Chapter 603: 603
Chapter 603 - S-rank
Time passed quickly, and Shi Feng’s head was spinning .
This was a test meant to determine a player’s understanding of themselves and their abilities .
If a player overestimated their strength and skills, they might bring about their own deaths due to choosing monsters that were too strong . On the other hand, if they chose monsters that were overly weak, they might fail their quest due to having insufficient time .
In other words, the more a player understood of their own strength, the more benefits they could obtain through this test .
With Berserk Skills such as Heavenly Dragon’s Power and Blade Liberation, although it was possible for Shi Feng to kill a Lord of the same Level, the same did not true for a group of Lords . Hence, Shi Feng could not make this decision lightly .
System: You have 30 seconds to consider . Please make your decision as soon as possible .
“I choose one Lord and nine Chieftains,” Shi Feng said, finally deciding .
System: Opponents confirmed . Based on the analysis of your combat power, this test’s difficulty is A-rank . Once victorious, you will obtain a key that can be used to open Shrine Gates that are Dark-Gold rank or lower . Do you wish to confirm your choice?
Dark-Gold rank? Shi Feng immediately felt that something was amiss . Hurriedly, he said, “I wish to change my selection to two Lords and eight Chieftains . ”
His quest was Epic rank . It was clear that he would not be able to obtain the Bible of Darkness if he could only visit Dark-Gold Shrines . He needed to be able to enter Epic Shrines . Otherwise, even if he won this battle, he would still fail his quest .
System: Opponents confirmed . Based on the analysis of your combat power, this test’s difficulty is A-rank . Once victorious, you will obtain a key that can be used to open Shrine Gates that are Dark-Gold rank or lower . Do you wish to confirm your choice?
Crap! Even with two Lords, it’s still hasn’t reached S-rank? Shi Feng inwardly cursed . “Change my selection to three Lords and seven Chieftains . ”
Shi Feng should be at his limit with two Lords . There was only a 50% chance that he would emerge victorious from such a battle . If he faced three Lords, based on his estimations, his success rate would be less than 20% .
System: Opponents confirmed . Based on the analysis of your combat power, this test’s difficulty is S-rank . Once victorious, you will obtain a key that can be used to open Shrine Gates that are Epic rank or lower . Do you wish to confirm your choice?
“Confirm!” Shi Feng shouted, gritting his teeth . Hopefully, the line-up of these Lords won’t be too powerful .
A moment later, ten monsters appeared before Shi Feng on the altar; three of them were Lords, and seven were Chieftains . All ten monsters were combat puppets of the same shape and size as an average player . In terms of Attributes, however, they were leaps and bounds above Shi Feng .
[Golden Puppet] (Lord Rank)
Level 32
HP 1,600,000/1,600,000
[Silver Puppet] (Chieftain Rank)
Level 32
HP 550,000/550,000
Good, my luck isn’t that rotten after all . These puppets are all melees, and their HPs are quite low as well . I shouldn’t have too many issues if I fight them from a distance . Shi Feng released a sigh of relief .
When the battle started, the ten puppets began moving . Step by step, they slowly approached Shi Feng, lacking the dexterity of a living creature . However, Shi Feng did not dare to be careless . Immediately, he activated Heavenly Dragon’s Power, increasing his Strength by 100% and Defense and HP by 300% . Instantly, Shi Feng’s HP broke through the 30,000 threshold .
Sure enough, Lords were not that easy to deal with .
The instant Shi Feng activated Heavenly Dragon’s Power, the combat puppets dashed towards him, much faster than an ordinary Chieftain and Lord .
The ten combat puppets crossed the distance of 50 yards in the blink of an eye . The first to attack were the Silver Puppets, who thrust their spears at Shi Feng . Following closely, the Golden Puppets unsheathed the twin swords slung over their backs .
Without hesitation, Shi Feng activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame and Black Emperor, holding nothing back . Deep blue flames covered Shi Feng’s entire body, raising his fire and ice damage by 40% . Shi Feng then used Skywheel Sword, sealing the movements of all ten combat puppets within a fixed perimeter . He followed up with a Firestorm .
