How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

It wasn't just her, Beibei reported similar things almost at the same time.

"Attack, defense improvement..."

In fact, Yili Qingqiu also made some discoveries when he was cooperating with his companions to attack monsters, and even noticed an even more puzzling situation - several of the witchcraft monsters, after being attacked, actually caused indiscriminate damage to the surroundings like the thorny lizards.

But this time, before she could realize anything, Yun Xian, who was staying in the safe area with her, guessed something.

"It's a monster similar to a little ghost!"

After being reminded by Yun Xian, Yili Qingqiu recalled that he had indeed seen transparent and illusory shadows flashing between the groups of monsters before. He subconsciously thought they were shadows of souls, but now he thought about it and realized that something was wrong.

The soul shadow is completely invisible.

And judging from the monster's increased defense and attack, it is obvious that this is something that only monsters like little ghosts will appear.

In fact, it was just as she and Yun Xian had guessed.

The Evening Bell Ghost is the third hidden monster besides the Voodoo Beast and the Thorny Lizard, and it is also the only monster that I have strengthened.

In addition to various improvements, there are also some particularly unique abilities.

The effects of these abilities have already begun to show through the actions occurring among players and the army.

Chapter 157: The Army’s True Ace

"What's going on? Why is my health dropping so fast?"

"Strange, where does the area damage come from... Damn, why is it coming again??"

The unusual movement within the team immediately attracted the attention of Yili Qingqiu, who had just thought of the existence of a small ghost monster.

Just when she wanted to ask what happened in Beibei's team, a mage not far away discovered something and said with a surprised look, "Hey, how come my attack and defense have increased so much?"

As he spoke, he chanted a spell, intending to use magic to verify whether the attack he received was real.

Yili Qingqiu suddenly realized something, "Wait!"

However, the sound was not enough to grab the other party. At the moment the spell ended and the wind blade flew out of his hand, the mage's blood volume dropped a lot as if he had been attacked. At the same time, a strong and sharp airflow swept towards the surroundings.

A large number of damage values ​​popped up one after another above the heads of the people around, immediately causing a burst of noisy noise.

"What the hell, where's the harm?"

"Damn, why am I so low on health all of a sudden? Priest, hurry up and add some blood!"

Yili Qingqiu, who witnessed all this, had already guessed the specific cause of the situation. He ignored the confused mage who didn't know what was going on, and quickly issued an order to the priest in the team, "Use mass purification quickly."

Yes, just as she guessed, the effect of the Late Bell Ghost's enhanced ability was revealed.

Of course, the main ones are three of the "lethal abilities" that are randomly selected using the pendulum of fate.

Tide of Memory: The Evening Bell Ghost copies 20% of the monster's attributes, all abilities and buffs, to the second possessed object (also applies to players, but the effect is halved)

Death Tracing: Increases the chance of the Evening Bell Ghost possessing a player. If the possessed monster dies, the ghost will definitely possess the player who killed the monster the second time.

Parasite Species: The Evening Bell Ghost will definitely possess a random monster nearby when it is born.

So take the situation of the wizard as an example. He used magic to kill the voodoo beast and the thorny lizard, and two evening bell ghosts that copied the characteristics of the two beasts possessed each other.

The wizard cast a spell that triggered the witch beast's attack to cause damage to itself. After causing damage to itself, it triggered the thorny lizard's characteristic of causing indiscriminate damage to the surroundings. This chain effect led to the situation that occurred in the Lost Paradise team before.

The "Memory Tide" ability obviously has both advantages and disadvantages, but due to the unusual characteristics of the witch beast and the thorny lizard, it turns a negative into a positive, completely transforming the disadvantage into an advantage for the monster, which is a deadly combination for players.

If it were other monsters without such characteristics, they would not be able to produce such a strange effect. However, for a pink-haired girl with rich gaming experience in her previous life, it was not difficult to associate such a routine with the words of the two sisters Yun Xian and Yun Qian, and then find the specific monster through memory.

However, this approach still has an obvious shortcoming.

“It can be purified.”

Looking at the lights of group purification that frequently lit up among the army and players in the distance, I couldn't help but think.

However, it was obvious that the tens of thousands of monsters that he had re-recruited still caused great trouble. It was not just a problem of quantity, but also a problem of the players possessed by the Late Bell Ghost, which made them dare not cast spells and attack easily after being possessed by the Late Bell Ghost.

Moreover, the BUFF after being possessed by the Evening Bell Ghost has no actual damage and control, and is even counted as a "gain" mechanism, which makes its priority far lower than all other negative states. Although it can indeed be purified, it undoubtedly requires frequent purification by priests and clergy.

At this time, even the White Tower, which had been able to purify continuously before, seemed a little powerless in the face of this situation.

