Chapter 42 The most perfect stealth is...
Ark searched several more times and confirmed that it had not found any other sentinels.
So he decisively used the Bone Shackles and Bone Spears in a double strike, killing the lazy little demon sentinel instantly.
thump!
The slight thud of the little demon falling to the ground naturally did not alert the demons inside the outpost.
After having the skeleton deliver the final blow, Ark quietly entered the outpost along the same path as before.
There were still no demons at the entrance hall, so Ark continued to choose the left corridor, preparing to deal with the group of lesser demons.
Upon reaching the end, Fang Zhou gripped his staff tightly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
Dozens of skeletons under his command smashed through the wooden door and rushed inside.
In an instant, Fangzhou had scanned the room.
On Normal difficulty, there are 17 Lesser Demons here, including 12 Lower Apprentices and 5 Mid-Apprentices, which is much stronger than on Easy difficulty.
However, Fangzhou was relieved, as there were no horned demons or demon children here.
He's just a simple little demon; he'll kill as many as they come.
Fangzhou first used a skeletal spear to kill the lesser demon blocking the doorway, tearing open a gap and allowing the skeleton army to rush into the room.
Then, he located the area where the lesser demons were most concentrated and rapidly waved his staff.
"A rain of arrows piercing bones!"
Necromantic magic coalesced into dozens of sharp bone arrows, which whistled as they shot towards the panicked lesser demons.
puff!puff!puff!
Amidst a series of sharp sounds as arrows pierced flesh, five lower-ranking apprentice demons were riddled with arrows, their bodies bleeding profusely.
Amid their wailing, dozens of arrows exploded a second time.
They fell to the ground and died instantly.
This newly developed area-of-effect skill did not disappoint Ark.
Although it consumed a lot of mental energy, it killed five lesser demons in a single move.
Although two lesser demons at the mid-level of apprentice level were not seriously injured due to their strong bodies and steel forks, the Ark had already achieved its goal of clearing the field.
Meanwhile, in the conference room, the instructors who were constantly monitoring the Ark were once again shocked by the [Bone Arrow Rain].
"This area-of-effect skill is amazing! Why hasn't Ark used it before?"
"Could he have just calculated that? In just a few minutes, his talent is terrifying!"
"It looks like a variant of the [Bone Spear] skill. The principle is simple, but it is really not easy to innovate in such a short time."
"Tsk tsk tsk, constantly reflecting on one's shortcomings and then making targeted improvements. Ark already possesses the essential elements of a strong player!"
Amid the instructors' chatter, Lu Hu grinned and gave Su Tiankuo a smug look.
Principal, you just said that Ark doesn't have any area-of-effect attacks, and he immediately came up with such a powerful area-of-effect skill.
You should stop being so stubborn in the future!
Su Tiankuo's face was ashen, pretending not to see Lu Hu's gaze, but his heart felt a tightness in his chest.
Fang Zhou is definitely incompatible with him. Doesn't he know how to give him some face?
......
In the simulated battlefield, the Ark plus 40 skeletons are surrounding and killing 12 lesser demons.
How could we lose when the skeletons are charging at us? Ark smiled confidently, the advantage was in my hands.
To conserve mental energy and prepare for the upcoming battle against the Horned Demon boss, Ark did not use [Bone Arrow Rain] again. Instead, it coordinated with the fierce skeleton army to pick off the lesser demons one by one.
A few minutes later, all 17 lesser demons were wiped out, while none of the 40 skeletons were injured.
Fangzhou led his skeleton army relentlessly toward the right-hand corridor.
Just like last time, as soon as I arrived at the door, a huge horned demon rushed out of the room.
This time, however, it was followed by two Abyss Demon Children at the mid-level of their apprenticeship.
Fang Zhou frowned.
It's that disgusting mage nemesis again; the difficulty has indeed increased significantly.
When the two demon children behind the horned demon saw the ark, they revealed ferocious smiles.
They pointed at the Ark, uttered demonic language, and immediately activated their magic-devouring abilities.
Having studied the Demon Compendium course under Instructor Lu Hu, Fang Zhou naturally knew how to decipher the Demon Child's innate abilities.
Simply obstructing the demon children's vision will prevent their magic-devouring abilities from taking effect.
Like a fish swimming, the Ark hid behind the dense army of skeletons and disappeared from the Demon Child's sight.
The diminutive demon child let out a few unpleasant curses, but there was nothing he could do.
Unable to unleash its Devouring Magic ability, the Demon Child was left with only the Blasphemy Ray, greatly reducing its threat to the Ark.
They brandished their obsidian orbs in a fit of rage, conjuring two blasphemous rays that shot towards the horned demon's charge.
Squeak! Squeak!
Amidst the piercing sound of corrosion, a skeleton was unlucky enough to be struck in the skull, its soul fire dissipated, and it collapsed to the ground.
The other skeleton had one of its arm bones corroded, greatly reducing its combat power.
Meanwhile, the enraged horned demon had already engaged the skeleton army in battle.
Under the overwhelming power of the horned demon and the occasional sneak attacks from the two demon children, the skeleton army quickly suffered casualties.
However, at the same time, several skeletons, under the Ark's command, bypassed the Horned Demon and rushed towards the fragile Abyss Child.
The two abyssal demon children exclaimed in surprise. One chose to unleash a blasphemous ray to confront the attack head-on, while the other turned and ran.
Unfortunately, the result was the same.
Hidden behind the skeleton army, the Ark had been keeping a close eye on the movements of these two mage nemesis.
He seized the opportunity and activated his skill immediately.
Skeletal Shackles!
The two demon children were tightly bound by chains formed from necromancy, and were subsequently engulfed by the skeleton army.
Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief after dealing with the two disgusting demon children.
Now we can unleash our full power, and victory is only a matter of time.
Just like on easy difficulty, fearless skeletons swarmed towards the lone horned demon from all directions.
After suffering the loss of 10 skeletons, Ark seized the opportunity to release the Bone Spear, which pierced directly through the horned demon's head.
Amidst a violent explosion, the horned demon fell to the ground unwillingly.
