Chapter 137: Countdown (13), WTF
It had been 25 minutes since Aleron began clearing waves.
During his journey in this wave clearing, he gradually evolved his combat style.
At the moment, he sat on a throne, which was actually a support-type skill called Arcana Throne.
[Arcana Throne]
-Type: Support
-Rank: SSS
-Effect:
-> Elemental Symphony: Creates reserves of elemental energies by infusing Mana/Magilore to experiment with synergies of elements.
--> Elemental Sigils: Creates elemental sigils of the desired elemental synergies, that can enchant a skill.
He got the idea of creating this skill from the Legecy skills he got from Sun-Moon Revolutionary Art.
Basically, after he designed a skill, he could enchant it with an Elemental Sigil that could bring out a combo of elements for more powerful output!
He had a limit on his skill creation due to Magic Board's size, so this Enchantment support made his skill even stronger!
The experiments were like 70% water energy + 30% flame energy would result in ultra mist that could invade through armors of monsters and deal damage from inside if he slapped this Mist Sigil on a suitable skill he designed against tough-armored monsters! For insane, he created a poisonous mist by combining a poison-type cloud skill with Mist Sigil, resulting in killing tough-armored monsters!
70% of fire energy + 30% of water energy could result in bubbling hot steam holding a high amount of condensable energy to fuel an attack. A steam-powered magma blast produced an ultra-high temperature semi-liquid that turned monsters into ashes in a jiffy!
He had been using plasma for a while, by combining Fire energy with lightning energy, and its sigil could produce the highest amount of short-burst offense phenomenon. Slapping it on any short-burst offensive-style skill like he did initially with Plasma Pierce could result in instant destruction in a small area, best when targetting weakness or dealing fatalities.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
Aleron was exploring all things magic has to offer by sitting on that Arcana Throne, his eyes constantly flashing as he killed cleared monster waves one by one.
And now, after 25 minutes of continuously creating skills and destroying monster waves, he faced his toughest wave and also the ticket to achieve 1 billion combat power.
[Wave 499]
After he cleared this wave, he would have 999 million combat power registered, and then 1 billion after clearing wave 500.
The last ten waves were anything but normal. The monsters didn't die in one hit of his attack as all of them were in Ascension-rank and each wave produced 5 to 10 monsters.
Their defenses were tough, and Aleron had to utilize his Arcana Throne, creating skills to reduce their defenses, dodge or defend their attacks because he couldn't afford to take multiple hits, and finally kill them after 2 or 3 skills.
The monsters at this level were so fast, that they could actually react to point-blank skill projectiles he teleported near them. As such, it was a heating combat every wave.
The Wave 499's monster manifested, all in early-stage Ascension rank with one Concept power, powerful bloodlines, one elemental arcane syllabus, and two or more non-elemental arcane syllabus at level 10, and Magilore at their disposal!
Since all 10 monsters were different and had different sets of powers, it made the challenge all more difficult.
Plasma Void.
Shredding Sword Flamestorm.
Tempest Shatter Punch.
Gravity Split Wave.
And more and more makeshift skills.
After these first sets of skills exposed all monsters' weaknesses and reduced their defenses,
his second set of skills obliterated them.
His second set of skills was simple. It was a pure offensive skill set aimed right at where his first skills struck and exposed them.
All ten skills had the fastest execution and aimed at the perfect destruction of their core.
*BOOM!*
Ten explosions rang, all ten dead.
[Wave cleared]
The time it took him to clear this wave was 10 seconds, but six seconds were spent designing
those two skill sets.
[Wave 500] Aleron's eyes were singularly focused, fiery, and raring as he waited for the last wave.
'Hurry.'
...
After ten seconds, a huge announcement rang in the Radrata cosmos.
That's right. It rang in all 1000 hubs of this cosmos.
[Congratulations to Combat Lord Ruinex from Zion's Shade Hub. He has ascended to the
Warlord Hub, becoming the 156th Warlord of this season!]
But the next announcement that rang made everyone's jaw drop to the ground, from kids to
elders, from Adept-rank to Ascension-rank at the top, all of whom were aware of this unknown Combat Lord rising in all hubs.
[Additionally, he has broken the record of average wave clearing time, shattering the previous average time of 31.34 seconds and achieving 3.39 seconds per wave.]
After hearing this, everyone entered a strange synchronization state and uttered.
"What The Fuck!"
