Chapter 369 Beating up my teammates
The arcane lightning bombardment circle and Vientiane Garden in front are completely different levels of difficulty compared to a real high-level stalker.
A defensive array that automatically detects enemies.
Once permission is granted, it automatically expires.
It is equivalent to testing the qualifications for "tickets".
Vientiane Garden, if you don't find the trick to crack it, although it is difficult, it is not fatal.
The situation in the main building of the castle is different!
The difficulty suddenly rises.
The level of danger instantly soared to the point where one could lose one's life at any time.
The few remaining stalkers who initially explored to the west received a warning from Peter, telling them that a powerful level 4 stalker was hunting intruders in the castle, and asked them to avoid and hide.
But it didn't work.
Don't look at the strength of the stalker, which belongs to the sewer.
That's low level crappy Shadow Affiliate.
The powerful high-level stalkers are the real sharp blades in the shadows.
When hiding, there is no trace;
The moment he takes action, he kills with one blow!
The remaining stalkers in the castle were quickly captured from [stealth] one by one, and were killed one after another.
Wiping the neck is a metaphor.
The real situation is that the opponent should have used the stalker's third-level magic - [Dark Blade].
Like [Old Enemy], this is the beginning of a qualitative change in Rogue's abilities.
Facing enemies of the same level and below, [Dark Edge] ignores most protective measures and directly causes serious damage to the target itself.
Facing stronger targets, it can also produce a certain protective effect.
When this carefully prepared dangerous attack comes, as long as you don't dodge it, it's basically a dead end.
…
None of the six stalkers survived, and eventually all were sent to resurrection.
But their deaths were not without value.
At least a few important pieces of information were confirmed.
For example - the one who attacked them was indeed the old butler of the castle, Winnekes.
He is thin, with white hair, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose bridge, many wrinkles on his face, a straight waist, not hunched at all, and is wearing a black tuxedo-style outfit.
After sharing the description of the appearance he saw with Pei Twain, Master Pei expressed his affirmation.
"It's definitely Butler Winnex. I've seen him a few times at parties, and he looks basically the same as you described!"
Identity confirmation.
Someone tried to take the initiative to cancel the stealth, shouted to communicate with him, and tried to tell him that they planned to stop the countess and save the goddess of illusion.
Useless.
Steward Winnex remained silent and said nothing, but he still showed no mercy.
He is like a ruthless and taciturn killing machine, attacking all outsiders who step into the main building of the castle indiscriminately.
There's no trickery this time, no speedrunning.
The problem can only be solved with the most basic hard power.
"Come on!"
"There is only one butler in Winnex."
"We have a huge numerical advantage!"
"Use all possible range disruption methods, such as lighting arrows, arcane explosions, explosive traps, and the warrior's thunder strike!"
"Maintaining stealth requires maintaining the peace of shadow energy. No matter how strong a stalker is, he will be forced to reveal himself when the surrounding environment is disturbed enough."
"Keep a relatively dispersed distance and seduce him to take action."
"If anyone is attacked, beat him and Winnex to death together!"
The plan proposed by Pat was very simple and crude.
Whether it is magic or combat skills.
It takes time to aim and lock onto the target to avoid missing the target or accidentally injuring teammates.
After all, swords have no function of identifying friend and foe.
But during this short locking time, the opportunity to attack Winnex might be missed.
So Peter simply played a cruel trick.
Give up the plan to avoid accidental injury!
If it's an accidental injury, let's do it accidentally.
Anyway, even if his teammates are not killed, there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape Winnex's [Shadow Blade]. Might as well let this death make a difference.
Life for injury!
Even though I'm dead, I still have to leave you with some injuries before I die!
Even, in the extreme case - if you simply use your life to fill up, and exhaust the number of uses of Winnex's shadow magic, his strength should also be greatly reduced!
The strategy has been confirmed.
The same approach as any Stalker:
Catch him out of the shadow protection, unable to maintain the opportunity to sneak.
This is when the stalker is most vulnerable!
As for who will be the unlucky guy attacked by the Winnex Butler.
This kind of thing is left to luck.
When it comes to opening up wasteland, facing powerful enemies, it's impossible not to die.
Although Pett emphasized before setting off, time was limited and as few deaths as possible were necessary.
But when it comes to this kind of test of hard power, you still have to risk your life!
…
The Petwain people who were watching the whole process and listening to Pet and their exchange plan were almost dumbfounded.
What did he hear?
Are these people just going to rush in like this?
A head-on confrontation with a rogue of at least level 4?
He knew that the followers of the God of Knowledge were very virtuous.
He had seen this when he was in Xiwei Territory.
Now it seems that this group of people are so strong in martial arts that they are willing to risk their lives. They unite as one and can use their companions as targets, just to defeat the enemies that stand in front of them.
The cohesion is so strong that it explodes.
"With such an organization, we can only make good friends, not offend."
This was the biggest thought that came to Pettwain's mind.
They dared to rush in wherever the level 4 stalkers were guarding.
Then if his fourth-level warrior father offends them, will he also have to worry about whether they will rush into his home one night?
…
Crowds of people poured into the front hall of the main building. Considering that no matter who the opponent hit, they were basically instant kills. This time, the one at the front was no longer a shield fight.
Instead, they are a group of rangers who master the [Lighting Arrow].
After entering, without saying a word, they opened their bows and nocked arrows, and shot the arrows as fast as they could.
Not fast enough.
Move slowly and Steward Winnex might start hunting.
When the arrows collide, a small area filled with red light will be generated centered on the arrow.
This area has a strong detection and warning effect on the existence.
It does not have the ability to directly force out high-level stalkers, but it can make the opponent's body appear shallow under the illumination of red light, making it easier to be discovered.
The light source emitted by [Lighting Arrow] illuminates part of the area in the hall.
But more places are still in darkness.
As soon as Peter entered the castle, he vaguely saw a thin figure, who appeared behind a fellow ranger like a shadow.
Pate wasn't the only one to notice this.
"Gather the fire!"
"Don't hold back, beat me to death!"
Peter shouted loudly and decisively.
The [Arcane Missiles] that were ready to go were shot out immediately!
This attack achieved the results that Pate wanted.
Although two rounds hit his companion, the third shuttle-shaped warhead hit Winnex's arm.
【The Secret of All Things Revealed】In magic.
As a result, the opponent's health status dropped by 1%.
Defense breached successfully!
The attack works!
That's enough!
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
