Chapter 198 - Defend the Town (2) (2/2)

With Julia's shout, the mages began to launch their debuff spell, [Weakness], [Pain Amplify], and a lot more. Unfortunately, the demonic monster had negated most of the debuff spell since it has a lot of magic resistance.

However, some debuff spell still managed to successfully affect the demonic monster, including Julia's [Sloth]. The demonic monster's speed noticeably became slower. With the slowed speed, they began to harras the demonic monster once more.

The demonic monster had a more difficult time to dodge the incoming attack. It had to spend more effort to avoid the attack. With that, the attack intensity on the shield lessens. However, this didn't last long. When the debuff's effect ended, the demonic monster regains its speed once more.

The players had to debuff it once more before continuing to attack it once more. This debuff and attack period lasted for several minutes. However, they could not stop the demonic monster from destroying the town's shield.

Fifty minutes after the townsfolk began evacuated, the town's shield destroyed. The townsfolk had already left the town from the town's back gate. However, they still needed to arrive safely at the nearest town and report their town's condition to the authority before the player's quest could judge as complete.

During the time the demonic monster was destroying the town's shield up until it destroyed the shield, the players and the guards could only reduce 15% of the demonic monster's health. Moreover, it was with a painstaking effort.

With the town's shield destroyed, there was no more wall between the demonic monster and the players and guards. The melee players who could do nothing before went up to the front and attack the monster.

The differences in strength could noticeably seen between the demonic monster and the players in this town. With one swing from the demonic monster, several players had their health went down by halves. Meanwhile, the lower leveled player or the one who had worse equipment had their life hanging by a thread. Some players even immediately died because of the demonic monster's attack.

Fortunately, unlike when the demonic monster faces the eight men party before, this time, it had to face around 1500 players plus some NPC guards. Moreover, the players had already seen the demonic monster's power, and they didn't underestimate the monster's might anymore.

With several hundred clerics among the players, the injured player began to get healed and restored their health to full. They could safely continue their attack towards the demonic monster.

The demonic monster also tried to target the weaker players at the back first. However, the player up in the front had already blocked his way, which made the demonic monster had a difficult time to reach the players at the back.

Julia also maintained her distance at the back. Moreover, with more than five hundred players up in the front act as her shield, she could safely chanted her spell and attacked the demonic monster from the back.
