Chapter 127: The Battle Begins
Chapter 127: The Battle Begins
The moment the countdown ended, the level 56 heavy armored Retribution Knight did not underestimate his opponent like Wen Hong. He didn’t even take a single step forward hastily.
Instead, he activated all the buff skills and talents of his profession.
In just two seconds, Retribution Barrier, Heroic Roar, and Hymn of Life enveloped his body.
[Retribution Barrier (A): Upon activation, this barrier covers the entire body, not only negating incoming attacks but also reflecting 20% of the damage back to the enemy.]
[Heroic Roar (B): A roar that increases one's defense and magic resistance while reducing the enemy’s defense and magic resistance by 30%.]
[Hymn of Life (B): Increases maximum health by 50% upon activation.]
As a hidden second-tier path for the warrior profession, the Retribution Knight can also use some buff skills typical of warrior classes.
With these three buffs now active on Ge Dongshu’s heavy armor, his towering, robust figure appeared even more imposing and intimidating, deterring anyone from approaching.
Indeed...
This member of the Longguo Country pre-selection team, Ge Dongshu, was quite formidable.
Even without considering anything else, his current display of might was enough to make many people tremble in fear.
Moreover, he was exceptionally steady. Even facing what he considered a weak level 31 Dragon Tamer, he didn’t choose to be as careless as Wen Hong. Instead, he went all out, like a lion using its full strength to catch a rabbit.
“Come!!”
Fully prepared, Ge Dongshu activated the Retribution Knight’s second-tier passive: Shadow of Retribution!
[Shadow of Retribution (S): While moving or charging towards an enemy, continuously increases movement speed, up to 300%.]
Note: This movement speed boost scales with the Retribution Knight’s level.
It’s well known that every profession gains a second-tier blessing after a job change.
This not only provides a fixed S-grade exclusive passive skill but also modifies some profession-specific skills in terms of form, effect, and power.
The ‘Shadow of Retribution’ is the signature and most troublesome passive skill of the Retribution Knight!
Heavy warriors typically suffer from slow attack and movement speeds.
But with ‘Shadow of Retribution’, this significant weakness of ‘slow movement speed’ is covered.
High attack, high defense, high health, and now high movement speed!
How could this not be a headache?
At least for those fragile ranged professions like mages, priests, and necromancers, facing this highly mobile ‘moving fortress’ would be extremely challenging.
In a way, the hidden second-tier path of the Retribution Knight is nearly perfect.
At this moment, with a roar, Ge Dongshu activated his signature passive skill. The black armor he wore suddenly glowed with a dazzling light.
Clearly, to deal with the Dragon Tamer who had defeated Wen Hong, Ge Dongshu even activated his level 45 gold-grade armor!
Clang!!
The black heavy shield in his left hand shimmered with layers of light effects, forming a photon barrier that looked like an impenetrable gate in front of him.
Meanwhile, the black heavy sword in his right hand emitted a sharp humming sound. The razor-sharp sword energy circulated along the blade, announcing the weapon’s sharpness and danger!
Wow!!
The battle had just begun, and Ge Dongshu’s series of actions left everyone in the audience in shock!
Everyone could clearly see the gap between themselves and Ge Dongshu!
Was this really the second most powerful person among the sophomores, second only to Xue Sheng?
So fierce!
Especially the fragile ranged professions, they couldn’t help but feel their mindset collapse seeing the aura emanating from Ge Dongshu.
If they had to face this guy...
It would be utterly unplayable!
You couldn’t outrun him, and you couldn’t hurt him either!
Currently, Ge Dongshu’s only drawback was his slow attack speed.
Other than that, he was almost perfect!
“He’s moving! He’s started!”
At this moment, the fully prepared Ge Dongshu finally took a heavy step forward. With a loud clang, the floating stage trembled under his stomp!
Yet, despite being covered in armor and wielding a shield, his massive frame didn’t seem cumbersome at all. In a flash, he charged towards the Dragon Tamer over a hundred meters away with incredible speed!
‘Charge!’
A basic D-grade skill for warriors!
But under Ge Dongshu’s execution, his entire body was surrounded by a surge of energy, making this ‘Charge’ look as if it carried a terrifying destructive force!
“But…”
“Look! That guy is still holding his staff without moving!”
What shocked all the spectators was...
The calm figure facing Ge Dongshu’s charging attack showed no sign of panic!
Damn!
What was he doing!?
Why wasn’t he dodging?
He was just standing there holding his staff, waiting for Ge Dongshu to get closer!
Just as the audience was about to express their confusion, the hundred-meter distance was closed to seventy meters in just a second by Ge Dongshu’s rapid charge!
Only thirty meters left between them!
“Thirty meters!!”
“Why isn’t he attacking!?”
The audience’s eyes widened in disbelief!
Qin Fan’s actions were truly nerve-wracking!
Fortunately...
In the next moment, the Dragon Tamer, who seemed to be dancing on a knife’s edge, finally made a move!!
Raising his Emberfall Staff, a wave of magical energy even stronger than Wen Hong’s surged forth!
Then, everyone was astonished to see a massive frost dragon head illusion appear behind Qin Fan!
The terrifying dragon might spread completely at this moment!
Roar!!
A divine-like dragon roar shook the entire arena!
“This…”
The faces of all the spectators froze, and even Ge Dongshu, who was charging, was momentarily stunned!
Damn!
What a terrifying dragon might!
Before the audience could discern if the dragon head illusion was real or fake...
“Ang——!!”
The frost dragon illusion opened its massive jaws, unleashing a deafening roar mixed with chilling frost breath!!
Whoosh!!
Under the terrifying blizzard...
The entire arena was instantly filled with overwhelming frost!
