How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

The normal idea of ​​any guild would be to hold back the Evil Tooth Soul and output the Dark Bell instead, just like what Rose Heart did before.

However, the key point is that the terrain will not be restricted by the player's ideas and will still cause damage to the BOSS.

So the poisoning erodes the blood volume, and the dark bell restores the blood volume. The blood volume does not decrease at all, but the attack power will continue to increase with the passage of time.

In addition, although the Dark Sacrifice Bell does not have much defense, its 800,000 health points cannot be dealt with in a short period of time, and the interference of the group of resurrected evil-toothed rat spirits must also be taken into account.

Even if we bring the elite groups at the front of Rose Heart together, it will probably take twenty minutes.

Dolan roughly calculated that if this time was multiplied by the terrain poisoning effect after absorbing more than 20 Revengeful Ratmen, it would be enough to reduce the health of the Revengeful Soul to about % under normal circumstances.

In other words, even if they broke the Dark Bell, they would face the Evil Tooth Soul, which had the attack power to kill everyone including the front row instantly, but was still in full health.

If we continue along the original path, the result will be almost unsolvable.

But if we take the underground tunnel as I said and lure the ratmen from the Eviltooth Tribe into the tunnel, the terrain on the surface will not absorb them and increase the poisoning effect.

Even if the evil-toothed ratmen in the altar still exist, they are still a minority compared to the more than 15,000 ratmen in all the tribes combined, and will not have much impact.

After listening to Dolan's explanation and getting a confirmed answer from me, everyone finally understood the meaning of my previous actions.

But there is one thing Dolan is still curious about, and that is what the situation is like in the mutated forest within the three paths.

"According to the information dug up by the brothers and sisters in the strategy team, there seems to be an ancient stone tablet buried inside, which can temporarily remove the effect of the terrain and achieve the purpose of completing the mission."

"However, this forest has been transformed into a maze by an unknown force. The layout of the maze will change randomly. If you want to find a pattern in it, it will take a long time."

After hearing from me that it would probably be much more troublesome than the underground tunnel, everyone lost much of their curiosity, especially since I added one more sentence.

"There are also monsters called Shadow Dryads here. They will camouflage themselves on ordinary trees and devour players who enter the forest without anyone noticing. Therefore, this route is generally not recommended."

After all, this route was designed to trick people, and they didn't even consider whether there was any pattern or possibility of finding the location of the stone tablet in the maze.

Anyway, as long as there is a feasible solution for this task, it can be released. Who cares about the player's experience?

The mission was over, and everyone used the scroll to return to Riedenburg in a safe area.

It's as lively here as ever, with players and soldiers constantly coming and going.

The fierce battle situation on the front line did not seem to have changed at all because Rose Heart and others destroyed the ratman's altar and resolved the hidden crisis.

After all, for the overall battle situation, even a guild of this size cannot play an important role.

What's more, it is an individual, a team, or a group of only 500 people.

Only a huge "army" is the key to war.

Whether it is the Antia officials or the beast tide led by the Holy Night Moon Fox.

After the people in the team submitted their tasks, Rose Heart seemed to relax as well. They chatted with each other about girlish topics and looked relaxed and comfortable.

The same went for the little ones. Even Yun Xian and Yun Qian seemed to have blended into the atmosphere and were not as restrained as they were at the beginning.

But while they were chatting happily, some were worried about something.

"Xiaotong, do you think Antia can hold out against this beast tide?"

Dolan looked at the sky in the distance that was as dark as the night sky, and suddenly asked me.

I was stunned for a moment and asked back subconsciously.

"Well, what do you think, Sister Dolan?"

"I don't know." Dolan squinted and shook her head. "Although the current situation seems to be in Antia's favor, I always feel that the future development will be unusual."

Is this a girl's intuition?

I couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, the vast majority of players now have full confidence in this beast tide. It's not just because of their previous experience in online games that they believe that activities must always be completed by players.

It is also because of the successful defense of Antia in the past few days.

Even though the beast tide on the front line was fierce, only one or two towns were lost, and the military losses were even smaller. If this progress continues, there is no doubt that they will be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the empire.

