What should a real battle and battlefield be like?
When Rorschach came to this mystical world where magic and technology coexisted, he was only able to come into contact with the concept of battle from games and movies.
In his past memories, the battlefield was a place that would make people excited and hot-blooded, especially those adventure games. Those epic battle scenes would always make people unknowingly immerse themselves in them.
Many things only seemed beautiful, but when you actually got close to the battlefield, you would discover that the epics were all lies. The battlefield was just a cruel hunting ground where you were either the hunter or the prey.
"It's just an even crueler struggle for survival."
But as he got used to the smoke of battle, he discovered that his past thoughts had been far too simple.
"For a ranger, the battlefield is just a hunting ground. They use tools and traps to weaken and test their opponents, find their weaknesses, and then deal the fatal blow. At first, I treated battle as a struggle for survival. It was just that Su Nanna was far too responsible as my ranger teacher, so I treated the ranger's fighting style as my everything."
For a powerful warrior monk like Grandmaster Rorschach, the battlefield was a training ground between life and death. Every breath and action was a choice between life and death. Every ambush and attack was a tempering of one's life.
As for the exciting melee combat, it was a battle of life and death. Perhaps a monk's enemy would only have one or two seconds to react, but a monk's incredibly calm heart and body that was as tough as a rock would give the monk several times, or even several dozen times, the monk's reaction time and sense of the body's movements.
Digging out the limits of one's life was the foundational reason why a warrior monk was so powerful. And the most direct reaction to this was the warrior monk's signature godly speed.
A high-level warrior monk would be able to counterattack seven or eight times in the time it would take for an ordinary opponent to attack once. A warrior monk would have already considered the time it would take for an opponent to prepare a combo attack several dozen times.
When a novice warrior fought against a warrior monk, they would only feel that their opponent was incredibly fast … and then they would be defeated without knowing why.
A warrior monk's signature technique was to block a sword with their bare hands, but the prerequisite was that they would be able to predict the sword's trajectory. The warrior monk's combat instincts for dodging magic and explosives were also based on the opposite of godly speed.
"Mold, construct, and reconstruct. Seventeen Arhats."
It was made of diamond and granite, and it looked like a human statue without any decorations. It weighed 300 kg to 500 kg. According to the master's request, other than the high density of steel on its fists and the "fist enchantment", it was not armed with any other weapons.
In front of Rorschach, the resummoned Book of Ten Thousand Spells was compiling countless spell models, and as the first Iron Warrior Monk was completed, it pulled with both hands and duplicated seventeen of them, forming the eighteen Arhats with the original prototype.
As for this simple battle doll, in terms of pure combat power, it probably couldn't even compare to the Vajra Heavy Armor (magic puppet form) that Roxia had prepared for the grandmasters. It could only be viewed as a mass-produced toy.
But in reality, these groups of magic puppets had already achieved the most dazzling results.
When the eighteen steel figures were completed, the master poured his spirit into them and directly jumped into the domain of the Evil God.
They danced amidst the Evil God's tentacles and rays, using the lowest consumption and the simplest evasive maneuvers to advance in the smallest gaps in their performance.
The battlefield wasn't a game. There was no such thing as "there's no such thing as an unkillable game" or "there's no such thing as an unkillable boss". Some of the humanoid figures displayed a series of inconceivable evasive maneuvers, but they were still forced into desperate straits. They were either turned into meat patties by the rotting flesh or directly blasted into pieces by the laser beams.
Some of the humanoid figures managed to successfully approach the golden eyeball. Then, with a light punch, they shattered the golden eyeball.
"Mold, configuration, 18 …"
Oftentimes, in the next moment, the warrior monk's human form would be directly smashed to pieces by the vengeful large-scale attacks.
And even if they were lucky enough to survive, if they stayed in the Evil God's domain for too long, their bodies would be seized, their minds corrupted, and they would become a part of the Evil God.
As for Rorschach, he would replenish the Marionettes that he had used up, and in order to prevent the Marionettes from being stolen and causing trouble for himself, he would simply detonate the Marionettes that had been fighting for some time.
"So, this is what a warrior monk is like …"
Rorschach's soul was connected to the Marionettes, so he also poured his mind power into his Marionettes. While admiring Karwenz's high APM and mind power, Rorschach also experienced more and more the wonders of the warrior monk's path.
The outsiders weren't wrong when they said that Karwenz's Marionettes would indeed be a growth bug. Not only would the Marionettes be able to improve themselves through true life-and-death battles, as a server, Rorschach discovered that he could learn a lot from Karwenz's Marionettes.
"I was wrong before."
Previously, when Rorschach had Karwenz's Marionettes custom-made for him, he had considered their destructive power and the size that would allow them to fight in melee. The result was that Karwenz's Marionettes had evolved into Super Marionettes. But actually, Karwenz's Marionettes had far less destructive power than Karwenz's 18 Marionettes.
"The most fatal wounds are so small that they're almost undetectable. Only newbies and rookies would brag about the damage they caused."
Rorschach had thought that he understood Karwenz's previous teachings, but now he discovered that he was only pretending to understand.
"Mold, construct, this time … 19."
This time, Karwenz created one more Marionette, but it wasn't Karwenz's mind power that descended upon it.
Rorschach carefully controlled this Marionette that was almost the same size as him as he approached the Evil God's battlefield … and was then smashed to pieces.
Perhaps there was no difference in the quality of the Marionettes, but a level 2 or 3 rookie monk wanting to approach Karwenz's battlefield, even if it was only one-eighteenth of Karwenz's battle, was still overestimating himself.
"Mold …"
But for Rorschach, this amount of energy consumption was nothing worth mentioning. The next human form was instantly completed.
* Smack! *
This time, the result was the same as before.
Again.
* Smack! *
This time, the Marionette lasted two more seconds and dodged two more attacks.
* Smack! *
Rorschach was rather excited, but the next Marionette failed to even dodge the first attack.
However, Karwenz didn't hesitate. The next Marionette lasted slightly longer.
10 meters in 2 seconds, 12 meters in 2 seconds, 2 meters in 1 second … Rorschach's Marionette was able to last longer and longer as it attacked.
The battlefield had become a training ground for life and death. Karwenz imitated Karwenz's techniques and constantly improved in the face of death.
Finally, when Rorschach's Marionette successfully destroyed the first Marionette's eyeball, even he couldn't help but be excited.
At this moment, Su Nanna, who was acting as his bodyguard behind him, had an expression of helplessness and annoyance.
"There's a level 3 or higher Marionette now. Is there a GM? Someone's cheating here! "
What made her even more annoyed was that the other descenders were also improving. Karwenz had just said that he estimated that they would all succeed in leveling up after this battle, but since she was the only one on the battlefield with her physical body, she would definitely miss out on the experience reward.
Suddenly, she saw Rorschach turn around with an excited look in his eyes.
