Chapter 328: Self-Breakthrough

Rhodes' timing difference was just right.

When he appeared next to Battle, it was when the other party's door was wide open and his hands were raised in the air. The scorching flames and whirlwind obscured Battle's sight and hearing, not to mention that Rod's dexterity was much higher than him, although in terms of average body level attributes, Rod was still a little inferior to Battle, but if you talked about the dexterity level alone, he was a few streets away from Battle.

At this moment, facing the swordsman who opened in the hollow, Rhodes unleashed his most powerful blow since the battle.

[Killing Storm, activated.] 】

[Detected that the attribute level has broken through the boundary, and the spatial displacement is activated, lasting for five seconds]

【Specify Coordinates】

One is divided into two, two into four, and four into eight.

For a moment, there were many figures in the flames, and the bright red sword light flickered and crossed, turning into straight red lines and weaving a shocking web, enveloping Battle in it. The scene in front of them made everyone scream, and the sharp and strange sword path and even the entangled and burning flames were split and scattered, roaring to encircle Battle. At this time, Battle finally calmed down, he gritted his teeth sharply, and then swung down the double blades hanging in the air.

"Earth, destroy my enemies!!"

The two giant swords broke through Rod's swordsmanship blockade without any sense of stagnation, hitting the ground heavily, and then around Battle itself, the sky-high sword qi broke through the ground, completely enveloping Battle in it, it was like a fountain that burst out and flowed towards the swords, and it was as domineering as a mountain rising from the ground.

"Bell!!"

The figure of Rhodes flickered suddenly. The absolute speed is still not equal to the absolute strength, the power of the earth under Battle's full force is not trivial, not to mention that he has already exploded 100% strength at this moment, as long as Battle still steps on the earth, then he can use this land to obtain a steady supply of force, which is naturally quite unfavorable for Rod.

It's terrifying.

The strength of the sword was incomparably harder. The violent vibration caused even Rhodes's mouth was a little numb, and the bright red blade also let out a piercing wail under the impact of this powerful force, and at the same time slanted to the side. IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE FACT THAT SCARLET WEEP WAS AT LEAST A SMALL ARTIFACT-LEVEL MAGIC SWORD BLADE, THIS BLOW ALONE WOULD BE ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY BREAK IT AND SAY GOODBYE TO THIS WORLD.

But the blow was perceived. Rhodes was not surprised.

It's good to come!

The thought flashed, just an instant, he suddenly let go of his right hand, and the bright red long sword that had lost its restraint and support roared into the air under the influence of the huge force, but at this moment Rod suddenly retreated, and then his hands stretched out to both sides, no one saw that at this moment, between Rode's left and right fingers, there was a pure white and pure black card.

[75% of the damage is forced, and the activation effect ———self-breakthrough]

Rod took a half-step forward.

The pitch-black and pure white swords each emit a very different brilliance. Crossed down, slicing into Battle's earth barrier.

The crowd didn't see what was happening at all.

In their eyes, they saw Battle slash hard at the ground under Rod's net-like sword light, and then the entire earth surged up like a vibrating, turning those bright red sword lights. Flames, whirlwinds, and everything engulfed in it. But after that, less than three seconds later, almost everyone felt as if the entire world realm had suddenly disappeared at this moment, and then they saw the earth barrier that had originally wrapped Battle burst open, and a black shadow flew out of it upside down and slammed into the wall next to the ring. The force of the impact was so great that even those sitting in the stands could feel the force like an earthquake, and even the walls reinforced with steel plates and huā rock could not stop the impact, and the black shadow tore a hole from it as it hit the wall, and he rushed forward like a roaring beast, shattering the entire platform, and even some spectators could not dodge, and fell heavily from the cracks.

…,

The disaster did not stop until the third floor of the high platform, and when everyone came forward to watch with trepidation, they were surprised to find that the one who had almost fallen into the high platform and was about to merge with this high platform was Battle. At this moment, he still held his sword in both hands and put on a cross-cross protective posture, and it was obvious that at the end of the day, Battle finally made a protective posture in time, but it was only that.

This......... How can it be?

Victor grew his mouth and stood up involuntarily, not only him, but even many viewers were like him, they grew their mouths, and looked at Rhodes, who was still standing in the ring at the moment, silent, in surprise, and didn't know what to say Okay, Ter is so powerful, he was actually killed by the other party so easily? What is the origin of this young man?

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, for most ordinary people, they can't see the doorways that the two sides showed in the battle, only that the game was very fierce, but it ended quickly. Looking at it this way, it must be that the strength of this young man is far superior to Battle, and only those who are really experienced veterans can see the subtlety in it, and like Anne, many of them know very well that the next is the fatal blow of both sides, and who can stand at the bottom depends on the present. But even then, they couldn't figure out what was going on after the worst of the day.

