Chapter 183 A Strong Attack

"Defense...that thing is about to attack!"

"Holy shield... defense!" Jingjing, who had been prepared for a long time, almost immediately squatted down in front of me and raised her holy shield to point in the direction of the big tree over there. After Jingjing was ready, I I quickly squatted behind her and hugged her from behind, blocking my dragon shield in front of her. In this way, with the protection of two top-level artifact-level shields, even a full-strength strike from the main god level should be easily blocked. But...the energy indicator of that thing...can it really stop it?

..

Although everyone was as unsure as I was, there was no point in hesitating at this time. Just as our preparations were being completed, the cross star on the top of the big tree suddenly flashed, and a beam of light appeared in front of us in the blink of an eye and hit the holy shield in front of it. Energy shield formed by skills.

There was only a loud bang, and a big crater was blown out of the land in front of us, but neither Jingjing nor I felt any vibration, which meant that the Holy Shield completely took over the attack.

"Huh?" I frowned in confusion, and then quickly asked Jingjing: "How do you feel over there?"

Jingjing also shook her head in confusion and said: "It has no power at all, at most it is equivalent to the powerful attack of an ordinary player."

The attack power of ordinary players is basically useless to people of my level. Even powerful attacks are completely inadequate. Perhaps only their full blow can pose some threat to me. However, this attack is only equivalent to a powerful blow from an ordinary player, and is not even close to the limit of an ordinary player. This feels a bit overwhelming. There was clearly such a strong energy-gathering reaction before, but this power... something didn't feel right. ..

Although the attack power is very low, this attack is not useless to us. At least we know two important pieces of information. The first is that we know that the attack method of this thing is a beam attack, and it seems that the beam has an explosive effect. The second is that we know that this thing fires a real beam attack rather than a simple energy flow attack.

In "Zero", there are many players, monsters and NPCs who can use glowing straight-line attacks. No matter what the names of these attacks are or how powerful they are, at least they all look the same, they all look like lasers. But in fact, these attack methods can be classified into two categories based on their characteristics. One of them is an energy beam attack, and the other is a real beam attack.

The category of energy beam attacks accounts for the vast majority of all attacks that look like lasers. It can be said that as long as they are attacks that look like lasers. Ninety-nine percent of them are energy beam attacks. Although this attack looks like a beam. But in fact, what is emitted is not light waves, and although the flight speed of these beams is very fast, it is far from the speed of light. Otherwise, how would those highly sensitive warriors jumping around on the battlefield avoid those beams? ? No matter how agile those people are, they can't dodge the laser, right? The flying speed of a laser is 300,000 kilometers per second. Even if the opponent fires from 300 kilometers away, the reaction time left for you is only one thousandth of a second. What can you do with so little time? Even our dragon clan cannot make the correct judgment and dodge in such a short period of time. Therefore, these energy beams appear to be fast. But in fact, it is not really the speed of light. The faster ones are only several times the speed of sound, and the slower ones are even only subsonic. Even the supersonic assault of flying birds is faster than them. Of course, even at subsonic speed, not everyone can dodge it. After all, the battle distance between players in the game usually does not exceed 500 meters. Such a distance, even at subsonic speed, is only more than one second. Not to mention that you need to see the beam first before you can start to judge its path and plan. To dodge, even if you are told when the opponent will attack and the route of attack, except for those with relatively developed motor nerves, more than 50% of people will still be unable to dodge.

In addition to the above energy beam attacks which account for the vast majority of the proportion. Those attacks in the game that look like laser beams. True beam type attacks do exist as well. The characteristic of this attack is that what is emitted is an energy beam, and its forward speed is 300,000 kilometers per second. Judging from the fact that the combat distance in the game generally does not exceed 500 meters, the dodge probability of this kind of attack is zero, and it is completely impossible to dodge.

