How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Chapter 47 Investigation

At the end of the plain, leaning against the Los Mountains, stands a ruined fortress.

The ancient city walls are covered with mottled marks, and many places have collapsed into ruins, as if telling a long history.

This is a square ancient city covering a vast area, and one can still vaguely see its former grandeur.

In the previous life, this fortress was discovered by Baofeng and rebuilt at the instruction of Yuwen Hao.

With the advantage of the magic tower, there are many leveling points of more than level 100 around, such as the ant beast cave, the Cyclops nest, etc., and closer to the interior of the Los Mountains, there are leveling maps of levels 110 to 140.

It became the main destination for players ranging from level 90 to over level 120 in the More area of ​​the previous life. At that time, the business inside was so prosperous that it could almost be described as Little Roland City.

Now the fortress will be renamed Alice's.

After jumping off Xiaobai's body, I touched Xiaobai's head and put it back into the Sage's Seal. The lazy little guy Ahri slipped in the air and lay on my shoulder again.

Ivan behind me changed into a dagger and followed me into the fortress.

The fortress is full of buildings and complex routes, and groups of monsters can be seen from time to time.

"As usual, you're on the left and I'm on the right. Mark the boss when you see him."

"Received~"

A fortress not only has a command-level BOSS, but also randomly refreshed leaders and chieftains. Therefore, before opening up a fortress, thieves are often asked to go in to gather information. Anyway, now that they have arrived in advance, they can help with this job.

Inside the fortress are streets paved with stone slabs. The streets are very wide, several dozen yards wide, and can accommodate dozens of people walking together. There are dilapidated shops on both sides, and you can vaguely see the former prosperity.

There are many humanoid monsters wandering on the streets, wearing purple and black armor.

Dark Legion Soldier: Level 106, HP: 42400/42400

Dark Legion Shield Guard: Level 107, HP: 45000/45000

Dark Legion Shooter: Level 105, HP: 38200/38200

The Dark Legion is an evil organization in the More area. After being besieged by Roland City, they hid in the Los Mountains and took root and developed. The Los Mountains are next to the fortress, so it is not surprising that these monsters appear.

I released the Eye of Ugal and the phantom on Lawrence's suit, and activated Insight, allowing Ahri to use her newly learned ability to conceal her body and sneak into the fortress.

There are crisscrossing roads inside the fortress, with one or two small squares appearing occasionally, where hundreds of people can deploy their battle formations. These places are often occupied by chiefs and leaders who are all over level 100.

I marked them one by one on the map.

Dodging the monsters nearby, I approached the center of the fortress. When I walked onto a dilapidated street, I suddenly noticed a golden treasure chest in the shop next to me.

It seems that the treasure hunters have not come to this map yet, or have not searched it so thoroughly.

There is a shadow soldier holding a sword and shield wandering around in the store. He is a special elite.

After I approached, the shadow soldier stopped and looked around, then resumed wandering. The perception and alert range of humanoid monsters are generally the highest among monsters of the same level, but they cannot withstand their high stealth attributes.

I quietly went behind him, suddenly jumped up, and stabbed the back of his head with the dagger in my hand.

dizziness.

The control mark appeared, but a golden light suddenly appeared on the shadow soldier's body, and the dizziness was instantly relieved. He turned around and slashed at me.

I didn't expect the other party to have such ability, so I quickly pulled away.

The shadow soldier chased relentlessly, but was blocked by an ice shield summoned by Ahri. The ice crystals exploded on the shadow soldier's body, greatly slowing down his speed.

"pretty."

I praised Ahri and raised my hand to hand over the glowing dagger.

The effect of the Phantom Hand made this attack effective from a distance of four or five yards.

Stun.

This time the shadow soldier was not so lucky and was stunned on the spot.

With the Seal of the Sage, his damage is now increased by 10%, and this 10% is true damage that ignores armor. Combined with Ahri's terrifying attack power, he only takes two or three minutes to eliminate this special elite.

A piece of gold equipment and a dark gold equipment dropped, both for warriors. Although the drop rate of level 100 equipment has dropped, it still can't stop my luck of nearly 20 points.

I casually put it into my backpack and opened the golden treasure chest.

