Chapter 48: The Ark ranks first. Who agrees? Who disagrees?
Another fierce barrage of skeletal arrows rained down.
Several lesser demons fell with cries of agony, and the ensuing explosions caused even greater casualties.
Surrounded by the skeleton army, the lesser demons were thrown into chaos and faced with the Ark's relentless magical attacks. Their initially high morale quickly collapsed.
Several elite lesser demons brandished their steel forks and roared loudly, trying to hold their ground and wait for reinforcements.
However, these troublemakers were quickly and accurately killed by Ark using a double attack of bone shackles and bone spears.
This is the moment when blood is drawn.
Fang Zhou disregarded the depletion of his mental energy and frantically cast spells, striving to inflict greater damage on the lesser demons before the horned demon boss arrived on the battlefield, thereby reducing the difficulty of the upcoming battle.
In just two minutes, the once arrogant group of lesser demons had been reduced to less than half its original size, and the rest were all injured.
Meanwhile, the panting horned demon boss roared as it approached the battlefield.
Upon seeing its ferocious figure, the lesser demons, whose morale was almost completely shattered, barely managed to rouse themselves. They fought back desperately against the skeleton's onslaught, like cornered beasts.
"Cunning! Human! Die!"
Amidst the indistinct roars of the heavily armored horned demon wielding an axe, it charged like an unstoppable chariot toward the battlefield where lesser demons and skeletons were locked in combat.
Hey!
Under Ark's expectant gaze, the heavy-bodied horned demon boss stepped into the trap.
The fragile camouflage couldn't support the weight of its heavy armor and collapsed instantly.
Roar!
Another earth-shattering roar erupted as the skeletal spears that the Ark had already laid in the trap unleashed their power.
Fortunately, this horned demon boss was wearing heavy armor, making it extremely defensive; otherwise, those few skeletal spears would have severely damaged it.
Amidst the chaotic battle, Ark was unaware of the specifics of the pit.
However, judging from the horned demon's continuous screams, it must have suffered a blow and wouldn't be able to climb out anytime soon.
With the formidable enemy, the Horned Demon boss, temporarily eliminated, Ark felt relieved.
He turned to the little demons, whose faces were filled with despair, and gave them a benevolent smile.
"Let me personally arrange your funerals."
The demoralized lesser demons could no longer withstand the onslaught of the Ark and the skeleton army.
With another volley of skeletal arrows, the last lesser demon fell in a pool of blood, howling in agony, marking a stage victory for the Ark.
After dealing with all the lesser demons, Ark did not rest at all.
He led the remaining 30-odd skeletons and rushed towards the Abyss Demon Child without stopping.
The horned demon boss in the trap is wearing heavy armor and has extremely high defense, making it difficult to defeat in a short time.
Since it can't climb out for the time being, it's better to deal with the few demonic children that pose the greatest threat to it first.
Meanwhile, the six demon children were anxiously rushing towards the battlefield ahead.
Their movement speed was already the slowest, and at the beginning, their movement was blocked by the Ark's barrage of bone arrows. Unbeknownst to them, they became completely separated from the other demons in the fog-shrouded jungle.
It wasn't until the screams of the lesser demons rang out that the six demon children found the correct direction to move forward.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Soon, Ark led his skeleton army to a head-on encounter with the six panting demon children.
Upon seeing the intact ark, the demon children's eyes immediately turned red.
They were preparing to unleash their Devouring Spell talent when Ark nimbly slipped into the horde of skeletons, escaping their sight.
Having lost the protection of the lesser demons and being surrounded by the skeleton army, the fate of these six demon children is self-evident.
With the loss of three skeletons, these demonic children, who should have caused the Ark great trouble, were easily surrounded and killed by the skeleton army.
Only then did Fangzhou breathe a sigh of relief.
His hastily devised battle plan was meticulously crafted and intricately linked.
Provocation, seduction, entanglement, traps...
Every step had to be perfect to achieve our current winning situation.
Only an Ark with four-dimensional attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people and the ability to summon an army of skeletons can truly carry out this plan.
Without a sufficient number of skeletons, the massive trap that plays a crucial role cannot be dug out in a short time.
Without a sufficiently high agility attribute, they would have been caught up and surrounded by the lesser demons long ago.
Now, as long as we defeat the horned demon boss trapped in the trap, we can successfully clear the Abyss difficulty.
Fangzhou took a slight breath to calm his tense mind, and then led the skeleton army toward the trap.
At this moment, on the training field.
Watching the horned demon boss roaring and struggling in the trap on the live stream, Ye Fan felt a sense of desolation for no reason, as if he were seeing himself being tricked by Ark's optical camouflage cloth half a month ago.
Instructor Chen Qingshan is right; those who play tactics are too corrupt.
The other trainees were also completely dumbfounded.
When Ark was watching the skeleton army digging traps, his ingenious ideas amazed everyone.
Before this, no first-year student had ever imagined that they could use the environment to defeat the enemy in a simulated battlefield.
They all believed that with Ark's current strength, it was completely impossible to defeat the demons in the outpost on Abyss difficulty head-on.
However, they forgot that, in addition to his terrifying strength, Fang Zhou was also a shrewd mage who was good at making use of every advantage.
Then came the Ark's deliberate seduction, successful maneuvering, perfect division, and decisive decapitation...
A series of dazzling maneuvers left the trainees mesmerized and completely impressed.
Given Ark's performance, if it's not designated as the number 1 seed, there must be something fishy going on.
Coincidentally, in the conference room, Lu Hu was also excitedly slapping the table.
"Ark, seed number 1, who's in favor? Who's opposed?"
The other instructors also looked on with admiration.
He was skilled in both literature and martial arts, possessing both courage and wisdom.
As long as Fang Zhou doesn't perish halfway through, he will surely become a great general in the Human Alliance.
Su Tiankuo coughed lightly and glared at Lu Hu, saying, "Quiet down, you bastard!"
Don't open the champagne at halftime; we still haven't dealt with the toughest enemy, the heavily armored horned demon.
"Even if they gnawed their teeth off, the bone clubs summoned by the Ark wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on the heavily armored horned demon."
Lu Hu grinned, already sensing that Principal Su was all bark and no bite.
He dared not be presumptuous any longer and turned his attention back to Fangzhou's live stream.
......
In the dense fog of the jungle.
Fangzhou looked at the horned demon boss in the trap, which had extremely high defense and was incredibly resilient, and felt somewhat troubled.
This thing is so hard to kill.
The horned demon's scale armor defense is already far stronger than that of cannon fodder demons like lesser demons and demon children, not to mention that this horned demon is a dungeon boss of Abyss difficulty and is also wearing full heavy armor.
Given its defensive capabilities, the skeletons summoned by the Ark would have difficulty inflicting effective damage on it.
