Chapter 86: Wild Beast Season Day 9 (1) The Mastermind
There is no fire in the giant's eyes, nor does he have the fire-breathing skills that are common in other novels or movies, so it is easy to think that his weakness is in his eyes.
He had just figured out the interval between the two attacks. After stabilizing his body, Yu Luowei took advantage of the giant's next fire eruption to aim at the giant's eyes, concentrate his mental power, condense an ice dagger in his hand, and stab it into the giant's eyes.
But this giant's IQ seemed to be much higher than other monsters. The previous slow attack was just to confuse Yu Luowei. The moment she stabbed down, the flames in the giant's hand immediately attacked again without any buffer.
Yu Luowei quickly formed an ice shield in front of himself to resist, then used his spatial ability to move to the giant's eyes and stabbed the sword at his right eye.
The moment the flames made contact with the ice shield, a loud hissing sound erupted, and a white vapor filled the surrounding space. If Yu Luowei hadn't moved away in time, she would have easily been burned. However, in the end, Yu Luowei's magic was superior, completely resisting the flames.
At the beginning of the battle, Yu Luowei used her psychic powers and ability to cut through space, but they were useless against the Flame Giant, so she focused on using magic. Unexpectedly, in the critical moment, it was her space powers that saved her life.
Fortunately, the flames were only slightly cleverer, their weaknesses matching her predictions. Because her right eye had been blinded, the flames on the right side of her body dimmed slightly, and her movements slowed down considerably. However, the flames seemed even more powerful.
The Flame Giant's left and right hands fumbled around, seemingly trying to pull out a new weapon to enter Phase 2. Now, there was no longer a "transformation" rule, meaning he was invincible. He quickly took a few potions to replenish his mental and physical strength, then faced the massive ice wall surrounding the Flame Giant.
This attack was inspired by the collision of the giant's flames with her ice shield. The increased power of the flames melted more of the ice wall, but it was still far from enough to break through the entire barrier. Yu Luowei seized the opportunity and quickly solidified the remaining ice wall, creating an ice cage that trapped the giant.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, this ice cage would have been quite magnificent. But Yu Luowei didn't have time to admire it right now. After it was finished, she manipulated the surrounding ice wall to slowly shrink, attempting to extinguish the flames on the fire giant.
She also left two gaps in the giant's eyes. While the giant was trying hard to break the ice wall, Yu Luowei found the right opportunity and used her spatial ability again to make the giant's intact left eye appear, successfully destroying the giant.
After the battle, Yu Luowei's red gear was damaged to varying degrees; his coat and cape were completely unusable. It must have been burned when he got too close to the giant when he blinded his eyes. This was despite Yu Luowei dodging all attacks and his ice-based gear offering some resistance. It's easy to imagine how powerful the giant's attack was.
After resting for a while, Ma Tuan and Bang Bang, seeing the giant vanish, rushed over. From Ma Tuan and the chat, Yu Luowei learned that the monsters were already numerous and seemingly endless. Seconds after destroying one wave, another would appear in the same spot. They had to use the last buff of the Tree of Life and the Fire City Skill Card to persevere.
It wasn't until she almost defeated the giant that the monster stopped regenerating. Now it was in the final stages.
Some people had already returned to the city, so Yu Luowei did not stay. Her mental power was exhausted again. Except for the first time to record the location, the teleportation card did not require mental power to be used again, so she used it to teleport directly back to the base.
This time, he had to thank the Tree of Life. Because of its existence, Yu Luowei felt much better the second he stepped into the shelter. Combined with the comfort level, within five minutes, most of his mental strength had been restored.
Although the physical and mental fatigue remained, at least it didn't affect normal activities. Yu Luowei received today's ranking rewards as usual, and then checked on Lu Zhi's interrogation of the two people.
[Lu Zhi: These two are just subordinates of Black City—the city currently ranked second in the battle strength rankings and formerly number one in our district.] Their mission is to investigate the situation in other cities, or to disrupt them and make them disappear in the beast tide.
[Lu Zhi: However, it seems the city lord made a mistake when assigning the task. Based on the level of these two, they should have been in charge of the city at the bottom of the rankings. I don't know how they ended up here.]
Lu Zhi: According to what they said, no one has been willing to share any information about our city these past two days, and they haven't been able to cause any trouble. I used a lie detector to verify it, and it seems to be true. However, you still need to keep an eye on whether there are any people in the city who have been instigated.
