Inside the Devil's Lair.
Lin Xuan watched the picture in front of him and already knew what to do.
'It seems that the person who obtains the role of hunter, performs tasks similar to a videogame.'
'Get classes, talents, then fight monsters to level up.'
"The difference with online games is… the boss they need to defeat is a human who has acquired a demon king level status!"
In the picture Lin Xuan is observing,
A squad of four people, led by Wang Meng, began killing the monsters in the void crack plain.
First a single slime, then there's the goblins.
Each time a monster is killed, it gives the hunter experience points and a has a chance to drop equipment and skill books.
Lin Xuan observed the actions of Wang Meng's four men.
Lin Xuan is still concerned at the development of the hunter party,
After all…
When these four people have cleared 50% of the monsters in the Void Crack, Lin Xuan, as a demon, will go to the Void Crack and directly confront the other party!
"A bronze-level staff dropped?"
"This one dropped a piece of bronze-grade warrior armor."
"The pastor got a skill book, allowing him to heal groups…"
Hunter equipment is divided into bronze, silver, gold and so on.
These equipment and skills can also leave the void crack with the hunters and return to the overworld.
Other words!
After the Void Crack has developed… As long as they can leave alive, the hunters will have gained many items and equipment to use in the Overworld.
Meanwhile.
Lin Xuan observed the Demon Chat channel in the nearby area.
"Is anyone going to help me? these four hunters are so fierce that I can't beat them alone…"
[ "The slime demon is dead! ]
"Help! I was beaten by a crowd of hunters in the devil's lair, and I can't hold on any longer…"
[ "The Birdman Demon is dead! ]
...
Bad news kept coming.
It seems….
Being a demon is not necessarily a good thing!
In the Demon Channel, the chatter that once filled the channel with nonstop messages, has now quickly died out.
For Lin Xuan, he has to survive a one against four!
Although he is a demon king, the opponents are all humans who have obtained the identity of hunters and have the ability to cooperate with one another.
But,
With the form of a demon king, when he encounters a hunter, he can basically crush then.
He checked his skills….
——
[1. Fate Strikes] Every time you meet a hunter in a demon's lair or void rift, you will get 2 random buffs that last until the end of the battle.
——
This buff effect is Demon king grade!
Originally, when only a High Order Demon, this skill will only provide 1 random buff.
But after evolving to the Demon King….
The number of buffs doubled up!
Lin Xuan was still looking forward to this, and the buff effect of this Demon King level might even determine the direction of a battle.
——
[2. Eye of Destiny] can view the details of all the targets.
——
This skill allows Lin Xuan discover information about anybody. Whether they are hunter or a demon, Lin Xuan has the capabilities to find out himself.
Under the eyes of Lin Xuan…
There is no escape!
——
[3. Destiny Harvest] Wave the Sickle, to release the Destiny Sword Light, cause double weapon damage, cool down: 6 seconds.
Each time a hunter is killed with the Harvest of Destiny, a layer of "Reaper" status will be added to itself.
——
Each layer of the Reaper status allows Lin Xuan to receive a 100% final damage bonus that lasts until the end of the battle.
In the process of fighting with the hunter squad, as long as Lin Xuan kills one, the next will take even more damage than the last.
Finally, there is a "destiny release" skill.
This skill is not available to high-level Destiny Demons.
It was a new skill that Lin Xuan acquired when he evolved into a Demon King.
——
[4. Destiny Release] After release, you get 100% attack speed, 100% movement speed, and 10% health recovery per second. Lasts 5 seconds,
cool down: 60 seconds.
——
This skill will be Lin Xuan's Trump card.
Although there is no large-scale damage, the effect cannot be underestimated.
Not only does it give him the ghostly attack speed and movement speed, but it also provides a total recovery of 50% of his health.
In the Void Rift and the Demon Lair, Lin Xuan's identity as a demon is equivalent to the "BOSS" in the eyes of hunters!
Recovering 50% of its health every minute is completely unfair to hunters!
'Good value for the points spent'
'It is worthy of the strength of the Demon King.'
'Plus the Demon King-level companion weapon, the Scythe of Destiny…'
'A fate harvests down, and you can kill any hunter at low levels in a second!'
Lin Xuan was finally relieved.
After reading the skills, he had a clear understanding of his combat strength.
For Lin Xuan's 4 opponents, it's impossible to pose a threat to him.
And these skills of his, although not too anti-heavenly, would crush all the other demons.
In the early stages….
One more skill = one more combat power!
Really powerful skills will have to wait until he develops enough to acquire them.
