Chapter 394: Chapter 394
So he let out a loud roar, disregarding Su Xi’s fierce assault, and directly charged towards Lin Rui with his long blade.
Merely a Tier Four hero, although powerful, still too immature!
He had already captured the Tier Five Gray Dwarf Hero Groller alive.
As long as he could kill the hero of the Golden Pansy Domain, there was still a chance to turn the tide of battle!
The brilliant Sword Qi locked onto Lin Rui, and at this moment, Lin Rui also felt the immense pressure of life and death that Audrey had faced earlier.
Richthofen’s Tier Seven speed was incredibly fast, even Su Xi and Death’s Wings couldn’t stop him at all.
But Su Xi wasn’t panicked at all; she held her long blade upside down, calmly watching Lin Rui where he stood.
This was indeed the true backbone of the territory’s combat strength! This young man’s resilience had even made Su Xi, a Super-Tier, once relent.
Sure enough, facing Richthofen’s frenzied Sword Qi, Lin Rui stood where he was, hands behind his back, without dodging at all.
Of course... he couldn’t dodge.
The frosty Sword Qi directly obliterated Lin Rui in place, his form disintegrating like sand in the wind.
And within a few hundred meters around, suddenly more than thirty figures of Lin Rui, standing with hands behind their back, appeared!
[Unique Skill · Instant Prison: Shadow Kill Array lv2: Instantly summon four mirror images from two directions to attack the target; during the duration of the spirit magic, the user can swap positions with any of the mirror images. Mirror images take an additional 250% damage, inherit 70% attack power, and last for 70 seconds. Costs 1150 Spiritual Energy, cooldown time 2 minutes.]
Lin Rui had used this skill many times, and finally recently upgraded it to LV2.
The unique skill certainly lives up to his name; at lv2, it can summon four mirror images, all inheriting 70% of the main body’s attack power.
Lin Rui couldn’t even imagine what effect upgrading to LV20 would have.
Perhaps it would be like Wutong Saint Spirit Level, appearing with thousands upon thousands of external bodies in an instant.
Even at the current lv2 stage, it’s already enough to shock Richthofen.
Nearly forty clones appeared simultaneously in all directions, scattered over several hundred meters, making it impossible for him to discern which were real.
More terrifying is, he felt each mirror image seemed several times stronger than when the Lord of the Golden Pansy Territory was standing there previously. It was as if, after consuming a large amount of spiritual energy, the Lord of the Golden Pansy Territory had stacked three or four traits on himself in an instant.
Is this intensity supposed to be what a Tier Four should have? Even a Divine Level is just at Tier Four.
"Since you want to die by my hand, I’ll fulfill your wish!" Lin Rui snapped his fingers casually.
The opponent actually exposed himself voluntarily!
Richthofen’s ecstatic expression hadn’t unfolded yet, and in the next moment, it stiffened on his face, with his whole body directly suffering heavy damage and spitting out a mouthful of blood heavily.
[Dark Words Spirit Thought lv1: Instant Spiritual Skill, using absolute spiritual strength to destroy the internal structure of a remote target. Causes (Wisdom Value + Soul Value) * n/30 points of spiritual energy damage. Cooldown time 25 seconds.]
Lin Rui consumed 1200 Spiritual Energy Value in one go, and this skill’s base damage was 11520 points.
Base damage! Which means without any modification or any enhancement from equipment or traits.
Not only does Lin Rui currently benefit from the five layers of [Destiny Card] enhancement, but he also used [Faith Intervention], burning 20 points of will, causing all damage to carry 20% true damage. Along with the 30% true damage from his Heroic Body.
Under ten layers of strikes, even if Richthofen is a Legendary-level Great Warrior, he can’t withstand it!
It’s completely his Legendary Trait repeatedly offsetting spiritual damage and continuously restoring his Life Value that he can continue standing here.
Richthofen shouted in anger: "Even the Son of the Divine, an existence at Demigod-level, can’t beat me at Tier Four! Why are you able to have such strong output?"
Because I’m handsome!
