Chapter 44 How can you lose when a skeleton is charging at you?
puff!puff!puff!
Almost simultaneously, the three lesser demon sentinels were pierced through the skull by bone spears and died on the spot.
Thanks to Ark's precise control, the three spears did not explode, and naturally did not attract the attention of the demons in the outpost.
After observing and confirming that no one had noticed, Fangzhou commanded dozens of skeletons to quietly pour into the outpost.
However, upon entering, Ark saw two little demon guards with shocked expressions.
His heart tightened; just as he had expected, the entrance hall, even the one with the highest difficulty level, was guarded.
Fortunately, Ark was prepared, and his staff remained poised and ready to be used.
Skeletal Shackles! Skeletal Spears!
With two soft thuds as they fell to the ground, Fangzhou breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He's still not very good at stealth.
He wouldn't have to be so cautious if he wasn't unsure whether he could face all the demons in the outpost at the same time.
However, although there were some minor setbacks, the outcome was still good.
Based on his previous experience, Ark led the skeleton army quietly into the left corridor.
The familiar gate, the familiar commotion, and the familiar army of skeletons bursting through the door.
This time, however, there were 23 demons in the room, including 15 lower-level apprentice demons, 5 middle-level apprentice demons, and 3 middle-level apprentice demon children.
The demons here are many times stronger than those on easy and normal difficulty levels.
Besides the increase in strength and numbers, what troubles Ark the most are the three demon children holding obsidian orbs.
The Bone Shield can only block physical attacks, but it cannot stop the Abyss Demon Child's Devouring Magic talent.
Furthermore, the room was quite large, making it impossible for Ark to completely hide behind the skeleton and avoid being seen by the demon child.
Fortunately, one of the demon children was located near the entrance and was instantly killed by Ark's decisive double attack of Bone Shackles and Bone Spears.
But at the same time, the other two demon children who were further away realized what was happening.
They looked angry, pointed at the ark, and muttered incantations.
Fang Zhou felt a chill run through his body, and his mental energy decreased by 10%, realizing that he had been hit again.
However, the Abyss Demon Child's Devouring Magic talent cannot be activated continuously.
Fangzhou seized this window of opportunity and decisively commanded the skeleton army to charge at the two abyssal demon children.
At the same time, he waved his staff and unleashed the [Bone Arrow Rain] skill towards the area where the two demon children were located.
Under the precise strike of dozens of bone arrows, six or seven lesser demons that were blocking the demon child's way were severely injured and then killed by the skeleton army.
At this moment, the other dozen or so lesser demons also realized what was happening.
Their faces were contorted with rage as they brandished their steel forks and charged toward the ark.
The Ark promptly conjured several skeletal shields, blocking the Abyss Demon Child's blasphemous rays and the stone projectiles from the Stone-throwing Imps.
Then he hid in the horde of skeletons, directing some of them to block the lesser demons' charge.
With full firepower unleashed, and another combo of Bone Shackles and Bone Spears, Ark successfully killed the second Demon Child.
At this moment, dozens of skeletons were already engaged in direct combat with more than ten lesser demons.
For a time, the battle lines were deadlocked.
The lesser demons are much stronger in individual combat than skeletons of the same level. Under their heavy blows with steel forks, skeletons were quickly severely injured.
Upon seeing this, Fangzhou unleashed the [Resurrection of the Dead] skill with a wave of his staff.
Nourished by necromantic magic, the severely injured skeleton quickly regained its fighting strength and rejoined the battlefield.
Under Ark's precise command, the overwhelmingly numerically superior skeleton army continuously compressed and divided the battlefield, forcing the remaining dozen or so lesser demons to huddle together.
good chance!
A cold glint flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes as he decisively seized this fleeting opportunity.
Another barrage of skeletal arrows!
Amidst the wails of the lesser demons and the explosions of arrows, all the lesser demons below the apprentice rank were slaughtered.
Without these cannon fodder as protectors, the last Abyss Demon Child was directly exposed to the skeleton army.
Its eyes were filled with despair as it screamed and shook the obsidian orb in its hand, trying to unleash another blasphemous ray.
But the Ark won't give it that chance.
Skeletal Shackles!
Bone Spears!
With a sharp whooshing sound, the skeletal spear pierced the heart of the last demon child, signaling that the Ark had secured its victory.
The remaining few apprentice-level lesser demons were also killed one by one by Ark's bone spears.
Fang Zhou frowned slightly as he looked at the chaotic battlefield.
Despite his best efforts to command the skeleton army, the demon's dying counterattack cost him nearly 10 skeletons.
Not to mention, in order to achieve victory as soon as possible, Ark kept releasing skills, and its mental power was also absorbed by the Abyss Demon Child's Devouring Magic talent, leaving it with only 30% of its mental power.
If the battle difficulty in the left room has increased so much, the horned demon boss in the right room will definitely be even more difficult.
At this point, even Ark wasn't confident he could successfully complete the mission.
He took a deep breath, trying to boost his spirits, and then used the [Calm and Composed] skill to restore his mental energy to 50%.
Immediately afterwards, Ark waved its staff, continuously summoning skeletons to replenish the skeleton army to 40, and then returned the way it came, preparing to face the final boss battle.
In the training field, Meng Hongzhuang's eyes were filled with excitement as she carefully recorded the techniques for commanding summoned creatures in her notebook.
"So that's how you use summoned creatures! I've learned another trick!"
Bai Xiaochun looked nervous and hugged her beloved little harp tightly.
"There are so many more demons on Hard difficulty than before. Ark has used up so much mental energy, will the upcoming boss battle be dangerous?"
......
In the simulated battlefield, Fang Zhou had just led his horde of skeletons to the hall when a burly horned demon wielding a giant axe rushed out from the right corridor.
It crashed head-on into the army of skeletons, followed by three Abyss Demon Children of the mid-level Apprentice rank.
Fangzhou immediately realized what was happening.
It seems that the Hard difficulty Horned Demon Outpost also limits the battle time.
If the lesser demons in the left room are not dealt with within a certain time, the horned demons in the right room will rush over and join them, which will naturally greatly increase the difficulty of the battle.
Fortunately, he had spared no effort to quickly kill the 20-odd demons, even at the cost of a great deal of mental energy, which inadvertently prevented the worst-case scenario from occurring.
The hall is more spacious and better suited for the deployment of the skeleton army.
Ark retreated slightly, leaving 10 skeletons to guard its front, and then commanded 20 skeletons to surround the Giant Axe Horned Demon from all sides.
The other 10 skeletons pounced directly on the three panting Abyss Demon Children.
Despite Ark's constant repositioning, only one Abyss Demon Child's Devouring Magic ability hit him, and the loss of his mental energy was still acceptable.
