Chapter 140

”You've got to be kidding me.” Stryker123 and his group of players had finally gotten to see BLANKs group of players advancing towards them in the swamp. SoulDemon and his party hadn't slowed their advance, even as James tossed small packs of Snuggle-Woofs and Funky Monkeys at them to try and slow them down. His plan had been to stall the party and allow his adventurers as much time as he could to prepare their defenses. He had bought them maybe four minutes…

”Well, they are definitely efficient.” For the first time, Rue wasn't eating a snack or drinking a drink. She was watching the battlefield intently, completely focused on what was going on. James had taken their forms into the overhead view of the instance, so that they could not only watch everything unfold around them, but so that he could have better control of the situation below.

”Agreed.” The moment the mob aggro had picked up on the party, the Chaotic Sorcerer's spells had gotten…more and less chaotic at the same time. That is to say, he seemed to be manipulating the spells he cast with more intent, allowing them to do the maximum amount of damage or crowd control as was needed for the situation. That was the unique trait of a Chaotic Sorcerer. Their spells could be tweaked by the player to apply additional effects, such as increased damage, more damage over time, crowd control, or even healing.

Chaotic Sorcerers could also adjust the look and shape of the elemental spells they were launching. Earlier, the level 35 Chaotic Sorcerer, BurningJazzHands, was just launching blue fire and bright pink lightning around at mobs. When he got serious, his spells became a myriad of dazzling colors, and packed a lot of additional effects and damage. Meaning he had switched from just throwing around whatever, to casting prepared tweaked spells that he had likely hand crafted for a variety of situations.

SoulDemon, on the other hand, began actively darting too and fro around the group, choosing to engage any and every mob that appeared before anyone else could react. His appearance seemed to fade even more, creating nearly a complete form of camouflage. James's mobs just didn't seem to be able to see him, until he had already made his first attack. By the time they reacted, he was darting away, fading back into shadows, as the sorcerer's spells went to work.

Any time a group of mobs collapsed on the party with a decent size of numbers, SoulDemon would begin dancing in and out of SpinToWin's protective wall of shields, while Crikey launched a bunch of what appeared to be bear traps and trip wires. Any mobs that made the mistake of drawing too close to the wall of shields, would suddenly find themselves electrocuted and stunned by trip wires, or in severe pain and held in place by the bear traps. At which point, SoulDemon would unleash a combo of rapid attacks and skills to bring the closer mobs down, with the sorcerer cleaning up the ones in the back.

Needless to say, James was certain they were gaining a whole lot of dungeon essence for BLANK, which James really didn't want them to take back.

”Man, I'm not even level thirty yet.” Axel42 let out a heavy sigh, his eyes meeting FlashFyre's as he spoke.

The female necromancer laughed at him. ”That's because you stubbornly wanted to try and take down Old Man Jenkins with just the two of us.”

”Yeah, in hindsight, probably not my best decision.” James noticed the Summoner hadn't summoned any of his mobs yet. Having gotten to play around with the class himself, James was even more familiar with Axel42's class now than he had been. He was certain the Summoner had been waiting to see what enemies they were up against, before he summoned his mobs.

”You don't say.” FlashFyre, unlike Axel, had already amassed her set of mobs. Or, more appropriately, she had risen them from the grave. The necromancer had the ability to raise the dead. Funnily enough, by the game mechanics of DCO, things that shouldn't have skeletons, did. This meant necromancers could summon skeletal mobs from anything they killed, once. They couldn't summon skeletal mobs from the bodies of their dead mobs.
