Although the Mirage Beast could imitate all of a player's Skills, Shifeng had already gained a clear understanding of the Mirage Beast during their battle.
At the start of the battle, Shifeng had already used the Ice-Blue Devil Flame. However, it seemed that the Mirage Beast could not use it.
Meanwhile, the Ice-Blue Devil Flame was not a Skill that Shifeng had learned. Instead, it was an additional effect of the Ice-Blue Devil Flame. Hence, Shifeng was 100% sure that the Mirage Beast could not use the Additional Skills of players' equipment.
After the black fog from the Abyssal Blade entered Shifeng's body, a layer of faint, silver-gray Death Energy appeared on Shifeng's body. Immediately, Shifeng dashed towards the Mirage Beast, activating Nine Dragons Slash. Twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms appeared and attacked the Mirage Beast.
Seeing the twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms approaching, the Mirage Beast cleverly chose not to block them. Instead, it used Thunder Flame Explosion to bombard the Shifeng. As long as the Shifeng died, the Skill would automatically disappear.
However, Shifeng simply smiled calmly. He did not dodge the attack. Instead, he activated Defensive Blade and met the Mirage Beast's attack head-on.
Defensive Blade granted immunity to four melee attacks. Hence, Shi Feng did not need to use his sword to block the Mirage Beast's attacks. Instead, he allowed the Mirage Beast to attack him. Meanwhile, Shi Feng's two swords landed on the Mirage Beast.
Previously, to block the Flame Explosion, the Mirage Beast had already used Defensive Blade. Hence, it could only take Shifeng's attacks head-on.
Shifeng took advantage of this opportunity, slashing at the Mirage Beast's body seven times in a row. Every slash caused over -500 damage, while a critical hit dealt over -1,000 damage.
Meanwhile, each of the Abyssal Blade phantoms dealt over -200 damage.
Among the seven slashes, four were critical hits. In addition to the attacks from the twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms, the Mirage Beast dealt over -7,000 damage. It was an impressive amount.
However, the Mirage Beast, which had transformed into Shifeng, revealed a disdainful sneer at Shifeng.
It was as if the Mirage Beast was saying, "This is your limit."
To the Mirage Beast, who had over 200,000 HP, such a degree of damage was merely a superficial wound. It would be fine after spitting some saliva on it.
However, without a Lifesaving Skill, only death awaited Shi Feng.
"So much HP, huh?" Shifeng looked at the Phantom Beast's HP bar. He sighed slightly, but then he smiled and said, "But if you want to use this capital to crush me, you're still ten years too early."
In the next moment, Shifeng activated Purgatory's Power, increasing his Attack Speed by 100% and damage by 30% for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes
Seeing the Mirage Beast charging at them again, Shifeng pointed the Abyssal Blade at it.
Abyssal Bind.
Nine pitch-black, ice-cold chains appeared instantly. It immediately bound the Phantom Beast.
The Absolute Bind lasted for a full four seconds, but the Mirage Beast did not panic at all. It did not even try to resist. Instead, it revealed a mocking expression, as if saying, "Cut me down if you have the ability."
Previously, he had only lost around 7,000 HP in one second. Even if he had another four seconds, he would, at most, lose around 30,000 HP. That was not even a quarter of his total HP.
After using all of these skills, the Shifeng's explosive abilities would also be exhausted.
Without any life-saving skills. Without the restriction on Berserk Skills, the outcome was self-evident. Hence, the Mirage Beast was not worried at all.
From the very beginning, it was impossible for this human to defeat it.
However, the Mirage Beast quickly discovered that fantasies were always rich. However, reality was cruel.
Abyssal Bind indeed lasted for four seconds. However, the Phantom Beast's Defense decreased by 100%. This caused Shifeng's damage to increase by a large margin.
Just look at how Shifeng could deal over 700 damage with a casual swing of his sword. What was even more unbelievable was that Shi Feng had triggered the Abyssal Blade's curse, instantly reducing the Mirage Beast's Attributes by nearly 30%. The Phantom Beast's HP fell from 200,000 to 140,000.
Under the Storm of Swords, the Mirage Beast's HP rapidly decreased. Shifeng absorbed strands of death aura. One could say that Nine Dragons Slash was a perfect match for Black Emperor. After activating Nine Dragons Slash, Shifeng would no longer lack death aura.
Before the four seconds had even passed, the Mirage Beast's HP had already fallen below 70%.
