How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"So you wanted to launch a sneak attack."

Satashia had a simple idea. She thought that the other party simply wanted to make trouble for her while she dispersed her forces to the collection point, so she controlled the skeleton warriors and gave orders one by one.

In fact, her command was not needed. The skeleton warriors, who had the advantage in both quality and quantity, easily blocked the opponent's attack. Although some skeleton warriors were sent out, they only accounted for less than one-fifth of the number and could not affect the battle situation at all.

It seemed that the Demon King, who was hiding somewhere, saw the dark bats being beaten back by the counterattack of the skeleton warriors. He gave the order to retreat, and the dark bats immediately scattered and flew out of the open-pit mine.

"It's not that easy to just leave if you want to."

Angered by the opponent's sneak attack, Satashia ordered all the skeleton warriors in the mine to chase after them without thinking.

"Since it has come to this, we might as well take down the Demon King's Castle in one fell swoop. It will only cost us a few more men anyway."

When ordering the skeleton warriors to pursue to the plain about one kilometer away from the mine, Satashia saw that the **demon king was waiting with his monster subordinates at the other end of the plain hundreds of yards away.

There were hundreds of dark bats plus nearly a thousand of them that had joined together, some carrying sticks, some shovels, some stupid green monsters, and some soft slimes that seemed to be just mascots.

"Is this a plan for a decisive battle?"

Seeing the other party's posture, Satasia naturally thought so, and the words of the pink-haired cat completely proved her idea.

"Damn it, damn it, you are bullying my men again, you big bad guy, I'm going to fight you."

What? It was just a child's decision made out of anger. He didn't think about the big picture at all. But it's not surprising. After all, he is older in terms of experience and "that aspect".

"How childish! You dare to rashly declare war with such little strength? Don't cry when the time comes."

Satashia couldn't help but feel proud, and gave the order to attack to all the skeleton warriors in high spirits. Such a group of rabble could not defeat their side at all.

Although Satasia subconsciously wondered why the other side had to choose to start a battle here,

However, facing the attacking skeleton warriors, the opponents also took an attacking stance and rushed over, which dispelled Satashia's concerns.

It seems like he really intends to fight to the death.

On the other hand, looking at the hundreds of skeletons rushing towards us like a tide, I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly.

But no matter what, it’s time to close the net.

The Wall Plain between the open-pit mine and the Demon King's Castle is a relatively soft gray meadow soil that can be easily dug with a shovel and a hoe. Especially in the case of continuous rain in the past few days, small monsters like the Fluffy Rabbit will leave deep and shallow marks on it.

What would happen if the soil less than 50 centimeters below the surface was hollowed out, and the grass on the surface was glued together with mucus, and then an army was allowed to step on it?

The charging group of skeleton warriors answered this question very well:

Faced with the sudden weight, the camouflaged grass collapsed without any warning, revealing a large and terrifying deep pit.

The skeleton warriors were at a disadvantage in terms of reaction ability and flexibility, so they naturally couldn't stop their feet in the first moment. The guys charging in the front few rows naturally plunged into the deep pit and were unable to move.

And the dozens of unlucky guys in the first row who were pressed at the bottom even shattered directly and returned to the arms of the Dark Goddess.

Even though the few rows slightly behind the front row reacted and stopped charging, they were pushed and fell in together by the skeleton warriors behind them who had no idea what was happening.

Someone once described a charging army as a crazy machine. No single part can resist the overall trend, and it can only stop when a button is pressed. Now it seems that this is not unreasonable.

In just a few tens of seconds, about half of the charging skeleton warriors were gone.

"How despicable! They even set a trap!"

At this time, Satashia, who served as the button of this machine, finally realized what had happened and quickly ordered all the remaining skeleton warriors to stop charging.

What she didn't expect was that the other party had even more despicable means to come.

Chapter 13 Some Strange Flame Demons

A comprehensive plan needs to take various situations into consideration.

Although this plan is not perfect, I will not treat critical situations carelessly.

