Chapter 193: Chapter 184: Getting Ganged Up On by Numerous Abyss Bosses
Along the way, the four of them cleared out the lesser monsters and mini-bosses, quickly arriving at another palace nearby.
This time, before they could storm in, the big boss, along with its escort, came out to face them.
In a narrow path, the brave ones will prevail, Skeleton Army VS Demon Army, a complete rout~!
If it weren’t for the massive horde of zombies holding the line, the Skeleton Army might have been completely overrun.
After just a brief encounter, nearly half of the Skeleton Warriors were dead, and dozens of the Nether Skeleton Mages had been wiped out as well.
Luckily, the horde of zombies was there; compared to the brittle Skeletons, the zombies, with their higher resistance and hit points, didn’t get instantly killed by those hero-template Demons.
The four, situated in the midst of the zombie horde, also glimpsed the master of this palace.
The Abyssal Fiend of the void, with a dark blue, extremely thick and massive body, seemed to stand over five meters tall.
The upper half of the creature was composed of block-shaped masses, with two incredibly thick arms and claws, while the lower half was a swirl of black mist, as the entire monster floated in the air.
A Fourth Order Level 100 Lord Boss, surrounded by its minions which were also Doomsday Guards, numbered a total of fifty, even more than the escorts of the Abyssal Eye Fiend!
As usual, the Skeleton Army was instructed to guard the perimeter while the zombie horde moved in to surround the enemy. The strategy was one word: delay!
The main assault was still led by the Spider Queen, who without any hesitation, went for the attack, completely disregarding being surrounded and beaten by over a dozen Doomsday Guards.
In the face of the Spider Queen’s suicidal behavior, Zi Liyuan didn’t even cast a glance, instead commanding Lao Tie to begin a sneak attack on the Doomsday Guards from the outskirts.
With a hit point total of over 100 million, plus fairly high resistances, killing the Spider Queen was not an easy task.
As for Shen Yurou, Number Two, and Wang Fatty, the three of them didn’t attack the boss but started to clean up those hero-template lesser monsters.
The Abyssal Fiend of the void didn’t just come out with its escort; the Demon Army it commanded also began their slaughter.
Ordinary zombies are just elite-template monsters, and in a head-to-head fight with the Demon Army, they could be slain after four or five blows.
If Zi Liyuan hadn’t kept tossing corpses from his bag to let zombies infect them and replenish their numbers timely, they might have suffered losses as great as the brittle Skeletons in a short time.
As for the Human-faced Demon Spider, it loyally remained in front of the four, duty-bound to absorb any incoming damage as a meat shield.
There’s no helping it, bosses above Third Order had less suppression due to the rules, not to mention that in the Abyssal rift, all monsters are normal creatures, even boosted by the rules of the Abyss.
To think that there weren’t any old sixes among these monsters, they would not believe it if you beat them to death.
Therefore, keeping a super meat shield around to help block incoming skill damage when necessary made sense.
Zi Liyuan was not the type to wear down a boss honestly, so he quietly summoned dozens of Skeleton Warriors, having them haul the corpses of thirty-six Doomsday Guards to the front lines of the battlefield.
Carefully avoiding Lao Tie’s position, he then unleashed the Corpse Explosion Technique to clear the field.
With “boom” after explosion, several patches of deathly domains burst forth scattered across the battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Army suffered heavy blows; one Corpse Explosion Technique, covering a twenty-meter radius, obliterated many in an instant.
And that wasn’t even the scariest part. The most horrifying thing was that those hero-tier monsters that had just been blasted to death stood up shakily in about fifteen to twenty seconds, turned into zombie monsters, and began to bite and fondle their former comrades in a chaotic mess.
With the Corpse Explosion Technique to clear the field, especially with an endless supply of high-level corpse materials, clearing these monsters that didn’t have special resistance to the damage from the Corpse Explosion Technique was really a piece of cake.
This battle, compared to dealing with the Abyssal Eye Fiend, ended even faster, though the Spider Queen on the frontlines bore the brunt of it.
Zi Liyuan was quite insidious. He started by clearing out the lesser monsters and mini-bosses around the edges, while not helping at all in the battlefield where the Spider Queen was fighting.
He just let that Legendary BOSS be overwhelmed and hammered by the Abyssal Fiend of the void and over two dozen Doomsday Guards, nearly getting pulverized.
But just as the BOSSes were ganging up on the Spider Queen, the Vulture Skeleton once again demonstrated the characteristics of an express delivery bomber, carrying several corpses of hero BOSSes, presenting a feast of ribs.
This deathly banquet saw the host of BOSSes fall one by one, peacefully returning to the embrace of the Abyss.
Even the powerful Spider Queen had her health reduced by more than half, showing just how ruthless Zi Liyuan was and how many corpses he detonated.
However, after slaying the big boss and a bunch of mini-bosses, the loot was once again less than satisfying.
Yet another haul of over a hundred pieces of silver hero equipment, but the silver armor set dropped by the Abyssal Fiend of the void was a tank set excluding accessories, also requiring Level 90 to use.
With this team’s setup, what would he need a tank for? Either the Skeleton Army surrounds the boss with sheer numbers, or the zombie horde holds the boss down.
Escaping the encirclement of the Skeleton Army and the zombie horde, to directly kill Zi Liyuan, was not easy, let alone that he had Lao Tie, the Spider Queen, and the Human-faced Demon Spider as his trump cards.
After cleaning up the battlefield, not even sparing the corpses, they entered the palace of the Abyssal Fiend of the void.
The policy of “Kill all, loot all, ransack all” was once again thoroughly executed.
Within the entire palace, any material of the slightest use was taken, including the Abyssal black stone slabs that paved the floor. The extent of their looting did not spare anything.
