Chapter 313: The Lord of Shadows
When Midi and the others gradually got the hang of it and began to kill, the other three teams were already familiar with this shadow labyrinth.
Not only that, but the team led by Shandur, the senior brother and sister fought hand in hand, and their attack power was extremely strong, and they had already killed all the way to the rear of this labyrinth.
"With the talisman that Mr. Marcel gave us to prevent psychic abilities, and the special weapons against shadow creatures, this labyrinth is not worth mentioning at all!" Sandur held a true silver holy sword that glowed with golden light, and his tone was full of confidence.
At this moment, in this huge space behind the labyrinth, the other eight gates were tightly closed, which meant that his team was the first to arrive here.
However, this is also expected by Sandul.
The patrol team is relatively poorly equipped, and the muscles in the executive team have poor protection against psychic abilities.
As for the four outsiders, they actually chose the largest entrance to the maze on the far left, which means that the enemy they encountered was the strongest, and the maze area they needed to pass through was also the most complicated, and it was a question of whether they could come out without being dead.
While thinking in his heart, Sandur basically concluded that he was the biggest winner.
"Senior brother, the front should be the location of the Lord of Shadows. Shall we wait for the other teams?" Shelly looked into the depths of the labyrinth with some concern.
The enemies in this shadow labyrinth can be divided into three types, one is the lowest-level shadow creatures, the weakest ability, and in addition, the shadow knights, this kind of enemy is not only extremely strong and fast, but most importantly, every time they appear, they will bring at least thirty or more shadow creatures, which can be regarded as a small army.
And the King of Shadows is naturally the strongest existence to guard this labyrinth.
While the Trialists' goal is to traverse the Labyrinth of Shadows, not to defeat the Lord of Shadows, the terrain has become simpler and simpler at the back of the Labyrinth, and it is no easy task to bypass this formidable enemy.
"Getting through the maze first can have a higher reward, can't stop at this place. "Sandul had just killed a Shadow Knight, and was in high spirits, so he immediately rejected his junior sister's cautious proposal, "Let's go!"
The group then headed deeper into the labyrinth.
And in the next hour or so, the patrol team led by Roth, the execution team of the Scar Man, also came out of the gate one after another, and rushed to the area where the King of Shadows was located at the rear of the labyrinth.
Only the leftmost passage where Midi was still silent.
This is not because the speed of Midi and the others is too slow, on the contrary, but because after tasting the sweetness of Long Wei, they have no intention of speeding up at all.
After all, the ancient voice also said that the first to leave the shadow labyrinth can only get a "certain amount of reward", judging from the results of the spiritual path trial, at most a few hundred spiritual energy.
However, in this labyrinth, there are as many shadow creatures as you want!
Instead of bypassing the creatures, Midi and his party searched for shadow creatures to kill.
With the increase in the number of battles, Midi has become more and more proficient in the use of Longwei, and according to the characteristics of the team members, a set of efficient cleaning methods has been formed.
Necromancer Wiseman first summoned a group of skeleton warriors who were not affected by psychic abilities, and after entering the various branches of the labyrinth, he attracted a large number of shadow creatures, and then, Midi appeared and swept with the power of the dragon, while Avril and Reinhardt were single-minded to deal with, or to contain those powerful shadow knights, and after all the little brothers around him were cleaned up, the four of them rushed up to kill them.
Soon, the water level in the mind crystals of everyone in this team began to rise, and as for Midi, the spiritual energy obtained by one of them was equal to the sum of the other three, and the harvest was even richer.
Not only that, but as they fought again and again, Midi and the others gradually felt that their resistance to psychic abilities seemed to be increasing.
Because the death of every shadow creature and even the shadow knight will produce an effect similar to a psychic explosion, and the more you experience it, the more you will gradually develop resistance.
From this, Midi deduced that this shadow labyrinth was not just a level in the trial, but more likely, it was a kind of training ground used to train mind-trappers, and the effect was naturally a hundred times better than the training camp of the bloody purification.
In this way, there is no need to speed up at all, on the contrary, in this labyrinth of shadows, sweeping all the way through will get the greatest gain.
When Midi and his party finally walked out of the gate, basically, everyone's mind crystals had been filled with more than one-third, and as for Midi, it had reached nearly half of the level.
