Chapter 43: The Transformation of Darkness

Speaking of which, although Arceth is a demon god, his fighting style is more similar to that of Azmodan, the Lord of Sin. Both sides are battlefield generals, good at using group strength, and both have the ability to summon troops.

The only difference is that Azmodan is good at manipulating troops, while Arceth is good at blessing and absorbing the energy of troops to replenish himself.

Therefore, the Gates of Hell may not be Arceus's most powerful ability, but it is undoubtedly his most basic ability. Many of his skills can only be used by troops summoned through the gates of hell.

At this moment, as a large number of ghouls rushed out, an aura appeared at the feet of many undead warriors.

Evil aura!

It is Arceth's housekeeping skills that can greatly increase the health recovery speed and movement speed of the soldiers under his command.

With the blessing of the evil aura, a large number of ghouls rushed madly towards the crowd, waving their claws at them. These ghouls are elite-level warriors, far superior to ordinary of their kind, with claws as sharp as knives and oozing with plague poison. Once caught, it will cause a little damage per second and last for half an hour. This plague was originally only possessed by Abomination and the Undead Catapult.

However, Shen Yi had already prepared for this.

"Old Meng!" he shouted.

"Understood!" Lao Meng smiled and pointed at the ghouls rushing in front of him: "Undead space, open!"

Undead space, a skill that Lao Meng recently acquired, can be used to store a large number of undead warriors made by Lao Meng, so that he no longer has to make a batch of undead warriors as before, and let them follow behind him to form a mighty army. Injured undead warriors can also be restored and repaired after returning to the undead space, and their health can be restored even faster than the blessing of the evil aura.

As the undead space opened, a group of identical bone warriors armed with bone knives had taken the lead in rushing out of the undead space to meet the rushing ghouls, who were not at all afraid of the influence of the epidemic and were blocking the attack of the ghouls.

In addition, more undead warriors came out, but under the command of Lao Meng, they came behind the adventurers.

Shen Yi pointed at Arces and shouted: "Hong Lang, Gentle, King Kong, Chu Sheng, Jiang Chao, Okuni, the six of you, surround him and attack with all your might!"

The six he shouted were the strongest melee fighters in the team of twenty-nine, and the few who could break through 230 defenses with normal attacks and deal damage to Arces. As for King Kong's normal attack, although it can't break Arceth's defense, his armor-etching attack and Finger of Emptiness can reduce Arceth's attack and defense, which is of great significance.

If it is said that the best way to use control skills to deal with adventurers, then the best way to use to deal with boss targets at the Demon God level is always weakening and curse skills. A second or two of control time doesn't make sense for bosses with super high health, but a long-term curse weakening can make them less powerful.

According to Shen Yi's plan, these six people, plus Dean and the adventurer of the Eternal Night who used the Curse of Weakness before, are the real main forces to deal with Arceth, and the rest of them are responsible for cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers, providing cannon fodder, combat support, healing, relay replacement and other trivial affairs.

At this moment, the flood wave was the first to rush out, and a little fire flashed on the ancestral sword, which was the effect of the ball of flames. Shen Yi distributed the various temporary treasures he bought, among which the ones that were given to Hong Lang were the Ball of Flame and the Claw of Attack. He is the main battle force in the main battle force, and all the treasures he gets are treasures that increase attack damage, and the Lich King is an ice attribute demon god, frozen immunity, and the fire damage doubles the effect on him.

Due to the curse of sluggishness, Arceth could no longer dodge as easily as before, but he relied on his superior life and defense, and he didn't care about being hurt even a little, and Frostmourn had already slashed out against the attack of the flood.

Unexpectedly, Hong Lang did not dodge, and in the face of Arceth's sword, the ancestral sword had already slashed down wildly, and at the same time shouted violently: "Bloody fanaticism!"

The Ancestral Sword and the Frost Sorrow slashed at the opponent at the same time, and although Arceth's body was a flash of fire, Hong Lang's body was also covered with frost.

But then there was a flash of light on him, and it was the fat man's holy light technique that fell on Hong Lang.

Arceth's Frost Sorrow's 100% defense-ignoring trait can be said to be the nemesis of all high-defense tank-type adventurers, but in the face of the flood of bloody frenzy and no defense of its own, this defense-ignoring trait is completely meaningless.

