Chapter 221: Meeting A Dragonkind Party; Slaughtering Other Races
Lin Moyu had killed Abyssal Blade Demons before, and more than once. However, he had never fought them head-on, but rather blew them away from the get-go.
The Abyssal Blade Demon revealed a ferocious expression, its eight arms glistening like eight giant blades under the unique light of the Immemorial Battlefield, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
[Abyssal Blade Demon]
[Level: 43]
[Strength: 20,000]
[Agility: 20,000]
[Spirit: 20,000]
[Physique: 15,000]
[Skill: Blade Dance]
[Traits: Halved Defense to the Light Element, Halved Dark Elemental Damage, Fast]Judging at its attributes, which totaled 75,000 points, it was comparable to the Black Rock Monster. However, it didn't have physical and elemental damage reduction traits. It was actually weaker than the Black Rock Monster.
In Lin Moyu's eyes, the Abyssal Blade Demon was very weak. Apart from being able to fly, it had no other merits.
The Abyssal Blade Demon saw Lin Moyu's level and sneered, "A level 30 runt dares to come to the Immemorial Battlefield? Didn't expect my luck to be this good! I can have a hearty meal today! My strategy—searching along the edge of the battlefield—is pretty great, as most newcomers usually are at the edge."
Lin Moyu mused, "Didn't this guy see me kill the Black Rock Monster just now?"
If it did, it would have run away already, instead of talking big here. This was simply courting death.
Seeing that Lin Moyu neither talked nor ran away, it thought that he was paralyzed with fear, "Ha-ha, you're scared? Sweet human flesh, here I come!"
It roared excitedly and swiftly flew toward Lin Moyu, but then suddenly saw that the corners of Lin Moyu's mouth were lifted slightly. Not only was there no fear in his eyes, but there was even a hint of contempt.
All of a sudden, instinct told it that there was danger. But it was already too late!
With a hum, its body suddenly sank, as if it had been weighted down by something. Red light fell down in wisps, and it saw a red sword-shaped pattern, seemingly dripping with blood, appear on its head.
"What is this?" It couldn't understand what was going on momentarily.
Immediately after, it heard a loud boom, and its consciousness went out. Its massive corpse fell heavily in front of Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu had detonated the corpse of the Black Rock Monster. Before detonating it, he first used Damage Curse on the Abyssal Blade Demon!
Damage Curse increased the damage dealt by 10 times. In addition, level 4 Corpse Explosion dealt 750% of the corpse's health as damage. The Black Rock Monster's physique reached 30,000 points and so its health was really high, showing exceptional results with the Corpse Explosion skill.
The Abyssal Blade Demon, who was sneering a moment ago, succumbed to the explosion in the next second.
[Killed level 43 Abyssal Blade Demon, EXP +1,720,000, military merit +1,000]
The military badge emitted a white light, indicating that Lin Moyu earned military merit.
Very good! Killing Abyssal Demons not only yielded more EXP than monsters of the Immemorial Battlefield, but also provided military merit. If he could go to the Abyss in the future, the harvest would undoubtably be substantial.
The closer you got to the center, the more monsters there were. Lin Moyu encountered strange and peculiar monsters in the Immemorial Battlefield.
A black cloud was floating in the air, and when Lin Moyu reached it, it suddenly began to rain.
The rain triggered the Bone Armor. The rainwater that fell on the ground emitted faint smoke, corroding the ground, while the Skeletal Warriors emitted sizzling sounds.
This black cloud was a monster, called Soul Cloud, with a 95% immunity to physical damage. Lin Moyu was forced to use Skeletal Mages to deal with it.
Afterward, he encountered a swamp. Lin Moyu was cautious, thinking monsters might be hidden in the swamp, only to find out that the entire swamp was a monster.
When he approached, the swamp suddenly moved, trying to engulf him. The swamp was immune to physical attacks and water elemental attacks. In the end, Lin Moyu used Skeletal Mages to burn the swamp completely dry.
"The monsters here, at the very least, have dual damage reduction, with the majority immune to a single kind of damage. So far I haven't met any groups of monsters."
After staying in the Immemorial Battlefield two days, Lin Moyu gained some understanding of this space. He was sure he was going in the right direction.
In the last half a day, the frequency of monster encounters had increased significantly. Unfortunately, Lin Moyu hadn't met any more Abyssal Demons.
After finding a relatively clean place, Lin Moyu sat down to eat and rest.
The looming mountains in the distance, under the hazy light, remained unchanged, always so far away, seeming out of reach.
Suddenly, a soft sound rose in the air hundreds of meters away, and the space split like fabric, forming a spatial channel.
Lin Moyu became alert right away.
A creature flew out from the spatial channel.
"Dragonkind!"
It resembled the Dragonkind monsters Lin Moyu had seen in the outpost dungeon, only larger, with a pair of flesh wings on the back flapping continuously, holding a sword in its right hand and a shield in its left.
Five more monsters similar to the Dragonkind monsters he had seen before flew out of the spatial channel, wielding either sword or stave.
"One Knight, two Warriors, two Mages, and one support, this is a Dragonkind class user party!"
