area attacks, while Ice Seal and Blast Skills were the strongest single-target spells. Each divine skill could only be used once a day, and the Magic Power required was as high as 600 points; even the Mana pool of an average God-level Mage could only release one or two God-level spells per battle.
Where does the magic of the Ice Seal Technique lie? It isn’t just damage or restricting movement, but in frostbite! This frostbite wasn’t physical damage or spell damage—it couldn’t be reduced by resistances. It was a solid hit, with an added slow effect, a real injury comparable to the fountain bleeding damage when executing the Hydra back then! Even if this BOSS had hundreds of thousands of health points, such a constant spouting frostbite could hardly withstand a few hits, right?
And now, after consuming the dual Mana cost of 1000 points for Strong Ice Seal Technique, Elena had enough Mana remaining for a Strong Burst Skill! There’s no denying the tournament rules were too unreasonable. The combinations of Divine Artifact Mana Source were prohibited; even the Dark Elf’s Mana doubling Divine Skill, Dark Ceremony, couldn’t be brought to the tournament in time.
Now, as Elena gestured, a circle of earthen hues surrounded the frozen BOSS condition, then—boom!!! The ground quaked violently, frost shattered, and an inaudible boom echoed inside the ice sculpture!
"Blast Skill Damage -4153!" "Internal organ bleeding damage -410!" "Internal organ bleeding damage -410!"...
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Elena, used God-level Destruction Magic Strong Burst Skill, dealing 4153 points of damage to the six-headed snake. Its internal organs burst, causing ongoing internal organ bleeding damage! The snake’s Attack, damage, and Stamina would weaken with continuous internal organ bleeding!
Oh yeah! This is the divine internal-breaking skill—Blast Skill! What makes the Blast Skill divine? Internal organ bleeding! Not to mention the bleeding, it relentlessly reduces status; it’s too divine not to acknowledge. Ice Seal’s frostbite slowing and the additional internal organ bleeding from the Burst Skill, who wouldn’t die if hit by such vicious spells? Of course, the Undead and Mechanical Spirit units might feel a bit better.
And a God-level Mage could release at most two God-level spells in one battle. The tactical position troop type under God-level spell attack basically meant annihilation, let alone this BOSS, a lone Commander, without underlings to share its damage. Even if it had otherworldly defense, my three thousand cannon fodder, just playing hide and seek, would wear it out to death! Not to mention waiting for Elena’s Mana recovery to strike it with a few more Lightning Spells. I didn’t believe it wouldn’t die.
Right, no one could see just now under this cloud of mist, right? If they couldn’t see, even better; lest advancing too far ahead, players from around the world gathering outside the White House to protest and delete my account—it wouldn’t be a good situation. When I brought the God-level Mage to battle, this competition was already unstoppable, haha, bwa-hahaha!
