Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Heart of the Oak

The battle against Baal lasted four and a half days, a day and a half ahead of schedule - when you're ready for everything, success can sometimes come easier than you think.

Except for the killing of the little nurse once, there were no further incidents in the subsequent battle.

There's no such thing as Baal using teleportation to escape, and there's no such thing as this guy hiding any super ultimate—it's perverted enough that there's no need to be perverted.

If it weren't for the fact that you could repeatedly enter and exit the home arena to prepare for it, and if there wasn't a teleportation point that could come and go repeatedly to recover the consumption, theoretically adding two more Broken Blade teams would not be able to defeat this five-difficulty final boss.

In a way, it was no less difficult to eliminate Barr than they were to eliminate Diablo in the second difficulty, but the home advantage greatly offset the disadvantages and saved everyone from having to pay the same huge price as they once did.

When Baal fell down again, Megatron took the last soul in the sky, and Baal couldn't get back up again, everyone cheered with excitement at the same time.

On the contrary, it was Shen Yi who let out a long sigh.

He sighed not because of anything else, but because the strength of the five difficulties was actually far beyond what he knew at the beginning - he once thought that with Megatron, he could make up for the difference in strength between the four and five difficulties, but in the face of a Diablo five difficulty that has been weakened in essence compared to the interstellar world, everyone has to pay a lot of energy and price in order to win.

It is conceivable that on the real interstellar battlefield, what kind of demon king is not as good as a dog, and the demon god is full of realms.

In front of the overwhelming Zerg who flew like locusts, in front of all kinds of broods that were as powerful as demon gods, what kind of hard battles did the adventurers have to go through in order to win a small victory.

Perhaps, the strength of the Broken Blade team can already go sideways in the four difficulties, but they still have a lot of needs and space to improve their strength.

The gap in strength is getting bigger and bigger the higher you go!

It was precisely because of this realization that Shen Yi did not feel the slightest bit excited, but became more determined to improve himself at all costs in the next three task worlds of the four difficulties.

King Kong came to Shen Yi with the diamond box dropped by Baal and handed the box to him: "In four and a half days, 126 bottles of various potions were consumed, with a total value of 86,000 points, the Demon God Spear fired 80 times, which is equivalent to 43,200 energy consumption, a recovery scroll, a paralysis ring was used, three talismans, a box of healing bullets, half a box of armor-piercing bullets, a box of spirit bullets, 2 and a half bottles of Haina bottles, plus the divine soul of the fallen angels...... Let's hope Baal can give a decent reward. ”

"Don't count on it, in this case, if you don't lose, you win. Shen Yi took the box and opened it.

Sure enough, there were only four rewards in it.

A heart of Baal, the sacrifice, considering the level strength of this guy, is estimated to have more than six hundred points of glory, which should be able to make up for the consumption of buying a henna bottle and a recovery scroll.

A bloodline of the Demon God Destroyer, which should be the most valuable part of all the rewards. Baal's attacks are so ferocious that once in the hands of adventurers, they can be so powerful that they can be imagined.

A summoning scroll of the Gates of Hell, a one-time consumable, can open the Gates of Hell, and continuously release the demons of Hell to attack opponents, lasting for one hour, with 30,000 HP points and 200 defense. This item can only be used by the adventurer who owns the Demon Slot, and the quantity and quality of the Demon released depends on the user's Slot.

In the end, there are five rune stones, but they are not in a set, presumably because the other rewards have not been cut, so there is no compensation.

Overall, Barr's rewards are still decent, if you don't take into account the investment in skills and equipment, and simply compare the consumption, it is barely even.

For everyone, this is already a very proud thing.

After killing Barr, the next thing is Morpheus.

Since the city considers the overall strength when calculating the strength of the demon god, and the adventurers always consider the probability of survival, although Morpheusto's overall damage ability is stronger than Baal, the lack of instantaneous lethality makes him far less threatening to adventurers than Baal.

This is also the result of different needs.

However, there is also a difficulty in dealing with Morpheus, that is, this guy is not Baal, as a hidden boss it can appear anywhere, and the strategic location of the teleportation point is basically useless in the battle with Morpheus.

After resting for a while, everyone regained their strength and spirit and prepared to continue fighting.

Before asking Megatron to lure Morpheus out, Shen Yi first asked Decakane to help him synthesize the existing rune stones to see if he could further improve everyone's strength.

After seeing the rune stones, the old man said that the runes that Shen Yi needed were still a little worse, but the other sets of runes could be synthesized now.

Chain of Glory: Applies to armor, increasing armor defense by 50% and increasing health regeneration.

Hand of Justice: Applies to weapons, reduces stop time, increases attack speed, and freezes the effect by more than 10%.

Heart of Oak: Applies to staff-type weapons, reducing mental power consumption by 20%, shortening cooldown time by 20%, increasing cast range by 20%, and giving the weapon a mental power recovery skill, which can be used twice a day at a time to restore mental power by 40 points each time.

