Chapter 328 Self-breakthrough
Rhodes caught the right time difference.
When he appeared beside Batel, it was when the opponent's empty door was wide open and his hands were raised high. The hot flames and whirlwind obscured Batel's vision and hearing, not to mention that Rod's agility was much higher than him. Although Rod was still a little behind Batel in terms of average physical level attributes, if he was just talking about Batel's agility level, he was a few streets away from Batel.
At this moment, facing the swordsman who opened in the hollow, Rhode released his strongest attack since the battle.
【Killing Storm, Start.】
【Detected attribute level breaks through the boundary, space displacement starts, duration of five seconds】
【Specify coordinates】
One is divided into two, two is divided into four, and four is divided into eight.
For a moment, there were many figures in the flames, and the bright red sword light flashed and crossed, turning into straight red lines, weaving into a shocking network, wrapping Battel in it. The scene in front of him made everyone scream. The sharp and weird sword path even the entangled and burning flames were split and spread out, roaring around Battel. At this time, Battel finally calmed down. He gritted his teeth and then swung the double blades hanging in the air.
"The earth, destroy my enemies!!"
The two giant swords broke through Rhode's sword blockade without any sense of stagnation, hitting heavily on the ground. Then, around Bater himself, the sword energy soared into the sky broke out and completely surrounded Bater. It blocked the scattered sword lights like a fountain that burst out and flowed upwards, and was domineering like a mountain rising from the ground.
"clang!!"
Rhodes' figure suddenly shook. The absolute speed could not withstand absolute power. The power of the earth under the full blown attack was extraordinary, not to mention that he had already burst out with 100% strength at this moment. As long as Bartle still stepped on the earth, he could use this land to obtain a continuous supply of power, which is naturally quite unfavorable for Rhodes.
It's really scary.
The extremely hard power came from the sword. The violent vibration brought by the sword even made a little numb. The bright red sword blade also made a harsh wailing sound under the impact of this powerful force, and at the same time tilted toward the side. If it weren't for the bright red cry, it was at least a magic sword blade of small artifact level, this attack alone would be enough to completely break it and say goodbye to this world.
But when he noticed this attack, Rhodes was not surprised but happy.
Good to come!
Thoughts flashed, and in just a moment, he suddenly let go of his right hand, and the bright red sword that had lost its restraint and support roared into the air under the influence of huge power. At this moment, Rhode suddenly retreated, and then his hands stretched to both sides. No one saw it. At this moment, between Rhode's left and right fingers, there was a card of pure white and pure black.
【Strong damage is 75% and activation effect - self-breakthrough】
Rhodes took the front half.
The black and pure white swords each exuded completely different brilliance. They crossed down and slashed into Battel's earth barrier.
Everyone didn't see clearly what was going on.
In their eyes, they saw Bartel slashing towards the ground under the net-shaped sword lights of Rhodes. Then the whole earth surging like a tremor, swallowing the bright red sword lights, flames, whirlwinds and even everything. But after less than three seconds, almost everyone felt as if the whole world suddenly disappeared at this moment. Then they saw the earth barrier that originally wrapped Bartel exploded and broke, and a black shadow flew out from it and hit the wall beside the ring heavily.
On the wall, the impact was so great that even they who were sitting in the stands could feel the force like an earthquake. Even the walls reinforced with steel plates and granite stones could not stop the impact. While the black shadow hit the wall, it also tore a hole from it. He rushed forward like a roaring beast, shattering the entire platform. Some spectators could not dodge and fell heavily from the crack.
The disaster continued to the third floor of the platform before it stopped. When everyone stepped forward and watched tremblingly, they were surprised to find that the one who was almost trapped in the platform and was about to integrate with the platform was Battel. At this moment, he was still holding the sword in both hands and posing a cross-shaped protective posture. Obviously, at the end, Battel finally made a protective posture in time, but it was just that.
How is this possible?
Victor grew his mouth and couldn't help but stand up. Not only him, but even many viewers were the same as him. They grew his mouth and looked at Rhode, who was still standing on the ring and silently, and had no idea what to say. Well, Ter is so powerful that he was killed by the other party so easily? What is the identity of this young man?
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement, and insiders watch the tricks. For most ordinary people, they can't see the tricks that both sides show in the battle. They only know that the game was very fierce, but it ended soon. From this point of view, it must be that this young man's strength is far superior to Bartel. Only those truly experienced veterans can see the subtlety from it. Like Anne, many of them know that the next one is the fatal blow from both sides. Whoever can stand to the end will see the present. But even so, they cannot see what happened in the end.
It's no wonder that even Rhodes himself didn't understand what was going on at this moment.
