Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 406 Experience Surge
Choosing the wrong opponent?

Don't joke around...

Xiao Yapuf's eyes were cold.

He had put a lot of thought into limiting Moro's ability to lock onto flying stars.

Now, his entire ability system has undergone a qualitative change, and he can also mobilize a large number of casualties from the central courtyard at any time, completely making up for the shortcomings in frontal combat lethality.

Therefore, whether it's a direct confrontation or a more conservative protracted battle, he is fully confident.

No, it's an absolute certainty of victory!

Some battles are destined to end from the very beginning.

Yapf was certain of this, and the furrowed brow quickly relaxed.

He had no interest in wasting time on conversation, and immediately manipulated the victims, whose life force was already being drained, to charge once again at Moro, who had retreated a hundred meters away.

Even if the sacrifices are the only way to deal damage to Moro in direct combat, it will not be enough.

Then, take advantage of numbers and use a blunderous human wave tactic to wear down Morrow.

This is an attack.

If Morrow attempts to shoot him during a defensive gap.

Therefore, he can easily avoid fatal injuries by relying on his existing ability system.

It doesn't even require much consumption.

This is defense.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

It’s hard to lose!

Yapf's sense of certainty about victory was evident in his aura.

Faced with the ferocious charge of his fallen comrades, Moreau slowly suppressed his last smile and refocused his attention on the battle.

"Fraudulent Flying Star"

As Moro retreated to create distance, he conjured a fluorescent green shooting star and threw it into the sky behind him.

The deceptive flying star's return mechanism can increase its power.

Although the return takes at least one second, the increase in power is necessary in most situations.

For example, when facing this group of suddenly powerful puppets, only by increasing the power can we ensure the area-of-effect damage of the skills.

A fluorescent green shooting star rose into the sky, illuminating the gloomy sky hidden by rolling dark clouds.

"Broken Bow"

As Moro flew backward, light as a feather, he flicked a star-marked coin toward the victims in front of him.

Ding.

The coin passed straight through the middle of the two victims.

Guided by the star, the deceptive shooting star in the sky plummeted down, splitting into fiery meteors in an instant, engulfing the group of fearless victims.

Faced with the falling Star-Splittering Bow, the group of victims showed no reaction, their eyes seemingly fixed solely on Moro.

This is also the most common drawback of the manipulator system.

Once the number of controls increases, control precision cannot be guaranteed, and in most cases only a simple instruction can be implanted.

At this moment, Shayapuf's control command for the victims was to destroy Morrow.

Therefore, in the victims' action logic, there was only the idea of ​​launching an attack on Moro at all costs, without any awareness of defense or responding to the attack.

Boom boom boom...

The meteor shower fell unimpeded on the victims, immediately causing a series of violent explosions.

In an instant, they overturned the dozen or so casualties who were at the forefront.

The energy ignited by the flying star was like a pair of invisible giant hands, tearing their bodies into several pieces.

But many more victims stepped over the corpses scattered on the ground, passed through the aftershocks of the explosion, and continued to rush towards Moro.

Xiao Yapuf hovered in the air, watching this scene without changing his expression.

One wave of attacks knocked down more than a dozen victims, which is equivalent to him losing more than a dozen tiny clones made up of cells in that instant.

But this was the result he wanted to see.

For him, the fiercer Moro's attacks, the more energy he would expend.

In contrast, the number of victims in the central courtyard was countless.

“You haven’t stopped for a moment, I’d like to see how long you can keep this up.”

With his arms crossed, Xiao Yapuf looked down at Moro, who was about to be surrounded by a large number of victims.

He wasn't foolish enough to attack the front with only a sacrificial squad.

Given their overwhelming numerical advantage, forming an encirclement is the most tactically valuable approach.

Moreover, Owlapf knew that Moro had been continuously unleashing his abilities, from attacking the palace alone to joining forces with other humans to attack it again.

Therefore, given Morrow's current state, if he continues to launch fierce attacks against the victims, he certainly won't be able to hold out for long.

"That old man from before was more troublesome."

As Moro continued to use his deceptive flying stars to overthrow many victims, Xiao Yapufu, while observing coldly, inexplicably thought of Netero.