But just when Midi's team was satisfied, they suddenly found that the other three teams were already waiting behind the labyrinth, but they did not have any joy of passing through the labyrinth, on the contrary, each team of centaurs was dejected, and there were many scars on their bodies.
"There's an enemy ahead?" Midi asked, aloud.
The Scar Man and Sandul were angry, and they just threw an angry look at Midi's question, and they didn't answer it at all.
Only the one from the patrol faction, Rot, who had a good impression of his brother Roy's savior, came over and explained: "In the exit area of the Shadow Labyrinth, there is a Shadow King guarding the town, we have just gone up separately to test it, and then we also joined forces to have a battle, but we still can't beat that guy. ”
It turns out that just as the Shadow Knights will command a group of shadow creatures, the King of Shadows will also command a large group of shadow knights, plus the shadow creatures under the command of the Shadow Knights, guarding the exit of the labyrinth, it can be regarded as a large army.
What's more, the Lord of Shadows not only has a great individual power, but he also has a very troublesome ability, which is the ability to create shadow creatures.
In this way, no matter how many enemies are killed, or even a war of attrition, as long as the Shadow King is not destroyed, then the size of this shadow army will never change, and it will naturally seem tricky.
"The Lord of Shadows himself is about level 64, which happens to be one level higher than Sandul, and with ten Shadow Knights under him, plus about four hundred shadow creatures, there is no possibility of defeating him at all. Roth sighed and came to this conclusion.
The only way for these three factions to negotiate is to lure away the Shadow King's army first, and then rush out of the exit, so that they can successfully conquer the Shadow Labyrinth and enter the next level.
Perhaps, this is the true meaning of "through the labyrinth of shadows is victory", the king of shadows, invincible.
The question is, the tactics are recognized, but who executes them?
It would be extremely dangerous to lure the Lord of Shadows away, and more importantly, if you do, you will lose the possibility of moving on to the next stage.
Entering the labyrinth of the mind and becoming a top mechanizer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no one wants to stay as bait, not to mention, the three factions are wary of each other, and no one wants to contribute on their own side.
In this situation, Midi couldn't help but think of an old saying in the Arad continent - one ranger has water to drink, two rangers grab water to drink, and three rangers have no water to drink.
Now that the arrival of the four outsiders is naturally unlikely to change the situation.
After all, in the eyes of several other teams, the average level of Midi's team is very low, only a level 60 professional, and he has not been fully prepared before, but only understands the basic situation of some psychic labyrinths, and there are no accessories on his body that effectively protect the psychic ability, nor weapons against shadow creatures, what power can he exert in the battle against the King of Shadows?
"Actually, it's not difficult to defeat the Lord of Shadows. Midi listened to Rot's account, but smiled slightly.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other trialists suddenly appeared with surprise and suspicion at the same time.
"It's too risky to lure the Lord of Shadows away, the bait is extremely risky, and once the bait is killed halfway, then the rest of the people are also very risky, this method is not advisable, instead, we should try to kill the Lord of Shadows, which is the safest way to get through the Labyrinth of Shadows. Midi concluded.
"Level 64, with psychic abilities, and a large group of guards who also have psychic abilities, this strength is stronger than the Mind Flayer in the sect headquarters, how can you kill it?"
"Looking at this level 64 King of Shadows alone, it's still not as good as the Mind Flayer, right?" said Midi eloquently, "It's still the army of shadow creatures that is difficult, so why don't you change your mind, lure the army away, and then kill the King of Shadows?"
Lead away the army and kill the King of Shadows alone!
Midi's thought suddenly lit up the eyes of the trialists around him.
None of them are stupid, but they are not from a command background like Midi, and they don't know anything about various tactics, so they can't think of this level, but now that they have put it forward, as long as they estimate it, they can immediately judge that the feasibility and success rate of this idea are far greater than those previous ideas.
However, there is a problem with the idea of separating the Lord of Shadows from his army, which is that it is very tactically demanding, and it requires even more coordination.
Now there are a total of fifteen people on the field, belonging to four factions, and how to achieve that level of cooperation is the biggest difficulty.
"I'll be the commander. Midi said in a tone of course.
Immediately, the offer drew contempt and distrust from Sandur and the Scar Man, and even Roth showed hesitation and suspicion.
As for the attitude of the three parties, Midi was already prepared, just smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, at that time, my team will rush to the front and be responsible for killing the Shadow King, and you just need to lure those Shadow Knights away, how about this?"
