I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Great Demon

Although Song Jian had killed the Wolf Spider Demon, the poisoning effect on his body had not disappeared. Every five seconds, Song Jian would be as stiff as a stone for three seconds.

If he were still in battle, such a state would be enough for the Wolf Spider Demon to kill Song Jian three or four times, without giving him a chance to take any medicine to recover.

Finally, after enduring the thirty-second poisoning, Song Jian took out a piece of roasted meat and sat down to slowly replenish his lost Vitality Points.

“Never let the Wolf Spider Demon’s venom touch you!” Song Jian secretly reminded himself.

It was only a level 40 elite BOSS, and with Song Jian’s strength, he should have been able to hunt it down in a crushing manner. However, he didn’t expect almost having to give away his Enemy of Death God skill here, which made him secretly cautious.

Picking up the three blue-quality pieces of equipment and materials dropped by the BOSS, Song Jian curled his lips. The level 40 elite BOSS had only dropped items worth no more than 30,000 Doomsday Coins, which was quite stingy.

“But the Experience Points are quite generous!” Song Jian glanced at his Experience Points, and finally, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Experience Points gained from a level 40 elite BOSS were equal to more than a dozen ordinary monsters of the same level. Moreover, Song Jian had leveled up by killing the higher-level Wolf Spider Demon, which greatly increased his experience bar.

As he continued to move forward, the temple ruins in the belly of the mountain were vast. All the monsters here were elite BOSSes, and there were more than one type of demon. Up to now, Song Jian had encountered both Flame Demons and Wolf Spider Demons.

But soon, Song Jian saw the Goat-faced Demon and the Cerberus Demon;

As its name implied, the Goat-faced Demon had a goat’s head and a burly body, and the pieces of bulging muscles on its body contained explosive power.

This was the only monster that Song Jian had seen capable of surpassing his strength attribute since he gained first-order Combat Power. The Bone Shield he had released was shattered with a single blow by the Goat-faced Demon BOSS, and if it hadn’t been for Song Jian’s use of the Soul Wander skill in the end, he might not have been a match for this Goat-faced Demon with his powerful skill effects and attack power.

As for the Cerberus Demon, it looked exactly like the three-headed dog that guarded the gates of Hell in legends. A huge body, three ferocious demonic dog heads, and Abyssal Flames burning on its limbs and back. The scorching magma flowed through the cracks on the surface of its body like spider webs, making it appear less like a living creature and more like a puppet golem.

Both of these demons failed to charm Song Jian. The Goat-faced Demon could directly shatter the Bone Shield, and the Cerberus Demon could spew flames, venom, and frost from its three heads. Even if Song Jian had used all the shield skills provided by the Bloody Ring and the Transformation Orb, he wouldn’t have lasted long enough to use the Abyss Intimidation skill.

“Damn, if only my battle pets could fight and stall for ten seconds, it would be too easy!” Song Jian secretly thought. At that moment, he suddenly remembered that he still had a Sword Shadow Clone skill, which, although not as powerful as his main body, could effectively confuse opponents.

Just as Song Jian felt a bit annoyed and regretful about not thinking of this skill earlier, he finally encountered the fifth kind of demon—a Great Demon, wearing a cloak and wielding a scythe, looking like the legendary Death God!

The Great Demon’s damage was extremely high, and it could also cast teleportation skills. Less than two seconds after being intimidated, it teleported directly in front of Song Jian, raised its scythe, and slashed at him.

The Bone Shield only withstood three hits from the Great Demon before it shattered, and a black blade of light flashed. Song Jian was actually cut in half by its attack.

However, the Great Demon was puzzled because it had clearly killed its target, but the Abyss Intimidation spell was still echoing in its ears.

“An illusion!” The Great Demon’s face changed dramatically. It could feel a tremendous threat enveloping it, and as its eyes turned blood-red and it rushed towards Song Jian’s real body, an Abyssal Slave seal suddenly branded its brow.

With a shrill scream, the Great Demon’s body suddenly burst into intense flames. The flames consumed its body, and it disappeared in an instant. But in less than a second, the Great Demon reappeared, clutching its head and rolling on the ground covered in debris.

Not long after, this Great Demon BOSS finally stopped, as if it had resigned to its fate. It walked towards Song Jian, fell to one knee in front of him, and said in the Abyssal language, “Master!”

The Great Demon’s hoarse voice was like rubbing a handful of sand in its throat, making Song Jian frown. But when he saw the demon’s attributes clearly, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, feeling relieved.

This Great Demon’s attributes were extremely powerful. Not only did it have incredible attack power and teleportation skills, it also had a passive ability called Fatal Blow. Although it couldn’t instant-kill any creature like the Undead Knight, it had a certain chance to trigger triple damage.

As long as it wasn’t a BOSS, ordinary monsters being hit with triple damage by the Great Demon’s powerful attack would be instantly killed. In practice, this Fatal Blow wasn’t much different from the Undead Knight’s ability.@@novelbin@@

Most importantly, the trigger rate of the Great Demon’s Fatal Blow was much higher than that of the Undead Knight—15%, which already made Song Jian very satisfied.

“If I can recruit twelve Great Demons, then when attacking together, the triggering probability of this passive ability will be extremely high. It’s the perfect weapon against players!” Song Jian thought to himself.

With the addition of the first Great Demon, the efficiency of Song Jian’s grinding increased significantly. Soon, he successively charmed eleven more Great Demons, forming a team of Great Demons that began sweeping through all the monsters in the temple ruins.

More than an hour later, Song Jian’s level had increased by one. With his current level, leveling up meant grinding over half a month of same-level monsters. However, in the temple ruins, his efficiency had increased more than tenfold.

Upon reaching level thirty-eight, Song Jian added the new skill point to his core skill, Immortal Sword Body. The now ninth-level Immortal Sword Body provided a significant increase in attributes and duration. Clearly, level nine was not the limit for the Immortal Sword Body skill—it could still be upgraded even further.

The higher the quality of the skill, the higher its level limit. Just like the Soul Wander skill, its level limit was twelve. Song Jian estimated that the Immortal Sword Body’s level limit was at least the same as Soul Wander, if not higher.
