Danmachi : Start With Terraria Calamity Mod! Chapter 77 77 : A New Function That Makes One Both Love and

After receiving the ssage, 'The Goblin Army has arrived', it did not take long before a group of short, green-skinned monsters appeared at the edge of Drake's vision.

The Goblin monsters of the Terraria world were extrely stereotypical.

Green skin, ugly faces, and short bodies.

They were practically textbook Goblins.

However, these Goblins' combat strength was not weak.

As a genuine "army," these Goblins even had a division of roles!

Charging at the very front were Goblin Peons, who had no weapons and relied on their bodies to start the fight.

Following closely behind were Goblin Warriors equipped with iron armor and highly mobile Goblin Thieves.

Farther back were Goblin Archers, drawing their bows and aiming arrows at Drake.

Aside from these, there was another monster that should have appeared but was currently hidden behind the scenes.

The Goblin Sorcerer!

With this kind of formation, even a group of low-level adventurers of the sa number would probably be caught off guard.

But to Drake, these were nothing more than Shadow Soldiers delivering themselves to his door.

"Saeko's swimsuit really should be a darker color."

While thinking this, Drake gently stepped down with one foot.

The enormous body of the Shadow Eater suddenly rushed out from the shadows!

The vanguard army made up of Goblin Peons and Goblin Warriors instantly had its formation thrown into chaos, with corpses and severed flesh flying everywhere.

In the next mont, pitch-black shadow power scattered out from those corpses.

The Shadow Extraction skill could be cast multiple tis and quickly activated by setting a command phrase.

And the command phrase Drake had set was…

"Arise."

Drake snapped his fingers, and the Goblins that had just been killed by the Shadow Eater reassembled as Shadow Soldiers.

Under the will of the Shadow Monarch, all the Shadow Goblins turned their charging direction around.

They launched an attack toward the Goblin Archers in the rear!

For a ti, the Goblin Army fell into chaos.

The Shadow Goblins under Drake's command not only feared no death, but could also revive infinitely.

Although each revival consud Drake's mana, the thing Drake lacked the least was Mana Potions!

...

"Shizuka's swimsuit… it has to be that one, right?"

Watching the one-sided battlefield, Drake sat on the roof of his warehouse, propping up his chin as he pondered.

"A black-and-white spotted swimsuit is definitely the uncrowned king!"

"As for Rika Minami's swimsuit, that's harder to choose. What style goes best with wheat-colored skin… a bikini?"

A purple magical ray suddenly shot toward him from a strange angle.

The one who launched the sneak attack was a Goblin wearing a purple robe.

It was as if it had suddenly appeared in its current position, instantly casting the spell from just now!

Even if this attack directly hit Drake, with the defense of the Softshell Armor on his body, he would not suffer much damage.

But just as the purple ray was about to hit, the Shadow Queen Bee directly flew behind Drake and blocked the sneak attack.

"Bzzzz…!"

It seed to be enraged by the act of ambushing the king it served.

Before the Shadow Queen Bee could wait for the purple-robed Goblin to attack again, it fired a series of stingers from its rear, sending them raining toward the enemy like a storm.

However, the instant its sneak attack failed, the purple-robed Goblin waved the staff in its hand and vanished from its original position.

"Since it can teleport, I'll handle it."

Drake leaped down from the roof.

Sky-blue wings spread open behind him as he flew nimbly toward the purple-robed Goblin.

This Goblin's proper na was Goblin Sorcerer.

It was an elite monster from the Goblin Invasion event before Hardmode.

It possessed the ability to teleport and cast the plasma ray spell.

If struck by the plasma ray, one would also suffer the burning effect of Shadowfla, continuously losing life.

Seeing Drake fly toward it, the Goblin Sorcerer once again raised the staff in its hand.

Unfortunately…

Beyond seven steps, the gun is faster.

The SHPC in Drake's hands had long since been itching for action.

All the small-fry kills had been stolen by his underlings.

If he could not even secure this elite monster, he really would have no sense of participation left.

When the battle results were calculated later, his Shadow Soldiers would be the MVPs, while he would look like soone who had been carried.

Three rapidly fired phased plasma orbs exploded with a roar, and the high burst damage instantly killed the Goblin Sorcerer.

"Arise… hm?"

Drake imdiately used Shadow Extraction on the Goblin Sorcerer that had just died, but the first attempt failed.

Fortunately, the second extraction succeeded smoothly.

After a flash of purple teleportation light, the Goblin Sorcerer, now wreathed in Shadowfla, teleported in front of him and pledged its loyalty.

"It seems elite monsters have a certain resistance to Shadow Extraction."

However, the thing Terraria lacked the least was monsters.

Even if extraction failed, it simply ant farming a few more tis.

After the Goblin Sorcerer, the commander of the army, "defected," the remaining Goblins were no longer a threat.

After leaving the pursuit of the fleeing remnants to his Shadow Soldiers, Drake began cleaning up the battlefield.

The pre-Hardmode Goblin Invasion event was truly pitifully poor.

Among the drops scattered all over the ground, aside from a small number of coins, there were only piles of Spiky Balls.

This was a throwing weapon that could remain on the ground for a while, sowhat similar to caltrops.

It would damage any unit that stepped on it, regardless of friend or foe.

That's right.

Even if Drake stepped on it himself, he would be injured.

So Drake rely glanced at them before directly selling the Spiky Balls to the shop.

He even felt they took up space in his inventory.

Next were several Harpoon Guns, shaped sowhat like hand crossbows.

