Chapter 182 Overwriting Bugs
Before the action, Lu Yao repeatedly asked Salina and repeatedly evaluated the combat effectiveness of the cursed insect.
Salina said: "That cursed insect is called the Overwrite Bug. It is not good at direct combat, but its ability is very difficult to deal with."
"It can create another me, and that me has abilities comparable to mine. The only weakness is that it doesn't last long."
"The cursed insect is tough and good at protracted battles. I can't defeat it in a short period of time. If I'm dragged into a stalemate, I'll be at a disadvantage."
"In addition, it has another ability, which is to merge its body with the surroundings. It is like the first layer of the abyss, which is actually completely covered by its body. It can see through every move inside."
"Finally, it's the characteristics of the curse insects themselves. They have strong immunity to the damage or effects of the fire of faith, and usually only suffer half of the effects."
Lu Yao remembered it silently.
The three abilities of the cursed insect: faith damage reduced by half, replication, and fusion.
When Salina encounters such an opponent, her advantages of high burst and high movement speed are restrained, and she is dragged into a tug-of-war of consumption by the cursed insects, and ends up falling into a disadvantage.
After clarifying the basic situation of the enemy, Lu Yao mobilized the copy team and officially set out.
The units participating in the strategy of the first level of cursed insects are: Blood Knight, Salina, Isabel, and Snowman.
Baishen went to the Treetop City, Philus stayed in Saniro, and the Deep Sea Lord continued to patrol the sea. Someone was also needed outside to keep an eye on and maintain order.
Lu Yao opened the portal and the copy team entered the abyss.
Some zombies were born in the first layer of the abyss. Although their number was not large, the team wiped them out along the way.
Soon they arrived at the seal.
Isabel put everyone in the [Forest Sword] state in turn.
Lu Yao moved the mouse and began to unlock the seal.
Flames of faith fell from the chains and turned into the faith value in the upper right corner.
When all the flames disappeared, Lu Yao had gained 31,000 points of faith.
At this moment, the golden chains broke into pieces.
The black vortex at the back suddenly swelled up, and a white monster bulged out from it.
The monster had thick white hair, and looked like a giant worm or some kind of reptile. The white hair covered its entire body, and its feet could not be seen.
It has no ears or horns, and wears a red mask on its head. There are black lines on the forehead of the mask, below which are two big angry eyes, and below the eyes is a wide mouth with bared teeth.
[Cursed Insect LV92] is displayed above its head.
Lu Yao immediately called out the [True Vision Spell] to check.
…
[Curseworm LV92] Overwrite worm HP: 58375/58375 Mana: 14102/14102 Damage: 197 Defense: 181 Speed: 18 [Move and cast]
The price to pay for casting spells while on the move is slow speed.
[Multicast]
Can use spell abilities faster and more efficiently.
[Mystery of Life LV50]
Born with extremely high health. See through the secrets of life and use magic to construct additional life forms. After loss, it can be restored naturally or with spells and props.
[Cursed Insect]
The Fire of Faith only has 50% of its effect on it, and it has the ability to mobilize and store the Fire of Faith.
[Covering Secret LV10]
Control is achieved by gradually integrating with a certain individual or environment, and the coverage effect is related to the level of this ability.
【Copy Secret LV10】
Duplicate an identical individual and give it commands. The duration and degree of duplication are related to the level of the ability.
…
【Divine Character】: None.
【Divinity】: Crumbling (0).
【Divine Body】: Gods level.
…
As soon as the cursed insect appeared, the tyrant Salina took the lead and killed it with a bone sword.
She transformed into a moonlight sword, constantly shuttling back and forth to slash at the cursed insect's body, while not forgetting to remind others.
"Don't give it space to cast spells. You must suppress it the entire time, otherwise it will be very troublesome!"
Facing the cursed insect, Salina showed unprecedented concentration and caution.
The Blood Knight followed up with his sword without saying a word, and they had perfect tacit cooperation from the first time. The two of them always complemented each other in the gaps between each other's attacks, not giving the curse insects a chance to pull space.
The curseworm's normal attack method is ramming. It looks like an angry white bull, ramming back and forth between the Blood Knight and Salina.
