Super God of War Chapter 427 - Devil's Rain of Spears and Combo Attack Technique

Clang—

The Devil's Scaly Armor broke along the sound and turned into ash. The removal of the first scale was very smooth, the Devil's Sprint effect was not triggered as the Scaly Armor was destroyed in an instant. In addition, the three Shield Specialists were attracting aggro, so the Boss did not deal damage to the others.

-3,849!

-4,028!

The damage dealt by the Boss was astonishing. If the Health Points and Defense of the three Shield Specialists weren't top-tier, and that Bu Yi, being an Ascetic Priest, hadn't enhanced them with Power Word Shield, which increased the upper limit of their Health bar, then three normal Shield Specialists would need at least 10 Healers to be able to take the Boss' powerful damage!

However, if it were really so, then the damage output would definitely be lacking. The two oppositions—healing and damage output—were an unsolvable problem, which each member had to face on their own to increase their strength.

Destroying the Scaly Armor was an extremely difficult task where its difficulty could be compared to that of shooting the bullseye with a dart! Also, everyone had to accurately hit the target, and there could be no mistakes.

Although there was default correction by the system, it still required extremely high skills and good cooperation. That was the reason why Lin Jie had ordered his teammates to go offline to rest, or else, many people would become dizzy and make mistakes halfway through the destruction of Scaly Armor.

Just at that moment, the Boss suddenly let out a roar and threw the Long Spear in his hand violently!

"Retreat three steps and continue attacking!"

Everyone followed Lin Jie's command and took three steps back calmly. They then stopped retreating and continued attacking. The Boss' attacking method was very simple: before his Scaly Armor broke, there would only be normal attacks and "Devil's Throw".

[Devil's Throw]: When you throw the Devil's Spear, 150% AOE damage is dealt to the target and units around the target. Cooldown time is 60 seconds. If you retrieve the Devil's Spear, then the cooldown time will be refreshed.

The New Age was a game that aimed to be as realistic as possible. Skills such as throwing all had the special feature of only being able to be used once again after picking up the weapon. After the Boss lost his Devil's Spear, his attack was still astounding, but his Attack Speed was half as fast as before, so the pressure on the Shield Specialists was instantly reduced.

Lin Jie's eye lit up as he rushed towards the Devil's Spear. The combo of Army Obliteration after Shield Cut, which landed on the Devil's Spear, made it tremble and actually seemed to be disappearing.

-2,738!

-1,827!

-1,830!

-3,625!

-1,800!

After equipping the Devil's Wrist Guard and Bloodsweeping Cloak, Lin Jie's Attack increased yet again.

Lin Jie keenly grabbed that instant where the shaft of the Devil's Spear wobbled and immediately used the technique of the combo in Enraged Mode. Pieces of the Devil's Spear fell all over the ground after being attacked by Lin Jie, and blood could be seen oozing out, transforming into Lin Jie's Attack Power and Health Points.

Boom—

The Devil's Spear was broken into two by Lin Jie!

The Devil's Scaly Armor could be destroyed by destroying each scale one by one, so of course, the Devil's Spear could too! That was an obscure hint by the system. If the players had a set mindset and didn't know how to think flexibly, then they would never be able to think of such a method.

After the Devil's Spear was broken, the Boss would need 10 minutes to gather it again, and in that period of time, the attributes enhanced by the Devil's Spear would disappear.

"Alright! Now the pressure is lesser." Mixed Breathless took a look at the health, bar which fluctuated like a roller coaster, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure on the Healing jobs was also instantly decreased by half.

Lin Jie's Holy Light Winged Armor flapped its wings, and the remaining energy of the Devil's Spear was instantly absorbed inside. After being infused into the third wing, it had become the nourishment for the Holy Light Winged Armor.

