Chapter 15: Chapter 15 - Quick Strike is Performed
Broken felt a surge of confidence after securing his new Super Novice Class. He continued to run, maintaining his distance while studying the new set of skills he had just acquired.
[Blessing of Health (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[Grants a temporary boost of health to the user.]
[Boost your overall health by 30%. You're no ordinary beginner -- you're tougher than them and boast impressive strengths -- so show them what you've got!
Mana Cost: 10% of Total Mana.
Cooldown: 60 Minutes.
Duration: 5 Minutes.]
He immediately activated his first skill, which had an extraordinary effect. With just 10% of his total Mana, he could boost his health by a whopping 30%. This was an incredible skill.
[Blessing of Health (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
His Mana was still quite low, so he only needed 60 Mana to activate the skill. But still, a 30% boost was significant, and this was just at level 1, with potential for growth as the skill leveled up.
This skill was perfect for melee users. With a limited amount of Mana, a 30% health boost could significantly increase their survivability. Although this skill might not be as useful for magic users due to their large Mana pools and naturally low health, it was ideal for someone like Broken.
Broken grinned confidently, feeling he now had more options to defend himself against these attackers.
The greatsword man saw the smile on Broken's face and grew angrier. "Stop running away and take my attack like a man, you fool! You don't think you can keep running until your stamina runs out, do you?"
"If you're so skilled, why are you getting provoked by a low-level player?" Broken taunted.
He noticed Polly continuously evading attacks, clearly targeting a mage. Polly had chosen wisely, as she had high magic resistance, and mages generally had lower health, making them easier to defeat.
Broken just needed to hold on until Polly could significantly injure the mage and deliver the final blow.
As the greatsword man charged at him again, Broken moved nimbly, timing his parry with precision. It was a difficult skill to execute, relying heavily on reflexes.
Broken felt a powerful impact as he parried the attack. Even though he succeeded, the force pushed him backward. His sword's durability decreased rapidly from just one hit, and his health dropped significantly despite successfully the attack.
[+6 Ironwood Blade]
[Durability: 38/100]
"Not too shabby... looks like you've got some skills for a low level player. If your level was higher, you might stand a chance against me. But not today, I'm going to crush you into dust," the greatsword-wielding man mocked once more.
[Healing Touch (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[Heals wounds and injuries with a gentle touch.]
[You can heal anything with just a touch of your hand, restoring the target's Health by up to 30% of your magical attack. But you must maintain your goodwill, or else you'll quickly deplete your mana reserves.
Mana Cost: 10% of Total Mana.
Cooldown: 20 Seconds.]
The second skill Broken acquired from Super Novice was a healing skill that also cost 10% of his total Mana Pool. With only a 60 Mana Cost, he could restore up to 30% based on his magic attack value. Unfortunately, his magic attack wasn't very high, so he only got 76 Health regeneration from using this skill.
Given the 10% cost, the skill could have been more effective for him at the moment. If he had a higher Intelligence stat and a higher magic attack, he could utilize this skill more optimally. 10% Total Mana for a 30% heal of Magical Attack was clearly an outstanding skill under favorable conditions.
Polly had managed to inflict significant damage on the Mage, and the other players were starting to panic as they realized Polly's level was higher than they had anticipated.
"Hey, help me! This fox seems to be the real one," the Mage shouted as his Health dropped to half.
"This stupid fox is just like its master, dodging and not daring to face us directly." ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Hurry up and take down this spirit. We don't have much time before the kingdom's troops arrive," they yelled.
Unbeknownst to them, Broken had positioned himself strategically. When he was hit by the greatsword man, he was thrown closer to the Mage. He realized his target was now in the perfect position for a finishing hit.
With limited Mana, he had to use every skill cast efficiently. freewebnoveℓ.com
[Charged Attack (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[The ability to charge up a powerful attack and unleash a devastating blow.]
[The user can leap quickly up to 6 meters away, delivering a mini stun of 0.2 seconds to any opponent they strike. Their attack deals damage equivalent to 180% of their physical attack, ensuring no one can escape their target. Be aggressive, chase them down, and conquer them!
Restriction Skill: Sword Type Weapon
Mana Cost: 120
Cooldown: 45 Seconds]
Broken now sprinted towards the Mage, who was already weakened from Polly's attacks and lying on the ground.
"Hey, idiot, stop him! He's coming to attack me!" the Mage screamed in panic as he saw Broken running towards him.
The greatsword man realized what was happening and chased after Broken. "He's running so slowly; I'll kill him before he reaches you."
But they didn't know that Broken had a new skill!
[Charged Attack (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
Broken immediately launched himself towards the Mage, his body propelling off the ground as he delivered a powerful strike with his sword. The Mage took a heavy blow and fell to the ground, stunned for a moment.
The greatsword man's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Broken's newfound speed and precision. "What the—?"
[Quick Strike (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[The user is able to make quick and powerful strikes with the sword.]
[Carry out a swift attack on the opponent for 210% of your physical attack with a slight chance of dealing a critical of 350% of physical attack.
Be sure to do it correctly, as this attack can be dodged or parried.
Restriction Skill: Sword Type Weapon
Mana Cost: 140
Cooldown: 20 Seconds]
[Quick Strike (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
Broken quickly followed up with a skill from his Super Novice class. His sword sliced through the air towards the fallen Mage with lightning speed and precision.
Knowing he had limited mana, he had to maximize the damage with every attack. He swung his sword with all his might.
[Quick Strike is performed! A critical attack occurs, dealing 350% of physical attack to the target!]
Luck was on his side as the skill triggered a critical hit, dealing a devastating 350% damage. The Mage's Health plummeted drastically, but Broken didn't stop there. He followed up with another attack.
[Multiple cutting edges (Active Skill)]
The sword in his hand moved swiftly, and with deft movements, he slashed at the body of the sprawled Mage. He attempted to pin him down with his feet.
The Mage desperately tried to defend himself against the onslaught, but Broken's agility and proficiency with a sword were too much. With a final, decisive strike, the Mage's body became transparent and began to dissipate into thousands of tiny pixels before fading from sight.
[You have killed JackyChwan Lv. 69]
Broken stood over the remains of the Mage, breathing heavily but feeling a rush of triumph. The greatsword man and the other player killers, witnessing the swift and brutal defeat of their comrade, hesitated. The balance of power had shifted dramatically.