Ice-blue flames devoured the ten combat puppets, dealing over -20,000 damage, or -40,000 damage with a critical hit, to all ten puppets every second for five seconds . When the spell’s duration ended, the ten combat puppets had received over -100,000 damage each . Shi Feng fully displayed the devastating might of the large-scale destruction spell .
Meanwhile, Shi Feng collected 30 stacks of Death Aura from this single attack .
“I’ll get rid of one of you first . ”
Shi Feng then took out a bottle of Hundred Berry Wine from his bag, drinking it . Instantly, his compatibility rate with his swords soared . Moving towards a Silver Puppet with less than 300,000 HP remaining, he used Phantom Kill, followed by Flame Burst .
Twenty-four consecutive strikes!
Twenty-four swords of light illuminated the altar . The Silver Puppet faded out of existence .
Although Shi Feng killed one Silver Puppet, the remaining six Silver Puppets and three Golden Puppets caught him in a pincer attack .
With his most powerful Burst Skill exhausted, Shi Feng used Thunder Flame Explosion to slow the remaining combat puppets, as well as deal over -10,000 damage to each . Due to his compatibility rate rising, he managed to achieve a 95% Completion Rate on Thunder Flame Explosion, reducing the Movement Speed of these combat puppets for over 10 seconds . Following which, he switched to the Aura of Wind, turning around and fleeing with his doppelganger .
Facing two Lords at the same time was already enough to overwhelm Shi Feng, not to mention three Lords and six Chieftains simultaneously .
With the Aura of Wind’s Movement Speed Increase and Thunder Flame Explosion’s Movement Speed Reduction, the Silver Puppets were unable to catch up with Shi Feng . As for the Golden Puppets, although their speed allowed them to keep up with Shi Feng, their occasional attacks caused their speed to drop sharply as well . As a result, it became impossible for them to surround Shi Feng .
Meanwhile, Shi Feng activated Nine Dragons Slash, the twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms constantly assaulting the distant Silver Puppets . From time to time, Shi Feng would also attack with the Blazing Meteor . Although damage from his ranged attacks caused was not as high as the Abyssal Blade, each attack still dealt around -2,000 to -3,000 damage . Occasionally, Shi Feng would also use Thundering Flash to inflict the Damage Amplification effect on the remaining nine combat puppets .
Shi Feng also constantly expended the Death Auras he accumulated to reduce the Cooldown of Thunder Flame Explosion, Thundering Flash, and other Skills . Among them, he reduced the Cooldown of Flame Burst the most .
In such a way, Shi Feng reduced the Movement Speed of all combat puppets while exterminating the Silver Puppets . From time to time, he would use Flame Burst to instant-kill a Silver Puppet .
In less than two minutes, Shi Feng had annihilated all of the Silver Puppets; only three Golden Puppets remained .
However, these three Golden Puppets were inseparable . Shi Feng could not find a chance to take them on one-on-one . Moreover, even though so much time had passed since the battle began, the three Golden Puppets were still at full HP thanks to their battle recovery .
Even when Shi Feng activated Wind Rider and managed to single out one of the Golden Puppets with his overwhelming speed, the remaining two would quickly catch up . As a result, Shi Feng could only land a few hits before he was forced to retreat .
This is troublesome . Although the Golden Puppets do not have any Skills, the three of them are like a single entity, attacking and defending as one . Shi Feng, who hovered in the air, frowned at the three Golden Puppets .
The Golden Puppets were too powerful when working together . Moreover, the Heavenly Dragon’s Power’s duration would end soon . At that time, even a battle of attrition would be difficult against the three Golden Puppets .
“Do I have no other choice?” Shi Feng muttered as he reluctantly retrieved an aqua-blue Magic Scroll from his bag .
This was his greatest trump card, one that he never thought of using .
Watching the remaining seconds of the Heavenly Dragon’s Power’s duration tick by, Shi Feng had no choice but to unfurl the aqua-blue Magic Scroll .
