Chapter 45: The Devil's Gate
This time Alces really has no hole cards.
As a battlefield commander-type figure, most of Arces's abilities are built on his troops. Evil Aura, Death Pact, Dark Transfiguration, Manipulation of Dead Bodies, four out of seven abilities are directly related to the undead troops.
With the death of the Blood Feast and the collapse of the Gates of Hell, Arceth's troops perished, and the naked Alceth's combat power immediately dropped by half.
Although the Blood Feast is a super summon, the price paid for this summoning is also huge, that is, it can no longer summon any other troops, resulting in a weak follow-up. Although the Blood Feast has strong vitality and attack power, it does not belong to the boss itself, and all kinds of means will not weaken it.
This means that even if the Grim Reaper's gaze doesn't succeed, they still have a gentle emerald wound.
In short, there is a huge gap between bosses and non-bosses, and as long as they are not bosses, many powerful skills can work as they should.
By the time the battle progressed, adventurers finally got an idea of Arceus' fighting style. The cooperation between each other is more subtle, although Arceth's normal attack is still sharp and powerful, but as we know, normal attack is not a skill in the end, there is a lot of uncertainty, even as a boss, Alceth is also limited by the strength of the play.
Especially Arceus, as a dexterous demon god, when Arces has a strong ability to evade attacks, it also invisibly weakens his strength, and in this regard, he is too far behind Diablo and others. In a sense, Diablo can be compared to a flood and Arces to Shen Yi, and the huge difference between the two can be seen.
Those who can maintain full power in extreme evasion, so far, I'm afraid that only the demon hunter profession is the one. (Although Juggernaut can also hit a fatal blow in extreme evasion, it is not equal to three times the full strength, but three times the strength of the attack at that time, and the nature is different)
Naturally, Arces couldn't do this, so what awaited him was the ravages of the adventurers' wheel tactics.
Except for Hong Lang and Chu Sheng, as the main battle force, who fought to the death in front and did not retreat, all the other adventurers were divided into three groups. The first line is responsible for the main attack, and at least three undead warriors are always followed by him, acting as cannon fodder to resist Arceth's second attack at any time.
The second line is responsible for adding various auxiliary states to Hong Lang and Chu Sheng, and curse Arceth.
The third line rests to recover the depleted mental energy. Although the recovery is not enough due to the limited time, it can save some losses.
Bumblebee, Hera, and Iron Bull are the three Transformers who are responsible for sweeping the formation. Their mission is to save people, and if anyone is in danger, they will immediately resist Arceus's attack, and resolutely do not give their opponents a chance to chase and kill.
As time passed, the tacit understanding between each other's cooperation gradually matured, and it was only at this time that everyone finally had a hint of the feeling of fighting the boss.
Many things go smoothly once they get into the rhythm.
Speaking of which, although the Demon God is powerful, the gap between the adventurer and the Demon God is not as big as the gap between the player and the ultimate boss in the game.
After all, a game is a game, and players can come back to life after death, and they can learn from experience and start over. If it doesn't work once, you can do it again. In the urban world, there are too few opportunities for resurrection, and the cost is too great, and the difficulty gap cannot be so large.
Therefore, after removing the variable of the Blood Feast, Shen Yi and the others finally did not encounter any other troubles.
When the battle reached the fortieth minute, Arceus finally let out a long howl and fell down unwillingly, which was the result of Shen Yi's deliberate control of time. At the same time that Arceth fell, Shen Yi had already made a lightning move and used plunder against Arces. As long as even one piece of Arceus's equipment can be plundered, it will lead to the weakening of Arceus's strength.
However, this time his luck was not good, and none of his three shots were successful. Of course, it's not all a matter of luck, the boss itself enjoys a special bonus, and the chance of success in plundering is halved for the boss.
As Arces fell, the four spirits in the sky lit up like stars.
They didn't fly fast at first, just hovering in the air, like a mischievous elf. But Shen Yi knew that this was just an illusion, and as soon as someone tried to attack or catch it, these little things would immediately show their terrifying nature, frantically attacking any existence that tried to prevent its resurrection.
"Don't do it! don't catch them!" Shen Yi shouted.
But there were still adventurers who didn't take Shen Yi's warning to heart, and one of the members of the Eternal Night couldn't resist the temptation of the divine soul, and stretched out his big hand to grab one of the divine souls.
"Damn, retreat!" Shen Yi shouted urgently.
The adventurer ignored it, in his mind, as long as he could capture even one divine soul, he would not only reduce the number of rebirths of Arces, but also reap great benefits for himself.
Just as the big hand was about to grab the divine soul, the divine soul suddenly released a sun-like brilliance, flew at the adventurer, snapped into his hand, instantly smashed his right hand, and the aftermath continued unabated, and once again fiercely hit the adventurer's chest, straight through his chest, flying out from the opponent's back, leaving a hole as big as a skull on the adventurer's body.