This item dropped from most enemies in the Goblin Army.

After firing, it would shoot out a Harpoon, piercing through multiple enemies and dealing damage.

However, before the Harpoon returned, it could not fire again, making it sowhat awkward to use.

Drake kept one as a collection item and sold the rest to the shop in exchange for coins.

One Harpoon Gun could sell for 54 silver, which was not bad. That was equivalent to dozens of Mana Potions.

Because Adventurer's Ho's business was far too popular and required frequent restocking, Drake's Terraria currency had instead started to run short, leaving him sowhat amused and helpless.

However, once he finished conquering the Dungeon and built a proper monster farm, everything would improve.

Terraria resources could be produced infinitely as long as one was willing to farm them.

The best example was the battery factory that could continuously produce power cells just by being placed on the ground.

Finally, there were the spoils dropped by the Goblin Sorcerer.

Originally, it was actually very poor and did not have any decent drops.

Fortunately, the Calamity Mod had given it a unique piece of equipnt, so it had not been a waste for Drake to personally kill it.

Plasma Rod — Blue Rarity

Consus 10 mana to release a "plasma ray" spell, dealing 8 magic damage.

When the plasma ray hits, it splits into 8 rays.

The rays inflict the Shadowfla debuff on hit.

The spell cast by this staff was precisely the purple ray that had ambushed Drake earlier.

However, because the Shadow Queen Bee had blocked it for him, the follow-up split rays had also been blocked.

Drake casually waved the staff and fired an identical purple ray.

The ray struck the ground, then silently refracted into several identical rays before disappearing into the air.

Although this magic staff's damage was a little low, it was still quite good for dealing with groups of enemies.

Unfortunately, the SHPC in Drake's hands was already excellent enough, leaving no room for this staff to find a job.

"Still… the SHPC's upgrade count has already been used up."

Drake looked at the old partner that had accompanied him through most of his adventures and sighed emotionally.

"Once I enter Hardmode, I'll probably have no choice but to switch to another weapon…"

"When the ti cos, I'll leave a good spot for it in the exhibition hall."

As the final fleeing Goblin Thief was swallowed directly into the Shadow Eater's stomach, the Goblin Invasion event finally ca to an end.

This event was different from the Blood Moon, which had to last the entire night.

As long as a certain number of Goblin Army monsters were killed, it would end early.

Drake roughly estimated that he had extracted the shadows of around four to five hundred Goblin monsters just now.

This number was much higher than expected. Perhaps the event had changed sowhat in this world.

According to the ga's settings, a Goblin Invasion only required killing fewer than one hundred monsters to end.

That would not have been satisfying to kill. This current scale was just right.

And it did not delay him from helping the girls choose swimsuits.

You have unlocked the "Tinkerer" role!

"So it is Tinkerer, not Goblin Tinkerer…"

Seeing the information in front of him, Drake felt a long-lost itch in his teeth.

Back then, he had wasted who knew how many gold coins on the Goblin Tinkerer, all just to reforge a set of accessory modifiers he liked.

Damn profiteer.

Damn Goblin.

Unfortunately, this world did not have NPCs.

Otherwise, Drake would at least build him a lovely little house in Hell and make him live together with the Angler.

However, this also showed how important the Tinkerer role was.

In the Tinkerer's shop, Drake could buy the crafting station used to combine accessories: the Tinkerer's Workshop.

He could also buy the shoes that granted flight capability, Rocket Boots.

This was an essential item for upgrading and combining shoe-type accessories in Terraria.

From now on, Drake also had the ability to equip his contractors with flight items on a large scale.

As for whether Adventurer's Ho should release new products like Rocket Boots…

He would think about it later.

Recently, the lower-level mbers of the Loki Familia had been squeezed dry by him.

Very few people could even afford the new equipnt he had previously released.

Before the next expedition, even Ais had to buy on credit from him. That alone showed the situation clearly.

Riveria, on the other hand, was extrely wealthy. She casually started with several hundred gemstones every ti.

As expected of elven royalty. Her family background was truly solid.

The main ability of the Tinkerer role was to forge special-effect modifiers onto equipnt.

Simply put…

It was reforging modifiers.

The modifiers added by the Tinkerer could affect an item's attributes and even its appearance.

For example, adding the Large modifier to swords could increase weapon length and improve knockback.

Adding modifiers to accessories usually provided boosts to certain attributes, such as defense, movent speed, maximum mana, and so on.

The Tinkerer could only add or reforge modifiers on weapons and accessories.

Armor was not currently on this function's service list.

Reforging modifiers would reset the modifier already present on the item and consu money.

Depending on the equipnt's rarity, the cost could range from dozens of silver coins to dozens of gold coins, or even platinum coins.

This was why Drake felt that itch in his teeth.

If he seriously started reforging…

This Reforge function was also a bottomless pit.

However, the correction effects brought by modifiers were also extrely powerful.

For example, if all five accessories Drake had equipped were given the Quick modifier, they would increase his movent speed by a full 20%, perfectly offsetting the negative effect of the Softshell armor set.

If they were all given the Warding modifier, they would increase defense by 20 points, equivalent to wearing an extra set of armor.

Overall, this was a function that made people both love and hate it.

"There is still so ti before nightfall."

Looking at the position of the sun, the corners of Drake's mouth could not help rising.

The ti flow between the Terraria world and the Highschool of the Dead world was the sa.

It was dayti here, so it should also be noon in Tokonosu City.

Before challenging Skeletron, he still had plenty of ti to play a dress-up ga with Saeko and the others!