It's no wonder that even Rod himself didn't figure out what was going on at the moment.

He stood there in a daze, staring at Battle not far in front of him, almost embedded in the ruins of a high platform, and his heart was in chaos.

At the beginning, the situation was actually within Rod's expectations, he launched his full force, and the breakthrough limit of the killing storm actively triggered one of the suit attributes of the construction refining——— spatial displacement, and at this time, Bartel's counterattack interrupted Rod's attack, but even so, the BUFF effect of spatial displacement did not disappear, on the contrary, because Battle's full counterattack exceeded Rod's tolerance limit, his attack instead triggered the second set attribute of the construction refinement——— self-breakthrough.

The three suit attributes of the construction and refining are calculated and displayed according to the attribute bonuses of the equipment on the holder, and the spatial displacement comes from the trigger condition reached by adding the values of Rhode's own dexterity attribute plus the dexterity attribute carried by the equipment plus the dexterity attribute increased when the skill bursts. This is the number one attribute of all of Rod's equipment. Then self-breakthrough is naturally the superposition of the second attribute of all equipment——— that is, physique.

It's also helpless. Although Rhodes was clever enough to get a lot of equipment from those mercenary groups, don't expect NPCs to be the same as the player. Rhodes actually needs more equipment that adds critical hits, hits, and strength, after all, for players. Output is the best way to defeat your opponents. But for the aborigines, they value those things that can save their lives, although they don't have their own systems like Rhodes to be able to see the attributes of the equipment clearly, but what equipment will make people stronger, and wearing those equipment is less likely to die, this is their first choice.

Because of this, a large part of the equipment that Rhodes collected is like this——— either adding a little bit of non-flowing health recovery, or increasing physique and defense, as for the critical hit and hit equipment that Rhodes wants most with dexterity attributes. I couldn't find any of them.

Although Rod also slandered this group of aborigines in his heart that they were all MT and had no output, and they deserved to be wiped out in those ruins, which allowed players to find a bargain from their corpses, but the attributes of the construction and refining still had to be made up, and in the end, with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Rod still chose equipment with a physique. The reason is also very simple. Constructing a refinement requires its own attributes, and the final value of the superposition of equipment attributes to show the effect, so if you choose those attributes that are not very good, then the effect of the most unsatisfactory set will also be unsatisfactory. Although so far, because the bloodline has not been ascertained, Rhodes is mostly confused about his physical attributes. Although he is currently confused except for dexterity, at least Rhodes is sure that his physical attributes are definitely not low——— he has realized this since he was seriously injured and fell with the floating boat without dying. Because of this, Rhodes finally chose those equipment that adds physique, according to Rode's idea, if it can trigger a special effect that improves physique or self-recovery ability, then it is worth the trip.

…,

But what Rod didn't expect was that it was such a set effect that was triggered in the end.

[Self-Breakthrough: When the holder is hit by more than 50% of the damage that exceeds itself, the holder's physical attributes will be increased according to the upper limit of the damage level received to resist the damage for five seconds]

This skill seems very strange at first glance, but when Rod saw it, he was lucky. Because he clearly realized that from the perspective of this skill itself, it was not much lower than spatial displacement.

The effect of this set attribute is actually very simple to explain, assuming that Rod is a first-level player, but he suffered the skill damage of a ten-level monster, because the skill level of this world is linked to the level of the character, then when Rod suffers a ten-level damage, the self-breakthrough of this suit attribute will be triggered, and then his physical attribute will be forcibly raised to eleven levels higher than this level to resist damage.

Although this skill seems to be bland, and its function is ultimately used to resist damage, but Rod knows very well that this means that at the same time as the suit attribute is activated, all the attributes of his body, including dexterity, will, physique, etc., will be forcibly raised to the level of level eleven, although this can only last for five seconds, but within these five seconds, Rod's attribute is a real level eleven attribute, which will not change.

But at the moment, it is not a battle between level 1 and level 10 monsters, but a battle between two sword masters.

Although according to the convention, it is unlikely that there will be more than fifty percent damage in a single blow between two top sword masters, but this freak of Rhodes is an exception, he has the strength of top master swordsmanship, but he does not have the body that top master swordsmanship can withstand, and now his body is at most elite level. Even if there are one or two high attributes, on average, there is still no comparison with a real top sword master like Battle.

So Rod has been waiting, he preserves his strength. In order to wait for the other party's fatal blow, he knew very well that as long as Battle shot with all his strength, then his small body would be 100% unstoppable, and at that time, as long as one hit hit and let himself suffer more than 50% of the damage, then the suit attribute of [Self Breakthrough] would explode immediately.

And according to the description of the effect property itself. It will inevitably automatically increase Rod's physical stats to a level cap above enough to withstand the damage of the top master's swordsmanship.

That ceiling is legendary.