This Divine Soul attack completely ignores any form of defense, and the power is terrifying!
"Ahh
This scene is very similar to what happened to the members of the Yunhai team at the beginning.
History repeats itself in astonishing ways - there are always people who don't respect history, there are always people who think they can be that unique exception.
Seeing that the adventurer had been hit hard, everyone finally learned to be obedient and did not dare to disturb the resurrection of Arceus.
Shen Yi pulled the adventurer back, and while using despicable medical techniques on him, he shouted in his ear: "I told you not to touch that thing!"
Looking at the big hole in his chest, even his heart was pierced by the divine soul, Shen Yi knew that it was impossible to save him without a strong potion, so he ruthlessly took out a bottle of full recovery potion and poured it into him.
It's not that he has no way to deal with these gods, there is still a godcatcher net in his heraldic space, which is used to deal with this kind of small thing, but the problem is that Arceth's gods and souls are not the target he wants to obtain.
The most suitable for the Lich King's divine soul is the undead bloodline, and Shen Yi didn't plan to let anyone in the team become as virtuous as Lao Meng, so he didn't plan to ask for this thing.
In addition, in the mission world of Warcraft, there are a large number of demon gods, according to the data, in the attack of the Burning Legion fifteen days later, Kil'Gardan will appear, this is a much more powerful demon god than the Lich King, and even the dead Akmund and Salas will be resurrected.
These demon gods are stronger than one another, and it is best to rob their souls, reduce their resurrections, and buff themselves. What's more, the benefits of the Lich King are shared by everyone, but the benefits of the Burning Legion belong to whoever grabs them. Shen Yi wasn't interested in being Lei Feng, so he didn't mind fighting Arces for five rounds at all.
Seeing that the medicine took effect and one of the adventurers' lives was pulled back from the brink of death, Shen Yi looked up at the divine souls that were still fusing in the sky, and nodded to Pandora: "It's time for you to make a move." β
Pandora has summoned the Demon Gate, and at the same time has taken out the Demon Battle Banner and plunged it into the ground.
B-rank Skill Demon's Gate (Medium): A powerful skill that can be used to summon demons to descend. This skill belongs to the intermediate Demon Gate summoning, which can summon demons below level 15, the total number cannot exceed thirty, and the total level must not exceed seventy-two. After the demon dies, it is automatically replenished, it lasts for one hour, the life of the demon gate is 3,000 points, and all summoned demons disappear after being broken, and the spirit is consumed by 28 points. Ability cooldown is four hours.
As the demon's door opened, Styx dolls stepped out of the door.
The combat power of these little things is average, but their ability to self-detonate is really a deep headache for everyone. I didn't expect Shen Yi to let Pandora summon this kind of thing, and his tactical purpose was unknown, and he was going to play a suicide attack again.
As the Styx doll walked out, Pandora asked Shen Yi, "Where are you arranging them?"
"Behind me. Shen Yi replied.
Pandora was shocked, but the next moment she still commanded the Styx Doll to come behind Shen Yi and hide in the ground.
The fusion of the four divine souls in the sky has entered the end.
When that light flashed, the four spirits disappeared without a trace, and everyone knew that Arceus had come back to life.
As if out of the void, as soon as Arceth appeared, he stood behind Shen Yi, waving a huge frost sorrow, and Arceth howled: "Die, damn human!"
Shen Yi chuckled and said to himself without looking back: "You know, the one who knows you best is always your enemy." β
As he said this, just as Frost Sorrow was about to slash him, a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the ground.
Thirty Styx dolls jumped out at the same time and launched a suicide attack on Arceth. A series of ferocious explosions blew him directly into the air, and the powerful shock wave did not even let Shen Yi go, shocking him away, Shen Yi spit out a mouthful of blood, kneeling on the ground and barely standing up, but he covered his chest and laughed.
That was the pride of the successful calculation of Arces.
He used this tactic to calculate Diablo, and now he used this tactic to calculate Arceus. Tactics is not to write novels, not to ask for new ones every time, there are no clichΓ©s, only classics. Therefore, any tactic can be used again and again until it is useless, as long as it is useful.
Arceth never dreamed that he would suffer such a heavy blow as soon as he was resurrected, the self-explosion power of thirty Styx dolls was extraordinary, coupled with the bonus of the Demon Battle Banner, even if it was only affected by the aftermath, Shen Yi could be seriously injured, not to mention Alces, who was hit head-on.
Arceth roared angrily: "The gates of hell, open!"
With Arceth's resurrection after death, all of his abilities were reset, so the already crumbling Gates of Hell were finally restored to use.
This time, though, it's no longer ghouls that come out of it, but a team of ghost knights.
