Danmachi : Start With Terraria Calamity Mod! Chapter 73 73 : The Correct Way to Use Terraria Bosses

The Corruption.

This barren land, filled with decay and ruin, was already devastated because of Drake's previous battle against the Eater of Worlds.

The soil and sand that contained filthy power would gradually spread and transmit the concept of "corruption."

Even normal bios would slowly beco corrupted over ti, transforming into new Corruption lands.

This process would accelerate drastically after the magical seal known as the Wall of Flesh was broken.

In contrast, Terraria also had a bio known as the Hallow, which could likewise spread and propagate.

"Rumble…!"

A roar like a collapsing skyscraper or a landslide surrounded Drake.

This was an unknown number of tis he had slaughtered this enormous worm that specialized in burrowing underground, then attempted to extract it into a Shadow Soldier.

"Arise."

Looking at the corpse of the Eater of Worlds, Drake stretched out his hand, condensed the power of shadow, and murmured.

Although he had already failed many tis before, as long as Drake could still summon the Eater of Worlds, it could not escape the fate of submission.

"Hm? This feeling is…"

Sensing the magic body gradually taking shape, Drake's expression shifted.

He secretly thought that this attempt might succeed.

Sure enough, the corpse of the Eater of Worlds gradually decomposed into purple-black magic power and condensed into a gigantic worm completely ford from shadows.

Although it looked one size smaller than the original Eater of Worlds, Drake did not mind.

During his attempts just now, he had not only extracted the boss-level enemies he had already defeated into Shadow Soldiers.

He had also tested whether he could subdue two or more identical bosses at the sa ti.

The result was negative.

Perhaps there was so kind of mutual exclusion.

When Drake tried to extract the shadow of a second Queen Bee, the first Shadow Queen Bee he had subdued suddenly ca out by itself and absorbed all the extracted shadow!

This caused the Shadow Queen Bee's strength to rise by a level, but a second Shadow Queen Bee did not appear.

Seeing this, Drake imdiately understood everything.

Only one Shadow Soldier of the sa boss species could exist.

However, it could continuously beco stronger by absorbing the shadows of "itself."

The Shadow Eater repeatedly drilled into the ground, then broke out of the earth again, circling around Drake and affectionately rubbing its body against him.

"An ordinary person would not be able to endure you acting spoiled like this."

Drake touched the shell of the Shadow Eater. It felt cold and hard, like tal.

No wonder the material it dropped was Shadow Scale rather than sothing like a chitin shell.

"Go. Let see what you can do."

Under Drake's command, the Shadow Eater began to demonstrate its special skill—burrowing!

Among the bosses Drake had already subdued, King Sli was the weakest, but it was small and quite cute.

Even if it did not have much combat power, it could still be thrown to Enju and the others to play with as a slide.

Next was the Desert Scourge. Its abilities were similar to the Eater of Worlds, but it could only move in deserts and water, so it had quite a lot of limitations.

After that was Queen Bee, which counted as one of the top combat forces under Drake's command. In addition, she could also serve as a flying mount, making her extrely practical.

Besides that, Drake had challenged the Hive Mind again.

However, when he tried to extract its shadow, the ssage Failure was displayed directly.

This might be because the Hive Mind was the embodint of the Corruption's evil thoughts and simply had no shadow.

Although the Shadow Extraction skill was powerful, it also had limitations.

First, incorporeal entities without shadows, such as the Hive Mind, could not be extracted.

Second, non-biological existences also could not have their shadows extracted.

If he could extract those, Drake would directly drain Mother Earth herself, which would be better than anything else.

However, such cases were ultimately rare.

Most enemies and bosses in Terraria possessed physical bodies.

This ant Drake could use the shadows of these powerful enemies to fight against themselves!

Moreover, besides combat, these Shadow Soldiers could also provide quite a lot of help.

For example, the burrowing ability currently displayed by the Shadow Eater looked to Drake like a worm-version high-speed tunnel boring machine!

As long as it drilled underground, it could dig out a standard tunnel.

Moreover, it could very intelligently avoid dangerous areas such as underground water pools and lava lakes while autonomously opening paths.

"Very good. From now on, you are the chief civil engineer under my command."

After the Shadow Eater returned to his side, Drake took out several Worm Foods with great satisfaction.

"I'll reward you with a few Eater of Worlds shadows. Grow stronger soon, and strive to work for yourself in the future."

Perhaps because he had spent quite a lot of ti with Miori these past few days, Drake had also picked up the bad habits of a capitalist.

He had only just extracted bosses into Shadow Soldiers, yet he was already thinking about making them pay their own wages.

In any case, the matters in the Black Bullet world had finally co to a temporary close.

As for the hive in the forbidden zone, Drake only needed to find so ti to clean it up. There were still a full three weeks left anyway.

There were many spoils obtained from defeating Queen Bee, but Drake had little use for most of them.

However, the Bee Wax dropped by Queen Bee could be used to craft a decent set of Summoner armor.

Before Hardmode, it was one of the few armor sets that provided bonuses to the Summoner class.

Drake planned to farm more of it and prepare a set for every contractor.

The characteristics of Terraria's Summoner class were very obvious.

It let you win while lying down.

Too lazy to fight monsters?

No problem. Summons would automatically seek enemies.

Afraid of getting injured?

No problem. Leave the damage output to the summons and stack everything else into defense.

If the summons were strong enough, one could even stand beside a monster farm, sleep for a few hours, and wake up to harvest everything beautifully.

This was sothing no other class could do.

For contractors with relatively weak self-defense abilities, such as Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi, having a Summoner equipnt set plus weapons would basically allow them to walk sideways in their own world.

At the very least, as long as the zombies in Tokonosu City appeared within their field of vision, they would imdiately be killed in one shot.

"The next bosses to challenge… there are still three. No, to be precise, two and a half."

After defeating Queen Bee, if the Wall of Flesh was used as the dividing line, then before Hardmode, Drake had three boss-level enemies left.

They were Skeletron, The Sli God, and Deerclops.

Among them, Deerclops was rather special.

It was actually a crossover boss from a survival ga next door.

In a sense, like Drake, it did not belong to this world.

However, defeating it could also grant so decent spoils.

"Since it is convenient anyway, I'll farm it when I pass by the Snow bio."

Deerclops was a boss exclusive to the Snow bio and could only be summoned in that environnt.

Even if he did not challenge it, there would not be any impact.

As for Skeletron, it was an important boss for advancing Terraria's world progression. He had to fight it.

Only after defeating Skeletron could Drake explore the Dungeon and unlock the chanic role.

If he explored the Dungeon without defeating Skeletron, he would be instantly killed by it.

As for the Sli God, it was the final Calamity Mod boss before Hardmode.

That was right. Although it was so weak that even the Wall of Flesh's seal did not count it, it was indeed a boss bearing the na of "god."

Only after defeating the Sli God could Drake use the Purified Gel it dropped to craft the Night's Edge series of weapons.

Once he conquered all of these bosses, Drake would have to face an enemy powerful enough to affect the entire world—

The Wall of Flesh.

"Whew… next cos another long journey."

After storing the Shadow Eater inside his own shadow, Drake stretched and returned to the world of DanMachi.

"I haven't been to the shop in a long ti. Might as well go back and take a look."
