Chapter 114 Demonic Slaughterer

The Demonic Slaughterer had just instantly killed Roubao and was about to turn back when another thief appeared about fifty yards away. He held a crossbow in his hand, firing several bolts.

*Pfft pfft pfft.* The bolts struck the Demonic Slaughterer, causing a series of misses to float above its head, with only one dealing a small amount of fixed damage.

The Demonic Slaughterer’s defense was incredibly high!

Before the thief could escape, the Demonic Slaughterer rapidly closed the distance and struck down with its sword.

-16283.

Another instant kill.

One thief after another appeared. None of them could withstand a single blow from the Demonic Slaughterer's sword, but they stubbornly used their numbers to lure the Demonic Slaughterer away bit by bit.

A trail of corpses marked their path, with the bodies of the thieves quickly accumulating to over a hundred.

The Demonic Slaughterer swung its greatsword, and fireballs rained down from the sky.

"It's our turn," Chenlun Xin said from the side. He ran towards the corpses of the thieves in the distance, casting a Hate Dilution on himself.

The Demonic Slaughterer's copper-bell-like eyes glared at Chenlun Xin, and it prepared to swing its greatsword to kill him.

*Swish swish swish,* several arrows flew past the Demonic Slaughterer's eyes.

The Demonic Slaughterer's attention was immediately drawn to the arrows, and it looked in the direction they had come from. It saw a thief in the distance using a bow and arrow. It swung its greatsword, and a burst of flames fell.

With a *boom,* the thief was instantly killed without any suspense after being struck.

As soon as that thief was killed, another thief ran over.

With the Demonic Slaughterer's attention diverted, Chenlun Xin began resurrecting the teammates on the ground with Resurrection skills. White lights descended, and the thieves rose from the ground. When they first woke up, their health was only at a sliver, so they immediately vanished into stealth, hiding in corners to restore their health.

Discovering that Chenlun Xin was resurrecting the thieves on the ground, the Demonic Slaughterer let out a deep roar. It swung its greatsword, and a crescent-shaped sword aura slashed out, sweeping across the area.

With a *bang,* Chenlun Xin was blasted away.

The thieves constantly attracted the Demonic Slaughterer's attention, while the Shaman Priests took the opportunity to resurrect their teammates on the ground. They had all set their Rebirth Emblems to ten seconds. Even if they were killed by the Demonic Slaughterer, they could quickly resurrect, then drink Instant Recovery Potions to restore their health and mana.

The Demonic Slaughterer was becoming a bit dizzy. It kept killing the thieves with its greatsword, but the number of thieves didn't seem to decrease at all.

The thieves appeared one after another, so it only used normal attacks and didn't use any AoE (area of effect) spells.

Occasionally, it would swing its sword and kill one or two Shaman Priests, but by the time it turned around, those Shaman Priests had resurrected and run away.

The Demonic Slaughterer was slowly lured away, to about five hundred yards from the altar.

Nie Yan slowly approached the altar, cautiously watching the Demonic Slaughterer's movements.

The Demonic Slaughterer walked further and further away. With its limited intelligence, it couldn't comprehend that it was being tricked. Whenever a thief appeared in its field of vision, it would swing its sword and rush forward to kill them, never realizing that many of these thieves were the same ones it had just killed.

The battle seemed intense. Each of the one hundred and ninety thieves had died two or three times, but in reality, they didn't suffer much loss.

The situation was better than Nie Yan had imagined. Their method of kiting the monster was very effective.

Looking at the Demonic Slaughterer's busy figure, Nie Yan smiled slightly. He continued to stealthily approach the altar. About sixty yards away, he seemed to touch a thin layer of light, a guardian barrier!

Just as Nie Yan touched this layer of light, the Demonic Slaughterer suddenly shuddered. Its gaze sharply turned toward the altar, and it flapped its wings, flying rapidly in that direction.

"Guild Leader, be careful!"

"Guild Leader, the Demonic Slaughterer is heading your way!"

Seeing the Demonic Slaughterer flying quickly toward the altar, Nie Yan was shocked. He activated Gale Step and ran wildly away.

By the time the Demonic Slaughterer returned to the altar, Nie Yan had already run over three hundred yards away.

The Demonic Slaughterer landed on the ground, walking back and forth near the altar. Finding nothing amiss, it returned to its original wandering state, still patrolling back and forth near the altar.

Seeing this scene, the team members all revealed disappointed expressions. They had finally managed to lure the Demonic Slaughterer out, but it was all for naught. The Demonic Slaughterer had returned, and everything they had done was a waste of time.

"We failed."

A feeling of dejection spread through everyone's hearts.

"Guild Leader, what do we do?"

Everyone looked at Nie Yan. If Nie Yan couldn't think of another way, they would have to return empty-handed.

"Don't worry, we'll think of something," Nie Yan comforted everyone.

