Chapter 953: The Unfettered Spear's Power
"When did he...?"
As Sellifer watched Valyr activate [Four Paths Azure Liberation] for the first time, the woman felt a hint of Divine-level power radiate from the latter all of a sudden, causing her to become vigilant out of nowhere.
Fortunately, that sensation did not last for too long, instead turning into a power that elevate Valyr's strength to an even higher level.
Catching her breath from the sudden feeling the young man gave her, Sellifer soon assessed the young man's strength once more, now getting the feeling that Valyr wielded a level of strength that would comfortably put him near the peak of what was possible for a mortal.
'I'm pretty sure Valyr didn't have a skill like this before,' thought the woman to herself, watching the young man proceed in his fight against the peak Rank 5 Void Rabbit. 'Did he hide such a skill like that from me?'
'No, he wouldn't have.' Sellifer soon shook her head at her thoughts, faintly smiling as she watched the young man disappear from the Void Rabbit's line of sight. 'If he did have something like that, he would've retrofitted it while he was still learning from me.'
'With how melds with his Prime Azure Energy so seamlessly and smoothly, there could only be one reason why he's gotten his hands on a skill like that,' inwardly muttered Sellifer to herself, letting out a sigh after that.
"And here I thought the Serpent Maiden had already gotten over it after I've stopped making improvements to my Azure Energy," said the woman soon after, only for her train of thought to stop in its tracks as she noticed the damage Valyr dealt to the Void Rabbit.
'-105,672'
Bang!
With that, it did not take long for the Void Rabbit to hit a nearby tree after being sent flying, causing a proud smile to appear on the young man's face.
On the other hand, Sellifer took in a deep breath to calm herself down, having been proven wrong by Valyr once again on how he fared against higher-level opponents.
At the same time, it made her think twice about her train of thought from before, wondering if it was a good thing to let the Serpent Maiden continue to act this way.
"Well, it's not all that bad," she concluded. "I've gained a lot from the Serpent Maiden as well anyway."
"I just need to warn him of what might befall him in the future."
"Especially if he plans to continue following what she tells him to do."
...
Bang!
Watching the Void Rabbit collide against a nearby tree, a proud smile appeared on Valyr's face as he was inwardly left at a loss for words at the amount of damage he dealt.
"Over 100,000 damage with just one skill?" murmured the young man to himself out of shock. "If I aimed for the rabbit's vitals, I would've removed half of its health in one go, then!"
Now getting an idea of why the skill was called a transcendental technique, the young man allowed a bit of his excitement to take control as he activated [Flash of the Azure Dragon]. Whoosh!
With his movement speed greatly boosted, it did not take long for the young man to arrive before the Void Rabbit, swiping up in the hopes of landing a free hit on it.
However, with it boasting higher vitality and agility than him, the rabbit was able to extricate itself from its current plight, expanding the distance between far enough to make Valyr's spear miss.
Then again, the same could not be said for Valyr's next attack, which struck the rabbit on the back of its neck.
'-75,456!!'
"Squeak!" With a large gash having formed around its nape, the Void Rabbit was now greatly incensed towards Valyr, wanting nothing more than to turn the young man before it into its next meal.
At the same time, Valyr's eyes widened once more at the damage he dealt, recalling the passive effect his attacks had while under [Four Paths Azure Liberation].
<Passive: Unfettered Spear - Transforms the user's normal attacks into attacks that deal damage equivalent to 300% of the user's Attack stat while in Liberation. Landing five hits on the same enemy allows the user to deal damage equivalent to 500% of their Attack stat.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
'-105,672'
'-30,690'
'-62,118!'
'-30,432'
"Squeaaaakkkk!!!"
With the rabbit letting out yet another pained cry, Valyr took a look at his opponent's current
condition, only to find out that it only had 10% of its HP left.
Reminding himself that anything could still happen before his opponent was dead, Valyr proceeded to land an attack once more, dodging the rage-filled swipe the rabbit attempted at
him.
Whoosh!
Ducking under its swipe, Valyr then activated [Blink of the Azure Dragon] one last time, only to appear to the side of its head not long after.
"I wonder... does the passive count the total number of normal attacks I've made?" Raising
his spear into the air, Valyr tightly gripped onto it as he noticed the rabbit looking in his
direction.
"Or do I have to do five normal attacks in a row for it to count?"
Then, without hesitation, he swung it down around the rabbit's nape once more, inflicting a
considerable amount of damage yet again.
Bang!
'-61,620!'
"Guess I found out my answer." Seeing the rabbit's health bar drop close to zero as it let out a
pained cry, Valyr let out a slight chuckle as he struck out with his spear once more.
But this time...
He aimed for its head.
"It's the latter."
"[Phoenix Piercing the skies]."
Bang! '-537,190!!!'
Ding!
