quack quack!
The two demonic children danced and laughed raucously, seemingly mocking Ark for foolishly wasting its mental energy.
Seeing this, Fang Zhou pointed his staff and shouted, "Explode!"
With a loud bang, the two bone spears embedded in the arrow tower exploded under his command.
This is the explosive attribute that the Bone Spear gained after absorbing the Fireball spell; I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Caught off guard, the arrow tower where the two demon children were located was destroyed by the force of the explosion.
With a series of cries of agony, they plummeted from mid-air and crashed heavily into the camp.
Unfortunately, the abyssal demons are thick-skinned and possess great vitality.
Although the two Abyss Demon Children were severely injured, they had not lost their fighting ability.
However, without the arrow towers for cover, they could no longer cast spells on the ark with the same impunity as before.
Without the interference of the demon child, the 40 skeletons quickly assembled.
With a wave of the Ark Staff, they surged towards the lesser demon camp like a tide.
Awooo!
Under the command of the demon child, the six little demons raised their steel forks and firmly blocked the wooden fence.
The imp's steel fork can inflict massive damage on unarmed skeletons.
The skeleton, unarmed and separated by a fence, could only passively take the beating.
The two demonic children also cunningly hid behind the fence, and suddenly unleashed several blasphemous rays at the sea of skeletons, each one incapacitating a skeleton.
However, the sheer number of skeletons left these lesser demons helpless.
Under Ark's command, the 40 skeletons fought fearlessly, determined to destroy the camp's wooden fence.
With the help of the skeletal spears, after the deaths of seven skeletons, a gap was quickly torn in the wooden fence on the left.
Ark astutely seized the opportunity and quickly deployed the remaining skeletons to the breach.
One of the lesser demons immediately stepped forward, trying to plug the gap with its body, but Ark seized the opportunity and killed it instantly with a bone spear that pierced its chest.
The death of the first lesser demon led to a domino effect that followed.
Ark's greatest strength lies in overwhelming the enemy with numbers.
Before long, a tidal wave of skeletons surged into the camp.
The few remaining lesser demons huddled together, fighting desperately.
With his mind focused on the historical speed rankings, Ark saw that the time was ripe and no longer conserved his mental energy.
He directly activated the [Composure] skill, which had reached the [Proficient] level, and his mental energy recovered by 20% out of thin air.
Immediately afterwards, several skeletal spears materialized and hurtled towards the Lesser Demons' battle group.
puff!puff!puff!
Amidst the demons' despairing gazes, the lesser demon standing in front of them was pierced through the body by a flying bone spear.
Although some of them were not in vital areas, the subsequent explosions easily took their lives.
As the last demon child cried out in its final moments, Ark breathed a sigh of relief.
The difficulty of the Abyss is indeed terrifying.
Even with his formidable strength, comprehensive skill set, and numerous skeleton cannon fodder, he still had to use every trick in the book to clear the level.
I wonder what method Ye Fan, Gu Zhi Qiu, and the others will use to clear the level?
As the entire camp was reduced to ruins, a pleasant notification sounded.
"Mission completed, time taken: 6 minutes and 30 seconds, completion rating: [Perfect], reward: 6 contribution points."
"First clear of the [Little Demon Camp] Abyss difficulty, earning the first clear reward of 8 contribution points."
"Congratulations, Corporal Ark! You are the first student in your grade to clear the Abyss difficulty of the [Little Inferior Demon Camp]. You have earned the grade's first clear ranking reward of 20 contribution points and the achievement blessing: Simulated Battlefield loot drop rate +1% (cumulative 5%)."
"Congratulations, Corporal Ark! You cleared the [Little Inferior Demon Camp] Abyss difficulty in 6 minutes and 30 seconds, ranking 1st on the all-time speedrun leaderboard. You are expected to receive 12 contribution points as a ranking reward this month."
"Triggered a loot drop, obtained 1 [Level 1 Sapphire], which can be exchanged for 10 contribution points."
Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing a series of pleasant prompts.
Playing from easy difficulty to abyss difficulty consecutively is quite a challenge for him.
Fortunately, the result satisfied him greatly.
He achieved the first clear of all four difficulty levels in his grade and the fastest clear in history.
With this kind of performance, there's absolutely no problem getting selected for the seeding list.
Ark then reviewed the gains from these four dungeons.
Not counting the Fireball skill book that has already been used up and the level 1 sapphire whose use is currently unknown, his net contribution points totaled 110, which is more than the reward he would have earned from painstakingly developing a new skill.
Fangzhou smiled.
The first completion of the simulated battlefield does not consume an attempt, which means he still has one more challenge attempt today.
The military academy's technicians just told him that the simulated battlefield for apprentices won't be open until tomorrow.
Ark plans to strike while the iron is hot and raid the Abyss-level [Lesser Demon Camp] again.
He paid 4 contribution points as an entrance fee once again and walked into the portal with practiced ease.
The familiar lawn, the familiar camp, the familiar eight demons.
Amidst their familiar wails, the Ark once again easily cleared the level.
"Mission completed, time taken: 6 minutes and 20 seconds, completion rating: [Perfect], reward: 6 contribution points."
"Congratulations, Corporal Ark! You cleared the [Little Inferior Demon Camp] Abyss difficulty in 6 minutes and 20 seconds, ranking 1st on the all-time speedrun leaderboard. You are expected to receive 12 contribution points as a ranking reward this month."
This time, the completion time was 10 seconds less than the last time, making Ark's record as the fastest race in history even more unshakeable.
The only downside was that the drop reward wasn't triggered this time.
What a delightful battle journey!
"Let's continue tomorrow," Fangzhou glanced back at the portal, then exited the simulated battlefield.
......
Stepping out of the simulation pod, Fangzhou was startled by the bustling training ground.
A group of trainees surrounded his simulator, their eyes filled with fervor.
"The Ark is out!"
"My god, I want to give birth to a skeleton for you!"
"Arknights expert, I'm beautiful, have a sweet voice, and can both fight and heal! Carry me through the upcoming team battles!"
Uh... Fangzhou looked at these excited classmates with a black line on his face.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaochun quickly rushed out of the crowd and got him out of the predicament.
She put her hands on her hips and shouted at the crowd, "Alright, alright, everyone spread out a bit."
Ark has been fighting for so long, he must be exhausted. Let him rest.
The cadets at Haicheng Military Academy are quite well-mannered.
They obediently dispersed, but the way they looked at the ark, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was still full of admiration and awe.
Of the nearly 10,000 first-year students, less than 1000 were able to clear the [Little Demon Camp] on normal difficulty.
Only a handful of people are able to clear the difficult difficulty level.
This fully demonstrates the immense difficulty of the [Lesser Demon Camp].
But all of this seems to be completely invalid for the Ark.
