How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

As for the fourth one, which is the one you see now, it is a boss-level monster born from a higher-quality soul, and its attributes far exceed those of the other three.

Although there may be some unexpected chances involved, it undoubtedly reminded me of my previous idea of ​​collecting high-quality monster souls.

And now, it's time to verify again.

As the advancement ceremony started, a clicking sound was heard, and a mysterious force moved the sculpture of the dark bat leader to the central magic circle of the dark church.

The intricate patterns in it had already been lit up, and the dark bat souls that served as the material were sucked into the magic circle with a hiss as if swept by a storm. They were followed by hundreds of black crystals born from the dark elements, and finally the glowing stardust fragments.

The moment it merged into the magic circle, a strong light burst out.

"It's like drawing ten cards in a row." I couldn't help but complain, if those materials could be compared to virtual currency.

But in reality, this is just a single draw.

And the cards were determined at the very beginning.

The light faded, and a magnificent sculpture appeared in the center of the magic circle.

Its appearance is almost the same as the dark bat, but it is much larger.

The original smooth outline has been lost, and the sharp lines like a knife make the overall look very impactful, just like a real hunter in the dark night, which makes people feel uneasy.

After the fingertips touched it, the outer shell of the sculpture shattered instantly, accompanied by a sharp howl, and a pair of scarlet eyes instantly opened, as hideous as a monster from the abyss.

At the same time, I also saw the other party's attributes clearly.

【Dark Bat King】

[Boss], Level 15

HP: 6000/6000

Attack: 196

Defense: 167

Talent: Low-level vampire [Basic flying ability; a portion of the damage caused is used to restore the body's health; Holy damage received is increased]

Twilight [Increases ability based on the number of surrounding enemies]

Skill: Bat Shadow [Summon bat phantoms to attack the surroundings. The number of bat shadows varies according to the number of surrounding players. Cooldown time is 1 minute]

Dark Shadow [Transforms into a shadow at an extremely fast speed and attacks 10 enemies in turn, reducing damage by 50% during the attack. Can be used 3 times in a row, with a cooldown of 10 minutes]

Twilight Territory [Creates a black curtain, weakening enemies in a small area, reducing the field of vision of enemies in a large area, and increasing the attack speed and defense in the black curtain. Lasts for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 20 minutes]

Dark Resurrection [Transforms into hundreds of dark bats to attack surrounding enemies, reducing the damage received by dark bats by 50% and increasing attack power by 30%. It ends when all dark bats die. It is automatically triggered when 20% of health is reached. It can only be triggered once.]

Blood Sacrifice [Causes devastating damage to enemies in a large area. After use, the player will fall into a permanent weakened state, with all attributes reduced by 1000%. It will be automatically triggered at 5% health, and can only be triggered once.]

Balanced attack and defense combined with the ability to suck blood can ensure long-term survival, and the talent that improves attributes according to the number of enemies further enhances the overall combat capability.

Not only that, the skillset is also an extremely strong combination.

Bat Shadow is a range attack method, Dark Shadow can advance to the back row, Twilight Territory increases its offensive and defensive capabilities, Bat Resurrection provides secondary protection, and Blood Sacrifice is the final big move that can cause a devastating blow to the players.

Although there are still some shortcomings, in my opinion it is already a perfect all-round BOSS.

So, in a good mood, I reached out and touched the other person's head.

"Be good, be good."

The Dark Bat King folded his wings, lowered his head and rubbed my palm.

It is hard to imagine that the big guy who was so ferocious in the last second is now nestling under my hands as obediently as a cat. The difference before and after is simply shocking.

I thought about it and called the other three dark bat leaders over. The comparison between the two was immediately obvious, not only in appearance, but also in terms of momentum the former was far superior to the latter. The three dark bat leaders followed timidly beside the Dark Bat King, completely reduced to the role of younger brothers.

"So what should I do next... teleport directly to the forest ruins?" I propped my chin up and muttered to myself, "It seems too easy."

Although the overall attributes of the Dark Bat King are perfect, it is ultimately only a leader-level monster. Even with the addition of two dark bat bosses, it can at best not withstand the siege of the players on the forest ruins.

Even if the Dark Bat Leader can fight against seventy or eighty people, the Dark Bat King can handle eight times more. The four together can fight against more than eight hundred players at most.

