Chapter 146: Positive and Negative Reversal
The healing skills in the game "Redemption", or the original healing skills of the Eumethian Continent, can be roughly divided into two types in terms of skill effects: healing and self-healing.
From the literal meaning, it can be basically seen that the difference between the two types of skills is to promote the improvement of the injury through external forces, and the other is to supplement the vitality of the wounded themselves and stimulate the self-healing ability of the wounded. But in fact, for players in the game, these two skill classifications don't actually make much sense - players don't care if the healing principle of the priest's healing and rapid self-healing skills is the same, rather than external healing or self-healing, players care more about the difference between instant healing and self-healing.
But while most of the time it doesn't make sense to pursue such a detailed premise — which, of course, is the premise for players who don't know the truth about the plane of Emissia — it's not uncommon for this kind of nitpicking to really work.
In the previous life game forum information mastered by Rococo, on the relevant strategy posts about the world boss Bekaz, there is a more detailed introduction to the two categories of healing skills that no one usually pays attention to, and the reason is that it is precisely because the players in the previous life came up with a clever cracking method for the disgusting devouring corpse and undead blood return skill plague devouring in the third stage of Bekaz when they attacked the world-class boss Bekaz.
After Bekaz became an ordinary boss in his previous life, the state of the plague body was his combat state in the third phase of his HP, although due to the interference of the game system, even if Bekaz used Plague Devour in the third phase, the maximum HP could only be restored to the baseline of entering the third phase of HP, that is, 30% of the total health, but due to Bekaz's strong strength, it is almost impossible to be undead in the boss battle, As a result, the Plague Devouring skill is a headache for almost every team that hits the third stage of Bekaz's HP.
However, by chance, when a well-known guild elite group was attacking the third stage of Bekaz, they found that when they used the self-healing blood recovery skill on the devoured corpse when Bekaz used the plague devour on the corpse, Bekaz would not return blood after devouring the corpse, and even if the priest's healing amount was enough, Bekaz was likely to have inverted blood after devouring the corpse that was released from the self-healing skill.
While it was common knowledge in Redemption that healing skills were equivalent to damage skills if cast on undead creatures, Beccaz's third form was a well-known exception at the time. Because although Bekaz in the third form is called the "plague monster Bekaz", in fact, this is only created by Bekaz using the plague poison to mutate his body, and it is not Bekaz himself who has become a plague undead, so even if he uses healing skills on Bekaz, it will not cause damage to Bekaz, who is essentially a non-undead creature. Because of this background, after the fact that self-healing skills can restrain Bekaz's plague devouring was exposed, many strategy enthusiasts in the game gathered at the border of the continent and began to conduct "inhumane" strategy experiments on Bekaz, the world-class boss wandering here, again and again to investigate the cause.
The hard work paid off, and the principle was soon revealed by one of the game's famous scholars. The reason why the healing skill can hurt the undead is because the positive energy contained in the healing skill is a deadly thing for the undead who rely on the negative life force to survive, and conversely, the negative life force that the undead rely on to survive is also the deadliest poison for the real life because of the same reason. The reason why Bekaz, the plague monster form who is not a plague undead creature, can replenish his life by devouring corpses and undead through the plague devouring skill is precisely because the plague devouring skill has the ability to convert the devoured negative life force into positive energy with Bekaz's unique plague poison that can blur the boundary between life and death.
The principle of self-healing skills is to inject positive energy into the target's body to stimulate the recipient's self-healing ability. With this in mind, the answer is obvious: if the self-healing skill is released on the corpse that Bekaz absorbs with Plague Devour, then the positive energy injected through the skill will instead turn into a negative life force under the effect of the Plague Devouring skill, and will be absorbed into the body by Bekaz, a living person who looks like a dead man. If this is compared to eating, then for Bekaz it is really a feeling of "in the meal, and is poisonous".
In any case, after this discovery was announced, the success rate of directly allowing players from all walks of life to farm Bekaz, a world-class boss, has increased by several steps, after all, the most disgusting devouring blood regeneration attribute skill in the third stage of the most difficult boss has been cracked. It's just that the players who first discovered this fact and analyzed the mystery would never have imagined that Bekaz himself didn't actually know about the fact that they discovered and revealed it to all players before he lost himself.