Immediately afterwards, King Kong's iron fist had also slammed into Arceth's waist, and the armor-eclipping attack was launched, and after this blow, Arceth's defense immediately dropped by four points.

King Kong's armor-eclipse attack has not been improved due to its usual less use, and so far it is still C-level, and each attack can only be weakened by 2 points, and the cumulative maximum defense is weakened by 20 points. But Shen Yi gave the corrosive ball to King Kong. The Ball of Corrosion originally corroded the target with 5 defense. However, the corrosive ball given by the city has one more function, which is to double the effect of armor-etching attacks, and the original ability to directly corrode disappears, which makes King Kong's armor-etching attack suddenly increase to 4 points of defense per attack, and the cumulative maximum weakening can reach the point of 40 points, and the armor-etching ability is greatly improved.

"Bastard!" Arceth roared and flew out of a punch to King Kong, but he didn't expect King Kong to punch and immediately retreat, Arces chased up, only to see King Kong return his hand, and an undead warrior behind him took the initiative to step forward, was caught by King Kong, King Kong threw the undead warrior forward, Arceth raised his sword and fell, the undead warrior was immediately split in two, but King Kong retreated unharmed.

And just as Arceth was chasing, the side gentleness had already rushed over, and slashed at Arceth, and the tip of the blade of power lingered with a black shadow, which was the manifestation of the power of the ball of darkness. The ability of the Dark Sphere is that after killing the target, it can spawn an undead warrior from the enemy corpse for oneself to use, and this effect is obviously useless against Arceth. However, Gentle is currently receiving the inheritance of the Dark Ranger, and the Dark Ball is similar to the Dark Ranger's Dark Arrow, so Shen Yi handed this ball to her, so that she could feel a little more about the dark power.

Gently slashed at Arces, and Arces struck with lightning in his left hand: "Get out!"

Unexpectedly, the gentle body was like lightning, and it came in an instant, and after being slashed, it retreated instantly, and retreated directly to the undead warriors in the rear, protecting itself with a large amount of cannon fodder, which is exactly the role of the high-speed neural response system. When it comes to speed, there are few people who can compare with the gentleness and sincerity when they are promoted to extreme speed.

At the moment of gentle retreat, the attacks of Chu Sheng, Jiang Chao, and the chief melee of the Eternal Night, Okuni, also landed on Arceth's back, smashing Arces to a stumbling side.

Although these three attacks are not as sharp as Hong Lang, they are also full of powerful power, especially Chu Sheng's meteor hammer, which itself is a high attack and high power play, after opening the berserk skill that increases the upper limit of 50% of the strength, with his brute bull strength technique, the damage of ordinary attacks has increased greatly, and the damage is not weaker than that of Hong Lang at all.

The six people advanced and retreated, except for Hong Lang, who resisted with his body in order to make a few more slashes, everyone else was ready to be cannon fodder to prevent disasters for themselves and avoid injuries as much as possible.

After all, the attacks from Arces were so terrifying that almost no one could stop his three consecutive attacks.

Arces was hit hard and was furious.

"A bunch of ants, do you really think you can defeat the great Lich King?" he roared violently, and stretched out his left hand to the flood that was rushing again, "Frost Nova!"

Frost Nova: Deals 420 ice damage to the primary target, halving the damage of all targets within 10 meters of the perimeter.

The Frost Nova from the Lich King Arceth is clearly more powerful than the Frost Nova of Sapilorn.

Unexpectedly, Hong Lang suddenly smiled, took out a bottle of potion and poured it into his mouth, and a layer of green light appeared on his body.

This time the frost nova hit out, and the green light mask in the middle disappeared into invisibility, and no power was exerted. Since the primary target was unaffected, even the surrounding targets were not affected.

"Magic Immunity Potion?" Arces was stunned for a moment, his movements slowed down slightly, and Hong Lang and the others had already smashed over with another round of bombardment.

At the same time, Shen Yi also shouted: "All ranged skills are activated, use one round!"

The rest of the twenty or so adventurers, all of whom had long-range skills, greeted Arceth unceremoniously, and various skills fell on Arceus, even with his strong defense, he couldn't resist it.

