YM778.TV Chapter 421
Chapter 421: The Torture Abyss III
His claw ripped my back. I gritted my teeth, endured the excruciating pain through my back. Which was accompanied by an announcement.
[You have taken 531 physical damage.]
[Warning! You are bleeding.]
[Your HP will decrease by 1 point per second.]
[Armor’s durability – 1 point, 999/1000]
Even though the armor protected my back, that attack managed to pierce through it. But a second later, a dark aura covered it and the armor returned to its original state.
Due to that sudden attack, I flicked my wings, bringing my body up quickly to get out of their reach and used my Dark Healing to heal my wounds.
[Dark Healing has been used.]
[Your HP has restored 500 points.]
I never thought their gigantic body was just for show. Even with the armor, his attacks were even more fatal and painful than demons of their level. Even with their level far below mine, their defense and attack was another matter. Rather than fighting a demon of a lower level, I felt like I was fighting a demon of my level.
But then information from the book I read earlier crossed my head.
‘Oh sure. This is because of their size.’ Now I understood why Lord Damon asked me to check the books before I came to this place.
Size played a big role in dealing more damage to their opponents. The bigger the size, the bigger its attack and defense even if it was only a low-level demon. Besides, the power scale calculated the level ratio of each demon by comparing its body size and strength. In other words, every Gigantic Demon was bad news.
‘Look at the bright side, I can raise my level faster with this,’ I consoled myself after I realized how hellish this place was. But that didn’t mean I would go back. After all, I only needed to land one or two clean hits on their weak points to kill them.
I recast my Demonic Energy and Demonic Claw before I made a u-turn and glid at them again. This time my target was the Mutant.
His claws greeted my arrival but I maneuvered expertly, dodging him and flew to his back. The others immediately joined him to catch me or rather kill me. But before they could do so, I used my Wrath Kill and shattered the crystal in the back of his head in an instant.
[Critical hit!]
[You have hit a Foreign Mutant for 1643 HP. ]
As soon as he turned to ashes, I flicked my wings again, dodging the incoming attacks. Their roars and claws tried to reach me, coming at me non-stop. But I pushed through my speed limit and concentrated on avoiding them. Sometimes I used my Barrier to protect myself. Once I had the chance, I used either my Wrath Kill or my black lances to kill them.
Sometimes, I had to create my own opportunities by throwing my lances, striking them with my Hell Thunder or binding them with Dark Bounds, so I could attack their weakness more easily. Unfortunately, since they rarely used their skills, I couldn’t use my Deflection skill yet. My Silence was also not very useful for the same reason. Still, that was not an easy fight.
Minutes passed. My sweat dripped from my forehead to my chin as I put my concentration on this fight. The pain stung my whole body. Although not fatal, the several wounds that adorned my body showed how many times they had managed to land their attacks on me. I also didn’t know how many times I had used my Dark Healing. I never thought I, who was used to fighting hundreds of demons, could have such a hard time fighting low demons like them.
I swung my claws, using my Wrath Kill on the last demon in front of me.
[Critical hits!]
[You have hit a Great Centipede for 1643 HP. ]
[You have hit a Great Centipede for 1631 HP. ]
In an instant, he turned to ashes.
I landed and panted in exhaustion. A proud smile appeared on my lips for this small achievement. While this was not a smooth start, it was a good one. But then, I realized my system had not announced that my battle was over, which meant there were other demons around me.
The shaking ground and the rumbling sound made me realize they were getting closer. I turned to the origin of the sounds. Another batch of demons was already heading to my place. This time they were much more numerous and their types were more varied. In addition to the previous three types of demons, three other types had a level above them.
[Name: Obscene Boar]
[Level 49]
[HP: 1902/2131]
[DP: 89/149]
[Name: Hellish Bull]
[Level 53]
[HP: 1978/2924]
[DP: 145/191]
[Name: Mad Rabbit]
[Level 52]
[HP: 1831/2841]
[DP: 34/187]
Even if their name didn’t sound too scary, their appearance was much more than that. They looked like gigantic versions of the beasts’ failed mutations. Thorns and thick skin covered their bodies, signifying they were perfect killing weapons.
I took a deep breath to dispel my nervousness and recast my skills. My eyes and hands were fixed on the weakest demon among them, preparing to use my Energy Siphon skill once he entered my range.
‘Energy Siphon.’
[Energy Siphon initiated.]
[Target: Gigantic Worm Demon]
[Level 35]
[Energy Siphon is complete!]
But due to his low DP, it was not enough to fully refill mine. But at least it was good enough. Just like before, I lunged at them. But instead of my lances, I used my Dark Bound to bind them before I killed them one by one.
Unfortunately, due to their numbers and levels, the fight didn’t go well. Although I could kill some of them. Strike after strike landed on me and forced me to dodge and heal myself. Occasionally, I used my Energy Siphon since that battle drained my DP quickly.
But before my fight was over, another rumbling sound came from the other direction. As soon as my sight caught another batch of demons approaching me, I realized I was in big trouble.
