It's difficult for team players to defeat these mini-bosses, but that doesn't mean it's easy for solo players.
Even with its high physical constitution and elemental resistance, it would still suffer severe damage from taking six Nightmare Butterfly head-on.
However, it has the active skills [Life Crystal] and [Meticulous Mending], as well as the equipment passive skill [Forest's Nourishment].
Su Xi thought it was worth a try.
"Let's wait here."
Su Xi held Princess Beatrix's small hand, split off Kurumi Incarnation, and then released [Forbidden Curse Lv.1] and [Witch's Favor Lv.1] onto Kurumi Incarnation.
This gives Kurumi Incarnation's permanent attack power of 3836 points. If she activates the Third Bullet, her attack power will approach 4800 points.
Su Xi's true form transformed into Nymph, releasing the [Anti-Cognition System Lv.1].
[Anti-Cognition System Lv.1]
Cost: Consumes 10 mana per second
Active effect: Creates an information barrier that hinders cognition for yourself and your teammates (maximum: 3), preventing enemies from detecting you. However, the information barrier will be disabled if you actively use a skill or attack.
Simply put, it's an invisible state.
When not attacking or using skills, Nymph's presence cannot be detected by enemies without stealth abilities. However, if a teammate under the information barrier state attacks, the attacking player will be directly exposed to the enemy.
This is mainly to prevent Kurumi Incarnation from failing to pull monsters.
There was no way to defeat these Butterfly Fairy; their sheer numbers made them impossible to handle. Nymph could only resort to the traditional method of luring them over one by one and then killing them.
"Your Highness is amazing."
Princess Beatrix curiously pinched Nymph's blue hair, then touched her combat suit, before staring intently at Nymph's two transparent wings with great interest.
Nymph sighed and asked, "Isn't this Rose Fairy your friend? Aren't you worried?"
"I'm worried, but didn't Her Highness tell me to wait here?" Princess Beatrix blinked her emerald green eyes and said very obediently.
It seems they are genuinely waiting for Su Xi to find a solution.
A short while later, Kurumi Incarnation successfully lured one of the Butterfly Fairy over when they separated.
Kurumi dared not be careless, so she lured it to a place where she was sure it would not arouse the hatred of other Butterfly Fairy, and quickly launched the Aleph and the Third Bullet.
After applying the buff, to conserve mana, Kurumi canceled the [Anti-Cognition System] skill. Kurumi immediately raised her gun at Butterfly Fairy, and streaks of red light burst from the muzzle...
Bang, bang, bang...
-3405! -340 (Crystal Elemental Damage)!
-3511! -351 (Ice Elemental Damage)!
-7212 (Critical Hit)! -721 (Ice Elemental Damage)!
With the support of the Aleph and Third Bullet, Kurumi Incarnation's transformation reached its peak output, almost reaching 10,000 damage per second.
Unfortunately, neither skill lasts for long.
After the buffs disappear, only [Forbidden Curse Lv.1] and [Witch's Favor Lv.1] remain.
Despite this, the output per second remained between 3500 and 4000.
Kurumi's high output only allowed Butterfly Fairy to unleash Nightmare Butterfly once before she quickly entered a state of death.
"Nightmare Butterfly, let your enemies sink into the embrace of nightmares!!"
Butterfly Fairy screamed, and six butterflies carrying nightmare energy flew towards Kurumi Incarnation.
This skill has a tracking effect, so dodging is useless, but that doesn't mean Kurumi is doomed.
After all, the main body's health wouldn't be able to withstand the attack of those six Nightmare Butterfly.
"Hei!"
Kurumi Incarnation, raises the Time Gun against her true form.
Su Xi's main body gained a buff that allows her to foresee the future: for fifteen seconds, her dodge probability increases by 50%!
Then Su Xi canceled the Soul Split and Nymph Avatar, allowing Kurumi Incarnation to return to her original body, and then ran out to take the damage caused by the six Nightmare Butterfly.
-8374!
Dodge!
-8374!
Dodge!
Dodge!
-8374!
The main body's health was reduced slightly by this attack, leaving only a few points remaining.
Fortunately, the Hei was powerful, otherwise Su Xi would have had to consider whether to activate [Holy Tree Rejuvenation].
"Your Highness! Are you alright?" Princess Beatrix ran over anxiously, a green light shining from her palm.
Su Xi's health quickly recovered.
In just ten seconds, the lost health was fully restored.
It seems Princess Beatrix's healing skills are quite good, although they are not as good as my [Meticulous Mending].
Actually, whether Princess Beatrix has healing or not makes no difference. Her passive skill "Forest's Nourishment" allows her to recover 10% of her health per minute after leaving combat.
"The Descenders don't truly die in this world, so don't worry," Su Xi reassured her.
"Even so, don't bear it alone! We're adventure partners!" Princess Beatrix said, puffing out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
It's as if it's saying, "I'm a little angry."
Cough.
It would be much safer to kill the Butterfly Fairy from the Leaf Boat, but I'm afraid you won't agree.
Su Xi thought to herself.
The Butterfly Fairy's Nightmare Soul Body failed to kill the enemy and then turned into a pile of black particles, slowly dissipating.
"Ding! Congratulations on killing the elite monster [Butterfly Fairy]. Killing a monster one level higher grants you double the experience. You have gained 78,000 experience points."
A bunch of materials dropped at the spot where the monster disappeared.
Most of them are ordinary things that are not very valuable.
However, there was also a random rare skill book, which prevented Su Xi from losing too much.
Su Xi used it directly.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Forbidden Curse Lv.1]. Would you like to use the skill book?"
It turns out to be a skill specific to this profession.
"Use."
"Ding! Your proficiency in the profession skill [Forbidden Curse] has been improved, and the skill level has been increased to Lv.2."
[Forbidden Curse Lv.2]
Cost: 1500 mana
Passive effect: Skill damage +25%
Active effect: Casts a curse on teammates within a 9-meter radius, increasing their attack power and hit rate by 25% for 120 seconds, and inflicting the [Misfortune] status.
[Misfortune]: Cursed players will lose 1% of their health every second after 20 seconds.
Su Xi glanced at her attributes after leveling up.
The main skill damage increased by 5%, and the buff that increases teammates' attack power also increased by 5%.
Good.
The consumption of magic power also increases, making the already insufficient magic power even more scarce.
As for the other blue and white equipment, Su Xi simply put them up for auction.
Besides these insignificant pieces of equipment, Su Xi also discovered a rare-grade seed.
[Rose Fairy Seed]
Quality: Rare
Note: This is a rare elemental flower species. Successful cultivation will attract visits from Butterfly Fairy.
Um?
I never imagined that the Butterfly Fairy, whom I would have killed the moment I met her in my past life, would actually be available for recruitment.
Is it because these Butterfly Fairy haven't completely sided with the Fallen Ones yet?
