Chapter 964 - 552: Heavy Sword Cleaves the Flame Demon

It can still withstand a few abuses.

As other Lords entered the field, the attack peak of Zong Shen’s team just ended.

As early as in the previous Flame Demon Boss raid, he had already discovered the issue with team output.

Normally, continuous attack for about ten minutes would reach a peak output.

Afterwards, it would be affected by arrow consumption, equipment loss, and physical fatigue.

And it is roughly at this time node.

All the Scorpion-tailed Tigers had finished firing their Bone Spikes and retreated to the rear.

They seriously guarded near Zong Shen’s team.

The long-range crossbowmen were still tirelessly attacking.

Bags of arrows and crossbow arrows were taken out, placed at their feet for easy use.

The mages sat cross-legged on the ground, starting to meditate and recover.

Under continuous magic chanting, the mages’ mana was consumed extremely fast.

It should be known that each mage was equipped with four bottles of Magic Spring Water before the expedition.

The capacity of each bottle is about fifty milliliters.

Equivalent to an additional reserve of hundreds of mana points.

On-site, only Favide and Wind God’s Favored Kanigia could continue chanting spells.

Favide had [Wise Beret (Rare)], and Kanigia carried [Magic Storage Bottle (Blue)], these equipment items granted them more mana.

Other mages did not have such configurations.

Just relying on the issued [Magic Well] was insufficient to sustain long-term full-force spellcasting.

Ultimately, most mages had to sit cross-legged and meditate to restore mana.

This was unavoidable.

Currently, there was only one [Magic Well] in the territory.

Although its production wasn’t too low, it could not supply enough for dozens of mages.

Thinking carefully, this consumption was absolutely massive.

The normal magic consumption for chanting a magic bullet or magic arrow was about 25 to 40 points.

Each wave of mages could unleash dozens.

This meant thousands of mana points were consumed.

And the chanting time for a round of magic arrows only required about 2 to 3 seconds.

It was imaginable how fast the mana consumption was.

Not to mention Zong Shen, even the average Giant City power found it difficult to sustain mage teams with magic recovery potions for long-term output.

Giant Cities often organized their mage battalions.

In groups, to output alternately.

When one group of mages output, the other prepared to meditate and recover mana.

This scheme was somewhat similar to the once-popular volley firing formation during the prevalence of firearms on Earth.

The front row of gunner squads shot and then squatted down, allowing the rear gunner squads to shoot.

At the same time, the front row gunners could reload.

This indirectly achieved continuous shooting.

In times lacking automatic firearms, maintaining unbroken firepower.

Squad and group output principles were similar to this.

Mages didn’t need to reload, as their magic staff was their rifle, and mana was the recoverable ammunition.

Fortunately, the recovery speed through meditation for mages was quite fast.

On average, they could recover one or two points every second.

The higher the wisdom attribute and the better the talent, the faster the recovery speed through meditation.

General tier three mages could fully recover mana after meditating for four to five minutes.

This was the current battlefield situation.

Zong Shen returned to the back of the team.

He beckoned to have the Flying Tiger land behind him.

Zong Shen directly leaned against the massive body of the Flying Tiger.

Comfortably lay on the outer grassland.

This round of the Flame Demon Boss refresh began.

He had already acquired nearly seventy thousand points.

He didn’t know if others profited, but he certainly wasn’t losing out.

After Zong Shen left, the Elemental Summoned Warriors there continued attacking.

These Elemental Warriors came from various tier four summoning magic.

Just the chanting time required about a minute.

Thus, until now, these warriors’ duration had not ended.

Simultaneously, the long-range shooters maintained their arrow rain.

These continued to cause stable damage to the Flame Demon Boss.

As the Flame Demon Boss’s blood volume decreased, Zong Shen’s points soared upward.

When the recent banner announcement appeared.

Because the Flame Demon Boss was immune to 80% elemental damage from frost and water elements.

It somewhat impacted Zong Shen’s mindset.

But now, he regained his previous calm demeanor.

His personal attack wave brought him great confidence.

Nothing but, just his own strength was enough to feast him lavishly in this round of Boss raid.

Although this raid couldn’t reach four or fifty thousand points,

putting in some effort to get tens of thousands or even twenty thousand points was very possible.

Overall, this acquisition was already quite good.

During the previous few challenge rounds, the most earned in a single challenge was only tens of thousands of points.

Nothing like the current Heat Wave Challenge, comfortably dealing with the Flame Demon Boss.

Thinking about this, Zong Shen’s mindset became peaceful.

This round raid didn’t involve Frost Gemstone, so the Flame Demon Boss’s life value dropped much slower compared to yesterday.

Now its life value was about 85% remaining.

The Lords gathered nearby weren’t many either.

From the Flame Demon Boss’s descent until now, over twenty minutes had passed.

Currently, only about a hundred or two Lords had gathered.

This time, the Flame Demon Boss’s refresh point was a good sixty to seventy kilometers away from the previous one.
