Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 192: The Tough King Kong
I was shocked by the sudden attack of Ibora. After all, the dark and wind-attributed undead were not good at defense. Being hit hard by such a big gorilla King Kong, it should be some kind of skill attack. The injury must not be too serious and can't last too long. Fortunately, the incidental gravity traction effect greatly increased the hit rate, but the attack power was reduced accordingly. The direct damage caused was not too great. In addition, Ibora was relatively agile and had rich practical experience. He retreated at the moment when King Kong's big slap hit him. Not only did he unload part of the force in time, but he also adjusted the angle of force. He should have been covered downwards and fell vertically to the ground, but he was actually flattened and flew out along a gentle diagonal line. On the way, he had adjusted his balance and restored control of his body. He did not suffer any additional damage from the impact. His injury was not serious and would not have any impact on the subsequent battles.
King Kong actually slapped Ibora away with one slap, which surprised Supreme Honor, Fearless Warrior, Afeng and other players who were fighting it in close combat. While continuing to chase King Kong, they all asked me similar questions, "What happened? Was the Undead Knight careless, or was it that King Kong used a powerful attack skill and was unable to dodge?" If Ibora couldn't dodge in time, they would definitely be hit hard, and no one could expect to escape successfully.
"It seems to be an attack with earth-attribute gravity pulling effect. The body has become much heavier and unable to dodge. Everyone must be careful." I quickly reminded them to be on guard, formulate countermeasures early, and try to minimize the possible damage.
The attack effect of this slap was indeed good, and it might be able to hit the target every time. Few people could dodge it in time, but it seemed to have some impact on the next action. After King Kong swung his arm out, he kept that shape for about a few seconds before retracting it and continuing other actions. The participants were all top masters, so they would naturally not miss such a good attack opportunity. Xue Wuxia's "Five Thunders" and Yun Wuying and another fearless elf archer's "One Arrow Through the Heart" all hit King Kong at the right time, which was equivalent to exchanging injuries for injuries. As long as the target could not be killed with one blow, such an attack should not have much advantage in a battle where the few were against the many.
King Kong continued to rush towards Xue Wuxia and Sheng Tiantang. A white-bone dragon guarding the nearby area went forward to intercept him, but only harassed him, not daring to fight King Kong head-on. After several consecutive slaps failed to hit the white-bone dragon, King Kong used the gravity palm again. This time, he watched carefully, but stopped all movements first, stagnated for a moment, and then launched the attack. Even with defense, the gap in strength was huge, and the white-bone dragon still failed to dodge in time. The gravity came to him, and his movements stopped. He was hit by King Kong's big palm and flew away. Although he tried his best to adjust the angle of force, he was not as agile as Ibola. He flew diagonally 10 to 20 meters away, but still could not completely relieve the force, and fell to the ground. His injuries were more serious than Ibola's.
Ibola came back and stood in front of King Kong again. Supreme Honor, Afeng and the others also hurriedly chased after him, trying their best to entangle with King Kong, covering the transfer of Holy Heaven and others , and not letting it get close to attack. The unlucky angel became the third and first player in the world to be hit by King Kong's gravity palm, and fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the damage was all borne by the possessed Seraph, and he only lost a little physical strength. The Fearless Warrior, who moved slower but was quite annoying to King Kong, naturally could not escape this slap, and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he could use healing potions, and several silver-robed bishops such as Holy Heaven restored his health, so he was able to recover quickly and continue to fight.
Perhaps because of its large size, King Kong usually does not jump directly. It usually uses the thick and long stone pillars in the cave as a buffer. Depending on the height of the climb, it can jump to different distances. It is still traceable, so it is not too difficult for us to deal with it. Otherwise, facing a level 10 monster with high defense, strong attack, and good at jumping around, it will be difficult to take effective precautions to avoid casualties. However, King Kong always likes to find trouble with those long-range attacking archers and magicians first. As for the Supreme Honor and others who are entangled around him, unless the other party attacks his sore spot and makes him unhappy, he will chase and attack them several times. Otherwise, he will drive them away and will not stop the pursuit and entangle with them. The gravity palm of King Kong is indeed very powerful. Once it is used, except for Ebola and Supreme Honor who can accelerate in a short distance with the "Speed Wing Light Armor" and have a strong ability to resist gravity traction, even the pterosaur knight can hardly avoid it completely and will inevitably be blown away. Fortunately, King Kong's gravity palm seems to be unable to be used continuously, and the fastest interval must be one or two minutes, otherwise it is afraid that Afeng and the Fearless Warriors will find it difficult to attack in close range. The five silver-robed bishops of Shengtiantang have almost become full-time rescue team members, constantly busy casting various auxiliary magic for other players and restoring the health of injured players. Anyway, the direct damage caused by their magic attacks is far less than that of Xue Wuxia's thunder magic and shooters, and Angels in the World and several other light phantom knights. It is more useful to give full play to the auxiliary effect of light magic.
