Chapter 63
63. Break The Record! Go Beyond The History! The Whole School Cheers! Challenge The Top 100 List!
Because of the skills Li Xian possesses——
Thorns skill!
Under the action of the thorns skill.
Every time Li Xian is attacked.
It will reflect 10% of the damage of the opponent’s attack.
Give yourself the target of the attack!
This bounce effect works on all types of attacks.
No matter the occupation of the type of physical output.
Or a professional of the spell output type ~.
All cannot be avoided.
therefore.
Under the attack of fire raindrops condensed by the Doomsday Fire Rain skill.
Every time Li Xian takes damage.
It will reflect 10% of the damage of the fire raindrops to Yan Jiu!
“Yan Jiu’s profession is a mage profession.”
“Even if it’s rank three, and you have a piece of equipment.”
“Its own health is at most three or four thousand points!
“Raindrops of fire condensed by the doomsday fire rain.
“The damage caused to me is around 500 points.”
“In addition to the more than 400 points that have been reduced by my injury reduction attribute.”
“It can be calculated that the damage of each drop of fire rain is between 900 and 1000!
“That is to say.
“I am attacked by every drop of fire rain.”
“It can cause 90~100 damage to Yan Jiu! 55
“Only need to take no more than 50 drops of fire rain damage. 99
“You can use the anti-damage effect of the thorns skill.
“Complete the counter-kill against Yan Jiu!”
“As for the number of attacks I can take…””
Li Xian’s mind was racing.
A rough figure was quickly calculated:
“Under the effect of damage reduction attributes and continuous skills.
“Every drop of fire rain does me damage.
“Probably between 10 and 30!”
“With my current health of more than 20,000 points.”
“At least can withstand more than 700 drops of fire and rain damage!””
“And this is not counting the blood recovery of tenacious skills.””
“And without using the Unmoving Skill!”
“If you count it all.”
“Even if I don’t use the thorns skill to deal damage to Yan Jiu.
“It can also directly withstand Yan Jiu’s SSS-level doomsday fire and rain skills!
“So… am I already so good?”
Looking into the sky.
The doomsday fire rain and raindrops that kept falling.
Li Xian’s heart is full of pride!
But soon.
The cloud of fire in the sky is gone!
Even with those fire raindrops that have been lowered to half.
Before successfully hitting Li Xian.
All disappeared without a trace!
And the reason for this is very simple –
Yan Jiu is dead!
The Doomsday Fire and Rain skill strikes at a very high frequency.
Just less than two seconds.
Li Xian has suffered more than fifty blows!
on the contrary.
Yan Jiu naturally endured more than fifty thorns skill retaliation.
90~100 damage over fifty times.
It’s enough to kill Yan Jiu!
so.
Yan Jiu lost!
“Does this count as killing myself, committing suicide? 35
“But then again.
“If it wasn’t me standing here.”
“It is estimated that few of the same level can hold it? 95
“And there are only 24 such roles! 95
“Those who are stronger than him.
“How powerful will it be?”
Looking at Yan Jiu, who had turned into an ordinary flame and fell on the ring.
Li Xian compared the students ahead of the top 100 list.
I’m starting to get a little interested!
Heart also can not help.
There is a desire to fight with them!
And at the same time that these thoughts arose in Li Xian’s mind.
Dunya also uses resurrection skills.
Completed the resurrection of Yan Jiu.
Came to Li Xian again:
“Li Xian, do you still need to challenge the top 100 students?”
Li Xian nodded:
“Of course! 35
Deng Ya nodded.
He waved his hand again.
Summon the 10th to 23rd students on the top 100 list.
“The top 10 students are unique.
‘I want to challenge students within the top ten.
“First of all, we need to challenge the tenth place and replace the tenth place.”
“Then the students within the top ten can continue.
“Therefore, your opponent for this challenge.
“Only choose from 10th to 23rd!
“Li Xian, please choose the target you want to challenge!
Are there only 14 candidates this time?
Li Xian quickly checked the challengeable list provided by Deng Ya.
Same as the previous few times.
There are still no students of the cockroaches here!
“Among the many demihuman races. 35
“The cockroach is only one of the small races after all.
“Just famous for being hostile to the shield hero.”
“Where are there so many strong men!”
Li Xian shook his head.
The 10th ranked student said:
“Just choose this one!”
