NOVEL NEXT Chapter 618 - 257 Hard-Won Victory_1
A barrage of ultraviolet illumination flares were thrown out, instantly turning this floor as bright as day.
Not only were the Black Skin Night Demons in discomfort, but even Xu Xiaojun and his companions found themselves squinting against the ultraviolet light, forced to toss flares based on rough perception alone.
"ROAR—"
The entire body of the Black Skin Night Demon was burning, emitting an unpleasant smell as it roared furiously, crashing about in an attempt to escape the range of the ultraviolet light. But the place was bathed in ultraviolet light; there was no escape.
"You guys hold the flares at the door, ready to replenish them at any moment! Little Xue and I will attack!"
Wang Tao shouted to the others.
"Yes!"
The group nodded.
The intense glare prevented them from seeing clearly, so they couldn’t attack. Since each flare only burned for 25 seconds, someone needed to constantly replenish them. This was a job they could handle perfectly.
As for Wang Tao, he could use his Perception Ability to locate the Black Skin Night Demon, and his eyes could also filter out some of the glare. Jiang Shixue could do the same, which meant only the two of them could attack properly.
Wang Tao took out a bunch of usable potions and handed some to Jiang Shixue, both of them injecting all of them.
Then, with a Bone Knife in hand, he rushed toward the Black Skin Night Demon.
Whoosh—
Although dazed by the overwhelming ultraviolet light, the Black Skin Night Demon noticed Wang Tao immediately.
Bang!
It raised its claws, blocking Wang Tao’s Bone Knife.
However, while blocking Wang Tao, it left its back exposed to Jiang Shixue.
[-420]
[-439]
Jiang Shixue launched a surprise attack from behind, scratching the Night Demon’s nape twice.
Such damage was trivial to a Night Demon with so much HP, but the sneak attack left it extremely enraged.
It immediately abandoned Wang Tao and charged towards Jiang Shixue.
"Be careful!"
Jiang Shixue was quick, but the Black Skin Night Demon was quicker.
As if teleporting, the Black Skin Night Demon appeared in front of Jiang Shixue in an instant and viciously stabbed at her chest with its sharp claws.
Thud!
Clad in Iron Tree Armor, Jiang Shixue blocked the strike, but the armor clearly dented, likely losing a considerable amount of Durability.
Moreover, Jiang Shixue lost a thousand HP—the impact of the Night Demon’s attack had indirectly caused damage.
Nonetheless, with an unchanging expression, Jiang Shixue tightly grasped the Night Demon’s arms after being attacked and, rotating like a hammer throw, flung the Black Skin Night Demon straight towards Wang Tao.
Regaining her memories, Jiang Shixue’s attack methods had become varied and she exhibited better teamwork than before, no longer appearing rigid.
Having coordinated many times, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue understood each other well. As soon as Jiang Shixue grabbed the Black Skin Night Demon’s arms, Wang Tao had already raised his Bone Knife, preparing for an Energize One Hit.
As Jiang Shixue flung the Night Demon towards Wang Tao, he brutally chopped down in the direction it was flying from.
Bang!
[-1584]
The Night Demon was sent spinning away, disoriented by the slash.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shixue had also prepared her next move. As the Night Demon flew towards her, she reached out with her slender claws, striking directly at the back of the Night Demon’s head.
[-483]
[-427]
Another nine hundred HP was shed from the Black Skin Night Demon, but this time it reacted, enduring the discomfort of the UV light on its skin and turned around to pounce on Jiang Shixue like a ferocious tiger.
Bang!
Jiang Shixue was instantly tackled down!
The Black Skin Night Demon opened its triple-split mouth, and out popped a mouthpiece bristling with sharp teeth!
This was a One Hit Kill move that all Night Demons possessed. If the mouthpiece penetrated the body, instant death was almost certain!
Although Jiang Shixue wore armor and a helmet, it was uncertain if they could withstand the strike.
At that moment, Wang Tao suddenly had a pistol in his hand and pulled the trigger at the Black Skin Night Demon.
Bang!
A faint sound echoed as an invisible Air Bullet struck the back of the Black Skin Night Demon’s head.
[-1282]
The head of the Black Skin Night Demon was knocked askew, and the mouthpiece stabbed into the floor, creating a large hole.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Shixue kicked the Black Skin Night Demon and landed two more claw strikes on it.
The enraged Black Skin Night Demon turned and pounced at Jiang Shixue once again.
Whoosh!
Wang Tao activated Rush, arriving next to Jiang Shixue, and his Bone Knife, equipped with high-frequency vibration, harshly slashed atop the Black Skin Night Demon’s head.
[-1349]
"ROAR—"
Consecutive attacks clearly infuriated the Black Skin Night Demon.
But the numerous UV burning flares around suppressed it, especially its speed, which was nowhere near its prime.
Whoosh!
The Black Skin Night Demon blinked to the side of Wang Tao. However, due to its suppression, Wang Tao easily predicted its trajectory.
Swinging his Bone Knife, Wang Tao slashed at the Night Demon beside him.
Bang!
[-1132]
Wang Tao’s firm slash landed squarely on the Black Skin Night Demon’s forehead, but its claws also caught Wang Tao.
[-11833]
[-354]
A casual swipe from the Black Skin Night Demon could strip over ten thousand HP from the Entangling Roots! With only fifty thousand HP left, Wang Tao was feeling the pressure. Three or four more hits, and the Entangling Roots would likely be done for.
Wang Tao tried using Mental Shock, but possibly due to the level difference, the Black Skin Night Demon had no reaction and lost no HP.
Swipe!
At this moment, Jiang Shixue’s attack came again. However, this time it didn’t succeed, as the Black Skin Night Demon blocked it with raised hands.
