Chapter 484 The Law of Conservation of Energy

"F*ck!" Vainglory’s face was turning pale as he completely forgot about how despicable the aggro model of this dungeon was.

"Little Chicky! Do that one more time!" Ming Du started disturbing Vainglory.

"F*ck you! You know that my skill is cooling down." Vainglory rolled his eyes and went to hide behind Crotch Lord.

Vainglory was young but not foolish. Even he knew that charging into this crowd of monsters would certainly lead to death...

"Get into a square-shaped formation!" As the crowd of monsters approached, Fearless gave the command in the group chat.

When the Quan Zhen Sect received the orders, they immediately got into position.

This formation was a defensive measure often used by Fearless to fight when they were outnumbered. Therefore, the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were not unfamiliar with this. On the other hand, the people from the Apocalypse were totally lost.

"What on earth is that?"

"Thunderlord, go to the front. Spear Dog, go to the left and the two Assassins, guard the two space behind. Mage, come beside me!" Fearless instructed the people from the Apocalypse in detail.

The fact that Nine Solitary Spears’ underlings were able to get into his squad proved that they were not weak. With the clear instructions given by Fearless, everyone got into their positions in no time.

The difference between an ordinary formation and the square-shaped formation was that it was actually more of a diamond shape. The two guardians, Thunderlord and Crotchlord were positioned at the front and back respectively so as to guard any attack from the front and back. Boson and Nine Solitary Spears were placed at the two sides.

The four Thieves were positioned close to the four front-line jobs to support the attack on the monsters. The four Mages were placed right in the middle of the formation so that they could attack anytime they wanted and be well-protected.

The two Pugilists, who knew how to grapple, were placed at the front while the long-ranged Archer was placed at the back. They were specifically instructed to deal with opponents from above.

In this formation, coming together allowed them to defend while spreading out allowed them to attack. This was most appropriate for squads when faced with encirclement.

Looking at this formation, Thunderlord couldn’t help but look over at Fearless in slight admiration. It seemed like this kid was not only good at tricking others. It was no wonder he could manage so many capable and extraordinary individuals under them.

After getting into position, the monsters had them completely surrounded. To their surprise, however, the monsters didn’t start attacking them. Instead, they were surrounding the corpse of the leopard killed by Vainglory earlier. They were actually absorbing the black energy emerging from the corpse of the leopard.

After a short while, the corpse on the ground turned into an extremely dry corpse.

"F*ck! This is an evil cult right..." Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight of this.

"This is not an evil cult. They are absorbing the devilish magic from the corpse." Fearless explained.

As Fearless said that, he activated his observation skill.

Indeed, there were changes to the level of magic attributes of these monsters.

Magical Transformation Level: 1% of magic absorbed. All attributes increased by 1%.

Looking at this change, Fearless turned serious and said in a stern tone, "We must not kill these monsters by force!"

"Why not?" Everyone was just as confused as one another.

"Didn’t you guys see the magical transformation level? Every time one of them died, their energy will be redistributed to the rest and the remaining monsters will become even stronger."

Nine Solitary Spears replied in a disdainful tone, "The death of one will only lead to an increase of 1%. Currently, there are only slightly more than hundred of them. Even if we killed all but one, the one monster left would merely be twice as strong as before. This is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Retard! Do you even know anything about the law of conservation of energy?" Fearless rolled his eyes at Nine Solitary Spears.

Nine Solitary Spears refuted, "Stop wasting my time! What has this got to do with the conservation of energy?"

Fearless pointed at the monster in front, "If there are over a hundred monster and every monster’s level of magical transformation increase by 1%, this means that every monster has about 100% magic. If we assumed that there are only one hundred monsters, this value will be 10000%. Twice as strong? Did your music teacher teach you science?"

"This..." Nine Solitary Spears could feel his hair standing as he heard Fearless’ explanation.

According to ordinary games in the past, Nine Solitary Spears’ train of thought wasn’t wrong. However, Fearless’ explanation about the law of conservation of energy made perfect sense too. Moreover, from the previous stages of this dungeon, Fearless’ explanation seemed much more probable.

If Fearless was right and the last monster’s attributes increased to 100000%, this would mean a hundred times increase in strength. If all its attributes increased by 100 times, Vainglory might be the one killed in an instant. Additionally, these monsters were not the only one on this route. If they really killed their way through, the consequences would be unimaginable. The designers of > were truly out to kill every player.

"So what should we do?" Thunderlord frowned and asked. Honestly speaking, Thunderlord thought of the same thing as Nine Solitary Spears. Now that Fearless explained it this way, he started to fear what was coming their way.

"How will I know?" Fearless replied in a bad mood.

The system only told them to purify but didn’t tell them how to. Fearless was not a dungeon’s how-to guide so how was he supposed to guess the system’s method.

"They’re coming over!"

As they were conversing, the monsters in front started heading towards the squad after absorbing the energy. The closest monster was already less than 3 metres away from Thunderlord, who was at the front of the formation.

As Thunderlord heard the warning, he quickly came back to his senses. The Sunset Leopard, closest to the squad, started taunting them.

After being taunted, the Sunset Leopard was pulled in front of Thunderlord. Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher attacked simultaneously as they executed their own skill on this monster. In an instant, this Sunset Leopard was killed.

After the corpse of the Sunset Leopard landed on the ground, it started releasing the same energy as before. All the other monsters around it stopped in their tracks as they started absorbing the energy.

"Eh? This energy feels a little strange." The sharp Wang Yu suddenly felt that something was amiss, "Why was the majority of the energy heading more towards Frost Blade?"

"?"

Everyone looked over when they heard Wang Yu and indeed, the majority of the energy was heading towards Frost Blade while the minority was floating towards the monsters. The energy enveloped Frost Blade.

"F*ck! What is going on?"

Frost Blade was shocked at this sudden increase in magic around him. As the magic around him increased, Frost Blade started displaying a magic invasion state.

Magic Invasion State: Progress 12%, Increase in attack 12%. After 50% invasion, the player will enter a state of disorder.

"Do you have any tools that can purify the magic?" Fearless asked out of curiosity.

"I don’t... If I do, I wouldn’t be invaded by these magic. Crap! The progress is at 27% now so please think of a solution fast! Otherwise, please don’t blame me if I start attacking you guys." Frost Blade started panicking.

State of disorder meant that the player would be mentally confused. A person who entered the state of disorder would lose their control over their body and not know who the enemy and allies were. This was a pain in the ass control skill.

"Is the Heart of Darkness with you?" At this moment, Darknorth Fisher suddenly mentioned this.

"Heart of Darkness? Yes yes yes, it is with me!" Frost Blade’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly took out the Heart of Darkness from his bag. He asked, "Could this thing be acting up?"
