How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

But this is no different from staying in the secret room before. Is there no other way to deal with the attacks of the undead...

Looking at the magic and attacks flying in front of me, I frowned.

But suddenly, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye, and a flash of inspiration came to my mind.

Chapter 15 Mass Corpse Explosion

"Kai, go ahead again."

"Okay, Your Highness." Kai and his men have never been vague about the execution of orders, or rather, it is this kind of military-style management that has formed the strict discipline of a certain underground organization.

Although that's not something to be proud of, I thought to myself.

In the brief moment when I was distracted, Kai and the others had already advanced to the corridor again.

boom.

Kai's shield hit the Undead Gladiator at the entrance of the passage, instantly knocking it back along with the Undead behind him. Bemira and Daisy rushed out from the gap and stood on both sides to share the pressure like last time.

The surrounding monsters were cleared out with the help of Bili and Satasia's magic and the assistance of others, and turned into skeletons buried in the ground.

Kai and the others couldn't help but frown when they saw the corpses in front of them. As believers in the Holy Light, they didn't want to see the remains of the heroes exposed, so they subconsciously wanted to prepare divine arts to purify these poor soldiers.

However, I stopped them and said, "Wait, don't purify yet. Shim, you cast a range-type auxiliary spell in front. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can cover the surrounding area."

Although they didn't quite understand what I was thinking, Kai and the others did as I said. Shim chanted a long spell, and the scepter representing judgment and fairness cast a brilliant light over a large area in front of him.

The holy barrier.

The team as a whole was given a defense-enhancing buff, but the undead surrounded by holy light suffered minor damage, because holy light was a deadly threat to dark creatures, and even auxiliary magic without output would cause additional damage.

However, I found that not only did Satasia and I not receive any damage, but we were also buffed like Kai and the others.

It seems that the logic of judgment at this time is based on the disguised character, but why did the demonic power of the Mihri ruins bypass the magic disguise and judge its original demon identity?

I have some doubts.

But this is not the important thing. The range covered by the divine power naturally includes those skeletons. The corpses of the undead that would have been automatically refreshed after three minutes did not disappear, but continued to pile up on the ground.

This is because of the existence of the buff effect. The monster's corpse is judged as a still existing neutral unit and lasts for the duration of the buff, up to ten minutes after the monster's death. This was an unpopular technique in the previous life.

Because it can only be selected and buffed through range magic, the slowing effect caused by your own death shadow can also extend its existence time, and this situation is rarely used.

But now is the time to use this technique.

The ground was covered with a layer of white bones. The emotionless dead souls did not care that their former companions were right under their feet. They just followed their most primitive instincts and stepped on them, then died and covered the original bones.

Stacked up layer by layer, with Shim's assistance, Kai, Bemira and Daisy's full defensive persistence, Satasia and Bili's full output, and someone's slacking off, a half-man-high bone barrier was formed.

Moreover, this height continued to rise as the surrounding undead died, acting as a wall to block many magic spells and attacks coming from afar, greatly reducing the pressure of attacks on Kai and the others.

This barrier of bones will not disappear for a while. Of course, I will not let it completely block the approach of the undead. I will let Kai and others purify some bones appropriately to maintain a delicate balance.

In this way, the corridor can be completely defended, and the surrounding undead can be continuously eliminated based on this, and there will be almost no accidents.

However, even though the output efficiency has been greatly improved compared to defending the channel, I am still not quite satisfied.

"It would have been better if I had bought that Mass Corpse Explosion spell."

Looking at the pile of bones in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh. Even if the selling price was as high as three gold coins, as long as I had that magic scroll, the hordes of undead in the Colosseum would be nothing.

I don’t know if it was the long-lost goddess of luck that lifted her skirt to show me the function of her sexy little bear panties. After hearing what I said, Satasia next to me was surprised, “How did the Demon King know that I bought this magic scroll?”

"What, you bought the mass corpse explosion?" Now it was my turn to be surprised.

Satasia took my surprise as a question and explained nervously, "I'm just curious about this magic. I didn't hide it on purpose..."

It turned out that my previous doubts were not unreasonable. As expected, Satasia secretly bought other things, resulting in the number of props not matching what I expected.

But these are obviously not important anymore. I stretched out my hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Give it to me."

After Satasia reluctantly handed me a gray magic scroll that she bought from a hidden shop, Shim, who was casting a divine spell, hesitated for a moment, put down the scepter in his hand, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, is this really a good idea?"

"What?" I turned my head and noticed the strange expressions on Kai and the others' faces, then I reacted.

It has been mentioned before that corpse explosion is considered taboo by the light camp, or it can be said that this is not only the case in the light camp, but also in the dark camp. This can be seen from the actions that Satasia concealed.

