How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Take the previous situation as an example, the two copies of Rose Heart were difficult.

In fact, I first open the mechanism of the alley on the left side, allowing the Sand and Stone Holy Armor Beast on Dolan's side to reveal its crystal. Destroying the crystal will make it lose its defense bonus, so that it can be eliminated and drop the crystal. The crystal can then be embedded in the stone pillar mechanism on the opponent's side, which will open the barrier on my side.

After listening to my explanation, everyone finally understood, but Red Rose was still a little confused.

"Logically speaking, we have tried so many times before, why have we never discovered this?"

"Because only when the two copies are opened within 5 minutes of each other, the mechanisms inside will be chained together." I explained that this is also a unique mechanism of collaborative copies.

"So that's how it is. This is really a strange mechanism."

When everyone thought about it carefully, they did not consider this point when they opened the copy before, or perhaps there was such a coincidence, but because they arrived at the mechanism at different times, some accidents happened in the middle, which led to no attention.

After all, they had never had the idea of ​​two copies needing to cooperate with each other to advance this idea in the first place.

But now that we know the characteristics of the two copies, things have become much simpler.

After completing the previous part, both sides received the "Oracle", but the content was different. Dolan and the others had to go to different locations to collect runes, while we needed to go to different mage towers to light up the core.

Apart from the monsters and bosses encountered on the road, there were naturally levels that required mutual cooperation like before. Under my reasonable instructions and arrangements, Dolan and the others collected all the runes in less than an hour.

On his side, he also lit up the last mage tower in the center of the city.

Looking at the area in the central square ahead, the movement and sound that emerged after the wizard tower was lit up, and the huge body that could be seen from a distance. Red Rose, who received the same answer from Dolan, already had an idea in her mind.

"So the next step is the final boss battle, right?"

"Ah."

"In that case, why don't we go over there first? Is there some mechanism here that can weaken the boss's strength?"

Red Rose looked at me wandering inside the Mage Tower while contacting the other side on the communication channel, and couldn't help but ask.

"That's not the case. But if we're going to enter the boss battle like this, then why would I go to the trouble of calling Sister Qingying and the others over?"

"us?"

Meng Qingying heard this and pointed at herself curiously.

"Yeah." I nodded, and after hearing the reply from the channel, I smiled slightly, "Of course, it's because there are some special 'rewards' that I haven't taken yet."

As my voice fell, there was a violent vibration from inside the Mage Tower, and then a blue beam of light fell from the dome of the tower. In the beam of light, an ancient book slowly fell down.

"Ameng, Xiaoshi, Yueya, go over and take a look."

After being stunned for a moment, Red Rose came to her senses and spoke to Meng Qingying and the others, who were the three most talented and potential earth mages in the Rose Heart.

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingying and the other two walked over without hesitation, and at my signal, they placed their palms on the books one by one.

After receiving the system prompt, the expressions on their faces showed some surprise.

"Did you get anything?" Red Rose asked curiously.

"Three palace-level intermediate magics, and I also received a mission to inherit magic."

Meng Qingying glanced at the magic at the top of her skill list and the tasks in the task bar, then turned around and thanked me sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Xiaotong."

The other two traditional girls also reacted and thanked me.

"No need. You will dig out the things in this copy sooner or later anyway." I stuck out my tongue.

"But no matter what, this kind of favor is still a favor."

After hearing what Meng Qingying said, Red Rose was also a little surprised. After all, the importance of palace-level magic and inheritance was self-evident. She showed a distressed look, "I owe more and more favors. What should I do? How about letting my mother love me well as repayment?"

What kind of repayment is this? This is just asking for more.

Fortunately, I had already hidden behind Sister Shuiyan. Facing Shuiyan's vigilant look, even Red Rose would have found it difficult to take action. Her sullen look made Meng Qingying and the others beside her laugh softly.

After learning about the palace-level magic and inheritance from us, the people on Dolan's side also became a little envious.