“No. 10 on the top 100 list, is Crimson Devil Triatt?”
Deng Ya said with a cautious expression on her face:
“Student Li Xian, one of the top ten students.
“There is a huge gap with the students outside the top ten.
“Are you sure you really want to challenge Classmate Triatt?
Crimson Devil?
It seems that this is still a well-known student with a nickname!
Li Xian nodded firmly and said:
“It’s sure to be him! Tutor, please inform him!””
“okay, I get it!”
Look at Li Xian’s insistence.
Deng Ya will not continue to dissuade her.
Reach out to the avatar of Triath, who is number 10 on the top 100 list.
It was transmitted to Triat.
News that someone wants to challenge his ranking.
A villa area for the third year of Yaren University.
In the basement of Villa No. 010.
Triatt, who was closing his eyes and resting, opened his eyes.
“Someone wants to challenge my ranking? 39
“Interesting! The guy at number 11 has a new breakthrough.
“The guy who was in the thirteenth place has come back from his training?”
“Or maybe someone else has a new breakthrough?”
In anticipation of wanting to see a challenger
Triat murmured to himself and walked out of the Villa 010.
Subsequently.
“Whoa-”
A pair of bat-like demon wings.
Suddenly, it sticks out from behind Triat!
Then Triatt flew directly into the sky.
Fly towards Qingqiu Square!
And when Triatt arrived.
On the ring of Qingqiu Square.
Li Xian also shared Deng Ya with himself.
News related to Triat, who is number 10 on the top 100 list.
Check out all of them!
Triatt, junior year.
Ranked 10th in the Top 100 Asian University Rankings!
The current level is 40.
It is only one job change away from the fourth round!
His occupation is Demon Hunter.
It is a type of monster that hunts demons.
Possesses the organs or special abilities of demon-like monsters.
The powerful ability to temporarily plunder yourself!
In the case of full theoretical combat power.
Even the first student in the Asian University Top 100 list.
Neither is Triat’s opponent.
If nothing else.
The survival game in this year’s National College Ranking Competition.
Triatt will be one of the representatives of Asian University!
And it is better than those students in the top ten.
More hope to get a good ranking for Yaren University!
certainly.
In the ring battle in the school.
It is impossible for Triatt to exert his full fighting power.
After all, there are no creatures like demons here.
Give him temporary loot organs or special abilities.
You can only fight on your own strength.
and this.
And that’s why he succumbed to number 10!
“Crimson Demon Triat?”
“From his profile.”
“It will really be a very strong opponent!””
Look at the information in your hands.
Li Xian is looking forward to Triatt’s appearance!
But it was in Li Xian’s expectation.
in the distant sky.
A black spot appeared!
“Crimson Demon Triat, is it here?”
In Li Xian’s muttering.
Triatt in the sky put away his demon wings.
Like a cannonball.
Fall quickly towards the ring!
“boom–”
A huge roar sounded.
Ranked 10th in the top 100 list——
Crimson Demon Triat.
Appeared in Li Xian.
And in the eyes of all the students around the arena!
“Fuck! Treyatt, No. 10 on the top 100 list!”9
“Lord Li Xian actually challenged the 10th-ranked students!
“This is going to make big news! Can Master Li Xian really beat Senior Triath?””
“I have a hunch it’s going to be a really good fight!
“Where’s the phone? Where’s my phone? I’m going to take a picture of this battle and upload it online!
In the excited shouting of the students around the ring.
Triatt also raised his head.
He looked at Li Xian who was standing next to Deng Ya.
Subsequently.
A look of doubt appeared on Triatt’s face:
“Face? I don’t remember seeing you on the top 100 list!
“You can actually challenge me?
Triatt doesn’t seem to know him.
Li Xian, the shield hero who has recently made a national sensation.
She looked at Deng Ya next to her suspiciously:
“Teacher Deng Ya, during my retreat. 99
“what’s going on?
“Why is there an unfamiliar face.”
“Have you qualified enough to challenge me?”
“Is such that………
Deng Ya brought up things related to Li Xian.
And the matter of defeating a number of top 100 students in a row just now.
All told to Triatt.
And after listening to Deng Ya’s statement.
Triatt looked at Li Xian’s expression.
There was also a hint of shock:
“You really only have one turn of strength.
“It hasn’t reached the level of second turn yet?””
