In an instant, many players looked up at Margaret was hanging upside down from the cave ceiling, happily scooping up fries.
Although area-of-effect (AoE) attacks before the battle are a common tactic for bosses.
Although the "first encounter kill" mechanic is a common design in this type of game,
Although Ed would reduce everyone's resurrection cost to one-tenth or even one-hundredth during large-scale raids,
but!
A boss that only annoys people from outside its attack range is still a pure example of a weak boss.
If conditions permit, this giant spider must be torn to pieces!
A string of rather offensive curses erupted from the players who had taken a hit from the area-of-effect attack. Some of the curses were in the Kingdom Language, which Margaret could understand, while others were in various languages that she couldn't.
Although she couldn't fully grasp the meaning, she understood that the guys below weren't exactly known for their clean mouths.
The offended duke merely curled his lips into a slight smile before launching an even more intense "acid rain" attack, leaving the players below drenched and groaning in agony.
However, to avoid harming her own people, Margaret only sprayed acid rain outside the wooden wall.
Once players have passed through this area and entered the wooden wall, they no longer need to worry about attacks from above.
It just means facing even more Blood Corpse- soaked zombies.
Inside the wooden wall, Ed, who was at the forefront, had already taken the lead and begun fighting the Blood Corpse.
At this moment, in front of him, Pseudo·High Tier, these Low Tier and even Middle Tier Blood Corpse were completely insignificant.
However, there was one thing he was still very concerned about: how exactly would Adelaide be resurrected?
As players previously deduced, the Blood Corpse of the Adelaide Lineage are not as "flesh and blood" as Blood Corpse of the Antos Lineage. They are more in a state of near "semi-rottenness," and their blood has completely Solidification, making them unqualified to break the seal.
Therefore, even if these Blood Corpse are killed here, the seal on Adelaide will not be weakened.
As for the players, Ed's temporary Root Network has covered the area, aiming to recover their remains and blood as quickly as possible after they die, leaving Adelaide with not a single drop.
Given these two premises, Ed really couldn't figure out Adelaide's recovery strategy.
Does he intend to "eat" his own "son and daughter" to achieve revival by reclaiming their True Blood?
Putting aside whether this is a bit too beastly, if that's really what he thinks, then Cuiske's loyalty is a bit too high, isn't it?
You were willing to die for the Grand Duke's revival; if you were so loyal, why did you betray the Tree Worship Church?
The Psionic Energy fluctuations flashed by, Ed immediately jumped back. A wooden spike, three or four meters high, shot out from beneath his feet. It was the same technique that Cuiske had used against Xilǐ'er before. Ed hadn't Descent yet, so he was startled by this move.
That's a classic spike attack. The last time he saw an attack like that was in a Metroidvania game.
Now that we have ground spikes, wall spikes, ceiling spikes, and various other types of spikes that can be launched should all be common attack methods for Cuiske.
With this thought in mind, Ed began to subtly alter the dominant force within his body.
Previously, in order to thwart Margaret's poisonous attacks, he switched his dominant power to Psionic Energy, but while Psionic Energy is powerful in terms of bursts and agility, it is not good at agility.
Ed didn't want the cheap wooden spikes to waste his Psionic Energy reserves, so he quickly switched to his best-performing Red Dragon form.
Sure enough, the wooden spikes that seemed to have finished their attack shattered into millions of tiny spikes that flew in all directions.
Ed deftly dodged the attack of flying spikes, cleaved through dozens of Blood Corpse blocking his path with a single sword strike, and charged toward Cuiske.
Adelaide wants him to initiate the recovery process, so Ed must first stop Cuiske's actions!
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] Having just passed through the acid rain maze and luckily made it through the wooden wall into the second level, I suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
Before he could even look over, he discovered that he had gone blind.
The next moment, his soul began to leave his body and rise, entering a state awaiting resurrection.
The puzzled [ Easily Soluble in Water ] left its last glance at its own body, which it didn't know how it had died. Its front was riddled with tiny thorns, each about the thickness of a little finger, making it look like a real sieve.
"I'm testing it, there's a second level?"
Amidst the players' wails and roars, he successfully entered the resurrection process and crawled into the Resurrection Tree that was closest to the battlefield.
The [ Easily Soluble in Water ] creature that emerged from the tree hole looked ahead and immediately turned pale.
Are we going to have to start running through acid rain again?
What about 365 Li Road?
Thinking of this, feeling indignant, he immediately looked around and began to look for ways to improve his gaming experience.
He soon saw his true savior— Xilǐ'er!
That was a true knight, and one of his signature offensive techniques was javelin throwing!
Why is Xilǐ'er standing there motionless?
This problem is easily explained from the perspective of [ Easily Soluble in Water ] --
Isn't this a classic interaction trigger mechanism?
He will stay there as long as the player doesn't talk to him.
If you try to communicate with them, you might get some help or hints.
These are all clichés that have been overused in adventure games.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
The player, of course, was unaware that Xilǐ'er had already been taken over by the King of Domination. He simply felt a deep sense of peace upon seeing the silver-armored knight standing nearby.
After all, when he first entered the World of Disorder, he cooperated with the other party to take down a whole "string" of Tree Worship Church priests.
Although he had only played a minor role as bait in that joint operation, he still believed that Xilǐ'er would remember him.
" Xilǐ'er, Xilǐ'er!"
He called out loudly as he approached the location of the Twin Kings.
At that moment, " Xilǐ'er " heard someone calling the knight's name and slowly turned around. He saw [ Easily Soluble in Water ] quickly come to his side and ask the knight, whose appearance had changed drastically:
"Sir Xilǐ'er, our frontline troops have suffered heavy losses under the effects of the venom (really?), could you please briefly delay that guy's (pointing to Margaret ) attack?"
Looking at this member of the Second Holy See who seemed quite familiar with the original owner of the body, the King of Domination nodded after a brief silence, and a deep, resonant voice came from beneath his mask:
"Sure, but I need time to prepare."
"Good."
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] Nods happily:
"Anytime is fine, as long as everyone suffers minimal losses."
After saying that, he turned and left, throwing himself back into the acid rain.
Xilǐ'er looked at Tim, King of Domination looked at the Immortal King:
"I think this is a good opportunity, should we give it a try?"