~30 minutes later~
Under Lin Xuan's field of vision.
Wang Meng's hunting squad have almost killed %50 of the beasts.
This also means…
Lin Xuan will soon begin his first head-on confrontation with the hunters!
"Haha, boss, with this silver-level armor, I'm indestructible!"
The small fat man under Wang Meng's tutelage, laughed loudly.
After Wang Meng chose Faye, the little fat man chose a warrior as a tank.
And gained a C-level talent with 25% damage reduction. Just now, they killed an elite Goblin Mage on the Prairie, and it dropped a piece of silver Warrior armor.
After the little fat man received the armor, his power increased.
"Okay, it's up to you to distract the demon boss later."
"Come on, little chubby man!"
"The progress of the monster cleanup is at %45, fortunately we are about to hit level 2."
As they continue to clean up the monsters, all four of them were promoted to level 2 at the same time.
All of them unlocked a brand-new class skill as well, doing well to fuel their ego.
"I just checked, after killing the demon boss, it's guaranteed to drop a gold-level item."
"But, if the demon is strong, it will drop equipment and skill books beyond the gold level!"
Wang Meng's party are now very interested in destroying demons.
In their opinion….
Although they are not particularly powerful, they will certainly have no problem dealing with a level 1 demon, especially since they will fight 4 - 1.
And soon…
As the four of them took out an elite-level elemental slime, a silver-level "sapphire ring" dropped, usable only for priests.
The system prompt is finally coming!
——
[%50 of the void crack monsters have been cleared! The door to the Devil's Lair has appeared! ]
——
Meanwhile.
Lin Xuan's side also received a system prompt that the door leading from the Demon Lair to the Void Crack had appeared.
'This cataclysmic epoch…'
'It is a test of human nature!'
'If the demons don't go out and the hunters don't come in, neither will meet?'
'Then the hunters could develop undisturbed'
When the hunter enters the Void Rift, there are two ways to leave, the first is to kill the demons, and the second is to clean up the % of monsters required.
Fulfilling either of these conditions will generate a portal to the overworld of Earth.
It's just a pity!
Lin Xuan shook his head.
For hunters, the rewards of killing demon bosses are extremely high, and equipment and skill books are easy to get.
But for the demons…
If you want to develop, you must kill the hunters and protect the remaining monsters in the void cracks!
When the Hunters are defeated, the more demons remaining in the Void Rift, the more XP the Demon will gain.
So.
In theory, the two sides can coexist peacefully.
But in practice, this kind of coexistence is basically impossible to achieve.
Just like now.
Lin Xuan definitely wanted to kill those four hunters.
After all, killing a hunter earns you 1 Demon King's Point.
These Demon King Points can evolve any ability and power-up…
This is Lin Xuan's core development resource.
Even if Lin Xuan did not wish to kill, the hunters would break into his demon lair and try to destroy him.
After all, the rewards for destroying demons are too great!
For hunters, entering a void crack is equivalent to entering a dungeon.
Enter the quest and don't play the boss, that's unheard of.
Just do the side quest but not the main mission?
So.
This cataclysmic era seems to give people choices, but in fact they are not completely given.
The conflict between demons and hunters is almost inevitable.
From Lin Xuan's perspective, no one can guarantee that the next wave of hunters who come in to attack him will have no interest in killing demons…
If he were to deliberately let go of the four hunters, that would be the equivalent of giving free food just to starve yourself.
In the long run, he will just be wiped out by hunters.
'It's time to go out and get some experience'
Lin Xuan stood up slowly.
When the blue portal to the Void Crack appeared in his Demon Lair, he had no reason to shrink into the Demon Lair again.
Thereupon.
A figure of the Destiny Demon King, armed with a white scythe, half black and half white, stepped into the blue portal.
The next moment….
Lin Xuan's Demon King figure disappeared, immediately after that, the blue portal disappeared without a trace.
When Lin Xuan chose to go to the Void Rift, it allowed him to fight without any reserve for his life as he will revive back in the lair.
...
Wang Meng's four people were still slightly nervous staring at the blue portal in front of them.
Nothingness, depth. That's the path to the Devil's Lair.
"We might as well take the initiative to enter the demon lair and hit him by surprise!"
"That's right, maybe this demon is stupid and hasn't entered the lair yet"
"Then as long as we destroy the demon lair, we can get the reward of destroying the demon!"
Wang Meng's four men were eager to try.
That's right.
A mysterious figure half black and half white suddenly appeared in front of them!
The demon boss!