Let’s not talk about whether the agility of highly sensitive players can support the body to move in such a short period of time, even if you are given a body that can do those movements and can react in a few hundred millionths of a second. Even with your motor nerves, you still can't dodge because the opponent's attack moves at the speed of light. That is, when you see the beam, you have actually been hit. After all, the light your eyes receive is also the opponent's attack. comes out, and the opponent's attack is at the same speed as the light, so when you see the light, it means you have been hit.

The attack power of the tree just now is indeed not very powerful, but this guy's attack method is exactly this kind of extremely rare beam attack. It is an attack that cannot be avoided at all and can only be resisted. After all, no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster. The speed of light!

"Hey, Ziri, how's the situation?" Seeing that we successfully blocked the attack, the peacock standing outside the attack range couldn't help shouting.

I heard the voice and was about to turn around to answer. The cross star on the top of the big tree over there suddenly shone again, followed by a loud bang. We clearly felt a slight vibration here, and the protective energy barrier on the holy shield had already There was no way to withstand the full force of this attack. Of course, even so, the defensive energy field of the Holy Shield was not penetrated, but only produced a slight vibration.

"How is the situation?" I asked Jingjing in front of me again. After all, she was in control of the Holy Shield and she knew the opponent's power best.

"The strength of the blow just now has increased compared to the last time. It is about twice as powerful as a full-strength blow of an ordinary player."

"It's gone up so much?"

"Yes."

When I heard this, I started to frown and think, and at the same time whispered: "Could it be that that thing is testing our defense?"

It turns out that although we knew that the tree had attack power, we didn't expect that thing to have intelligence at all. In our imagination, that thing should be just a mechanical defense and should not have any intelligence. However, in the current situation, although it cannot be said that the thing has human-like intelligence, at least it can be judged that this thing has reached the level of a beast. A first-level basic intelligence, at least it can analyze the enemy's strength and make tactical adjustments.

The time interval between the first and second attacks was about seven seconds, but after the second attack, the interval was less than three seconds. The cross star on the top of the tree on the opposite side suddenly flashed again, followed closely by me. I heard Jingjing snort quietly. At the same time, the Holy Shield of Light in front of him shook violently. There are even cracks in some places, and it is obvious that the energy barrier is in danger.

After this attack ended, Jingjing reported without me asking: "The power of the attack has increased again. This attack has reached the level of a first-line player's full blow, and may even be slightly exceeded!"

"Damn it, this thing Gu is really testing our defense!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the cross star over there flashed again, accompanied by Jingjing's scream. The holy shield in front of me shook violently. At the same time, a large number of dense cracks appeared on the holy shield formed by the light, and the cracks were still increasing rapidly. It only took a little more than a second to hear a crisp cracking sound. Immediately afterwards, the huge Holy Shield of Light completely shattered and disintegrated. Then the beam of light directly passed through the Holy Shield barrier and hit the body of the Holy Shield held in Jingjing's hand.

Usually when the Holy Shield is deployed, a Holy Shield of Light is spread out in front of it. Its body does not directly bear attacks, but the body of the Holy Shield actually has more than ten times the defensive capabilities of the Holy Shield of Light. Therefore, it seems that Although the Holy Shield of Light was completely defeated, the Holy Shield still withstood the attack. However, there is one difference between the Holy Shield of Light and the Holy Shield entity, that is, the Holy Shield of Light has an ability called space-time embedding, which means that it can embed itself on the space barrier. when it is under attack. The space bears all the forces such as vibration and impact force generated. Only the part that cannot be completely resisted will be transmitted to the Holy Shield and Jingjing behind. However, the Holy Shield does not have this ability. Therefore, although we resisted the attack this time, we were pushed back seven or eight meters by the beam.

"Damn it, will the attack of this thing rise soon?"

"I don't know, but the blow just now has reached the level of your powerful attack, Master."

I thought for a moment and said, "Let's go in and try it again to see if that thing can increase its attack power infinitely."

"Theoretically it's unlikely, but you have to try it to be sure."