'It is a shame that the Scaly Armor is too close to the Boss, once it is destroyed, it will be swallowed by the Devil himself, or else who knows how fast my Holy Light Winged Armor can evolve.' Lin Jie licked his lips, and as his Holy Light Winged Armor shook, he swung his Broken Blade yet again and started to destroy the Devil's Scaly Armor!

Cling-Clang! Cling-Clang!

The scales on the Devil's Scaly Armor were gradually destroyed, and the dark-purplish skin within was exposed. The difficulty of destroying the Scaly Armor also decreased as the number of scales reduced.

As the final scale was destroyed, the Boss' form was finally completely revealed. The first stage, which was tested the most on accuracy, was finally cleared!

"Childe, quickly use Hunter's Mark!"

"Devil Clone!"

The Boss bellowed as his body was split into six clones, each of them perfectly inherited all of the Boss' attributes!

Devil•Varvis' second skill: Devil Clone. The Boss would be split into six clones, and players had only one chance to attack. If they accurately hit the correct body, then the other clones would disappear, and the second stage would be cleared. Or else, the clones would be materialized, and besides the original Devil, the others would all trigger the "clone" attribute where each attack would cause the target to produce an additional clone.

Simply speaking, if one did not accurately hit the original Devil, then there would only be more and more clones. Of course, there was also a limit for the number of clones, so as long as the team's MT was able to tank the damage, then it would be possible to make use of the Boss' clones instead.

The method to find the real body was simple, just let a Hunter use Hunter's Mark beforehand. Now, the fifth Devil's head had a mark that represented its identity.

"Breathless, prepare Mass Taunt! The others stop for now." Lin Jie activated Flame Boost and swung his blade towards the five clones! Naturally, those five were not the original Devil, so they all split into two when attacked and were ready to pounce onto everyone! Lin Jie's attack did not end, but he continued to attack vigorously, further increasing the number of clones. After 10 seconds, the whole room was filled with the Devil's clones.

Dumb Fox was shocked, and he shouted, "So many Bosses? What are you doing Lone Wolf, are you wiping us out?"

However, in the next few seconds, he was rendered speechless! Mixed Breathless activated Mass Taunt and attracted all the damage onto himself—a big wave of "-1" damage values popped up!

That's right, that was the special feature of the clone skill: Besides the original Devil, every time the clone split, the new clones only had 50% attributes of the original clone. After Lin Jie's attacks, which were on purpose, the clones split again and again. Thus, in the end, these clones' attributes were naturally at their worst!

"There are two ways to clear the second stage, first is to find its original copy and fight with it. The second one is to destroy all the clones, and the Boss will also receive damage. Although the Boss' Devil Clone could create six Bosses, as long as we make use of the special feature and weaken their attributes, then they will be much easier to deal with," shouted Lin Jie in a low voice. "Fat Cattle, Wantless, use AOE magic spells to bombard them! Thunderstorm!"

The whole sky was filled with lightning that struck down! The ground, walls, and ceiling were filled with lightning snakes slithering around. The power of Thunderstorm was completely revealed!

Fat Cattle and Wantless also unleashed their respective powerful AOE magic spells. In the blink of an eye, lightning, Arcane Magic, and flames enveloped the whole space. The many clones were completely torn to shreds amongst the few rounds of bombardment.

-200,000!

When all the clones died, a huge damage figure popped up from the Boss' head, and with a snort, he flew into the sky in rage, entering the third stage!

The Boss could float in mid-air in the third stage and throw Devil's Spear down unlimitedly, dealing damage to players on the ground. He was also in the Immune state. The only way to deal damage to him was to reflect the Devil's Spear through attacks!

"Devil's Rain of Spear!"

The Devil's Spears descended as if they were raindrops in a heavy shower—it was really like throwing bombs, which exploded everywhere. Lost Camel's pet was just nicely hit by the Devil's Spear, and it pierced through his pet.

-5,867!

"Mixed Breathless, Inksnow, and The Heavenly Shield use your shields to reflect the Long Spears. As for the others, try to survive!" shouted Lin Jie.