At that time, he manipulated numerous victims to surround Netero...

As a result, the opponent saw through the victims' weaknesses in a single move, and with minimal expenditure of energy, simply knocked the victims away.

The result is that the victims did not contribute any value and collapsed on their own due to the exhaustion of their vitality.

Compared to that old man whose strength was unfathomable...

Seeing that Moro only kept killing the victims, Xiao Yapufu felt that the difference between the two was truly astounding.

"You're the one who picked the wrong opponent."

To avoid Morrow noticing a similar approach to the old man's, Shayapuf activated the victims' burst switches in batches using a tiered manipulation method.

This approach ensures constant pressure on Moro while also reducing energy expenditure.

With this clear battle strategy, Xiao Yapuf gradually cornered Moro.

But is this really the case?

Rumble——!
The Flying Star Splitting Bow that fell from the sky once again overturned more than a dozen victims.

To ensure that each attack was powerful enough to destroy some of the victims, Morrow was not greedy at all, always maintaining the "split number" at a level that could cause damage.

Nevertheless, the frequent use of the deceptive flying star inevitably accelerated the rate at which Moro's potential gas was consumed.

This is also the result that Xiao Yapuf would most like to see.

But Oyapuf had no idea that Morrow had seen Netero's confrontation with the victims through Pum's crystal ball.

Therefore, he certainly knew how to deal with this group of victims with explosive power, and he could also deduce some key information from Xiao Yapu's words and actions.

But if you ask him why he insisted on doing it even though he knew that killing the victims was a terrible idea...

There is no intention, such as misleading Yapf, involved.

Rather, it's due to the growth mechanism of tree rings.

It even has the potential to spread like wildfire as a backup plan.

That's right.

The sacrifices who temporarily boosted their manifested energy levels to the limit by overdrawing their life force also significantly increased the experience points that Moro could absorb. Xiao Yapufu would never have imagined that his army of sacrifices, fueled by his life force, would actually provide Moro with an opportunity to level up in battle.

Once Moro upgrades, his potential energy will be restored.

This naturally increases stamina in battle.

Even if you are accidentally injured in the encirclement, you can heal your injuries through the "Flying Star Essence" ability.

In other words, the suicide squad legion that Xyapuf acquired by sacrificing his life was essentially a dowry for Moro.

of course.

The fundamental reason why Moro was able to seize this opportunity was that he successfully broke through to Lv.90 by eliminating Yupi and many Chimera Ant Masters.

It is the support from the high volume of gas that ensures Moro's lethality and endurance during the leveling process.

"Lv.90→Lv.91"

After using the Flying Star Splitter Bow to kill more than two hundred victims, Moro's level finally advanced another step.

This step can be said to be the most difficult one Moro has taken since obtaining this upgrade ability.

If it weren't for Kyoapf raising the manifestation level of these puppets...

Moro even suspected that under the cold and ruthless experience decay mechanism, even if all the ability user puppets in the Midgard were eliminated, it was not certain that he could advance one level.

"If I followed the original strategy, even if I could kill the weakened Shayapov, I could only level up by about two levels at most, but now..."

After reaching Lv.91, Moro calmly continued to unleash the Flying Star Slash Bow to blast away the fearless victims before him.

He had already mentally prepared himself that even if he went to great lengths to kill Xiao Yapuf, he would only receive experience points of the same level.

Unexpectedly, the changes and tactical adjustments that Xiao Yapuf made to target him led to him gaining more experience in an unexpected way.

"Let's maintain the status quo for now and see if we can upgrade it two more times. It'll be a bit more troublesome with Neferpitou."

Moro's gaze swept over the endless stream of victims, and he calmly used "Blitzkrieg" to teleport out of the encirclement.

After breaking through to Lv.90, the cooldown of Blitzkrieg was reduced to 30 seconds, and the energy consumption also became relatively low.

This is also why Morrow was able to use "Blitzkrieg" so frequently in this protracted battle.

Use the Deceptive Flying Star to continuously gain experience, adjust your position with the Blitzkrieg ability, and then use upgrades to ensure your continued stamina.

If things continue this way, Moro can already see Yapf's death.

The only thing I can't see clearly...