The only pity is that there is only this one "reward" place in the two copies, but considering the rarity of the two, Red Rose and others are already very content.

After cleaning up, both sides headed towards the BOSS battle area.

Just as we got a short distance away, the huge monster on the central square, which was as big as more than a dozen buildings, appeared in front of us. At the same time, there were eight large sandstone pillars of different colors around the square.

Disaster Twins. Aqiya [Boss]: Level 85, HP: 700000/700000

This is the monster before us.

Anuna, the Twins of Disaster [Boss]: Level 85, HP: 700000/700000

The name and appearance of the monster Dolan saw were also very similar, or it could be said that the venue was completely replicated. Except for the previous experience, these were now two identical copies.

"This monster..." Seeing the name above the monster's head, Red Rose seemed to remember something. Or it was not just her, but Meng Qingying and Shuiyan next to her, as well as Duolan and others on the other side who saw a similar name, also had some impression.

I smiled and explained, "In Ceylon mythology, the gods sent down disaster beasts to punish the cruel and tyrannical monarch Thutmose III. They assisted the warrior Fland, who later became Seti I, in overthrowing the corrupt dynasty and became the guardian beasts of the royal family. If you have collected information about the ancient country of Ceylon, you should have an impression of them."

Hearing this, Yuanye Eleven was immediately reminded, "Yes, yes, that's it! Nana and I looked up a lot of information in the library, and we showed it to you, the president, right?"

Red Rose and the others then remembered where they had seen this name.

Perhaps she wanted to show off her own contribution, Yuanye Shiyi's tone seemed very proud. But before she could be proud for long, my voice sounded again in the channel.

"That's a bit of a shame. If you look more carefully, you might be able to see the mechanisms of these two dungeons through the fact that the two districts of Marina Ancient City are designed based on the Twins of Disaster."

As soon as the words fell, the elite group on Dolan's side glanced with inexplicable eyes at Yuanye Eleven, who had already stopped and swam away from their sight.

“I didn’t expect that I could see so many things.”

Red Rose didn't mind it much. After all, it was no big deal to miss out on so much information at once, and no matter what, the other party was already trying very hard to help.

But Shuiyan, Muqing and other warriors beside them suddenly thought of something, "...Three Pillar Gods?"

"There are also the Three Pillars of Thebes in Ceylon mythology." Meng Qingying was reminded and looked at me, "Could it be?"

I nodded, confirming her guess. "Well, in the second phase of the Marina Ancient City, the final bosses of three city districts are the Three Pillars of Thebes, and they are a three-coordinated mechanism."

Everyone couldn't help but think after hearing this. Now it was a bit troublesome to deal with just two copies in coordination. If it was three copies in a row, the situation would undoubtedly be more complicated.

But before they could react, someone kindly added, "Oh, by the way, in the final third stage, we will face the eight resurrected pharaohs of ancient Ceylon."

...Gan.

Everyone's hearts were filled with excitement, and they felt that the road ahead was long and arduous.

Chapter 68: The Twins of Disaster (I)

"It looks like it will be a long, hard day ahead."

Red Rose and Meng Qingying couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, I stuck out my tongue, as if I realized that my "blow" seemed a bit serious, and I also comforted them, "Don't worry too much, you will need to coordinate eight copies at the same time later, but the content of the copies will be a little reduced. As long as you are patient and spend some time, you can pass it."

Everyone simply gathered their thoughts, and Meng Qingying asked me, "Well, don't think too much about what's going to happen next. Sister Xiaotong, tell us how to deal with these two bosses first."

I nodded and motioned to Red Rose and the others, as well as Dolan and the others on the other side, to look at the sandstone pillars surrounding the square.

"In Ceylon mythology, the Twins of Disaster possess various elemental forms. These eight sandstone pillars symbolize the elemental powers they possess, namely fire, ice, lightning, storm, light, darkness, earth, and nature. You can see that these sandstone pillars are placed relatively and evenly around the boss."

