Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 10 Even Lords Must Die

"Ok?"

Lin Hanchuan realized something was wrong, his brows furrowed, and he quickly moved to adjust his line of sight, checking the spot where the brutal demon had been lying dead.

The body is gone!?

"It hasn't been long yet; the body hasn't reached the point where it will dissipate on its own."

"Then there's only one possibility left..."

In Lin Hanchuan's view, a gradually dazzling white light was emanating from the dimly lit warehouse.

It is the light of evolution!
The monsters in [Descent] are not fixed in level and rank. They can evolve and become stronger through certain opportunities and conditions.

Among demons, some races can evolve directly by devouring other creatures when they reach the critical point of evolution.

The cannibal who had previously disguised himself as the old man with the black beard was already at the peak of the elite level. The reason he was able to uncontrollably reveal his true nature and launch an attack after just a few words from me was that he was completely overwhelmed.

Part of the reason is that it is already a peak elite-level monster. As long as it eats this human, it can take that final step and enter the lord level.

Faced with this leap in racial status, he was anxious, so anxious that he could no longer control his behavior.

The light of evolution emanating from the warehouse at this moment was undoubtedly released by the Dark Claw Demon, who had devoured the corpse of the Tyrannical Demon and was currently in the process of evolution.

"Interesting!" Lin Hanchuan thought for a moment and then understood some of the issues. It was likely that this elite-level peak Dark Claw Demon had been plotting against the Tyrannical Demon from the very beginning.

Eat it, and you'll evolve into a Lord-level being!

The monsters in the process of evolving are at their most vulnerable in terms of defense, but Lin Hanchuan did not rush into the warehouse to take advantage of the monsters' vulnerability.

On the one hand, there might be traps or formations in the warehouse; rushing in might lead to being caught in one's own trap.

On the other hand, the experience reward for taking the first kill of a Lord-level Dark Claw Demon is far greater than that of an Ogre and a Tyrannical Demon combined.

Snap! !
Pat pat!
Although he didn't go inside, Lin Hanchuan's hands never stopped moving, continuously throwing water balloons into the warehouse.

The warehouse was now flooded with several centimeters of water. After throwing away a few more, Lin Hanchuan stopped. "That should be enough!"

Flooding the warehouse is a good idea.

In this enclosed environment, the Dark Claw Demon can be easily forced out, but only if you have a corresponding water-type ultimate move, at least a D-level or higher water-type move, to release the amount of water that floods the warehouse at once.

The small water ball that Lin Hanchuan threw out at this moment could theoretically be used, although it was not as exaggerated as grinding an iron rod into a needle, it would still take a long time to accumulate that much water.

There's really no need to go to such extremes.

You have to use your brain when you fight.

"I thought you'd keep using your little water ball spells to fill this warehouse!" The light of evolution in the warehouse gradually faded, and with a series of splashing sounds, a slender dark claw demon with deep purple eyes emerged from a hidden corner. She looked up at Lin Hanchuan, her ten fingernails intertwined and rubbing against each other, making a "sharp" sound like sharpening knives.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to cast the small water ball spell for so long. If it were any other mage, they would probably have run out of mana by now."

"It seems you have quite a bit of talent. If I eat you, I should be able to advance to a higher rank!"

Dark Claw Demon

Level: 5

Rank: Lord
Blood volume: 2300
Attack: 150~400
Note: The Dark Claw Demon likes to use its hands to tear apart its opponent's chest and eat its internal organs. In dark environments, all of its attributes are increased by 20%!

The information provided by the system made Lin Hanchuan's expression much more relaxed.

The Dark Claw Demon in front of us has only been upgraded in rank; its level is still 5!
Lord-level monsters of the same type possess similar skills, but the skill levels are affected by the monster's own level.

The higher the level, the higher the skill level.

A level 5 Lord-level Dark Claw Demon should have mastered the skill "Crack Claw," which allows it to damage a target from a distance when the target is still two or three meters away. This skill is a spatial ability.

However, this is only the effect of the E-rank [Crack Claw] skill. When he reaches level 10 and the [Crack Claw] level is upgraded to D-rank, the skill effect will change. He will have the ability to directly tear through space, and he will be able to hit targets ten meters away. At the same time, he can also escape through the torn space.

If it were level 10, it wouldn't be so easy for Lin Hanchuan to kill it.

"You're quite confident, but your education level is a bit low!" Lin Hanchuan laughed as he looked at the Dark Claw Demon standing in the puddle.

Then he raised his hand and released a small fireball.

