Chapter 063: Finally All Collected!
Before long, all the monsters emerged from the mist.
The monster configuration at each of the three spawn points is the same: five skeleton warriors, three skeleton mages, and three skeleton archers.
That means there were a total of 33 monsters in one wave.
Compared to the hard difficulty, the nightmare difficulty is several times more difficult.
The number of monsters has more than doubled, and the monster attributes in Nightmare difficulty are far greater than those in Hard difficulty.
The combination of these two factors instantly turned Nightmare difficulty into a true nightmare.
"This is a good thing," Su Yu said with a big smile.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish; he especially likes dungeons with a large number of monsters.
At this rate, he'll soon be able to upgrade Lightning Arrow to level 41, at which point his monster-killing efficiency will improve even further.
Lightning Bolt!
Su Yu drew his longbow to a full moon, and a thunderous arrow quietly materialized.
call out!
In an instant, the lightning arrow ripped through the void like a bolt of lightning.
boom!
-102858! (Critical Hit)
Zi la la!

……
Arcs of electricity crackled wildly, clearing out all the monsters at the northern spawn point in the blink of an eye.
Successfully defeated a level 10 skeleton warrior (normal difficulty). Gained 200 experience points, 400 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
Successfully defeated a level 10 Skeleton Archer (Normal difficulty). Gained 200 experience points, 400 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
……
System notifications kept ringing in Su Yu's ears.
"At the current pace, we should be able to upgrade Lightning Arrow after clearing the 9th wave of monsters."
"Hopefully, the level 40 trait of Lightning Bolt will be quite powerful." A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Currently, there are three spawn points in Nightmare difficulty, and it takes three Lightning Arrows to clear a wave of monsters, which is quite time-consuming.
He hoped that Lightning Bolt's level 40 trait would increase the arc's bounce radius, allowing him to clear the field in one shot.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it. The characteristics of skills are really unpredictable. Unless there is a very obvious pattern, it is difficult to predict.
About two or three minutes later.
"Finally cleared out the 9th wave of monsters, time to upgrade Lightning Arrow," Su Yu said with a smile.
In Nightmare difficulty, an additional elite monster will appear every three waves.
The spawn point to the north is filled with elite skeleton warriors, while the spawn point to the south is filled with elite skeleton mages, just like on the hard difficulty.
The newly added western spawn point is now staffed with elite skeleton archers.
After defeating these 9 waves of monsters, Su Yu gained a total of 309 skill points.
Adding the previous 1099 skill points, you now have a total of 1408 skill points, which is more than enough to upgrade Lightning Bolt.
With a thought, Su Yu immediately began to upgrade the level of Lightning Arrow.
[You have spent 124 skill points, increasing your Lightning Bolt level. Current level: 32!]
……
[You have spent 160 skill points, increasing your Lightning Bolt level. Current level: 41!]
【lv41 Lightning Arrow (Silver): Active skill, fires a lightning arrow, dealing 1300+Physical Attack Power*320% lightning damage to the target, with a certain probability of causing paralysis.
After Lightning Bolt hits a target, it can jump between up to twenty-one targets (each target can only take damage once), with subsequent damage reduced by 4% each time.
Costs 250 mana, 6-second cooldown.
[Level 40 Trait: If Lightning Bolt's jump damage kills the target, the skill cooldown is reduced by 0.25 seconds.]
"Hahaha, although the level 40 trait of Lightning Bolt doesn't increase the arc's bounce range, it's still better than the former," Su Yu laughed loudly.
Lightning Bolt's level 40 trait means that as long as the Arc kills 12 targets, the skill's cooldown will be reduced to zero.
It's like Lightning Bolt has entered a state of no cost and no cooldown, which is no different from playing a hacked version of the game.
Currently, the level 41 Lightning Bolt skill has a 6-second cooldown.
After killing the first target, 50% of the cooldown is refunded, reducing the skill cooldown to 3 seconds.
Assuming 11 monsters per spawn point, if Arcane Shot kills 10 monsters, it can reduce the cooldown of Lightning Bolt by 2.5 seconds.
This means the final skill cooldown is only 0.5 seconds.
Compared to the previous 3.5-second skill cooldown, this is a world of difference.
This means that Su Yu will only need about one second to clear out a wave of monsters.
It almost caught up with the speed at which I completed the game on normal difficulty again.
About three or four minutes later.
A notification sound suddenly rang in Su Yu's ears.
[The final boss, 'Skeleton Warrior Grand Commander,' will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds. Please wait patiently in place.]
"Not bad, we've gained a total of 1020 skill points this round, which is quite a haul." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
He hadn't had such a bountiful harvest since leaving the Goblin Plains instance.
Basically, you're lucky if you can get a few hundred skill points after running a dungeon once.
Soon, the thirty-second countdown ended.
A skeletal warrior commander, roughly four meters tall, emerged from the mist at the northern troop deployment point.
There was still only one final boss, and no other unexpected events occurred.
Soul-Severing Arrow!
Su Yu drew his longbow to a full moon, and four green Soul-Severing Arrows shot through the air in an instant.
boom! boom! boom!
-159668! (Critical Hit)
-159668! (Critical Hit)
……
The Skeleton Warrior Commander had just over 600,000 health points, which were instantly wiped out by the Soul-Severing Arrow.
It directly triggered its rebirth passive ability.
A short while later, the Skeleton Warrior Commander successfully revived, but only with 70% of his health remaining.
It's slightly stronger than the Skeleton Warrior Commander on Hard difficulty.
On Hard difficulty, the Skeleton Warrior Commander only has 50% health after being resurrected.
However, whether it's 50% or 70%, it makes no difference to Su Yu, since it's all something that can be solved with a single Soul-Severing Arrow.
Before long, four more green Soul-Severing Arrows pierced the void and hurtled toward the Skeleton Warrior Commander.
boom! boom! boom!
-159668! (Critical Hit)
-159668! (Critical Hit)
……
The Skeleton Warrior Commander, who had just been resurrected and hadn't even taken a few steps, was instantly killed.
In this tower defense game-like instance, Su Yu's advantage was simply too great; the monsters had absolutely no chance to get close to the Destiny Crystal.
Successfully defeated the level 10 Skeleton Warrior Commander (Silver Rank), gaining 15000 experience points, 30 silver coins, and 1 skill point.
Your completion certificate (Hard difficulty) has been upgraded to completion certificate (Nightmare difficulty).
[A global announcement is coming soon. Should I hide my nickname?]
"No hiding!" Su Yu made his choice without hesitation.
Immediately, six world announcements rang in the ears of all players on Blue Star.
