Chapter 1652 Hell Beast Rampage
Adrian is now in another disguise as he was already spotted by other players. He needed to blend in more as becoming the center of attention might be dangerous in Hell. This place is a place where the law of the main world does not operate.
He should be specifically careful of the War Zone because it is a lawless zone where even allies could damage you. Adrian is not gullible to think that there are no players that are after him because he has been followed for months on end. He was not just captured because he would teleport away from place to place.
The first time that he was caught was when there was a fake artifact or a copy of an artifact that controlled time was used. He did not know when that might happen again which is why he needed to be stealthy. One might think that going in alone would be the best option but that would be easily spotted in Hell.
Due to the devils being more powerful in Hell, all players are recommended to have at least a team of three. Devils do not work together which is why one could defend themselves against devils if they are a team. There have been cases of solo players being killed over and over again by devils because the latter just felt like it.
"What is the distribution?!" One of the players that were interested in the raid asked.
"Since this raid is a raid that is not needed to form a party, all the people that just come and participate will get 10 gold and five Low Mana Potions. All the guilds that have been to Hell first have decided that the one with the most contribution would be the one to keep what they get. We shall bet the prize distribution to the one saying that we need your free help. Still, the greed in the eyes of the other players blazed as that mean they could have a chance of that contributes the most. "The announcer stated.
Adrian immediately raised his eyebrow as that is just basically saying that we need your free help. Still, the greed in the eyes of the other players blazed as that mean they could have a chance of getting the best prize via the lucky dice roll. Almost all of the players that were there liked the condition as it was every man for themselves since even allies missed spells can hurt you.
"I do not really care much as I just need the way to the Hell Beast. I guess I should covertly join since the end location is still the same." Adrian thought to himself as he went with the players that are going for the Hell Beast subjugation.
[Announcer Player: Guild Master, I managed to recruit at least five hundred players for the raid. I will now be leading them to the location.]
[Unknown Guild Leader: Good. The more vanguard the better as the Hell Beast is not something that can easily be defeated.]
The players did not know that the consolation prize was not that great compared to the losses that they will incur. They actually signed the contract of being in the raid recklessly and now they must deal with the Hell Beast until it either dies or evolves. Adrian also signed the contract since it only stated that he must not leave hell unless the Hell Beast dies or evolves.
"I already more or less get what they want but I just hope that the sheer number of players can defeat the Hell Beast." Adrian stated as he followed the raid recruiter to the location of the Hell Beast.

The players already found the Hell Beast that spawned thanks to the incredible noise that it makes as it tore through the NPC devils trying to defeat it. The NPC devils were also fighting against the Hell Beast because they want the Devil Dark Stone as well because that is a guaranteed rise in Persona. No devil will pass up the chance of evolving unless they were the lazy kind.
The first players were the ones that were already near the War Zone where the Hell Beast spawned. They witnessed what the Hell Beast looks like, and it was actually like a large salamander and gorilla hybrid aesthetic. The Hell Beast is also covered in dark molten rocks as if its whole body was made of lava.

Monster Name: Hell Beast (Field Raid Boss)
Monster Level: 400
HP: 99% / 100%
MP: 94% / 100%
Description: A creature that is said to be born from the harsh mana emanated from the Dragon of Revelation locked up in the depths of Hell. It is also said to be a natural born monster that is created thanks to the mana emanating from Hell and the Dragon of Revelation. It is extremely ferocious and would spew out powerful flaming attacks to any that comes in its way.
It is also one of the few monsters in Hell that can evolve when given time. It evolves into a Hell Beast Matriarch once it has fully absorbed the Devil Dark Stone that it as created as its core. It will gain incredible intelligence once it evolves which makes it a very difficult opponent.
==
The Hell Beast is about twenty meters tall and ten meters wide. It is a large beast that also releases intense heat that it actually melts any weak armor that has no fire or heat resistance. It also has four hands that have claws at each end and a tail that is similar to that of a lizard.
The Hell Beast immediately started its rampage upon its awakening because a lot of devils that were in the vicinity started to attack it. The devils already knew that the Hell Beast is a monster that has the Devil Dark Stone which is why the devils do not mind dying and resurrecting a bunch of time just to make it fall.
The players that arrived first with their small to medium groups also started to bombard the Hell Beast with attacks. They all wanted the sweet contribution that comes with the damage dealt to the Hell Beast. The players were all excited as they were the first ones there and only had a few NPC rivals, but they were actually incredibly wrong.
[You have dealt 10 damage to the Hell Beast.]
[The Hell Beast is covered in Hell Magma Armor. All damage dealt will be reduced by 80%.]
All the players could not believe that a raid boss that is already level 400 also has a defensive armor that negates 80% of their damage. There have been cases of raid bosses having such things but he maximum damage negation that players experienced was 30%. To make matters worse, the Hell Beast is covered from head to toe of the Hell Magma Armor.
The solution that the early players thought of was to have the raid boss to die from numerous damage sources. All they need to do had numerous players attack a large target at once so that it will fall down eventually. What the players did not know is that there is a way for the Hell Magma Armor to be destroyed but they do not know that way yet.
Each of the guilds or groups that arrived first immediately asked one of their members to become a walking ad campaign. They needed the numbers to deal a massive blow to the Hell Beast. They do not care if they only chip out 1% of the Hell Beast per two hours but they should at least get it low on health.
The players also tried using piercing damage that negates any powerful defenses, but the damage negation of the Hell Beast was still there. All the players could think of is the human wave method where a lot of players basically ambushes it in damage. This is also one of the reasons why there was no raid party that needs to be created.
If a raid party is created, then the loot would be decided by the raid leader which would get a lot of opposition from other players. The prize is also a race change item which means the raid leader will be the villain if he runs away with it or give it to someone that did not contribute a lot. In the end, the early players agreed to the stance that it was all players for themselves but making sure that the Hell Beast is defeated.
"Why is such a powerful beast loaded with enchantments?!" Adrian thought as he could not believe that there were thirty enchantments on the Hell Beast.
The secret to the Hell Magma Armor of the Hell Beast is actually the thirty enchantments engraved on it. If they want to get rid of the Hell Magma Armor, then they would need to destroy all thirty enchantments on the Hell Beast. Adrian is not confident that he can destroy all thirty enchantments within ten days because the target is a rampaging raid boss.
"Whoever awakened the Hell Beast has done this deliberately." Adrian thought as he saw all the players attack the Hell Beast.
