Chapter 59: The Battle to the Death (1)
The dragon's claws with endless rage pressed towards Hercules.
In the face of this claw that seemed to be able to be stepped on even a hill, Hercules had no intention of backing down.
He took a sharp step forward, and the active effect of the final fortress had been activated, and a five-hundred-point life energy shield had appeared in front of him.
Imoji just grabbed the energy shield and shattered it, and was about to grab Hercules again, Hercules suddenly let out a loud roar, and this war roar shook Imoji slightly, and Hercules had already slashed at Imoji's dragon claw:
"Berserk!
Tarsal Strike (A-level Special Skill) (Quest Harvest): Continuously attack the same part of the target, increasing the damage by 20% per attack, increasing in multiple numbers (based on the previous one-hit attack, the incremental effect cannot be applied to weapons), and the maximum stack is tens of times. This skill is not a continuous skill, there is no possibility of interruption, and the first hit after activating the skill is the effective part. The skill duration is three minutes, the mental power consumption is 25, the cooldown time is twenty minutes, the cooldown is shortened by three minutes for each level, the mental power consumption is reduced by 2, the maximum level of the skill is three, and the current level is one.
If Hercules really hits the same target ten times, after ten stacks, each hit is actually equal to six times the damage (100 times 1.2 times ten, which is about 619%) plus weapon damage, starting with his tenth hit.
Based on Hercules' 400 damage points of his bare hands, the maximum attack after increasing to six times can reach 2476 points of damage, and the more than 100 points of damage of the Blade of Judgment have become a negligible number.
However, it is almost impossible to attack the same part of an adventurer ten times in a row in three minutes, unless the difference in agility between the two sides is so large that there is no possibility of dodging the opponent's attack.
Therefore, this skill is really the most suitable target to deal with, but it is those stupid and heavy bosses with super health.
It is said that each class has its own housekeeping skill, and the Tarsal Strike is the ultimate skill of the Berserk Samurai.
Shen Yi had also heard of the tarsal bone attack before, and he also wanted Hong Lang to learn it, but unfortunately, as a final-level skill, it was too rare.
It is said that Hercules consulted a lot of information in order to obtain this skill, and I don't know how much preparation he made to gain it, even so, he only obtained an A-rank instead of a top-level tarsal strike, and this skill is also the biggest capital he dares to fight against the Diamond Holy Dragon with the strength of one person.
In addition, even for adventurers, it may not be ineffective.
Although it is unlikely that the adventurer will be able to hit the same part ten times in a row in three minutes, as long as this skill exists, it is a huge threat, forcing the adventurer to not dare to fight hard.
So when Hercules unleashed the blow of the tarsus, he was in some way invincible.
Hercules hadn't used the Tarsal Strike before because he was studying the Diamond Dragon's fighting style.
Although the Holy Dragon is one of the few intelligent high-level beings who know how to drive away the advantages and avoid the harm, but in the world of the bloody city, the wisdom of human beings itself is the upper limit of the wisdom of all life in the city. Therefore, although the holy dragon is smart, it cannot be compared with humans after all, just as everyone says that dolphins are the most intelligent creatures, but dolphins can never compare IQ with humans.
Hercules is a rare combat genius, and after a battle, he has gradually mastered the rhythm of the Diamond Holy Dragon's battle, its evasive habits and offensive habits. If it is against adventurers, adventurers can also use various means to confuse and change the way of fighting, but Imoji can't be such a genius after all.
At this moment, Hercules slashed Imoji's dragon claw with a sword, Imoji cried out in pain and withdrew his right claw, and at the same time, his left claw stretched forward and tried to grab Hercules again, but at the same time as its right claw followed, Hercules had already dodged to the left, which was able to dodge Imoji's left claw, and at the same time, the Judgment Blade slashed at the right front.
This slash was originally aimed at the empty space in front of him, but at the same time as he drew this sword, Imoji's right claw had already recovered, and the sword qi was hitting the part where Imoji had been injured before.
"Whew!" Imoji cried out in pain, but what it didn't know was that its pain had just begun.
With the second sword slashing, Hercules leaped high and slashed at Imoji's right claw in the face of Imoji's attack.
