50 Lesser Purgatory Part 4 (2/2)
I swing down the ax and sliced his nape. Although it bounced a bit, it didn't really stop the blade from the second swing around. As soon as I did that, the interface appeared and the experience quickly appeared. However, I have no time to celebrate with 4 more ogres still on the loose.
\”Lina! Cast one more Hex!\” I shouted.
\”Got it! Lina quickly released another Hex spell. If not for the Hex's slow debuff and the continuous damage overtime against enemies, I would be having trouble too. Looks like I did the right thing to bring Lina along. Although she is not a great fighter at the moment, her support skills can easily deal with helpful skirmishes to kill enemies slowly.
\”One down, four more to go!\”
The ogres started to emit severe bloodlust on the surroundings. It is an unavoidable effect from these guys, the bloodlust upgrade. Once a monster of the same species died, they will emit strong bloodlust which has the effect of stronger attacks. But the good thing about this is that they might have increased their attacks but their defenses drastically fell due to that. It was a kind of demerit.
Usually, during team battles, the tank will suffer a lot of beatings on this one and the healer will suffer a lot of healing troubles because she or he needs to keep the DPS alive while also keeping the tank healthy and strong. With the mana of healers being constantly drained alongside the cooldowns, team fights on hard mode will need two or more healers, two tanks and hard-hitting DPS.
After a few swings, another one fell. As soon as I hit the second one's nape, their defenses drastically fell and their attacks had all tremendously increased. I can feel their damage is too strong now since the minor damage that the shockwaves from their feet can cause half of my HP bar gone in one shockwave. It was a frightening amount of damage for monsters like them.
\”Master! Heal!\” Lina throws a Healing Sanctuary, one of the expendable items for healing that allows any players inside the sanctuary to heal over time. They are good replacement from healers lacking mana but they are rare. But that doesn't mean I would be stingy, besides if I get to higher levels, I won't be needing this kind of item anymore.
\”Thanks, Lina!\” I shouted.
Their HP are all below 20,000 due to the continuous Hex damage they receive and due to the bleeding effect they keep on receiving, the monsters are about to fall in a few more skirmishes. Now, I am ready to destroy them all. Time to get serious this time.
\”Battle Stance, Partial Deployment! Bloodserker!\”
