Chapter 235: Shadow Master
After all, the Shadow Devourer is only a beast-type boss of the boss rank, and its own attributes are really not enough for this team that has already attacked the lord rank boss. Under normal conditions, even Xiao Qian was already able to break through its defenses, and after the three layers of armor piercing were stacked on top of each other, Cahill and Xiao Qian's output began to explode.
The Eater of Shadow's health is dropping at a visible rate, and it seems to know that it can't go on like this, but due to the boss mechanic, it can only attack the stupid melon with high defense. In the rainy environment, it still has a great impact on the silly melon. But again, his technique is like that, even if it is affected, his blocking completion has not decreased much, and the damage value he has taken is naturally not too high.
Nearly half a minute had passed, and the Eater of Shadows had already dropped almost ten percent of his health, and if it continued at this rate, the Eater of Shadows would only be able to hold out for about five minutes.
As the boss of the group to destroy the well-behaved Coco, the Shadow Devourer naturally couldn't be killed so easily, it could at least struggle for a while. After so long of gestation, the four shulker nests gave birth to the shulker beasts. As soon as the four shulkers emerged from their lair, they fell to the ground trembling, as if they were afraid of the Eater of Shadows.
As a matter of fact...... It was also true that the Shadow Devourer roared happily when he saw the four shulkers appear, directly ignoring his hatred for the dumb melon, and pounced on the closest shulker beast to him, and then swallowed the shulker beast into his stomach in three or two clicks, and the health on its head also recovered to an insignificant small section, almost six hundred points.
The Shadow Devourer's action was too fast, not to mention stupid and shallow, even Cahill was stunned for a moment before reacting, no way, this environment still has a relatively large impact on observation.
Xiao Peng's words were the first to throw a magic bullet at the Shadow Devourer. He's a mage after all, and while he's affected a bit in this environment, he's not as affected as much as the melee class. However, after hitting the Eater of Shadows, the magic bullet only dealt about twenty damage, which was almost half the amount of damage it had before.
The Shadow Devourer finished eating a shulker, and did not stop, and continued to pounce towards another shulker, and in just ten seconds, the remaining three shulkers were all eaten by this thing, and its health was restored to 2,400 points, you know, this guy's total health is only 44,000 points, which is more than five percent.
"This time...... it. Although I heard Xiao Qian say that the amount of Shadow Devourer's reply was very exaggerated, but seeing it with his own eyes, Xiao Peng couldn't help but scold, this is special, half of their previous output was directly returned by this guy. And in the ten or so seconds of eating, any damage taken by the Shadow Devourer will be reduced by half, plus it jumps and jumps, except for Xiao Peng, Cahill and Xiao Qian have not been able to cause any effective output to it at all, and Xiao Peng is limited because of the high-damage skill of the Fireball Technique, and the damage is not as terrifying as in the normal environment, so in these more than ten seconds, they have caused less than six hundred points of damage to the Shadow Devourer, which is a very difficult thing to accept.
Of course, there is good news, when the Shadow Devourer was devouring the Shulker just now, one of the four rows of question marks in its skill layout had already appeared. The hit of the skill is easy to understand, it is called devouring, and the effect is that when devouring the shulker, it restores more than 600 health, and during the devouring period, all damage received is reduced by 50%.
This skill is not a damage skill, but its effect is extremely domineering. Unfortunately, the Eater of Shadows encountered Xiao Peng and his team, and the damage inflicted on them by the two core output points, Xiao Peng and Cahill, was too high.
………………
The rhythm of the battle continues, and if you kill about 10% of the Shadow Devourer's health, it will eat the four newly refreshed shulkers, recovering about 5% of your health, and then the time it takes to kill this boss is fully doubled.
Maybe it's because the first skill of the Shadow Devourer is too powerful, and its last three skills are not very powerful, especially the state type ultimate, which is only ten percent higher, and it is still relatively useless The attack speed is increased by ten percent, and the movement speed is reduced by five percent. This state is almost the most rubbish for the boss-level boss at this stage.
Aside from wasting some of Xiao Peng's team's time, the Shadow Devourer didn't do anything else, and it only took about ten minutes from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle.
However, killing the Eater of Shadows doesn't mean that the boss fight is over. There are still four shulker beast nests that have not been defeated, Xiao Peng and they have to defeat these four shulker beast nests to be considered the end of the battle.
Of course, these four shulker beast lairs can't cause any trouble to Xiao Peng and them, without him, ordinary shulker beasts can't break the defense of the dumb melon, as long as the silly melon plays normally, he can still hold the four shulker beasts in half a minute.
By the time the fourth shulker nest was broken, there were already a dozen shulkers around him, and they had surrounded him in two circles. A shulker beast, Xiao Peng, and the three of them output to gather fire, it only takes more than ten seconds, and it only takes more than three minutes to kill all the shulker beasts. Counting this, the whole battle added up to a total of about seventeen minutes, which was a bit beyond Xiao Peng's expectations, after all, judging from the situation on the scene, they hadn't finished the copy of the Shadow Lair.
"It's not the final boss." Xiao Qian saw that the scene of the dungeon had not changed, and the system prompt did not appear, so he knew that this dungeon was not over.
"Well, let's take a break and hurry up. There's still time, let's try to get another special dungeon. Xiao Peng nodded, the copy has reached this point, and Xiao Peng is no longer interested in the last boss. Cahill's performance he looked at in his eyes, judging from the performance of the battle with the Shadow Devourer just now, Cahill was barely adapted to fighting in this environment, she almost interrupted the Shadow Devourer's skill with her stun skill just now, which meant that the boss of the boss rank was much less dangerous to their squad. And as a simple mode dungeon, how can there be a boss with an extremely high lord rank in it?
