Chapter 577 - Queen of Thorns•Shadow Succubus

Chapter 577: Queen of Thorns•Shadow Succubus

The battle was still ongoing in the City of Light. After getting the reward of defending the siege, many players invited their friends to fight together. The number of people in the city was growing, and more people started to act in their own way. This affected the systematic flow of the defense.
This siege was like help from the system to pull the monster towards the players. All they needed to do was to use skills and get the loot.
Thus, many players joined the defense!
Lin Jie was in charge of the East Gate, where there was the least number of normal players. The reason was very simple. Whenever someone tried to slack off, Lin Jie would let them be cannon fodder and get killed by the monsters. Thus, no one was afraid to be there.
As time passed, the second wave of monsters was cleared!
“Now, it’s the main force.” Lin Jie frowned as he looked forward. According to Qiu Yuan, the next wave would be ancient Undead creatures! Although their stats were just average, they had the knowledge of ancient skills and were very powerful.
Ding~
—’System announcement: Queen of Thorns•Shadow Succubus is leading an army of Garden Fear Devils on the way!’
“Garden Fear Devils! Holy Paladins and Warriors fall back, Druids use Oil, Ice Mages uses Ice Seal!” Lin Jie’s instruction was out in a second.
Garden Fear Devils were a mutant of Fear Devils. Its body was connected by 10 Piranha Plants. It could use Devour and instakill a player if their health points fell below a certain threshold. It had a huge body, and thus not affected by any slowing skills. It had an AOE attack and dealt 300% of damage to the city wall. Although the City of Light had a fortified wall, Garden Fear Devils could rip a hole in it in 10 minutes.
However, fire was Garden Fear Devils’ weakness. That applied to all Plant-type monsters.
However, small fires did not have any effect. Only fire with a decent scale could hurt it! Fat Cattle’s Fire Rain was a good example.
The group immediately carried out the instruction even though they did not understand the intention behind it. This was how much they trusted Lin Jie!
Oil was the basic skill of a Druid. It could create a pool of black oil on the ground and reduce Movement Speed on it by 20%. Every skill level increased the reduction by 5% until Level 16, which changed the effect to Binding instead.
Right now, this skill was useless!
Hundreds of Druids channeled the skill, and in less than three seconds, there was a lake of black oil on the ground.
“Ice Mages, Frost Nova! Freeze the oil!” Lin Jie gave new instructions. The oil froze instantly. Oil could only last for 10 seconds, but now it was frozen—it could last up to 10 minutes! That was the combined effect of different skills. Of course, when the oil caused a slowing effect, it would go back to the original timing.
After setting up the iced oil, Lin Jie led the team back within the Magic Blasting Tower’s range.
“What is Lone Wolf up to?”
“Not sure. Is he trying to trap the Garden Fear Devils with Oil?”
“I’ve seen others killing Garden Fear Devils by dragging them into a swamp. But black oil…”
Some Supreme Tribe members were not sure what Lin Jie was doing. Brotherhood, on the other hand, had absolute trust in their leader.
Kaboom— Kaboom—
The ground shook! The Garden Fear Devils advanced towards them like a giant tree. It had a gigantic green trunk as its body, and there were flowers on it. Right in the middle of the biggest flower was a huge eyeball. This was the Garden Fear Devil!
[Garden Fear Devils] (Elites)
Level: 60
Health Points: 260,000
Attack: 1,029-1,858
Defense: 800
Special Feature: Giants, able to devour corpses. (It can devour dead bodies and recover 15% of MaxHP)
Many Garden Fear Devils rushed up to the team!
In the center of the enemy, an attractive lady sat on the shoulder of one of the Garden Fear Devils. She was Queen of Thorns•Shadow Succubus. She scanned the players from above and threw some meat pieces towards the City of Light.
Garden Fear Devils entered Enraged Mode, and their Movement Speed increased by 30%.
Kacha—
The gigantic body stepped on the iced oil and crushed them immediately. They lost their balance and fell into the disgusting oil. There were bubbling sounds as they sank deeper!
Soon, another one fell into the oil and another one… Their Movement Speed was decreased, and when they struggled, the oil was splattered all over their bodies.
“Magic Blasting Tower, Fire Explosion spell!” instructed Lin Jie.
Booom!
Thousands of fireballs were launched from the towers and flew into the sky in projectile motion and landed on the Fear Devils.
Fire Explosion!
Garden Fear Devils were lighted by the flame in an instant, and the fire soon engulfed them.
-1,929!-1,837!2,946!
…
The damage was very high, showing that black oil was really useful on Garden Fear Devils!
Lin Jie raised his Broken Blade and shouted, “Kill them all!”
“Let’s go!” Supreme Tribe’s players all had trust in Lone Wolf now. He used a simple skill combination and dealt such an incredible strike to the Garden Fear Devils, some even dead because of the fire.
“Damn! It’s Dragon Grass! High-Grade medicine. It’s worth 10 coins!” Some players got the loot and shouted in excitement. Soon everyone was attracted by the loots. Garden Fear Devils were formed entirely by plants, so it was not strange for them to drop medicine.
Lin Jie had his eyes locked on Shadow Succubus. She did not make a single movement up till now—there must be something she had up her sleeves. How could she watch it as though it did not concern her at all?
Shadow Succubus sensed Lin Jie’s look and looked at Lin Jie smilingly.
She showed no hostility.
Lin Jie was not sure why she was even here in the first place.
“You wanna kill the Boss?” Qiu Yuan lifted her spear and stared at Shadow Succubus. “That’s her!”
“She?” Lin Jie was stunned.
“Yes. After we obtained the Book of the Undead Age from Skyworm Valley, she appeared out of nowhere and tried to kill me. If this little boy did not have escape skills, I would be dead,” explained Qiu Yuan. She nudged on Zi Mo and said, “Send me up there. I’m getting my revenge!”
Zi Mo nodded and used his Space Magic•Teleport!
Lin Jie’s eyes went blank for a moment, and he was on the Garden Fear Devil’s hand now! Space Magic was indeed very powerful, and it was one of the strongest magic on this island. But it cost too much mana, and not everyone could use it.
“Codename Lone Wolf? This little girl… Oh, we met before at the Skyworm Valley.” Shadow Succubus smiled. “Hey, I’m Shadow Succubus, nice to meet you.”
Qiu Yuan said arrogantly, “Are you begging for your life now? No way!”
“Begging for my life?” Shadow Succubus paused for a moment and looked at Qiu Yuan lovingly. “Behave yourself, will you? I’ll come back to you.”
“Codename Lone Wolf, huh? Good, it reminds me of someone…” Shadow Succubus said to herself. “I think you know us very well. We are the members of China’s team, the backbone of E-Sports now. For the past hundreds of years, we had been supporting the entire industry!”
Qiu Yuan twitched her lips. “And in the end, working your ass off for someone else?”
“That’s a bit awkward.” Shadow Succubus replied, “Honestly, I do not understand why you don’t wanna join us and fight for China side by side. Do you not want to honor? Do you have any idea how many people are begging for this chance?”
Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, “Not interested! I’m a selfish person, and I only do things that benefit me. For example, killing you sounds good.”
“How can people like you, who have no sense of national pride, have obtained your current status? I’m confused!” Shadow Succubus shook her head. “We fight for our country! We are honorable! We are selfless! Don’t you see that? Why fight against us? Why can’t you just hand over your Broken Blade and Book of the Age? It’s all for the greater good!”
Lin Jie scoffed and said, “For the greater good? What a lame excuse. Is that why we need to sacrifice what is rightfully ours? Let me put this straight. Who do you think you are to be lecturing me?”