Li Xian smiled lightly:
“Is there a difference between the first turn and the second turn? 95
“As long as my fighting strength is enough to defeat you all!
“Isn’t it?”
Triatt was stunned.
Then quickly responded.
“Hahaha! You are right! 95
“Whether it’s one turn or two.
“Having the power to challenge me at this level.””
“You’ve already beaten me too much!”
“but…
The expression on Triat’s face suddenly changed.
With a ferocious and terrifying expression.
With a face full of intimidation, he said:
“I will let you know.”
“Cadet who experienced front-line combat. 35
“The difference with you students who have never been on the front lines!””
The voice fell.
A faint blue flame ignited on Triat.
Subsequently.
A pair of huge demon wings.
Stretching out from behind him!
Then go on.
His face changed rapidly.
Become evil, terrifying and hideous.
Like an abyss demon!
The two handles flashed green light.
Like a crescent moon.
But it has a handle in the middle of the meniscus.
An exotic weapon that can be held from the middle.
With this change of his.
And it appeared on Triatt’s hands!
“call–”
Triatt transformed into battle form.
He exhaled a long breath of blue flames.
Subsequently.
He looked at Deng Ya and said:
“Teacher Deng Ya, announce the start of the battle!”
Deng Ya didn’t respond to Triatt.
Instead, he looked at Li Xian and said:
“Student Li Xian, you are sure to treat classmate Triyatt.
“Initiating this battle for the top 100 rankings?
In Dun Ya’s inquiry.
Li Xian nodded solemnly.
In a very serious tone, he said:
“I’m sure to challenge it!
Deng Ya stopped inquiring.
The wings on her back fluttered gently.
fly into the sky.
Flying out of the fighting range of the ring.
“I declare!”
“The battle for the top 100 rankings. 95
“Start now!
The moment Deng Ya’s voice fell.
Triatt’s figure.
It immediately disappeared from Li Xian’s field of vision!
“Gone? Displacement skills such as teleportation.”
“Or stealth skills?
Li Xian was alert.
Protect your face, hands, and legs with a shield.
Prevent the opponent from attacking the area that you are not protected by the equipment.
Don’t let the other person go through behaviors that cause you pain.
to affect yourself.
And after taking these precautions.
Li Xian began to turn his body slowly.
Looking for the other party’s figure in the ring.
And behind Li Xian.
Use the Shunpo skill.
Triatt appeared silently behind Li Xian.
See Li Xian making the right choice.
Heart could not help but a burst of amazement.
“Although this guy’s level is very low.”
“But the fighting consciousness is not bad at all!”
“Knowing that’s the best defense strategy.
“but..
“The premise of all this is.
“You can withstand my output!
There was a flash of green light from the weapon above Triatt’s hands.
Subsequently.
“Shhhh-”
A dazzling knife light flashed.
Just a blink of an eye.
Triatt inflicted damage to Li Xian six times.
“-828!”
“+475!99
“-787!35
“+475!””
The feeling of being attacked by a weapon behind him came.
One by one damage value and HP recovery value.
In front of Li Xian constantly flashed.
Li Xian didn’t have to look back.
He knew that it must be Triatt who appeared behind him.
He is attacking himself!
And at the moment when Li Xian realized this.
Because of being attacked by Triat.
Li Xian was judged to be in combat mode.
The sacrifice skill is activated immediately!
“boom–”
A surging spark gushed out from Li Xian’s body.
In an instant, it enveloped the area within fifteen meters centered on Li Xian.
Just behind Li Xian is Triat.
Naturally, it is impossible to escape the coverage of the sacrificial skills.
That endless spark spread into his body.
Burning his internal organs and body surface skin!
while causing him pain.
It also caused him a huge amount of damage!
“-895!99
“I’ve been attacked?”
The moment you get hurt.
Triatt was immediately in the first place.
Use “Shunpo”, a movement skill other than your own
.
“Whoosh-”
With the use of Shunpo skills.
Triatt disappeared.
Wait until it reappears.
He has drawn a long distance from Li Xian.
Appeared outside the 15-meter range of the sacrificial skill!
“Is this flame his means of attack?”
“It hurts me.”
“More damage than I did to him?”5
Triatt looked at Li Xian in surprise.
Then he discovered something that surprised him even more—
He just had a hard time.
