Chapter 334 Undead Elf
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Although it was quite embarrassing that a swampman was quietly allowed inside his residence, the Pyrocrystal Cannon that Tyler Meredith had unearthed from the high elf ruins was quite powerful.
Stretching out from beneath ground, its barrel appeared to extend over thirty meters and consisted of over a hundred spiral silver metallic tubes. Each barrel was inscribed with elven arcane text, and it has a complex beauty in appearance only, even if one couldn’t have known that it was a weapon.
After burning off Illum crystals-a material that breaks the hearts of the Players, electric bolts began to spark between the silver metallic barrels.
Even so, those were not actually electric bolts. They were actually energy masses, compressed and focused into arcane radiance.
And when the sparking bolts reached a certain number, the entire cannon shone in violent white light. Hence, a silver beam-a photon ray was fired out the ‘mouth of the barrel’ of those hundreds of tubes!
Indeed, it was neither the most commonly see straight-line laser beams or a solid weapon, but an artillery strike that directly blows up the enemy with bursting photon ray…
Right now, the goal of the Pyrocrystal Cannon was to shoot off the outer shin of the Tunnel Eye Serpent!
The photon ray that was fired through the application of some unknown principle easily drowned the Tunney Eye Serpent, and on the surface, it was obvious that the monster’s body was being disintegrated by photons.
It was worth mentioning that the monster was able to take the full brunt of the Players’ Colored Skills without taking so much as a scratch, its HP bar never once appearing!
Didn’t that mean the single cannon strike was several times more powerful than the first-rate Players’ Colored Skills?
That was why one of the Players sneaked up beside the photon ray and put his hand into it.
“Oh, wow! This thing is so powerful, the durability of my gauntlet is gone in an instant!” The idiot Player exclaimed, just as a strand of the photon ray coiled around his hand and rose up to his arm, consuming the entire Player and vaporizing him, and the thick, powerful ray only then reverted to calmness then. The other players were left in awe at the sight of it as well. “You’re gone too…”
Naturally, the Player was already blabbering away in the chatroom with horrible timing, holding off against ten others by himself as the forum bustled with noise and excitement.
Nonetheless, after someone had tested the ray with their pig hands, the other players understood that the photon ray was quite the tough cookie, and therefore instinctively kept their distance.
Even if they could all come back to live, there wouldn’t want to die accidentally since it costs them EXP.
And when the light faded, the barrel tubes of the Pyrocrystal Cannon had turned from its silver metallic silver to red, having clearly overloaded and couldn’t be used for a while.
Even so, the true form of the Tunnel Eye Serpent was revealed to all. Chunks of Illum crystals were hidden beneath the protection of its skin of stone and mud, and it might be inappropriate to still call it the Tunnel Eye Serpent now—at the moment, that monster was no different from an eastern dragon which body was composed of crystals and precious stones!
At the same time, the HP bar that the Players had anticipated for a long time appeared!
Indeed, Edward’s prolonged confusion was promptly relieved. “I see, that’s why it’s called an Illum crystal lifeform. The mud and rock skin it had over its body was all fake from the very beginning! The bits of Illum crystals exposed is where the true form was!”
That was why its HP bar couldn’t be seen at all before—they weren’t looking at its true form.
And now that its outer ‘skin’ had been shredded off by the photon ray, its true form was utterly exposed before them, which was the reason why the HP bar showed up now!
Of course, a body being hidden does not necessarily mean its HP bar would never be seen, because there were occasions where Players could find an enemy thanks to their hovering name, even if they were adept at hiding. But considering that this was a Bossfight, the unseen name was probably a hint from the God of Games!
Edward earnestly praised the God of Games inwardly at that very thought. He truly was the God of Games!
But in contrast, the Players were acting much more practically, and greeted the Tunnel Eye Snake with barrages of every kind of skill as if it cost nothing.
And yet, they soon noticed something that upset them very much. “No way, it’s still so tough! Our attacks only knock off one HP, not to mention that its HP bar is so freaking long that it might well be unaffected!”
They could have taken their time to grind the monster down if it had been far away from the city of Crookes. Even so, it was almost at the outskirts, not to mention that the evacuation organized by Simba and other weaker Players were in complete, with many yet to leave the city itself.
“Is there a way to lure it away?” Joe couldn’t help asking
“It won’t be that simple.” Gou Dan shook his head.
It was not as if the Players had not tried the simple tactic that is diversion. Regrettably, however, the Players just couldn’t tell why the monster was rushing towards the city relentlessly like a machine, just as it was immune from Taunt—which was why simple tactics like a diversion never worked.
And in the critical moment, it was still Eleena who took the reins and directly casted a massive holy barrier. The Tunnel Eye Serpent hence crashed headlong onto the barrier of light, its advance stopped by sheer force!
Until now, Eleena was the only Player who had stopped its advance.
Be that as it may, her barrier was already fracturing all over after the Tunnel Eye Serpent knocked into it twice. It clearly wouldn’t be stopped for too long.
“There’s no other way! Everyone, give up on the ramparts-Tidecallers, quickly build a second perimeter with ice walls but be prepared to retreat too! Try to hold it down in a city district where most has evacuated, and wear it down!”
In the end, as Edward determined that the damage which the Players could inflict was limited before the Tunnel Eye Snake actually reached the city walls, he promptly decided to wait until it entered the city, after of which they would use the buildings to fight it.
And yet, just when the Players gave up on the first perimeter and were withdrawing all their forces to the second perimeter, something unbelievable happened.
“Oh, no. The Tunnel Eye Serpent is heading towards someone who hadn’t flee the city!” The sharp-eyed Gou Dan shouted.
“Joe, take it…” Edward was about to issue another command when he sensed that something wasn’t right. “Hold on, that thing…”
That person was standing in the middle of a road, and wasn’t even trying to flee!
And from its muddled gaze, rotted body as well as the turbid magical power palpating from its body, that person was obviously an undead!
“An undead… elf?” Joe exclaimed in surprise. “This is the first time I’ve seen one!”
Its level was quite high too!
And now, the undead reared its head and hissed at the Tunnel Eye Serpent just then, as if to warn the latter to come no further.
Even so, that was meaningless—the Tunnel Eye Serpent had no brain in the first place, and even fools would understand that it was going to keep advancing as it wished. But in the next split second, the ground outside Crookes rumbled and split apart as a frightening colossal head rose from beneath the earth, biting and snapping the rampaging Tunnel Eye Serpent in two!
