Bang!
Bang!
[Fatal Shot]
Two bright silver bullets pierced the gray mist, striking the Elite Guard's head almost simultaneously.
The Elite Guard stumbled, losing nearly 7,000 health points, his health bar instantly dropping to near halfway.
Bang!
Bang!
Two consecutive shots, another [Fatal Shot]
Typically, skills have a cooldown and can't be used twice in a row, but after reaching Legendary rank, [Fatal Shot] was enhanced.
Previously, the silver-white pistol fired a single bullet with the skill effect, but now it fires six, a full magazine.
One bullet dealt over 3,000 damage. After five shots, the Elite Guard was reduced to a mere skin. One more shot would be enough to finish him off.
However, at the moment of death, the Elite Guard's jet-black heavy armor suddenly glowed with a dark light.
Skill activated, [Iron Guard]
Instantly, the dying Elite Guard, aided by this skill, gained immense damage reduction.
Skill activated, [Spinning Blood Blade]
After receiving damage reduction, the Elite Guard tugged at the iron chain, swung his axe, and attempted a powerful strike.
However, the Blood Lord was already at his peak strength at this point; how could he sit still and wait for death?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The black pistol fired three or two basic attacks, instantly breaking the damage reduction of [Iron Guard].
Then, with a flash of its form, it appeared behind the Elite Guard like a ghost.
Just as the blood-red axe flew out, a bright silver bullet accurately struck the Elite Guard's head.
Bang!
Kill the Fallen Guardian Elite [LV.9], gain +795 experience.
[Loot: 1 Necromancer Orb]
[Necromancer Orb]
[Quality: Rare]
[Effect: Each kill or assist grants 1 stack of [Whisper of the Dead]. Each stack of [Whisper of the Dead] provides a 5% bonus to all attributes.]
[Note: The Necromancer Orb's effect must be actively cast. Stacks are reset to 0 upon casting. The bonus to all attributes lasts for 1 minute.]
[Note: Stacks are reset to 0 if the wearer dies.]
Rare-grade Orb equipment!
Each kill or assist grants a 5% bonus to all attributes!
Unlike regular Orbs, the Necromancer Orb's effect requires active casting.
This means that even if you have 20 stacks and the bonus to all attributes reaches 100%, you won't gain the bonus if you don't actively cast it.
Furthermore, after casting, the stacks are reset to zero, and the bonus effect only lasts for one minute.
Gu Chen thought for a moment and decided to have the Nightmare Overlord equip the Necromancer Orb.
Firstly, the Nightmare Overlord can freely switch between dreams and reality, making it more survivable and less likely to die, which helps it accumulate higher stacks.
Secondly, the Nightmare Overlord's [Deep Dream] can deal area-of-effect continuous damage, which can be maximized within the one-minute duration of the orb's effect.
After equipping himself, the Blood Lord continued to forge ahead.
After passing through the courtyard and killing a group of guards, Gu Chen arrived at the main hall entrance.
Pushing open the two heavy doors, a tall figure shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared in the center of the main hall, next to the collapsed giant sculpture.
[Alien: Black Robe Butler - Elite]
[Level: LV.13]
[HP: 35,000]
[Attributes: Strength 125, Agility 127, Constitution 132, Spirit 135]
[Skill I: Gray Mist Curse]
[Skill II: Dark Invasion]
[Skill III: Damage Transfer]
It's still the Black Robe Butler, just a level up.
At level 13, his average four-dimensional attributes are 130, and his HP has soared to 35,000.
Although his skills haven't changed, his stature has become taller and more gloomy, and the Gray Mist Curse within the main hall has become more intense.
Gu Chen could sense that his weakened state had suppressed all of his attributes by 40%. If he fought in this state, his combat power would be halved.
Luckily, the Blood Lord had used a healing potion, granting him immunity to the Gray Mist Curse for ten minutes. Otherwise, fighting monsters in this weakened state would have been a complete failure.
At the same time, within the empty main hall, Fallen Guards spawned from all corners.
In a flash, over fifty tall, armored figures appeared around Gu Chen.
In the dream, Lin Yuan and the others saw countless guards everywhere, their scalps tingling.
"So many? The main hall wasn't like this last time!" Lin Qingqing frowned.
"I can't even count them. It's simply terrifying!" Su Ran said.
"We're in real trouble now," Wu Ziyi said with a serious expression.
"What should we do? With so many monsters, even with the Nightmare Overlord, there won't be enough!" Lin Yuan frantically cried.
In the difficult dungeon, the Black Robe Deacon was surrounded by only a dozen or so guards, the highest of which were only two level 5 guards.
But now, the number of guards has doubled, with the lowest being level 5, and there are also some level 7 and 8 guards.
You have to know that the Black Robe Deacon has the Damage Transfer skill!
These fifty-plus Fallen Guards aren't just thugs; they're over fifty health packs.
A level 5 guard has 2900 HP, a level 6 guard has 3500.
A level 7 guard has 4200 HP, and a level 8 guard has 5000!
Based on an average of 4000 HP per guard, the total HP of these guards combined is around 200,000!
In other words, the Black Robe Deacon's own HP is 35,000, and he comes with a 200,000 HP pack!
He's a blood cow!
No, not even a blood cow is that exaggerated; it's more like a blood bank!
"What should we do? With over 200,000 HP, won't the gun explode?" Lin Yuan asked worriedly.
"That's not the case."
A voice echoed in his ears, and Lin Yuan turned around to see that Gu Chen had also appeared in his dream.
"Old Gu, how did you get in?" Lin Yuan looked puzzled.
"The next battle will be chaotic, and I'm afraid of accidental injuries," Gu Chen said calmly.
The next battle will be chaotic?
After hearing Gu Chen's words, the four of them turned their heads.
The Vampire Lord clenched his five fingers, and five crimson rays of light shot out from his palms, instantly immersing themselves in the corpses of the guards outside the main hall.
The next second, the corpses opened their eyes, emitting an evil bloody glow, and slowly rose from the ground.
[Vampire Heritage: The Vampire Lord can consume his own health points to transform dead units into Vampire descendants.]
The Vampire Lord consumed 5,000 health points, transforming five corpses into Vampire Guards, and his health bars suddenly dropped to just above half health.
The Vampire Guards' levels remained the same as they had in life: three level 7, and two level 8.
The vampire guards arrived behind the Vampire Lord, their crimson eyes fixed on the Fallen Guards in all directions, their expressions bloodthirsty and brutal.
"Kill!"
The Vampire Lord softly uttered the word, and the vampire guards, armed with longswords or heavy axes, furiously charged into the group of guards ahead.
Strong physique and resilience were vampire instincts. In a normal confrontation, the vampire guards should have the upper hand.
However, under the influence of the Gray Mist Curse, the level 7 and 8 vampire guards could only kill the lowest level 5 guards first.
The Vampire Lord wasn't idle either, his gaze fixed on a level 8 guard attempting to attack him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A barrage of silver bullets whizzed like lightning, instantly piercing the level 8 guard.
[Kill a LV8 Fallen Guardian, +616 EXP]
The five vampire guards fought one against many, and the battle was fierce. Soon, the Fallen Guardians fell to the ground one by one.
