As a hero, he was endowed with both True Damage and Divine Damage. Ten frost arrows instantly pierced the banshee’s chest, with divine damage burning inside her and fierce frost spreading over her surface.
Behind Lin Rui, everyone charged forward and launched attacks on the banshee. Warhammers, long halberds, and claws attacked from various angles.
Having sustained so much damage, the banshee immediately let out a sharp, wailing scream.
A green vengeful spirit emerged in the darkness, coalescing beside the banshee, and the Spiritual Energy within her instantly swelled by over ten percent.
Under this terrifying Spiritual Energy power, the banshee raised her hand to unleash a skill that Lin Rui had not detected.
Three green Soul Chains linked to Lin Rui, Terion, and Death’s Claw respectively.
Death’s Claw’s Life Value quickly plummeted, while the banshee’s Life Value continuously increased, even her Life Value Limit was constantly being exceeded.
Terion immediately threw a Spiritual Energy-imbued warhammer, intending to stun the banshee and interrupt her life siphoning.
However, although the banshee fell into a brief stun, the Soul Chain was never severed, and her Life Value Limit continued to rise rapidly.
At this point in the battle, not only had they failed to bleed the banshee, but her Life Value had increased considerably compared to before the fight.
Lin Rui’s face was solemn, he quickly commanded, "Terion and Death’s Claw, retreat immediately, everyone else, full output."
Although the soldiers’ physical output wasn’t effective against the banshee, under Lin Rui’s command, their attacks carried Divine Damage, enabling effective output. Additionally, Lin Rui’s Commander Trait was highly suitable for dealing with such formidable enemies. When soldiers’ blades struck the opponent, a Frost Bite BUFF was formed, reaching 20 layers would freeze the opponent for 1 second, and cause 15% Ice Attribute damage to their Life Value.
Lin Rui was waiting for this 15% damage number.
The banshee, being an intelligence-type monster, was not known for agile evasion, and as the soldiers hacked at her wildly, she quickly accumulated 20 layers of BUFF, was frozen solid, becoming an ice sculpture.
However, she quickly broke free, the freezing time was approximately 0.7 seconds.
This meant that in her traits not yet detected, there existed a control reduction effect.
Simultaneously, the damage number formed: "-5000"
This number, neat and orderly, was definitely abnormal.
Lin Rui calmly commanded, "Continue full attack."
The soldiers executed the orders without hesitation, but the battle scenario was extremely bleak.
Loren was directly struck by an undetected skill, sent flying nearly a hundred meters, and upon landing, his body rolled heavily on the ground seven or eight times, finally colliding hard with a massive rock, his right leg fracturing into three segments in a Z-shape.
Reya fared even worse, struck by the Scythe of Death, with a bloody wound stretching from her right shoulder to her left abdomen, revealing countless severed intestines and a heart violently thumping exposed to the air.
Having paid such a gruesome price, they finally triggered the second Frost Bite effect.
Damage number: "-5000"
It could be confirmed that the banshee had a defensive trait, limiting the maximum damage she suffered to 5000 if the damage exceeded a certain limit.
At that moment, the blood-soaked battlefield appeared ghastly and horrifying, and the banshee stood bathed in blood and filth in the central field under a sinister moon, resembling a fierce ghost.
Ordinary people, upon seeing this scene, would likely be petrified with fear.
But Lin Rui remained upright and composed, layering Jade Ice over Reya to prevent her condition from worsening, then used Moon-breaking Blade to rapidly mend her broken body.
Reya’s expression was poignant as she asked, "Lord, do we stand a chance? If not, I’ll cover your retreat to the territory. With your Talent, given time, you’re bound to become powerful and avenge us."
Reya’s helmet had already fallen, revealing wavy golden hair cascading over her silvery shoulder armor. This was Lin Rui’s first time noticing that this heavily armored female warrior was quite beautiful, no less than the Rare Level Audrey.
Lin Rui responded with a calm smile, saying, "Continue the attack. We’ve already uncovered three traits and two skills of this banshee. Her trump cards are running out, and victory will undoubtedly be ours!"
