Chapter 42: Rushing into battle
Upgrading skills with experience points is obviously not cost-effective for these novice stage traversers - skills at this stage are not troublesome to practice, and experience points should be mainly used to level up.
However, the benefits of consuming experience points to quickly improve skills are also immediate, and Ankh is immediately able to see through the flow of magical energy, find the direction of the magic array, and guide everyone to rush to support the panda.
Of course, if it weren't for the necromancer Hammer's desire to use the magic array to transform the panda into a necromancy, and not trigger a large-scale flow of mana, so that Ankka would not be aware of it, it is estimated that he would not be able to feel the flow of necromantic magic just by relying on Anka's magical knowledge and skills, let alone find out the direction of the magic array.
Moreover, if it weren't for the panda's courage enough to make Hamer defeat him by relying on his numbers, he would have become greedy and wanted to transform him into a necromancer and become his own subordinates, and the magic array would not have appeared.
If we continue to find out why, of course, we can find out again, but all in all, the rest of the traversers have now found the right direction and are hurrying over there.
In the sky above the magic array, the black necromantic magic has condensed into a large vortex, which is pouring into the panda's body in a steady stream, trying to transform him into a necromantic under Hamer's control.
The cold power continued to invade, making him feel as if there were countless spikes condensed from cold ice, stabbing his body everywhere, piercing flesh, bones, and bone marrow.
The intense pain completely dissipated the fatigue of the fierce battle, and the anger burned in his heart, but the severe injury made it impossible for him to move for a while.
It won't be long, though.
As a holy warrior of the god of suffering, Panda has the passive skill "Suffering" that increases his injuries and his attributes continue to improve. Now that this passive skill has been activated, he can clearly see that on his attribute panel, the health that has fallen to "Seriously Injured" is still slowly decreasing, but other attributes are constantly improving, and the increase is getting bigger and bigger.
When his health drops to "near-death", he will gain immunity to all negative states, and when several negative states such as "paralysis" and "vertigo" disappear, he will be able to temporarily regain his mobility, and his combat power will increase dramatically.
While he may only be able to act for a moment in this state, based on the rate at which his health falls, it is enough.
When he took everyone on his first hunt, he was able to fight with the huge boar that was far more powerful than him, and the reason why he was able to fight up and blind the two eyes of the huge boar one after another when his chest was pierced may be that this skill is in play.
(I chose to be the god of suffering, and I really didn't make a mistake!)
The body couldn't move, but the panda's heart was not the slightest fear, but was full of fighting spirit.
(If I had chosen to believe in other gods, I would have been a fish on the chopping block by now, and I would not have the slightest power to resist.) )
(Sure enough, it's this style of fighting to the death that really suits me...... )
The cold necromantic magic continued to seep into his body, invading his internal organs, as if a poisonous snake was eating and biting his internal organs, and the intense pain made him sweat coldly, sweat mixed with blood, flowing in the magic array.
This magic array was made up of shallow ditches dug out of the ground, and blood flowed in them, naturally flowing along these ditches. They flowed slowly, gradually flowing into more and more ditches, as if they were filling the lines of the magic circle with their lives.
Hammer didn't notice this, or rather, it didn't realize it at all, it was now full of thoughts about getting a powerful necromantic thug, and its heart was full of joy and pleasure, it could be said that it was carried away, where else could it think of!
But at that moment, it felt its skeleton suddenly knocked down, and it was knocked down a lot.
Hammer hurriedly turned and looked in the direction the skeletons had been knocked down.
The group of adventurers who should have been trapped in the maze and spun around like headless flies have somehow cracked the maze that can make people spin in circles, found the right direction, and are rushing towards their side.
Hammer's order to the skeletons is, of course, "protect me", and at this moment all the skeletons under his command are concentrated here, and if the five traversers want to approach, they will naturally fight with the skeletons.
In front of them, the cannon fodder skeletons on the periphery were not vulnerable at all, and the defense line formed was broken through like papier-mâché, and the more powerful skeletons in the middle couldn't help much, and heavy weapons smashed on them violently, often knocking them down at once.
All they could do was give Hammer a warning and buy a little more time.
Seeing that the enemy was about to rush over, Hammer hurriedly waved his hand, and all the skeletons ran in the direction of the five rushing over.
Anyway, there are only a few enemies, and it no longer needs any personal guards, so it even sends out elite skeleton leaders.
At the same time, it is also constantly casting spells to maintain the operation of the magic circle, trying to complete the necromantic transformation of the panda.
Of course, the traversers also saw Hamer, saw the blood-stained magic array on the ground, and saw the panda lying in a pool of blood.
"Damn!" Yunero's vertical pupils glowed with a cold inorganic light, followed by a red glow in his eyes, then red light turned into magic patterns all over his body, and finally even the scales on his body turned bright red, and the whole person seemed to be stained with blood.
His profession is Berserker, officially known as "Berserk Master". Not only does he have the Berserker skills of a normal berserker, but he also has other more advanced skills.
Skill: Berserk!
Skill: Advanced Berserk!
Skill: Legendary Fury!
The three berserk skills were superimposed, and in a short period of time, his attributes were so high that he picked up the battle axe and rushed out a few steps, accompanied by a roar, he spun around the skeleton army like a whirlwind.
The heavy tomahawk seemed to have completely lost its weight at this moment, and it fluttered lightly in his hand, giving full play to its sharpness and strength. The skeletons were almost killed when touched, and even if it was only a slight rub on the whirlwind of the blade, they were immediately cut in two and fell to the ground.
Skill: Whirlwind Slash!
Hammer was taken aback, he didn't expect this guy with scales and horns to look like a deformed lizardman to be so powerful. Hurriedly commanded a large number of skeletons to rush over, trying to drown him with crowd tactics.
Berserker's biggest problem is that the berserker lasts for a short period of time, and as long as they hold on until the end of the berserk, they will fall into exhaustion and will have to be slaughtered by others.
The crowd tactic is always the most effective, and if you fall into a lonely battle, you will be as strong as a panda and fall under the crowd tactic.
But Younero is not alone!
With a roar of rage, Eldest Sun Wu swung his large wooden stick and rushed through the gap in the formation of Yunero's torn skeleton army. His wooden rod wasn't sharp, but it was large and heavy, and with each swing, it was capable of knocking down at least one or more skeletons.
The scavenger didn't say anything, he didn't rush out, he stood in front of Anka, threw down his hammer, took out his crossbow, and aimed it at Hamer.
An arrow was fired, but it was far away.
The effect of the Black Mist Labyrinth's distorted perception is still working, and melee combat is not enough, this kind of long-range sniping is difficult to work.
But the scavenger silently wound the crossbow, loaded the arrow, and took aim again.
Distorted perception is also regular, and as long as he tries a few times, he will be able to test the pattern.
When the time comes, Hammer will want to escape his sniping!
