Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2176 - 991: Powerful Enemy Attacks? Home Delivery?
Several Super Skeleton Minotaurs couldn’t stop in time while clearing the undead servants around the Death Stalker and crashed into the Death Stalker’s body.
The Death Stalker didn’t even move an inch.
The remains at the impact site scattered everywhere, with the Super Skeleton Minotaur almost embedded into the Death Stalker’s body.
For the Death Stalker, whose size is measured in tens of meters, such damage is nothing more than a superficial injury.
However, for the Super Skeleton Minotaur, the powerful backlash almost shattered its upper body.
Easy to get in, hard to get out.
Bones from all directions entangled it, serving like a cage, tightly binding it within the Death Stalker’s body.
The most deadly part was the feeling of a soul toxin being injected into their Soul Fire, causing the Super Skeleton Minotaurs to lose control over their skeleton.
Under the forces of squeezing and automatic transformation, their skeletons intertwined with surrounding bone remains, eventually merging together, to the point where even their Soul Fire was devoured, becoming part of the larger collective.
Only the blood-red mark resembling a Skeleton Minotaur indicated that this Super Skeleton Minotaur had once existed.
And this part was clearly thicker and sturdier than the rest.
For Death Stalkers, these patched-together corpse monsters, the devoured remains are an important component of their bodily strength.
A Death Stalker made of numerous Skeleton Soldier remains would be vastly different in strength from one composed of Giant remains or Dragon Bones.
This difference is not simply about stronger defensive power but also involves their growth mechanism.
Just like with the Dog Demon, once it grows to a certain extent, devouring ordinary souls no longer provides additional growth.
The same goes for Death Stalkers; only by replacing the corpses in their body with stronger remains can they grow more Life Dice, and even awaken unique abilities, leaving the realm of ordinary Death Stalkers.
This discrepancy in size is not only evident in the Super Skeleton Minotaur but also in Gaven’s Berserk Blue Bear Incarnation.
A size difference of twice as much made Gaven no longer dare to charge recklessly as before, instead using speed to engage in guerrilla tactics, specifically targeting the Death Stalker’s slender bone claws.
As long as he could land a hit, there was basically no suspense; it would break on the spot.
If he couldn’t hit solidly, he would try to grab a handful, using the bear’s paw to send several corpses flying off the Death Stalker’s body.
However, this Bone Spire was simply too massive, and Gaven felt that such damage was just tickling it, unable to harm its innards at all.
Moreover, the battlefield was extremely advantageous for it.
Just rolling on the ground would engulf a massive amount of bones into its body.
Gaven couldn’t find the scars that were inflicted on it last time.
Once or twice, he could attribute it to bones wrapping into its body, or shifting to another side for explanation.
If this continued for dozens of rounds, even Gaven couldn’t help but scratch his head, racking his brains to think of any move that could deliver a fatal blow to such a shameless enemy.
Thinking back and forth, he couldn’t come up with any decent strategies.
To deal with enemies of such overpowering size, there are generally two tactics.
The first one is the method Gaven used several times before.
Use the Five-Willow Transformation to even out the size difference, then brutally smash him with the War Ravager.
Currently, that move is unusable.
Not only is the War Ravager not by his side, but Five-Willow also cannot be summoned.
Just like the Shadow Summoning of the War Ravager uses the Shadow Plane as a conduit, Five-Willow’s natural summoning relies on the power of the Fairy Wilderness, and only works on planes connected to the Fairy Wilderness.
The Berserk Blue Bear Transformation, though sizable, is constrained by its form, able to use some martial arts or palm techniques but forgetting about melee weapons.
This is a common drawback of transforming into animals.
The second common tactic is teamwork.
Have those in melee classes pin down the Death Stalker, while those with powerful spellcasting abilities unleash strong attack spells to blast it.
No need for Legendary Spells; many Eighth Ring and Ninth Ring Spells are enough to give the Death Stalker a run for its money.
Therefore, the Death Stalker’s Challenge Rating isn’t very high, and an Advanced Transcendent Adventure Squad could potentially take it down.
But unfortunately, Gaven couldn’t use this tactic either.
He is indeed an Advanced Transcendent Spellcaster.
But the problem is, his spellcasting abilities are more like a half-baked one, not having studied those complex high-level attack spells yet.
Even the assisting Dog Demon sensed Gaven’s awkward situation and offered advice via Psychic Whisper: "These undead are attacking en masse, their territory must be undefended, why not let me follow their trail to find their Soul Pool.
At that time, Lord, you could teleport over using me as a spatial coordinate and control them by controlling their Soul Pool."
Hearing this, Gaven was overjoyed and said: "That’s a great plan, if it succeeds, our defense this time is secure, and I’ll credit you greatly for this."
The binding of these mid-to-low undead lords to the Soul Pool is both their advantage and disadvantage.
Before gaining control of the Soul Pool, even Slaughter Divine Power couldn’t control them.
Conversely, as long as the Soul Pool is controlled, even if they are at full health, they would have to bow to Gaven.
"Wait for my good news, Lord," the Dog Demon replied, accelerating and dashing out at full speed.
He is not merely canine in appearance.
He possesses all the capabilities of canine species; his sense of smell is incredibly sharp.
Moreover, he has abilities that canine species do not possess. His Transcendent Perception ability is called Fearless Tracking, allowing infinite distance tracking in the same plane once a creature’s scent is locked.
This kind of tracking can not only be forward-directed but also reverse-traced according to the scents they leave behind.
Especially for monsters like the Death Stalker, which are enormous and have a strong odor.
Even without these auxiliary abilities, following the trail they left on the ground while they came would easily lead us to their lair.
The rugged bone terrain of the Plains of Bone didn’t pose any challenge for the lupine Dog Demon; with a light leap, he could cover dozens of meters.
His Dexterity Transcendent Ability is known as As If On Level Ground, so even in extreme terrains, his running isn’t affected and feels like being on flat ground.
With the dual blessings of the Road Divine Power and Transcendent Body, his speed easily exceeds 150 kilometers per hour.
He wouldn’t claim to be the strongest Dog Demon, but being the fastest, he could certainly announce with pride.