Only about one-twentieth of the blood volume vacancy caused by Li Xian.
Just a second or two.
It has been restored to full value!
“It can cause about 10% damage rebound.”
“Has four or five hundred points of high damage reduction.””
“And four or five hundred points of attack to restore health effect.” 5
“Plus seven or eight hundred points of life recovery.”
“And strange fire skills that deal damage per second. 35
“This guy is really tough!”
“No wonder I got the qualification to challenge me!
through brief encounters.
Triatt, who has figured out many of Li Xian’s attributes and abilities.
The look in Li Xian’s eyes changed.
Li Xian is no longer considered a talent.
Only one turn level.
A talented little boy with rank three combat power.
Instead, he really regarded Li Xian as his opponent.
Treat it as an opponent that needs to be treated with caution!
and in the mind.
I started to think about how to deal with Li Xian!
And while Triat was thinking about countermeasures carefully.
Li Xian looked at Triat outside the sacrifice range.
I also started thinking about it in my mind!
“Six attacks in less than a second. 35
“His attack speed is high!”
“Obviously an output class that favors agility! 99
“However, while he is attacking at a very high speed. 99
“There is still such a high level of damage that it exceeds Yan Jiu’s!”
“By the nature of the occupation type, this is impossible!”
“Unless he cheated like I did!
“But it’s obviously impossible!
“So there must be something wrong with that!”
“It is for some reason that his output is very high!
“FFT……..
Appear Triat behind his back.
And after connecting with things that attacked themselves behind their backs.
Li Xian came up with a possibility——
Assassin type professional ability “backstab” skill effect!
He used the backstab skill.
Can cause so much damage to me!
Just don’t let him attack my back.
His damage will decrease rapidly.
Too few to break through my defenses!
At the same time that Triat analyzed the attribute data of Li Xian.
Li Xian also found a way to counter Triatt.
And right now!
Because it has not been attacked for a long time.
Li Xian’s sacrificial skill.
It is judged that Li Xian has withdrawn from the combat state.
So it returned from the active state to the dormant state.
All the sparks surrounding Li Xian’s body disappeared!
That is, at the same time that these sparks disappeared.
“Whoosh-”
Triatt’s figure disappeared again!
“It won’t let you succeed!
Triatt disappeared at the same time.
Li Xian turned around suddenly.
Raise the shield in your hand and aim it behind you.
“clang–
“clang–“”
clang–”
”
Another five attacks appeared in a row.
Li Xian’s damage has indeed been greatly reduced!
“-334!””
“+475!”5
“-394!””
“+455!”
Triatt’s damage to Li Xian.
It can’t even keep up with the number of Li Xian’s skill recovery!
But it’s weird!
Under Triat’s attack.
Li Xian’s damage reduction attribute and health regeneration value.
All showed a reduction!
Five attacks down.
Li Xian only has 400 damage reduction stats left!
The amount of health restored by tenacious skills.
Also reduced to 380 points!
When it comes to the last time.
Even without the blessing of the backstab effect.
Triatt can still deal damage to Li Xian!
“It gave me the weakened damage reduction attribute.”
“And the negative state of reduced health regeneration?””
“As expected of being ranked 10th, it is indeed a bit difficult!
“but….
“My sacrifice skill has been activated.
“You’re going to keep attacking me.”
“Or do I have to leave temporarily and let my health regenerate?”
Feel the activation of the sacrifice skill.
The feeling of sparks pouring out from within.
Li Xian didn’t panic at all!
And the spark that spread out in Li Xian’s body.
When it is about to cover Triat.
Triat teleported directly.
Out of the attack range of the sacrifice skill!
“Want to run? It’s impossible for you to run!
“Continue to accept the attack of the sacrificial skill!
Triatt chose to temporarily withdraw from the battle.
Do not continue to entangle with Li Xian.
But Li Xian is not willing to let him go!
Teleport towards where Triatt appeared.
Li Xian ran away!
Attempt to use your sacrificial skills.
Continue to burn Triatt.
Until his life is exhausted!
But right now!
“Whoosh-”
Triatt disappeared again.
“Want to continue fighting with me?”
Li Xian did not hesitate or hesitate at all.
Just a turn around.
Aim the shield behind him.
“clang–
“Clang one””
“clang
really!
Triatt really wanted to attack Li Xian again.
