SWNOVELXO Chapter 518: Sixth Rank Night Demon Set
The Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lord immediately pursued Wang Tao as it emerged, and the moment it showed its head, it was greeted by a barrage of attacks.
In an instant, the HP of the Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lord dropped by nearly a hundred thousand, one-fifth of its HP gone!
The Night Demon Lord seemed to be startled, but it was nighttime, and with its strength as a sixth-rank Lord, it naturally wouldn't back down.
Even though the Golden Eagle was much larger in size, it was ultimately just a level 5 lord, and Wang Tao was also level 5; it completely suppressed both of them in terms of level.
As for the three [Night Fiend Type III], although they emanated sixth-rank auras, it felt that the others' strength was hollow and not of a true sixth rank!
Therefore, it believed that the person in front of it was definitely no match for itself.
Wang Tao had said before that Night Demons are intelligent, but not that intelligent. If a Night Demon encounters something it can't beat, or the opponent's level is higher, it might flee. But when facing a group weaker than itself, it would definitely not run away. Whether it could win or not, it had to try to find out, after all, this was its food; having been born not long ago, it was very hungry.
However, it obviously underestimated Wang Tao and the Golden Eagle, as it quickly found itself passing away upon a trial.
A minute later, Wang Tao easily slew the Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lord and gathered a substantial number of spoils of war.
Previously, when Wang Tao killed a sixth-rank Lord Night Demon, it still took some effort. However, with the addition of the Golden Eagle, their combined battle strength was greater than the sum of their parts. It wasn't effortless, but it could certainly be described as with ease.
"Well done!"
Wang Tao patted the feathers of the Golden Eagle and then re-entered the air-raid shelter to continue hatching Night Demons.
Luck wasn't on his side this time, as he hatched only a Sixth Rank Elite, which he took care of effortlessly right inside the air-raid shelter.
"Let's try to simultaneously hatch two..."
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Tao decided to be bolder.
He and the Golden Eagle could suppress a Sixth-Rank Night Demon Lord in combat, not giving it any chance to retaliate or escape.
If they faced two Sixth-Rank Night Demon Lords at the same time, there shouldn't be any significant problems.
However, any more than that would be unmanageable. After all, they were sixth-rank Lords; their strength demanded a degree of respect. It was still better to play it safe.
Soon, two Night Demons were hatched.
This time, one was a Sixth Rank Elite and the other a Sixth Rank Lord.
While the Night Demons were still unable to make sense of the situation, Wang Tao went all out with his firepower, instantly annihilating the Sixth Rank Elite, and then ran off without looking back.
The Night Demon Lord finally reacted and chased after him directly, but its fate was the same as its predecessor's; after Wang Tao ambushed it, its skull was quickly breached.
"Thrilling! Keep going!"
Wang Tao didn't feel tired at all, the sense of achievement and spoils of war from hunting sixth-rank Lords fueled his enthusiasm.
On the third hatching attempt, he finally hatched two Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lords at the same time.
When Wang Tao lured both out, he and the Golden Eagle spent about three to four minutes to thoroughly kill them.
The combined fighting power of two Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lords was indeed not something a single Night Demon could match, but still, the problem was manageable. While killing one Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lord took one minute, killing two took three to four minutes—it seemed like more time was spent, but he saved hatching time. The hatching was the most time-consuming; by the time he slew the fourth Night Demon Lord, it was already dawn.
"Rest during the day, fight at night."
Wang Tao locked the air-raid shelter's door and had the Golden Eagle fly back to Changhe Base.
Ding Yuqin and the others were still inside the Rift, with two little ferrets and several Black Snakes joining them in the fight. Only Wang Tao, Lightning, and the Golden Eagle were left at home.
After preparing meat for the Golden Eagle and Lightning, Wang Tao started checking the spoils of war.
Most of the spoils were similar to before, with the main difference being in the Blueprints. This time he finally obtained Equipment Blueprints, although several were duplicates: a helmet, Chest Armor, and a belt—it wasn't enough to assemble a full set.
Although the Sixth Rank Night Demon Equipment didn't offer any new functionalities compared to level 5's, all of its attributes were significantly enhanced. It was much stronger than level 5 equipment.
However, Wang Tao's Fifth Order Night Demon Equipment was bound to the Fifth Order Night Demon Ring and couldn't be used separately. If he wore Sixth Rank Night Demon Equipment, he would not be able to use other pieces of level 5 Night Demon Equipment because he had given away other pieces of level 5 Night Demon Equipment to others. His only alternative would be to equip level 4 gear, but the attributes of the level 4 gear were far too inferior.
But the problem wasn't big, given the current situation, after killing a few more Sixth-Rank Night Fiend Lords, he could assemble a full set. There was no rush to switch to a complete set of Sixth Rank Equipment.
After tallying the spoils of war, Wang Tao took a nap and woke up as night was about to fall.
With the previous night's experience, Wang Tao was even more adept today. However, due to the limited hatching time, he still couldn't increase his hunting speed. In fact, today was even less productive than yesterday; before dawn, Wang Tao only hunted three Night Demon Lords.
The good news, though, was that he finally assembled a complete Night Demon Set, except for the Weapons!
He didn't need Weapons; neither daggers nor Daggers suited him – his Iron Shatter Spear worked just fine, and there was no need to switch for the time being.
Eager to get started, Wang Tao began crafting, and soon after, all the Blueprints turned into Equipment. He immediately put the Night Demon Equipment into the Sixth Rank Night Demon Ring; the crafting of an entire Sixth Rank Night Demon Set was complete!