"How about it, sister, now this should be considered as someone's trump card, right?"

I smiled slightly, and after the evil spirit shield beside me had finished cooling down and re-condensed, I swung the sickle in my hand and charged forward with an unstoppable momentum towards Isabella, who was standing opposite me with her head down, wondering what she was thinking and whose expression could not be seen clearly.

Although in this situation, the opponent must have remained vigilant and naturally blocked it, but when Isabella saw that the situation on the army and the players was obviously turning around, she raised her face again with a look of relief.

"What? So that's all."

Isabella put up her hand shield and slapped away my sickle, revealing her small fangs. Her delicate face made her look quite flamboyant. "I was worried for a long time, wondering what your final resort would be. If it's just this, then we won't hesitate to keep it."

"Sister Anna, let her see the real trump card!"

After Isabella's voice fell, Anna, who was not far away, nodded, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the holy book in front of her. As her fingertips rubbed across the mysterious golden words on it, a magic circle with a faint golden glow was gradually outlined on the surrounding ground.

Along with a strong fluctuation of power and the shaking of the ground, a huge white obelisk rose from the center of the magic circle, emitting bursts of soft light.

In the area covered by the light, the poisonous fog on the plague land slowly dissipated, and finally turned into a land with lush vegetation and vitality.

After it rose completely, the phantoms of the white towers that had been summoned to various corners of the battlefield seemed to have sensed something and at a certain moment established a unique connection with the phantom of the white obelisk in the center.

As the light on the tower became brighter, the surrounding soil, which was full of plague, gradually turned into a grassland full of life.

At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in the light of the obelisk and the white tower.

But obviously, the other party's role is definitely not as simple as connecting to other white towers and acting as a lighting decoration.

"Enkitusa, please show us the way!"

Anna chanted a familiar spell, and after the phantom of the obelisk behind her came into contact with this holy wave, it vibrated with a strange rhythm like an ancient bell being struck, melodious and ethereal.

The light emitted by the group purification technique, which could only cover a few hundred people, magically merged with the light of the obelisk's phantom at this moment, and completely eliminated all negative states of all the troops and players covered by the light.

Chapter 158: What do you think my trump card is?

It's not just Anna's side, the situation is similar in the locations of other white towers.

However, ordinary priests and clergy could not match Anna's ability. Only through the coordinated chanting of dozens of people could they barely trigger that strange rhythm and expand the range of the group purification spell to the area covered by the light of the White Tower.

Even so, the special effect of the white obelisk's phantom has greatly improved the efficiency of purification for priests and clergy. Simply by casting it in turns, the negative states of most of the troops and players on the battlefield shrouded in light can be completely purified.

In addition to the existing continuous purification effect, the [Infection] mechanism of the Plague Land, the negative state transfer mechanism of the Soul Shadow, the moss mechanism of the Poison Thorn Ball, the mechanism enhanced by the replication characteristics of the Late Bell Ghost, etc., they have completely failed to play their original roles.

Not only that, this white obelisk can also expand the range of other benefits and healing skills of priests and clergy. With various blessings and treatments, the army and players are simply more powerful.

The situation that had been overturned by the appearance of the witchcraft monster and the thorny lizard suddenly turned in favor of the army and the players, or it would be more appropriate to say that they were overwhelmed.

Holy Monolith: Summons a Holy Monolith to be projected to the current location. The Holy Monolith will record all auxiliary magic cast by the Holy Light profession within the range. When the same type of auxiliary skills reaches a certain strength, they will be copied and cast within the range, and the effect will be the average value of the records.

When there is a cleansing stone tablet nearby, the range will be expanded to a certain extent and the cleansing stone tablet will also gain the same effect.

Looking at the description of this magic, Beibei and Qingyu were both a little shocked.

"If a player learns this skill, it will be terrible."

"Xiao Xian, come on, it's up to you to restore the glory of the priest and the paladin." Qing Yu teased to Yun Xian and Yun Qian beside him.

Because the two sisters suddenly remembered that they had received a hidden mission with a similar description in the church in Nalton, so they showed the information to the team, which led to Qingyu's teasing.

"Hehe, but even if you praise me like this, I won't be too happy, because this is just a matter of course..."

Yun Xian looked very proud, while Yun Qian was a little shy.

Qingyun wanted to tease the shy Yunqian, but he accidentally saw the look of Yili Qingqiu next to him, and couldn't help but feel curious, "What's wrong, Qingqiu?"

"I have an ominous feeling."

"Ah, why? Now that we have these two spells, aren't we sure to win?"

"I'm not sure, but I feel like it's not that simple."

It's not just Yili Qingqiu's side, other guilds also have some meticulous senior executives.

