A-grade magic scroll, Dark Devour: After killing an enemy, absorb the target's soul, granting yourself a 1% bonus to damage dealt, 1% damage reduction, and 1% increase in skill range. Lasts 12 hours, stackable up to 100 layers.
This thing, although priceless, but thinking that he had ten of something this valuable sitting in his backpack, Lin Mo instantly didn't feel bad about using it.
He and Ning Xi each took one.
Next, they entered the main phase.
Rustle! Rustle!
Strong-Maned Pig still thought himself invincible, wanting to show off his tall and mighty presence in front of Ah Li, he pulled several fire snakes at once.
The result was that under the siege of those fire snakes, a series of high damage numbers instantly popped up above his head.
-3254!
-3125!
-3333!
Even with the poison immunity from the Venom set and the 50% final damage reduction from his talent, the damage Strong-Maned Pig took was still considerable.
Clearly, the 5000 armor penetration aura of the Hall of King Chu Jiang was extremely punishing.
Under this armor-breaking aura, Strong-Maned Pig's 7650 defense was instantly reduced to 2650 in front of the fire snakes.
It was obvious he couldn't quite withstand the damage from fire snakes with over 7700 attack power.
Fortunately, Strong-Maned Pig himself was tough enough.
And with the extra shield from the SSS-grade Iron Body · Indestructible talent, even the focused attacks of a group of fire snakes didn't break even one-tenth of the shield on him.
It had to be said, Strong-Maned Pig was seriously durable.
As a tank, Lin Mo felt he could use him for a lifetime, no need to replace the frontline even in the late game.
So, with Strong-Maned Pig holding the front, Lin Mo and Ning Xi unleashed full firepower from the backline.
SSS-grade Frost · Extreme Grip!
SSS-grade Heaven-Slaying · Seven-Star Rapid Shot!
Tenfold Amplified A-grade Fireball!
Tenfold Amplified A-grade Ice Spike!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Under the devastating barrage from two SSS-grade talent users, several fire snakes surrounding Strong-Maned Pig were instantly killed.
After all, the armor-breaking aura of the Second Hall only affected Strong-Maned Pig.
As backline attackers, Lin Mo and Ning Xi wouldn't be hit by the fire snakes.
Even if their armor penetration stacked to 10,000, it wouldn't affect Lin Mo and Ning Xi's damage output.
Each time they killed a fire snake, they used Dark Devour once.
[Ding~ A-grade magic scroll Dark Devour effect activated: Damage +1%, Damage Reduction +1%, Skill Range +1%, lasts 12 hours. Current stacks: 1/100!]
[Ding~ A-grade magic scroll Dark Devour effect activated: Damage +1%, Damage Reduction +1%, Skill Range +1%, lasts 12 hours. Current stacks: 2/100!]
Strong-Maned Pig focused entirely on drawing aggro.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi focused entirely on dealing damage.
Naturally, Ah Li wasn't idle either.
After evolving to elite quality and gaining an exclusive skill and weapon, Ah Li's strength had clearly improved.
Locking onto a fire snake, she cast the white fox exclusive skill · Burning Heaven Art.
Buzz!
Instantly, the red flames on the fire snake turned dark gold!
Burning Heaven Art: Burns the enemy continuously for 10 seconds, automatically dealing damage equal to 50% of the talent effect every second.
After Ah Li advanced to elite quality, her talent [Heavenly Fire] was upgraded to: Whenever she deals damage, it additionally inflicts true damage equal to 2% of the target's maximum HP, capped at 30% of Ah Li's attack power.
So the moment Burning Heaven Art activated, a white true damage number popped up above the fire snake every second.
-784!
-784!
-784!
At the same time, Ah Li dashed toward the fire snake at extreme speed.
As the only divine pet on the server, Ah Li was incredibly intelligent.
While dodging the fire snake's [Fire Assault] skill, she leapt behind it and locked onto its vital point, launching a fierce attack.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Chain lethal hits!
Light-speed combos!
-3057!
-3057!
-3057! -3057 (combo)!
-3057! -3057 (combo)!
The damage per hit wasn't particularly high. But combined with her passive normal attack combo skill (Attack Speed +20%, and each normal attack has a 15% chance to trigger a combo), within just one second, Ah Li unleashed dozens of normal attacks at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Combined with the effect of her exclusive weapon, Heaven-Slaying Blade (each attack triggers an additional 50% of the talent effect), it was equivalent to every attack dealing 1.5 times the talent damage.
The fire snake's HP bar dropped rapidly.
It tried to counterattack Ah Li, but couldn't even touch her nimble figure.
Ah Li darted around right in front of it. All the while weaving in rapid attacks.
In just a few seconds, she solo-killed the fire snake.
Such terrifying killing power, even Strong-Maned Pig was stunned watching it.
Lin Mo couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah Li really is a tank killer."
You had to know: Ah Li's attack power was only a bit over 5200.
Under Qin Guang King's anti-penetration aura, she couldn't deal any armor-breaking damage at all, theoretically making it impossible for her to hurt the fire snake.
Yet she relied entirely on her extreme attack speed to maximize her talent's true damage effect, killing a fire snake that outclassed her in stats in five seconds without taking a hit.
And right now, Ah Li was only at elite quality.
It was hard to imagine how devastating her damage would be once she grew to ancient immortal grade.
"Strong-Maned Pig is amazing too!", While Lin Mo praised Ah Li, the quick-witted Ning Xi didn't forget to compliment Strong-Maned Pig as well.
Of course, her praise wasn't blind.
With the SSS-grade passive Bloodbath · Bronze Wall, restoring 1% of max HP per second, and Iron Armor · Indestructible granting a shield equal to 10% of defense every second.
Even without a healer, Strong-Maned Pig alone could withstand the attacks of several fire snakes without any issue.
Positioned as a tank, but in practice, he was playing both frontline and support roles at the same time.
Truly impressive.
So, the two of them, one fox, and one pig began their frenzied snake-slaying spree.
As the effect of the Dark Devour scroll kept stacking, the team's strength kept rising.
In less than an hour, after killing 100 fire snakes, the 100 uses of one Dark Devour scroll were fully consumed, and the buff stacks reached the maximum of 100.
Damage +100%!
Damage Reduction +100%!
Skill Range +100%!
Lasting twelve hours.
At this moment, with a single SSS-grade World-Destroying · Storm Arrow Rain from Lin Mo...
Double range!
Double damage!
It was pure devastation.
One ultimate wiped out dozens of fire snakes around Strong-Maned Pig instantly.
"As expected of an A-grade magic scroll."
Lin Mo exclaimed, "This level of power is really overwhelming."
It was worth mentioning: the scroll effect applied to pets.
So with just Lin Mo and Ning Xi using two Dark Devour scrolls.
Lin Mo, Ning Xi, Ah Li, and Strong-Maned Pig all gained the full 100-stack Devour buff.
Thus, with the enhancement of the A-grade magic scroll.
The team's speed in killing fire snakes more than doubled.
In just over two hours total, they successfully killed 500 fire snakes and cleared the Second Hall of Hall of Yama.
At the same time, with the abundant experience from killing monsters, Lin Mo and Strong-Maned Pig leveled up to 55.
Strong-Maned Pig's awakening moment had finally arrived.
Lin Mo took out a 5-star golden armor from his backpack:
Burst · Vajra Sacred Armor!
