190: Chapter 186 [Pressure Cooker!] Takeoff!

First up was the Slime.

Lu Yuan flicked his consciousness, and three cards glowing with brilliant light quietly floated in front of him.

[Gold · Tooth Fairy]: Killing enemies within a limited time has a chance to drop teeth. Each tooth lost provides permanent magic penetration and physical penetration.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

Tooth Fairy?

He had never seen this Hextech Rune before.

The effect was also quite insane—if one lost enough teeth, wouldn't that mean ignoring all of an enemy's armor?

The damage dealt would be equivalent to True Damage, right?

"Hiss—that's too insane."

But soon, he shook his head.

The Slime's core output was already True Damage, and even more premium percentage-based True Damage at that.

The Tooth Fairy's penetration effect was completely useless to it.

[Prismatic · Archmage]: When casting a skill, there is a chance to randomly reduce the cooldown of other skills.

This was another Prismatic Hextech Rune he had never seen before.

The effect was equally insane.

The faster the skill rotation, the higher the Slime's bombardment frequency.

But the problem was, the Slime's core abilities all stemmed from passives; active skills were just its auxiliary means.

The Archmage's boost to it was actually very limited.

Pass!

Then he could only choose the third one.

Lu Yuan looked at the last card.

[Prismatic · Demon on the Shoulder]: Sign a contract with a demon. When you begin combat, you will continuously consume your own HP and gain a damage boost.

You can deal additional True Damage to enemies, and each time you deal damage, you gain a healing orb.

Picking up a healing orb heals your lost HP.

...

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, carefully analyzing the effect of this Hextech Rune.

Demon on the Shoulder...

This was a double-edged sword of a Hextech Rune.

The drawback was obvious: it would continuously drain one's own HP.

If there weren't sufficient recovery methods, the Slime would collapse before the fight was even over.

But the advantages were equally prominent: damage boost, additional True Damage, and healing orbs.

If the Slime paired with this Hextech Rune to deal high AOE damage, it could drop a large number of healing orbs.

Perhaps, instead of dying, it would only get stronger the longer it fought.

This single Hextech Rune could directly change the Slime's positioning, turning it from a pure damage dealer into a blood-magic build!

"This is the one!"

Lu Yuan made his choice.

A layer of dark red light instantly radiated from the Slime.

Above its head, a flickering phantom of a demon appeared, only to quickly merge into its body.

The Slime was stunned for a moment.

Then, feeling the newly acquired power within, its eyes suddenly lit up!

"Woohoo!"

"King Slime is back!"

"I just want to ask, who else is there?!"

It excitedly circled wildly in the sky, its dragon wings flapping and stirring up gusts of wind.

Just from the text, it could understand the power of this Hextech Rune.

The more it fought, the stronger it got; the more it fought, the more HP it had!

This was simply tailor-made for it!

Lu Yuan smiled, ignoring the Slime's excitement.

His gaze fell upon the Little Skeleton.

Compared to the Slime, he was even more looking forward to the Little Skeleton's new Hextech Rune.

After all, there were still several insane Hextech Runes for the Little Skeleton's build that he hadn't chosen yet!

He flicked his consciousness.

Three cards appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

[Silver · Double Strike]: Attacks trigger an additional attack effect.

[Silver · Bang!]: Attacks strengthened by skills deal damage to the target and enemies around the target simultaneously.

[Gold · Pressure Cooker]: Applies a stackable Burn effect to nearby enemy units every second.

This Burn effect is equal to one ten-thousandth of the maximum HP!

Task: Deal 10 million Burn damage to enemy units.

Reward: Increase the range and damage of the Pressure Cooker.

...

"Hiss—!!!"

Lu Yuan gasped.

At this moment, there were only three words in his eyes: Pressure Cooker!!!

Looking at the percentage alone, this skill was indeed very small.

One ten-thousandth of maximum HP.

It sounded like it wasn't a big deal.

But so what?

The Little Skeleton's HP was high enough!

After the crazy stacking at the Starry Sky Fortress and the Freedom Federation, the Little Skeleton's maximum HP had already reached 600 million!

One ten-thousandth of that was 60,000 damage!

60,000 points per second!

And it was AOE damage!

Plus, combined with Void Sacrifice, Heartsteel, and Steel Your Heart... the Little Skeleton could just stand there without moving, and it could Burn a whole group to death just by existing!

Moreover, this Pressure Cooker could also complete tasks!

After completing the task, it could increase the range and damage of the Pressure Cooker!

Lu Yuan made his choice decisively.

"You're the one!"

A circle of purple flame effects immediately appeared around the Little Skeleton.

The range of that flame was very small, only about a meter in diameter.

The Little Skeleton lowered its head, looking at the purple flames around it, and the ghost fire in its eye sockets trembled violently.

It could also feel that it had gained a brand new, insane Hextech Rune!

Pressure Cooker plus Void Sacrifice... these two area-of-effect Burn damages could directly compensate for its lack of damage!

The Little Skeleton was so excited that its bones were rattling.

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a question.

He looked up at the Little Skeleton.

"Little Skeleton, get bigger! Let's see if the range of the Pressure Cooker gets bigger too!"

The Little Skeleton was stunned for a moment, then immediately complied.

Boom—!

Its figure suddenly surged!

In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a cute 1.5-meter Skeleton Soldier into a golden giant skeleton over 10,000 meters tall!

The purple flames around its body also rose accordingly!

From a one-meter diameter, it suddenly expanded to a huge range with a diameter of several thousand meters!

That circle of purple flames was like a burning cloud.

It surrounded the Little Skeleton's body, enveloping the entire ruin.

Lu Yuan widened his eyes.

"It can actually get bigger, good, good, good!"

The Little Skeleton's size increased by several thousand times, and the Pressure Cooker's Burn range also increased by several thousand times!

Doesn't that mean that as the Little Skeleton's size continues to grow in the future, the Pressure Cooker's range will also expand without limit?

Plus the task upgrades and the synergy with Void Sacrifice...

Lu Yuan couldn't even imagine how insane the Little Skeleton would become in the future.

The Little Skeleton thought of this as well, and the ghost fire in its eye sockets danced wildly.

...

In the distance, the Slime looked at the circle of purple flames covering the entire ruin, and the whole dragon froze.

"What the... what is this thing?!"

It had just been excited about its own new Hextech Rune.

But the next second, the Little Skeleton pulled out something even more exaggerated than its own!

"Master, this isn't fair!"

"I want to protest!"

The Slime cried itself to sleep in the bathroom.
