"Damn it."
Lü Luo cursed under her breath. She realized that if she didn't provide fire support to Kuang Gu, he would likely flee.
After all, self-preservation was the most important thing.
There were seventeen long-range Contractor professionals on the mountaintop, and four melee Contractor professionals serving as guards. Lü Luo hesitated for a moment, then ordered ten of the long-range Contractor professionals to defend, while the rest provided support to Kuang Gu down the mountain.
After all, Figlet's knight order was indeed elite, and relying solely on a group of bandits and those melee Contractors was indeed a bit strenuous.
The firepower had decreased?
Qin Jie keenly sensed a significant drop in the attack frequency. Honestly, the original dense attack frequency couldn't stop his advance, and now that it was weakened, it was even less capable of stopping him.
The only tricky one was the archer; his damage was very high, capable of depleting a considerable amount of Qin Jie's shield value with a single arrow.
At this rate, if the opponent continued attacking for ten minutes, Qin Jie's shield would likely burst.
It was important to know that as the maximum health increased, the strength of the shield value would also increase. With Qin Jie's 30 points of stamina, plus the use of resurrection medicine, his maximum health had reached a terrifying level, so much so that even acting as an apostle wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Bang!"
Flames erupted, and the Sword Shadow beside Qin Jie was shot apart. The opponent seemed to be intentionally attacking Qin Jie's Sword Shadow. Qin Jie guessed that perhaps the opponent's camp had reconnaissance equipment, allowing them to see that Qin Jie spent 25% of his health to summon the Sword Shadow.
This Sword Shadow had the same attributes as Qin Jie's main body, thus buying Qin Jie a lot of time. At this moment, he was less than 100 meters away from the enemy position.
[Tip: You are affected by Earth's Shackles. Based on the difference in stamina between both parties, your speed is reduced by 0.37%]
[Tip: You are affected by Mental Curse. Based on the difference in willpower between both parties, you have exempted this curse.]
[Tip: You are affected by Intellectual Storm. Based on the difference in intelligence between both parties, your maximum mana value has been deducted by 13%]
[Tip: You are affected by Mirror Reflection. Based on the difference in charm between both parties, your actions will be subject to some interference.]
As the distance shortened, a large number of debuffs were applied to Qin Jie, and Qin Jie felt as if his attributes had decreased slightly.
The reason he said 'as if' was because the negative effects of these curses were actually negligible.
In the distance, bright lights could already be seen, and a large number of Spells were shot from the front, some directly at Qin Jie, and others aimed at the position below.
Although the opponent did not cause effective damage to Qin Jie, being attacked all the way was indeed not a pleasant experience, and it also brought back bad memories for Qin Jie.
Back when he had just finished the trial world, he had been bombarded by mages like this in the arena.
Qin Jie drew the devouring abyss, then used Headless Divine Descent, strengthening his attack power. In the final hundred meters, he began to sprint.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow once again whistled through the air from a distance. Because the surrounding environment was no longer dim, Qin Jie could now clearly see the direction the arrow came from. He saw a sharp-eared man standing in the distance, holding a bow and arrow in his hand. The previous attacks had come from him.
Beside the man were two shield-wielding, armor-clad Contractors, who appeared to be tanks meant to absorb damage.
Previously, in the JOJO world, Qin Jie had encountered an adventure party and annihilated them all head-on.
At that time, he had roughly understood the composition of an adventure party, which was generally divided into four categories: tank, damage dealer, healer, and support.
The stat distribution for these four categories was mostly easy to guess. For example, a tank's primary attributes were basically stamina and strength, with less emphasis on agility and intelligence.
In other words, these tanks actually had relatively low reaction capabilities.
Qin Jie, enraged, looked at Yīng Shì and suddenly grinned.
Under such a smile, Yīng Shì immediately felt a chill run through his body, but the two sides had already reached a point of no return, with no room for retreat.
However, Qin Jie actually removed his shield on the spot and looked directly at the incoming arrow.
This naturally triggered the passive effect of the Eye of Insight.
Everything around slowed down, but the arrow's movement speed was still very fast. However, Qin Jie could now clearly see the arrow's trajectory.
He suddenly reached out and directly caught the arrow, then, using its powerful impact, he spun around and actually threw the arrow back at an even faster speed.
This was simply too fast. Although Yīng Shì's dynamic vision was enhanced by the blessing of elven blood, his body could not react effectively in time. He could only move slightly, then watched helplessly as the arrow flew rapidly towards him.
"Bang!"
The arrow was originally flying towards his heart, but Qin Jie's aim was slightly off, and Yīng Shì adjusted his position, so it only hit his shoulder.
But Qin Jie's force was so great that with just a graze, Yīng Shì's entire arm was directly shot off, and a large amount of blood sprayed out. Not only that, the violent impact also detonated the explosives on the arrow.
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded, and Yīng Shì flew out, charred all over, then lay on the ground, his life unknown. The tanks nearby only then realized what had happened, but the impact of the explosion made them lose their balance for a moment.
"Yīng Shì!"
Lü Luo exclaimed, then hurriedly ran towards the blown-away Yīng Shì, while commanding,
"Iron Mountain, stop him! Everyone else, focus fire on the target!"
Qin Jie took the opportunity to close in rapidly. He originally intended to go straight for the back-row mages but suddenly received a prompt.
[Affected by Chains of Order, movement range is restricted.]
A silver-white chain suddenly shot straight towards Qin Jie. This thing seemed to have an auto-lock function. Qin Jie didn't dodge, and then he felt a heavy sensation in his body.
The one who unleashed the chain was a tank-class Contractor covered in armor. His armor weighed hundreds of pounds, making him look like an iron can.
Such attire made even moving incredibly difficult, but this Chain of Order could forcibly link enemies to him, allowing them to move only within a 10-meter radius around him. Exceeding this range would incur a movement speed penalty and force them to drag this Contractoralong.
"Heh heh, if you want to hurt my teammates, you'll have to get past me first."
After uttering an extremely chuunibyou line, Iron Mountain immediately put up his shield and hunkered down. He was very confident in his defense, believing that Qin Jie would be blown to death by the mages' skills before Iron Mountain himself was defeated.
However, Qin Jie's devouring abyss transformed into its greatsword form in his hand. Looking at Iron Mountain, who was defending with his shield, he suddenly raised the devouring abyss and slammed it down onto Iron Mountain.
"Bang!"
A huge impact struck, and the next moment, large cracks appeared on the ground beneath Iron Mountain's feet. He was actually slammed several centimeters into the earth by Qin Jie.
