Chapter 2048 Instantaneous Deadly Poison
"Roar--"

The ogre's tail lashed out and landed on the ground, causing the earth to shake violently. A golden ocean rose up and transformed into a torrential downpour of golden light.

Amidst the dazzling rain of gold, the ogres exuded an overwhelming presence, drawing the attention of the Kovor family.

Suddenly, the strategist Consal, who was only level 100, let out a shrill scream. In the instant when all the attention of the Kovo family was focused on the ogre, the Ripper approached silently like a ghost, and a steel nail pierced through Consal's forehead and through his brain.

The lowest-ranking member of the Kovo family, the Feathered Crest, is the most troublesome. All his abilities are focused on intelligence; he has no combat power, but instead possesses a variety of powerful support abilities.

In team battles, prioritize targeting the support characters. The same applies when dealing with groups of monsters. Most groups of monsters have extremely high levels, mainly due to their highly charismatic leaders and individual support characters.

The strategist Consal's scream caused the entire Kovo family to turn their heads. Intriguingly, only the Kovo family leader, Godfather Corrajo, let out an angry shout, while the other Feathered Raiders were much quieter.

This is very realistic. It shows that the Italian Mafia-like Feathercrown Clan only pays special attention to its own family members, while it coldly observes outsiders. The high-intelligence strategists in the Mafia organization are all outsiders. Only the godfather, as the leader, truly accepts the strategists. Most of the other family members are just doing the bare minimum.

The Ripper made a swift escape, leaving the steel needle embedded in the strategist's head. The strategist didn't die, but he was crippled.

The moment their attention shifted from the ogre, the ogre moved, parting the falling rain of gold in one step to reach a soldier named Piccoatole, his fist covered in iron-gray scales slamming down.

Although its level was as high as LV250, it was a bird monster with light and strong bones. Under the ogre's heavy punch, half of its chest collapsed, and it flew straight out and crashed into the wall, where it became unresponsive.

"Gah ah——"

The family members were severely injured, and the Kovo family finally became enraged. However, instead of using their wings and claws as weapons like ordinary bird monsters, they removed the animal skin bags from their backs.

As monsters that love to collect shiny things, they collect not only wealth, but also all kinds of magical treasures.

Just as the three were guessing what weapon the Kovo family would bring out, their eyes widened in surprise, because the Kovo family actually pulled out a black gun.

It's a Thompson submachine gun.

This is probably the downside of the invention of guns, such powerful and convenient weapons. You can use guns to bully monsters, but monsters might also pull out guns and shoot you.

The Kovo family pulled the trigger, and the Thompson submachine gun spat fire, pouring out ammunition wildly. The flashes illuminated the Kovo family's shrill crow-like head, its eyes seemingly reflecting the enemy being shredded to pieces by the storm of metal.

However, the ogres didn't even assume a defensive stance, and walked towards the Kovo family despite the hail of bullets.

Each bullet, upon impact with the ogre, was deflected by its smooth scales and shot out in all directions.

The clown in terror was even more exaggerated, wielding two long swords to cleave every bullet that came his way.

This is the biggest advantage, and also the biggest drawback, of firearms: the damage is determined by the firearm and ammunition, and has nothing to do with the user. Even skills that enhance ranged attacks cannot be enhanced by magic.

Firearms are truly pay-to-win equipment; to achieve high damage output, one needs to find rarer metals and gunpowder formulas with higher explosive power. The Kovo family was clearly unaware of this; they simply enjoyed the violent sensation of firearms continuously spitting fire, and since their usual opponents were low-level orcs like hyenas, they misjudged the power of their Thompson submachine guns.

Rather than using their claws to launch an attack, they'd rather use the firearms they could snatch.

After enduring several attacks, the ogre realized that the damage it had inflicted was not as fast as its health regeneration, so it simply abandoned all defense and charged at high speed toward the Kovo family on all fours.

The Kovo family immediately spread their wings and took to the air, using their aerial advantage to continuously unleash long-range firepower.

The ogre suddenly opened its mouth towards the flying Kovo family, its two fangs gleaming with a chilling light. The shiver made the Kovo family instinctively flap their wings to try to create distance.

But it was too late; two streams of water shot out and swept towards the Kovo family.

Two slow-reacting soldiers, Piccoatole, were hit and sliced ​​in two by the waterline before they could even scream.

That was the venom of the ouroboros, so potent that anyone who came into contact with it would be dissolved and destroyed by the venom itself before they were even killed.

Unfortunately, this move has a rather long cooldown time. Snake venom is made of protein and requires stamina to produce, while ogres require time to transform.

Fortunately, the duration of the transformation skill is related to the species of materials used. The more types of materials, the shorter the time. If only one type is used, the transformation can last up to 15 minutes.

The ogre glanced at the transformation time; there were 13 minutes left. It would take three minutes of transformation time to create one dose of Ouroboros venom, so he could use it a maximum of three more times.

Their goal is to wipe out the Kovor family and destroy this greedy region.

This is about the potential competition between [Somado] and [Rust Gospel]. Other regions are filled with extremely difficult Beast Kings and Beast Generals, while their side is just an ordinary Feathered Crown Clan gang. The others are hyenas who can't even be considered cannon fodder. If they don't achieve a great victory and clear this place, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage against [Rust Gospel]?

After calculating the amount of venom, the cannibal, the Ripper, and the clown exchanged glances and agreed on the dosage.

One set is used to clear out the remaining 5 soldiers, one set is used to take down one officer, and one set is used to instantly kill the Godfather. The remaining officer will be freed from its group monster status due to the loss of all its subordinates and leader, and its threat level will decrease significantly.

"Do it!"

Without hesitation, the ogre used up another three minutes of its transformation time to create ouroboros venom and unleashed a barrage of fire, targeting the godfather of the Kovo family.

Having just witnessed the power of this venom, the Kovo family's first reaction was not to dodge, but to build a barrier. Two soldiers, Piccoatole, stood in front of the Godfather and were directly pierced by the Ouroboros venom. They used their lives to consume the venom and gloriously sacrificed themselves for the family.

"There are three left."

Faced with the Kovor family's spirit of sacrifice, the cannibal clicked his tongue in regret; he had thought he could have killed a few more.
