Chapter 268: Grace Walder
The polearm itself has a slower attack speed, but the "20% Attack Speed Increase" stat attached to this machete makes up for it, and it doesn't swing too slowly.
The machete's surface attack max is 54, which looks like it's on par with "Severbour's Short Stick", but due to its own "Enhanced Damage" stat, the base attack is actually "1-27".
Adric took the machete, and after he upgraded, he added skill points to the "charge" again, and the damage ratio of the level 4 skill enhancement was as high as 195% (with an additional increase in the power aura), and in the aura state, the charge output can reach 128 points, and when the "damage amplification" curse is in effect, a combination with Jennifer can destroy a monster at a time.
After clearing the outskirts of the city of monsters, Memphira led the crowd to the most central area.
During the previous adventures, the few people who could transform would fly into the air every once in a while to reconnoiter the movements of the monsters.
But everyone noticed that a small area in the middle of the city had been covered with thick clouds, and no one could fly through it, as if they had encountered the same altitude restrictions. The clouds were so dark and dreary that even the eye could not penetrate them.
The transformation of the group did not last for a short time, and Memphira even led everyone around the impenetrable clouds, but after a full circle, they could not find a way to fly in, let alone see the scene below the clouds.
"There's quirkiness in this place!" Meng Feila made a definition, and then led everyone to clean up all the monsters on the periphery, and then led everyone to cautiously advance from the ground to this cloudy area.
Having basically cleaned up Tristram before, and didn't encounter the dark gold monster "Gracewald" here on the periphery, then it should be in the clouds.
The streets and buildings in the center of Tristram are much more intact than the perimeter, especially near the shadowed areas, where the blackened facades of the buildings appear very solid.
The buildings in the cloudy area are continuous and there is no roof, and the most central building seems to be deep in the low clouds. The outer area is still daytime, but when you step into the cloudy area, it becomes a scene that has just fallen into the night, which is very depressing.
Monfila's Dark Gold Staff itself has a lighting effect, and Kaori also holds up the "Blood Crescent" to illuminate it. Memphira asked the stone demon to raise a torch as well, and in the black mist, the team slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, an orange-red cloud floated above everyone's heads, which was the state of the curse that deepened the damage. At this time, the roar of the monster and the sound of footsteps also came from the darkness.
"Be careful, there's a dark gold monster." Monfila reminded. The Damaging Curse is exactly what the game's dark gold boss Gracewald is good at.
Clusters of arrows rang in, and Ishriel quickly unleashed the Cloak of Shadow in front of her, and the arrows began to thin out.
In the darkness of the night, the damage amplification curse and the accumulation of shots from the skeleton archer team are indeed very threatening if they are for a normal team. But everyone has the protection of Memphira's intermediate defense technique, and after blessing 10 defense points, the arrows that have been reduced to sparse are no longer a problem.
The whole team pressed forward, and the glow of the fire and dark gold equipment allowed Monfila to see what was ahead.
In front was a huge pitch-black building, like a small fortress, from which a dark and heavy fog emanated, maintaining a huge circular shade in the sky.
There were no doors or windows on the dark castle, the stone walls revealed a thick dead silence, and on the steps in front of the castle, a bald man dressed in dark red was guarding here with a large group of monsters, it was the dark gold monster Gracewald.
Monfila sighed after seeing this monster, which used to be Tristram's chief blacksmith and a powerful paladin in the background of Diablo 2.
On the eve of the arrival of the Black Tide, he also went to investigate the cause of evil, but he bore the brunt of it, and was turned into a monster by the massive amount of hellish demonic qi that accompanied the demon god's clone, and it was difficult to enter the cycle of reincarnation in this life, just like the experience of the blood bird.
Although he was very powerful during his lifetime, even the paladin's green class suit is called "The Legend of Gracewald", a set of four pieces, and the attributes are very good.
But after becoming a hell monster, its strength dropped sharply, and it can even be said that it fell by a thousand miles, just like those who lost their physical strength, and only a little monster instinct remained.
These things were just fleeting in Memphira's mind, and with a wave of his hand, he added the same curse to the monsters, and the skeleton troops divided into five teams, and Rodhart and the others stepped forward and began to kill the monsters in an instant.
During this time, there are a large number of Tristram monsters, and the terrain restrictions are relatively safe, so Memphira often specially blesses the "primary spiritualism" to accumulate skeleton soldiers.
After the number of skeleton soldiers increased, in order to kill monsters more efficiently, he didn't have much protection when dealing with monsters. There are now more than 300 of them, and each team is divided into 60, and they can be killed in seconds when they deal with the cursed mobs.
Gracewald was blocked by the skeleton archer at the back close to the black building, and Memphila didn't take it too seriously, just clean up after the mobs.
However, all of a sudden, the orange-red curse on the top of the skeleton soldier's head turned into a flying green ribbon of light, and then began to run backwards uncontrollably, which turned out to be the "fear" curse!
"Be careful, it will put other curses!" Monfila hurriedly reminded that the Curse of Fear does not work on professionals, and only skeletons have been affected for the time being, but this ability is different from that in the game, so you have to guard against it and other skills.
Everyone's attacks slowed down, and Rodhart was even more observant at all times, he still remembered the thrilling situation caused by the "attack and counterattack" curse of the elite next to the cold crow at that time.
Sure enough, after seeing the skeleton soldiers retreat, they found that everyone in front of them was mainly using physical attacks, and with a wave of Gracewald's fat hand, the curse on everyone's heads really turned into a jumping bright golden band of light, "attack and counterattack"!
Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared and immediately stopped, without being hurt by the rebound. Since the skeletons were scared away by the curse of "fear", they were not shocked to death by the sudden change of "attack back", and only a few were killed by some arrows.
"Rub, what are you afraid of, it's really going to attack and backfire, it looks like you have to kill it first. Hart, get ready! Monfila shook her head and reminded Rodhart, it seemed that she would have to use the healing magic effect to cooperate with the charge.
