Chapter 428: Chapter 428
Along the way, with Lin Yushi’s explosive scattering, Du You’s party practically transformed into an archery team.
A burst of Holy Light Arrow Array, demons up ahead were suppressed, their bodies starting to smoke. An attack bathed in arrow shadow came at them next, creating numerous explosions after strategically impacting the ground—it was as if the field was being ploughed. The assault came from all directions, not a single demon could escape.
With a volley of arrows flying out, all the demons were swept away. Those who could survive were not to be underestimated. The ones who could endure this onslaught were only second-tier demons. And those second-tier demons were their targets. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
With the continuous hunt, more and more red crystal coins were accumulating in Du You’s possession. Gradually, he had the idea to convert another skill. But before Du You could make his move, Lin Yucha had already found her target.
"Master, that one suits me well, let me take care of it."
Du You looked at the gigantic demonic ghost in front of him. At tier two, level 12, it had a particularly large belly and highly concentrated poison. It could spray poison from a distance, which was difficult for the usual second-tier demons to withstand.
"Are you sure? This creature uses poison; its abilities are mostly related to it."
"Yes, I’m sure. The demon’s poison is very strong. If I can obtain such poison to fuse with my Sniper skill, the destructive power of my skill will surely increase. Not many have a strong poison resistance."
Du You knew if he objected, Lin Yucha would definitely give up, but he didn’t want to only train yes-men.
Having one’s own ideas can form a unique combat style according to one’s wishes. It maximizes one’s combat potential. Thinking of this, Du You nodded in agreement.
Lin Yucha’s eyes filled with a touch of moved light, as she was genuinely worried.
Du You always wanted to train Lin Yucha into a long-range archer, this much Lin Yucha knew too. But in Du You’s eyes, the best long-range attacks were purely attack-based archers, and not just an increase in other attributes.
However, Lin Yucha had chosen strong poison, and Du You didn’t object.
From a distance, Lin Yucha sent a single Sniper shot, causing the distant demonic ghost to get injured in the shoulder.
The demonic ghost wanted to get closer after being attacked but, unfortunately, the range of its attack couldn’t match the distance of the Sniper skill. Then, a kiting tactic began.
Du You couldn’t attack the demonic ghost, but he could provide assistance. As long as he controlled the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs to keep a distance, it would be okay. The demonic ghost stood no chance in terms of speed. Moreover, Du You and Lin Yushi had cleared the surrounding demons, only one target remained, which made it much easier to deal with.
Five minutes later, after being hit by countless arrows, the demonic ghost was ultimately exhausted to death.
Same as before, he released the Demon Extermination Power to melt and fuse, integrating his existing Sniper skill.
Deadly Poisonous Sniper: strikes from a long distance, range is doubled, attack power increases by (level*1), hit rate correction, accompanied by level+2 poisonous effect. (Level 11, 8 stars)
The poisonous effect was actually this strong, Du You himself could not help but be surprised. This is directly equivalent to a level+2 effect, and this strong poison is equivalent to a regular effect of Level 13.
Of course, this cannot be entirely accurate, as resistance to poison varies in strength. Facing a powerful poison resistance, the additional power of poison might be negligible. But for the majority who don’t have strong poison resistance, this poison was nothing short of a trump card.
Even if they weren’t killed instantly by a Sniper, the poison would make them lose their combat power, or even poison them to death very quickly.
At this moment, Lin Yucha has fully transformed into a mighty long-range killer.
The skills that both of them had before were at level 10, which was not very effective. Now that they have transformed it into a special-level 11 skill, the effect is absolutely incomparable to before. Again, when they face ordinary early second-tier demons, the two could even instant kill.
It’s only a single skill, but this one skill was powerful, so its effect was not that simple.
Meanwhile, Du You had collected a large amount of red crystal coins, and finally began to transform the first skill.
With the help of the Hellfire Cluster and a Dark Element Stone, Du You first set his sights on Ice-fire Explosion. He was in no need of attack or defense skills now. What was missing was a powerful trap type skill.
During the transformation, the Hellfire Cluster skill slowly melted, and Du You’s understanding of it gradually deepened. Under the power of a special force, his Ice-fire Explosion skill also gradually melted.
It didn’t immediately condense into a new skill, but under the effect of spiritual energy, it began to extract power from within, add new rules, and the spell runes also underwent strange changes.
Such a change, ordinary spellcasters could never achieve because they couldn’t maintain it for such a long time. If a spell was shattered, it would backlash. Only under the help of powerful spiritual energy could this be done. Only these special professionals like them could remodel skills .
Of course, to achieve this, the cost was not small. It consumed as many as 800 red crystal coins, and the whole skill was finally transformed.
Hellfire Thunder, that was the name of the new skill.
Hellfire Thunder: Summons a powerful Hellfire force under the ground. When a creature approaches, an explosion is automatically triggered. Range: 10 meters. Power gradually decreases from the center of the explosion. Lasts for 5 hours. (Level 11, 10 stars)
The energy attribute changed, and the duration was increased to 5 hours, much better than the previous 30 minutes. The range was still 10 meters, without change. He wasn’t sure how the actual effect would be.
Without thinking, Du You directly summoned one to try. Black flames gathered underground, and Du You felt that this power was not only from Hellfire Thunder, but his passive skill, Soul Devouring Demon Flame, also started, adding a surge of power.
When the demon arrived, a bang of black flame exploded. The unfortunate demon was instantly burned to ashes.
"It mainly uses the power of burning instead of the power of explosion. The fire can penetrate the inside, burning inside and out. It’s worthy of being Hellfire. Although it decreases consecutively, the extent of the decrease is significantly less. Even at the farthest range, it’s still half as powerful as at the center, which is much better compared to the 2-meter effective range before."
For the new skill, Du You got the hang of it very quickly. Whether it’s power or effect, it’s far beyond what he had before. Moreover, the power of the Hellfire was even more terrifying than the power generated by the combination of ice and fire elements before.