………………
The next journey was surprisingly easy, Xiao Peng and the others only encountered a total of six mobs, but these six mobs were all elite templates, and each type of mob was different. There are shadow boars that are indiscriminately a collision, there are shadow hunters who are more powerful than shulkers, in fact, they are a large praying mantis, and what kind of man-eating flowers, rainforest pythons and other monsters in the way. These latter two are not active attacking monsters, but because of the environment, the dumb couple who opened the way in front of them did not find them. For example, the rainforest python, when I went down to feel soft, I found this big guy seven or eight meters long.
These elite monsters didn't cause any trouble to Xiao Peng and them, they just wasted a little bit of time. Immediately afterward, they met the third boss of the Shadow Lair, and most likely the last boss of the quest, Houston, the Shadow Master.
"Yo, I thought this copy was full of beast-type monsters, but I didn't expect there to be a humanoid creature." Xiao Peng looked at Houston, the shadow controller not far away, and laughed, That's right, this guy Houston is a humanoid creature, it is a werewolf, with the head of a giant wolf and the body of a human. However, it is at least two meters tall, which is much taller than the average person.
"Up?" Dull Gourd calmly looked at the werewolf boss not far away, and the other party was staring at them with a pair of red beast eyes.
"Straight up." Xiao Peng waved his hand, and without waiting for a fool, he directly threw a magic bullet over, attracting Houston's hatred.
"Woo woo......" Houston was attacked by Xiao Peng, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and rushed towards Xiao Peng with his solid and powerful legs. At the same time, the Dumb Melon also locked the Shadow Controller and used the Dash skill.
Houston is indeed very strong, but compared to the much larger Shadow Devourer, its strength is still a level lower, so after colliding with it, the Dumb Melon, only two or three steps back, stabilized his body, stepped forward to shield the taunt, and pulled Houston's hatred firmly onto himself.
Cahill didn't enter the stealth state, although she could have a damage bonus of a broken blow after sneaking, but the movement speed would be reduced a lot, and she might as well rush over and stand in a good position to output when the dumb melon had already stabilized her hatred. You know, Werewolf Houston is a humanoid creature, her passive skills can finally take effect, and with the dumb armor-piercing blow to reduce defense, Cahill's output can be maximized.
The Shadow Master's physical defense can only be said to be average, but the magic defense is very good, and the health is about the same as that of the average humanoid boss boss. Therefore, Xiao Peng's damage to it is not very high, the conventional output means magic bullets can only cause damage in the early thirties, and the damage of wind blades and ice arrows is okay, but because of the cooldown time and blue consumption, Xiao Peng basically will not use them.
Cahill's damage is relatively high, after the three layers of armor piercing are superimposed, she can cut off nearly fifty points of health of the Shadow Controller with a single flat slash, this kind of damage, she can no longer output with all her strength, because in that case, only two regular hatred pulling skills will definitely not be able to pull the Shadow Master's hatred.
As time went on, the Shadow Master's health became lower and lower, and with only four skills, it finally used its first skill.
Howling Moon: When Houston is in danger, he will use the power of moonlight to deal physical damage x1.5 times his physical attack to all enemy units centered on him within a 3x3 radius, and has a 30% chance to stun the enemy, making the opponent unable to make any action for three seconds.
As soon as Cahill roared into the sky, Cahill's glowing dagger pierced into its lower back, and Houston's screaming came to an abrupt halt, and it was clear that Cahill's skills had been interrupted. It glanced back at Cahill angrily, and was about to strike at the hateful elven thief, when a shield strike from the fool pulled back its hatred, and Houston had no choice but to twist his head back and continue to attack the fool.
"Yes, Cahill." Xiao Peng saw the situation on the field and praised Cahill. The skill of interrupting the boss with one blow in this environment, with Cahill's current strength, should contain a certain element of luck. But how do you say that? Luck is also part of strength.
And the boss skill is still a little dangerous for Xiao Peng's team. The range of 3x3 is not very large, under normal circumstances, Cahill can dodge, but in the current environment, let alone 3x3, even if it is a 2x2 skill range, Cahill is difficult to dodge.
And the damage of this skill is not low.,It also comes with an additional chance of deterrence.,This is a negative state second only to vertigo.,It's more disgusting than turning into a sheep.,If you change a sheep.,You can still move at a speed similar to a turtle.,Shock is completely to let you stand in place and be beaten.。 If he was unlucky, the three Cahill were stunned for three seconds, and with the wisdom of the Shadow Master, he would definitely take the initiative to attack Cahill.
"Sister Cahill is amazing!" Li Xiang'er also sighed, as everyone went deeper and deeper into the dungeon, the rain became heavier and heavier. Now, I can clearly feel the coldness of the rain hitting my face. In this case, it is not easy to just stand on the pile output, let alone Cahill's operation of interrupting the Shadow Master's skills with a stun, which is really difficult.
Cahill himself was also relieved, it was indeed as Xiao Peng thought, Cahill was not absolutely sure that he would interrupt the skill of the Shadow Controller when he used the stun skill. In fact, she didn't even know half of it, and luck accounted for a large part of the success of it. But...... It's a success after all, isn't it?
The battle continued, and the Shadow Master's health dropped at a steady rate, until it was about 50 percent of its health, when it used its second skill.
Sharp Claws: Houston uses his sharp claws to unleash three consecutive attacks on enemy units, each dealing physical damage equal to 110% of his own physical attack and having a 50% chance to tear apart.
