484 The Law of Conservation of Energy (1/2)
”F*ck!” Vainglory's face was turning pale as he completely forgot about how despicable the aggro model of this dungeon was.
”Little Chicky! Do that one more time!” Ming Du started disturbing Vainglory.
”F*ck you! You know that my skill is cooling down.” Vainglory rolled his eyes and went to hide behind Crotch Lord.
Vainglory was young but not foolish. Even he knew that charging into this crowd of monsters would certainly lead to death…
”Get into a square-shaped formation!” As the crowd of monsters approached, Fearless gave the command in the group chat.
When the Quan Zhen Sect received the orders, they immediately got into position.
This formation was a defensive measure often used by Fearless to fight when they were outnumbered. Therefore, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were not unfamiliar with this. On the other hand, the people from the Apocalypse were totally lost.
”What on earth is that?”
”Thunderlord, go to the front. Spear Dog, go to the left and the two Assassins, guard the two space behind. Mage, come beside me!” Fearless instructed the people from the Apocalypse in detail.
The fact that Nine Solitary Spears' underlings were able to get into his squad proved that they were not weak. With the clear instructions given by Fearless, everyone got into their positions in no time.
The difference between an ordinary formation and the square-shaped formation was that it was actually more of a diamond shape. The two guardians, Thunderlord and Crotchlord were positioned at the front and back respectively so as to guard any attack from the front and back. Boson and Nine Solitary Spears were placed at the two sides.
The four Thieves were positioned close to the four front-line jobs to support the attack on the monsters. The four Mages were placed right in the middle of the formation so that they could attack anytime they wanted and be well-protected.
The two Pugilists, who knew how to grapple, were placed at the front while the long-ranged Archer was placed at the back. They were specifically instructed to deal with opponents from above.
In this formation, coming together allowed them to defend while spreading out allowed them to attack. This was most appropriate for squads when faced with encirclement.
Looking at this formation, Thunderlord couldn't help but look over at Fearless in slight admiration. It seemed like this kid was not only good at tricking others. It was no wonder he could manage so many capable and extraordinary individuals under them.
After getting into position, the monsters had them completely surrounded. To their surprise, however, the monsters didn't start attacking them. Instead, they were surrounding the corpse of the leopard killed by Vainglory earlier. They were actually absorbing the black energy emerging from the corpse of the leopard.
After a short while, the corpse on the ground turned into an extremely dry corpse.
”F*ck! This is an evil cult right…” Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight of this.
”This is not an evil cult. They are absorbing the devilish magic from the corpse.” Fearless explained.
As Fearless said that, he activated his observation skill.
Indeed, there were changes to the level of magic attributes of these monsters.
Magical Transformation Level: 1% of magic absorbed. All attributes increased by 1%.
Looking at this change, Fearless turned serious and said in a stern tone, ”We must not kill these monsters by force!”
”Why not?” Everyone was just as confused as one another.
”Didn't you guys see the magical transformation level? Every time one of them died, their energy will be redistributed to the rest and the remaining monsters will become even stronger.”
Nine Solitary Spears replied in a disdainful tone, ”The death of one will only lead to an increase of 1%. Currently, there are only slightly more than hundred of them. Even if we killed all but one, the one monster left would merely be twice as strong as before. This is nothing to be afraid of!”
