Chapter 185: Dragon Slayer's Might, Beset on All Sides
This low howl seemed to convey a command.
The Spider Web Monster Warriors in the rear began to spray poison onto the flames.
The light green poison had an effect on the flammable liquid, extinguishing the ring of fire within five or six seconds!
With such a commander like the Spider Prophet, things are even more troublesome.
The wise Spider Prophet can adapt quickly, taking measures to control the situation.
"Sir, shall we use the Fire Rain Magic?"
"I stored three Fire Rain Magics in the Beret during the gap in meditation last night, ready for use at any time."
Favide proactively reported. In such battles, strictly following the commander's orders is a professional quality of a qualified warrior. The arrangement of each skill needs the commander's coordination to achieve maximum killing effect. Although they won't act arbitrarily, they will proactively offer their suggestions.
Zong Shen nodded upon hearing this, pointing his hand towards the front of the Gun and Shield Warriors.
"Target the contact point of both sides and unleash a Fire Rain Magic, control the release range of the magic, and avoid friendly fire."
Favide accepted the order, activating the magic storage function of the [Wise Beret].
The previously stored Fire Rain Magic was unleashed.
A fiery red magic array formed above the mine hall, starting to rain fireballs down on the Spider Web Monsters!
Each round of fireballs fell like raindrops, with dozens of fist-sized fireballs hitting the Spider Web Monsters, leaving black scorch marks that made it hard for them to stand steady.
The pressure on the front line was significantly reduced, allowing the Gun and Shield Warriors to become more composed.
The attack of the Spider Web Monsters faltered, as several Spider Prophets gathered together.
"Humans, stop your attack..."
"Or if you disturb our Lord, none of you will survive..."
The only response was a sharp arrow shot by Mapple.
It grazed its cheek, leaving a deep scar.
"Damn... humans..."
"Once the Lord completes its demonization, we will flatten the world on the surface!"
This shouting Spider Prophet held a magic staff embedded with a peculiar eyeball.
Covering its wounded face, it yelled while hiding behind the Spider Web Monster Warriors.
"Pah, brag all you want."
"Such a small tribe, yet you dream of flattening the surface world."
Zong Shen spat on the ground in front of him, cursing.
He had no intention of reconciling with this group of Spider Web Monsters.
In the fights between alien races, there's no room for kindness, everything is just a ploy of delay from these creatures.
Obviously, the Spider Web Monster Lord who devoured the Demon's Heart is at a critical stage of transformation.
And the demonization of these Spider Web Monsters is undoubtedly related to it!
Eliminating this group of Spider Web Monsters and completely occupying this area of the mine is Zong Shen's only goal.
In their eyes, humans are just a delicious meal.
Only fools would believe their empty talk. If they retreat this time, who knows what trouble awaits once their Lord completes demonization next time!
"Attack with all your might, don't hold back, eliminate this group of blocking Spider Web Monsters as soon as possible!"
Zong Shen shouted softly, drawing out the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.
The wide heavy sword, like a door panel, exuded a sense of oppression.
Raising the sword, even with his 43 points of Strength, Zong Shen felt a bit strained, as the weapon's minimum strength requirement was 42 points.
He raised the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword with both hands, rushing forward to the front line, viciously slashing at a Little Spider Web Monster!
The heavy sword in his hand was like a guillotine, slicing the Little Spider Web Monster diagonally in half from its left shoulder!
The yellow-green bodily fluid splattered as the split body fell powerlessly to the ground.
[−160]
The damage flashed high – this strike instant-killed the wounded Little Spider Web Monster!
"This heavy sword is really something!"
Zong Shen was very satisfied with the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword – its imposing design and high damage made the attack incredibly satisfying, reaching the heavens with joy.
Seeing their Lord so mighty, morale surged!
Under the cover of Fire Rain, the two or three dozen Spider Web Monsters in the front line were swiftly cleared.
All around lay the scorched, curled-up corpses of the Spider Web Monsters.
The remaining Spider Web Monsters didn't dare to attack, cautiously observing from their place, their limbs tapping the ground, as if yearning to flee.
For decades, they roamed unchecked in the burrows, reckless, never encountering such formidable opponents.
"Roar!"
…
Every Spider Prophet let out a roar!
The roars echoed together in the mine.
They began summoning reinforcements, determined not to allow Zong Shen and his group to penetrate deeper into the lair.
Once the Spider Web Monster Lord fails to demonize, their tribe is completely finished.
After these Spider Prophets issued their summons, more "rustling" sounds emerged.
Even from the passage Zong Shen used to arrive, rustling sounds could be heard.
A group of Spider Web Monsters was also rushing at them from behind!
These Spider Web Monsters likely entered through the left passage earlier, so when Zong Shen and his group entered the mine, it was calm, and no Spider Web Monsters appeared in the right passage.
