How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

I thought to myself with a slight warmth left.

But sometimes plans cannot keep up with changes, especially on such a fierce battlefield.

Chapter 187 Breakout

A fruit bomb was thrown high into the air and fell toward the rear of the Ares Guild.

The slight residual heat that had previously focused his attention on the human figure was not noticed at all.

It was not until he heard the noise that he noticed the abnormality above his head. He was startled and subconsciously interrupted the spell to try to dodge, but it was too late.

boom--

The fruit bomb exploded in the back row, causing massive damage while releasing the venom inside.

-1237

Contaminated by the poisonous gas, he coughed with a slight heat and stretched out his hand to disperse the poisonous gas in front of him, but suddenly he noticed a sudden shadow out of the corner of his eye.

-350

and many more.

Only then did he remember that there was a huge threat in the distance, and he quickly took out an instant recovery potion from his backpack. However, before he could use it, he was poisoned and his remaining blood was taken away.

Fortunately, the gray fog covering Ares was not particularly thick. Not long after he died with a slight fever, a famous priest found his body and quickly resurrected him.

"This hateful guy."

The slightly warm Yuwen who was pulled up briefly thanked the priest and cast an angry look into the distance. In his opinion, being killed by a monster whose strength was lower than his was really a shameful thing.

However, just as he cast his gaze and prepared to chant a spell, he saw the familiar sign at the front end of the other party's raised staff -

Arcane Nebula.

It turned out that after killing Weire Yuwen, the main body, Shadow transferred its hatred to the players around it according to its hostile identity, and thus cast a group spell.

The nebula-shaped arcane energy fell, instantly killing the priest's remaining heat before he could recover, and even killed other Ares members around him.

Even if only 60% of the attributes are inherited, the damage is still considerable.

Similar situations not only happened to Weire Yuwen, but also occurred in various locations on the battlefield, including Storm, Eternal Spire, Ares, Valhalla, large and small guilds, and even individual players.

Most of these players who were attacked were examples of shadows being born after being killed by the Shadow Dryad.

Moreover, because they were defending against the beast tide on the spot, most of those killed in the subsequent battles with the beast tide were actually the output of the back row, resulting in all of these shadows inheriting the attributes of the output profession, as well as attack methods and skills.

Why did the fortress wars between guilds in the previous life cause such severe damage?

Because both parties in the battle are players, they have a variety of skills.

Now that there is a group of shadows who can fight in the way of players, the threat they pose to the player community is undoubtedly huge.

What's more, even if these shadows are destroyed, they will be resurrected after the death of the player, and will continue to move towards this side from all corners of the forest.

Coupled with the surging tide of beasts, the outcome for everyone can be imagined.

"Sister Qingqiu, we can't hold on here anymore."

Beibei said breathlessly. She had just dealt with the inexplicably appearing shadow for her companion and she was still feeling frightened.

Yili Qingqiu glanced at the team on Aurora's side. Qingyu and the others were in the same situation as they were in Paradise Lost. They were being defeated by the coordinated attack of the beast tide and the shadow.

She sighed softly.

"Let Tianqing and the others prepare the palace magic to clean up the surrounding area and hold on. I think the army will not sit still and wait for death. Maybe they will come up with some solution."

A similar conversation took place on Baofeng's side.

"Boss, a new batch of shadows has appeared here." Lan Hai said anxiously in the communication.

In fact, there was no need for the other party to explain. Black King Caesar could also see many black figures appearing in the forest in the distance. He knocked away the approaching monsters, retreated from the front line, rubbed his forehead, and felt for the first time that the situation was so serious.

"Let the brothers use all the attacks they can and delay for a while. The army should be able to deal with it."

The originally solid front line had already seemed precarious due to the previous beast tide's surging offensive. Now, due to these sudden dark shadows, many casualties had occurred and the front line could only continue to shrink towards the center, reaching the point of imminent collapse.

Most players don't know what to do when faced with this situation. They can only try their best to hold on and pin their hopes on the army that has been slow to take action.

The army did not disappoint the players and made the appropriate decisions.

However, this decision seems a bit difficult.

"The previous decision was wrong. The situation is beyond our expectations. If we continue to stay in this strange forest, we may be in danger. We must break out."

I am happy to see the collective death of players, but I don't want this group of troops to be buried with them, especially since many of them are my subordinates.

Moreover, the front line in Mosley Bay could not get support, which might cause a chain reaction and completely disrupt his future plans.

After asking Kai and the others to start clearing out the leaders near the army, I asked someone nearby.

"Mr. Military Officer, any news?"

"Yes, Miss An, according to the information sent by the scouts, we are now located in the southeast side of the forest. If we want to break through, it is best to advance in that direction."

"Very good, notify the army to gather their formation and advance at full speed to the southeast."

Darent was stunned. "Miss An, do you mean to let the army make the breakthrough? This way, the army may suffer considerable casualties."

"The situation is urgent and we must act immediately. If the breakthrough is not sharp enough, the momentum of advancement will be hindered, and the situation will become even more critical. At this point, the strength of the army is at least guaranteed."

"I understand."

Darent nodded, feeling a little ashamed that he hadn't considered his children enough.

Under his specific mobilization, the army immediately gathered into formation. If the previous on-the-spot defense was a steel-like line of defense, the army's formation at this moment was like a sharp spear.

At the same time, the players also received notification from the army.

"Is it a bit of a pipe dream to break through in this situation?"

Lan Hai was stunned when he heard the news.

"But there's no other way, right?"

Black King Caesar thrust the Slodic Blade into the ground. A powerful impact knocked the surrounding monsters away, instantly clearing a space for the surrounding Storm members. "Notify the brothers to use the speed-boosting potion."

