Chapter 31: When Darkness Falls
Mission: When Darkness Falls;
NOTE: You have been cursed by the Ghoul King Glaudis, and while you hold the Mirror of the Power of Glaudis, your mana will be lost at a rate of 10 per minute, during which time natural mana will be restored and cannot be replenished by any means. Once your mana is depleted, Ghoul King Glaudis will use you as a coordinate to lead the Death Eaters to the Eternal World.
Lin Ling held the power mirror of Glaudis tightly and strolled through the deep corridor. Although he currently has a maximum of 420 mana, which can last up to 42 minutes without consuming mana, that's only a theoretical number.
Thankfully, the Glaudis Mirror dropped by the Demon Ghoul is genuine.
As a vessel that holds some of the power of the super-artifact, the incidental status of the Mirror of the Power of Graudis is not all curses. It also comes with three very powerful buffs: Eye of Knowledge, Death Gaze, and Aura of Exhaustion.
True Vision: See through darkness, obstacles, fog and traps, regardless of the terrain.
Decaying Gaze: Reduces armor by 50% and attack speed and movement speed by 50% on any target it touches.
Depleted Aura: Enemy units shrouded in an aura lose 1% of their maximum health per second.
Relying on these three buffs, which can almost be called IMBA, Lin Ling was able to retreat from the position of core output to the second line and assist his teammates in combat.
Their trip to the Mage's Treasure Room was surprisingly "lucky".
In the stone-carved corridor leading to the core hub where the Shadow Light Guards were located, all kinds of rare elite stone statues appeared in front of them one after another, and many elite stone guards even Lin Ling had seen them for the first time. Their appearance has brought great trouble to the advancement of the team.
It is naturally impossible for a mage to sit idly by and watch his teammates fall into trouble.
Lin Ling used an Ancient Will that had been upgraded to level 2 in the corridor, and unleashed a wave of blizzard to clean up the stone guards, helping his teammates solve their troubles and save time.
When they arrive at the location of the main boss No. 1 of the mage treasure room, and prepare to challenge the No. 1 boss archmage's shadow, they find that what comes out of the light curtain is not the bad old man they expected, but a rare pair of two kings - Storm Illusion and Boulder Illusion.
Storm Illusion is proficient in lightning magic, and Boulder Illusion has a powerful health regeneration buff and a huge coverage of Echo Stomp, and the output of Strawberry Nose and Love-Hate Entanglement alone cannot defeat the duo.
Lin Ling had to use the thunderbolt lightning magic attached to the lightning fragment again, using the increasing catapult damage to grind the most threatening boulder illusion to red blood, and when the boulder illusion turned on the stone statue form to reduce physical damage, in a vain attempt to extract the power of the earth again to buff itself. He unleashed a wave of Level 3 magic missiles, shattering its dreams.
After the death of the Boulder Vision, the remaining Storm Illusion is a dish under the influence of the Decaying Gaze and the Aura of Exhaustion.
Rao is like this, and it took Strawberry Nose and Love-Hate Entanglement nearly 1 minute to get the Storm Illusion and get the first kill of the Double Kings on Expert difficulty.
Lin Ling didn't even bother to look at the fall, so he walked forward.
The core hub where the Spectre Guard was located was still a long way from being summoned, and he didn't want to waste time picking up the little thing of dropping.
Seeing this, everyone who was originally excited quietly divided the drop with interest, and left a recipe for "Strange Things Making: Energy Fragments" to Lin Ling.
After summoning between, they reach the Cloister of Decay and continue to challenge the No. 2 boss of the Mage's Treasure Room, the Mutant Ooze Monster.
The Cloister of Decay is a haven for ooze monsters.
The mutant ooze monster is the leader of the ooze monster, it is a puddle of mud and various alchemy potions made of jelly-like objects, the attack method is relatively simple, only pounced, and the attached strong acid damage has little impact on the drunken and drunken with high physique, but the anti-damage effect of the two skills of the sludge armor and acid thorns cast makes the love-hate entanglement and strawberry nose ache to death.
The health regeneration effects of Silt Armor and Acid Thorns make the Depleted Aura useless.
Lin Ling watched coldly for half a minute, seeing that they really couldn't do it, so he made a move and used ice fragments to freeze the mutant ooze monster's silt armor. He motioned for Drunken Liquor to pull away the mutant ooze monster, and handed one end of the Mirror of the Power of Glaudis into the hands of the Zen Master, and the other end with one hand.
In doing so, the three effects attached to the Mirror of the Power of Glaudis could not be exerted, and some of the curses would be temporarily transferred to the Zen Master's body, but it would allow Lin Ling to free up one hand to use lightning fragments to shoot acid thorns.
He shot the nasty gadgets one by one, and just as he was about to turn on the Shaped Shot and give the mutant ooze a hard blow, the Zen Warden on the other side of the Mirror of the Power of Glaudis, who was under the influence of the Ghoul King's curse, let out a high-decibel scream.
