He was a complete lunatic …
That was Shiva's impression of Feng Bujue.
"I've miscalculated …" Shiva hid behind a cover and mumbled between breaths, "Who would have thought that the one who would decide the result of this Killing Game would not be Understanding Death or the Shadow King but this Feng Bujue who came out of nowhere …"
Being heavily injured by Feng Bujue earlier had completely disrupted Shiva's plan. Since he entered the scenario, he had used the Life Points Recovery Potion more than four times. Initially, he had planned to use the fourth potion after he killed Feng Bujue, but he did not plan to use it. But before the battle was over, he was forced to drink it.
The difference between the former and the latter could be said to be the difference of a thousand miles.
Using the same recovery potion multiple times within a certain period of time would greatly decrease the amount of recovery. This could be said to be one of the darker settings in the game. Even if the player was rich and bought a large inventory and a large number of potions, when it came to actual combat, they would only have the first few potions that would be of use.
Before the end of the battle, every additional bottle of blood he drank was equivalent to pushing his bottom line a little bit further.
And that was the thing that Shiva did not want to do.
Because from the moment Feng Bujue removed the bomb, Shiva's mentality had changed. He saw the hope of victory again, and his earlier passion slowly cooled down.
After thinking about it calmly, he understood that the reward of this scenario was not something that could be sought.
Shiva believed that with his ability, if he obtained a piece of perfect equipment, he would be able to climb to the top of the combat stat ranking.
At the current stage, perfect quality equipment in Thriller Paradise was extremely valuable. There were no more than five of them in the Auction House, and each of them was sold at a sky-high price. There were quite a few in the Thriller Box, but the players did not have enough purchasing power. Every day, there would be complaints on the gaming forum, saying that the Thriller Box had become a 'museum'. The players could not afford the best items, and the players were unwilling to buy the items that were not as good. This was because most of the players wanted to save up some Skill Points to buy a divine item or something.
Although Shiva was the player ranked second on the combat strength leaderboard, ignoring his level and talents, he only had a full set of Excellent Grade equipment, a bunch of skills, and enough supplies. The bonuses provided by the clothing were negligible.
As the leader of a gaming studio and a top player who had been in the pro scene for many years, he knew better than anyone what it meant to be first on the combat stat ranking.
Just like Shankly said, first place was first place, and second place was nothing.
Cruel truth …
Perhaps it was one-sided, but he agreed.
Phantom Dawn, with the suffix of Regulation, every moment he was at the top of the ranking, he was an invisible resource.
If the perfect equipment could help Shiva surpass the man, then the victory in this Killing Game would be far more meaningful than a scenario, a piece of equipment, or even a difference in ranking. Because of that, Shiva had tried to compromise with Feng Bujue earlier.
However, he did not expect that the other party would suddenly become unreasonable.
Shiva reevaluated Feng Bujue's behavior … and realized that he could no longer use logic to analyze the man.
The man was clever, but he was also ridiculous. He was sometimes extremely careful, but at other times, he was extremely rash. He would come up with a convincing and accurate analysis, but he would also say crazy things that were beyond the imagination of others.
This kind of opponent that could not be judged with logic made Shiva feel more troubled than he had ever felt before.
"Your Sorcery Weapon sure is convenient," Feng Bujue said as he leaped several meters to dodge the light beams from the stone plates.
This wave of attacks was a cover fire. When Shiva found cover, it slightly suppressed Feng Bujue's firepower.
"Your sleuthing mastery is not bad. Even without using your eyes, you can see the general situation around you." Feng Bujue said. "But after leaving your sight, the accuracy and accuracy of the stone plates have decreased." As he spoke, he pulled the string of a grenade and threw it at the place where the other party was hiding.
"Don't push your luck." Shiva did not need to look to know that something was coming at him. He took out a cold weapon from his inventory and swatted the grenade into the air like a baseball.
The explosion in the air was like a signal. Following the boom, Shiva leaped out from the other side of the cover and headed toward Feng Bujue at high speed.
However, as soon as he came out, he was met with layers upon layers of golden light flying towards him.
"Skill? No … Sorcery Weapon! " Shiva's battle instinct reacted instantly. "He won't be able to guess where I'll come from. At most, he'll be able to predict my movement. So … this Sorcery Weapon is meant to follow me." Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and the light card was inches away.
"Scatter!" Shiva roared and used his skill.
[Name: Spirit Breaker Strike]
Skill Card Attribute: Active, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: Deliver a shockwave imbued with spiritual energy (Cooldown of three minutes, requires wielder to wield a cold weapon.)
Consumption: 200 Stamina Points, 20 Sorcery Points
[Learning Requirement: Fighting E, Sorcery E]
Remark: The damage to physical targets (like machinery) is very weak, but the effect on targets imbued with spiritual energy or soul is obvious.
The choice of skill was perfect, and the weapon in Shiva's hand was perfect for this skill.
