86 Chapter 86 - Nightmare Difficulty Level (1/2)

Right away Cheng Yang placed the ring on his index finger, and then slipped a portion of his consciousness into the ring. Instantly, he felt inside was an independent space. The volume wasn't large, only one meter high and one meter wide. Although bulky items can't be put inside, but it was enough for holding potions.

Moreover, the storage ring was different from the general equipment, such as it doesn't increase the user's personal property nor does it occupy an equipment slot.

Cheng Yang retracted his consciousness from the ring, and was about to leave when the grocery store's owner couldn't help but let out a sentence, ”Lord, are you really sure you don't need to purchase anything else? Here we have... ”

”Currently there are none, but I'll make sure to visit the shop again in the near future. Cheng Yang smiled back at the owner, and then simply left.

Next, Cheng Yang began tonight's cultivation.

Regarding eight times cultivation speed, Cheng Yang was already extremely satisfied. In order to have a higher cultivation speed, he must have his power value accumulated to 1 million. If there's no unexpected wealth falling down from the sky, then it would be impossible for him to accumulate to 1 million power values anytime soon.

After the end of today's cultivation, Cheng Yang's cultivation progress went up to 13.1%. And on the basis of the current cultivation conditions, he will need at least 40 days to advance to second order.

This was already an extraordinarily speed. In the one year's times in the previous apocalypse, humanity's strongest powerhouse was only at second low-order, In this apocalypse, Cheng Yang only need fifty days to raise his strength to that level, so his advantages can be imagined.

Following the dawn of a new day, Cheng Yang made his way out from within his courtyard, ready to upgrade the five profession statues' attributes. Currently, the four main profession statues only require one attribute to upgrade. Once the final attribute was upgraded, the four main profession statues will be able to elevate to level 4. At that time, the number of transfer quota in each statue will largely surge. Meanwhile, Cheng Yang also didn't forget to upgrade one of the priest statue's attribute.

After he was done with that, Cheng Yang began making preparations for the Scarlet Church instance.

With Cheng Yang's present strength, clearing the hard difficulty level of the Scarlet Church already prove to be of no challenge, so he had his eyes fixated on nightmare difficulty level. This was also the main reason Cheng Yang chose to use grace early.

In the previous apocalypse, there had been some people that cleared the nightmare difficulty level of the small-sized instances. The data from those clearances concluded that the strongest monster inside has the strength of second early-order.

However, the reason why nightmare difficulty level was known as nightmare difficulty level wasn't just because the monster inside has the strength of second early-order. What's even more crucial was that the final monster needed to be kill introduced the concept of game Boss. In other words, when doing the nightmare difficulty level instance, the final boss can't be measured with the standard of the ordinary monsters.

According to the grade classification of the previous apocalypse, the boss in the nightmare difficulty level can be said to be the most common boss, with health 10 times of those enchanted beasts in the same order. The defense also doubled the monsters in the same order, with the attack power remaining mostly the same. However, by depending on the increase in health and defense, it thoroughly sit on the title of Boss.

Basically, to beat such a Boss, both output and defense were needed. The same can be said about a health-restoring priest. The priest was of major importance, if the warriors merely rely on health potions to recover, sooner or later they won't be able to support unless the warriors can bring along hundreds of bottles of health potion.

Cheng Yang began contemplating on how to clear the nightmare difficulty level of the Scarlet Church since a long time ago. But back then, he lacked the strength as well as the manpower to challenge it. That all changed when he advanced to peak-order sorcerer's apprentice.

Under normal circumstances, a second early-order enchanted beast's health should be around 480, so after being multiplied by tenfolds, its' blood should reach 4,800 points. At the same time, the defense will also go up to 32 points from the original 16 points. This was definitely a pain in the a**.

If it was only the increase in health, mankind's professions could still firmly resist the Boss with the usage of health potion, but can also think up of a method to torment it to death. On the other hand, the two folds increased in defense was equivalent to meaning professions in first high-order or lower can't caused damage to it. Even if it was the general peak-order profession's apprentice, in the event of not wearing any equipment would also only caused injury to this Boss in the single digits. Compared to the high health value of 4,800 points, being able to kill it was an entirely different matter.

At the moment, Cheng Yang's attack has reached an astonishing 64 points, so any damage he inflicted to the Boss will be very substantial. According to the normal situation, if five people entered the instance with the same attack as Cheng Yang, and they each launched a single round of attacks dealing a total of 160 points of damage, then they would need to attack for a total of 30 rounds if they wish to completely kill it.

That means the professions would have to fend off 30 rounds of attack from the Boss. As a second early-order enchanted beast, its' attack would reached an amazing amount of 80 points. Even if the warriors were widely known for their defense, their advancement to peak-order apprentice would only give them 16 points of defense. Even with extra armor, this digit was also hard to surpass 20. This was equivalent to the warrior suffering from over 60 points of injury from each round of attack caused by the Boss. A peak-order warrior's apprentice's health only total 250 points, so bearing four rounds of attack would be the max.

At this time, if the warriors were to use health potion to strongly resist the Boss's attack, then after every round of attack, they would have to consume a bottle of health potion to ensure that their health value won't decreased.
