Chapter 166: Enemies in the Dark, Battle Upgrade
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As the Ruins guardians charged towards them, closing in on their position, Ji Chen had little time for contemplation. He swiftly issued orders for the army to launch a counterattack.
The sudden turn of events turned the battle into a confrontation, leaving little room for buffering or distancing.
The Dragon Blood Murlocs and Pure Water Sea Pixies fired their attacks in unison, decimating more than ten Ruins guardians, while the rest charged forward.
A close-quarters battle erupted.
The dragon aura of the Dragon Blood Murlocs had no effect on these alchemical creations, so they could only clash head-on with these three-meter-tall behemoths.
The Naga warriors, despite being of a lower tier than the enemies, fearlessly charged forward, as they always did.
Their heavy and sharp bone blades swung, leaving deep cracks on the bodies of the Ruins guardians.
If it were an ordinary flesh and blood creature, by now it would have lost half of its life.
But the enemies were Ruins guardians, creatures that had no concept of pain.
When attacked, their eyes flashed red, and the patterns on their bodies turned blood red.
A massive stone fist swung.
Boom!
The Naga warriors were sent flying more than ten meters away, with their scales shattered in a circular pattern and blood spewing from their mouths.
Despite such heavy damage, the Naga warriors showed no fear, only fury.
They had always been unstoppable. When had they ever been weaker than their opponents in terms of strength?
At this moment, there was no trace of fear in their eyes, only anger and ferocity.
They quickly got up from the ground and slithered forward with their strong serpent bodies, slashing with their bone blades. With a crisp sound, they shattered one arm of the relic guardian.
Swish-
Another stone fist came flying, but the Naga warriors didn’t recklessly charge forward. Instead, they twisted their bodies and evaded the attack.
Next, the stone fist grazed their scales and swung past.
Seeing this scene, Ji Chen couldn’t help but be surprised.
They managed to dodge it?
He didn’t expect these Naga warriors, who were short in stature compared to the three-meter-tall relic guardians, to be so agile.
Dodging the attack, the Naga warriors’ eyes flashed with coldness. Their two bone blades moved up and down, respectively smashing the other arm and a leg of the Ruins guardian.
The Ruins guardian now had only one leg left and couldn’t maintain its balance, staggering and falling to the ground, losing its combat capabilities.
A three-star tier three Naga warrior managed to defeat an eight-star tier three Ruins guardian.
Although it didn’t win through sheer strength, it was enough to show the potential of this military unit.
In this world, the tier didn’t determine everything. As long as the enemy’s weaknesses could be exploited, victory could be achieved even when facing a stronger opponent.
The group of Ruins Guardians, numbering in the hundreds, were barely held off by the smaller number of Naga warriors. The Naga warriors were sent flying, but they rebounded like indestructible pests, tightly entangling their opponents.
The more they were injured, the angrier they became.
Although the bone blades in their hands couldn’t completely break the Ruins Guardians, their purpose was achieved.
At this point, the other two important members, the Dragon Blood Murlocs and the Pure Water Sea Pixies, finally unleashed their powerful offensive capabilities.
The dragon aura of the Dragon Blood Murlocs had little effect on the alchemical creatures, but their physical strength alone was enough to defeat them.
Their tridents, like fully charged crossbows, shot up into the air, piercing through the enemies’ vital points.
Each shot damaged an energy core, and some even shattered them with a single blow.
The Dragon Blood Murlocs were not limited to long-range attacks; their melee combat abilities were also formidable.
Under the three-meter-tall Ruins Guardians, their small bodies looked quite comical.
But it was precisely because of their size that the Dragon Blood Murlocs could stealthily stab with their tridents, piercing the legs of the Ruins Guardians one by one. They managed to destroy the legs much more often than the energy cores.
The Pure Water Sea Pixies refused to be left behind.
Although their tier was the lowest on the field, lagging behind the Ruins Guardians by five stars, their magical damage output was still impressive.
Water arrows shot out like missiles, exploding one after another on the bodies of the Ruins Guardians.
If one explosion wasn’t enough, they would launch ten.
Although they couldn’t completely shatter the energy cores with their explosive damage, they could destroy the Ruins Guardians’ joints, rendering them paralyzed.
Ruins Guardians with damaged joints floundered on the ground like fish on the shore, completely defenseless. The Naga warriors and Dragon Blood Murlocs shattered their cores one by one.
Naga warriors blocked in the front, Dragon Blood Murlocs precisely targeted, and Pure Water Sea Pixies provided explosive output.
Although the Dragon Blood Murlocs were the only ones with a higher tier than the Ruins Guardians, when combined, their combat effectiveness was astonishing.
This was the advantage of coordinating different military units. With a good lineup, they could fully achieve the effect of 1+1+1 > 3.
Stable and powerful.
Even without Ji Chen and the other heroes intervening, the group of Ruins Guardians was gradually consumed.
One hour later.
With the energy core of the last Ruins Guardian shattered by a trident strike, there were no longer any Ruins Guardians standing in front of them.
Broken rocks were scattered everywhere, a sign of the fierce battle that had taken place.
The battle came to an end.
“Ding- You have achieved a glorious victory… You have gained 35,800 experience points..”