He stood there blankly, staring at Bater, who was almost embedded in the ruins of the high platform not far away, and his heart was in chaos.
At the beginning, the situation was actually within Rhode's expectations. He activated his full strength, and the breakthrough of the killing storm actively triggered one of the set attributes of the structured suit - space displacement. At this time, Bartel's counterattack interrupted Rhode's attack, but even so, the buff effect of the space displacement did not disappear. On the contrary, since Bartel's full strength counterattack exceeded Rhode's tolerance limit, his attack instead triggered the second set attribute of the structured suit - self-breakthrough.
The three set attributes of the construction equipment are calculated and manifested according to the attribute bonus of the equipment on the holder. The space displacement comes from the trigger condition that the values of the three are added together with the dexterity attributes carried by the equipment and the dexterity attributes improved when the skill bursts. This is the first attribute of all Rhode's equipment. Then self-breaking is naturally the superposition of the second attributes of all equipment - that is, physical fitness.
It's helpless to say that. Although Rhodes got a lot of equipment from those mercenaries, don't expect NPC to be consistent with the players. As a player, Rhodes actually needs equipment that adds critical strikes, hits and power. After all, for players, output is the best way to defeat their opponents. But for the indigenous people, they value things that can save their lives more. Although they are not like Rhodes who have their own system to see the equipment attributes clearly, what equipment will make people stronger, and wearing those equipment is more difficult to die. This is their first choice.
Because of this, a large part of the equipment Rhodes collects is like this - either adding a little life recovery, or increasing physical fitness and defense. As for the critical and hit equipment Rhodes most wants with a dexterity attribute, they can't find it at all.
Although Rhodes also complained in his heart that the indigenous people had made all of MT without output, they deserved to be killed in the ruins and let the players find cheaper from their bodies, but the attributes of the construction equipment were still needed to be collected. In the end, with the attitude of being a dead horse, Rhodes chose to add equipment with physique. The reason is also very simple. The construction equipment requires its own attributes and the final value of the equipment attributes superimposed to show the effect, so if those unsightly attributes are selected, the final effect of the set will be very disappointing.
So far, because his bloodline has not been found, Rhodes mostly guessed and confused about his physical attributes. Although he is confused except for his dexterity, at least Rhodes is sure that his physical attributes are definitely not low. He has realized this since his serious injury has not healed and he has not died with the floating ship. It is precisely because of this that Rhodes finally chose those equipment that adds physique. According to Rhodes's idea, if it can trigger a special effect of improving physical fitness or self-recovery, it will be a waste of this trip.
But what Rhodes didn't expect was that the final trigger was such a suit effect.
[Self-breakthrough: When the holder is hit by more than 50% of damage beyond his own, the holder's physical attributes will be increased according to the upper limit of the damage level to resist damage, lasting for five seconds]
This skill seems very strange at first glance, but when Rhode saw this skill, he was very happy. Because he clearly realized that from the perspective of this skill itself, it is no less than the space displacement.
The effect of this set attribute is actually very simple to explain. Assuming that Rhodes is a first-level player, he has suffered skill damage from level 10 monsters. Since this world skill level is linked to the character level, when Rhodes suffers level 10 damage, self-breaking through this set attribute will be triggered, and then his physical attribute will be forced to be upgraded to level 11 higher than this level to resist damage.
Although this skill looks dull and its function is ultimately used to resist damage, Rhodes is very clear that this means that while the suit attributes are activated, all attributes of his body, including dexterity, will, physique, etc., will be forced to be upgraded to the level 11 level. Although this can only last for five seconds, within these five seconds, Rhodes' attributes are real level 11 attributes, which will not change.
But now it is not a level one and level ten monsters fighting, but a battle between two sword masters.
Although according to conventional rules, it is unlikely that there will be more than 50% damage between two top sword masters, Rhode is an exception. He has the strength of top sword master swordsmanship, but he does not have the body that top sword masters can withstand. Now his body is at most an elite level. Even if there are one or two high attributes, on average, it is still incomparable to a true top sword master like Bartel.
So Rhodes has been waiting for him to preserve his strength. In order to wait for the opponent's fatal blow, he knew very well that as long as Bartel made all his strength, his small body would not be able to stop it. At that time, as long as one strike hits, he would suffer more than 50% of the damage, then the set attributes of [Self-Breakthrough] will explode immediately.
According to the description of this effect attribute itself, it will inevitably automatically increase Rhode's physical attributes to reach a level upper limit that is sufficient to resist the damage of the top master's swordsmanship.
That ceiling is legend.