"You think you can kill me with such a low-level skill? You're really dreaming!" The Dark Claw Demon sneered as it watched the small fireballs flying from Lin Hanchuan's hand one after another, and at the same time, it began its own operation.

Her intertwined hands separated, and her fingernails, like ten long swords, hung down to her calves.

The Dark Claw Demon dragged them toward Lin Hanchuan. He wasn't afraid of these small fireballs at all. After advancing to the Lord rank, not only did his health increase significantly, but his defense also increased exponentially.

The small fireball released by the human mage in front of him would not cause him any harm at all.

On the contrary, seeing him standing still and earnestly releasing small fireballs, the Dark Claw Demon couldn't help but want to laugh.

Very talented, but too dull!

If, during his evolution, he had seized the opportunity, turned and ran, and had been lucky enough to avoid the traps in the corridor, he might have had a tiny chance of survival. But now…

There's absolutely no chance left!
However, the Dark Claw Demon was in no hurry. Since entering the starting village and playing as a villager, he hadn't killed anyone in a long time. This time, he wanted to experience that long-lost feeling on this human.

She wants to enjoy herself.

boom! !

A small fireball flew by.

Instead of landing on the Dark Claw Demon, the small, scorching fireball struck the water at her feet, creating a cloud of steam as tall as a person the moment it touched the surface.

Bang bang bang! !

As more and more small fireballs fell, and all of them crashed into the water, the mist rising around the Dark Claw Demon made it feel as if it were in a thick fog, unable to see its knees when it looked down.

Moreover, under the fireballs that Lin Hanchuan kept releasing, this fog began to grow thicker and thicker, spreading throughout the entire warehouse.

When the fog inside the warehouse was so thick that nothing could be seen, it was pitch black, and you could even hear the sound of water droplets falling.

Lin Hanchuan immediately switched to a small water balloon.

The small water ball was aimed at the location of the Dark Claw Demon, who was too confident and hadn't moved an inch yet.

This created great convenience for Lin Hanchuan.

Snapped! !

—11!

The first small water ball hit easily, taking away 11 points of his health, followed by the second, third, fourth, and fifth...
Although the slowing effect brought about by the small water ball was a probabilistic event, under Lin Hanchuan's extremely fast attack speed, this probabilistic event gradually became inevitable.

When the Dark Claw Demon has three stacks of the Slow effect, it will be frozen.

Some people have tested that when a target is frozen, the water elements in the surrounding air will instantly condense together to form ice elements, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

When a target is subjected to a persistent freezing effect, and the environment is an enclosed space, the temperature of the entire environment will enter an extremely cold state, and the water element in the air will begin to transform into ice element.

The released water-based skills will also enter the scene, and the water element in the skill will directly turn into ice element the moment it touches the target, with a near 100% freezing effect.

These are all theoretical deductions, and many factors influence them, such as the size of the enclosed environment, the release speed of the small water ball, the target's own ability to remove negative effects, and the target's strength level, etc.

Back in the first region, many top mage players thought it would be difficult to achieve because the conditions were too demanding.

Lin Hanchuan had tried many times, but only succeeded once. And all the conditions for that success seemed very similar to those for this time.

The warehouse interior is very small.

The water balloons are released at a speed of more than two per second.

The target level is only 5, and it does not have the ability to remove slow or freeze effects, etc.

Lin Hanchuan's rich combat experience allowed him to make plans the moment the Dark Claw Demon fled into the warehouse.

First, fill the warehouse with enough water.

Then use a small fireball to make the water evaporate into an extremely dense mist.

Release more small water spheres inside. Although the Dark Claw Demon, which is shrouded in dense fog, cannot be seen, the damage displayed by the system indicates that the small water spheres have accurately landed on it.

Unexpectedly, the Dark Claw Demon cooperated so well, neither dodging to other parts of the warehouse after being hit by the water ball, nor escaping the warehouse immediately.

The time, place and people are favorable.

Everything is ready, and the east wind is blowing strong.

The result is exactly what Lin Hanchuan sees at this moment.

The water vapor inside the warehouse had condensed into ice crystals, like needles suspended in mid-air. In this environment, the Lord-level Dark Claw Demon had become an ice sculpture. Just as the frozen state on his body showed signs of thawing, a small water ball was thrown at him, freezing him again.

Bang bang bang! !

—15!

—16!

—19!

When the small water ball lands on him, it instantly turns into ice spikes, piercing the Dark Claw Demon's body with one ice hole after another.

Just like the previous tyrannical demon, the Dark Claw Demon remained motionless, its eyes wide with disbelief as it stared at Lin Hanchuan.

I'm already a lord!

how so? !