And in fact, at the same time as being hit by Battle, [Self Breakthrough] was triggered. Rhodes did feel himself shattering the invisible barrier and stepping into a realm that was almost unattainable for mortals, and he was confident enough to defeat Battle. And a landslide victory.

But what happened next was completely unexpected by Rode.

He originally thought that after improving his attributes to reach the legend, his own law attributes appeared, so it should also be a dexterous evolution, such as spatial transfer or spatial tearing, because before triggering [Self-Breakthrough], due to the superposition of [Spatial Displacement], the highest of Rod's physical attributes was dexterity, so think about it according to this idea. After breaking through the boundaries of legends, it is natural that the first law attribute that you appear should also be related to the attribute of dexterity.

But this is not the case at all.

When Rod's twin swords hit Battle's earth power, he suddenly realized that his attack had turned into nothingness——— not only him, but even Battle's vigorous earth power disappeared in an instant, as if the endless earth had completely ceased to exist at this moment. Even the entire world has disappeared. Rhodes only saw that a chaotic circle suddenly appeared where his two swords crossed, and then, the power of the earth suddenly disappeared, and then Battle was knocked out of the air.

…,

What exactly is this thing?

Rod was also confused at the moment, but no matter what. He also knew that this was absolutely impossible to be the manifestation of the legendary law of dexterity attributes, thinking of this, Rod instinctively wanted to flip through the battle records in his hand, and then he realized that this was not the game world, and he didn't have any combat skill record plug-ins in his head.

However, the system itself will not show the skill record in battle, otherwise Rhodes would not have been annoyed to death——— but now he feels that it would be better if he was annoyed to death.

The amount of force was so strange that while stimulating the amount of force, Rhodes only felt empty, as if he, his enemies, and everything in the world no longer existed, or that nothing existed. This strange feeling made him quite uncomfortable, and even rarely lost his mind in the battle, and it was at this time that the strange force exploded, knocking Battle out of the air.

But......... This attribute is really easy to use, that is...............

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but calm his mind, and reluctantly swallowed the blood that almost blurted out in his throat. Resisting damage doesn't mean defending against damage, and it's impossible to forcibly improve physical attributes without a price. Now Rhodes felt that he could barely raise his sword in both hands, and fortunately the starmark and the dire were not mortal, otherwise how could he stand now?

However, in the eyes of others, there is no change in Rod at this moment, at this time Rode's 10,000-year-old poker face benefits flashed, although he himself was confused and uncomfortable at the moment, but his face still instinctively remained cold and expressionless, which looked at others, as if this young man was just confidently waiting for the final result.

"Whoa."

And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of loosening of the earth and stones, and then many people saw that the tall figure that was about to be embedded in the stone wall suddenly stood up, and Battle held a long sword in both hands, supporting his body, but it seemed that he was also very injured at the moment, and he was a little shaky just standing there, but even so, this still made many people deeply surprised——— he was still alive.........

"Hey, boy, that's a good job."

Ignoring the surprised and inexplicable gazes of others, Battle cracked his mouth and smiled at Rod, and the fire in his eyes did not disappear.

"It's been a long time since I've played so well, and I'm very good! Yes, I will fight again when I have time in the future!! ”

With that, Battle drew his sword and put it behind him again, and then he walked out of the ruins of the high platform and waved his hand at his men.

"Alright, boys, the show is over, let's go back to drinking!"

"Is that really good? Mr. Battle? ”

But at this time, Rod couldn't help frowning and asked curiously.

"While I admit that keeping a promise is a virtue, I wonder why you would make such a bet? To tell you the truth, I'm also losing a lot now, and if you continue, maybe you can still eliminate our starlight, right? ”

"Ha, boy, just like Victor, he has a lot of ghost ideas."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Battellha smiled and stretched out a finger to point at Rod.

"Don't go around in circles here, if I hadn't made that bet, how could you really do your best to fight me? At that time, I don't know who will lose more. That's it for now, it's been a long time since I've met someone who can beat me up so badly, boy, I'm bullish. Now it's up to you to bury that old immortal bastard of Lawson under the arena to make fertilizer! ”

With that, Battle turned around without looking back, came to the side of his group of men, and waved his hand.

"Okay, bunnies, in order to celebrate a rare defeat, and at the same time to compensate for the regret that you didn't show up, I have a treat today, let you have a good drink! Ouch yo ........."

Saying this, Battle didn't seem to be able to hold on any longer, his body was crooked, and at this time, the masked woman who had been quietly following him quickly stepped forward to support the other party, she glanced at Rhodes, then nodded, and turned to leave.

Rhodes watched as the people of the Purple Lily Guild turned to leave, and only after their backs disappeared did he turn around and walk in front of his subordinates.

"Alright, that's it, call it a day."

Then he spoke. (To be continued.)