Except for the three artifact holders, Supreme Honor, Fearless Warrior and Afeng, who tried their best , the knights of Angels in the World mainly focused on entanglement and restraint, paying attention to protecting themselves. More attack opportunities came from the four archers, Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying. Although King Kong has not yet revealed long-range attack skills, and has only used close combat methods such as punching and kicking, it can move quickly with the help of climbing and jumping on stone pillars. It can easily fly over a distance of 30 to 40 meters or even 100 meters, and will also make continuous jumps according to the situation, trying to attack distant targets. It is also a great threat to the long-range attack archers and magicians, and cannot rest easy. If it weren't for the Supreme Honor, especially Ibola who always returned to defend and intercept in time, Afeng and the Fearless Warriors would also risk their lives, use their rich combat experience, accurately judge the target and route that King Kong was going to attack, rush to the front to intercept in time, effectively delay King Kong's actions, and buy time for the shooter and magician to retreat. Once King Kong got close to them, facing the threat of gravity palm, the harm would be much more serious. Therefore, the cooperation between players of different professions is particularly important. Try your best to protect yourself, cover your companions, reduce unnecessary damage, and assist other companions to get more opportunities to increase the damage to King Kong, so that there is hope of winning the final victory. Fortunately, this operation is a gathering of the elites of the three major mercenary groups. If 18 players were selected from a mercenary group to participate in the operation, it would be impossible to have such a strong single-soldier combat capability. Once they encountered the attack of the gravity palm that was difficult to dodge, the players with weaker strength would be in danger.
I was the most relaxed person in the whole game. I hid in the safe rear and didn't need to go to the front line to launch an attack directly. I kept urging the "Touch of Death" to absorb mental power and summon more undead minions to fight. Anyway, I could use healing potions and had the assistance of the silver-robed bishop, so there would be no risk of lack of health. There were the Supreme Honor and others nearby, and Xue Wuxia and others far away. I was particularly careful to hide and try to avoid King Kong's sight to avoid attracting its attention. The summoning action was not disturbed. It was a pity that in the face of the tyrannical King Kong, the summoned white bone dragon could not survive for long. In order to intercept King Kong's attack on Afeng and the Fearless Warriors and stop King Kong from rushing towards Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying, these summons were naturally the most suitable for sacrifice. They repeatedly sacrificed their lives for justice and dedicated their lives to saving other players. In fact, this is also a prerequisite for the sincere cooperation of the three forces. I was required by Honor and Fearless to fight in this way because I had the "Touch of Death" and could summon infinitely. Otherwise, if I accumulate most of the undead minions, once I kill King Kong, I can turn around and defeat or intercept the players of Glory and Fearless relatively easily, and our United Alliance will win the "Prince Order" - everyone is determined to win the "Prince Order", so it is impossible for me to have the opportunity to take too much advantage. Of course, Holy Heaven and Supreme Honor did not deliberately preserve their strength. Although they were reluctant to let the Seraphim they summoned die - as long as there was a chance, they would promptly take back the seriously injured or possessed angels, but they did not retreat. They fought very hard and immediately summoned intact angels again to continue attacking King Kong. They strictly abided by the pre-war agreement and resolutely maintained their credibility as professional players.
The auxiliary magic of the Silver Robe Bishop has indeed played a good effect, enhancing attack and defense, and restoring status. It can be said that it combines the advantages of several magic professions, greatly enhancing our ability to continue fighting, and can tangle with King Kong for a long time. Fortunately, there are only two light professions. If there are more, I am afraid that one will dominate and be invincible in the world, which may help the Church of Light realize its ambition of "bright world".
After a long attack without any results, not even one invader was killed. King Kong seemed a little anxious, and kept making "Oh Woo" roars. More and more of them used stone pillars to jump and attack, which brought us a greater threat. We had to be doubly careful and try harder to intercept. Poor my white bone dragon, many times I had to launch suicide attacks to anger King Kong, delay its actions, cover the shooters, especially the five silver-robed bishops such as Xue Wuxia and Sheng Tiantang who were closer, to retreat in time to avoid being hurt by King Kong's clutches. Even if I wanted to preserve my strength, I had to go all out in such a situation where casualties could occur at any time. I didn't dare to really put it into practice, which led to unpredictable consequences. Fortunately, after a period of running-in, we cooperated more and more tacitly, and knew how to better contain King Kong's actions. Otherwise, if it had been so brave and fierce at the beginning, I'm afraid it would have sacrificed a few.
