Chapter 334: Undead Elf (1/2)
Although it was quite embarrassing that a swampman was quietly allowed inside his residence, the Pyrocrystal Cannon that Tyler Meredith had unearthed from the high elf ruins was quite powerful.
Stretching out from beneath ground, its barrel appeared to extend over thirty meters and consisted of over a hundred spiral silver metallic tubes. Each barrel was inscribed with elven arcane text, and it has a complex beauty in appearance only, even if one couldn’t have known that it was a weapon.
After burning off Illum crystals-a material that breaks the hearts of the Players, electric bolts began to spark between the silver metallic barrels.
Even so, those were not actually electric bolts. They were actually energy masses, compressed and focused into arcane radiance.
And when the sparking bolts reached a certain number, the entire cannon shone in violent white light. Hence, a silver beam-a photon ray was fired out the ‘mouth of the barrel’ of those hundreds of tubes!
Indeed, it was neither the most commonly see straight-line laser beams or a solid weapon, but an artillery strike that directly blows up the enemy with bursting photon ray…
Right now, the goal of the Pyrocrystal Cannon was to shoot off the outer shin of the Tunnel Eye Serpent!
The photon ray that was fired through the application of some unknown principle easily drowned the Tunney Eye Serpent, and on the surface, it was obvious that the monster’s body was being disintegrated by photons.
It was worth mentioning that the monster was able to take the full brunt of the Players’ Colored Skills without taking so much as a scratch, its HP bar never once appearing!
Didn’t that mean the single cannon strike was several times more powerful than the first-rate Players’ Colored Skills?
That was why one of the Players sneaked up beside the photon ray and put his hand into it.
“Oh, wow! This thing is so powerful, the durability of my gauntlet is gone in an instant!” The idiot Player exclaimed, just as a strand of the photon ray coiled around his hand and rose up to his arm, consuming the entire Player and vaporizing him, and the thick, powerful ray only then reverted to calmness then. The other players were left in awe at the sight of it as well. “You’re gone too…”
Naturally, the Player was already blabbering away in the chatroom with horrible timing, holding off against ten others by himself as the forum bustled with noise and excitement.
Nonetheless, after someone had tested the ray with their pig hands, the other players understood that the photon ray was quite the tough cookie, and therefore instinctively kept their distance.
Even if they could all come back to live, there wouldn’t want to die accidentally since it costs them EXP.
And when the light faded, the barrel tubes of the Pyrocrystal Cannon had turned from its silver metallic silver to red, having clearly overloaded and couldn’t be used for a while.
Even so, the true form of the Tunnel Eye Serpent was revealed to all. Chunks of Illum crystals were hidden beneath the protection of its skin of stone and mud, and it might be inappropriate to still call it the Tunnel Eye Serpent now—at the moment, that monster was no different from an eastern dragon which body was composed of crystals and precious stones!
At the same time, the HP bar that the Players had anticipated for a long time appeared!
Indeed, Edward’s prolonged confusion was promptly relieved. “I see, that’s why it’s called an Illum crystal lifeform. The mud and rock skin it had over its body was all fake from the very beginning! The bits of Illum crystals exposed is where the true form was!”
That was why its HP bar couldn’t be seen at all before—they weren’t looking at its true form.
And now that its outer ‘skin’ had been shredded off by the photon ray, its true form was utterly exposed before them, which was the reason why the HP bar showed up now!