Fortunately, Li Xian responded quickly.
A countermeasure was made in the first place.
That’s why I didn’t receive Triatt’s continuous backstabs!
but…
Before waiting for Li Xian’s heart to rise a trace of happiness.
··0 Seeking flowers…..
Triatt disappeared again!
“Continuous teleportation, this is to fight me to the end.””
“Who’s life will be exhausted first?””
Li Xian turned around again without hesitation.
but..
!
Triatt is not behind Li Xian!
“where is he?”
Li Xian looked around.
But Triatt was not seen.
But in the next second!
“Pfft…””
“Pfft-
“Pfft – 95
Li Xian felt the attack from behind again.
I saw the health reduction data that appeared in front of me!
Li Xian turned around suddenly.
But found that Triatt disappeared again.
But not after Li Xian again.
Instead, it appeared outside the damage range of the sacrifice skill!
and.
The moment Li Xian saw him.
He disappeared again!
“It’s getting more difficult!
Li Xian turned around again.
Face the opponent with a shield.
“clang–
“Clang one
“clang
really!
Triatt’s attack landed on Li Xian’s shield again.
and.
When Li Xian removed his shield.
Triatt also left in front of Li Xian again.
But it’s not another appearance behind Li Xian.
Instead, he teleported outside the range of the sacrifice skill first.
Then it disappeared again.
Teleport to Li Xian and attack Li Xian!
“What is he doing…
Triatt’s actions made Li Xian a little puzzled.
But soon.
When I saw that Triat was only injured by the thorns skill.
However, after taking no damage from the sacrifice skill.
Li Xian understands Triatt’s tactical train of thought!
Sacrifice skill damage is very high.
But it takes a second to deal damage to the enemy target!
Just in this second.
Complete the attack on Li Xian and get out of the Sacrifice skill range.
It can perfectly avoid the damage of sacrificial skills!
He was originally able to deal six damage per second.
Reduced to five damage per second.
The purpose is to use the damage chance of this last attack.
to get the time to use the teleport skill to escape the sacrifice skill!
“Great! As expected of a top 10 existence.
“The speed of reflexes, the agility of the mind and the tactical formulation.
“Sure enough, he deserves this ranking!”
“If it continues like this.”
“Without a doubt, I will lose this challenge!””
“but…
Li Xian’s eyes flashed slightly.
Then—
“Still as a mountain! 9
A phantom like a mountain peak.
It flashed across Li Xian’s body.
Immediately after.
A layer cannot be seen with the naked eye.
But it can act like a thin film that senses airflow.
Covering Li Xian’s whole body!
Then go on.
Triatt’s attack is ineffective!
“-232!
“+350!55
“-249!”5
“+350!99
Under the blessing of immovable skills.
Even behind Li Xian.
It was also judged to be defending with armor.
Does not activate Triatt’s backstab effect.
Then.
Under the 20% damage reduction effect of the Unmoving Skill.
The amount of damage that Triatt has dealt to Li Xian.
It can no longer exceed the value Li Xian recovers after being attacked!
You are as strong as you are, and the breeze blows the hills!
You are as you are, and the bright moon shines on the river!
This sentence,
It is the best description of the current battle between Li Xian and Triat!
Relying on a Shunpo skill.
Triatt flickered and flickered.
One moment here, one moment there.
There is no way for people to comprehend his traces at all.
There is no way to deal with his attack!
But what’s the point of that?
His attack can’t break Li Xian’s defense at all!
Even if it continues to attack for a day, a year, a hundred years!
It is also impossible to reduce Li Xian’s health!
and.
If Li Xian really wanted to kill Triat.
He just needs to use the Feast skill.
Just take a sip.
You can kill Triat completely in seconds!
And it’s still possible.
The kind of instant kill that even the resurrection skills can’t revive!
“It just kept him jumping around.”
“Jump to be killed by the thorns’ counter-injury effect!” 5
Li Xian continued to maintain a defensive stance.
While waiting quietly for the end of this battle!
And while Li Xian was waiting.
The bells and whistles of Triatt.
Suddenly stopped and continued to use the blinking skill to teleport.
Stand still and stop attacking!
“What’s the matter? Don’t you continue to attack?”
Li Xian looked at Triat with some doubts.
Just about to ask.
The demonization effect on Triat suddenly disappeared.
