Chapter 749
After killing Flying Meatbun, the Demon Slaughterer was just about to turn back, when another Thief emerged some 50 meters away from it . He held up his crossbow and fired a volley of bolts .
Put put put! The bolts struck the Demon Slaughterer .
Miss!
−1
Miss!
The Demon Slaughterer had insanely high defense!
The Thief didn’t even put away his crossbow . He instantly turned to flee, but the Demon Slaughterer had already closed in on him and slashed down with its greatsword .
−16,283
Another Thief was killed .
Much in the same fashion, one Thief after another popped out of stealth and took aim at the Demon Slaughterer . None of them survived for more than a second . But little by little, they did manage to lure the Demon Slaughterer away from the center of the square .
The ground was littered with corpses . There was a trail of bodies leading out from the square . Before long, the casualties reached over 100 .
The Demon Slaughterer brandished it greatsword, calling a shower of fireballs down onto the square .
“This is where we come in…” Downfall muttered to himself . He ran over to the fallen Thieves and cast Hate Dispersal on himself .
The Demon Slaughterer’s crimson eyes locked onto Downfall . It raised its greatsword in preparation to kill him .
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Several arrows flew past the Demon Slaughterer’s eyes .
The Demon Slaughterer snarled . It looked toward the new perpetrator and spotted a Thief wielding a bow in the distance . It swung its greatsword and sent flames slashing towards him .
BOOM! The inferno swallowed the Thief up within a second .
Another Thief already took their comrade’s place .
When the Demon Slaughterer was distracted, Downfall started reviving the fallen Thieves . As gentle blue rays of light bathed their bodies, they got up one after another . After being brought back to life, they only had a sliver of health . Disappearing into stealth, they hurriedly retreated to a safe space to recuperate .
After discovering Downfall reviving the fallen Thieves, the Demon Slaughterer bellowed out in rage . With a wave of its greatsword, it sent a flaming, crescent-shaped slash flying towards him .
BOOOM! Downfall was knocked off his feet and sent flying .
The Thieves continuously attracted the Demon Slaughterer’s attention . As for the Shaman Doctors, they kept reviving the fallen on the ground . They had all set the timers of their Resurrection Emblems to 10 seconds . Even if they were killed, they would quickly revive . Then, they would down some Specialist Potions to recover their health and mana .
The Demon Slaughterer was starting to get flustered . No matter how many Thieves it killed, their seemed to be no end to them .
Since it only ever faced one Thief at a time, the Demon Slaughterer used ordinary attacks instead of AoE magic .
Occasionally, the Demon Slaughterer would also kill one or two Shaman Doctors . However, as soon it turned its back, they would resurrect and run away .
The Demon Slaughterer was slowly drawn farther and farther away until it was over 500 meters from the altar .
Nie Yan slowly approached the altar while closely paying attention to the Demon Slaughterer’s movements at the same time .
The Demon Slaughterer had no idea it was being taken for a ride . As long as it saw a Thief appear in its vision, it would charge toward them and swing down with its greatsword . The fact it had killed many of them before never once struck it as odd .
The 190 Thieves had all died at least two or three times by now, but in reality their losses weren’t that great .
The situation was better than Nie Yan expected . This sort of luring strategy was extremely effective .
Seeing the Demon Slaughterer being kept busy, Nie Yan smirked . He inched closer toward the altar . When he was about 60 meters away, he bumped into a membrane of light . It was a protective barrier!
As soon as Nie Yan made contact with the barrier, the Demon Slaughterer quivered . It swung its head around with a ferocious gaze . Then, with a flap of its wings, it shot toward him .
「Boss, be careful!」
「Boss, the Demon Slaughterer is after you!」
Seeing the Demon Slaughterer rushing towards the altar, Nie Yan’s heart trembled . He activated Gale Step and fled out of the area .
By the time the Demon Slaughterer returned to the altar, Nie Yan was long gone .
The Demon Slaughterer landed back on the ground . After patrolling the vicinity and not discovering anything out of the ordinary, it returned to a passive roaming state .
Seeing this scene, the faces of the expedition team members crumpled with despair . They spent so much effort luring the Demon Slaughterer away, but it was all for nothing in the end . All that hard work had gone down the drain .
「We failed . . . 」
A dejected mood hung in the air .
「Boss, what do we do?」
Everyone gazed at Nie Yan . If he couldn’t come up with another idea, they could only return empty-handed .
「Don’t worry . There’s always a way,」Nie Yan comforted .
The altar was protected by a barrier . Even though the barrier wasn’t very strong, the Demon Slaughterer would be alerted to anyone that made contact with it and come rushing over .
The barrier had to be destroyed first!
