Seemingly surprised that the thugs he had hired were so easily defeated, Duriel, frustrated by his thwarted plan, helplessly brandished his pliers.
Liu Nian, who was in the distance, was afflicted by two debuff spells, Sacrifice and Corruption, and would take damage every three seconds.
Sacrifice: Ignite the target, causing them to take fire damage every three seconds for fifteen seconds.
Corruption: Curses the target, causing them to take poison damage every three seconds for thirty seconds.
Fortunately, he had a mana shield, so these two debuff spells only consumed his mana.
This back-and-forth battle caused Duriel's maximum health to be reduced again by Lamasus's Plague Aura, and in a short while, its health dropped to [amount missing].
Although the decline was relatively slow, it was still not a level of health that Liu Nian could withstand!
However, he no longer needed to engage in a tug-of-war with it, because head coach Long Fang and his team of bacteria came to meet him.
After receiving Raven's note, Long Fang pondered for a while and then decided to come and find out what was going on.
There's no need to investigate now; the culprit is right in front of us.
Ordinary Cindan soldiers are no match for Duriel, but this time the force that came was a cavalry unit and a crossbowman unit.
A platoon of musketeers and a platoon of lancers.
Seeing that the main character had arrived, Liu Nian decisively ordered the summoned creatures to withdraw, so as to leave them strategic depth.
After the musketeers formed their ranks, they decisively raised their guns and fired.
With its extremely long range and powerful armor-piercing capabilities, coupled with Liu Nian's defense reduction effect, a volley of fire left Duriel's upper body riddled with holes, and blood kept oozing from the wounds like a small stream.
Dureil, in pain, decisively abandoned his pursuit of Liu Nian and charged towards the direction of Commander Long Fang.
As the crazed Duriel approached, Long Fang smiled contemptuously: "Have them take their positions, let's establish a base first."
Liu Nian wasn't beside him and didn't understand what this meant, but right after Long Fang gave the order, a low rumble of thunder came from behind him.
"Thump thump thump thump thump." The sound came from afar and grew closer, stirring people's hearts.
After the thunder subsided, heavy objects continued to fall from the sky, striking Duriel's massive body with pinpoint accuracy.
Duriel's body instantly exploded with flowers, and the burning flames ignited it.
It was only when Liu Nian saw this that he realized the sound he had just heard must have been the roar of artillery.
Unexpectedly, their side possessed such a powerful weapon. This was not Liu Nian's fault; there were forbidden areas within the mushroom camp that were not for ordinary people to enter.
Relying on its ranged units, the Dragons adopted a defensive stance, clearly aiming to deplete Duriel's health.
It was clear that Duriel was also suffering from the shelling; it twisted its body restlessly, looking somewhat troubled.
If we retreat now, not only will that dark mage interfere with us, but those cavalry will also easily catch up with us.
If they didn't retreat, with Liu Nian slowing them down, Durell would have been subjected to countless artillery shells on his way forward.
The once-hard shell was blasted open by the cannon fire, revealing the fragile flesh inside. The musketeer didn't care about its hesitation and fired another salvo after reloading.
As expected of elite archers, Duriel has already lost more than 10,000 health points in these few rounds of attacks.
If it weren't for its thick hide, it would have been wiped out long ago after these few rounds of attacks.
Beat the dog while it was down, Liu Nian kept using bone spears to whittle down its health from the side, while Tiffany used bone walls to create obstacles in front of it.
We can stall for as long as we can, since we have the initiative now.
Without any help, Duriel could only launch a charge. The artillery emplacements posed a significant threat, and he needed to break through the troops in front of him and prioritize eliminating those artillery positions.
Even if we can't destroy the artillery position, we should make them think twice. As long as we can get to their position, we can threaten the artillerymen.
It has never hated the slowing effect as much as it does now; a distance that could have been closed with a single charge has been dragged out for several minutes.
Taking advantage of its large size, it smashed through another bone wall. As Liu Nian saw it gradually approaching Long Fang's position, he decisively pulled out a metal grenade.
After pulling the pin, he threw it onto Duriel's path. Duriel's attention was entirely focused on the gunners' positions ahead, and before he knew it, the grenade exploded at his feet.
The powerful impact paralyzed it, but while it could paralyze others for a few seconds, it could only paralyze it for one second.
However, this one second of delay was enough, and a new round of shelling began to unleash its terrifying power.
After Duriel recovered from its paralysis, the artillery fire once again covered it.
Painful howls spilled from its mouth, and the self-proclaimed King of Pain was plunged into deep suffering.
Seeing that the opportunity was too good to pass up, Liu Nian seized the chance to activate the ability of his left eye and see if he could defeat it instantly.
It's not like a card game; Liu Nian always felt that even instant-death effects have a damage cap.
Otherwise, staring directly at a god to death would be too overpowered, wouldn't it?
Duriel's sin value is so high that it doesn't need the Judgment effect bonus. As the judgment takes effect, it is engulfed in flames and then targeted by the Judge's Eye.
[The Judge's Gaze has been successfully activated. The target unit's health is too high to be directly killed.]
[Correction: Deals damage equal to 20% of its maximum health.]
A blood-red number of - points of health floated above Duriel's head. Before it could recover from the shelling, it was hit again, and the successive blows brought it to the brink of collapse.
Liu Nian himself was also suffering. Duriel's soul was too powerful, and he also suffered a certain degree of backlash.
It's just a legendary weapon, and it's obviously much less impressive in the face of a god, but at least we were able to find out that.
The road ahead will be even more difficult, so it will be beneficial for him to understand these rules as soon as possible.
The dizziness in my head was very intense, and the use of the legendary weapon might have some adverse effects on me.
However, although he was upset, he had teammates.
Duriel had no teammates, and his body was riddled with shells, leaving almost no intact skin.
Taking advantage of your weakness, after one salvo, a new round of artillery fire roared in.
Surrounded by flames, Duriel never stood up again.
[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully defeating Duriel, the Lord of Pain, and gaining 200,000 experience points.]
As we all know, NPCs do not participate in sharing experience points, so all the experience points in Duriel were divided between Liu Nian and Tiffany.
Not only did he gain a massive amount of experience points, Liu Nian also happily accepted the cards on the ground.
Commander Long Fang walked over with a smile and said warmly, "You've done another great service this time."
After he finished speaking, he called on the others to defuse the danger posed by the portal.
"Not at all," Liu Nian replied modestly, bowing her head.
Most of the damage came from the artillery barrage; I was just holding it back.
"I don't know what to do with this body?" Liu Nian asked, posing a question crucial to his own advancement.
“Staying here is indeed a hassle, but curfew is coming soon, and some night thugs will come to help,” Long Fang said casually.
Upon hearing that Duriel's body would not be cremated, Liu Nian felt relieved and repeatedly praised the commander's wisdom.
After exchanging words for a while, the portal was completely closed, and Longfang summoned the Jun team back.
Liu Nian accompanied them, saying they were going to City B to deal with the remaining monsters.
Long Fang nodded in agreement without asking any further questions, and told him to report to the camp the next day, as he had a new mission to assign him.
