MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 350: Confrontation
So-called spell materials are actually equipment.

Just like Li Yao’s Poisonous Snake Trap. The material Li Yao uses for his trap determines the effect it produces.

The materials needed to create a metal snake, what kind of toxin to apply to the metal snake, takes a lot of thought and care.

However, Iron Stone Demons require more thought and can only be summoned using heavy plate armor or metal weapons.

But If you use heavy or plate armor to summon, the defensive power of a level two Iron Stone Demon will be ridiculously high, but its attack power will essentially be nonexistent.

But if you use a metal-forged weapon, it’s different. Iron Stone Demons inherently possess strong defensive power and damage reflection ability. Combined with the attack power of the weapon, a level two Iron Stone Demon truly shows its function.

A level one Iron Stone Demon is rather useless.

And the most impressive thing about a level two Iron Stone Demon is that if the metal weapon has a special effect, the Iron Stone Demon also has a certain probability of obtaining a variant of that weapon’s special effect.

For instance, if the weapon’s special effect is to release a shadow bolt when attacking, the summoned Stone Demon might release a shadow bolt, or it might release some spell related to shadow.

These spells are random, some skills can show a tremendous effect, but some are just useless, and sometimes the special effect doesn’t appear at all.

Such a setting prevents the Iron Stone Demon from becoming too OP, otherwise, it would be too bugged.

According to the rules of the arena, if one side is a summoning profession, once both sides confirm the match, there will be a thirty-second countdown.

This is to allows summoners to bring out all their summoned creatures. Otherwise, when faced with many professions, the summoners may be restricted or defeated before they even get a chance to summon their pets.

“It seems like Illusion God really respects me. He would even resort to using a level ten purple weapon to summon a Stone Demon,” Li Yao said while watching Illusion God summon forth one undead creature after another.

In his past life, he hadn’t made an appearance. Illusion God’s group of people had a small, independent circle. They only interacted internally.

They never showed up in public, but nobody underestimated them. Because they didn’t participate in competitions, didn’t scramble for dungeon first kills, and didn’t establish guilds to chase after fame and fortune, other guilds kept their distance out of respect.

Li Yao had only heard of them, but never met them. Seeing Illusion God, who was famous for his agile professions, use a summoner type Necromancer today was quite a surprise.

However, he wasn’t surprised. If he thought he could exhaust me to death with a zerg rush, then he miscalculated.

“I’ve watched all your videos, so naturally, I know some of your secrets. Just the information you exposed is enough for me to treat you as a real opponent,” Illusion God said while continuing to summon his pets.

In a short time, Illusion God had already summoned thirty Elite Magic Skeletons. Judging from the glow in the skeleton’s arms, Li Yao knew there were ten Ice Skeletons, ten Flame Skeletons, and ten Toxic Skeletons.

There were ten Tank Skeletons holding Bone Shields and twenty Melee Skeletons holding Sickles.

By the time he finished summoning these skeletons, the countdown was almost over.

The players in the stand were all dumbfounded. This was so strong. This was a junior boss-level Iron Stone Demon and sixty Elite Skeletons. They had ranged and melee units and lacked only healers. This was like countless small groups.

By judging the glow of the equipment, most of Illusion God’s gear was purple. Together with these skeletons, they could be said to be at the peak of power.

Now it depended on his skills, but the question was, did Illusion God’s skills still need questioning?

During the thirty seconds, Li Yao wasn’t idle either and directly summoned several Mechanical Sheep.

Meanwhile, Li Yao was more eager to complete the summoning mission. As a summoner-mode Hunter, being able to only summon one pet was really at a disadvantage.

Black Ranger’s pet summon is quite unstable. If he can summon a pet and a Mechanical Puppet, then it would be somewhat balanced.

In the early stages of the game, pure summoners do tend to have an advantage.

“Last one.” Illusion God directly took out a golden bone, then painful threw it out.

“Golden Skull,” Li Yao’s eyes sharply narrowed.

The Golden Skull is a special type of summon. Faselin Academy had gotten one during their early dungeon expeditions, which was given to Feng Yi.

As the name suggests, it can summon the undead of killed monsters. They are dreadfully scarce, and the higher their quality, the rarer and harder they are to get. More importantly, many such summoning bones have a limit on uses.

If that was the case, it would be ordinary. After all, many sects of Necromancers can summon powerful undead creatures. However, the key thing is, this kind of summoning bone is not restricted by summoning limits.

That is to say, besides being able to summon their own limit of creatures, Necromancers can also summon an additional combat pet.

Therefore, these summoning bones are chased after so fervently.

BOOM…

A giant humanoid skeleton stepped onto the ground, causing countless cracks to appear on the arena floor.

Although this undead skeleton was humanoid, it was absolutely massive, standing at least ten yards tall. The bones of its fingers were as thick as a person’s thigh.

“A Giant Skeleton,” Li Yao exclaimed once again. Giants are a variant of Ogres, possessing a huge body. Similar to Ogres, all creatures except other giants are their food.

“No, it’s a boss-level Giant Skeleton.” The instant Illusion God summoned the Golden Skeleton, the countdown ended as well.

“Attack.”

The second the count ended, the Giant Skeleton, which was roughly the same size as the hydra, took a heavy step and charged towards the hydra.

At the same time, the melee skeletons didn’t directly charge at Li Yao, but instead, ran to the sides.

The ranged skeletons didn’t even advance. Instead, they also bypassed the hydra, and Illusion God, surrounded by thirty ranged skeletons and his Stone Demon, slowly retreated.

“Impressive.”

A flash of light passed through Li Yao’s eyes. He was currently next to the hydra’s leg, but with the giant’s approach, Li Yao had to leave. If he didn’t, when these two behemoths clashed, he, under their feet, would be in the most danger.

But even though Illusion God had summoned so many creatures, he didn’t directly clash with Li Yao.

Instead, he smartly let the Junior Boss Giant Skeleton entangle the hydra, and let the Elite Skeletons and himself get far from the hydra’s casting range. He also prevented Li Yao from staying next to the hydra.

A level two boss is certainly stronger than a level one boss, but it’s not an easy task for a level two boss to swiftly kill a level one boss.

Seeing Li Yao retreat, Illusion God directed another dozen or so skeletons to split from his side. Like the melee skeletons, they bypassed the hydra and tried to flank Li Yao from both sides.

Seeing this, Li Yao held the Blue Moon Bow in his hand. He swung his arm and the Blue Moon Bow transformed into its full-moon form…

PS: I’ve been travelling recently, so updates have been fewer. But after the tenth at the latest, I will start releasing more chapters. I hope everyone will understand.