Therefore, I can predict without thinking that the other party will react and order the remaining skeleton warriors to stop. By then, even if the skeleton warriors have lost a lot of strength, they will still suffer heavy losses on my side.

So one of my considerations was why we chose to fight here when there is such a large plain with the same gray meadow soil.

It seemed that the other side had not noticed that there were two ruins-like terrains next to the plain where the army had previously charged, and the piles of rubble inside could serve as a shield.

"Attack the back row."

Just when the skeleton warriors received the order to slow down their charge, no less than a hundred slimes suddenly emerged from the rubble and, under my command, sprayed mucus at the skeleton warriors in the back row.

The skeletons of almost every skeleton warrior in the back row were stained with more or less green liquid. These liquids seeped into their joints, making the movements of this group of skeleton warriors even more rigid.

I ordered this group of slimes to attack the leg bones mainly. The joints of the leg bones were sticky, so most of the skeleton warriors in the back row could not control their body balance and fell forward one after another.

As a result, the group of monsters that had clearly stopped charging under the opponent's order, fell forward like dominoes under the push of the back row.

Immediately, many skeleton warriors fell into the deep pit, and only one-fifth remained at the edge of the pit. However, they were also twisted into a mess like the unlucky guys in the pit.

Without a doubt, at only a small cost, I drove the remaining skeleton warriors into the deep pit, intending to deal with them later.

Of course, the leader wasn't so lucky.

He easily led his men to surround the enemy.

"Are you surprised?" I blinked at the skeleton's empty eye sockets. "I was just acting for you before. I never thought you would be fooled so easily."

Originally, I thought the other party would become suspicious, so I planned to provoke him with the topic of breasts, although I didn't know why a skeleton would be so obsessed with breasts.

"You despicable fellow, how could I possibly see through such a despicable trick?" The flames in the Red Skull's eyes burned angrily.

"If you think about it carefully, you will definitely have some doubts. Well, but it's normal that you skeletons don't have the ability to think."

I also comforted him and found a suitable excuse for him, "If other people can't see it, then they are stupid."

It was such a heart-warming comfort, but for some reason, the red-eyed skeleton fell silent.

Seeing that the other party didn't react too much, I shrugged and ended its life directly.

System: Kill the Skeleton Warrior Elite and gain 80 experience points.

"Hey, isn't he the boss?" I was stunned subconsciously.

I originally thought that the other party must be a boss with a certain degree of intelligence, at least it should be above the leader level, but in the end it turned out to be just an elite, which really confused me——

How can a mere elite monster possess the ability to think and communicate with itself, and issue orders to all the skeleton warriors in the open-pit mine?

But this question may not be answered.

I didn't think much about it and took Hill and some monsters away from the team and came to the open-pit mine.

"Strange, why doesn't it show the task completed yet?"

To occupy a stronghold, it is not necessary to eliminate all the skeleton warriors. As long as there are no enemies inside the mine and your own troops occupy the majority, it will be sufficient.

While some outposts require additional conditions, open-pit mines are not among them.

So to complete this task, you can actually just secretly let your men sneak in when the Beauty Skeleton takes all the Skeleton Warriors away.

But my plan was to wipe out all the forces in the open-pit mine in one fell swoop. Doing so would obviously undermine my plan, so I did not adopt it.

"Maybe there are still enemies in the mine." Hill looked around the mine. Some scattered mineral veins were exposed on the ground, and there were also many mine caves. It would be understandable if there were really enemies hiding there.

I nodded. "It seems that skeleton still has some brains."

After giving orders to his subordinates around him, they immediately dispersed in twos and threes and headed for the nearby mines or deep in the mines. Once they found the enemy, they would immediately report to him.

Soon, Hill and I, led by several dark bats, arrived at the underground space of a mine.

After going down the stairs to the bottom floor, a burning breath hit me in the face. To my surprise, there was no hidden army of skeleton warriors here, only a tall body burning with flames.

"You despicable intruder, you will pay for your stupidity."

A dull sound came from the flaming body, and terrifying flames erupted from it, faintly emitting an absolute deterrent force.

I subconsciously took a step back, recognizing the other person at first sight, "Flame Demon!?"