When he approached the altar just now, he had discovered that the altar was shrouded in a barrier. Although this barrier wasn't strong, once it was touched, the Demonic Slaughterer would immediately sense it and rush over from a great distance.

They had to destroy this barrier first!

With the Demonic Slaughterer guarding it, how could they destroy it?

Could they lure the Demonic Slaughterer away again like before?

Nie Yan was well aware that if they lured the Demonic Slaughterer away first and destroyed the barrier while it was gone, it would be difficult to lure it away again next time, because the Demonic Slaughterer had a simple mind. It wouldn't fall for the same trick two or three times.

This was one of the settings in *Conviction*. Not only the Demonic Slaughterer, but other Boss-level creatures were the same.

It was difficult to destroy the barrier under the Demonic Slaughterer's protection.

Nie Yan suddenly remembered that AoE magic bombs had a destructive effect on barriers.

An idea flashed through his mind. Nie Yan immediately sent a message to Guo Huai, saying, "Send me fifteen Priests and two hundred and eighty-five Warriors. Also, I need a thousand High-Grade AoE Magic Bombs."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away," Guo Huai replied, making the arrangements.

In addition to these, Nie Yan also had some of the team members bring over some Master-Grade Potions and Rebirth Emblems to replenish the Shamans.

Soon, another three hundred members of the Numinous Sky Guild rushed over.

"Hello, Guild Leader Nie Yan!"

"Hello, Guild Leader Nie Yan!"

The voices of the Warriors and Priests rose and fell.

How difficult it was to obtain the Paternoster Warhammer!

Nie Yan had already prepared for large-scale sacrifices. If it were just Sanjie Buliu and the others, they probably wouldn't even be able to afford to play this game.

"Every nineteen Warriors and one Priest form a team. Listen to my orders!" Nie Yan said in the team chat.

The Warriors and Priests all responded in the affirmative.

Looking into the distance, the Demonic Slaughterer was still guarding the altar, never straying far.

Under Nie Yan's command, fifty or sixty Warriors approached the Demonic Slaughterer's location from all directions.

Charge!

Charge!

They all activated Charge, quickly approaching the Demonic Slaughterer.

Seeing the Warriors approaching, the Demonic Slaughterer raised the butcher's knife in its hand. To it, these low-level Warriors were basically just there to be killed, no matter how many came.

Just then, the Warriors all threw the AoE Magic Bombs in their hands, and the dense AoE Magic Bombs flew towards the altar in the center.

*Boom boom boom,* the AoE Magic Bombs exploded one after another, and flames danced.

The rising flames engulfed the Demonic Slaughterer, but couldn't deal much damage to it.

The Demonic Slaughterer flapped its wings, quickly approaching the Warriors. With one swing of its sword, five or six Warriors were instantly killed.

Soon, a large pile of corpses lay on the ground.

The altar's barrier shook under the bombardment of the AoE Magic Bombs.

"Second team, charge!"

Another group of Warriors activated Charge, launching a completely suicidal attack.

AoE Magic Bombs filled the sky, and another wave of violent explosions erupted.

"Third team, charge!"

"Fourth team, charge!"

…

Sanjie Buliu, Su Youyou, and the others watched from the outside, dumbfounded, marveling at the frantic explosions in the distance. If it were them, they wouldn't even dare to think of using such a method to destroy a barrier.

This was the benefit of being the guild leader. With a single order from the guild leader, hundreds or even thousands of people would immediately risk their lives for you. Of course, the guild leader had to have enough prestige. Like Nie Yan, with a single command, hundreds of thousands of troops could help him sweep away everything.

"The barrier can't hold on much longer," Sanjie Buliu said.

Everyone looked into the distance. Sure enough, under the dense bombardment of thousands of AoE Magic Bombs, the previously unbreakable barrier had cracked with lines like a spiderweb, rapidly spreading out. Finally, with a *bang,* it shattered into pieces.

So much indiscriminate bombing, no matter how strong the barrier, it couldn't withstand it!

However, Nie Yan's losses were also significant. In addition to the AoE Magic Bombs worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, most of the two hundred and eighty-five Warriors had also died.

It could be said that Nie Yan had paid a huge price to destroy this barrier.

For ordinary players, it was even unbearable.

Especially the Shamans and Sanjie Buliu and the others, it was hard to describe their current feelings. This was the power of a guild!

Looking at the current situation, Nie Yan remained calm and said in the team chat, "The barrier has been destroyed. All thieves, continue to lure the Demonic Slaughterer away like before!"

"Alright!"

The thieves immediately started moving, luring the Demonic Slaughterer out bit by bit, following the same method as before.

Just like before, but attracting the Demonic Slaughterer was much smoother than before. The explosion of thousands of AoE Magic Bombs had already enraged the Demonic Slaughterer. As soon as a thief appeared, its hatred immediately focused on them. So, it quickly chased after them under the thieves' bait.

Seeing the Demonic Slaughterer leave, a smile appeared on the corner of Nie Yan's mouth. This time, it was finally possible.
