Chapter 67: The Assessment Begins, War God’s Projection!
[System Notification: The God-slaying Spear master recognition assessment has begun. The person who obtains the God-slaying Spear must undergo an assessment. Were the player to fail, the God-slaying Spear will escape!]
[System Notification: The assessment will be based on the player’s current stage! Please choose Yes to continue, or No to reject this assessment.]
Li Yi listened to the system notification and clicked on the Yes option without hesitation.
Although the God-slaying Spear was not able compatible with his class, the rewards from completing the Divine Revelation mission would still be able to be reaped even if there were restrictions.
As Li Yi chose Yes as the option, the system’s voice sounded again.
[System Notification: You have chosen Yes to continue the assessment. The God-slaying Spear master recognition test commences. 30 seconds till it commences!]
…
[System Notification: Countdown has ended. The test has begun!]
As the voice of the system mechanical fell, Li Yi felt his head spin and his entire body float. Fortunately, this feeling left as quickly as it came.
“Hmm…”
Li Yi rubbed his head in discomfort.
After feeling slightly better, he opened his eyes, but to his sight, all he saw was darkness.
However, the next second…
With a whoosh, a bright flame lit up the surroundings. Numerous torches were then lit up along the stone wall one by one.
Under the illumination of the flame, the stone wall reflected a jet-black light. It looked a little sinister.
“Is this another teleportation location?”
Li Yi frowned as he looked at his surroundings, and a headache started to form. He had used up all his mental energy when he was battling the Boss. In addition to the dizziness just now from the supposed assessment.
Li Yi could not help but feel a little overwhelmed.
[System Notification: The assessment has begun. Please defeat the projection of the War God.]
When the system’s voice ended, the clear sound of footsteps echoed.
Li Yi heard the movement and turned around to look in the direction of the footsteps.
A tall young man with an ordinary appearance walked over slowly with a spear in his right hand.
Li Yi looked at the young man with a slightly solemn expression and pulled out the magic weapon on his back.
He checked the attributes and reminded himself to be as careful as possible.
Although it was a projection, it was also a god’s projection.
[Boss: Level 18 War God’s Projection]
[Rarity: ???]
[HP: 100,000]
[Physical Attack: 2,760]
[Magic Attack: 1,000]
[Physical Defense: 2,300]
[Magic Defense: 2,600]
[Boss Skill: ???]
After looking at the War God’s Projection’s attributes, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
It was just as the system had said, the assessment would be based on the user’s current stage.
Although the War God’s attributes panel looked very high, it did not pose much of a threat to Li Yi. That was because his main source of damage came from his high HP.
The War God’s Projection stopped in his tracks and looked up and down at Li Yi who was not too far away. He did not bother with formalities and began his attack. He held the long spear in his hand and aimed it at Li Yi.
Li Yi’s expression froze slightly, and a fiery battle intent flashed in his eyes!
He wanted to test how much of a gap there was between him and the God of War’s projection.
The projection charged in front of Li Yi, and the long spear in his hand stabbed at an extremely tricky angle!
Li Yi flipped his wrist, and the golden black aura from Deaths Descent overflowed. He did not show any signs of weakness as he met the spear attack head-on!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out. The sword and spear collided and caused countless of sparks to fly.
Li Yi and the War God’s Projection did not retreat at all. Noth parties clashed head-on with each other’s weapons, as if they were competing in strength.
More than ten seconds later, the muscles on the War God’s Projection body bulged, and he suddenly exerted more force!
Li Yi felt the tremendous force that was channeled over from Deaths Descent. The weapon in his hand slightly tilted from the power, and Li Yi’s figure was forced to retreat a few meters.
“-2,331!”
“Tsk!”
Li Yi, who had stabilized his body, clicked his tongue. Looking at the War God’s Projection not too far away, he did not dare take advantage of the situation to pursue his opponent. He could not help but mutter to himself as he tried to recover.
“As expected of a God. He’s been so powerful ever since he was young. However…” Li Yi raised Deaths Descent in his hand as he spoke, “I myself have something up my sleeve.”
