Chapter 1 The Relaxed Crowd

Everyone looked at the confident Shi Feng, and their heavy mood also eased up.

Although the Grand Lord ranked Azure Fire Crow King was incredibly powerful, it wasn't without a chance to fight.

After all, dungeons were meant for players to conquer; they just hadn't thought of a good strategy yet.

Shi Feng took out the Book of Darkness and began to chant the incantations within.

"Emerge, Demon Gate!"

With Shi Feng's soft shout, black mist condensed in mid-air, forming a silver-gray Demon Gate. However, compared to the Demon Gate summoned by Xia Lian, it was far inferior. Not only was the Demon Gate smaller, but the aura it emitted was also ordinary, lacking that heart-palpitating feeling.

Although this smaller Demon Gate meant nothing to Shi Feng, Fire Dance and the others, who were seeing it for the first time, became serious, staring intently at the Demon Gate.

As the Demon Gate gradually opened, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, a sense of crisis.

Before long, a purple demon, towering at least two people tall, emerged from the Demon Gate.

This purple demon merely glanced at the crowd, but the quick-witted Fire Dance and the others immediately drew their weapons, preparing for battle.

"Don't worry, this is a demon I summoned," Shi Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry. "Looks like I got lucky with the random summon this time; it's actually a Tier 2 Heart Devouring Ghoul."

Heart Devouring Ghoul, Evil Ghost, Level 35, HP 1,200,000.

A Tier 2 Evil Ghost was equivalent to a Lord-ranked monster. Although its HP wasn't as high as a Lord-ranked monster, its skills and intelligence surpassed Lord-ranked monsters, making it a considerable asset when running team dungeons.

Although players' direct guards could also enter dungeons, Kite's level was too high, and if he died, resurrecting him would be difficult. Most importantly, a direct guard would occupy a dungeon slot, so it wasn't worth it. Summoning a demon didn't have such concerns.

Moreover, each demon had many skills and specialized in certain areas. The Heart Devouring Ghoul, for example, excelled at support, weakening enemies and enhancing allies. That's why Shi Feng said he was lucky.

"A Tier 2 demon!" Aqua Rose looked at the Heart Devouring Ghoul in astonishment.

There were many summoning skills in God's Domain. Summoners were a class specializing in summoning creatures, but even Tier 1 Summoners found it difficult to summon a Tier 1 creature. Most of them summoned a large number of Tier 0 creatures to fight.

Even for a Tier 1 Summoner, it was extremely difficult to summon a Tier 1 creature, let alone a Tier 2 creature, which was a Lord-ranked monster. It could completely dominate players and play an unimaginable role in dungeons.

"Alright, everyone, get ready and maintain a distance of 10 yards between each other. Fight the Hell Mode Azure Fire Crow King the same way we fought the Hard Mode one," Shi Feng immediately began to direct, not wanting to waste any more time.

In his previous life, Shi Feng was already tired of fighting the Hell Mode Urd God Ruins. But at that time, they used a level crush strategy, with each member being level 40 or above, equipped with Mithril-grade gear or better.

There wasn't much difference between the Hell Mode Urd God Ruins and the Hard Mode, only a significant increase in base stats and skills. No new skills or traps were added, making it a medium-difficulty large-scale team dungeon that was relatively easy to conquer. If it were a high-difficulty one, Shi Feng would have to give up.

"Heart Devouring Demon, auxiliary magic!" Shi Feng ordered as he saw everyone in position.

The Heart Devouring Demon nodded, its sharp claws writing out a series of incantations.

Tier 2 magic, Iron Wall Enhancement!

Tier 2 magic, Blood Radiance!

Tier 2 magic, Magic Amplification!

Tier 2 magic, Mad Bull's Strength!

...

Each Tier 2 magic significantly boosted the entire team's strength. Cola's defense and HP, in particular, increased dramatically, with his defense doubling and his HP increasing by 60%, reaching over 16,000. As for the second-ranked MT, Ye Wumian, his HP was also nearly 15,000.

With the enhancement in defense, HP, and strength, even the Grand Lord ranked Azure Fire Crow King wouldn't be able to instantly kill them.

"Damn, having Tier 2 support magic is so awesome!" Blackie noticed that his magic damage and healing effects had increased by 20%, taking his output and healing to a new level.

Only then did everyone realize why Shi Feng wanted to challenge the Hell Mode difficulty. With the support of this Tier 2 magic, dealing with the Hard Mode Azure Fire Crow King was a sure thing.

"Go!" Shi Feng drew the Abyssal Blade and shouted sharply.

Cola and Ye Wumian took the lead.

When they rushed to a distance of 150 yards from the Azure Fire Crow King, it noticed Cola and Ye Wumian.

"Aww!"

The Azure Fire Crow King let out a cry, and with a flap of its wings, black feathers, each the size of a person, flew towards the two.

The dense black feathers rained down, making them impossible to dodge. Only MTs like Cola and Ye Wumian could use their huge shields to block them.

"The damage from these feathers is so high!" Cola exclaimed in surprise.

The Hard Mode feather attack only dealt about 200 to 300 damage to him. However, because of the large number of feathers, the cumulative damage was over 1,000 HP per second, which was still quite high. But now, each hit dealt 300 to 400 damage, even though their defense had doubled.

Without the support of Tier 2 magic, each hit would probably deal 700 to 800 damage.

When Cola and Ye Wumian were 50 yards away from the Azure Fire Crow King, it finally stopped its feather attack and began to gather blue flames in its mouth, spraying them towards the guardian knight Cola and the shield warrior Ye Wumian.

Cola and Ye Wumian were already used to dodging flames, and they rolled to the side, avoiding the blue flames and approaching the Azure Fire Crow King.

Shield Bash!

-1042

Smash!

-895

Cola and Ye Wumian gasped in shock.

"Damn, its defense is too strong!" Cola's eyes widened as he looked at the damage he had dealt in disbelief.

With the strength enhancement from Mad Bull's Strength, his strength had increased by 15%, and the damage dealt should have increased significantly. If it were a High Lord-ranked Azure Fire Crow King, he would have broken 1,500 damage easily, but now it was only a little over 1,000.

In the moment Cola was stunned, the Azure Fire Crow King swung its wing at Cola, who reacted quickly and raised his shield to block.

Boom!

Cola's entire knee sank into the ground, and damage exceeding 4,000 HP appeared above his head.

"The Grand Lord ranked Azure Fire Crow King is too strong!"

The rushing crowd was shocked by the scene. This damage was without a shield, and they would probably be instantly killed. If their defense hadn't doubled, the direct damage would have exceeded 8,000...

Shi Feng wasn't surprised.

Without the support of Tier 2 magic, Cola would have to directly activate Dark Power to cope, or he would be easily killed.

However, the appearance of the Heart Devouring Ghoul made this battle much easier.

"It's your turn!" Shi Feng ordered the Heart Devouring Ghoul again.

The Heart Devouring Ghoul was already prepared and pointed to the sky.

A Seven Star magic array appeared on the Azure Fire Crow King.

Tier 2 magic, Seven Stars Sanction!

Instantly, the Azure Fire Crow King let out a miserable cry.