"The front row is responsible for covering, and the back row is given priority to evacuate and follow the army to break out."

Although other guild members and players were also surprised by the army's order to break out, this move was undoubtedly the most correct answer under the current circumstances.

Moreover, the army also took the lead in taking the lead in making up for the previous misjudgment.

The players put aside their dissatisfaction and followed Storm's example, using powerful skills to intensively clear out nearby monsters, waiting for the order for the army to charge.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The loud sound of war horns rang out.

Chapter 188 Backhand Annihilation

The loud sound of war horns rang out.

All army soldiers and players have a special gain status mark on their bodies.

War Swiftness: Increases movement speed by 10%.

Although the bonus is not high, this kind of ultra-large-scale gain is undoubtedly very important, especially for the overall gathering of more than 10,000 people. It is a huge improvement. It is obvious that the army has played its trump card.

It is also a sign of a breakout signal.

The original defense circle had already shown signs of collapse following the army's orders.

All players knew that if they fell behind at this time, without the cover of the front line, they would definitely be completely overwhelmed by the vast tide of beasts around them, so they all consciously tried to move inward as much as possible.

The originally circular formation was condensed into an olive-like shape with pointed ends.

Those in the front are naturally the troops responsible for clearing the way, while those in the back are the warriors and knights who have received orders from the guild to cover the rear, as well as the players who inevitably fall behind due to the shrinking formation.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

What's more, the total number of troops and players is more than 10,000.

Holy Glory, Silver Blade, Dawn Barrier...

Kai, Bemira and Daisy, three elite paladins of level 100, guarded the front of the army like the strongest shields, and completely forced back the invading monsters.

No matter whether it was an ordinary monster or an elite, even the boss and the leader could not resist the power of these three people.

Like a shield, it is more like the sharpest spear tip of the army.

The paladins in the monastery's elite group formed thin blades on both sides. The power of light appeared frequently, cutting the monsters on both sides with the spear tips, either defending or killing them outside.

This greatly eased the formation formed by the army behind, but these soldiers did not relax their vigilance at all, and they firmly protected the battlefield mages in the middle, as well as the clergy and priests of the monastery elite group.

"Guide the reappearance of glory, obey your will and punish these lost creatures..."

The magic that required a lot of lengthy incantations to be chanted was only performed by the elite priestess Bili using only five and a half groups of syllables, with the final syllable uttered out of her mouth.

A magnificent ray of light appeared from the sky and transformed into dozens of bright beams of light that fell towards the herd of beasts in the distance.

boom--

In just a moment, thousands of monsters were destroyed by this powerful attack, clearing out an extremely conspicuous hole in the surging tide of beasts.

With Bili's performance being so outstanding, it was natural that Shim, as her companion, could not fall far behind.

"Great and eternal being, please guide us and grant us the power to protect us from disasters."

A huge glorious shadow appeared, like an angel or a god. As Shim chanted the last syllable, the pair of folded wings instantly opened.

The army bathed in countless stardust received a bonus to its overall attributes. Even if it was only a certain improvement for each individual, when it was magnified to the entire army, the combat effectiveness would increase exponentially.

Obviously, the army is the most vulnerable point in the crisis, but at this moment, it is like an invincible spear.

Even as they went deeper into the beast tide, there was still no sign of stagnation, and they quickly broke out to the southeast with the group of players behind them.

This performance surprised many players.

"As expected of the Rockhorn army, it's so powerful."

"The people in the front shouldn't be there. It's impossible for Rockhorn to have so many elites."

Yili Qingqiu shook his head and explained, "Also, their attire doesn't look like the style of the Antia Holy Temple. It looks like some other force."

"So that's how it is? I didn't even notice it." Qingyu was a little surprised.

"Sister Qingqiu, Sister Qingyu, stop gossiping and hurry up and catch up."

Beibei shouted as he directed the members around him to quickly follow the army's footsteps while resisting the beast tide on the right.

The players were surprised, and in fact even the soldiers in the army and the officers who were sent over were also surprised.

Because they had never thought that they would be able to break through the beast tide so smoothly.

"As expected of the elite of the monastery."

Darent looked at the hundreds of powerful elite figures in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But what they didn't know was that in addition to the powerful strength of Kai and others, the monastery elite group was also involved, and someone was secretly making deliberate arrangements for the beast tide.

However, on the surface, facing the crowd that wanted to break through, the beast tide behaved like wolves that smelled blood, and together with the shadows in the forest, they kept biting the team. At the same time, beasts in front were attracted.

The two sides seemed to be in a tug-of-war between encirclement and breakout.

However, compared to a tug of war, the team composed of the army and players is more like an icebreaker on the polar ocean, breaking through the constraints of the ice with a strong will.

The closer you get to the outskirts of the forest, the more difficult it becomes, just like getting close to an iceberg.

At the same time, the more casualties the players suffer.

There were originally more than 9,000 players, but only more than 4,000 were left, and more than half of them died in the forest.

Some were swept up in the beast tide, some were killed by shadows, and some players who failed to notice the abnormalities around them during the breakout were controlled and killed by the shadow tree spirit.

These dead players were surrounded by a tide of beasts, and the priest could not and dared not to revive them.

Fortunately, when the number of surviving players was about to fall below four thousand, they and the army finally crossed the cover of the outermost bushes and arrived at the outskirts of the forest.

The air was slightly fresher than inside the forest, and the light was still dim but much brighter.

Everything is exciting.

But no one dared to relax too much, because even if the shadow could not leave the forest, the beasts would not give up and let go of this piece of fat meat that was in their mouths.