"The correspondence between the sandstone pillars can be seen from their placement, such as lightning corresponding to storms, the earth corresponding to nature, and so on."

"The mechanism of the Disaster Twins is the same. They start out in normal form, and then they transform into different elemental forms based on the damage we inflict on these sandstone pillars. Their attacks come with additional negative effects. For example, if they transform into lightning form, their attacks will cause stiffness."

"After the Disaster Twins transform into elemental forms, their attacks are very high. Even Sister Shuiyan's tankiness can't withstand a few hits. At the same time, their defense will also be greatly improved, and they must use attacks with corresponding attributes, otherwise they can't break through their defense. Just like the previous lightning form, they can only use attacks with wind attributes to cause damage."

After hearing what I said, everyone couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The red rose frowned slightly, and with that intellectual and elegant face, she looked very charming. "According to what you said, Xiaotong, it seems that what we have is not enough."

Although there are various types of mages in the elite group, there are only two or three of them with one attribute. It is impossible to reduce the health of the BOSS by relying on these two or three people.

So Red Rose guessed that there must be a special method.

And the fact was just as she thought.

I smiled slightly. "That's not the case. As long as we use these sandstone pillars, the Disaster Twins won't be that difficult to deal with."

Sandstone pillars can not only provide elemental power to the twins of disaster, but also provide great help to players. These sandstone pillars will automatically release a barrier when players approach. Players in the barrier will also gain the power provided by the sandstone pillars, and their attacks will cause elemental damage while also reducing elemental damage.

For example, after the Disaster Twins transform into lightning form, the damage caused by its attacks to players near the lightning sandstone pillars will be greatly reduced, and the accompanying negative effects will also be weakened.

In other words, if the Disaster Twins are in lightning form, they can be easily dealt with by letting the front-line professions attract hatred to the vicinity of the lightning sandstone pillars and the output professions to the vicinity of the storm sandstone pillars.

Eight elemental powers. When the health of the Disaster Twins is at 90%, they will transform into corresponding forms according to the type of sandstone pillars that the player attacks to a certain extent. Then, they will transform again every time their health decreases by 10%.

"But be careful not to attack the sandstone pillars at random. You can see these sandstone pillars around the square. If they are far apart, they will be severely damaged during the movement. So every time you switch forms, it is best to attack the sandstone pillars next to the front row professions."

"And most importantly, this is also part of a collaborative dungeon. The sandstone pillars you attacked are actually the basis for the BOSS in the adjacent dungeon to switch forms. Other skills also have similar mechanisms, so the two sides must communicate with each other."

After hearing such a detailed strategy from me, Red Rose and the others already had a rough idea in their minds, and after discussing it in the channel for a while, they made arrangements.

As for me, I came to a hidden corner of the square and did not intend to participate in the battle. Of course, this does not mean that I can sit back and relax, but mainly to avoid distraction.

Although the main command during the battle fell into the hands of Red Rose, Meng Qingying, Dolan and Red Coral on the other side, I still had to pay attention to the situation and take over the command at the critical moment to avoid any unexpected situations on both sides.

After asking Sister Dolan to set up a camera in a place with a wide field of vision and transmit the images to me, I saw that the elite groups on both sides were about to attack the monsters. I thought about it and reminded them out loud.

"It's best to lure the normal form of the BOSS to the corresponding sandstone pillar first, and give priority to the light form or ice, storm, and nature. These four forms have higher defense and weaker attacks, so you sisters can get used to the rhythm first."

Red Rose and the others responded and slightly changed the arrangements as I said.

Soon, the elite shield warriors in the 14th Regiment, including Shisha, were ready. At the command of Red Rose, they charged towards the twin disasters, Aqiya, in the distance.

-35, -31, -37……

A series of damage appeared above Aqiya's head. Because it was in normal form, it did not receive any bonus. If it was in elemental form, relying on the weak attack growth of shield warriors, it would be the limit for it to inflict damage barely exceeding double digits.