There are two skill books and an equipment blueprint in the treasure chest.

One is the induction lightning of thunder magic, which causes damage and links up to ten enemies for three minutes. During this period, the link will transmit 5% of the damage received by any target.

It is equivalent to a range magic. If it covers these ten targets, it can indirectly increase the damage by 50%.

A rare skill belonging to Thunder Magic.

The other skill is also a rare skill, and it is a re-use of the thief's old tricks. It can perform the thief skills used last time and achieve the same effect.

Using life-saving skills like Flash Step can help you escape from danger faster, using control skills can extend the control time, and the most terrifying thing is using it on a finishing move to settle the damage of two combo points.

If I add my own attack power, even Sister Shuiyan wouldn't be able to withstand two sets of skills in front of me.

It is a powerful skill that can do anything, and it is extremely rare. I have never seen it in the market.

I used up the skill book that I had used again and took a look at my skill bar. It was almost full, and a considerable number of them were passive skills that added bonuses to agility, strength, and the like.

These passive skills can provide a lot of help in the early stages, but now one or two points of bonus are dispensable.

Wait until the time comes to capture the fortress of the thieves training building, and then make specific plans. You can also enter the magic tower in this fortress to learn the skill system of the Dark Word Mage.

In half an hour, he used phantoms, the Eye of Ugar, and communication with Ivan.

We have roughly figured out the distribution of the monsters inside. There are a total of sixty-eight BOSSes, including eighteen chiefs and forty-nine lead ones. They are scattered around the fortress, mainly concentrated on the southeast side.

The command-level BOSS in the fortress is a level 110 thunder beast raised by the Dark Legion. It is located in the central square of the fortress and is surrounded by five to six thousand members of the Dark Legion.

After the subsequent members of the guild arrived, Yiwen and I shared the information we had found out with Sister Qiu Ru and Sister Qiu Li.

The two of them had the same idea as I did, which was to advance from the southeast side where monsters and bosses were relatively dense, which would save a lot of time.

Around 5,000 guild members were divided into 35 teams, three of which were special. One was the hidden profession including Meng Yi and Makino, as well as the mage profession with explosive spell attacks such as Ye Zhi, Ji Chen, and Shi Xuan.

Of course, this includes Cecilia.

Used to clear the area at the beginning.

One is the strong front row of the guild such as Minotaur, Wang Hao, Han Shu and Yun Qian, plus priests such as Hui Li Fu Guang, Yun Xian, Xiao Yu, etc. This team will be the main force in the battle, and they will be responsible for dealing with powerful BOSSes if they encounter them.

Finally, Ivan led fifty or sixty thieves to deal with the more difficult ranged monsters on the battlefield.

These teams naturally also include the elites from Paradise Lost and Aurora brought by Sister Qiu Li.

The command was handed over to Sister Qiu Ru, Sister Qiu Li and Hui Liunian respectively.

Chapter 48: Square

Groups of guild members entered the fortress.

After clearing an area on the periphery and initially gaining a foothold, they radiated northwestwards and cleared the interior of the fortress. The streets were almost everywhere with Alice's members.

The warriors were in the front row, and the arrows and magic behind them killed the members of the dark legion in front one after another.

Alice takes the high-end route. These players are at least elite level in a small guild, and elites in Alice such as Meng Yi and Makino are even much stronger than those in large guilds.

These Dark Legion members who were over level 100 were simply unable to withstand the offensive, and they all became experience for the guild members, dropping a lot of trophies that were picked up by special scavengers in each team.

The damage is minimal, and even if a player dies accidentally, they will be quickly pulled up by the priest.

Gray Liunian was once the president of Blue Shadow, and he was not at all vague in his commands. But even so, Qiu Ru and Qiu Li did not give in at all, and implemented every order to specific teams.

This made Hui Liunian look up to the two sisters.

Under the command of three people, Alice's 5,000 members acted in an orderly manner, like a well-trained army. In about an hour, they cleared the outer perimeter of the fortress on the southeast side and gradually advanced inside.

Especially the two main teams in the middle, like a sharp knife, led several teams beside them to pierce into the heart of the fortress with no success.

It was not until the leader appeared that the pace of advancement was slightly interrupted.

