How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Shelter the Gospel.

The gauntlet part of the Shadow of Anlunsa suit that I just obtained before the competition started some time ago. The power of this epic equipment is self-evident. Even in its damaged state, the skills attached to it are extremely powerful.

With three times the magic damage as the limit, it can absorb damage below this value and convert it into a barrier shield, reducing damage above this value. If cast in a team battle, it is basically invincible, and now it also applies to this high-frequency attack.

System: [Everything] analysis progress has reached 25%.

Just as he blocked this fierce attack and launched a counterattack, a system prompt suddenly flashed in front of him.

I was stunned for a moment before I reacted and couldn't help but feel happy.

This is an additional ability gained after the three remaining pages of the Eternal Library and the Eternal Gallery are completed at the same time. It can record the target information of oneself, including monsters and BOSS. There is also a reason why he did not use displacement skills to dodge, but instead took on this attack head-on. Taking damage can speed up the analysis process.

Although it is only 25%, it is enough to reveal some key information.

Like weaknesses or something like that.

Roar--

But at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the front.

I looked up subconsciously and found that the lava monitor lizard had broken free from the mud and jumped out of the black mud swamp. Its huge body fell to the ground and caused a violent shaking. As soon as it landed, its huge animal eyes locked onto me firmly and it rushed towards me with a roar.

The distance was no more than thirty yards.

Where is the weakness?

I opened my all-seeing eye and scanned the area. The data analyzed by [Everything] was clearly imprinted in my field of vision, and the "weaknesses" that ordinary players might have to fight through several times before they could be determined through the collected data were also marked.

On top of your head?

When I saw the location where the mark appeared, I was stunned and looked at the lava lizard rushing towards me. A crazy idea suddenly came to my mind, making me immediately give up my original plan and the magic I had intended to use.

【Interrupt instruction】

The precious skill on this magic crystal was used, and the charge of the lava giant lizard was almost stopped just when it was about to rush in front of him. He could even feel the whistling wind coming towards him.

Although the skills on these equipment and other props are not counted in the number of times, the five spells accumulated previously have already restarted the effect of the time loop, allowing the next spell to be released instantly.

However, this spell was somewhat special. It was used by the AI ​​opponent in the qualifying round before.

Summons a Shadow Beast.

The moment the ferocious beast like a jackal appeared from the shadows on the ground, it pounced on the lava monitor at my command. The several times difference in size made the scene look like a death charge launched by synchronized soldiers on tanks.

That's exactly what happened.

The Shadow Beast's inherent hatred-attracting effect caused the Lava Monitor Lizard, which had just stopped charging, to immediately draw its attention to the little thing in front of it. Seeing that the other party dared to actively attack it, the Lava Monitor Lizard, feeling that its dignity was challenged, angrily raised its thick forelimbs and smashed it down.

The Shadow Beast simply couldn't withstand such a distance and was crushed to the ground. Its health suddenly dropped by nearly half, and it soon turned into ashes and dissipated under the flames that followed from the Lava Giant Lizard.

But its mission is accomplished.

As early as when the Lava Monitor Lizard was attracted by the Shadow Beast, I used my skills to leave the combat state and switched to the thief profession. Taking advantage of the gap between its attacks, I activated the Shadow Hide and quickly approached the former's body. Using the hook on the Messenger Ring to hook the protrusion on the back, I quickly jumped onto the back of the Lava Monitor Lizard.

A scorching breath hit me in the face. The lava monitor lizard was born in magma, and even the scales on its shell were glowing with flames. Just by getting close to it, my health was dropping rapidly.

"Ahri."

I called out quickly and used up a bottle of advanced recovery potion at the same time.

Ahri was very smart and immediately cast a red light that enveloped my body.

[Flame Armor]: Fire resistance +20, constant reduction of 1500 fire damage, lasts for 10 minutes.

The slow blood recovery of the advanced recovery potion, coupled with the increased fire armor resistance and damage reduction, made the speed of blood loss almost stagnant, allowing him to successfully gain a foothold on the back of the lava giant lizard.

Use the Shadow Beast to attract hatred and climb to a position where the Lava Lizard cannot attack.

This was the thought that popped into my mind before.