Li Yi’s footsteps suddenly stomped on the ground, and the black bricks under his feet cracked from the pressure. The gorgeous golden black aura from Deaths Descent instantly twined around and swung down toward the War God’s Projection.
“Critical Strike!”
The attack contained a strong killing intent as it rushed toward the War God’s Projection.
The War God’s Projection slightly turned his body, and the long spear in his hand made a blocking gesture as he pointed at the incoming attack!
“-28,981! Block!”
The golden black aura attack slashed at the tip of the spear, and the War God’s Projection was sent flying back by the terrifying power.
On the other hand, Li Yi did not further pursue his opponent. He only observed his opponent’s HP from afar.
When he saw the damage displayed on the War God’s Projection head and the amount of HP it had lost, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Yi had been scared by the God Corpse Eye Guardian’s Divine Wrath and was concerned if this War God’s Projection had some special skill that was hidden as well.
The war God’s Projection stabbed his spear into the ground. His footwork was messy as he leaped and somersaulted in mid-air before landing gracefully on the ground.
He looked at Li Yi, who was not far away, somewhat surprised. The projection did not expect that an attack could reduce his HP by so much.
Immediately after, his eyes were filled with recognition. As a War God, he yearned for battle the most.
The current Li Yi had fueled his desire to fight.
The War God’s Projection swung the spear in his hand backward and charged towards Li Yi. The War God’s Projection was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Li Yi. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the spear emitted a cold light as it pierced towards Li Yi’s face!
Li Yi’s eyes showed no fear as he raised the Thunder Square Shield in his left hand.
Dang!!
“-3,213! Block!”
The Thunder Square Shield had successfully blocked the attack of the War God. However, this was not a round-based game.
The attack of the War God’s Projection did not end here. The spear was like a dragon. It acted like a raging storm as it crazily tapped on the Thunderbolt Square Shield.
“-1,231! Block!”
“-3,313! Block!”
“-2,998! Block!”
“…”
Ching!
A crisp sound rang out as the shield value generated by the Thunder Square Shield shattered!
However, the God of War’s projection attack did not end. Instead, the attack became even fiercer.
“-3,333! Block!”
“-2,131! Block!”
“-4,231! Critical Hit!”
The God of War’s projection attack suppression was too strong. Li Yi was suppressed to the point that he could not use his skills.
However, Li Yi had been a Demigod Berserker in his previous life. Even though he was suppressed, he was still able to deal with it with ease.
“As expected of the projection of the God of War.”
Li Yi parried his opponent’s attack and sighed in his heart. Then, he stomped on the ground fiercely and the power in his left hand exuded greatness. The Thunder Square Shield used brute force to block the War God’s Projection’s long spear!
With a bang, the War God’s attack stopped. Li Yi seized this opportunity. Suddenly, golden black aura surrounded his body and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
“Raging Blood Roar!”
A ring of energy burst out from Li Yi’s body and hit the War God’s body fiercely.
“-33,244! Critical Hit!”
A string of numbers appeared above the War God’s head. The War God’s health bar had been dropped by more than half from the attack, but he did not immediately launch an attack.
He held his head and staggered.
Angry Blood Roar’s two-second stun effect had been successfully activated.
Li Yi took the opportunity to charge forward with Deaths Descent in his hand that emitted a terrifying black light. He aimed at the War God’s vital points and launched a combo of Critical Strike.
“-1,459! Weak Point Damage!”
“-2,996! Weak Point Damage!”
“-4,712! Critical Hit!”
After doing all this, Li Yi did not try to escape. At this moment, he was now out of mental and physical energy. He could not use his superb skills to connect to charge seamlessly at his opponent.
He chose to retreat and compose himself before he charged again.
[System Notification: The God of War’s Projection’s HP has dropped below 40%. The Boss will now use their skill, Divine Will. All attributes will be increased threefold!]
As the system’s emotionless voice rang out, Li Yi’s face turned gloomy.