The team of 500 people in the middle was commanded by himself alone, and they also stopped here.

I looked towards the square in the distance.

There were two chiefs, five bosses, and no less than ten thousand members of the Dark Legion surrounding them, occupying the surrounding area completely.

Dark Stoneman [Boss]: Level 110, HP: 920000/920000

Dark Eagle Claw Beast [Boss]: Level 110, HP: 645000/645000

These two types of chiefs and leaders are extremely tall, and there is no advantageous terrain around the square, so it seems that the only option is to fight them head-on with shield warriors.

I thought about it and found the ice mage in the team.

"Sister Shi Xuan, you should have learned Winter Rain, right?"

Shi Xuan and Ji Chen nodded. Winter Rain is the palace magic of the ice mage, which can slow down enemies in a large area.

When they were exploring the map, they learned three ice temple spells from the magic tower hidden deep in the map, and Winter Rain was one of them.

Seeing this, I had an idea and ordered other ice mages.

"Ahri, come with your brothers and sisters."

Hearing my call, the lazy baby Ahri rolled over, jumped off my shoulder, and condensed magical elements.

At my command, more than 40 ice mages around me cast their large-scale spells towards the square in front of them, such as Frost Field, Glacial Ode...

Among them, the spells of Ahri, Shi Xuan and Ji Chen were the most eye-catching. Ahri was strong in damage, while the latter two were strong in range. The two temple magics found different positions respectively, covering the entire square.

The crowd control effect of the ice mage is there.

Tens of thousands of members of the Dark Legion were alarmed and prepared to attack, but their steps were slow.

The same goes for the stone men and eagle claw beasts.

"Shield fighter, take the lead, and the others start to output."

As this order fell into the team, the front row who had been eagerly waiting immediately rushed to the front line and intercepted the oncoming monsters. Yun Qian, Niu Tou, and Wang Hao went over to hold back the attacks of the two dark stone men.

The priest behind him waved his staff, constantly adding various blessings or treatments.

The gray floating light chanted obscure inscriptions, and a holy light spread down in front, affecting all the more than one hundred people in the front row. All of them had a 50% defense increase that lasted for five minutes.

These five minutes are enough to help them gain their footing.

Gray Floating Light then used a temple magic, which affected more than 30 back-row output professions around it, increasing their attack power by % for ten minutes.

Just these two temple magics increased the combat effectiveness of 500 people by 40%.

He is worthy of the title of the Divine Shepherd in his previous life.

Under the powerful blessing effect of the gray floating light, the players in the back row immediately used powerful skills against the group of monsters in front.

I was not idle either. I switched to the profession of Dark Word Mage and activated the Gospel of Darkness on Anlunsa's robe. With the effect deepened, the negative effects attached to my dark spells could also have an effect on the leader.

Without hesitation, he immediately cast spells.

The effect of Dark Gospel was powerful, but the mana consumption was equally terrifying. Even with the mana recovery provided by the magic crystal, plus the recovery of equipment and magic potions, it only lasted about five minutes.

But the effect is very significant.

This directly made his damage share jump to second place, but he was still suppressed by Ahri.

Seeing this makes me want to put Ahri into the space, of course, this is just a thought.

In more than half an hour, the square was cleared.

Those leaders and chiefs also died one after another after leaving behind their own spoils.

According to statistics, there are about fifteen pieces of dark gold equipment, eighty-one pieces of gold equipment, and the rest are miscellaneous materials and props.

The stone man dropped a huge stone shield.

Stonewall (Dark Gold)

Level: 100

Type: Shield

Attributes: Defense 1043-1122, Block rate 61%, Elemental resistance +20, Any damage reduced by 10%, Shield wall level +2, Defense posture level +2, Attached skill Petrified Skin.

Petrified Skin: Increases defense by 3% for 100 seconds, increases damage reduction to 20%, and the next attack has an enhanced hatred attraction effect. The cooldown time is 2 minutes.

Limited profession: Warrior (need to master shield specialization)

This shield can be said to be one of the strongest shields for shield warriors at this stage. It not only has extremely high defense, but the added attributes are very suitable for front-line professions. Whether it is a shield wall or a defensive posture, they are also the most basic and important skills for shield warriors.