Although the Blade of Judgment has a special effect that ignores distance, Hercules, as a berserk samurai, can only truly exert his power when slashing in melee combat, so he will still close his opponent as close as possible to melee attacks when conditions allow.
Bang!
At the same time that Hercules slashed Imoji three times, Imoji's dragon claws also slapped Hercules. This time he didn't have the energy shield to protect him.
One man and one dragon were injured at the same time, and Imoji let out a long howl of pain, and Hercules was also hit by this claw. But at the same time as he flew out, he grabbed the void in the left hand of the Diamond Holy Dragon: "Shoot the Void Claw!"
Aerial Claw (Double C-level) (commercially available): An active and passive skill that can be used to grab anything within 100 meters, pull the target object to oneself, or pull oneself to the opponent's side. It can also be used for long-range attacks, and it can be used for long-range attacks, and the use of this skill requires 1 point of mental power and a 10-second cooldown. This skill has no level.
This time the empty claw was not to attack the Diamond Holy Dragon, but directly pulled Hercules back towards Imoji, so that Hercules, who was originally shot away, actually reversed the direction and counterattacked Imoji, and the fourth blow was already slashed towards Imoji, and at the same time, a light lit up on Hercules's body, and it was Meryl who used a healing skill for Hercules in time to restore his life.
"Whoa!" Imoji let out an angry cry, obviously not expecting that Hercules would dare to fight so hard under the influence of the dragon's wrath, and slapped its right claw at Hercules again.
Fighting with strength, relying on his own strong life, Imoji will never believe that the other party can fight him, even if these pesky bed bugs have the ability to recover, it is impossible to use them indefinitely - recovery can never be consumed with attacks, this has already been confirmed by Hong Lang, not to mention the more powerful Diamond Holy Dragon.
However, at the same time as its claw was slapped, Hercules was already looking up to the sky and shouting: "Vampire attack!"
Vampire Attack (B-level Special Skill) (Quest Harvest): Deals 30% lifesteal to the target while dealing normal damage for 1 minute. Consumes 15 mental power and has a cooldown of 10 minutes. Each level increases the lifesteal effect by 5%, up to a maximum of level 3 and the current level of 3.
It is another powerful special ability that Shen Yi has always wanted but has also failed to obtain.
At this time, Hercules is at the peak of the attack, and at the same time is affected by Hercules, Berserk, War Roar and Enhanced Strike, of which Hercules only uses 40 points of power bonus, this is because in the face of the existence of the Diamond Holy Dragon, the ability to continue the battle is more important, so Hercules's current unarmed damage is a maximum of 392 points, and the fourth blow of the Tarsal Strike is 207% damage, plus the Judgment Blade, his total damage is as high as about 970 (not considering the power play, but the power play of the Berserk Samurai itself has always been higher) 。
At this moment of exchanging attacks, Imoji's dragon claw certainly slapped Hercules away again, and he himself was also hit hard, which is not counting, the key is that under this blow, Hercules rushed back as if nothing happened.
It is the powerful recovery ability that the vampire attack brings to him, the forty-five percent lifesuck recovery, coupled with his super high damage, combined with his own high defense, in the face of Imoji's powerful attack, he actually directly absorbed most of the lost life, which is equivalent to Imoji only causing him limited minor injuries.
This is where the strength of the skill set lies, although the tarsal strike is a skill, its attack mode is a normal attack, which is in line with the requirements of a vampiric attack, so the vampiric effect is calculated according to all the damage of Hercules.
As the number of stacks of Tarsal Strikes increases, his attacks become more powerful and his lifesteal effect increases, causing Imoji's attack damage to be almost ineffective against him.
This is like Shen Yi's arc ballistics and moon shooting, the effect is general when used alone, but when the two are combined, they can exert a strong group injury power.
The use of skills is based on combinations to exert their power, but unfortunately, due to the world they enter and their own abilities, although there are many powerful combinations in the city, it does not mean that adventurers will be able to complete the combination.
Hercules, on the other hand, has completed a super beautiful skill set, and it is a multi-skill set.
It was this combination technique that made him fearless in the face of a super existence like the Diamond Holy Dragon.