During this time, King Kong showed his special skills again, spinning on the spot, turning around slowly, waving his arms like a windmill, sweeping away all the objects he touched. However, this skill takes more time and can only be used against enemies who attack at close range. It is more likely to be attacked by archers and magicians during the use. Under the careful precautions of Afeng and others, it is difficult to hurt too many targets at a time by taking turns to attack, so King Kong only uses it occasionally and does not get more opportunities to perform. Being lured by our absolute advantage in numbers, King Kong continued to have small wounds on his body, but still failed to achieve any results. King Kong seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and suddenly stopped attacking, standing still on the ground, beating his chest and stamping his feet and howling, which immediately scared the Supreme Honor and others, thinking that it was going to use some powerful skills, and hurriedly retreated a little. Even Ibola was ordered by me to suspend the attack. It was the backbone of the final participation in the "Prince Order" operation with Glory and Fearless, and it must not leave the stage early because of serious injuries.
It was not a direct attack. After a moment, as the ground trembled slightly, twelve clay dolls three or four meters high, earthy yellow in color, and seemingly made of mud emerged from the ground around King Kong's body and attacked us. Those who were close to him waved their fists and rushed forward to attack. Those who had no enemies nearby either slowly moved to chase after them, or raised their right hands and quickly condensed a soccer-sized clay bomb and threw it at us. This should be the ninth-level earth magic "Earth Element Summoning". Depending on the user's ability, it can summon humanoid creatures made of earth elements of different numbers and strengths, with a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve. The weakest clay dolls only have melee capabilities, like the gorilla king King Kong, who summoned twelve clay dolls. Being able to fight in close combat and have long-range attack capabilities is already a very high level, which is generally an ability only possessed by holy beasts. It is estimated that because the gorilla king is a special type of boss-level monster, it has such a strong ability.
I originally thought that King Kong was alone, but I didn't expect that he could summon clay dolls to help him fight. There were quite a few of them, up to twelve. It seemed that it was not so easy to kill him. Suddenly , there were clay dolls that could attack from a distance. The clay bombs thrown could reach as far as a hundred meters, increasing our risk of being hurt. The defensive ability was not weak either. The full-strength attack of the fearless warrior only made a big hole in the clay doll. It would not be killed in three or five attacks. Although the movement speed was relatively slow, it could still play a significant role in conjunction with King Kong's actions to contain us. Especially for several melee professions, while fighting with King Kong, there was a possibility that one or even several clay bombs would fly from other directions to attack at any time. We had to be more careful to dodge, which temporarily disrupted our offensive plan and gave King Kong more opportunities.
Fortunately, the cave was quite wide, and the clay puppets' attack range was only about 100 meters. They moved slowly and could not catch up with us. We quickly adjusted and moved to a place 300 to 500 meters away from the clay puppets to prevent King Kong from getting help from the clay puppets. However, we still underestimated the ability of the clay puppets. We stopped chasing, stood still for a moment, and slowly escaped into the ground. Soon, they emerged from King Kong again, closely united around the gorilla king, and fought against us. They were really tough guys. It seemed that we could only kill these clay puppets, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of their threat.
So, in addition to King Kong, the enemies we faced included twelve more clay dolls, which immediately offset our huge advantage in numbers. There was no way to effectively intercept King Kong's actions. The archers and magicians had to spend more time moving and retreating to prevent King Kong from getting close. Not only did the possibility of encountering danger increase a lot, but the attack efficiency also decreased a lot. The goal of killing King Kong was still a long way off.
The attack power of these clay puppets, whether punching or throwing clay bombs, is definitely not as strong as the "Torch Stone Bomb" of the giant magician. However, as a life form composed purely of earth elements, their defense ability is indeed strong, which is better than that of the giant magician. Close-range smashing and long-range shooting, in conjunction with the actions of King Kong, always intervene at critical moments to cause damage, repeatedly causing our actions to fall short, and even suffering from King Kong's injuries, so we have to invest more energy to deal with them. Of course, we can't kill too many of these clay puppets. According to relevant experience, once more than two-thirds of the summoned creatures die, King Kong is likely to re-cast the "Earth Element Summoning" to make up the number of twelve, which cannot solve the problem once and for all and completely break their threats. Therefore, four are left, so that King Kong can summon new clay puppets as late as possible to help in the battle.
We had just participated in the "World Heroes Conference". We lacked powerful auxiliary props and relied entirely on our own strength to fight, which seemed particularly strenuous. However, facing the temptation of the "Prince Order", no one was willing to give up. Everyone went all out and gritted their teeth for a little hope. The threat of clay dolls had a relatively large impact on melee professions. Finally, the first casualty appeared - a phantom knight riding a speed dragon from Glory was extremely unlucky to be hit by a clay doll's clay bullet on the way to evacuate King Kong after the attack. His body was stagnant, but King Kong seized the opportunity and swung a gravity palm, hitting him hard. He was dizzy and couldn't wake up for a while. King Kong ignored the attacks of others, rushed over a few steps, punched and kicked, and stomped, not giving the phantom knight a chance to turn over, and directly smashed him into a pile of meat paste.
