The two, who had reached the peak of perfection, started a shocking battle.
The battle started, and the murderous intent boiled.
Spirit energy burned, and the sun lost its color.
But …
The Heavenly Hourglass split into eight, and they hung in the air.
The Death Poker gathered but did not release it. It condensed at the tip of his finger.
Shiva did not move, but he already had the momentum of a mountain.
Without realizing it, he tapped lightly on the ground, and lightning appeared.
In that moment, their gazes met, and their figures crossed each other!
Attacks and defenses that were like a storm were launched at a speed that the naked eye could not follow.
In just one breath, more than ten rays of light shot out. They were the eight stone plates of the Heavenly Hourglass. They fired more than ten rays of light at Feng Bujue from eight different angles.
Brother Jue, on the other hand, relied on Spirit Transformation to evade all the light beams. He used the light card that he carried between his fingers to launch a high-speed close-range combo at Shiva.
Feng Bujue's hands that held the cards danced in the air, and he executed exquisite slashes. The attacks looked chaotic, but there was order and sharpness in the chaos.
— — — Name: Card Assassination
Skill Card Attribute: Passive Skill, Permanent
[Skill Type: Fighting]
Effect: When using card-type weapons to engage in close-range combat, speed, strength, and accuracy increase by 300 percent.
[Prerequisite: Fighting S]
Remark: A unique skill that the former Carnefell member, Oswald, specializes in. After reaching a certain level, he can use normal cards to cut through human bodies and end the opponent's life with a series of attacks that are intertwined with beauty and blood. — — —
This Level S fighting skill was not something that Feng Bujue had found in any scenario, and it was not something that he had purchased from the Thriller Box. It was something that he had 'learned' when his fighting mastery reached Level S.
Even though he had learned this skill for some time already, in most of the previous scenarios, Brother Jue did not equip Card Assassination. After all, there were only twelve slots in the skill bar. In a team scenario, he preferred to equip skills that were more 'strategic'.
However … the battle before them was an exception.
This was a hand-to-hand combat. There were no tricks or third party factors, so Brother Jue didn't need to bring any skills that weren't related to fighting. What he brought were: [Card Assassination] [Body Enhancement Technique – Modified] [Demon King's Inferno Inferno Scorch] [Geppo] [Rankyaku] [Sandstorm Rotation] [Energy Cannon] [Wild Ball Fist LV10] [Devilish Child's Lower Whip Kick] [Telepathic Finger] [Southern Dipper Flying Dragon Fist] [Summon – Ma Sun].
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary players, this was already an extremely luxurious combination of skills.
However, as the top player in Brahman, how could Shiva be inferior to Brother Jue, who was a casual player?
Let's look at Shiva's skills:
[Invulnerable Spear] (Active. Under the premise of not losing speed, gain extremely high physical defense for 10 seconds).
[One Slap Two Scatter Palm] (Active. Powerful palm strike).
[Root Attribute] (Active. Can only be activated when both Stamina and Sorcery are above 50%. After activation, both Stamina and Sorcery will drop to 20%, and all Life Points will be recovered).
[Fang God's Force] (Active. Uses strength from the fingertip to strike the target's nerves through the muscle. After accurate hit, the target will enter a state of numbness for a few minutes).
[Weightless Touch] (Previously explained, see the skill database).
[Spirit Breaking Strike] (Same as above).
[Light Smoke Passing] (Active. Acceleration skill, short distance movement).
[Tianba Sky Splitting Blast] (Active. Rushes at the enemy and sends the target flying. During the charge, the objects in the middle will be knocked to the sides).
[Ash Protection] (Passive. After using fire element skills or weapons to deal damage, gain a layer of armor equal to 5% of the user's maximum Life Points. Can be stacked up to 5 layers. Cooldown of 15 seconds each activation).
[Tyrant's Rage] (Active. Can only be activated when using a long weapon. Attacks all the targets around you once, and the damage dealt will be converted into the user's Life Points.
[Moon Picking Flame] (Active. Fire element, Spiraling Dragon. Powerful. Good at defense. Slow down.
[Flying Flame Fist] (Active. Small power, fast long-distance flying tool. Both this skill and Moon-Picking Flame could trigger the special effect of Ash Armor.
Those were the skills that Shiva currently had.
Even ignoring his ridiculously powerful Sorcery Weapon that came with eight special effects, just from these twelve skills, one could see how powerful Shiva was.
This set of skills could be used to attack, ambush, counterattack, crowd control, recovery, and exhaustion. No matter the situation, no matter what kind of enemy he faced … he would not be forced into a passive state. He had both offense and defense, and he knew when to advance and retreat.
And all this information … Feng Bujue knew about it. In fact, even if Brother Jue did not use the 'data view' to observe Shiva, he could have used other channels to investigate Shiva's equipment and skills.
This was because Shiva was a superstar player, and he was one of those super stars. With the amount of attention he had received, his in-game character's data could not be hidden. All the players who had fought against him or entered the scenario with him, be it people from other studios or normal casual players, could have leaked information related to Shiva. Furthermore, there was the existence of the video of the competition.
Of course, it could not be said that … due to the disparity in information, the competition was not fair.
First, Shiva understood this situation. This was a disadvantage that all superstar players would face, and it was something that he was used to. Second, observing things through the 'data view' was one of Feng Bujue's powers. No matter who his opponent was, he would be able to see through their data.
So, let's stop talking about the basic skills of the two and return to the fight …
Tsk … I was too careless … Two seconds after Brother Jue made his move, Shiva's expression shifted, and he cursed himself internally.
At the same time, he silently activated the 'moon' effect of the Heavenly Hourglass, Crescent Edge, and retreated quickly under the cover of the skill.
The effect of this effect was: Cover yourself with a layer of crescent light, and you will be immune to all physical and energy attacks for ten seconds. Attacks with 'extreme' power will be able to pass through the crescent light, but they will only deal fifty percent damage. After using it, the Moon Stone Plate will shatter, and it will only recover after returning to the log-in lobby.
Obviously, Shiva did not plan to use this skill at the beginning of the battle. It was not that he did not have other skills to deal with the situation before him. But … he really did not expect Brother Jue to be able to reach such a level of physical skill without using Body Enhancement Spell. Shiva had seen and studied Brother Jue's match during Level 1, so he was familiar with some of his skills.
To put it bluntly … Shiva had underestimated his enemy, and the price for that was … he did not have the time to use other methods to deal with the combo before him, so he could only use Crescent Edge.
"Ha … You're going to use up a stone plate just like that?" Feng Bujue saw this and laughed. "I haven't even done anything yet …" Brother Jue naturally would not give up this chance to pressure his opponent mentally. "If you come to fight me with the mindset that 'other than Phantom Dawn, no one is stronger than me, Shiva', then it's pointless …" He grinned wickedly. "If you want to fight me … you'd better put yourself in the position of a challenger and give it your all … to prevent both your mind and body from being destroyed."
"Humph …" Shiva heard that, and his expression turned serious. "Thank you for the reminder."
He was not angry at all. If anything, he was happy that his opponent would say something like that to him. After all, he was an expert, and an expert would find the reason for their failure. They would accept criticism and opinions. As long as the criticism was reasonable, it would not matter even if the criticism was harsh.
"Ha ha …" Shiva's reaction satisfied Brother Jue. The latter laughed coldly and said, "Very good … Then this time, I'll show you what it's like when I've only used a little bit of my strength."
Before he finished, he moved again.
For this second round of attack, Feng Bujue had used the Instant Strike from Body Enhancement Spell — Modified.
Flash! The card glowed brightly, and the aura swirled around it.