Red damage numbers kept appearing above the heads of the three.
With the blessing of [Sword of the Forest], the Blood Knight's damage is increased to 195, and each attack can cause 14 points of damage to the cursed insect.
Salina's damage reached 347 points, and one sword could consume 166 points of the cursed insect's health.
Compared to these two extremely fast melee apostles, the Curseworm is at a great disadvantage in speed. Not only does it move slower, but its attack speed is also slow.
However, relying on its powerful panel values, it can still cause continuous health reduction to Salina and the Blood Knight.
Lu Yao was more concerned about the abilities of the cursed insect.
After a brief battle, two figures appeared around the cursed insect.
These two were exact replicas of the Blood Knight and the Tyrant. When fighting, their movements were not slow at all, and they were not much weaker than the two genuine Apostles.
Lu Yao clicked on one of the white copies.
…
[Copy LV83] Blood Knight Nevid
…
Their data can reach about 80% of the original, but they cannot replicate the special abilities of the original, such as the Blood Knight's [Enchantment]. But relying on their thick bodies, the copies are enough to hold back two apostles.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lu Yao noticed that the spellworm consumed about 2,000 mana points to cast [Copy Secret] twice. It can use this ability multiple times, and it is indeed good at fighting.
While trying to get rid of the carbon copy, Salina warned the Blood Knight: "Don't get entangled with these things. They will disappear after a while. There is no point in fighting them. You have to attack the curse insect itself."
With the tyrant's reminder, the Blood Knight changed his strategy.
He alone stopped two copies, allowing the Tyrant to unleash its burst damage and continue to kill the cursed insects.
Not long after, the carbon copy disappeared.
Lu Yao calculated the time and estimated that [Copy] could last about one and a half minutes.
At this time, Isabel in the air held the [Nature's Secret Language] and said, "My lord, [Spell Guessing] cannot guess the ability to restore the cursed insect, so deduction is not available."
Lu Yao felt a little regretful.
He also thought about letting Isabel learn some skills from the magic book.
These [Copy] and [Overwrite] are both very practical skills.
Since it doesn't work, then don't think about it anymore.
Kill the cursed insect directly.
Lu Yao was not in a hurry.
At first he was a little nervous. After all, according to the Tyrant Salina, the Curse Bug was a top monster that fed on gods and was not afraid of miracle bombings.
But when I looked at the panel, it was only 50% damage reduction, not immunity.
Lu Yao also tried it.
One bolt of lightning can just knock off 20 points of the cursed insect's health.
As long as he wanted, he could kill this cursed insect anytime and anywhere.
He now has less than 60,000 points of faith.
Including the 30,000 faiths gained from unlocking the seal, the net expenditure is only about 30,000.
Since he was sure to win against the cursed worm, he didn't plan to use Isabel's [Unstable Hat Trick]. If it turned out to be a reverse enhancement, it would be counterproductive.
Lu Yao just didn't want to waste too much faith power. He hoped that the apostles would work harder to reduce the curse insect's health as much as possible. No one knew whether killing the curse insect would pay off.
This is a long-term investment, in preparation for opening the second level of the abyss.
While Lu Yao was thinking, the Blood Knight had already killed two copies of the second batch.
Salina's moonlight sword kept circling the curse worm. The old enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and the red damage value on the head of the curse worm never stopped appearing.
The health of the Overwrite Worm has dropped to around 37,000 points.
Lu Yao yawned.
Okay, you guys play for a while longer, and if you can’t, I’ll take action again.
Just consider it as leveling.
There are no LV92 monsters outside for the two powerful apostles to practice with.
After a few seconds, Lu Yao realized something was wrong.
A state of [chaos] appeared above the head of Blood Knight Navid.
He and the third batch of carbon copies were still engaged in a meat-mincing battle.
However, Lu Yao clearly saw that there was an extra line of description in Navid's data panel.
…
【Covering】
Overwrite bug (6417/12544)
…
Zhuo! You're grabbing my apostle in front of me, right? Since you don't follow the rules of martial arts, then no one should play with you anymore.
Lu Yao reminded the tyrant to leave the battle, then clicked the mouse to select the target.
【Lightning】×1900!
Die for me!