In fact, the beast tide in the previous life was also resolved by Antia with not too serious losses.

But compared to the previous life, the beast tide in this life is quite different.

"Maybe. Who knows?"

I smiled and shrugged.

However, Sister Dolan’s words reminded me of the exchange I had with Saint Night Moon Fox not long ago.

"My friend, what do you think? It seems to me that we don't have much chance of winning this beast tide."

"As a lord, you should have a certain degree of confidence in your subordinates, like me."

"Confidence cannot determine the outcome of a battle. Perhaps I should admit that I underestimated the strength of this group of humans. Although I have your help, the fact is that we still cannot break through their front line."

"We can expect a powerful army to descend from the sky to assist us."

"It would be great if it were true, but it's totally impossible for this to happen."

"That's not necessarily true. You have to believe in miracles~"

Believe in miracles, just like this now.

Regional announcement: The Blood Eagle Lord [Guinness] has led the Demon Expeditionary Force to the east side of the Karen area. All players are requested to assist the town of Antia in resisting.

Regional Announcement: The event [Beast Tide Siege on Holy Night] is changed to [Demon Expedition and Beast Tide Siege], and the event has gained new effects, new content, and new rewards.

Chapter 171 Black Swan Theater

Let’s go back to a few days ago.

The Demon Empire's Obenrao, the southeastern border hub city, Berghead.

Under the rule of the Blood Eagle Lord Guinness, the laws are strictly enforced on the surface, but in reality the corrupt management class has long corroded the foundation of the entire city, attracting many forces with ulterior motives to move in.

Hidden behind the relatively peaceful daily life is a surging undercurrent.

But all this does not hinder the fact that Berghead is the most prosperous city in the entire southeastern border.

Especially in Dongcheng District where the entertainment industry is concentrated, there is an endless stream of people coming and going on every street, among whom you can see races from various dark camps, including demons, devils, dark beasts and even undead from thousands of miles away.

It can be seen that the ethnic groups gathered in Berghead are diverse.

The Black Swan Theater is located in the central area of ​​the northern city. It was built on a main street where every inch of land is valuable. Although it is not as old as those theaters, it also has decades of history.

The architectural style imitates the era of co-governance of the dark camp. It looks luxurious and elegant, which complements the theater's performance direction centered on classics, and reflects the owner's extraordinary taste.

In fact, this is true. The owner of the theater is Count Baroque, who enjoys a certain status in Berghead, and the industries managed by his family are one of the biggest sources of tax revenue in Berghead.

Not only does he have a very good relationship with people, he is also an old friend of Guinness who he has known for many years.

All these reasons naturally make the Black Swan Theatre the most prestigious classical theatre in East City and even in the whole of Berghead.

At this moment, many guests passed the doorman's inspection and entered the theater in an orderly manner.

Among them were traveling merchants, middle-class people, nobles in luxurious attire, and even senior military officers.

The reason so many important figures came was, of course, to promote the plays that the Black Swan Theater had been performing for several days. Although this might not necessarily improve their own taste, it would at least provide more necessary topics of conversation within each other's circles.

When several guards were checking and collecting guests' tickets in the ordinary passage, they were suddenly called by a demon dressed as a steward and asked to go inside the theater to help, and the newcomers they brought with them took their places.

Different from the previous dull guards, the new three guards looked ordinary, but there was a gleam in each other's eyes, as if they had extraordinary experiences.

With their swift inspection, the long team that had paused for a moment continued to move forward, a few points faster than before. Soon, one of the teams welcomed a petite girl from the Flame Demon Clan.

The guard in charge of the inspection fixed his eyes, took the ticket handed over by the other party, and unnoticeably turned off the magic inspection spell. After pretending to check it, he let the person enter the theater.

The same scene also happened in several other teams. With the help of these three guards, more than 20 seemingly ordinary demons, including the Flame Demon girl, entered the theater without being checked.

"Is everyone here?"

