Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 909 - 358: Killing Level 5 - Part 2
Night Demons had already started running outside, but as daylight had arrived, going out meant certain death. They had no choice but to endure the discomfort and return. Lightning and Blacky were blocking this path, cutting them off and slaughtering them.
For Wang Tao and his group, the air-raid shelter terrain was somewhat advantageous. Just the two animals, Lightning and Blacky, could block the path, so they didn’t have to worry about Night Demons sneaking up from behind to ambush them.
However, this terrain also meant that Wang Tao couldn’t use the Beetle Armor. After all, the Beetle Armor was too large and might get stuck in the tunnel, turning it into a sitting duck! Otherwise, if Wang Tao used the two Beetle Armors he had, it would significantly increase their combat power.
Of course, even without the Beetle Armor, it wasn’t a big problem.
Under the intense ultraviolet light and the siege of four Awakeners, the Level 5 Night Demon Lord was not having a good time. Although it was not completely suppressed, it was indeed at a stalemate with Wang Tao and the others.
And this kind of standoff was exactly what Wang Tao wanted to see. After all, he had a huge healer behind him, and he could afford to slowly wear down the Lord Night Demon.
Although the Night Demon didn’t have the ability or awakening to regenerate HP, even though its passive HP regeneration was fast, it was not as quick as the rate at which Wang Tao and his group were depleting it—they were almost always at full HP!
Therefore, killing this Level 5 Lord Night Demon was only a matter of time!
This was Wang Tao’s first fight against a Level 5 Lord, and he was starting to get a rough idea of the power of a Level 5 Lord.
It was unquestionable that a Level 5 Lord was much stronger than a Level 4 Lord. But if one only looks at the proportion of strength increase, the gap between Level 5 and Level 4 Lords was not as substantial as from Level 3 to Level 4.
When Wang Tao was at Level 3, it was a strenuous task to kill a Level 4 Lord. But now, at Level 4, while they were hunting this Level 5 Night Demon Lord, they didn’t feel that excessive strain.
Although this was also due to the increase in strength of Wang Tao and his teammates, Wang Tao believed that the more critical reason was their awakening—when they were at Level 3 and had not "awakened," the gap with a Level 4 Lord who had awakened was naturally significant. But having awakened at Level 4, there wasn’t an essential change compared to Level 5!
So to say, Level 5 Lords are strong, but not as overwhelmingly as the jump from Level 3 to Level 4! If Wang Tao could kill a Level 4 Lord while he was Level 3, why couldn’t he kill a Level 5 Lord now that he was Level 4?
Not only did Wang Tao have this thought, but He Jijun, Jiang Shixue, and Lan Yulian also felt somewhat the same. They might not have said it out loud, but they were increasingly confident in the fight against this Level 5 Lord Night Demon!
The Level 5 Lord Night Demon was having a hard time. The cramped space had already limited its capabilities, its advantage in speed was difficult to utilize, and the surrounding ultraviolet light inflicted a strong negative status, making its situation increasingly miserable.
And most importantly, it could clearly perceive that these humans seemed invincible, and the main culprit was the woman in the back! It wanted to charge over and kill her, but it was firmly held back by the three people, and the narrow terrain made it impossible to get through...
Night Demons are intelligent, and realizing that it might lose, it decisively decided to run!
Immediately, it turned tail and ran towards the entrance without looking back.
Wang Tao had seen Night Demons flee before, so he wasn’t too surprised, and he didn’t chase either. He knew this Night Demon Lord would return—as daylight outside would kill it even faster!
Wang Tao then took out a Large Ultraviolet Illumination Bomb and launched it at the Night Demon Group.
Bang!
The purple light, which had been dimming, once again intensified within the tunnel.
Bathing in the ultraviolet light, Wang Tao and his comrades began hunting the other Night Demons.
With the addition of Wang Tao and his team, the already desperate Night Demons stood no chance and were slaughtered en masse in just a moment.
And then, not far away at a bend in the tunnel, another imposing figure appeared.
