Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

"Holy crap! So many mutated monsters! How come there are so many!?"

"Demons! It's the demons! The demon army has arrived!"

"Help! I don't want to lose a level... I'm almost level 40, and this is two levels' worth of experience points..."

...

Originally, the players' lines were unbreakable under the onslaught of the demonized monster army, and they could even advance with the players' cooperation.

After all, although the attributes of the demonized monsters are strong, they don't have many skills and their attack methods are simple, so they are relatively easy to kill. However, all of this changed after the appearance of the demon race!

The demonic monsters in Ironstone City are called "Water Demons." Their skills are similar to those of water mages; they can manipulate water elements to attack enemies.

Compared to the skills of a water mage, the skills of this water demon are clearly much more powerful.

Coupled with their overwhelming level advantage, hundreds of water demons, controlling nearly 20,000 demonized monsters, actually managed to force more than 30,000 players into a retreat.

Even with countless priests providing buffs and healing, the shield warriors in the front row couldn't withstand the water demon's wide-range magic attacks. Even the priests who were healing were caught in the water demon's spells, resulting in a large number of deaths and injuries.

Due to their low health, the priest players suffered more casualties than the shield warriors!

If the priest gets close enough to heal the shield warrior, he will be covered by the water demon's magic. If he doesn't get close, the shield warrior won't be able to withstand the attack without the priest's healing and will also die.

No matter what choice you make, you're going to die anyway.

This situation has put the player base in a dilemma.

As for killing demons, that's simply impossible.

Because the demons have a longer attack range than the players, they can attack the players' front row, but the players can only attack the demonized monsters and have no chance of encountering the three or four hundred water demons.

The battlefield on the left.

As the situation grew increasingly dire, Ba Dao's expression grew ever more gloomy.

"How come there are so many mutated monsters all of a sudden! Before, there were only a little over ten thousand, but now there are over twenty thousand! If this continues for a few more days, won't it reach thirty or forty thousand?!"

"And these water demons, only a handful had recovered from their weakness before, but now nearly one-tenth of them have overcome their weakness and their strength has greatly increased! If all these water demons recover from their weakness, then... then Ironstone City..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Ba Dao felt a chill run through his body, and his heartbeat slowed down considerably.

"No! We absolutely cannot let this happen! We must win this battle!"

"Team One! Team Two! Follow me and charge in from the right flank! Slay those water demons!"

At his command, Ba Dao led an elite squad of dozens of men to break through to the right.

With his epic hidden class, a full set of level 40 silver equipment, and the elite members of his team, reaching the Water Demon's position shouldn't be too difficult.

Behind them is a large group of players. As soon as they arrive, the players behind them will also take the opportunity to rush over.

Once these water demons are dead, the mutated monsters will be nothing more than easy prey, unable to stop the players' attacks at all.

"Raging Blade Slashes!!"

Ba Dao swung his greatsword wildly, each strike unleashing a wide blade of energy that shot straight at the demonized monster in front of him, each strike dealing six to seven thousand damage.

He slashed six times, instantly reducing dozens of monsters around him to near-death.

"Thunder Sword Technique!"

With a single strike, a demonized wolf was slain.

"Brothers, kill them! The water demons' skills have long cooldowns, so as long as we're fast enough, we'll definitely kill them! Every player who dies will receive a reward of five thousand coins! Don't be afraid, kill them!!"

Led by Ba Dao, the players of the Ba Dao Alliance charged forward with incredible ferocity, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Losing one level of experience for nothing is certainly undesirable, but if it can be exchanged for five thousand coins, then that's a different story.

Especially for ordinary players, they can only earn a few hundred or a thousand yuan a month at most in the game, and sometimes they even have to invest some of it if they are unlucky.

These days, you can earn a month's salary just by dying once. Only a fool wouldn't do that.

"Kill them!"

"You demon scum, I'm here! Attack me now! I need to make money!!"

"Come and hit me then!"

"..."

Under the players' frenzied charge, the battle situation, which was initially somewhat disadvantageous, began to slowly tilt in their favor.

Seeing this, Badao felt heartbroken about losing tens of millions, but if he could wipe out the demon race, it would all be worth it.

If the demons gain power, the entire Ironstone City will suffer.

If Ironstone City is gone, then his so-called leader of the Tyrant Blade Alliance is nothing but bullshit.

In order to eradicate the demon race, it is not a problem to make greater sacrifices.

Anyway, he has made a lot of money during this period, and his assets are already close to 100 million, so he can still come up with that money.

"Humans..."

Just as Ba Dao was overjoyed, thinking that they could take this opportunity to defeat the demon army and then completely annihilate the demons,

A deep, deafening sound rang in his ears, like a thunderclap, leaving him stunned in place.

On the left side of the battlefield, the remaining six or seven thousand players all looked up at the sky, including Ba Dao, who immediately looked up as well.

At this moment, the once clear sky had become overcast, and a pale blue figure appeared in mid-air, floating quietly.

"That...that is..."

"It's the Water Demon General! The Water Demon General has recovered from his weakened state!!"

Some people in the crowd recognized Shui Moshuai and immediately screamed in surprise upon seeing this familiar figure.

In mid-air, the Water Demon General raised his hands, and a surge of blue-black energy flowed in his hands before he shot the energy fiercely into the sky.

"boom!"

Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky, and the next second, drops of pale blue rain fell.

"Clatter~"

A drop of rain fell on Ba Dao's forehead, causing him to subconsciously reach out and touch it.

Corrosion-1

[Affected by the Water Demon General's "Rain of Corrosion," Defense -1, Magic Defense -1.]

"Hmm? Corrosion damage? Reduces both defenses?"

Before he could react, the rain in the sky began to intensify, and the raindrops changed from a drizzle to large, bean-sized drops.

Corrosion-1

Corrosion-1

Corrosion-1

...

[Affected by the Water Demon General's "Rain of Corrosion," Defense -1, Magic Defense -1.]

...

With each raindrop that falls, a -1 corrosion damage number will appear above the player's head.

It doesn't seem like much, and it might even seem a bit low, considering that players regenerate more than that per second.

but!

The raindrops in the sky were incredibly dense, and the area affected by the rain was enormous, covering at least five or six kilometers.

Every second, dozens or even hundreds of raindrops fall on the player, meaning that the player suffers dozens or even hundreds of points of corrosive damage every second.

That would be fine. If it were just that, as long as there are enough priests and enough health potions, the players wouldn't be unable to withstand this amount of damage.

The problem is that, in addition to the corrosive damage, this "Rain of Corrosion" also has a debuff that reduces both physical and magical defense, and it's an infinitely stacking debuff!

Based on a rainfall rate of tens of drops per second, it would only take tens of seconds for a player's dual defenses to be reduced to 0.

At that time, let alone fighting against hundreds of demons, even ordinary demonized monsters will deal extremely high damage to players.

If this continues, the player will undoubtedly lose!