To reflect the Devil's Spear, one must aim the weapon towards the tip of the spear to be able to reflect it, the requirements of the one's accuracy were too high. However, Shield Specialists' weapons were shields, so the surface area of contact was large, reflecting the spears should not be a difficult task.

"Shield Light!" Mixed Breathless roared loudly as he used his shield to reflect the spears. A Devil's Spear was knocked into mid-air and dealt 5,000 points of damage to the Boss.

Inksnow and The Heavenly Shield also followed! This stage was to deal as much damage as possible under the precondition of ensuring the safety of the players. The Devil's Rain of Spears would end 30 minutes later, so how much damage was dealt in that period of time completely depended on the abilities of the team.

The final Boss only had five stages, so if it was not killed in five stages, then it would activate a skill that would destroy the whole temple and directly wipe out the team with Map Kill. If they did not try their best to deal damage during the five stages, then the chances of them being wiped out would increase quite a bit.

Boom! Bang! Boom—

The Devil's Spear pierced down but changed direction and shot up again, stabbing into the Boss' body!

The parts of the Devil's Spear that exploded and dropped down were also all absorbed by Lin Jie's Holy Light Winged Armor. The Holy Light Winged Armor could purify the filthy evil energy and absorb Dark Undeads to grow. The Devil's Spears were great nourishment to the Holy Light Winged Armor.

Besides Star Kill, everyone dodged left and right, trying to avoid the spears with all their might. They knew that it was not the time for them to parade their abilities as they had to ensure their survival, only then could they possibly clear the dungeon.

"Backstab!" Star Kill suddenly unleashed his powers, he activated Rush, and his daggers slashed so quick only afterimages could be seen. The daggers were aimed at the tips of the spears, instantly pulling back the dagger once it touched the spear, and the Devil's Spear flew in the opposite direction.

The sounds of metal clashing were endless as wherever the dark figure went, the Devil's Spear all pierced towards the Devil, and the numbers of consecutive strikes kept on popping up on Star Kill's head…

'That guy, he's actually practicing his Combo Attack technique?'

Lin Jie's eyes lit up as he was inspired by Star Kill's actions. He immediately activated Wild Charge, and with a sweep of his Broken Blade, the Long Spear was knocked backward!

Two spears, three spears! Lin Jie used the Combo Attack technique into battling and those spears, weren't they just like the actions of target units moving backward? Only finding the best suitable target in the shortest amount of time and landing the attack in the most accurate place could the spear be reflected!

In that instant, Lin Jie felt as if Combo Attack was not so difficult as the spears descending had their trajectories fixed, unlike people's trajectories that were ever-changing. Through the training by the spears, he started to figure out the trajectory of attacks when battling with players.

Once grasping the trajectory of the spears, he would be able to draw parallels from inference and apply it to people!

Lin Jie's combo attacks increased rapidly, his biggest weakness in his previous life was secretly made up for at this moment! In the blink of an eye, he had actually chased up to Star Kill!

One should know that Star Kill's job was a Bandit, so he relied heavily on Combo Attacks and the explosion of strength to survive. On the other hand, Lin Jie was a Berserker, and his Combo Attack could actually reach such a level!

As the number of consecutive strikes increased, blood gathered and entered Lin Jie's body, he had a unique rhythm in which going over 10 consecutive strikes was a piece of cake! However, when the combo reached 30, he had reached his bottleneck.

"Combo Attack? Combo Attack?" Lin Jie's eyes lit up, and he used his Broken Blade to consecutively slash four times.

"Army Obliteration!"

Clink! Clink! Clink! Clink!

Four slashes were released! They hit the spears yet again, and Lin Jie's consecutive strikes increased greatly to 34!

Ding~

—'Your Combo Attack has reached over 30. Congratulations, you have made an accomplishment [Combo Attack Talent]. Your Strength has increased by 3 points.'