It seems like a lot, but actually the energy that can be earned is calculated based on the number of deaths and injuries. Unless these more than 800 people can be completely eliminated, the energy earned can be said to be very generous.

However, this situation is simply impossible. As long as one-tenth of the more than 800 people are healing professions, excessive casualties can be avoided, and the BOSS can be slowly eliminated.

Even if the monsters advanced from the Dark Church will be resurrected after death, that also requires resurrection time and specific buildings.

The resurrection time of the boss level is seven days, which is not mentioned for now. The specific building - the cemetery can only be built after the Heart of Herontis is upgraded to level two.

"...headache." I couldn't help but hold my forehead.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I had placed too much hope on the advancement of the leader of the Dark Church at the beginning. After preparing for so long, I got such a result. Although it is already very good, I am still somewhat disappointed.

I was originally expecting to gain a lot of energy and take this opportunity to upgrade the Heart of Herontis to level 2.

"It would be great if I could control how you act. At least it would make those players suffer more." He reached out and touched the head of the Dark Bat King, then sighed.

But the next second I was stunned.

"…Wait, control?"

I seemed to have thought of something and quickly opened my property panel to confirm that I had not remembered any key information incorrectly.

And it was obvious that my memory did not lie——

Demon King Power:

[Advent] Possess a monster from the Demon King's camp, increase its level and change its appearance based on the monster's attributes.

……

I am a primary school student and I have a New Year's Day holiday tomorrow (fog)

Chapter 42 The Dark Bat King Arrives

A new day had just begun, and some players in Soma Town discovered that the forest ruins had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The area has expanded several times, the number of monsters has increased dramatically, and the familiar dark bats have also been upgraded in level.

Not only that, they also discovered that there were several unfamiliar faces in the forest ruins, which brightened the eyes of the players who had been immersed in the monotonous attack rhythm of the dark bats for many days.

This change was only spread by word of mouth among those who were curious. Many people who had originally given up on this leveling area after reaching a high level also came back out of curiosity to find out what was going on.

Then, after they discovered that the experience and equipment drop rates of these monsters were generally better than other similar leveling areas, they could not escape the law of "it's so good" and decisively chose to stay.

The forest ruins, which had been gradually eliminated because the monster levels could not catch up with the mainstream echelon, suddenly became popular among the player community, and the popularity even seemed to be hotter than before.

Even after they challenged the monsters in the forest ruins and found that the difficulty had increased a lot, not many people were scared off. Instead, they continued to fight with a sense of novelty and might only complain occasionally at most.

Of course, no matter what, they would not dare to step into the depths of the forest ruins, the level 10-15 leveling area, to challenge the so-called dark totem poles and dark martyrs.

"After all the twists and turns, I finally came back~"

A cute-looking ice mage cast his newly learned frost spell on a monster not far away, and also did not forget to add his own complaints.

"Don't talk, or I'll lure the monsters to you."

Easily dodging the attack in front of him that was slowed down by the frost effect, the thief angrily stabbed the dagger in his hand into the bat's soft fur.

"I don't believe that Ah Ye would not do such a cruel thing."

"coming."

"Hey, hey, hey, wait, you are not kidding!" Facing the oncoming black shadow, the Ice Mage quickly used the Resistance Aura and barely escaped the disaster.

The other dark bat that was pushed away by the halo wanted to attack again, but the last of its blood was taken away by the dagger that suddenly appeared behind it.

As it fell, a gray soul appeared on its body and then disappeared, which was a sign of the little ghost's death.

The thief picked up the fallen equipment and glanced at the angry round face next to him. He stopped the other person's complaints with one sentence, "It's just to exercise your reaction ability occasionally, so that you won't die suddenly inexplicably in the future."

The two people were Yeyuan and Mushui. Originally, after reaching level five, they planned to go to a higher level training area and wait to meet up with their friends in a few days. However, before they found a suitable place, they heard the news from the forest ruins, so they ended up coming back in circles.

Nightwish was a little resistant at first. After all, she had said before, "There are dark bats all day long. I swear I will never come here again after I reach level five."

Then, after seeing the leveling efficiency of the Forest Ruins, it naturally turned into a "I wanted to refuse, but they offered too much.jpg" situation.