Lin Moyu had heard from Bai Yiyuan that Dragonkind also had class user parties, and their class users were no weaker than human class users. Reportedly, part of the human class user system was inextricably linked to Dragonkind,
In the Immemorial Battlefield, encountering other races meant either you die, or I perish. Humans, Abyssal Demons, and Dragonkind, the three factions were mutual enemies.
Lin Moyu was ready for battle.
The Dragonkind class user party had also discovered Lin Moyu on the ground.
"Human!"
"He bears the scent of Dragonkind. He has killed our comrades before."
"Kill him!"
The several Dragonkind shouted.
The Dragonkind party's support applied status buffs to the party in a flash. This Dragonkind support was of a class similar to Battle King support, applying status buffs to the whole party.
At the same time, Lin Moyu unleashed Detection, and a gust of wind surged.
[Dragonkind Knight]
[Level: 48]
[Strength: 25,000]
[Agility: 15,000]
[Spirit: 10,000]
[Physique: 30,000]
[Skills: Extreme Defense, Skin Hardening, Group Taunt...]
[Traits: Defense Enhancement, Dragon Scale Armor Enhancement, Curse Resistance Enhancement]
There were too many skills, more than 20, making it hard to keep track. Not unlike human Knights, it had a lot of defensive skills. Its attributes totaled 80,000 points. After the status buffs were applied, the attributes grew even higher.
As far as Lin Moyu knew, human superior class user Paladins, at level 50, the total of their attributes was only around 80,000 points.
Level 50 human Paladins could only match the level 48 Dragonkind Knight. In this regard, the human race was at a disadvantage.
But humans exceeded in other areas: team coordination, equipment crafting, potion concoction, and so on.
In actual combat, humans were not weaker than Dragonkind.
In the span of a second, the support was done applying status buffs, and then the Dragonkind party flew toward Lin Moyu.
This was the first time Lin Moyu encountered another race party other than Abyssal Demons.
He was fully prepared. At this time, red light flickered in his palm.
Skill: Slow Curse!
Skill: Damage Curse!
Lin Moyu cast two curses one after another.
A red chain pattern appeared on the heads of the Dragonkind class users, then was instantly replaced by a blood-colored sword pattern. After slowing down for a moment, their speed returned to normal.
"It turns out that curses can't be stacked! They will conflict with each other!"
Different from what he had imagined, multiple curses could not exist at the same time. Only one curse could exist at a time.
It was unknown whether it would change in the future, but that was how it seemed right now.
Hum!
A light appeared on the Dragonkind class users and shot straight into the sky, dimming the curse.
The Dragonkind Knight said with disdain, "It's useless. We Dragonkind are naturally resistant to curses, reducing the effect of curses to less than one-tenth."
One-tenth, that was still 100% increase in damage, which wasn't bad at all.
When he heard that, Lin Moyu showed no reaction. He simply pointed at the approaching Dragonkind party with a finger.
Skill: Bone Fangs!
Pale radiance erupted from his fingertip and burst in an instant, illuminating a large area.
A total of 1,200 Bone Fangs tore through the air, emitting a scalp-tingling whistling sound.
The Dragonkind Knight didn't take the Bone Fangs seriously at all. After all, for a mere level 30 human, how powerful could his skill be? However, the skill did look a bit intimidating.
Not only the Knight, but also the teammates behind it showed looks of disdain.
Dragonkind possessed a though hide, with the scales covering their bodies being the best armor. Coupled with defensive equipment, they could shrug off such attacks with ease.
The Dragonkind Knight lazily placed the shield in front of it.
The dense mass of Bone Fangs covered a vast space, making it impossible to dodge.
The Dragonkind party met the fangs head on, feeling disdainful. But then, miserable screams rang out.
The Bone Fangs pierced their defenses with irresistible momentum, and bloody holes appeared on their torso, limbs, and wings.
Such was the price of underestimating the enemy.
The weakened Damage Curse, combined with the 40 times amplified Bone Fangs, shattered their disdain.
The physique of Dragonkind was indeed formidable. Although they looked like they were severely injured, but it was no more than flesh wounds.
In mere seconds, blood stopped flowing out, and the flesh began to regenerate.
Their support cast healing skills. Accompanied by droning sounds, everyone's injuries were healed quickly.
The Dragonkind class users looked at each other in disbelief. How could the skills of a level 30 human class user so powerful? Severe pain swept through their nerves. It was entirely different from what they knew.
White light flashed again.
"Defense!"
The Dragonkind Knight roared and activated a group defense skill, and a huge circular shield formed instantly and protected everyone inside.
This time it didn't dare not be careless.
Bone Fangs hit the shield wave after wave, deforming it continuously.
"Charge! Kill him!"
"Mages, attack!"
The Dragon kind Knight roared and rushed toward Lin Moyu with the shield.
At the same time, the Dragonkind Mages in the party started. Flames spewed out from their staves and engulfed Lin Moyu, turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
The Bone Armor flickered brightly. Lin Moyu stood in the sea of fire, unscathed.
When the Dragonkind Knight broke through the Bone Fangs' assault and landed in front of Lin Moyu, two Dragonkind Warriors rushed out and charged at Lin Moyu. But then their vision darkened.