However, after sending out this round of skills, everyone immediately stopped, all they had to do was to keep their mental strength sufficient, but they were not satisfied, so that their spirits were in a state of slow recovery for a long time.

Arces let out a long cry of pain, raised his left hand, and a green light shot at Shen Yi.

Death Coil is the Death Knight's signature skill that can be used to restore 600 health to allies or attack opponents for 300 damage. However, after being promoted to the Demon God, the recovery power of this skill has reached 900 points, and the damage has reached a terrifying 450 points.

Fortunately, everyone is already an adventurer with a third difficulty, otherwise as soon as this single skill comes out, the adventurer below the second difficulty is basically whoever dies.

However, at the same time as Death Coiling flew towards Shen Yi, a T850 Terminator suddenly appeared next to Shen Yi, and Shen Yi pushed the Terminator forward and crashed into Death Winding.

The terrifying corrosive energy hit this 850 Terminator, and even the alloy steel plate melted with it, but Shen Yi didn't do anything.

Death Coil itself has the ability to pursue the target, and will never miss the secondary vehicle, but it can't stop the target from coming to the door by itself, and can intercept it.

In order to deal with the powerful skill of Death Entanglement, a single attack, Shen Yi has already prepared enough T850 Terminators - anyway, if he wants to compensate Chen Yuntao for 20 Terminators in the future, he will use this batch of scrap to compensate. The agreement does not specify whether it is complete or obsolete.

Seeing that although this T850 was badly damaged, it was finally not completely damaged, Shen Yi immediately put it away and prepared to use it to block it again next time. 20 T850s, blocking 40 Death Coils is absolutely fine.

After a few rounds of attacks, Arces found that the group of people coordinated skillfully, advancing and retreating in moderation, and instead of killing an opponent, he himself was killed by nearly 3,000 lives, and shouted angrily: "Do you think you can kill me in this way?

Saying that, Arceth made a move at a ghoul not far away: "Death Pact!"

Death Pact, Arceus' signature ability when he was a Death Knight, instantly kills an undead creature and converts its life to three times its own life.

After being promoted to become a Demon God, Arceth's ability was improved again, and he could gain four times his life transformation.

An elite Ghoul has 660 HP, which is exactly twice as much as a normal Ghoul, and once transformed by Arceth, it can make up for all the damage he takes.

At this moment, Arceth's death contract was selected by a ghoul who had not been injured too much, but at the same time as his death contract was issued, Arceth heard a cold voice: "Holy Light Bullet!"

Arceth then saw to his horror that a bullet of holy light had struck the ghoul at the same time as the death pact had been in effect.

The damage of a double B-level holy light bullet is 74+350, and the ghoul was hit by this bullet, and his vitality plummeted, followed by Arceth's death contract came into play, and the ghoul wailed, and he died in vain.

However, due to Shen Yi's shot, Arceth was no longer a full-life ghoul, but a seriously injured ghoul with only a few dozen lives left, and the result was that after using this skill, he only gained more than 200 points of life recovery.

You must know that if Shen Yi simply killed the ghoul, the death contract was not used, and Arces could choose another target. But Shen Yi didn't kill him, and the result was that Arceth's death contract was of the lowest use, so that his recovery technique could be temporarily abolished.

"Bastard!" Arceth was completely furious: "So you were prepared!"

At this time, he finally saw that the other party was really prepared, and he had made targeted arrangements for each of his abilities, otherwise Shen Yi would not have been able to grasp the timing so well even if he was a genius.

Shen Yi smiled slightly: "It's not too much to deal with a big man like you, no matter how you prepare." ”

Although he was praised, Arces did not have the slightest pleasure of being taken seriously. Frost's sorrow drew a piece of frost and frost, forcing back the besieging people around him, and a snow-colored light suddenly lit up on his body: "What about this? How are you going to crack it?"

Frozen Kill, the Witch King's set comes with its own skill, centered on its own body, the temperature of the space within 50 meters of the surrounding area drops significantly, dealing 5 to 15 freezing damage per second to all hostile life, and slowing the target's speed by 25%. Targets affected by Freeze take an additional 30% damage when attacked by the user. Duration one minute.