This Fire Demon Girl was exactly Satasia, and those who came in with her were either members of the Thieves Department arranged by Victoria, or trusted men sent by Sherlock.

Use special props to communicate and get confirmation from everyone.

During this period of time, Satasia had grown a lot and seemed to have acquired a calm temperament. She gave the order to start the plan.

After receiving the order, these thieves' henchmen immediately took action.

Nina and Ed are a pair of siblings abandoned by their biological parents. They were adopted by the royalist Kennedy family when they were young and became members of the secret organization, the Thieves' Department. During years of training and learning, they developed unique skills of agility and adaptability.

A few months ago, he and other elite members of the Thieves' Department were sent by the Kennedy family to become Victoria's subordinates, assisting her in developing the royalist underground forces in Berghead. Not long ago, he became Satasia's subordinate.

With so many changes, my boss seems to be a little unstable.

In the beginning, these members of the Thieves' Department did have some words to say, but they soon put aside their dissatisfaction. The reason was not only because of the strength displayed by Satasia, but also because of a secret revealed by Victoria.

The royalists are about to subvert and even take control of the entire situation in Berghead, and they will also be able to welcome a new demon king.

Devil.

Decades after the War of Light and Darkness, it has become a symbol of belief for the royalists.

Now we are able to recover such symbols and beliefs and return to their ideals.

This is exciting news for the royalists who have become exhausted after years of struggle.

The same was true for Nina and Edmund, who had lived in the Thieves' Division since childhood. When they first heard the news, they were as excited as the other members of the Thieves' Division who were sent over.

"I don't know what the Demon King looks like. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Don't be distracted by other things while you're on a mission."

Ed reminded his sister Nina calmly.

This made the latter somewhat dissatisfied, and he muttered softly, "What? You are obviously looking forward to it too, aren't you?"

Just seeing Ed's gaze again, Nina immediately stopped talking and stuck out her tongue, pretending to be an ordinary sibling with him. After entering the theater, they avoided the main crowd and headed towards their assigned task point.

Before the show started, many audience members who entered the theater chose to rest in the lobby or wander around.

Therefore, Ed and Nina's behavior did not attract any attention.

Go up the stairs to the third floor of the theater, and you can have a panoramic view of the hall below through the hollow area. This is one of the leisure places. A small library is also built here, and many people choose to stay here.

In the right corner, a guard was patrolling the surroundings.

Just then he suddenly heard a delicate voice. He turned around and saw a demon girl accidentally tripped over the stairs and was about to fall uncontrollably.

The incident happened suddenly, but fortunately the guard reacted quickly and caught the other person's falling body, "Be careful."

A gust of fragrant wind blew over him, causing ripples in his heart subconsciously.

"Thank you."

Nina is a beautiful girl in herself, and with her careful dressing, she looks even more charming.

The guard felt a little dry in the mouth, "No need to thank me, but are you okay, Miss?"

Nina shook her head helplessly. "No, it's a bit unlucky. I think I sprained my ankle. Mr. Guard, can you help me to the seat next to you?"

"No problem at all."

Her delicate posture and charming look made it impossible for the guard to refuse.

"Thank you, Mr. Guard, you are such a good man."

Nina smiled, and her exaggeration made the other party even more complacent. Before her fair little hand climbed up the other party's arm, it stroked his waist unnoticeably.

In just a moment, a bunch of keys were in Nina's hand.

She exerted a little force with her slender fingers and threw it behind her while standing up.

Ed, who "happened" to pass by, caught it and used the sound of the keys colliding with each other by stepping lightly and forcefully. He quickly passed by the guard and Nina.

……

……

There will be only one update today. The recent plot is a bit difficult to organize, so the updates may slow down from time to time in the future.

Chapter 172: Burning Heart

He used the guard's key to enter the utility room and changed into a waiter's outfit.

Ed naturally followed several other passing waiters into the work area behind the scenes of the theater.

He went around several corridors, avoiding the sight of people passing by, and used the tools he brought with him to open a room, which was the blind spot of the theater's defense magic circle.

Such a symbolically significant theater naturally has hidden security forces in addition to guards and patrols.
