Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405

Du You finished setting up the Magic Array and kept watch over it, for fear of any accidents. Thus, the three people waited for most of the day until dusk, when the battle finally ended.

There weren’t many dark vines left surviving in the end. As for whether there were any other tier 6 Dark Vine Demon Emperors here, Du You didn’t bother to search, since he had already achieved his goal.

And whether this area would be safe, or whether the Swamp Dwarves would reside here in the future, it no longer concerned him.

Du You activated the Magic Array and placed a tier 6 Dark Element Stone inside. The Magic Array started operating, and strands of dark power began to converge. Simultaneously, the Death Gorilla scraped away the roots and vines of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor for the last time.

Under Du You’s command, the Death Gorilla threw the core of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor into the Magic Array.

Next, the Magic Array began to operate, enveloping the entire Magic Array in darkness. Du You could only provide Crystal Coins, and nothing else needed to be managed. But what Du You didn’t expect was that a large number of Crystal Coins were needed this time. Although it was nothing compared to the total number of Crystal Coins he had, it was still twice the amount Du You had calculated.

Pouring in several thousand Crystal Coins left Du You somewhat speechless. The living really are different from the dead.

That very night, just as Du You thought he had to continue adding Crystal Coins, the black Light Ball suddenly contracted, notifying Du You that the result was completed. "Finally, it’s done, let’s see what changes there are."

Du You casually completed the task of clearing out the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, and at this moment, the original Dark Vine Demon Emperor could be considered dead.

"Tch, seeds of the dark Magic vines, and a Summoning scroll, totally useless." Du You curled his lip and put the items away.

"It’s already quite good, after all, it was merely a tier 6 enemy," Lin Yucha consoled.

Du You commanded the Dark Vine Demon Emperor to come out. "Not bad at all, definitely lively in thought, at least much better than my other Summoned Beasts." Among his summoned beasts, only Xiaozi was more lively in thought than this fellow. Living and dead indeed differed; now that kind of thinking seemed to be enhanced, although not by much.

Du You took a closer look, the roots on the body of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor had completely disappeared, no, they should say the roots and vines had merged into one, possessing the same ability. Now the Dark Vine Demon Emperor could use its vines to directly pierce into its prey to absorb nutrients.

Unfortunately, after being controlled and transformed, doing so had become meaningless.

Additionally, the core of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor had also changed, originally it was a sphere, but now it was wrapped in a hard, gem-like protective layer. It looked like a beehive, composed of hexagonal pieces, very beautiful.

"Quickly open the panel, let us see his changes," Lin Yushi urged somewhat anxiously.

"Alright, alright, I’ll open it now, let’s see what abilities this guy has." Du You opened the panel.

Dark Vine Demon Emperor: Native dark plant, mutated. Needs 8 hours to be summoned again after death. (Level 56, 10 stars)

Skills: Rooting, Regeneration, Absorbing Vines, Dark Fog, Resilience, Life Absorption, Limb Reattachment, Parasitic Vines

Rooting: The root system takes root in the ground, water streams, or anywhere with energy, and it will quickly absorb energy.

Regeneration: The vine plant possesses great vitality; it can regenerate quickly after being damaged. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Absorbing Vines: Mutated vines created by the Dark Vine Demon Emperor can burst forth with powerful suction, gripping enemies firmly. Weaker enemies will be devoured, becoming nourishment to supplement the Dark Vine Demon Emperor’s strength.

Dark Fog: The vines carry a highly toxic mist with abilities such as toxicity, paralysis, hallucination, and weakness. The longer one stays in the mist, the more severe the effects.

Resilience: The vines of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor possess extreme toughness.

Life Absorption: Enemies entwined by the vines will have their life force absorbed, with their physical strength and Magic Power rapidly draining during the process.

Limb Reattachment: The vine plant has a formidable life force. As long as there is a section of the vine containing the original power that isn’t destroyed, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor can revive by using its absorption abilities, although each use consumes a large amount of reserved life force.

Parasitic Vines: Mutated vines created by the Dark Vine Demon Emperor can parasitize on or within an enemy’s body and grow. During its growth, it absorbs a large amount of the enemy’s Magic Power and life force, ultimately replacing the enemy’s existence. After the enemy dies, their shell is controlled by the Parasitic Vines, becoming a puppet of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, aiding in its combat. Cooldown time: 24 hours.

It must be said that the various abilities of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor are indeed strong. Rooting can quickly absorb energy, which means there’s no need to replenish with one’s own Magic Power. Combined with Regeneration, this level of troublesome resilience has significantly increased.

Absorbing Vines are a special type of mutated vine produced by the Dark Vine Demon Emperor; Du You recalls the method used by some dark Magic Vines to hold enemies previously, which seems to be this. This method prevents enemies from escaping and is even more effective.

As for Resilience, it means that the vines, which are already tough, become even tougher and harder to break. Dark Fog is the same type of toxin used before, and now Du You understands that it’s not just a toxin but also has a range of special effects. Strictly speaking, this skill is similar to a Domain Skill, which is very powerful.

It’s a pity that it was previously countered by the Undead and the Demon Extermination Spirit, so it didn’t show its full effect, but that’s not to say it’s ineffective.

As for Life Absorption, it’s an incredible skill that rapidly weakens the vitality and physical strength of captured enemies, quickly depriving them of their ability to resist. This, along with previous abilities, is part of a series of complementary skills.

These abilities together mean that even if there are more than a dozen tier-6 powerhouses under control at the same time, it’s likely to be no problem.

Limb Reattachment is a very powerful ability, making the Dark Vine Demon Emperor very difficult to kill. Coupled with my own Summon Revival ability, this creature can survive even strong attacks without being easily killed.

This ability has eliminated the last weakness of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor. Even if the core itself is completely shattered, it can use a large amount of life force to recover in a short time and regenerate a new core—very powerful.

The last ability, Parasitic Vines, is the one used previously to create an army. It also creates a type of mutated vine, but the effect is different as it can turn other beings into its puppets.

However, this kind of puppet requires a period of growth and control to fully form; it cannot be established quickly, so the most cost-effective use of corpses is for my own purposes. Puppets themselves are not very flexible, very stiff, and their combat power is not very strong, furthermore, they can’t be taken to other worlds. But this is in comparison to my own summoning capabilities. If considered alone, this is a very strong ability.