Name: Obsidian Hammer
Item Type: Weapon
[Quality: Excellent]
Offense Points: Medium
Element: None
Special Effect: Exorcism
Equip Requirement: Fighting D, Level 23 and above.
Remark: Obsidian is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. When you run into evil spirits, you can use brute force to destroy them.
Whenever he ran into a haunted scenario, Shiva's trick worked every time. With the exception of BOSSes and Elite-level monsters, anything that was related to "Spirits" would be instantly killed by this combination.
The Death Poker that Feng Bujue tossed out was a total of ten cards, the combination of 'airplane and cannon.' The consumption was high, so naturally, it was powerful. But this time, Shiva was trying to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, so he used his main skill. Comparing the two, Shiva's reaction was stronger.
Bang! A strange sound was heard as the light plate was smashed into colorful light fragments in midair. It then exploded and scattered like sparks.
Shiva successfully blocked the attack, and Feng Bujue was forced into a corner.
Even though Shiva was stopped by the Death Poker, as Feng Bujue returned to his sight, Shiva's Sorcery Weapon could aim accurately again. Therefore, the second Shiva shattered the cards, six beams of light shot at Feng Bujue from six different directions: front, back, left, right, front, and back.
The angle of this round of attacks was tricky, and they surrounded him. Brother Bujue had nowhere to run. If he did not die, he would be heavily injured. Chi!
Chi! Chi!
The beams of light cut through the air, leaving several holes in the cement of the rooftop and breaking two of the railings.
But Feng Bujue was fine …
He used an indescribable and unbelievable movement to dodge all the beams of light. At that moment, all the joints in his body seemed to be loose, but the movement of his limbs and torso was still fast and powerful.
If one had to describe it, imagine an extremely nimble marionette. With the pull of the strings, it could twist its joints and change its posture at high speed. But for a normal person to mimic this kind of movement, it was impossible.
"Nana!" If Shiva was a villain in a Japanese comic, he would have shouted this line with a face full of shock.
But he was not …
Even if he was surprised, he was not stunned. Shiva's attack had not ended. The beams of light from the stone plate were all on cooldown after a few rounds, but it had bought him a lot of space to maneuver.
At that moment, Shiva's Life Points were at ninety percent, and he had half of his Stamina Points left. He still had two fighting skills that he could use at any time, and he had successfully reached Feng Bujue.
On Feng Bujue's side … With the exhaustion from the Body Enhancement Spell, his Life Points had dropped below forty percent again, and his Stamina Points were only at 1882800. He had put away his guns, and he was holding Death Poker, which was not good for close-quarter combat.
"What's going on?" This sentence was actually coming from Feng Bujue himself. "I really dodged it …"
With a whoosh, the obsidian hammer came swinging at him.
Feng Bujue took a step to the side and leaned back like he was stretching. He easily dodged it. "This is crazy … Have I unlocked my conception and governor vessels?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking these questions?" As Shiva spoke, he used another skill. This time, he used his leg.
A blue shadow in the shape of a blade was kicked out by Shiva, and it flew toward Feng Bujue, who was one meter away from him.
"Is this the legendary 'Rankyaku'?" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself as he mimicked the classic bullet dodging action from the Matrix. He leaned back, bent his knees, and barely dodged the attack.
"Kid, are you pretending to be weak?" Shiva roared angrily. He had no idea where his anger came from. When he calmed down and thought about it, his anger was probably because he realized that his opponent's physical skill was stronger than his own.
"How am I supposed to answer that question?" Feng Bujue asked.
Brother Jue was also thinking about the answer. I thought it was a coincidence that I dodged the spinning kick, but now it looks like that is not the case. The beam of light, the hammer, and the kick … are they purely the effects of Body Enhancement Spell? Or has the opponent's movement slowed down? No … The difference between us is still there. Be it strength, speed, or motion vision, he is slightly stronger than me.
But …
For some reason, I seem to be able to do some extremely difficult actions that only exist in my imagination, and I can do them very accurately.
What kind of phenomenon is this? Have I gained some kind of game buff that is not shown in the status bar? Hmm … that does not look like it.
This kind of realm where one can do whatever they want … Could it be?
While he was thinking, Shiva put away the obsidian hammer, freed up his hands, and launched a series of high-intensity attacks.
Instantly, shadows of punches filled the sky, and the wind blew. Two shadows, one attacking and one defending, one advancing and one retreating, fought their way out of the rooftop of the building. They 'walked' vertically down the wall of the building and fought from the sky to the street.
The superheroes who had been left behind had already rushed over one after another (Jason Todd did not follow. He was not with the heroes of the Network, so he had quietly retreated). Seeing the scene in front of them, the friends of the Network were all stunned.
"Should we consider contacting the headquarters of the Justice League?" the squire gave a very pertinent suggestion.
Damian glanced at her, picked up the walkie-talkie, and replied woodenly, "I'll ask Saint …"