The demon race was born in magma, their bodies wrapped in flames, and their every move would set off huge waves of lava.

In the previous life, a fire demon was summoned to the ground by players from the dark camp. It destroyed a town as soon as it appeared. In the end, it took the combined efforts of several guilds to destroy it.

That annihilation war made many players remember not only its huge appearance, but also its terrifying strength.

Level 180 Overlord monster.

Although I knew it was a meaningless move, I still protected all the monsters in front of me and looked vigilantly at the giant wrapped in flames opposite me.

"Why are you here?"

"Because this is my territory." I just talked to myself, but I didn't expect to get a reply.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I thought of something, "Could it be that you are the one controlling that red-eyed skeleton warrior, and you are the one who gave all the orders?"

This would explain the previous reason.

"You're very smart, kid." The fire demon looked at him from afar, his tone extremely cold, "But I don't like smart guys, and I don't like mean guys even more."

"So get out of here before I get angry."

I gritted my teeth and looked at the other person unwillingly. I spent so much effort but in the end it was all in vain, which made me feel a little resentful.

But when I thought about the other party's level and strength, I had to put away my dissatisfaction, turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Hill suddenly stopped me.

"Your Highness, this guy is a little strange."

I blinked and stopped subconsciously.

Seeing this, the Flame Demon's voice became even colder, and the flames around him surged even more terrifyingly. "There are some things I don't want to repeat a second time. Get out of here."

I suddenly understood what Hill meant. The other party obviously possessed such terrifying strength that he could easily crush our side, so why did he keep talking nonsense?

It's impossible that all the people in the dark camp are chatterboxes who love to complain.

Seeing that I was not afraid at all, the fire demon seemed to panic. "I'll give you a third chance. Get out of here quickly."

I tilted my head and looked at the fire demon. Apart from its appearance, it didn't seem to have much intimidation.

"If you don't leave now, I will burn you all to ashes."

After thinking for a moment, I waved my hand and let the dark bats and slimes next to me surround me.

"Wait, don't come over here!"

Chapter 14 Counting the Harvest

The fire demon was easily trapped by two slimes, and all its disguises disappeared instantly, revealing a petite demon girl inside, with her name also appearing above her head.

Breath of the Fire Lord - Satasia.

The orange lettering represents the mark of a special monster. I have only seen this mark on a few bosses in my previous life, and those bosses were all above the lord level.

I guess this guy is the only exception, he is only level 0.

"Is this your original form?"

I couldn't help but squat down with some curiosity and poked the lava horns on the other's head, which might be the only symbol of his identity as a fire demon.

However, what made me withdraw my hand was not the scorching temperature, but the other party's bared teeth and ferocious expression.

"Ho ho ho."

I quickly retracted my finger, "Hey, are you a dog?"

"Pah, you little brat, if you dare to insult the great ruler of Vishinodo, the Fire King of Hamogen, Lord Sataxia again, I will burn you and the cow next to you into ashes."

Hill crossed his arms and glanced at the girl on the ground indifferently, without any extra reaction.

I was a little surprised, because Hamogen and Vicinodo were famous even in my previous life, and they belonged to the transcendent area after level 180. Could it be that this guy was really at that level?

But I just thought about it for a moment, holding my cheek and shaking my head, "It's not convincing at all."

Even though it sounds impressive, given this guy's current level, he should be thankful if he can perform at even one ten-thousandth of his level.

“Damn it, if my strength hadn’t recovered yet…” Satashia gritted his teeth in hatred.

"What do you mean?"

From what he said, I roughly understood what happened. It was similar to the plots of some typical Western fantasy novels.

When fighting for territory with other lords, he and his sister were betrayed by their subordinates, and his own strength was seriously damaged. After escaping by chance, he got separated and came to the vicinity of the Demon King's Castle, preparing to accumulate strength again and then take revenge.

"How about it? Isn't it a great plan?" When he said this, Satasia couldn't help but feel a little proud.

I looked at the other person silently, showing a sympathetic look, which roughly meant that this child was hopeless.
