93: Chapter 93 The Sky Ranger
After all, the core of the Moon Shadow Archer is 'Moonlight'; perhaps it can be compatible with different power attributes?
"It's worth a try!" He immediately turned to Lin Yin, who had been standing quietly by his side, her gaze never leaving him, as if she were silently sharing in his joy and contemplation.
"Lin Yin, work hard for a bit more. From the Moon Shadow Archers under your command, select a hundred sisters with the highest current levels to come here. We... will try another new possibility."
Hearing this, a slight flicker of surprise passed through Lin Yin's clear eyes.
She looked at Lin Tian, then at those powerful Pale Moon Hunters who had just completed their Fusion, seemingly understanding Lin Tian's plan.
Without asking further, she simply gave a light nod: "Yes, Brother Tian."
Turning around, her figure silently glided out of the martial arts field like ripples under the moonlight. A moment later, she returned with another hundred-person phalanx of Moon Shadow Archers.
These female Archers were equally elite. Seeing their sisters, whom they had fought alongside just today, transformed so drastically, their eyes held a mix of anticipation and nervousness toward the unknown.
Lin Tian walked to the front of the queue, his gaze sweeping over them. Finally, he randomly pointed to a female Archer with a calm temperament and exceptionally bright eyes: "You, step forward."
The female Archer stepped forward as ordered and knelt on one knee.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and retrieved a space crystal from his storage space. This crystal was entirely a deep silver light, as if it could suck in one's gaze.
"This object contains the power of space. The Fusion process may be different from before. Relax your mind and feel it carefully," Lin Tian instructed in a deep voice, then communicated with his talent once more.
This time, when the talent's power cautiously touched the interior of the space crystal, he felt a completely different "sensation." It was no longer the sharpness of the gold element, nor the vibrant vitality of the wood element, but a misty, shifting, elusive, yet void power containing the possibilities of tearing and connecting.
Holding his breath and focusing, he guided the pure spatial origin with even finer control than before to fuse with that female Archer.
The moment the spatial power touched her—
Buzz...
A low, strange resonance sounded, as if coming from the distant void.
With the female Archer as the center, the surrounding scenery eerily distorted and folded for a split second!
The firelight, figures, and ground all looked like reflections in swaying water, showing brief distortions and double images.
Visible waves of spatial fluctuations, like ripples in water, spread outward with her as the center. The air made faint "creaking" sounds, like glass about to shatter.
Accompanied by this heart-palpitating spatial shaking, the entire Fusion process appeared exceptionally divine and unpredictable.
Below the stage, Lin Feng subconsciously tightened his grip on his spear, his brow furrowing slightly. Red Sun Power circulated faintly, as he seemed instinctively wary of such unstable spatial changes.
Lin Yin took a step forward instantly, almost standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lin Tian. Her moonlight longbow was already half-raised, and her clear eyes sharply watched the center of the constantly fluctuating space and the flickering figure of the female Archer within. Her body was slightly tensed, ready to respond to any accident at any time.
She wasn't worried about the space crystal itself, but this never-before-seen Fusion phenomenon made her full of concern for her subordinate at the center and for Lin Tian, who was close at hand.
After about ten breaths, that unsettling spatial fluctuation finally gradually calmed and withdrew.
The phenomenon dissipated, and a brand-new figure appeared.
It was still the same female Archer, but her image had undergone a world-shaking change.
The original vine armor and wood-fiber light armor on her body, under the saturation and reshaping of spatial power, had taken on a material with a strange semi-transparency, like the texture of the purest crystal. It was so thin it seemed non-existent, yet it faintly flowed with a resilient luster.
On the surface of the armor, geometric light patterns emerged—constantly shifting and flashing with silver-blue light, resembling broken mirror reflections or deep starry sky maps. They were profound and mysterious.
What drew attention was the position of her heart.
The original "bud-shaped" heart-protecting mirror there had changed. In its center was embedded a slowly rotating silver space crystal that seemed to contain a miniature starry sky within.
The crystal blended perfectly with her own moonlight energy, forming a stable, miniature spatial energy node around it, like a miniature void spring that independently supplied her with energy, slowly breathing energy in and out.
The longbow she held had also completely changed. The bow body had become more slender with smooth, elegant lines, appearing entirely in a deep silver-white. Most miraculous of all, the bowstring had disappeared!
In its place was an invisible "string" composed of condensed, stable spatial energy that slightly distorted the light! This "string" was not a physical entity, yet it emitted heart-palpitating fluctuations, as if connected to an unknown void.
Lin Tian immediately clicked on her unit panel, his heart rate involuntarily quickening.
[Fusion Successful! Moon Shadow Archer → Void Hunting Ranger]
[Unit Quality: Superior High-grade → Epic Mid-grade]
[Growth Potential: Platinum 6-Star]
[Current Level: Silver 1-Star (Synchronized Increase)]
[Skill Changes]:
Eagle Eye → Dimensional Insight: Retains and significantly strengthens ultra-long-range vision and motion capture capabilities. New Effect: Vision can penetrate a certain thickness of conventional physical obstructions (such as stone walls, earthworks, smoke, dense vegetation) and to some extent see through low-level illusions, directly "perceiving" the spatial outline and basic energy flow of life forms behind them!
Moonlight Affinity → Void Moon Shadow: Retains the attack power increase effect in moonlight environments. Under moonlight, the Void Hunting Ranger can perform short-distance "Shadow Jumps." They can merge into a patch of shadow like merging into a stream of water, and instantly emerge from another shadow under the moonlight. On moonless but reasonably starlit nights, the effect and distance of this ability are halved.
[New Skill]: Dimensional Rending Arrow
Effect: What is shot is not an ordinary arrow, but a special energy arrow condensed from spatial power. The greatest characteristic of this arrow is that it does not fly toward the target in a straight line; instead, it can perform spatial leaps mid-flight, making its trajectory completely unpredictable! The arrow pierces through the void, easily bypassing obstacles and penetrating shields to deliver a near "sure-hit" strike against targets hiding behind solid cover.
Additional Damage: Upon hitting, the spatial power contained in the arrow will explode, forming a small-scale spatial rift at the target location, causing continuous spatial tearing damage to the hit enemy and the small area around them.
"Epic Mid-grade... Although the quality improvement isn't as high as the previous two, these two new and strengthened skills..." An irrepressible light of excitement erupted in Lin Tian's eyes, and his previous slight disappointment was swept away.
"Dimensional Insight, Void Moon Shadow, Dimensional Rending Arrow... This, this is simply a strategic-level assassin and sniper master born specifically for over-the-horizon sniping, behind-enemy-lines decapitation, and point-blank elimination of targets!"
Although the overall quality was slightly lower, in Lin Tian's view, the strategic value and the potential to subvert specific battlefield situations of the Void Ranger might even exceed those of the Golden Armored Spearmans and Pale Moon Hunters!