I don't know how many levels I'll eventually reach.

Anyway, there are still thousands of ability user puppets in the central courtyard waiting for Owlapf to help "heat" them up, so let's harvest them first.

Even if the mechanism of experience decay increases further as the level increases, you can still choose to kill Shayapuf with swift and decisive means when he is downgraded to level 90 or so.

At that time, without the experience decay mechanism, the experience harvesting at the same level will guarantee a level up.

And so, Moreo was like a tireless robot, and no matter how many sacrifices Shayapuf summoned, he could not stop Moreo.

"How could he possibly hold on for so long?"

As Xiao Yapuf watched, Moro had already killed three or four hundred victims in five minutes, yet he was still able to maintain a high frequency of attrition.

This made him feel incredible.

In his view, Moro had already expended a lot of energy when he attacked the palace.

After that, they would frequently use long-range flying stars to attack the palace.

This continuous consumption behavior has persisted to this day.

How can it remain so resilient?
Just as Xiao Yapuf frowned once again, the victims, through their relentless attacks, finally achieved their goal.

After successfully encircling Moro for the first time, they used a fearless, self-destructive pounce to inflict multiple wounds on Moro's body.

Just before being overwhelmed by the numerous victims, Morrow narrowly used the power of "Blitz" to teleport to a safe location.

"Huh, huh..."

Moro was slightly out of breath, feigning relief and solemnity after surviving the ordeal.

He then looked at the large number of victims surging in like a wave and quickly gathered his spiritual energy in his palm.

"This is never going to end. I don't believe you can control so many puppets forever."

As he conjured a deceptive flying star in his palm, Moro looked up at Owl Yapf in the sky, revealing a perfectly timed look of fatigue as he uttered his harsh words.

Seeing Moro's reaction, Xiao Yapuf's furrowed brows relaxed happily again.

"30 seconds."

A contemptuous smile appeared on his handsome face as he pointed his index finger at Moro below and uttered a sensitive number.

Moro's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise that was not obvious.

But this could not escape the eyes of Yapf.

He was even happier to see this, and he really enjoyed the feeling of having everything under control.

"This is the interval between when you activated that teleportation ability. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but you used it five times with a 30-second interval. What does that mean?"

Xiao Yapuf said calmly and confidently, "That means you can only use it once every 30 seconds. That's the limitation of your ability."

"ridiculous."

Moro quickly concealed the surprise on his face.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yapuf's contempt deepened.

Human wisdom... is ultimately nothing more than this.

Unfortunately, when using a large number of clones to parasitize and control the soldier puppets, it is impossible to use the "Scale Powder Love Spring" ability at the same time.

Otherwise, he really wanted to enjoy watching Morona's panicked state after his secret was exposed, something he had tried so hard to hide.

Countless corpses were scattered on the ground.

However, the intensity of the battles has not decreased but increased.

Morrow could glimpse the contemptuous smile on Oyapuf's face, and the deeper smugness beneath.

Once it's confirmed that the other party hasn't used "Scale Powder Love Spring," a few wounds and a decent acting skill are enough to prolong the time it takes for this guy to realize something's wrong.

pretty good.

All we can say is, who is truly a manipulator-type ability user?

"The third one..."

Ignoring the psychological turmoil that Xiao Yapuf might be experiencing, Moromer counted the number of victims he had reaped after reaching Lv.91.

At the same time, he used Pence's classmate's abilities to keep an eye on Neferpitou's battle situation.

But the result was not optimistic.

Mo Laowu and his group were at a complete disadvantage, even feeling like they were standing on the edge of a cliff, and could be kicked off the cliff by Neferpitou at any moment.

"Eight against one, and you don't even have the slightest advantage...?"

Through the image that appeared in the crystal ball, Morrow saw Neferpitou easily dodge Kate's deadly attack, Death's Waltz, using his "Black Dance" ability.

Then, while still airborne, using the suddenly materialized doll as a springboard, he launched a fierce attack, striking Nakoruru squarely in the stomach...

It opened a severe wound, allowing the intestines to spill out.

If Oyapuf knew that Moro still had the capacity to keep an eye on Neferpitou's side of the battle, I wonder what he would think.