Many people only know that he didn't have artifacts and bloodlines when he lost to the Colonel, but they don't know that he also failed to complete this skill set at that time. Now let him fight the colonel again, and he can still defeat the colonel without using artifacts and blood.
At this moment, Hercules relied on his own strength to withstand the Diamond Holy Dragon that used the Dragon's Fury, which made Shen Yi and the others also admire.
"What a peerless fierce man, I guess even if it reaches the fourth difficulty, I won't see a few like him. Hong Lang shook his head.
"However, Hercules can't fight like this for too long, and it's impossible to kill Imoji in these few minutes of effective time. King Kong said.
Shen Yi said lightly: "It doesn't matter, strong against strong, as long as he can withstand the most powerful dragon fury form of the Holy Dragon, then everyone will return to the normal state, with so many team members helping, Hercules can still withstand it...... Hmph, that's really his style. ”
If it was Shen Yi, he would definitely choose to run away when the Holy Dragon was angry, and then use his strongest state to bully the Diamond Holy Dragon in a weak state after the time of the Dragon's Wrath had passed, just like when he dealt with Xie Rongjun when he was transformed.
With his strongest state to the strongest state of the Diamond Holy Dragon, this kind of thing is probably what Hercules can do, and he can do it so beautifully.
However, there is a problem here, that is, the duration of the dragon's wrath is three minutes, and the duration of the vampire attack is only one minute, so how can Hercules resist in the next two minutes?
He soon knew the answer.
Hercules doesn't need to resist at all.
Because Imoji actually shrunk his sister.
After experiencing Hercules' sword damage heavier than the other, the dragon had sensed Hercules' attack, so it slammed its right paw towards the ground and sank into the ground, while its left paw slapped Hercules again.
Hide his right claw, so that Hercules' tarsal blow will naturally not be effective.
But in the same way, a Diamond Holy Dragon, which can't move its right claw, also imprisons its offensive flexibility to some extent.
In this case, as the timeliness of the vampire attack disappeared, Hercules went against the norm and actually started a wandering battle, focusing on dodging, defending, and blocking attacks, with his strong defense and the support of many teammates, it was no problem to deal with a two-minute attack of a diamond holy dragon with claws hidden.
Since the three-minute statute of limitations for the tarsal blow still exists, Imoji is still reluctant to fight Hercules, and its "intelligent" brain, after going through the stage of ineffective fighting, has developed the false belief that Hercules can always be so strong, so that it misses the best opportunity in vain.
For this reason, Gentle Hong Lang and the others shook their heads and sighed: "I thought that the Diamond Holy Dragon could surprise us, but it turned out to be disappointing. ”
"I can only say...... Hercules was indeed a fighting genius, and if he was facing a stupid thing right now, he might not have had it so easy. Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
I have to say that in the face of the Diamond Holy Dragon, Hercules did restrain the other party in many aspects, so that until now, Imoji still has no way to take Hercules.
Of course, if it is said that Hercules can completely defeat the Holy Dragon, it is still impossible. In fact, after a round of strong attacks, Hercules's mental consumption of using multiple skills in a row has also been quite a lot. With his current condition, coupled with the blessings of many teammates, being able to kill the Holy Dragon twice in a row is already the limit, and by the time the Holy Dragon is resurrected for the third time, Hercules will have no chance of defeating Imoji.
In this regard, the Ash Chariot is facing a historic dilemma - the inability to succeed.
However, if you change to an ordinary three-difficulty adventurer, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to enjoy the problem of weakness in the future, and you will be hung up.
As the minutes ticked by, Hercules' frenzied blows and the support of his Ash Chariot teammates regained his former majesty and began to let out a low wail.
Its life is coming to an end.
King Kong looked at the time: "It took twenty-seven minutes, and the speed is fast enough." ”
Shen Yi smiled and said: "In the heyday, against the enemy, he was full of physical strength and spirit, just like a 100-meter sprint, and it was not strange to kill the opponent quickly." ”
Gently looked at Shen Yi: "Aren't we going to help? What if Hercules just kills Imoji like this, what if it can't be resurrected?"