Lu Zhi: Also, the intentions of Hood Schiller, the Lord of Black City, are worth considering. I suspect he may have obtained a skill card similar to inheritance. By destroying a city, he can gain all the abilities of the Lord. You should be careful.
Yu Luowei automatically supplemented the rest of the plan for Hood in her mind, which was that after inheriting enough skills, she would come to capture her North City and then unify the entire game?
In short, these two people exposed the other party's plan to her in advance, and also provided some preparation time. After thanking Lu Zhi, Yu Luowei went back to practicing magic.
Although there were no treasure chests rewarded for defeating bosses, there were still some related supplies. Yu Luowei obtained a flame-shaped stone. Following his previous experience, Yu Luowei, despite the late night, came to the Black Abyss Entrance Lake and absorbed the flame stone that had been soaked in the Black Abyss Entrance Lake in the same way.
After a sharp pain, her personal information showed that her fire magic had reached level seven:
[Name: Yu Luowei
Gender: Female
Age: 24 (49)
Level: 7 (?)
Constitution: 150/150
Attack: 300/300
Defense: 290/290
Speed: 295/295
Mental strength: 500 (5000/5000)
Luck: 7 (average 5)
Talents: Level 7 (?) Mutated Fire Magic, Level 7 (?) Mutated Ice Magic (unique)
Skills: Dao Sheng Yi, Lion Soul Flame Slash, Ice Prison, Snowflake Bomb
Equipment: None
The question mark after the level was a bit strange. Besides her, only the top 20 players on the battle power rankings had reached level seven, including Lu Zhi. After asking around for Lu Zhi's information, Yu Luowei learned that, based on her current level, she was at least twice as strong as the average level seven survivor. Naturally, she assumed that level seven was the highest in the game, but since she was stronger than the average level seven, she had this question mark.
Without rushing back, Yu Luowei casually grabbed two small monsters nearby and used his upgraded fire magic to deal with them. With just a spark, the two monsters were burned cleanly, leaving no ashes.
There were no beast tides at night, only undead monsters. Yu Luowei tried it a few times and found it was basically the same, so he went back outside the city.
Every night when the beast tide ended, the citizens would always spontaneously set some traps outside the city walls. Yu Luowei was almost caught in one of them. Back at the shelter, Ma Tuan was already fast asleep. After cleaning himself up a little, Yu Luowei also fell asleep.
Day nine of the season.
On the last day, the citizens were filled with a mixture of joy that the event was almost over, but also a fear that the monsters would surely become even stronger. However, today's beast tide arrived at a more normal time, not at sunrise, but at 10:00 AM.
Yu Luowei used a Thunder City Skill Card and ended the morning's battle with the citizens unharmed. According to her plan, today's three waves of beasts could just use one City Skill Card at a time.
The battle in the afternoon was beyond her expectations. First, someone posted a question in the channel:
[Yun Fei: Have monsters evolved so far? There are even humanoid monsters.]
Then the citizens in front were suddenly attacked by a skill that came out of nowhere, and many of them were injured at the beginning.
Glancing through the telescope, Yu Luowei confirmed that another city had launched an attack on North City. Based on last night's intelligence, it was most likely Black City. The beast tide wouldn't attack citizens or animals outside of the target city, so these people had blended in and launched their vicious attacks.
After sending this message to the others, Yu Luowei used the fire magic she had just upgraded last night to erect a wall of fire at the edge of the beast tide. This was a skill she had just mastered when fighting the first wave of beasts today. The attacking enemies were also blessed.
Her fire wall can not only burn monsters, but also melt some ranged attacks, catching the enemies off guard.
The other citizens also adjusted their attacks after realizing what was going on. No one who has survived until now is afraid to kill. Since the other side dared to cause trouble, it is no wonder that they killed them as monsters.
Now that he had a wall of fire, Yu Luowei used a wind-type city skill card to blow the flames bigger. Not only did he destroy the beast tide, but he also almost wiped out all the incoming enemies.
However, after all, they came suddenly, and despite timely response, several people were hit by the opponent's skill cards and lost their lives.
Although Yu Luowei had seen countless dead people both in the zombie world and in the game, this was the city she managed after all, and the loyalty of the dead was very high, so Yu Luowei still felt some rare sadness.
She promised the others that she would avenge them. As for the culprit, it was easy to identify—only the Black City had seen a sudden and significant drop in the number of people.
This group was likely the group Hood had originally planned to use to disrupt North City and gather intelligence. The system reported that there were three to four hundred bodies on the ground. Yu Luowei was certain that only two or three people had escaped.
