Chapter 42 Terrifying Realization, Ice King is Being Tormented
Alan's eyes turned cold.
For players at any stage, being besieged at the resurrection altar was a great humiliation, especially since Alan was reborn.
Therefore, even though the pressure was immense, he still had no intention of stopping.
"Frost. Freeze!"
The potion shop owner waved his staff, and frost appeared under Alan's feet.
[You are affected by Freeze; attack speed decreased by 10%, movement speed decreased by 10%, duration five seconds.]
Alan frowned slightly; the Purification Necklace was too crucial.
Otherwise, his situation today would be even more desperate.
They seemed to have some understanding of Alan's immunity to control abilities.
When the five main NPCs being attacked by Alan lost a certain amount of health, they immediately distanced themselves to heal.
The other ten NPCs increased their attack intensity.
'War of attrition?'
Alan's eyes narrowed.
His current attributes were very strong.
The Bloodthirst Necklace could restore over two thousand health with each normal attack, and five arrows at once could restore over ten thousand health.
Moreover, being at the resurrection altar, Alan could still heal; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand their relentless bombardment.
But five arrows at once consumed a lot of mental energy, so Alan immediately switched to a single arrow.
In this way, his health would drop faster, but his mental energy consumption would be significantly reduced.
Given Alan's current abilities, as long as he didn't deliberately dodge skills, he could even slowly recover the consumed mental energy.
However, using a single arrow and not dodging caused Alan's health to drop rapidly—almost twenty thousand health per second.
With over two hundred thousand health, he could only last for a dozen seconds.
'I can't hold on!'
Alan shot five arrows at once again, increasing his health recovery to delay his death.
However, this approach only delayed the inevitable failure.
The recovery did improve significantly.
But it was still not enough to compensate for Alan's health loss.
Finally, after holding on for three minutes, Alan fell.
His level dropped from nine to eight.
Thirty seconds later, Alan resurrected at the altar.
These people didn't give him a chance to breathe, continuing their relentless bombardment of skills.
Alan felt his scalp tingle.
In both his past and present lives, except for that time when Percy schemed against him, he had never felt so aggrieved.
Alan still didn't sit idly by and continued to fight back with all his might.
He now only hoped that the Ninefold Longbow and Bloodthirst Necklace wouldn't drop.
Currently, the three most crucial pieces of equipment he had were—a Ninefold Longbow, Bloodthirst Necklace, and Purification Necklace.
The Purification Necklace was non-droppable,
But the Bloodthirst Necklace and Ninefold Longbow had a certain probability of dropping.
Therefore, this time, Alan held on for three minutes.
Just before being killed, Alan put the Ninefold Longbow and Bloodthirst Necklace into his backpack.
The drop probability of items in the backpack was lower.
Apart from that, Alan's backpack was full of items, so even if something dropped, the probability of it being the Ninefold Longbow or Bloodthirst Necklace would be very low.
Fortunately, Alan didn't drop any equipment this time.
However, he had now dropped to level seven.
Moreover, he saw that Daniel had returned.
The battles he would face next would be even more severe.
Thirty seconds later.
He resurrected.
Daniel looked at Alan coldly.
"Ice King, now you know the consequences of offending me?"
"I can torment you until you can't leave the newbie village!"
Daniel's voice was full of killing intent.
Alan sneered, "If you think you can do that, go ahead and try."
As soon as the words fell, Alan took the initiative to attack.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he only lasted three minutes in the last round.
With the help of the five-arrow shot, his maximum health had increased by over eight thousand.
These NPCs, though troublesome, had their advantages, unlike other wild monsters that died in a few hits, making it hard to stack much health.
In the next battle, Alan's true damage increased by 150 points.
But this increase was insignificant compared to the NPCs' frequent thousand-point damage.
With Daniel's participation this time, Alan lasted only a minute before falling.
The reason was simple.
Daniel used his ultimate move to instantly kill Alan when his health was above ten percent, preventing Alan from triggering the passive effect of A Withered Tree Springing to Life Again.
However, in that one minute, Alan still managed to stack two thousand health.
Currently, he could still maintain Five Arrows at Once, increasing his health by fifteen points with each normal attack.
Additionally, with Alan's attack speed of over four, he could stack sixty health per second.
Excluding factors like being controlled, Alan still managed to increase his health by two thousand in that minute.
The benefit was more healing from the Bloodthirst Necklace and an increase of sixty points in true damage from normal attacks.
At the moment, it seemed insignificant, but Alan wouldn't give up!
He aimed to accumulate small gains into significant ones.
He could resurrect infinitely, but Daniel and his team couldn't.
As for Daniel destroying the resurrection altar, that was impossible.
If Daniel destroyed the resurrection altar, the newbie village would be ruined, and his role as the village chief would be meaningless.
That was the main reason, and there was another one—if the resurrection altar was destroyed, Alan would be reborn directly in Central City upon being killed.
Judging by Daniel's current setup, it was clear he wanted to kill Alan to the point where he couldn't leave the newbie village.
For other players, this account would probably be finished.
But Alan had the super-god-level talent, The Hand of God's Retribution.
He wouldn't back down or admit defeat.
He would face them head-on!
At Endless Conquerors Club, Walter stared at his friend list, seeing Ice King, and was stunned.
He noticed that Ice King had dropped in level.
And after dropping to level nine, within fifteen minutes, he had fallen to level six!
This was clearly unscientific.
He didn't know what Alan had encountered and instinctively sent Alan a voice call.
However, Alan was still in high-intensity combat and had no time to deal with voice calls.
This time, Alan lasted a minute and a half, stacking over three thousand health.
Because Daniel's ultimate was on cooldown, Alan triggered the skill A Withered Tree Springing to Life Again.
With the help of A Withered Tree Springing to Life Again, Alan had a chance to catch his breath.
If he were to clear a game dungeon, he might only stack a few thousand health.
Now, it only took one or two minutes to gain a few thousand health.
Walter saw that Alan had dropped another level, now only at level five, and became even more worried.
What on earth was happening?
After a player died, shouldn't they resurrect at the altar?
Unless...
Walter thought of a terrifying possibility: being besieged at the resurrection altar!
'Ice King is being surrounded and attacked at the resurrection altar!'