Shen Yi replied leisurely: "Don't worry, the Dragon's Death has not yet appeared, which means that Imoji has not yet reached the real end." ”
Dragon's Death, that is the ability that the Divine Dragon Clan will only use when they encounter great danger, and it is also the ultimate ability of every Divine Dragon. The use of Dragonfall is extremely limited due to its power, and some dragons may only have the opportunity to use Dragonfall once in their lifetime, so once they are used, it means that they are infinitely close to extinction.
The dragon's death has not appeared, indicating that the information given to him by the girl in white is not complete, but I am afraid that Imoji does not necessarily need thirty minutes to complete the absorption of the dragon balls.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the light in Imoji's body flowed, and the colorful brilliance bloomed, and a prosperous light flowed out of the long dragon body.
At the same time, the adventurers of the Ash Chariot and the Count Team have simultaneously unleashed their most powerful skills at Imoji.
"Whoa!" With Imoji's painful and angry roar, the diamond dragon's body suddenly turned into countless colored lights and dissipated, condensing into an incomparably huge divine soul in the air, shining in the air like a round of sun.
"It turned out to be accelerated absorption...... You have to be careful of indigestion. Seeing this scene, Shen Yi laughed happily.
For him, this is the best news.
Accelerated absorption is a helpless manifestation of Imoji's reluctance to use the Dragon's Death when the battle situation is unfavorable. Although accelerating absorption can speed up the absorption of divine souls, so that Imoji has two divine souls at once, and even his own strength has begun to reach its peak, but then there is a problem similar to that of adventurers, that is, the inability to succeed.
Since the Dragon Ball had been injured before, the speed at which Imoji absorbed the power of the Dragon Ball had slowed down, and now if it was accelerated again, the subsequent absorption power would be slower and slower. Although Imoji can also be continuously accelerated, the sequelae will become stronger and stronger, once it uses accelerated absorption before each resurrection, it is estimated that it can absorb up to seven or eight divine souls is the upper limit.
In other words, the final resurrection times of this high-level divine dragon will become similar to that of low-level divine dragons, which is definitely great news for Shen Yi and them, whose own strength is not enough to challenge high-level divine dragons.
But at that moment, Shen Yi found that Hercules didn't even glance at the Holy Dragon Divine Soul, but was closing his eyes and thinking about something.
This expression did not have the helplessness of fighting the Holy Dragon, but it was more like a kind of anxious waiting.
Shen Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of unease suddenly appeared in his heart.
"No! there is a problem!" he said.
"What's the question?" everyone asked.
Shen Yi shook his head, he looked into the distance, looked at Hercules, looked at the dragon spirit that was condensing in the air, and then looked at the ash chariot and others behind Hercules, his brows frowned more and more.
He suddenly closed his eyes, and began to recall the previous battle with all his might with the help of his precision talent, and this kind of recall of the battle process that had taken place for nearly half an hour consumed far more brain power than he could have imagined.
In just an instant, Shen Yi was already sweating on his forehead, and countless dazzling scenes flashed in front of him, all of which were pictures of adventurers fighting with Imoji. The speed of these pictures was as fast as if they were playing at thirty times the speed, but Shen Yi memorized them all and quickly completed the interpretation at that moment.
"Ahh
"Shen Yi!" hugged Shen Yi gently, and the next moment Shen Yi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were already full of blood, and he had already shouted loudly: "Twelve people! ”
"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned at the same time, and they looked back at the battlefield again, and found that there were clearly thirteen adventurers standing there, among which Hercules was in front, and the others had always maintained an effective support distance of fifty meters from Hercules.
Shen Yi has shouted: "There are only 12 people fighting, although there is one person who has made a move, but he has never used any skills, it is the second team of the earl, that person is fake, he must have the ability to be similar to a stand-in puppet, but we don't know!
"It's late!" A loud roar suddenly sounded behind Shen Yi and the others, and a thin adventurer suddenly appeared from the void and rushed towards Shen Yi and the others.
At the same time as he rushed to the ground, he had already taken out the team assembly order from the space.
The next moment, Hercules and the others from the distant battlefield had appeared beside Shen Yi and the others at the same time, and to their surprise, this time it was all three teams of people who were teleported over.
Hercules was the first to appear and yelled at Shen Yi, "Don't think about running away this time, Shen Yi!"
The blade of judgment swung angrily, pulling out a Jedi storm and slashing down at Shen Yi!
