Chapter 82 Who is the Hunter?
Chapter 82 Who is the Hunter?
In the concave pit, the hunter had already raised his broadsword, about to unleash his skill to attack the granite golem, when he was suddenly surrounded by the Great Demon Chen Batian, the Savage King Hahaken, and others.
"Hahahaha..."
The great demon Chen Batian laughed and pointed his broadsword at the hunter. The hunter raised his broadsword and was about to unleash a skill, but upon hearing Chen Batian's laughter, he stopped and instead ran up to him and started slashing wildly.
"-3365!"
"-3345!"
"-3389..."
Damage numbers appeared above the head of the Great Demon Chen Batian.
The hunter was over ten feet tall, and his broadsword was nearly three meters long. He slashed almost every second, and judging from the visual effect, his attack speed was extremely fast. Moreover, even with just a normal attack, the damage output was astonishing, with each strike dealing more than three thousand points of damage. And this was when he attacked Chen Batian.
Chen Batian already had 9 points of armor, and now, under the effect of the Rock General's Rock Light, his armor has reached 12 points, and his damage reduction can reach 41%. Based on this, it can be deduced that the Hunter's attack power should be close to 6000!
However, the Great Demon Chen Batian can now recover 9000 HP in a second by laughing, so he can withstand it.
Amidst their laughter, Panda Panmie, the three savage kings, and others remained safe. They focused solely on attacking the hunters, causing the damage numbers above their heads to skyrocket, resembling a small red cloud that Zhou Nan and [Li Dapu] could barely make out.
Keep in mind that just the three savage kings can deal 36 damage per second. It's as if they are wielding ice shard fans, spark fans, and blood mist fans. Their attack effects are also in effect, leaving the hunter covered in ice shards, sparks, and blood.
At this moment, the Savage King Hahaken's freezing attack is most effective, slightly reducing the hunter's attack speed so that it can no longer achieve one strike per second.
With a loud bang, Panda Panmie's [Shattering Fire Fist] was triggered, and a large area of flames burned on the ground, but it only had a damaging effect on the hunters.
Zhou Nan only felt blood light emanating from the hunter's head, but looking at its health bar, the rate at which it was decreasing was surprisingly slow.
"This large force must be dealing at least 6000 damage per second to the hunter, just how much health does this guy have?"
As Zhou Nan was pondering this, the great demon Chen Batian's laughter ended. He was still the target of the hunters' attacks, but now without the healing buff, he lost one bar of health with every hit. The second-rate veterinarian was healing him from behind, but the 300 points of health regeneration per second was simply not enough.
The hunter quickly began unleashing his skills, swinging his broadsword and unleashing a barrage of attacks, including "Earthquake Wave," "Crescent Slash," "Cross Slash," and "Reaper's Scythe," almost one every two seconds. Some attacks were linear, some were fan-shaped, and some were sweeping attacks around the body. Each skill dealt area damage, with damage numbers exceeding three thousand. His target remained Chen Batian, as Chen Batian had the highest damage output, with an attack power of 2700. When he was laughing, he drew aggro with his skills; when he wasn't laughing, he drew aggro with his strength.
The damage dealt to Chen Batian by the hunter's skill was actually less than the damage from his normal attack. Even when frozen and slowed by the Wild King Haha, the normal attack still dealt nearly 3000 damage per second to Chen Batian. Although the skill could be used every two seconds and dealt a high total damage, causing the Wild King, Panda, Rock General, and others to lose health, the damage per second on Chen Batian was only around 1500.
"What kind of boss is this? Is it on drugs? It's too powerful! Infinite power, infinite mana!"
[Outrageous] He exclaimed in surprise from the high ground.
Zhou Nan remained silent, which actually made him feel a little more at ease.
"With a damage per second of around 1500, in a one-on-one fight, this predator might be able to kill Chen Batian within 60 seconds. But right now, the healing from this second-rate veterinarian is crucial. 300 HP per second, that's 18000 HP in 60 seconds, which can keep Chen Batian from being killed. Then things will get interesting..."
Zhou Nan carefully observed the hunter, calmly controlling the low-health Wild King to stay away from the hunter and avoid his area-of-effect skills. 60 seconds passed quickly, and Chen Batian, who had 90,000 health points, was reduced to just over 16,000. He pointed his Flame Blade at the hunter and laughed loudly again, with green health regeneration numbers appearing above his head.
"Big Boss, throw a stone at the hunter to stun him!"
Zhou Nan shouted, having already controlled the Wild Man King and others to once again besiege and kill the hunters.
"Now? Before he uses his skill?"
[Outrageous] asked with some confusion, but followed Zhou Nan's command and had his granite puppet activate the [Stun Throw] skill, knocking the hunter unconscious on the spot with a stone.
But the dizziness effect only lasts for a very short second!