The Son of the Divine indeed can’t beat you, but what does my Divine partner have to do with it?
Isn’t it normal for the stepfather to beat up his son?
Lin Rui waved his hand, sword pointing at Richthofen, with a calm tone: "Let this contention stop here!"
In the next moment, a dense swarm of mirror images along with Su Xi and Death’s Wings simultaneously rushed towards Richthofen.
Watching the golden light fading away like a meteor in the distance, Lin Rui was moved, feeling a profound sense of the strength of Tier Seven once again.
Even with Lin Rui cooperating with Su Xi and Death’s Wings, there was no way to forcefully hold back Richthofen.
His temporary Sub-Invincible State after resurrection was truly unsolvable; no one could stop him when he was determined to leave.
Despite the efforts of the Golden Pansy Domain over such a long time, they still couldn’t kill this Tier Seven Legendary-level knight.
Su Xi sheathed her sword and stood beside Lin Rui, calmly saying: "His Soul Value won’t sustain many more deaths. Perhaps next time he’s killed, he’ll completely lose the chance to resurrect."
Lin Rui nodded, even hoping Richthofen could persist a few more times.
Because each time he’s killed, the rewards are real!
In terms of the system’s judgment, he’s indeed dead.
It’s just the Divine Spirit keeps reviving him again and again.
Killing him these few times, Su Xi has leveled up twice.
Lin Rui also managed to get a kill, leveling up 3 times!
Audrey came over and confidently said, "Lord, he certainly escaped to the Underground City. We must drag him out of the underground lair and not give him the chance to recover."
Lin Rui smiled and shook his head, "That won’t do; this is a fat sheep, more so a goose that lays Golden Cores. If we shear all the wool at once, that would be too wasteful." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel_fіre.net
Then Lin Rui took the treasure held by Death’s Wings in its mouth.
[Tiger Wing Rune · Rare Level Rune] *2
[The Commander must have a fierce tiger as a wing]
[Commander +1, Commander raising Command Value by 50%]
This was one of the items dropped from Richthofen’s several deaths, and even the most ordinary of those items.
However, it confirmed what Lin Rui had previously speculated: there are equipment and items that can enhance Physique to increase Life Value, Wisdom to increase Spiritual Energy Value, and surely there are items that can raise the Commander’s Control Value.
Today he finally encountered such a tool.
Yet, even though it’s very potent, Lin Rui did not use it immediately.
Rarely encountering two such runes, Lin Rui needed to strengthen himself to the utmost.
At least increase the Command Value by several times before embedding it into the equipment.
By then, the number of soldiers Lin Rui can command will increase significantly.
And just as Lin Rui put away these two runes, the system prompt sounded again.
[Ding, congratulations to the Explorer’s army for winning a small battle victory, all surviving units receive 30,000 universal experience, everyone levels up by 1. Explorer’s prestige +1000, Territory prestige +1000. Obtained Resource Pack (Large) *1]
[Ding, after a bitter and resolute battle, the Explorer’s marshaled army achieved an epic victory! The excellence of this battle will still be sung by minstrels and revered by people even a thousand years from now. Kill bonuses increased by 100%. Battle level epic victory special rewards: all units base attack power +10%, extra 5% overall attack power boost against human warbands, extra 5% overall defense boost]
[Ding, due to your brilliant and stunning performance, gaining deep admiration from all the people, loyalty +10 throughout the populace.]
And with the victory, the enemy army started fleeing across the hills and valleys, the Grand Commander’s flight from the unbeatable Templar Order, Richthofen’s retreat, nearly shattered all enemy soldiers’ faith entirely.
A great number of soldiers seemed like their world had collapsed, unable to accept their revered Grand Commander was defeated and even abandoned them to escape.
This caused the soldiers to become like walking corpses, without a shred of resistance left.
The explorers’ enthusiastic shouts spread across the battlefield, passionately following the retreating wave of soldiers, capturing one elite soldier after another turning to flee.
This massive battle victory was the perfect conclusion they had always hoped for. Every captured fleeing enemy soldier would smoothly enhance their territory’s military strength.