In fact, while being hit by Bartel, while [self-breakthrough] was triggered, Rhodes did feel that he had broken the invisible barrier and entered the almost unattainable realm of the mortal. He had enough confidence to defeat Bartel. And it was an overwhelming victory.
But what happened next was completely beyond Rhode's expectations.
He originally thought that after improving his attributes to the legend, his own law attributes should appear, and then he should be a dexterous evolution, such as space transfer or space tear, because before triggering [self-breakthrough], due to the superposition of [spatial displacement], the highest of Rhode's physical attributes is dexterity, and think according to this idea. After breaking through the boundaries of the legend, then the first law attributes he appears should be related to the dexterity attribute.
But this is not the case at all.
When Rhodes's double swords hit Batel's earth power, he suddenly realized that his attack turned into nothingness - not only him, but even Batel's vigorous earth power disappeared in an instant, as if the continuous earth had completely disappeared. Even the whole world disappeared. Rhodes only saw a chaotic circle suddenly appearing where his two swords crossed. Then, the earth power suddenly disappeared, and then Batel was knocked away heavily.
What exactly is this?
Rhode was also confused at this moment, but no matter what, he also understood that this could never be the legendary law with dexterity attributes. Thinking of this, Rhode instinctively wanted to read through the battle records at his hand. Then he realized that this was not a game world, and he did not install any combat skill record plug-ins in his mind.
However, the system itself prompts that the skills records in the battle will not be displayed, otherwise Rhode would have been annoyed long ago - but now he feels that it would be better if he is annoyed to death.
The power was so weird. While stimulating the power, Rhodes only felt empty, as if he, the enemy, and everything in the world had no longer existed, or had never existed. This strange feeling made him feel quite uncomfortable, and he even lost his mind in the battle. It was at this time that the strange power burst out and knocked Bartel away.
But... this attribute is really useful, just...
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but calm down and barely swallowed the blood that almost blurted out of his throat. Resisting damage does not mean defending damage. It is impossible to forcefully improve physical attributes without a cost. Now Rhodes feels that he can hardly raise his sword with his hands. Fortunately, Xinghen and Night Dire are not ordinary things, otherwise how could he stand until now?
However, in the eyes of others, Rhodes had not changed much at this moment. At this time, the benefits of Rhodes's Wannian Poker Face flashed. Although he was confused and uncomfortable deep in his heart, his face was still instinctively cold and expressionless. From the eyes of others, it was as if this young man was just waiting for the final result confidently.
"Crash."
And at this moment, the sound of the earth and stones suddenly loosened, and then many people saw the tall figure who was about to be embedded in the stone wall suddenly stood up. Bartel leaned on the sword in both hands and supported his body. However, it seemed that he was seriously injured at this moment. Just standing there was a little shaking, but even so, this still surprised many people--he was still alive...
"Hey, boy, that's a great job."
Regardless of the shocking and inexplicable gazes of others, Bartel opened his mouth and smiled at Rhodes, and the flames in his eyes did not disappear.
"It's been a long time since I've played so well. I'm very good! Not bad, I'll fight again when I have time!!"
Speaking of this, Bartel suddenly pulled out his sword and carried it behind his back. Then he walked out of the ruins of the platform and waved his hand at his subordinates.
"Okay, boys, the show is over, let's go back and have a drink!"
"Is this really good? Mr. Bartel?"
But at this moment, Rhode couldn't help but frown and asked curiously.
"Although I admit that keeping promises is a virtue, I am very curious, why did you make such a bet? To be honest, I have also lost a lot of money now. If you continue, you may still be able to eliminate our starlight, right?"
"Ha, boy, just like Victor, he has many ideas."
Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Bartle laughed and pointed a finger at Rhode.
"Don't go around here. If I hadn't made that bet, how could I really do my best to fight me? I don't know who will lose more then. Now that's it. I haven't met someone who can beat me so embarrassedly, boy, I'm optimistic. Next, I'll leave it to Je. Buried Luosen, the old bastard, under the arena, and make fertilizer!"
After saying this, Bartel turned around without looking back, came to his group of subordinates, and waved his hand.
"Okay, bastards, to celebrate the rare defeat, and to compensate the regrets that the bunnies are not allowed to appear, today I treat you and let them have a good time! Ouch……"
Speaking of this, Bartel seemed to be unable to hold on anymore. His body tilted, and the masked woman who had been quietly following him quickly stepped forward and supported the other party. She looked at Rode, then nodded, turned around and left.
Rhodes looked at the people from the Purple Lily Guild turning around and leaving until their backs disappeared, then turned around and walked to his subordinates.
"Okay, get it done, finish the work."
Then he spoke. (To be continued