Subsequently.
Triat looked at Deng Ya with a sullen face and said:
“Teacher Deng Ya, I admit defeat!
“This guy is a monster!” 5
“I can’t beat this guy at all!””
“You win!
Li Xian:””
Deng Ya:
Students around the ring:
Triatt’s words made the audience fall silent.
Everyone’s eyes were looking at him in disbelief!
admit defeat?
Isn’t this situation Triatt having the upper hand?
Why is this suddenly giving up?
Because the blood bars of both sides can only be seen by both sides of the battle.
So Deng Ya and the audience around the ring.
I don’t know what the actual combat situation was like.
Just know that the original still has the advantage.
Triatt, who is holding Li Xian down.
Suddenly he stopped attacking.
And also shouted to admit defeat!
“Student Triatt, are you sure? 39
“It’s clear that you have the upper hand in this battle.”5
“Are you really going to admit defeat like this?”
To make sure that what I just heard was not wrong.
Deng Ya confirmed to Triat.
Triat looked at the doubts in Deng Ya’s eyes.
Then look at the unknown reasons on the faces of all the audience around the ring.
Helplessly shook his head.
Subsequently.
“Whoosh-”
Triatt teleported to Li Xian.
A knife slashed at Li Xian.
Then…
The moment when Triatt’s weapon attacked Li Xian.
Li Xian’s Thorns skill effect is activated.
Just let Triat roll his eyes.
Lying on the ground turned into a corpse!
ah this…
All the students around the arena were silent!
But after a moment of silence.
“Damn it! Dead? Triat, number 10 on the top 100 list, just died?
“No wonder he has to admit defeat. It turns out that his health is already low enough that he can’t even bear the effect of Master Li Xian’s counter-injury skill!”
“How strong is Mr. Li Xian’s HP and injury-free? With such a crazy output as a rank three class, he can’t kill him?”
“Everyone! This is history! Since the founding of Yaren University, the first student to be in the top 10 as a freshman!
“Asian University? No! It’s not just Asian University! No such situation has ever occurred in the top ten universities! 35
“I’m just a word! Shield hero, Lord Li Xian!”
“One rank strength kills a level 40 third rank professional! The strongest professional of the new generation, Mr. Li Xian deserves it!”
“Ooooooo! Win! Long live Mr. Li Xian! Long live Mr. Li Xian! Mr. Li Xian, you are the best!
With Triatt’s death.
Under the ring, there were bursts of cheers like mountains and seas!
And in the cheers of these students.
Mentor Deng Ya also made a statement:
“Cadet Triatt was killed!
“Cadet Li Xian successfully defeated Cadet Triatt.””
“I declare!”
“Li Xian replaces Triyatt!”
“Become the new 10th student in the Asian University Top 100 List!
Deng Ya’s announcement fell.
There was another cheer from around the ring!
all students.
All applauding Li Xian’s brilliant record!
But in their cheers.
Deng Ya fell in front of Li Xian again.
More excited than Li Xian to congratulate Li Xian:
“Li Xian! Congratulations on defeating Triyatt.””
“Become ever.”
“The first student to enter the top ten as a freshman! 39
“You have successfully made the history of Asian University.
Facing Deng Ya’s congratulations.
Li Xian smiled:
“Teacher Deng Ya, I think you can wait for your cheers.
“Wait until I challenge for the number one spot on the top 100 list.
“And after beating first place. 39
“It’s not too late to congratulate me!
wow——
What Li Xian said.
Once again ignited all the students around the ring!
“First!
‘First!””
“First!
Countless students crowded around the arena.
All began to cheer.
Extremely looking forward to it.
Li Xian’s challenge to the top 100!
And in the cheers of countless students around.
Deng Ya was also infected.
She nodded excitedly.
Then he waved his hand lightly.
A list of No. 1 to No. 9 on the Top 100 list.
All presented in front of Li Xian:
“Li Xian, decide what you want to challenge!
There is no doubt that.
Li Xian’s hand.
Point to the student who is number one on the leaderboard.
“I choose the first place in the top 100 list to challenge! 55
“I see!”
Among Li Xian’s choices.
Deng Ya nodded.
Tap the avatar of the student who is number one on the leaderboard.
and transmitted to it.
Information for someone who wants to challenge their ranking!
PS: The picture is under Triat’s weapon.
