Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Three brilliant golden traits presented themselves before Lin Rui, and he found it truly difficult to choose, as each was very suitable for his current situation.

First [Beyond Life and Death], for every 10% decrease in Life Value, Willpower increases by 10%, and attacks carry true damage plus divine damage equivalent to Will Attribute.

This is almost a weakened version of Commander Wutong’s [Innate Divinity] trait.

This powerful Empress, apart from Words and Laws Follow and twisting rules. One important manifestation is that all damage is true damage plus divine damage. Even if an opponent is clad in dozens of layers of heavy armor, reinforced with tens of thousands of shield points, they can’t withstand the terrifying power of true damage ignoring it all.

But after thinking for a moment, Lin Rui first excluded this one, because this trait fits well with his traits, but it doesn’t fit well with his skills!

His divine skill Waist Binding already forcibly deducts two points of Life Value. Adding 400 points of true damage plus 400 points of divine damage... Is this for saving someone or killing them?

Lin Rui still remembers that a Tier One level 1 Elite Knight’s Life Value is only over 500, and the Woodland Fairy’s Life Value is only 80 points.

If ten Ice Needles cause more than 8000 points of (true + divine) damage instantly, the outcome would be quite tragic. Low-Tier soldiers couldn’t withstand even one needle, and the remaining Ice Needles would be whipping a corpse.

Thus, Lin Rui could only choose between the second and third.

The third one, each time an opponent receives a recovery effect, they suffer true damage equal to 15% of all damage they suffered in battle.

This is a killer for tank warriors. Especially for the subordinates of the Plague God Nagash, each is bloated with rough skin and thick flesh, and can recover health.

Ordinary people would find encountering them very disgusting and troublesome, but with this, their recovery ability is almost nullified. Even dragging it out, the accumulated damage would, in the later stages, cause their Life Value to be emptied by true damage with one recovery.

This time, Lin Rui hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he chose the second one.

[Epic Trait: Faith Intervention: When the throat is dry, there is a courage to drink even the sea—this is faith; but when actually drinking, at most, one can only drink two cups—this is reality. But faith is the power of life, which can transform the insignificant into greatness, the mundane into the miraculous. By temporarily burning willpower, one can significantly adjust one’s own strength, and can also directly cause absolute true damage to the enemy. Each point of willpower adjusts one’s strength/true damage ratio by 1%.]

By burning his own willpower, adjusting his own strength.

This skill is very idealistic, even somewhat resembling My Power of Thought.

I think I will become stronger, so I really can become stronger.

My will burns, so I will become stronger too.

In extreme situations, if Lin Rui sacrifices 100 points of willpower, all his subsequent output, all damage will become true damage.

Of course, the cost is significant. Once willpower is sacrificed, it cannot quickly recover, not even in one or two days fully, but slowly over a cycle bit by bit.

Furthermore, with his current 140 points of willpower, if he burns 100 points, remaining with 40 points... that would be too risky.

With the horror of his current enemies, having only forty points of willpower, merely looking at the opponent might make him collapse.

And the reason Lin Rui paid such a price to choose this trait is because this trait truly, as it says, when the throat is dry, there would be a courage to drink even the sea!

At critical moments, this trait might indeed change fate against the heavens, almost to the point of twisting rules. Read full story at novèlfire.net

By then, facing any opponent, whether ghosts or gods, whether divine spirits or demons, or even mountains or lava, as long as Lin Rui snaps his fingers, a piercing and irresistible true damage will erupt within the opponent’s internal structure, with no possibility of defense.

Just thinking about it feels terrifying.

For example, the Legendary-level Dark Wings, even if it’s fully stacked with armor, and damage reduction is all piled up to 100% under Commander Wutong, swords and spirit magic can barely harm it.

But as long as Lin Rui wills it, he could wipe it out in a few skill shots.

Of course... with a significant reduction in willpower, Death’s Wings could also easily wipe out Lin Rui.

This dark creature is still in its Juvenile Dragon Stage, with less than a hundred thousand Life Value; as it grows to adulthood, Life Value will increase, and by then, with hundreds of thousands of Life Value, Lin Rui would have to put in a lot of effort to clear it.

But at least this [Faith Intervention] gives the possibility of an Epic-level being able to fight a Legendary-level.

After choosing the trait, Lin Rui enhanced his attributes a bit.

This time, there were 33 attribute points in total. Therefore, Lin Rui distributed the points very evenly.

As for Charm... this time Lin Rui didn’t add any points to Charm.

Because, as they say, women are the greatest source of confidence for men. Lin Rui just harvested a full sense of conquest and accomplishment from Audrey, and is very satisfied with his Charm, so he doesn’t need to add Charm to attract anything.

Recently, Lin Rui’s traits haven’t changed much, so he opened the attribute panel to look at his Tier Four attributes.
