164: The sacred battle begins!
Return to the Forgotten Land.
It was just a matter of drinking a cup of tea.
Lin Ye's Star Destroyer Bow was unusable for her; the attributes didn't match.
Su Wanting was a pure archer.
Attack speed, critical strike, number of arrows.
These were the most crucial output affixes.
As for defense?
Sorry.
If you talk about defense with a traditional archer, you're insulting the profession.
Don't ask~
If you ask, it's that archers don't need defense.
Ask again?
Output is defense.
As long as I clear all the monsters, I won't take any damage.
Professionally.
Su Wanting didn't have a single defensive skill.
Attribute-wise.
Full agility allocation.
At level 150, her base health was still less than 1,000 points.
Equipment gems...
Lin Ye, adhering to the principle that if you're already squishy, why bother with a little defense, directly maxed out attack speed and critical strike.
"Weapon, Mythical-grade, ultra-high physical damage conversion, +6 arrows!"
"Quiver, Mythical-grade, +2 arrows!"
"One ring is for critical strike, one applies agility affixes, the necklace converts extra penetration into negative resistance, the helmet ignores close-range enemies and enhances long-range attacks."
"Armor, shoes, and protective gear, along with gems, provide basic health, defense, and abnormal status immunity; these are essential, otherwise, she'd be too squishy and die with one touch."
"Extra arrow count, +26!!!"
"Tsk, attack speed over 300, attack range over 10,000 meters, actual hit critical strike rate over 500%, first tier completed!"
When Lin Ye put together the build, he specifically calculated it.
Critical strike rate, at the Mythical level, was still not that easy to stack.
The critical strike rate that could be found on Su Wanting's equipment was only 150%.
The rest.
It was all achieved by triggering states, auras, and the ranged critical strike amplification from professional skills.
"This current state is considered complete; the core affix equipment inside cannot be changed, otherwise, the output won't be achieved."
"The next time for improvement will only be when a full set of Primordial-grade equipment is available."
"However..."
Lin Ye paused, a slight smile on his lips: "For now, your current state is already close to perfect."
"500% critical strike rate."
"Meaning you have 300% + 2400% critical damage, 27 times!"
"At the same time, there's 270% penetration, so even if the enemy has full resistance, they'll still take 200% extra damage, which calculates to 54 times after multiplication."
Brutal!
Lin Ye looked at Su Wanting's panel:
"Even if you only have 300,000 base attack now, single arrow damage is over ten million."
"Factoring in the number of arrows, even if only half hit, it's easily over one hundred million."
"Factoring in illusions..."
Heh~
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow: "Even if she only uses one move, she can instantly kill all bosses with less than one hundred million health."
Full power output?
That's not a question of whether one dares to imagine.
And Lin Ye's brain wasn't a computer; he truly couldn't calculate the damage limit under such complex mechanisms.
After all.
Su Wanting's current attack speed was 300!
Per second...
300 times!
30 billion output per second!
Is playing with mechanics really that abnormal?
Lin Ye himself found it somewhat unbelievable.
Across from him.
Su Wanting was dizzy just listening.
Even though she was a good university student, she couldn't understand any of this.
"Her?"
"One move can instantly kill a boss with over one hundred million health?"
Bai Shuya clearly didn't believe it.
"Even someone as strong as I am, a normal skill only just barely exceeds one hundred million damage~"
She was a mage.
The increase in casting speed in the later stages was much harder than attack speed.
The maximum number of casts per second was only 30, far from the archer's abnormal 300 times.
"Hmm, you have a flaw in your mechanics."
Lin Ye pondered for a moment.
"Talents are different; your talent mechanics can't achieve these things. If you want to improve further, you'll have to find more mechanics, or find more extreme attribute equipment."
"Of course, pure attributes still have limitations; ultimately, you'll still have to find it in mechanics."
Speaking of which.
Lin Ye also had no ideas.
After all, attributes are something she doesn't have the hundred-fold benefit of. If other affixes are stacked, it's too much of a test of the craftsman's skill. Currently, it's not achievable at the Mythical level; one can only rely on luck.
"No way, this is the gap between numerical values and mechanics."
Bai Shuya still didn't believe it.