This is also the reason why Mu Shui teased Yeyuan at the beginning.

"At this rate, it won't be long before we can reach level 6."

After picking up the fallen materials and equipment, Yeyuan took a look at his experience bar.

It would have been faster if they could have lured a few more monsters at once, but the situation now was different from before. It was already difficult for the two of them to deal with three dark bats and a little ghost. Even if they added one more dark bat, there was a high chance of danger.

However, although the difficulty has increased, the experience gained from these monsters is also much more than before. At least the two of them are still very satisfied with the current leveling efficiency, so they also rejected many players who came to ask if they wanted to form a team. Yeyuan felt that they were simply attracted by their beauty.

"Aye, do you think it's possible that we can reach level 6 before Sister Youyou and the others?" Mu Shui, who was waiting for his skill to cool down, imagined the possible scene and couldn't help but chuckled. "If that's the case, they will probably be shocked."

"You don't have to worry about this. No matter what, Sister Youyou and the others will start playing a few days earlier than us." Yeyuan said lightly.

No matter how high the leveling efficiency is in the Forest Ruins, it won't be so high that it can completely make up for the time difference. What's more, leveling areas like the Forest Ruins are not uncommon in the Orwin Empire, and maybe the efficiency there is just as high.

"That's right." Mu Shui nodded, and for some reason suddenly jumped to another topic, "Ah, I really want to reach level 10 as soon as possible, so that we can challenge the dungeon together."

Nightwish had long been accustomed to the other party's leaps in thinking. "It's not enough to just reach level 10. You may also need to prepare some specific equipment and props."

"Just buy it~"

Mu Shui, a wealthy woman, put her hands on her hips with confidence.

However, Yeyuan rolled his eyes and glared at him, "The price will definitely be at least doubled by then. Do you want to be a sucker?"

"Hey, why?"

"Professional players and studios are fine, but the big guilds will definitely use this first instance of a dungeon clear to create momentum."

Yeyuan had the experience of exploring a dungeon before. Every guild was working very hard, not only for the high-level equipment dropped in the dungeon, but also for the first clear of the dungeon or a faster clearance record. She could never forget how exciting the atmosphere was at that time.

This is true for all games with average popularity, let alone for the phenomenal online game Anno. Nightwish believes that as long as the dungeon is opened, a war without gunpowder will surely break out among the many guilds surrounding this area.

Fortunately, the lowest level dungeon currently discovered in Jiyuan also requires level 10 to enter, and there is more than one such dungeon. The competition between guilds should not involve ordinary players like them too much.

After the break, the two, whose HP and MP have returned to normal, plan to continue killing monsters and leveling up.

But just as they were aiming at the dark bats nearby, they heard a loud hissing sound and the exclamations of the players not far away.

Nightwish turned his head curiously.

A dark bat that was several times larger than a normal monster suddenly appeared in her sight. Its obvious appearance made her have no doubt about its dangerousness.

"Hey, is it a boss-level dark bat? This seems to be the first time it appears." Mu Shui next to him also noticed the situation over there.

"No...something's wrong."

Yeyuan muttered to himself, suddenly pulled Mushui's hand beside him, and ran behind him without thinking, "Go!"

Just now, she used the clairvoyance technique on the dark bat and saw clearly the information displayed above its head -

Dark Bat King [Boss]: Level 15, HP 6000/6000.

At the same time, some curious players tentatively launched attacks on what they believed to be "boss-level monsters."

……

I lied to you.

Chapter 43 Let me guess what your expressions are now

Lying is not good, so this time it's really a holiday (escape)

True Chapter 43: Battle to Attack the Forest Ruins (I)

hiss.

A sharp hissing sound was heard, and most of the players in the forest ruins area subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

Then they all saw a dark bat that was several times larger than an adult elephant. It just flapped its wings, and a group of bats transformed from black shadows scattered and invaded.

The players who were a little closer were enveloped by the terrifying black fog formed by the bat shadows before they could react. They had no ability to resist and their health dropped rapidly like a waterfall.

Those players who were farther away reacted quickly and dodged backwards and were saved.

In just a few minutes, a large vacuum area appeared around the dark bat in the forest ruins.

"That should be the boss-level dark bat!"

"Isn't this destructive power too terrifying?"