And now, he had to cast a spell that was extremely disrespectful to corpses in front of Kai and his group of paladins and priests. Although Kai and his group had sworn allegiance to him, it was inevitable that they would have some resentment in their hearts.

I sighed. "I know we should respect the dead, but they are no longer the remains of heroes. Instead, they are a group of walking corpses without their own thoughts. Their greatest wish is probably to truly die, right?"

"But we can use purification to let them rest in peace." Bili beside her whispered.

"How much can you care about in this situation? If you don't have the ability, it's hypocritical to have good intentions. If those heroes knew that their bones could save a group of people in the future, they would definitely do so."

I shook my head and looked at the surrounding undead outside. "Although it sounds a bit cold-blooded, the most important thing for us is probably to have compassion for the living."

"Or in other words, being alive is the greatest respect for life."

I don’t know what Kai and the others thought of these words, but just by looking at their expressions as they fell into deep thought and then gained some enlightenment, I knew that they were almost enlightened.

However, for some fools, this is not the case.

Satasia thought about it seriously for a long time and found the key question, "Master Demon King, are we two considered human beings?"

"..."

"..."

"Take off your disguise and get out of the team, or I'll blow you up!"

Chapter 16 Art is Explosion (Undead Only)

Although mass corpse explosion can cause huge damage when the monster corpses pile up in large quantities, it also requires certain prerequisites, the most critical of which is to create a chain explosion.

There is obviously no need to worry about the undead at close range. With the attacks of the three elite paladins Kai, Bemira and Daisy, these fragile skeletons can be smashed into slag. What's more, there is Bili. With Shim's blessing, the damage to the dark creatures is like a fixed turret.

However, monsters at farther distances cannot be reached due to insufficient attack range, so at this time one can only rely on the latter.

"Billy, what's the longest-range group spell you can cast?" I asked the person beside me.

"Radiant Judgment, maximum distance is seventy yards, radius is ten yards." Bili thought for a moment and replied, "It will take three minutes for the magic to flow back."

The short axis of the entire Colosseum is estimated to be about 170 to 180 yards. 70 yards is almost half the width of the central venue. This distance is already very good.

Moreover, I remember that although the damage of Radiant Judgment in the previous life could only be ranked at the bottom of the magic damage of the 30th level of the priesthood, but with the blessing of the elite priesthood of Bili, it should be enough to deal with these undead whose bodies are too fragile.

The magic reflow time refers to the cooling time. The three-minute cooling time is just enough to catch up with the corpse refresh time.

After a quick calculation, I made a plan. "Bi Li, use Radiant Judgment to aim at the maximum distance between three and five o'clock. Then use some area magic to deal with the undead in the middle. Try to control the range to cover the surroundings."

"Satasia, cooperate with Bili to deal with the monsters in the middle distance. The others should defend well and lower the health of the surrounding monsters."

After asking Kai and the others to guard this place and wait for my order, I aimed at the gap at the top of the corridor and flashed to the seats above the central venue.

I had observed before that there were not many monsters roaming around on the stands, but just in case, I still changed into the role of a thief and slowly sneaked to the location I had my eyes on.

The entire Colosseum can be seen from here, with patrolmen, gladiators and various undead beasts gathered in it. Because of the hatred chain mechanism, nearly half of the undead in the central arena are surrounding Kai and the others in the distance.

Even though we had killed many of them before, judging from this still turbulent sea of ​​the undead, the number killed was probably only about one-tenth. Normally, it would take at least a day to clear all the monsters in the Colosseum.

But now I have an extraordinary method.

“I wonder if the leader will be killed too.” I glanced at the right half of the field, far away from where Kai and the others were, and saw the remains of a huge griffin.

Although I know very well that this idea is not very realistic at all, and I would be satisfied if I could deal with those demonic creatures.

I withdrew my gaze from the swarm of undead below. In order to ensure that no accidents would occur, I thought it would be better to quickly get rid of the few undead wandering around, and then I started to prepare the props.

Because of the range limitation of Bili's magic, she must make up for the damage left by herself.

It is naturally impossible for him to do this with his current ability as a level 13 Little Dark Word Mage, but it is not certain if he adds the magic scroll obtained from the Mage Tower of Loblanche.

Blazing Flame Field, Thunderstorm, Glacial Sigh, Giant God Pillar...

Seven range magic scrolls were the last stock I got from the Mage Tower. Although they were precious, I didn't feel bad about it and tore them all up in one go.

The power of these magic scrolls, which could be collected by Loblanche, was self-evident. This could be clearly seen from the scene that appeared in the Colosseum below the next moment.

Brilliant flames, terrifying thunderclouds, extremely cold ice, thick boulders, and grand magic enveloped the central venue, turning the historic Mihri Colosseum into a doomsday-like horror scene.

Such a grand scene also meant a signal to Kai and others.