But even so, it successfully attracted the BOSS's attention.

Faced with these tiny bugs that dared to provoke him, Achia was naturally extremely angry. White mist was spraying from the tip of his nose, and his strong forelimbs were raised high, intending to crush these creatures under his feet.

Defensive posture, divine protection, cover instinct...

Shuiyan, who possessed extremely high defense, leaped out and held the dark gold tower shield horizontally in front of her. With the help of various blessings and skills, she managed to withstand the attack, but at the same time her health dropped by half in an instant.

Fortunately, several white lights flashed, and the paladin next to him used healing magic to raise his health back to full.

Without the attack bonus of the elemental state, it was obviously impossible for Aqia at the moment to destroy the fourth-strongest shield wall in the empire. He was blocked by Shuiyan and the front row around him, including Mu Qing, Zhiyuan, etc., and attracted to the vicinity of the light sandstone pillar.

"Start attacking."

Meng Qingying had already arrived at the dark sandstone pillar with a group of output professions including mages, archers and warlocks, and began to chant magic spells.

The surrounding elements became agitated as dozens of mages and warlocks cast spells.

The arrows of the archers are equally restless. The scene of nearly twenty archers attacking together is quite shocking even if it is just a simple ordinary attack. What's more, it is mixed with skills such as multiple arrows, explosive arrows, etc. It looks like a rain of arrows from a distance.

Seeing this, the mage was not willing to be outdone, and threw the chanted magic at the BOSS in the distance. Fireballs, hail, thunderstorms, and the archer's attack created a doomsday scene in the sky.

Boom boom boom.

As magic and arrows hit the phosphorus armor and rubbed against it, sparks appeared. As Achia roared repeatedly, a large number of damage numbers rose above his head. They were much higher than the damage caused by the previous shield battle, and most of them were around eighty or ninety.

You can even see a few shadows that are over 150 meters long.

These were naturally caused by the first-level players in the elite groups. Among the four strongest elite groups of Rose Heart, which had a total of more than 200 people, in addition to all the priests who had completed the job transfer task, there were also fifty or sixty people who had completed the first level.

Even among the big guilds in the empire, this ratio ranks among the top, probably only lower than Stormwind, Imperial Epic and Eternal Spire.

Chapter 69: The Twins of Disaster (Part 2)

While the twins of disaster, Achia, were suffering from fierce attacks, the twins of disaster, Anuna, on the other side, led by Dolan and Hongshanhu, were not in a much better situation. They were also roaring under the attacks of magic and arrows.

Although the strength of the four elite groups of Rose Heart varies, the difference is not too big.

Moreover, the division at the beginning was based on the strength of the first and fourth elite groups, which were the strongest and weakest, and the second and third elite groups in the middle cooperated to further narrow the gap in strength.

Coupled with the deliberate control of the commanders on both sides, the speed at which the blood volume of the Disaster Twins decreases remains roughly the same, with only ups and downs.

Therefore, under the output attack of the back-row professions, in more than ten minutes, the twin disasters Aqia and Anunna fell to the 90% mark almost synchronously.

Chirp——

The twins of disaster on both sides roared in anger at the same time and stomped hard on the ground. Along with the roar, the eight sandstone pillars around them emitted dazzling light, which turned into a light chain connecting the bodies of the twins of disaster.

"Now, attack the sandstone pillars."

Seeing this, I immediately reminded them in the channel.

In other words, even without my reminder, the elite group of Rose Heart were able to react to what they should do after seeing this scene. Meng Qingying and Hong Shanhu, who were responsible for leading the back row output professions, immediately ordered the surrounding members to attack the target sandstone pillars.

Of course, it was not an aimless attack. Meng Qingying was aiming at the natural sand and gravel pillars next door where Dolan and the others were, while Hong Shanhu was aiming at the bright sand and gravel pillars in the front row such as Shiyan.