Because we were pushed out by the attack beam just now, we have actually left the attack range now, so we have to go back. This time, unlike last time, the tree reacted very quickly. As soon as we entered the attack range, the thing started attacking immediately.

Jingjing and I, who had re-supported the Holy Shield skill, once again assumed the same defensive posture as last time. Thanks to the fact that the tree needs to gather energy before each attack. This process takes about a few tenths of a second, although due to the characteristics of light we did not We can't dodge, but this time is enough for us to make defensive moves.

The beam accurately hit the barrier in front of the holy shield again, but it was obvious that the tree had memory capabilities. Even if we left its attack range, it still remembered our defense power, so it directly used higher attack power this time. The Holy Shield of Light in front of the Holy Shield didn't last even tenths of a second before being completely defeated. The beam hit the Holy Shield in Jingjing's hand, and then the two of us were immediately thrown away by the attack force. .

Although the two of us were knocked away, there were a bunch of great masters standing behind us, so it was certainly impossible for us to fall to the ground. In fact, we were held up by a gentle force just after we were smashed away. When we were put on the ground, Hades immediately asked: "The attack power of the high-level gods just now was there. Are you two okay?"

I nodded and looked at Jingjing. Jingjing immediately replied: "It's nothing, but I feel that if that thing becomes more powerful, I won't be able to stop it!"

"How about I give it a try?" Hades suggested again.

I flatly refused his request. "You don't need to take risks here, it's better for me to go. It wasn't all my power just now." As I said that, I took out Eternity and raised it up to the sky and shouted: "God's Domain Fusion."

My demon pets appeared next to me instantly, and then their shadows quickly merged into my body. Finally, when the fusion was completed, not only the entire energy fluctuations in my body, but also the appearance of the armor changed.

Everyone present has seen my combined mode, and they know that in this mode I can challenge the main god in a duel without losing. With such strength, he is certainly qualified to test the power of that tree, even if other people at the scene have done nothing more than that.

After the integration was completed, I didn't go there immediately. Instead, I first fused Jingjing's holy shield with my eternity, but it didn't turn into a shield, but appeared in the form of a knife. Of course, what is always maintained now is not the ordinary knife shape, but the shape of the ship-cutting knife, only in a much smaller size.

The ship-cutting knife is a knife used to deal with battleships. In addition to its large size, this kind of knife also has a very thick back. The reason for this design is of course because the ship-cutting knife needs to resist the armor of the battleship, so it requires high strength, and the thick back of the knife means greater weight, which means greater inertia when wielded. This inertia allows the ship-cutting knife to have the same cutting ability as an axe. This is one of the reasons why the ship-cutting knife can break through the armor of battleships.

The current Eternal is using the shape of the ship-cutting knife used by the mobile angels of our guild. The blade is long and straight without any curvature, and there is a long sheath on the back of the blade. The cross-section of this sheath is "concave" shaped, and it is directly stuck on the back of the knife to increase the strength and weight of the blade. Of course, if you are dealing with highly mobile targets, this part can also be removed. If this sheath is removed, the shape of the ship-cutting sword is actually very similar to that of a sword without curvature. Of course, the proportion of the blade is still slightly larger, and the blade is wider and thicker, so it should be closer to the shape of the Tang sword.

The reason why I use a knife instead of a shield is because Eternity has the cutting law, so it can cut the opponent's beam attack. In this way, I don't have to withstand direct attacks, but only withstand the collateral damage. This is why I choose a knife over a shield. Of course, this was not enough. In order to increase defense, in addition to using Jingjing's skills and holy shield, I also materialized the shell of the tank outside my body. In the combined state, I can use the physical forms of all familiars as well as their equipment, skills, and everything else, and I don't need to keep their prototypes. I can embody them in my body shape.

Now that I'm wearing a jacket and the eternity in my hand, I should be able to resist it at least a few more times, right? After all, that thing has an energy limit, so I don't think it can increase its attack power infinitely. As long as I survive its strongest blow, I will know how powerful this thing is. (To be continued.)
