Chapter 623 Second-Stage Enhancement

Chapter 623 Second-Stage Enhancement

Everyone looked at the confident Eric, and their heavy hearts began to ease.

Although the Grand Lord level Azureflame Raven King was incredibly powerful, it wasn't completely unbeatable.

After all, dungeons were designed for players to clear - they just hadn't figured out the right strategy yet.

Eric pulled out The Book of Darkness and began chanting the spells within.

"Come forth, Demon Gate!"

With Eric's sharp command, the black mist gathering in mid-air formed a silver-gray Demon Gate. However, compared to the one Sharon summoned, this was far inferior - not only was the gate smaller, but the aura it gave off was quite ordinary, lacking that heart-stopping feeling.

While this smaller Demon Gate was nothing special to Eric, FlameDancer and the others, seeing it for the first time, became serious, staring intently at the gate.

As the Demon Gate gradually opened, everyone felt a chill in their hearts - or rather, a sense of danger.

Soon, a purple demon about two people tall emerged from the gate.

The moment this purple demon swept its gaze over everyone, the alert FlameDancer and others drew their weapons, ready for battle.

"Don't worry, this is a demon I summoned." Eric waved his hand, signaling everyone to relax. "Looks like my luck was pretty good this time - it's actually a Tier 2 demon, a Heart-Devouring Wraith."

Heart-Devouring Wraith, Evil Spirit, Level 35, 1.2 million HP.

A Tier 2 demon was equivalent to an Overlord Grade monster. While its HP wasn't as thick as an Overlord monster's, it surpassed Overlord Grade monsters in skills and intelligence, making it a huge help in team dungeons.

Although players' personal guards could also enter dungeons, Kyle's level was too high, and if he died, reviving him would be difficult. Most importantly, personal guards took up a dungeon slot, so it wasn't worth it. But summoning demons had no such concerns.

Plus, every demon had many skills and their own specialties. The Heart-Devouring Wraith, for example, excelled at support - it could weaken enemies and strengthen allies, which was why Eric said his luck was good.

"A Tier 2 demon!" Rosewater looked at the Heart-Devouring Wraith in amazement.

Divine Realms: Legends had plenty of summoning skills. Summoners were a class specifically for summoning creatures, but even Tier 1 Summoners had trouble summoning a single Tier 1 creature - most summoned large numbers of Tier 0 creatures to fight.

If even Tier 1 Summoners of the summoning class could barely summon Tier 1 creatures, Tier 2 creatures were even more out of reach. Those were Overlord-level monsters that could completely dominate among players and play an unimaginable role in dungeons.

"Alright, everyone get ready and position yourselves. Keep 10 yards between each person. Fight it the same way you fought the Adversity-level Azureflame Raven King." Eric wasted no more time and immediately took command.

In his past life, Eric had gotten sick of running Infernal-level Raven Ruins, but back then they'd steamrolled it with level advantages - every team member was above level 40 with gear at Mithril Level or higher.

Infernal-level Raven Ruins wasn't much different from Adversity-level - just significantly boosted base stats and skills, without any new abilities or traps. It was a medium-difficulty large team dungeon, relatively easy to clear. If it were high difficulty, Eric would have had to give up.

"Heart-Devouring Wraith, support magic!" Eric commanded once everyone was in position.

The Heart-Devouring Wraith nodded, its sharp claws writing out spell after spell.

Tier 2 Magic - Iron Wall Enhancement!

Tier 2 Magic - Blood's Radiance!

Tier 2 Magic - Magic Amplification!

Tier 2 Magic - Power of the Mad Bull!

...

One Tier 2 spell after another boosted everyone's strength significantly, especially Cola's defense and HP. Not only did his defense double, but his HP also increased by 60%, bringing Cola's total HP to over 16,000. As for the second-ranked MT Evan Hotcher, his HP was close to 15,000.

With the enhanced defense, HP, and strength, even the Grand Lord level Azureflame Raven King couldn't one-shot them anymore.

"Holy crap, having Tier 2 support magic is amazing!" Tonny discovered his magic damage and healing effects had increased by 20%, taking his output and healing to another level.

Now everyone understood why Eric wanted to challenge Infernal-level difficulty. With this Tier 2 magic support, dealing with the Adversity-level Azureflame Raven King was basically a sure thing.

"Go!" Eric drew his Abyssal Blade and shouted.

Cola and Evan Hotcher charged ahead.

When they got within 150 yards of the Azureflame Raven King, it spotted them.

"Screech!"

The Azureflame Raven King let out a cry, flapped its wings, and human-sized black feathers shot toward them.

Dense black feathers fell like rain, impossible to dodge. Only MTs like Cola and Evan Hotcher could block them with their massive shields.

"These feathers hit really hard!" Cola exclaimed in surprise.

The Adversity-level feather attacks had only dealt two to three hundred damage to him. Though there were many, adding up to over a thousand HP lost per second - pretty high damage - now each hit dealt three to four hundred damage, and their defense had doubled.

Without the Tier 2 magic support, each hit would probably deal seven to eight hundred damage.

When Cola and Evan Hotcher were 50 yards from the Azureflame Raven King, it finally stopped the feather attack. Blue flames gathered in its mouth as it sprayed them at Guardian Knight Cola and Shield Warrior Evan Hotcher.

Both were used to dodging flames and rolled away, avoiding the blue fire and closing in on the Azureflame Raven King.

Shield Bash!

-1042.

Heavy Strike!

-895.

Cola and Evan Hotcher both gasped.

"Holy crap, its defense is way too strong!" Cola's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the damage he'd dealt.

With the Power of the Mad Bull strength enhancement boosting strength by 15%, the damage should have increased significantly. Against a high-level Overlord Grade Azureflame Raven King, it should have broken 1,500 easily, but now it was barely over a thousand.

In the instant Cola was stunned, the Azureflame Raven King swung its wing at him. Cola reacted quickly and raised his shield to block.

Boom!

Cola's knees sank into the ground as over 4,000 damage appeared above his head.

"The Grand Lord level Azureflame Raven King is way too strong!"

The others rushing forward were shocked by this scene. That damage was with a shield blocking - without it, he'd probably be instantly killed. If their defense hadn't doubled, the damage would have broken 8,000...

Eric wasn't concerned.

Without the Tier 2 magic support, Cola would have had to activate Dark Power to cope, or he'd easily get one-shotted.

But with the Heart-Devouring Wraith's presence, this battle became much easier.

"Your turn!" Eric commanded the Heart-Devouring Wraith again.

The Heart-Devouring Wraith was already prepared and pointed skyward.

A seven-pointed magic circle appeared above the Azureflame Raven King.

Tier 2 Magic - Seven Star Judgment!

Instantly, the Azureflame Raven King let out a mournful cry.