It is also a very risky move. Apart from the flames on the scales, if you make a misjudgment or inadequate movement, the lava monitor's attack and flames will instantly overwhelm you. Even if you succeed, it does not mean there will be no trouble. There is no saddle on the back of the lava monitor, and it is not easy to sit firmly on top of this big head.

Especially when the Lava Monitor Lizard had just dealt with the Shadow Beast and found someone crawling over its head, it immediately became furious, twisting its body and swinging its huge head desperately, using all its strength to try to get rid of the opponent sitting on its neck.

Chapter 123 The Final Level

However, having seized this opportunity, how could I let it go easily?

He held the short blade tightly in his hand and thrust it into the gap between the scales on the back of the lava monitor lizard, using it as a support to fix his body. He aimed the other short blade at the weak spot identified by the All-Seeing Eye - a piece of dark red soft flesh at the junction of the head and the spine, and stabbed it hard.

Shadow Slayer is a legendary dagger weapon, suitable for stealth assassination. It is obviously not suitable for a head-on BOSS battle like this, so I replaced it early on with another legendary weapon that I specially fused through Pandora's Box some time ago.

-2571

The blade pierced deeply into the soft flesh on top of the lava monitor's head, and just a normal attack caused more than two thousand damages, which indirectly confirmed the accuracy of the Star Destroyer's high attack and weakness.

Without any hesitation, I swung the Star-Destroying Blade in my hand up and down, leaving hideous wounds on the soft flesh.

The lava monitor's weak spot was severely damaged. It felt so painful that its eyes turned red. It twisted its body frantically, trying to throw the person off its back. However, its neck was short and thick, so it was simply wishful thinking for it to turn around and attack. Its thick limbs could only trample on the spot, and the surrounding rocks were crushed to pieces but it was of no use at all.

In its anxiety, it planned to use the flaming blade it had used before.

However, the flaming blades were born and evolved from the bottom along the arrangement of the scales. Due to the poor control ability of the lava monitor lizard at the moment, only a few of them were able to turn around and attack the enemies on their backs.

I quickly lowered my body. I could almost feel the burning breath from the scales rushing into my nose and eye sockets like a heat wave. It was so hot that it was uncomfortable, but I had to endure it. After all the flaming blades had passed over my head, I used a dark star that had just condensed to temper the star-destroying power of Abyss's Star-Destroying Blade with a vengeful mentality.

The dark purple star floating next to the short blade suddenly shattered and turned into a strange stream of light that was hardened into the surface of the blade, making the Star-Destroying Blade, which was already as exquisite as a work of art, even more uniquely beautiful.

stab.

After the blade was completely penetrated into the body, it formed a violent aesthetic in sharp contrast with the blood splattered around it.

Roar--

The lava monitor roared continuously, completely falling into a state of madness, and struggled desperately on the spot. Its huge head spewed flames in vain, hitting the surrounding ground and igniting scattered flames.

However, the short blade secured it so that it would not be thrown off, and the more it struggled, the more the dagger tore and cut through the soft flesh on top of the lava monitor's head, causing it even more pain and torture.

The only threat to him was the flaming blade, but as long as he managed to get the timing right it wouldn't hurt him.

The lava lizard was still roaring, but as its blood volume decreased, it seemed increasingly weaker, and its struggling movements became slower and slower.

Until finally falling into the 10% warning line, the trump card he was planning to use was interrupted by the [Interrupt Command] he had reserved. The Lava Monitor Lizard, which had lost all means of resistance, was like fish on a chopping board, and he easily took away the little blood left.

boom--

The huge body like a mountain fell to the ground with a loud bang. I had already jumped off its back one step ahead. Looking at the dead lava monitor lizard behind me, I breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Although it seems easy, actually my condition is not very good either.

His health has dropped below 20%, and he is suffering from severe burns. If it weren't for the armor and damage-increasing aura cast by Ahri, plus the blood-sucking effect of the Star Destroyer's Star Power, it is very likely that he would not be able to withstand the high temperature of the lava lizard's body surface.

But this is a bit too much, because I know I was just taking shortcuts. My previous play was almost rogue, and it turned a potentially fierce battle into a one-sided suppression. If other players were to pass this level, it would probably take more effort, or they would fail at this level or even at the previous levels (laughs).

"This this!"

Just then, Ahri came flying from behind, holding a crystal.

"Thank you for your hard work."