It wasn't until they started destroying the spider eggs that they caught the attention of the Spider Web Monster swarm guarding the nest.
Now facing a situation where they were attacked from both front and back, the situation finally felt a bit tense.
The two Goblin Rippers standing at the rear began to brace themselves, the blade wheels in the hands of the Tearer Mecha began to spin rapidly.
The buzzing of the chainsaw sound reverberated, making people's teeth feel unconsciously sour.
Originally in the front line, the Wolf Cavalry split off six members to join the Goblin Rippers at the back, establishing a defensive line from behind.
Zong Shen also used the skill of the [Ghoul Ring], summoning two Ghouls to assist in rear defense. Although the whiteboard Ghouls had weak attributes, they were suitable as cannon fodder to block damage.
All ten waves of Fire Rain descended, yet the front Spider Web Monsters showed no intention of advancing.
It seemed they were waiting for reinforcements from the rear.
"If they won't advance, let's take the initiative."
"Front row, start moving forward!"
Zong Shen waved the heavy sword in his hand and shouted!
The front-line Dragonized Spear and Shield Warriors raised their heavy shields and slowly progressed forward with raised long spears.
Like a crushing boulder pressing down with immense weight.
The Spider Web Monsters facing the Gun Shield Warriors and Zong Shen shrieked in fear, seemingly trying to retreat.
Unfortunately, the Spider Web Monster swarm in the back was too bulky for them to retreat, leading to a stampede. It was like a tide pushing the rear backward.
Zong Shen wouldn't let them escape. With a heavy sword in hand, he leaped to the forefront.
"Earth-Splitting Wave!"
He raised the heavy sword high, using the Earth-Splitting Wave skill lv20 against the Spider Web Monster swarm in front of him!
The heavy sword struck down, shattering the upper body of a Spider Web Monster in front of him into pieces, collapsing onto the ground.
The ten-meter fan-shaped area in front began to shake and crack.
A multitude of stones was directly shaken up, like indiscriminate artillery shells striking those Spider Web Monsters.
[-232],[-247],[-227],[-222]
…
A series of damage numbers floated up like snowflakes.
With Zong Shen's Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword, the basic slash damage was already 175, plus the 1.5x range damage bonus from the Earth-Splitting Wave, making this hit's damage was of indescribable magnitude.
The Spider Web Monsters were already packed together, with at least dozens crammed into the ten-meter fan-shaped area, including several Spider Prophets.
Those in the area not only took heavy hits but were also stunned for three seconds, allowing the Gun Shield Warriors to rapidly advance.
Their long spears thrust out repeatedly like skewering candied fruit!
The Wolf Cavalry from both sides also closed in, their sabres constantly slashing.
Zong Shen leaped up, stepping on the body of a front-line Spider Web Monster Warrior, reaching the nearest Spider Prophet, and started charging the heavy sword!
Over two seconds later, just as the dizziness was about to dissipate, Zong Shen's Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword ended its charge, striking at the Spider Prophet's head!
"Thud..."
[-210]
The sword slashed off a third of the Spider Prophet's head, which was an unarmored area, resulting in full damage. Combined with the Earth-Splitting Wave's damage, it knocked off half of its Life Value.
The severe head injury didn't kill it immediately but greatly affected its state.
Its body swayed, with viscous fluid oozing from the wound.
Even holding its Magic Staff became unsteady, its entire body started trembling involuntarily, rendering it combat ineffective despite not being dead.
The new rule indeed didn't lie; after inflicting effects like dismemberment, heavy injuries, and maiming on enemies, although not instant kill, it significantly reduces enemy combat efficiency.
Scored a success, Zong Shen retreated swiftly before these Spider Web Monsters recovered, assisting the Gun Shield Warriors and Wolf Cavalry with Luna to kill the Spider Web Monsters.
The reinforcements of those Spider Web Monsters also arrived from behind!
Zong Shen glanced back and saw a big creature in the rear.
A Spider Web Monster Queen with a huge abdomen was unmistakably in the middle of the group.
This Spider Web Monster Queen seemed to have undergone demonization too, looking even more bizarre.
It was exceedingly cunning, having no intention to go to the front lines to show off. It stealthily hid in the middle of the Spider Web Monster swarm, surging with the group towards Zong Shen's rear!
In front of it, several Spider Web Monster Warriors stood stacked like a human pyramid to cover it.
It raised a Magic Staff, ready to seize the moment and fish in troubled waters at the right position!
Zong Shen, seeing this, decisively turned around with his sword, retreating from the front line to charge towards the rear.
The Spider Web Monster Queen, being a Purple Commander Level monster, warranted attention.
This time he didn't want any more casualties!