"What is the average number of deaths on our side?" Qingwu Shuimo on Dong Ye's side asked the person next to her.

"4.1 times."

"Tell the people in our group to move a little further back."

Hallelujah, the leader of the Siren Fifth Regiment, slapped the thorny lizard in front of him and heard what Yi Chen said. He frowned but still agreed with him, "Luoyang, Achen asked you newly resurrected people not to come over for the time being. Why? Ask him."

Shadowverse's vice president Mo Jin informed his members, "Turn on all the buffs you can, and use up all the potions. Don't think about saving money at the last minute."

And so on.

Perhaps it is because people like them who have been in high positions for a long time will think more, or maybe they have experienced many battles and changes in various online games, thus developing a certain sense of crisis.

Although each guild's actions were different, what they had in common was probably the vague feeling of uneasiness that arose in their hearts.

Even Anna, after summoning the Holy Stone Monument, seemed quite uneasy.

"Sister, why are you still like this?" Peggy, who was standing next to Anna, said as she parried the leader monster's attack and stood firmly in front of Anna, "I think you are just too worried. We have been preparing for this battle for so long, and we will definitely win in the end."

"Maybe."

But what she didn't say out loud was that this premonition of worry had existed long before this action.

"I always feel as if every step is planned by someone."

Anna sighed and looked somewhere subconsciously, hoping it was just her illusion.

The direction she was looking was exactly where Isabella and I were confronting each other.

"I was really surprised that they had prepared so many countermeasures."

I looked at the magnificent stone tablet in the distance and told the truth.

After all, in his impression, this level of magic is already a war-grade weapon.

Isabella seemed a little proud when she heard this. "Hehe, actually I didn't think of using this kind of magic at first, but after hearing some suggestions from Her Highness Sophielina and Lady Claire, I felt that this kind of magic might have unexpected effects."

"Speaking of which, we must thank Her Highness for reminding us when we return, otherwise we might really fall into your endless tricks."

"...Sophie...Lina?"

"Yes, you are the candidate saint of the Church of Light of the Orwin Empire... Hmm, I just realized that your voice and your Highness's voice seem to be quite similar. Is it my illusion?"

Isabella didn't notice the strange tone of the other party at all. She did discover something, but she quickly discarded this unrealistic idea. "But I don't need to think about it to know that Her Highness Sophielina must be much cuter than a mysterious monster like you!"

Perhaps because she felt that she had completely taken control of the situation, Isabella did not want to waste any more words and pointed her knight's lance at the figure in the distance. "Humph, all your tricks are useless. This is our victory. Accept your defeat, monster!"

However, to her surprise, the other party suddenly laughed, "Haha."

The sound is ethereal and crisp, and inexplicably pleasant to the ear.

Isabella was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook off this sudden thought, "What are you laughing at?"

"Ah, no." I wiped away the tears that were welling up in my eyes. "But did someone say that was his last trump card?"

Ignoring the bewildered Isabella, I swallowed a black candy. As the only disposable item used in the previous operations to resist the army, it naturally had a special use. That was to clear all skill cooldowns at the cost of 20% of my current health.

Thus, the familiar land of evil spirits and the feast of evil spirits reappeared on the battlefield, and at the same time, the power of evil spirits once again copied the group of monsters below into new individuals.

"What's the use? We still have the advantage. Victory is just a matter of time."

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and looked at him with a bit of disdain.

"So this isn't my last trump card." I shrugged. "This is it."

The next moment, Isabella felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in her heart, because at the same time, I had already activated the most basic ability of the Evil Corpse Princess, but also the most important one for me in this plan.

Evil Spirit Frenzy: The evil spirit princess Naidor mobilizes the power of evil spirits, causing all monsters to enter a frenzy state until death. Frenzy: Attack power +20%, unable to be affected by any weak recovery effect.

Weak recovery is a special term, referring to all one-time recovery effects below 20% of the maximum health. It not only includes basic recovery, instant recovery, and non-instant recovery from blood bottles, but also includes treatment from priests. As long as it is below this value, it is considered a weak recovery.

Not only that, this description actually hides a point, that is, as long as it is a skill with a slight recovery effect, then in addition to this slight recovery, if there are other effects, they will also be exempted.

After I activated this ability, the monster below took effect naturally, and was then killed by the player. The Evening Bell Ghost copied all its abilities and states to the player, making the player also have a frenzy state.

This state cannot be removed because it is a buff effect, and its duration is naturally the same as the monster's until death.

In theory, there is no need to worry, because at this stage, the healing ability of most priests can easily exceed the value of weak recovery, but the most important thing is not the blood recovery -

"Wait, what about purification?"

"What are you doing, priest? Why aren't you purifying me?"

"I've used it before, and it doesn't purify at all!"