Just as the Abyssal Bind was about to end, the Mirage Beast would regain its freedom. It would be able to thoroughly abuse Shifeng.
However, Shifeng suddenly changed his sword technique. Leaping into the air, he used 10 of the 30 stacks of death aura he had accumulated on Thunder Flame Explosion. The Level 7 Thunder Flame Explosion had a Cooldown of 30 seconds, and each stack of death aura could reduce the Cooldown by 3 seconds. After consuming 10 stacks of death aura, Thunder Flame Explosion could be used again.
However, this was not the end. Shifeng added another 20 stacks of death aura to himself, instantly increasing all of his Attributes by 40%. His Attack Speed and Movement Speed also increased by 20% for 10 seconds.
After the upgrade, Shifeng used Thunder Flame Explosion, blasting the Mirage Beast's head. Sparks flew, and a damage of over -3,000 appeared above the Mirage Beast. Moreover, the Mirage Beast was Fainted for over 3 seconds.
Shifeng was very clear about his own situation. Currently, his level was low, and the number of skills he had learned was relatively small. He only had explosive power, but he did not have the ability to sustain it. After using his Skill, if the enemy didn't die, then he would either die or escape. Meanwhile, powerful experts could endlessly control a monster to death, unless the monster was immune to control skills. However, it was obvious that the monsters in this trial were not immune to control skills. They only had resistance, which would weaken the effects of control skills. Otherwise, it would be impossible to clear this trial.
Currently, Shifeng had gaps in the skills he learned. However, Black Emperor Profound could solve this problem, allowing his skills to form a cycle. Otherwise, Shifeng would not have dared to challenge the seventh trial. The only unfortunate thing was that Black Emperor Profound could only be used on skills that players had already learned. Skills on items and equipment were not useful.
However, if that were the case, then it would be too heaven-defying …
During the three-second Fainted duration, not only did Shifeng deal a lot of damage, but due to Nine Dragons Slash, Shifeng had also easily accumulated nearly 20 stacks of death aura.
Once again, Shi Feng used 10 stacks of death aura to bombard the Mirage Beast with Thunder Flame Explosion.
However, this time, the Fainted effect only lasted for less than three seconds.
However, Shifeng did not mind this at all. At this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure as he brandished his two swords. He felt that this was the combat style that a Swordsman should possess. It was also what he pursued.
Too much strength was easy to break. Linking and coordinating skills should be as continuous as flowing water. That was the way of the king.
Just like that, Shifeng continuously bombarded the Mirage Beast with Thunder Flame Explosions. Although the Fainted effect decreased with each attack, in the end, only one second remained.
However, despite having 140,000 HP, Shifeng still managed to stun the Mirage Beast to death.
The Mirage Beast cried itself to death.
The various big shots inside the Eternal Throne could not help but be stunned when they saw this result. They never thought that Shifeng had hidden his strength so deeply.
System: Mirage Beast defeated. Seventh trial completed. Rewarding 15,000,000 EXP, 30 Free Mastery Points, and 10 Gold Coins. Proficiency of all Skills increased by 800 points.
System: Seventh trial cleared. Do you wish to proceed to the next trial?
With 15,000,000 EXP, Shifeng instantly leveled up twice. In the entire White River City, only Hei Zi had reached Level 1. Meanwhile, Hei Zi had spent several days leveling up from Level 21 to Level 20. On the other hand, Shifeng had only used a few dozen seconds to do so …
Shifeng looked at the system notification window. He was still slightly anticipating the eighth trial. However, in the end, he shook his head and said, "I should quit while I'm ahead. I've already earned an Epic item. If I continue, I'll no longer be an expert, but a gambler."
After all, the Twelve Trials were the War God's Temple's most difficult trial. The further one progressed, the more difficult it would become. According to Shifeng's guess, the monsters in the eighth trial would most likely not be Special Elites but Chieftains.
A Chieftain was much stronger than a Special Elite. Aside from the fact that a Chieftain possessed a higher HP, just the Chieftain's resistance to Control Skills alone was far superior to that of a Special Elite. Not to mention, a Chieftain possessed a team-wipe Skill. If players were not careful, they could lose their lives.
Against a Chieftain that Shifeng had no understanding of, the possibility of him killing it was close to zero.
Calmly analyzing the situation was a prerequisite for becoming an expert in God's Domain.
Naturally, a first-rate expert like Xiang Shifeng decisively gave up on the trial.
Following which, Shifeng selected "No" on the system notification window. He was immediately teleported out of the Twelve Trials. (To be continued …)
