Chapter 12: Veronica, the Evil Warlock
After Ivas recalls the identity of the evil bartender, he thoroughly recalls the details of this copy:
The first elite enemy, the "Evil Bartender", is a level 15 demon. The main mechanic is that after gaining momentum, it will launch a powerful attack that can be dodged, cannot be parried, and can knock the player back, and does not completely eat hatred. This mechanic is about fifteen seconds per round. If knocked back, it is easy to hit tables, chairs, walls, and other players, dealing secondary damage and stunning them.
Also, if the player is close enough to him - within a meter - they will immediately eat the attack, regardless of whether they have hatred or not. Therefore, if the front row is repulsed, it is easy to expose the back row.
The first time his HP is hit below 30%, he will enter a demonized state. Attack speed, movement speed, and the frequency with which the first ability is activated are doubled.
Other than that, there is no other mechanism. The mechanic can be hard-eaten with a knockback-prevention skill, or it can be dodged. It also allows the melee output class to approach him from behind when the engine is about to be built, and continue to pull back the aggro by the tank after eating the mechanic. In this case, it will become a pure stake boss.
And the second child of this copy is a demon dog created by a high-level demon scholar, called the "Vicious Dog" shell. It is characterized by high-frequency attacks, and is inflammatory, armor-piercing, and poisonous. And every 10% drop in HP will clear the aggro, so it's not difficult to pay a little attention.
Of course, if it were in reality, it would definitely be impossible for the boss to come out one by one to save the gourd baby. If the bartender and the vicious dog appear at the same time, it becomes difficult to fight.
…… But now, the vicious dog is gone.
The moment he saw the bald woman's face, Ivus immediately reacted.
The one who made this "vicious dog" should be the bald man who was killed by himself that night!
- because this woman is the same "apprentice" who met with Ivus that night!
Many fragments immediately reassembled in his mind, forming new clues to events:
According to the original history, it should have been the player's sudden appearance that scared the two away, and saved Ivus, who was already on the ritual stage, and blocked the arrival of the Shadow Fiend. The man then left, creating the "Vicious Dog" to guard the secret stronghold.
And the "Pelican Bar" should have something to do with the "Noble Red" association.
Or rather, this was an outpost of their organization in Avalon.
The reason why it is said to be an outpost......
It's because even Ivus, who can't remember the plot clearly, knows that the mysterious association of "Noble Red" is actually the skin of the spies of the Star Antimony Kingdom in the folk!
The top leaders of this association are all agents of the Star Antimony Kingdom - they support the suppressed demon scholars in the Avalon Kingdom by distributing demonology books and forbidden ritual materials.
Of course, the two people who came to Aihuas should not be qualified enough to know this kind of secret.
He then remembered why this incident could involve a certain minister in Avalon.
Now, because he killed the man at that time, the vicious dog here in the bar is gone.
- It doesn't mean much, but history has changed a small part of it!
And the apprentice who escaped that day was Veronica, the evil magician. A level 19 demon scholar is one step away from reaching the third energy level.
Players affectionately refer to her as Big Purple or Bald Girl.
Because this is the lowest level among the bosses who can drop red robes, there are quite a lot of big purple brushes. Although the red robe is not good-looking and has no attributes, it can open the event line of the "Noble Red" association.
There are four books and a good staff that can be obtained in that event line, and the four books give a lot of skill experience, so players who are demon scholars will have to do it sooner or later.
Compared to the first two bosses that Ivus had forgotten, Veronica's mechanics were much more difficult to beat.
- Just like now, she came out with the ball in her hands.
Fifteen seconds after the opening scene, she will directly name the player with the highest hatred, unleashing a high-speed, weakly tracked "Cursed Baby". If you can't dodge this skill, you will die directly.
This big damage is impossible to eat at this level without damage reduction skills and invincibility skills. It takes about a tank profession of more than 30 levels, and after the limit is lifted, you won't die if you eat this trick. So you can only hide.
Players killed by her in battle will be immediately sacrificed by her to summon a little demon. The little devil is not difficult to fight, and it is a matter of three rounds of fire. But when the corpse is sacrificed, it means that it is impossible to resurrect the replenishment in battle.
This quest is a four-player book, and if the opening mechanic is not dodged, it will directly reduce the number of combatants by a quarter - or even a tank in a high possibility.
The follow-up is not difficult, that is, it will continue to periodically release an increasingly painful group injury. The higher the stacks, the slower the movement speed and attack speed, until one player dies, and the other players' stacks will not be reset to zero.
As long as there are no dead people in the first round of mechanics, you can basically grab blood by gathering fire; Otherwise, the healer will have to send himself to death when he can't lift the blood line, and empty the layers for other teammates. If you don't pass this time, you won't be able to.
It's different from the first two bosses. The first two don't need to check the strategy at all, and they can be beaten blindly depending on the situation. If Veronica doesn't look at the strategy and fights directly, there is a high probability that she will be destroyed once at first sight.
It can only be said that this boss can be played.
Before he came out, he secretly used the ritual to hold back the big move, and tried to reduce one player at the beginning. Instead of holding back until you're about to burp like the bosses of other games, this output mode is very similar to that of the player, with a set of bursts at the beginning.
As a therapeutic profession, Aihuas must look at the strategy.
If the tank or DPS didn't handle the mechanics in the first place, he would have to die. After playing for a long time, he is extremely proficient.
- But after all, it is the boss of the original dungeon, and players must be getting lazier and lazier after fighting for a long time.
So the players also studied Veronica's skipping class play.
And to put it bluntly, it's very simple.
Aihuas's previous preparation was also for this moment-
His left hand, hidden under the cloak, opened slightly, and the power of the shadows silently gathered between his fingers. The "Enchanted Card: Shadow Blade" he created last night appeared in the distorted void. He was sandwiched between his index and middle fingers.
In order to distract Veronica, Ivas spoke with great calm, "There are so many flaws you have left behind - more than countless.
"The time when I found out the truth was even a little slower than half a beat. I'm sure if it was the famous Mr. Sherlock, he would have guessed it the first time. ”
As he spoke, the pistol in his right hand moved slightly closer to the "Moon" tarot card in his left hand.
The moment the gun comes into contact with a tarot card rewritten as "Enchanted Card: Shadow Blade".
As soon as Ivus's mind moved, the enchanted card he was holding in his left hand suddenly turned into a cloud of shadows, dipped into the women's pistol he held in his right hand.
Immediately, he raised his pistol generously. Aim for Veronica, the evil magician.
The red-robed woman also recognized Aihuas's identity at this time.
She had wanted to ask Ivus how you survived that night - she didn't hesitate to turn around and flee the moment she saw the Shadow Fiend get out of control and kill her mentor. He didn't know that it was Ivus who controlled the Shadow Fiend, but he thought that the mentor contract had failed.
But seeing Ivus's ridiculous behavior, the doubts and vigilance in his heart were covered with contempt.
She couldn't help but laugh, and didn't even bother to dodge: "You don't think this kind of thing can work for me, do you?"
"Made by elves, lady's grip, five bullets - am I right? Do you think it will work for me?
"I didn't even bother to dodge. Why don't I just stand here and give you a shot? ”