The holy light condensed around the magic book, as Bili's chanting ended, a dazzling light instantly bloomed in the empty space in the distance that was not covered by various range magic, as if the gods had given their verdict.

After countless undead souls came into contact with this holy light, their white bones gradually melted away, just like shadows coming into contact with the sun.

Not wanting to be outdone, Sadasia next to her raised her staff, and after a lengthy spell, a ball of scorching energy burst into bright flames forty yards away.

Flame Tornado, the strongest range skill of a level 20 Fire Mage.

When performed by Sadasia who possesses the power of the devil, it seems to have even more explosive power.

Although Shim, as a priest, mostly learned auxiliary divine arts, he also mastered some harmful divine arts. After blessing his own side, he sent down holy light not far away. Although the damage was not as great as Bili's, it was still fatal to these undead.

Kai, Bemira and Daisy were defending while using the bone barrier as a cover to clear out the monsters around them.

Although Paladins are a front-line profession, their damage cannot be ignored. As guides of holy light, Paladins will always be the strongest fighting force against dark creatures in epic.

In just a minute or two, the hordes of undead in the Colosseum suffered a heavy blow.

No matter it was an elite gladiator with thick skin and flesh, or an undead martyr with a certain immunity to magic, they were all turned into a pile of broken bones. Even if they didn't have any, their health was suppressed to an extremely fragile level.

However, for these undead, being able to survive such a bombing seemed to be a blessing, although it soon became a thing of the past.

“Art is an explosion.”

Facing the place where the undead bones were the most, I tore the scroll of mass corpse explosion in my hand. For some reason, I thought of this sentence that was very suitable for the current situation.

Although it's a bit immoral.

boom.

At first, a dozen or so bones exploded, and then spread to the corpses nearby, like triggering a domino chain mechanism.

Even if some undead with intact health survived the damage from the exploding corpses of their companions in front of them, they could not withstand the shock wave behind them. Even if they were hit twice in a row, there was still continuous explosion damage around them.

The speed of its inevitable spread was like that of a plague, but its terrifying power was more shocking than that of a plague that slowly penetrated the body. Moreover, the undead were gathered in such a crowded environment. In just one minute, this horrific explosion swept across most of the central area of ​​the Colosseum.

Countless undead were killed in the corpse explosion, and a field of red damage numbers appeared in the air, as if being in a bloody tide, telling oneself how many undead were affected.

However, compared to this, the experience prompts that slide down like water seem more intuitive.

System: Current level increased to level 14.

System: Current level increased to level 15.

System: You have entered the Orwin Empire ranking list. Do you want to register?

Chapter 17 Checking the Harvest

Two level-up prompts popped up in succession. According to the average 0.1% experience gained by a monster, even if there is a rule of sharing experience equally among a team, the number of undead that he had eliminated at this time was probably no less than two thousand.

As for the prompt that appeared later about entering the level rankings, although I didn't expect it, I was not too surprised. After all, the highest level now is just over level 15, which is enough for me to occupy a seat in the top 50.

But I didn't want to bring myself unnecessary trouble, so I chose to hide without hesitation. Of course, there are many players who think like me, so the first on the level list does not mean the real first. It may be because some leveling experts did not choose to make it public.

Not everyone likes to be exposed to the public, including some of those on the leaderboard. However, they have to do it for some reasons, such as improving the reputation of their guild or studio.

Although the chain explosion of mass corpse explosion cleared most of the central venue at once, there were still many undead left on the other side of the venue due to the distance and insufficient basic damage of mass corpse explosion.

The damage caused by the mass corpse explosion attracted their hatred and they surrounded this side.

There were still two Mass Corpse Explosion spells left that Satasia had bought. Compared to the three gold coins that the guy had paid in the auction house before, the price in the hidden store was much fairer, at 20 silver coins each.

I think that guy also noticed the business opportunity of the hidden store, but the prices were really too unscrupulous.

Even without the magic scroll found in the wizard tower of Loblanche, the remaining half of the undead were still eliminated with two group corpse explosion spells. After all, 20 silver coins are a considerable expense for ordinary players, so I don't have so many concerns.

The target in the test mission of the Glorious chapter also jumped to 27, completing about a quarter of the number in one go.

However, even though my design allowed the mass corpse explosion to affect many undead, there were always some factors and positions that were not taken into consideration, and inevitably a lot of monsters were missed, including the remains of the leader-level griffin.

Inferior Undead Griffin [Boss Level]: Level 25, HP 13579/18000.

Although he was not killed by the damage from the three mass corpse explosions, he lost nearly a quarter of his health because of the many undead surrounding him.

After handing this leader over to Kai and the others to deal with, I jumped down from my seat and prepared for a very important task.

Pick up equipment.

Although the drop rate of the undead is not high, it is still very terrifying due to the bonus of quantity, and it also includes a lot of demonic creatures and elite undead.
