18: The power of the artifact, the time of suspension

[-15]

[-33]

[-123]

...

The damage numbers appearing one after another made the Menglong Guild members’ scalps tingle.

Even the battle against the Violent Tiger King earlier hadn't resulted in such low damage.

Is this really a Goblin?

Is it even stronger than a wild BOSS?

“Don’t panic, brothers. This thing has low magic resistance, and it’s a pet, so its health won’t be too high. Warriors, continue forward and hold it off. Mages, retreat and prepare to cast high-damage spells.”

Wu You calmly commanded in the team channel.

As the Guild Leader, he clearly knew the attributes of everyone in the team.

Just by looking at the damage, he immediately saw that He's Just a Legend's magic resistance wasn't high.

As long as they could withstand He's Just a Legend’s attacks and let the Mages finish their incantations, a wave of powerful damage would instantly kill this Goblin pet.

However, unfortunately, Qin Tian had no intention of giving them that opportunity.

Wu You’s seemingly perfectly correct command played right into Qin Tian’s hands.

Qin Tian was waiting for this exact opportunity.

In a chaotic battlefield, with various skills being released, it was difficult to identify who released which skill without being extremely familiar.

At this moment, all the Menglong Guild Mages retreated, so Qin Tian didn't need to continue searching among the crowd. He charged directly towards the Menglong Guild Mages who had retreated to the back.

“This kid actually dares to charge over. Archers, prepare! All of you, shoot him!”

Wu You saw Qin Tian charge out and was delighted rather than surprised.

If Qin Tian had stayed put, they would have had a hard time dealing with him because of the Goblin's massive body blocking the way.

But now that Qin Tian had charged out, there was no cover at all.

Isn't that a living target?

Arrows shot out, and the swishing sound of them cutting through the air filled the surroundings.

Just as these arrows were about to land on Qin Tian, a sudden change occurred.

Qin Tian held a pocket watch in his hand.

He lightly pressed it.

Eternal Time Pointer: After use, it can cause the space within a 1000-meter radius to enter an absolute static state for 3 seconds.

The ticking pocket watch stopped turning, and a surging energy spread out from Qin Tian as its center.

The arrows shot at Qin Tian froze in mid-air.

The Warriors battling He's Just a Legend had their shields raised high but had not yet brought them down.

The Healers and Mages maintained their chanting movements, but no sound came from their mouths.

The birds in the sky, the swimming fish, and even the Berserk Violent Tiger King hundreds of meters away...

With Qin Tian as the center, the space within a 1000-meter radius entered an absolute static state.

Except for Qin Tian, everyone's time was paused at this moment.

Qin Tian's momentum remained unchecked, and a new Beginner Long Staff appeared in his hand.

Time Stop remaining: 3 seconds.

Qin Tian arrived in front of the Mages.

Time Stop remaining: 2 seconds.

The long staff in Qin Tian's hand was raised high.

Time Stop remaining: 1 second.

The Beginner Long Staff slammed down.

Staff Weapon Talent Skill [Sweep] triggered.

[Sweep]: Attacks with a staff weapon, triggering a split splash effect, dealing 100% damage to a 5-meter area in front.

The Time Stop ended, and everyone recovered.

Qin Tian's long staff swept across, and these Menglong Guild Mages, because they were standing too close together, were all covered by the effect of [Sweep].

These Mages, trained to kill BOSSes for the Guild, had almost all their attribute points allocated to Intelligence in pursuit of maximum attack power. How could they withstand Qin Tian's attack?

With one sweep of the staff, they all turned into streaks of white light.

They were instantly killed by Qin Tian.

The sound of a large amount of items scattering rang out. The equipment on these people and the items in their bags dropped in large quantities due to their deaths.

Equipment of various colors, shining with different lights, lit up around Qin Tian.

Wu You and the others only reacted at this moment, looking at Qin Tian in disbelief.

“How could he be so fast?”

Wu You's expression was somewhat dazed. He never dreamed that Qin Tian would possess a Mythical-grade item that could stop time.

For ordinary people like them, let alone a Divine-grade item, even purple equipment was already rare among the rare.

Qin Tian quickly picked up the equipment on the ground. It had to be said that Mages were indeed farming classes.

These Menglong Guild Mages were all incredibly wealthy. Not only was the equipment they wore top-notch, but they also had a good amount of high-quality equipment for other classes in their bags that they hadn't had time to sell.

Qin Tian didn't even look at the attributes, starting from his head, he rapidly equipped them one by one.

Equipping [Wolf King's Leather Cap] successful. Stamina +3, Constitution +2, Strength +1, Defense +65, Health +130.

Equipping [Swift Wind Leather Armor] successful. Agility +4, Constitution +1, Defense +25, Health +85.

Equipping [Water Spirit Pants] successful. Intelligence +10, Constitution +1, Defense +20, Health +60.

...

Because his level was high enough and he had allocated some points to various attributes, Qin Tian was completely unaffected by the attribute restrictions of this equipment. No matter what—Mage, Warrior, or Archer—as long as it was available, he could equip it.

Soon, Qin Tian put together a mixed set of gear. To boost his attributes, he even wore a full 10 rings.

With his equipment fully donned, Qin Tian charged directly from the outer perimeter towards the center of the fight.

Meanwhile, He's Just a Legend attacked from the inside out.

Wu You had completely failed to anticipate this sudden turn of events.

Now that they had lost their Mages, that Goblin could no longer be dealt with.

“Warriors, continue to hold the line! Everyone else, kill Qin Tian! Whoever kills him gets an extra one million!”

Wu You shouted loudly.

He couldn't bear the responsibility for so many Mages dying. Now, he could only do his best to kill Qin Tian to atone for his failure.

Unfortunately, Wu You underestimated Qin Tian's combat power. Even when he wasn't wearing equipment, these people were no match for Qin Tian, let alone now that he was fully geared up.

In terms of survivability alone, Qin Tian was even stronger than He's Just a Legend.

Constitution and Defense weren't added for nothing, not to mention that he was now wearing a complete set of equipment.

A shadow slowly appeared behind Qin Tian.

[Stealth]

[Backstab]

[Sap]

The Thief class's three-hit combo.

“Got him!”

The Menglong Guild Thief shouted excitedly.

Relying on the effect of the [Stealth] skill, he successfully approached Qin Tian while invisible. [Backstab] attacked Qin Tian's weak point, dealing massive damage, and [Sap] was his most proud move, capable of stunning Qin Tian for two seconds.

[-99]

But why didn't this damage seem massive at all?

How was he even tankier than that Goblin?

The Menglong Guild Thief was stunned. As the strongest physical single-target damage dealer, he had never been so frustrated before today.

Two seconds passed in a flash, and Qin Tian regained his mobility.

The attacks from the other Menglong Guild members also landed.

Qin Tian directly picked up a shield to block.

[-33]

[-23]

[-55]

...

“He deals such high damage, shouldn't he have put all his points into Strength? How can he still wield a shield? Did he also add Stamina and Constitution? This is unscientific, this is unscientific!”

The Menglong Guild members never dreamed that someone would allocate their stats like Qin Tian.

Qin Tian put away his shield, and a longsword was already in his hand.

It was no longer the Beginner Long Blade, but a Level 15 purple rare weapon, the Fishbone Longsword.