The Level 5 Lord Night Demon had indeed come back!
Upon seeing this, the corners of Wang Tao’s mouth curled up, and he charged directly towards the Level 5 Lord Night Demon. He Jijun and Jiang Shixue also instinctively ceased attacking the Ordinary Night Demons and rushed towards the Lord Night Demon.

The three of them and the Night Demon clashed once more.
After its return, the Night Demon’s attack speed and damage had greatly increased... it seemed even more frenzied than before!
But with Lan Yulian’s support, these enhancements had little impact on Wang Tao and his teammates.
After tangling again for a while, Wang Tao suddenly turned and looked toward the depths of the tunnel. From the passageway leading to the underground mall, there came a chorus of Night Demon roars.
The Night Demons from the underground mall were coming!
Wang Tao was somewhat nervous in his heart, after all, he didn’t know how many Night Demons were in the underground mall or their strength.
If there were a large number of Night Demons or Level 5 Night Demons inside, and if they managed to break through the Ultraviolet Light barricade, then he might find himself fighting on two fronts, having to switch from offense to defense.
Luckily, the Ultraviolet Lights were quite effective, or maybe Night Demons had a natural fear of Ultraviolet Light. Wang Tao only heard the roars of Night Demons but did not see any emerging from the tunnel entrance.
Relieved, Wang Tao immediately turned to the others and said:
```
"For safety’s sake, let’s go all out for a quick victory!"
"Okay!"
As Wang Tao spoke, flames instantly ignited all over him. He charged like a flaming meteor, fiercely slamming into Lord Night Demon.
The Lord Night Demon clearly felt Wang Tao’s threat had greatly increased, and it immediately abandoned its attacks on He Jijun and Jiang Shixue, preparing to rush towards Wang Tao.
But just as they were about to clash, the Lord Night Demon’s body suddenly wavered and it stopped moving.
Wang Tao, holding his Flame Long Sword, unceremoniously struck the Lord Night Demon.
[-6832]
[-683]
[...]
Blessed by [Starfire Outbreak], Wang Tao’s sword could chop for over seven thousand damage. This was a significant increase from before.
Moreover, the Lord Night Demon was being controlled by Jiang Shixue’s awakened [String Puppet], and despite being hit, it showed no resistance.
He Jijun also charged in from another side, wildly attacking the Lord Night Demon. Wang Tao, meanwhile, lifted his long sword with one hand and thrust it toward the head of the Lord Night Demon.
[-7293]
[-729]
[...]
Simultaneously, Wang Tao was charging a fireball in his other hand.
After two more slashes, the Lord Night Demon finally came to its senses as it roared. It seemed to be somewhat confused when a fireball suddenly appeared in front of it and was directly shoved into its mouth.
Boom!
The battlefield was once again covered in surging flames.
He Jijun and Jiang Shixue had already skedaddled and were not affected, but a large group of other Night Demons were dead or injured.
The Fifth-Order Lord Night Fiend at the center of the explosion was blasted into a charred mess, barely hanging on to a thread of life.
"This thing still isn’t dead..."
The life energy of a Fifth-Order Lord is strong, but unfortunately for it, it encountered Wang Tao.
Wang Tao raised his Flame Long Sword and thrust it down into the head of the Night Demon.
Pfft!
[-1221]
[0/200000]
The HP bar of the Fifth-Order Lord Night Demon with two hundred thousand blood was emptied.
A large pile of loot burst forth.
Wang Tao quickly collected the loot, then started clearing out the other Night Demons.
It took some time, but he cleaned out all the Night Demons in the tunnel.
Looking at the severed limbs scattered about and hearing the unceasing roars coming from deep within the tunnel, Wang Tao immediately said:
"Let’s go out and rest up a bit!"
"Okay!"
Although they were barely injured in the battle thanks to the Jade Lotus, their physical strength and spirit were greatly drained. For safety’s sake, the group quickly left the air-raid shelter on the Crystal Energy Car.