Yes, it may sound incredible, but it is exactly what it is. As mentioned earlier, Bekaz has rarely fought the enemy head-on in his career because of his sinister personality behind his preferences, and he has hardly been forced out of the Plague Body skill in battles, so he has no chance to test his Plague Devouring Skill in the Plague Body state over and over again like players do with the bosses.
The principle of plague devouring being restrained by self-healing skills is not complicated at all for a magic person like Bekaz, and even as long as someone mentions a little beginning, Bekaz himself may be able to figure out all of it, but the fact is often like this, even if it is a simple logic like one plus one equals few, if a person's mind never ponders in that direction, he will not be able to discover the mystery hidden behind it.
Therefore, in Bekaz's opinion, who didn't know at all - or didn't expect that his plague devouring skill would have such a fatal loophole, his practice of leaving the corpse of a plague bone dragon as a "reserve food" and casting the plague devouring skill can definitely be said to be inexplicable. With Godhead Fragments, he doesn't have to worry about being limited by Mira's game rules system, and he can only regenerate 30% of his health. The corpse of a plague bone dragon is enough for him to devour and directly turn into a state of full health, and the powerful attribute bonuses of the bone dragon will also appear on his body temporarily, and he can easily torture and kill Rococo, which has less than half of his blood, when the time comes.
It's just that these sweet dreams instantly shattered as if they had been poked by bubbles the moment he saw the emerald green life breath emanating from the Rococo who rushed over.
Maybe such a short time was not enough for him to figure out the logic of the self-healing skill to crack the plague devouring, but instinct told Bekaz that what Rococo was about to do with that rich breath of life at this moment was a deadly threat to him.
Unfortunately, his hunch was right.
"Nature's Breath!"
As a primordial goblin born from the soul of the World Tree, Rococo not only has the ability to control the power of the soul, but also has a deep attainment in the use and manipulation of life force. Nature's breath is a powerful self-healing reincarnation skill that Rococo can use in the original goblin mode, and the description of the skill given in the system is: using the super high affinity between the primordial goblin and nature to establish communication with the surrounding natural environment, temporarily borrowing and gathering a large amount of life force to inject into the body of the recipient, borrowing the blessings of nature can even make the dying completely healed.
As early as a few days ago, after seeing the strategy of players to crack Bekaz's plague devouring skill from the materials of his previous life, Rococo thought of this super blood recovery skill in his original goblin mode. Being able to instantly infuse a target with a large amount of positive life force from the surrounding nature is undoubtedly a deadly poison for Bekaz who unsuspectingly uses the plague devour to regain his blood.
Thinking about this, there is a scene in today's battle, when Rococo is fighting against Bekaz after entering the Plague Body mode, he will fight against himself and insist on exchanging blood with Bekaz. For the time-limited Rococo in Primordial Fairy Mode, the safest chance is to beat Bekaz to the point where he has to replenish his health as quickly as possible, and then use Nature's Breath to end his life once and for all when he uses the Plague Devour.
Although Bekaz himself is a man of intrigue and generally cautious, as Conte says about Bekaz, he also has a very contradictory conceit, and he may be more careful than anyone else when he is skeptical, but if he thinks something is settled, Bekaz rarely doubts his own decision.
Rococo takes advantage of this, playing a character who is slightly inexperienced in combat, with a straightforward fighting style and a rush to solve the battle from the very beginning. Gradually inducing Bekaz to convince him that he knew nothing about his Plague Body skill, especially the Plague Devouring skill, finally made Bekaz use it in front of her eyes without any scruples and think she was victorious.
Then the next thing is very simple, the Rococo skill is shot, and the life force from nature converges into a torrent to the corpse of the plague bone dragon at Bekaz's feet, and part of it immediately merges with the negative energy in the plague bone dragon's body, and the other part is converted into negative energy by Bekaz's skill and then devoured it.
In the end, when Bekaz finally reacted to something was wrong and withdrew from the bone dragon's corpse, his HP decreased from about fifteen percent to less than five percent in an instant.
On the other side, Rococo's primordial fairy transformation time still has the last five minutes...... More than enough!