This is a wide range of weakening skills, and if that's all it takes, the key problem is that the so-called thirty percent bonus damage isn't just limited to Arceth, but even includes the undead soldiers summoned by Arceth.

This undoubtedly greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the undead warriors.

At this moment, with the use of frozen killing, a new group of undead warriors has come out of the gates of hell, the caveman demon king. As soon as these spider-like cavemen walked out of the gates of hell, they attacked Lao Meng's undead warriors. Under the influence of the Frozen Killing, the attack from the Caveman was so powerful that the undead soldiers were quickly knocked across and turned into dry bones and fell on top of the ice field.

That's not all, Arces raised his hand sharply and pointed at one of the cavemen: "Dark transformation!"

I saw that the caveman suddenly roared, his body became larger in an instant, and countless sharp thorns were born from the black carapace, and a pair of strange long forefeet were inserted into the ground, and a row of barbs had risen from the ground, hitting several adventurers, throwing those people into the sky at the same time. When the adventurers fell to the ground, they were collectively dizzy.

This was the Crypt Lord's piercing skill, but it was performed by an ordinary caveman.

That's not all, the caveman swung his two front feet, and saw a large beetle burrow out of the corpse of the ghoul who had died earlier, and pounced fiercely on everyone.

Dark Transformation: The Lich King's unique leadership ability temporarily grants heroic abilities to specific targets for three minutes before dying. If the target has hero-level strength on its own, it can be permanently owned. Specific target Caveman can be transformed into a Crypt Lord, Undead Knight can be transformed into a Death Knight, Necromancer can be transformed into a Lich, Gargoyle can be transformed into a Dreadlord, Light Ranger can be transformed into a Dark Ranger......

In the Lich King's Dark Transformation Chart, there are a series of convertible targets, and the Caveman's transformation direction is the Cryptlord.

At this moment, a crypt lord suddenly appeared, and Shen Yi's arrangement was greatly disrupted.

Although it is only a temporary hero transformed by the caveman demon, it has fully inherited the strength of the hero level. The Crypt Lord himself is a meat shield-type hero, and after his birth at this moment, he is even more fearless to rush towards the adventurers, and the spiked carapace of the whole body can not only exert a powerful meat shield effect, but also directly reflect damage. Compared to the game, it can even be used as a weapon to attack directly.

The onslaught of this Crypt Lord immediately threw the rear adventurers' formation into chaos, and without the support from the rear, the pressure on the six people fighting Arceth in front also increased.

Arceth hit Chu Sheng with a death entanglement, Chu Sheng retreated sharply, and at the same time fished behind him, but found that he was empty, and the undead warrior who was supposed to be standing behind him as cannon fodder had been crushed by the crypt lord, and had already turned into dry bones and lay on the ground.

Just stunned for a moment, the death entanglement had already slammed into Chu Sheng's chest, knocking him away, and the strong corrosive energy almost eroded half of his body, but the rear failed to use the healing skill on him in time.

"Medical bullet!" Fortunately, Shen Yi made a timely move, and a double B-level medical bullet hit Chu Sheng. However, the healing effect of the medical bullet was slow, so that Chu Sheng did not dare to step forward immediately.

But he at least had time to call: "Shen Yi, how to deal with this?"

"There's no way, defend with all your might, and drag on for three minutes. Shen Yi replied loudly.

Regarding the transformation of darkness, Shen Yi really didn't prepare any good ways to deal with it. Mainly because there are so many targets for the Dark Transformation, both the Crypt Lord and the Death Knight. This kind of skill with extremely strong ability to change is inherently difficult to target, unless Shen Yi can kill all those caveman demon kings at the same time as they appear.

Not to mention that this is not easy to do, even if he can do it, he can kill this batch, but he can't kill the next batch.

Speaking of which, Arceth is also a demon god-level figure in the end, even if they are prepared, it is impossible to suppress the opponent all the way after all. It's not necessarily a big deal to let your opponent gain the upper hand once in a while, the key is not to let the opponent take the opportunity to overwhelm you.

However, this answer obviously could not satisfy Chu Sheng, and when he heard Shen Yi's answer, Chu Sheng's face immediately fell: "Damn!

"This is really not!" Shen Yi replied honestly.
