Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

The road ahead is still long. It's only been a dozen or so teams killing one level 17 demon, so there's no need to be overjoyed.

The key is……

Everyone was exhausted after a long night, and all they wanted to do when they got back to the library was sleep!

However, given that he killed a level 17 demon, he didn't know if he would be targeted, so the uneasy hero also stepped forward to be on guard.

Some were on guard while others slept soundly; neither side forced the other to do the same thing.

If you like being on guard, then be on guard; if you're really tired, then go to sleep.

Rest is important, but it's not always necessary.

The only risk is a mental breakdown if you don't get enough rest.

In the area where the Saintess Squad was located, Layton volunteered to take charge of guarding, while Miluko, upon returning, immediately huddled in her "fortress" made of books, clutching her bedding.

However, Lycorina and Anie, along with Mila, the captain of the Blood Warrior Squad, Samson, the captain of the Thunder Warrior Squad, and Lana, the captain of the Dragon Squad, left the library.

Head to another area where the heroes roam.

The area where the heroes led by the Halberd Hero Squad are located.

Since it's also a library, and it's within the chat group, it's not considered far for the heroes.

Upon arrival, a brave warrior waiting at the door led five people to the meeting place.

The elite warriors of this region are already here.

Leading the group were, of course, the four members of the Halberd Warriors squad.

Before long, the captains of the elite warrior squads from the other three areas also gathered here.

They all came here for the same reason.

During the battle, Rox, the "Hero of the Demons," makes an important discovery.

The reason we've gathered everyone here is probably because this matter needs to be discussed face-to-face to be clear.

The room was spacious. Some heroes stood against the wall, while others sat on the floor. All eyes were on Rox, who was at the front.

Rose stood in front of the whiteboard, looked around, and then nodded.

"Since everyone is here, I'll briefly share my findings."

Last night, our team quickly achieved the first kill of a level 17 demon.

However, killing the opponent was much harder than imagined.

"When the enemy fought us, I absorbed most of their magic and broke their own chains, and they fled in panic."

But in the end, it was still bound by us, first using a portion of half of its magic power to withstand my attack.

Later, they were attacked by our captain.

"That's what's unnatural," Rox said.

"?"

"???"

The heroes were taken aback.

Having withstood your attack, and then his attack... that's the unnatural part?

The heroes suddenly realized they might have missed half an hour of listening.

"Yes, it's very unnatural. He's too resilient. I wonder if the team that also fought the Piercer noticed it."

Seitz spoke directly;

"Even with his magic almost depleted, he still endured at least dozens of my attacks."

"Death is within my estimation; his magic power shouldn't be enough to withstand ten attacks."

“This… there really is!” One of the heroes who had achieved the first kill suddenly remembered something. “We encountered the same situation as you!”

Logically speaking, since the Piercer had consumed a lot of magic power, he should have been able to kill him easily.

But as the fight went on, the opponent's mana consumption decreased significantly!

"We encountered it too!"

"Me too!!"

The adventurers began to share the unusual things they had encountered.

As Rox listened, she nodded gently.

Sure enough, everyone encountered this situation.

Another crucial detail is one that many heroes didn't immediately notice.

That is……

After defeating the Piercers, almost no hero squad has the ability to defeat the other side.

Because of excessive consumption.

Originally, it was normal for the energy expenditure to increase when fighting a level 17 demon, so the heroes didn't pay much attention to it.

But after communicating with them, I realized...

It's only natural that the consumption would increase, but this level 17 demon suddenly became exceptionally durable in the middle of the fight.

Although I haven't become stronger, my magic consumption has clearly decreased.

Whether for attack or defense.

“Well… actually we didn’t encounter them.” Lycorina raised her hand slightly. “In my memory, we just killed them normally, and they didn’t seem to reduce their magic consumption.”

"Is it because Mr. Sword Hero is too strong?" Milai pondered for a moment.

It's true that everyone in the Saintess Squad is very strong, but it's An Yi who mainly carries out the attacks.

Under An Yi's offensive, the opponent may have become more resilient, but it's not impossible that they might not be as resilient as An Yi himself.

Swoosh∝:9∈^four；÷■?er｜※肆‰≈3⊥‖鈴务安伊 shook her head: "It has nothing to do with me, and I didn't feel that the other party's defense had become stronger."

If the opponent can achieve a stronger defense with less magic, An Yi will naturally sense something is amiss when dealing with them.

He is indeed very strong, but that doesn't mean he can completely ignore all the cards his opponent has revealed.

"Did you kill the Piercer while you were in the air?" Rox suddenly asked.

“Hmm…it seems so.” Lycorina nodded.

"That's right, they are at their original strength in the sky."

Rox further confirmed her theory by quickly drawing something on the whiteboard behind her.

She first drew a horizontal line to represent the ground, and then drew a little person on it.

Then, several arrows were drawn below the little man's feet, pointing to his feet.

"If I'm not mistaken, when he stands on the ground, the ground provides him with a certain amount of magic."

It can't replenish his magic, but it can...

Each time he uses magic, a portion of his magic power is reduced.

It should be said that it filled in part of the gap.

"If the piercer is in the sky, the magic power used each time is 10."

This was the magic he would normally use.

On the ground, however, he only needs to use 5.

The ground will give him +5, allowing him to use 10 magic power.

After Rox finished speaking, all the heroes who had fought against the Piercer or witnessed the battle suddenly remembered.

When the opponent's magic power is depleted to a certain extent, they will switch from fighting in mid-air to fighting on the ground.

However, this also reveals a piece of information—

"So, we should try to prevent the opponent from touching the ground?" one of the warriors said.

Rox nodded: "If we can reduce our consumption, we can kill more Piercers in one night."

The heroes had different thoughts, but they were all thinking about roughly the same thing.

That is to simulate in your mind how to prevent the enemy from touching the ground in a battle.

The opponent is a monster with an agility of over 100; returning to the ground would be far too easy for them.

Or perhaps, after a night of fighting, the enemy will choose to fight directly on the ground tonight?

In any case, the fact that the opponent can reduce magic consumption to some extent by standing on the ground must be taken seriously.

Calling everyone here wasn't just a simple matter to tell them to go back.

Now that this matter has been discovered, all the heroes present can recount the course of the battle.

From this, they can discern the pattern of how the other party descends from the sky to the ground.

The heroes who can be here are at least above average among heroes.

I'm no longer a newbie who just blindly follows in the footsteps of my predecessors.

An Yi secretly praised him in her heart.

The heroes of today are already searching for the "mechanics" of the demon race.

Whether it's forcing out the piercer or the piercer returning to the ground, both events occur because a hidden condition is met.

Of course, such events are not fixed.

It will also change due to changes in the Demon race's strategy.

However, just being aware that standing on the ground reduces energy consumption can be a great help in the raid.

After the meeting concluded, the heroes went to their respective libraries where they usually rested.

Meetings are necessary, but you can still rest in the afternoon after the morning meeting is over.