As the ghost rider rushed out, Arceth pointed at the knight at the head: "Dark transformation!"
A ghost knight instantly transforms into a death knight and charges at the crowd.
That's not all, Arceth's body shook, and he continued to roar: "Frozen Kill! Frost Nova!"
This guy released five skills in one go, and then another death entanglement hit Shen Yi, he was far more angry with Shen Yi than anyone else, and he must chase him to death.
But Shen Yi seemed to already know Arceth's mentality, and drank a bottle of magic immunity potion, Arceth's second combo failed, and shouted at the same time: "Retreat!"
Everyone retreated at the same time, facing a powerful and furious enemy, and it was best to take a break from the edge.
Meanwhile, Pandora's Demon Gate has changed its summon target.
This time, it was a screaming banshee who walked out of the door.
As soon as he saw the Screaming Banshee appear, Arceth's face immediately changed.
This screaming banshee is the kind of banshee in the undead camp, and its abilities are exactly the same as those of the undead. The most terrifying thing about them is that they have an ability called "Possession", which can take over a powerful target and make it change sides. Of course, it is useless against bosses or particularly powerful targets, so it cannot be used on the transformed Death Knight and Blood Feast.
This kind of banshee with strong spiritual ability, Lao Meng's undead soul creation technique can't be done, and can only rely on the summoning of the demon gate. With this banshee, the ghost knight of Arceth immediately encountered a nemesis.
Seeing the screaming banshee emerge from the demon's gate, and just as the banshee was about to take possession of an undead knight, Arceth rushed over and slashed at the banshee.
The banshee was killed on the spot before she could take possession, but another banshee had already floated out of the demon's gate. Arces had no choice but to chase him down again.
Seeing one banshee after another from the Demon Gate, Arceth was impatient, so he rushed to the Demon Gate and attacked the door directly.
The Demon Gate also has 3,000 life force in the end, and although Arceth's attack is strong, it can't be solved with one or two swords, not to mention that in order to protect his ghost knight, he has to kill the screaming banshee who walks out of the door from time to time.
Just as he was about to cut down the demonic gate, he suddenly heard a loud bang not far behind him.
Arces looked back in amazement, only to see that his gates of hell had collapsed with it.
Standing next to the Gates of Hell, Shen Yi smiled and raised his middle finger at Arceth.
ββββββββββ
Like the Devil's Gate, the Hell's Gate has its own life force. It's just that from the summoning of the demon god Arceth, the life of the gate of hell is now stronger, and there are as many as 12,000 points.
It is extremely difficult to destroy this gate of hell in battle, and if you don't get it right, it will be taken advantage of by Arces and kill your own personnel, so Shen Yi does not dare to give such an order easily.
But when Arceth was reborn, Arces, who was in a state of rage, used all his ultimates at first, and then he was attracted by the Demon Gate, which gave Shen Yi a chance to exchange attacks - his evasion of the edge was fake, and the attack on the Gate of Hell was real.
After the four of them were separated and a large number of undead soldiers blocked the undead cavalry, everyone else followed him and slammed into the gates of hell. At this time, Arceth was still slashing at the Demon Gate, and he never dreamed that Shen Yi and the others were actually slashing the door like him.
Even if he thought about it, it would be useless, as long as the Demon Gate still existed, those screaming banshees also had a great restraint effect on Arceth.
Although Arceth's attack was strong and the Hell's Gate was also very vigorous, it couldn't stand the full force of more than twenty adventurers who slammed it with all their scruples. More than twenty people teamed up to deal damage, but it was definitely higher than Arceus. In a sense, if everyone stood still and bombarded each other, then most of the people who died in the end would be Arceus, but the adventurers would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and no one would do such a stupid thing. Therefore, they blasted down the gates of hell before Arces did.
Exchanging the Demon Gate for the Hell Gate is extremely suitable for Shen Yi, after all, Pandora is just one person, and the Hell Gate is the foundation of Arces's strength. What's more, Pandora is not her own person after all, and she is always a little uneasy to use, rather than putting it there to play a role slowly, it is better to squeeze her use value in a short period of time, and then throw it aside to dry, so as not to worry about her making trouble.
Arces is in trouble.
Without his own troops, his strength was hit again, and he returned to the state he was in before his rebirth.
It's just that this time is worse than last time, he finally recruited the Blood Banquet before, and also recruited two rounds of troops to assist him, but this time he was killed by Shen Yi after only one round, and he couldn't even recruit the Blood Banquet.
Seeing a group of adventurers lunge at him after taking out the gates of hell, Arceus's heart was cold, and he knew that he would probably have to be reborn again.
He finally swung his sword, slashed at the demon's gate, gritted his teeth, and said, "Next time...... I'm going to kill you all next time!"