The love-hate entanglement saw that the watchman was as ridiculous as a frightened girl, and laughed heartlessly.
But Drunken and Strawberry-Nose looked at the Watchman at the same time in bewilderment, what made a Watchman Zen Master who could talk and laugh in the face of a puddle of carrion so scared?
"You go on."
Lin Ling decisively withdrew the power mirror of Glaudis. He shook his head, the spiritual effects of the Ghoul King's curse were not something that ordinary people could bear, there had been examples of people in previous lives who had been scared out of heart disease by the Ghoul King.
Without the annoying Silt armor and acidic thorns, Love-Hate and Strawberry Nose easily killed the Mutant Ooze Monster.
After the separation, Strawberry Nose quietly opened the private chat channel and asked the Zen Master who was still a little pale, "What did you see?" ”
"The face of the Ghoul King, and its roar, are seen and heard at every moment...... That kind of thing is an R-18 horror movie even if it is put in the theater. The Zen Master looked at Lin Ling, who was still walking in front of the team, with palpitations, "I admire that Lingda can bear it." ”
"Zero is not an ordinary person." Strawberry Nose said succinctly. How is it possible for an ordinary person to be as familiar with the weaknesses of the various bosses of the Mage Treasure Room as he is?
After defeating Boss 2, the team moves on.
They walked through the filthy and smelly rotten corridor and followed Lin Ling into the Mana Prison, where the Boss 3 Purgatory prisoner was located.
The Prisoner of Purgatory is a rare magic boss that uses magic similar to that of Drow Warlocks, and his best moves are Shadow Lash and Soul Sucker.
Lin Ling looked at the Purgatory Prisoners, like those Purgatory Torturers, the Purgatory Prisoners were also upgraded from the Inferior Demons, and there should be items similar to mana crystals among the items dropped. It seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is strong on the outside, and there is no need to waste time on it.
"I'll tell you about this boss." He stopped the crowd and asked the watchman, "This boss is similar to the Lich Mirror, do you have the confidence to go it alone?" ”
"Single, heads-up?" The love-hate entanglement was taken aback by Lin Ling's words, not only him, but even the drunk and strawberry nose looked at Lin Ling in confusion.
Have a Priest take on a boss on Expert difficulty?
This guy can't be a burnt mess, right?
"Similar to a Lich Mirror?" The Watchman Zen Master was the only one in the team who understood Lin Ling's meaning, he had personally touched the power mirror of Glaudis, and had touched the curse on it, and knew very well that Lin Ling needed time.
This is also the reason why Lin Ling chose to hand over the power mirror of Glaudis to the Zen Master Shouwang before.
"It should be said that it is exactly the same, if there is no second person to enter the battle."
Lin Ling calmly looked at the Zen Master, he knew very well that his statement was a little irresponsible. It's just that he's already used a lot of spells, including a blizzard, along the way, and the remaining mana value may only last for a few minutes.
"Okay." The watchman put on an unusually thick mace and walked towards the prisoner of purgatory without looking back, and entered the battle.
"Let's go."
Lin Ling beckoned his teammates to go to the depths of the mage's treasure room, and he said as he walked: "The No. 4 boss over there in the exhibition hall will fight again when he turns around, the No. 5 lord statue, the love-hate entanglement you and Strawberry Nose should be able to drag it off, and if you are drunk, you and I will go to the core hub to see the Phantom Light Guard." ”
"Wait, the lord statue is also a boss, right? How do we drag? "The love-hate entanglement put forward a dissatisfied opinion on Lin Ling's arbitrariness, there is no priest, no knight, let them drag the boss with a thief and a warrior? It's a shame that he can say it!
"Whatever you do in the passage, do it over there." Lin Ling glanced coldly at the love-hate entanglement, he understood very well that this thief was not a good man, so he had already prepared a way to deal with him, "Do you want me to teach you how to pick the lock and disarm the mechanism?" ”
The love-hate entanglement's face froze, and his relationship with Lin Ling was not as close as others.
As early as Lin Ling "snatched" the "Blizzard" magic book, the love-hate entanglement was dissatisfied with Lin Ling. A large part of the reason why he agreed to come to the mage's treasure room was because he could get 10 gold coins as compensation if he didn't succeed, and of course, in his heart, he also had the idea of pointing out the country in front of Lin Ling and basking in his sense of superiority.
It's just that this trip to the mage's treasure room was surprisingly smooth, so smooth that the love-hate entanglement was a little fluttery, and he almost forgot that he had died twice at Lin Ling's hands.
"Time is running out." Lin Ling was too lazy to waste his scheming, and directly said to death, forcing the love-hate entanglement to make a decision, "Whether to stay and create brilliance with us, or go out to be a shrew and scold the street, whatever you want." ”
Then, he turned around and walked into the core hub.
After Drunken Wujiu and Strawberry Nose glanced at the love-hate entanglement, they also followed Lin Ling into the core hub.