These three sets of runes are all quite good runes, but because the required rune stones occupy each other, they can only choose to combine one set in the end.

Shen Yi finally chose to synthesize the heart of the oak tree, and Shi Mumu used a staff weapon, and this set of runes was the most suitable for her. Dealing with Morpheus also requires relying on her powerful recovery skills, and improving her is also a reduction in its own cost. In addition, she and Ivy are sisters, and she is a very low-key person, and she is also a good girl, so Shen Yi doesn't mind helping her more.

However, this battle also made Shen Yi realize that the Broken Blade team still lacked a lot in terms of lasting combat power.

Starting from the four difficulties, the strength of the demon god has generally risen, the number of gods and souls is large, there is no full-time nurse, and it is far from enough to consume it by relying on a small amount of everyone's own recovery skills or drinking potions, and the cost is too high.

The reason why the ash chariot has Meryl is because the Purgatory Sect is well aware of the problems in the later stage of the city, so they have made great efforts to configure it early on the logistics staff.

Unfortunately, before it could play its real role, the Ash Chariot was beaten by the Broken Blade team.

Now they can complete this home cleanup with the help of Shi Mumu, and they will have to rely on themselves to face other tasks in the future.

With the blessing of the Heart of the Oak Tree, Shi Mumu's recovery ability has been improved again, and everyone is more confident in dealing with Morpheus.

Let Megatron go out for a spin, and it didn't take long for Morpheus to be lured out again.

A new battle breaks out.

Unlike against Baal, this time not only M7 and the Dragon's Tooth team continue to leave the battlefield, but even the fat Zhou Yiyu Weina and Wen Rou are also out of the battlefield.

There are only four people who fight with Morpheus in close combat: Megatron, Shen Yi, Hong Lang, and King Kong.

Three hundred meters away from the battlefield, Shi Mumu, Wen Rou, Zhou Yiyu, Fat Man, Bumblebee and Hera and a large number of Terminators formed the second echelon.

At this distance, the gentle Blade of Judgment can still deal damage to Morpheus, Shi Mumu's spells and Fat Man's aura can still work on everyone, and Bumblebee Hera and the Terminator's ranged attacks can also work.

And in their rear, it was Luo Sheng, Lao Meng and the others who formed the third echelon, and they continued to maintain the supply of spiritual power, while Lao Meng sent undead soldiers to the front at a rate of one every half a minute, serving as cannon fodder to absorb firepower.

This echelon arrangement ensures that when Morpheus uses his ultimate ability, only a minimum number of people will take damage, and since Shi Mumu's life salute consumes mental power according to the number of people, when Shi Mumu only protects three people, his spiritual power is enough to use with the support of everyone, which makes their consumption of potions and power stones to a minimum.

For Shen Yi, eliminating Morpheus is no longer a problem, how to kill Morpheus at the lowest cost is the key - killing a Barr has already cost them a lot, and from Morpheus it will be necessary to earn some money back anyway.

Speaking of which, Morpheus was also unlucky.

In terms of real combat power, Morpheusto, who has six arms and six weapons, is even stronger than Baal in melee combat, and each of his attacks is three times that of other bosses, and the inherent skills of six weapons alone are enough to discourage adventurers. However, this factor was negated by Megatron's presence, making him completely unable to use his melee strengths.

His continuous killing skills are not threatening because of Shi Mumu and the others. Since there were only three adventurers fighting against him, not to mention Shi Mumu, even Wei Na, Fat Man, Luo Sheng and others could treat Shen Yi and them. With fifteen people supporting three people to fight, the lasting combat power of the Broken Blade team can be imagined.

However, this was not the greatest restraint for him.

It was Shen Yi himself who really restrained him.

In the frantic attack of Hong Lang King Kong and others, Morpheus finally fell down again after letting out an unwilling cry, and Shen Yi quickly bullied him, and he had continuously used plundering against Morpheus.

This time he was lucky, and the plunder finally succeeded.

"You've obtained a double A-class special weapon, the Heaven-Hating Claw. ”

"Attack power 78-82. Built-in Special Effect Madness: Attacks the target to produce a madness and confusion effect, reminding the victim of all unpleasant memories of the past, deepening the pain and inspiring hatred. ”

This is a rather headache weapon, in the previous two battles, Morpheus had used this weapon to cause chaos in the Broken Blade team, fortunately, Shen Yi had the holy blood revival to crack it, but his dragon blood had been consumed a lot under the continuous transformation, and he couldn't withstand such a toss again and again, so Shen Yi was the first to plunder this weapon.

Getting this weapon, Shen Yi threw it casually, threw it to Wei Na, and said in a long voice: "This is yours." ”

Weina smiled and accepted it.

When Morpheus came back to life, he was shocked to find that he had one less weapon in his hand.

Looking at his stunned face, Shen Yi said leisurely: "Don't worry, man, we have a game." I promise, I'll take all your weapons off you. The more you are resurrected, the more chances I have. ”

"I want all six of your weapons!"