She only knew.
Her current panel was terrifyingly strong.
"Whether it works or not, we'll know once we try it out. I, the Dual Saint of Battle and Magic, how could I possibly lose to a little girl who uses a bow?!"
Pfft~
Hahahahaha!
Lin Ye almost burst out laughing.
"You're at least two things away from being a Dual Saint of Battle and Magic... hmm."
Bai Shuya's beautiful eyes flashed, and she immediately asked, "What things?"
"Two kidneys!"
Lin Ye laughed: "You need at least two kidneys, training fiercely day and night, to possibly cultivate both combat and magic to the Saint level."
No joke.
Lin Ye had seen Saints and had killed Demon Kings.
How did that saying go...
Only opponents truly know your strength.
How difficult was it to kill Demon King Zhuhun?
Just look at how many Saints he killed to know.
How strong were the Four Demon Kings?
Just look at how Lin Ye rushed in with a set of space-time combos, all output skills unleashed, and still almost capsized, to know.
Whether Saints or Demon Kings.
Their combat power was no longer limited to just their panels.
Like CEO Bai and Wan Ting...
To be honest.
Their panels were just okay.
Once they encountered a true Saint, their chances would infinitely approach zero.
The only non-zero chance.
Lay in striking first.
Using the most brutal panel, at the fastest speed, reaching the closest distance, and dealing enough damage in one blow to break through the Saint's defense system, and also instantly killing them.
It sounds simple.
But in reality.
Only Lin Ye could accomplish this impossible operation with his space-time skills.
"The panel is very strong, and the mechanics are also good, but there's no combat experience, and the skills haven't been cultivated to break through their limits, so there's a lack of means to deal with Saints."
Shadow Moon Yao explained:
"Although I've only just awakened and am barely comparable to a Saint outside the Star Moon Palace, for you two... the practical application of skills and the judgment of output and defense are different."
She stopped halfway through her sentence and didn't continue.
Clearly.
She was absolutely confident that she could handle CEO Bai and Su Wanting.
Bai Shuya was unconvinced and was about to retort, but upon seeing it was the Queen, she instantly deflated.
"You are the teacher... you're right~"
All your skills were taught by her.
How strong your panel is, how could she not know?
The teacher says you failed the test.
How much more effort do you need to put in to reach the passing line?
Bai Shuya verbally conceded, but she was still angry inside.
In the past.
It was fine if a few tens of thousands of combat power couldn't fight.
Now?
My combat power is already hundreds of millions; can't I fight now?
Didn't I just increase my combat power by hundreds of millions for nothing?
"No, I want to go to the battlefield and see!"
Bai Shuya really couldn't stay in the Forgotten Land anymore.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanting and Yan Yan also clearly showed some eagerness.
If it were before.
Lin Ye naturally wouldn't have brought them, but now their combat power looked good.
But whether they could actually fight...
That would only be known after fighting.
Actually.
Even Lin Ye himself wanted to know if the build he helped Wan Ting with had any fighting power.
"Okay, then let's go together."
"But first, kick all players out of the Forgotten Land, including those from clubs, not a single one left."
Before Lin Ye left, he still tidied up the house, and at the same time, looked to the side.
"Yueyao, I'll leave this to you, no problem, right?"
"Yes, I'll keep an eye on it."
Shadow Moon Yao, as the awakened Queen, a Saint-level combatant, and a true strong person who had cultivated herself and sparred with the Saints, was formidable.
Her presence in the Forgotten Land meant safety.
"Let's go."
Lin Ye led everyone to teleport to the Star Moon Palace.
The Queen definitely had to stay.
The enemy's main attack direction was the Royal Capital, so she had to be there no matter what.
On the city wall.
Lin Ye looked at the empty plains in the distance: "Didn't they say they were going to ambush? Why haven't they come yet?"
At the same time.
Ex and the others in the distant Empire also received the news.
"Demon Lord has arrived at the Moon Shadow Royal Capital, appearing on the city wall!"
"Are you sure?"
"Confirmed! Real-time information, right now!"
Good~
Ex's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp glint.
"The first step of the Holy War, we have succeeded!"
"Activate the teleportation array~"
"Depart!"
