Chapter 330 – Life Devourer (2/2)
“Holy Light Illumines All.” Fatty simply utilized the Holy Horn.
Holy Light Illumines All was an AoE that could dispel most dark status. A milky-white light descended from the sky and landed accurately on the players in need, lifting the max-health-down curse off them.
At the same time, the priests mass released AoE healing skills, barely pulling everyone through the rain of feathers without a casualty. After the feathers rained down, many players were left with less than 100 health.
“Kill!!!”
The near-death experience fanned fires of fury in their hearts. A warrior swung his long blade and his massive blade light sliced across the air. Instantly, a dozen Undercrows were struck, splattering black blood.
“Piercing Arrows!” The Rainrevelers sharpshooter pulled the string of her bow, and with a graceful posture, she shot an arrow into the sky.
Streaks of light rocketed off the bow and turned into light vortexes as they flew towards the Undercrow herd. All of the monsters in its path screeched and flapped their wings hysterically as a series of red numbers rose from their heads.
This attack alone wiped out half the health of nearly a hundred Undercrows.
“That’s one powerful attack!” Fatty exclaimed.
At the current stage of the game, who wouldn’t have a few long-range attacks up their sleeves? After a round of long-range attacks were tossed out, at least a hundred Undercrows fell and then were beaten into corpses.
Caww caww… The Undercrows in the sky suddenly chorused in unison. Thick gray miasma gushed out from their bodies, expanding as it drifted downward.
“Damn it! This reduces all stats!” the first player to be touched by the gray miasma shouted with an ugly expression.
Holy Light Illumines All. Fatty didn’t budge and simply recast the skill. A milky light instantly entangled the gray miasma before the two sides began a struggle.
“These Undercrows aren’t so scary, are they? Look how panicky they are.” Standing among the rogues around Fatty, LeftHandofGod pouted.
“That’s because we have Holy Light Illumines All. How about you try and go fight them without?” HeadofGod shot him a glare. Knowing it was a bad slip of the tongue, LeftHandofGod clamped his mouth.
Holy Light Illumines All could be said to be the bane of the Undercrows. After their two debuffs were rendered useless, the crows were gradually suppressed and their number started to decrease.
CAAAWW!
A booming screech resounded as an Undercrow ten times the mass of a normal Undercrow slowly emerged. The huge skull on its neck and the two flickering green flames in its eye sockets looked particularly creepy.
The instant this crow appeared, the normal ones scattered around it.
“Uncle, please don’t tell me these crows also have some kinda racial skill that can form a magic formation or things like that,” Fatty yelped to Bai Xiaosheng.
“While I hate to disappoint you, that’s highly the case judging from what we’re seeing…” Bai Xiaosheng was bitter. After pausing a little, he explained, “Since all of these monsters are survivors from the last war, it’s nothing strange if they formed an army and developed their own group formation.”
At that moment, the remaining 600 odd Undercrows spread out in a circle that covered an area of nearly 200 meters. From the green-flame eyes of some, green beams shot out at the players. Unlike the debuff miasma earlier, these green beams drilled straight into the bodies of the victims they touched.
“My health!!” A knight screamed in panic. His health bar was plummeting at a terrifying rate.
Whoosh whoosh… Several cleansing lights fell upon this player. However, they all failed to stop his health from dropping.
Holy Light Illumines All. Fatty tried it once again, but surprisingly it was useless this time.
“This isn’t dark magic, but life magic!” Bai Xiaosheng sucked in a cold breath as he suddenly remembered something. “This magic is called Life Devourer, it seems like undead magic but actually belongs to the Life attribute. It can absorb the target’s life force until they die. Holy magic doesn’t work against it, we have to kill the casters to stop it.”
By now, over a dozen players had been infused with the green light. As their health bars took a nosedive, the situation soon got out of hand for the limited number of priests present.
The players launched offensive AoE skills, wanting to kill off those monsters that released the green lights. However, there were far too many Undercrows to tell which were the ones who attacked them.
“Ughh, to think that I’d die at the doorstep. Ahhh…” A player gawked as his health fast approaching rock bottom, bracing himself for a die-and-respawn.
The players present were all professional experts, but no one could single out the several crows that shot the green lights from over 600 of them. Killing them all was a choice too time-consuming that no one could afford.
“Elemental Sword Diagram, rise!” Amidst the crisis, Fatty could only resort to this killer move.
The Elemental Sword Diagram flew out and hovered in the air while continuously expanding. In just a few breaths, it enveloped all of the Undercrows above.