[Outrageous] said, "Outrageous! This guy also has high magic resistance."
Zhou Nan said, "What we need now is to recover health. Don't underestimate this second. With the Savage King Haha willing to slow down the Hunter, this second can make him take two fewer hits, and the Great Demon Chen Batian can recover an extra 6000 health..."
Before he could finish explaining, Chen Batian's laughter stopped. Considering the effects of the second-rate veterinarian's treatment, he had recovered about 70,000 health points in those ten seconds, bringing his current health points to over 86,000.
The Hunter began to unleash its skills, and Zhou Nan quickly controlled the Savage King and others to move away. He then continued to explain to [Outrageous]: "Did you see that? When Chen Batian was laughing just now, the Hunter only slashed 8 times. As long as the Great Demon's health is above 70,000, it will be fine after another round."
"oh."
"Next time, I don't need to tell you. As long as Chen Batian laughs, you can have the Granite Golem stun the Hunter once. The time after that, stun him twice, and Chen Batian's health will be fully restored. That's like starting over. As long as the Great Demon doesn't die, even if it's only for the ten seconds he uses the [Taunt] skill, I can have my minions swarm him and wear him down sooner or later... Your Granite Golem has limited mana, so it can only use [Stun Throw] 20 times. That should be about right."
"I understand!"
[Outrageous] nodded excitedly, then asked, "What kind of loot will such a strong BOSS drop after defeating it? At least blue cards, right?"
Zhou Nan said, "Don't think about the spoils for now. Focus on watching the battle. There might be unexpected situations, so be prepared to react accordingly!"
He dared not be careless; at this moment, the hunter's health bar had only dropped by one-tenth, its health was truly massive.
It's worth noting that the Great Demon Chen Batian could deal over 120,000 damage in 60 seconds of basic attacks. Adding to that the damage output from the three Savage Kings, Panda Pan Mie, and other units, even if they left the field while the Hunter was using its skills, they still dealt at least over 200,000 damage to the Hunter. Zhou Nan had previously estimated that the Hunter had several hundred thousand health points, but he underestimated it. Now, judging from the situation, its health points might be over two or three million.
Horror!
Zhou Nan was worried that the hunter might have a near-death burst setting, so he kept the fire turtle Thanos just in case.
A minute later, the Nine-Star Cannon Buddies ran out of ammunition and could only watch from the high ground.
Five minutes later, Zhou Nan made a mistake, moving too slowly, and the Crab Sword King, with only 20,000 health points, met its end.
Ten minutes later, even though Zhou Nan tried to control it, the Savage King Hahafa was still killed by the hunter's unpredictable area-of-effect skill.
After that, Zhou Nan counted the time, controlling the entry and exit of the Savage King, Rock General, and others in advance, only striving for five or six seconds of safe time to output damage when the Great Demon Chen Batian activated the [Taunt] skill, resolutely not being greedy.
He also kept the [Outrageous] granite golem far away, only looking for his [Dizzying Throw].
The Sword Butterfly and the three Heroic Bear Watchtowers on the high ground were able to output damage steadily.
After nearly ten more minutes, the [outrageous] granite golem was almost out of mana to use its skills, and the hunter's health bar finally dropped to less than one-tenth.
At that moment, the hunter let out a long howl, and the red robe on its back suddenly burst open, followed by the sudden growth of two blood-red wings.
"A near-death burst! A transformation? Perfect timing!"
Zhou Nan had anticipated this. When he heard the hunter roar to the sky, he threw out the [Fire Turtle Thanos] and ordered the Savage King and others to rush up and beat it up without hesitation.
With a deafening roar, Thanos descended from the sky, slamming the hunter, who seemed about to take flight, to the ground, stunning it. The most brutal battle ensued, and Zhou Nan didn't allow his summoned units to retreat either, launching a fierce attack. Even after the hunter's stun wore off, he didn't back down.
Quickly, the Savage King Hahaken died, the Rock General Big Roll died, the Savage King Hengheng died, and the Panda Panmie, who had 180,000 HP, died, triggering [Crushing Fire Fist] once before dying.
The hunters, now with blood-red wings, were indeed much stronger, their attack power nearly doubling. Even the great demon Chen Batian couldn't withstand them. With Chen Batian dead, the second-rate veterinarian was done for with a single blow. The [outrageous] granite golem was in a flurry of activity and was also hacked into a pile of rubble by the hunters.
"Awooooo!"
The hunter roared, his posture arrogant and domineering. He finally took to the sky, but his health bar was completely black. He wanted to charge towards the high ground, but Zhou Nan sprayed him with a goblin machine gun. In the end, it was the three heroic axe throwers standing on the heroic watchtower who threw a round of flying axes and knocked him to the ground. With a clang, a large number of items fell out, and the ground was covered with golden light.