I rubbed Ahri's head and fed her a rainbow crystal, while taking the crystal and other items dropped from the lava lizard.

There were three pieces of dark gold equipment, with average attributes, which I just glanced at and threw directly into the backpack. There were also four gems of brilliant quality, two skill books of fire mages, and more than three hundred gold coins. There was nothing much to say about these.

The only special thing is the crystal that Ahri brought over.

The honor of experience

Type: Special material

Description: Adding this item as a forging material when forging equipment can increase the equipment level by 20 and increase the corresponding attribute gain.

It can be used for Shadow Slayer. I quite like this equipment but its level is a bit behind. Now I have this item so I don’t have to use Pandora’s Box to fuse a legendary dagger again. After all, the latter needs to consume materials, and the type, attributes and effects of the equipment produced are completely random.

The previous levels didn't drop many items, but this lava lizard gave a lot of rewards. Perhaps it was a reward from the official. After all, one can imagine the energy consumed by one person fighting against the boss monster.

After resting for a while and using a recovery potion to restore my health to full, I stretched my body, looked up at the tall tower in the distance, and walked forward along the scorched rock path with Ahri.

At the end of the road, I stopped.

Only when I got closer did I realize how grand this tower was. It was as big as an ancient castle, and even the stone gate at the bottom was twenty or thirty yards high and wide. Compared to it, I was like an ant.

Obviously, whether it is the last level or judging from this tall tower, the gatekeeper here must be extraordinary.

I took a deep breath and chose to enter the next level.

Rumble.

The huge stone door seemed to be touched by some force and opened with a rumbling sound. The dazzling white light emerging from the gap instantly submerged itself.

Chapter 124: Unexpected Clearance

When the light returned to my eyes, my vision was instantly covered by a magnificent golden color.

I found myself in a huge space, and the walls around this space were made entirely of gold, and the crystals inlaid in them were as bright as stars.

But the real light source still comes from the surrounding ground. The piles of gold coins, gems, crystals and pieces of glowing equipment almost occupy the entire space, with golden, silver and colorful lights complementing each other.

Whether it was the gold cave of the werewolf leader that they had seen before, or the secret room in the underground ruins, compared with the picture of the many treasures in front of them, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

It can be said that it is like coming to the treasure house of a dragon.

In fact, it is true.

Because the next second after I looked over, I noticed that there was a huge golden dragon sitting in the center of these treasures, and it was looking straight at me with a pair of huge dragon eyes.

Golden Wing Azer [Lord]: Level 160, HP: 8500000/8500000

? ? ? ?

Wait, what are we fighting for...

A weakened boss of level 140 is already exhausting enough, so a level 160 lord might not be able to defeat him even if all contestants in the empire gathered together, right?

Without thinking, I put Ahri back into the pet space and planned to exit the level immediately.

This is already a question of whether or not we can win.

After passing the fifteenth level, I must have made it into the qualifying list, so there is no need to waste energy on the last level.

But at this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly descended and interrupted all his movements, but it seemed unusually gentle and did not hurt him. At the same time, the golden dragon actually opened its mouth and spoke human words.

"Don't worry, little one, I have no ill intentions. Well, to be precise, not yet."

The voice was tolerant, like that of a gentle middle-aged man. Seeing that the golden dragon indeed had no intention of attacking, I thought about it and moved closer to it along the raised dragon claws, wanting to know what it was planning to do.

"After all these years, someone finally made it here. Obviously you have proven yourself."

The golden dragon Azel showed appreciation in his eyes. "As the final guardian of the trial, I will consider showing some mercy in the next test. If you pass my test, I will give you a special reward."

"And if you fail." Ezel's tone changed, with a sly look in his eyes, "You can choose to hand over a treasure that satisfies me in exchange for another chance. As long as you pass the test, I will refund you in full."

"Of course you can choose to withdraw at any time, including now, and I respect the right of each of you to choose."

"By the way, if you accept the test but cannot pass it until the end or intend to leave, I will retract my previous judgment and regard you as a guy who overestimates his own abilities. I will personally send you out of this ruins, and even the blessing effect on you will not protect you."

Azel's tone was lighthearted, but judging from what he said before, one could guess what the so-called "personally" meant, and judging from the last sentence, it was obviously a punishment of death and demotion.

"...Can I know what the test is?"
