107: Chapter 107 Equipment Destruction Showdown
Leonhardt controlled the artifact, which arrived before Fu Hao with a sharp whistling sound!
Fu Hao could not dodge; he had to face it head-on. With his maxed-out movement and attack speeds, he could have tried to use the Block skill like Leonhardt, but this time he chose a more "luxurious" and safer path.
What he held tightly in his hand was the +10 "Guardian Shield", which was far more valuable than a +10 red iron spear! Before this legendary shield, wasting effort to Block was truly superfluous.
[Received 21 damage from the enemy.]
[Received 34 damage from the enemy.]
[Completely ignored enemy attack.]
Even without actively activating defensive ultimate skills like Block or Breath of Protection, the almost unreasonable damage reduction effect of Guardian Shield allowed only insignificant double-digit damage to penetrate!
This shockingly powerful defensive capability kept Fu Hao as steady as a rock amidst the rain of swords. He and Leonhardt were locked in a stalemate, trading Light Sword attacks.
Fu Hao was indeed shocked at first that the other party had also released Light Sword, but he quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation, realizing the scales were still tipping in his favor.
"Take these waves of sword rain head-on, and wait for the next attack opportunity!"
Earth Shatter's cooldown had about 20 seconds remaining. With the Fates Luck skill reset by the ring of the sage, he was certain he could trigger the crimson flame katana's ten-hit combo again.
With the guaranteed critical hit property of the crimson flame katana, as long as this ten-hit combo landed, even considering the lower limit of the weapon's attack power, it would definitely be enough to wipe out Leonhardt's remaining 20% HP!
"He shouldn't... be able to reflect it again, right?"
The specific trigger conditions for Leonhardt's rebound artifact were still unclear.
However, Fu Hao noticed a key point: the attacks he reflected back using Absorb Shield were not reflected a second time by the other party, and the Light Sword he shot out was not reflected back either.
Based on this, he inferred that the trigger conditions for that rebound artifact might be quite harsh. But even if it wasn't a rebound, Leonhardt might use other unknown artifacts to resolve this attack—if this all-out ten-hit combo missed again, he might not have another chance.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Fu Hao decided to bring out his trump card title skill—"Kings Majesty" granted by "The First King"!
This move could inflict a "Fear" status lasting up to 1 minute on all enemies within a 100-meter radius, with a cooldown of 1 day.
In terms of range and duration, it was a crushing control skill. Fu Hao knew Leonhardt's resistance to abnormal status effects was ridiculously strong, but unless he had a passive ultimate skill like "Status Immunity", he would at least be feared for over 6 seconds. Most importantly, Leonhardt had never watched Fu Hao's live stream, so there was absolutely no way he could know of this move's existence!
He planned to precisely release Kings Majesty about 3 seconds before the cooldown of "Earth Shatter" ended, while continuously monitoring the skill cooldown progress bar. However, he soon discovered that he could no longer leisurely wait for the cooldown to end—
"Huh?!"
While Fu Hao was using Guardian Shield to Block Leonhardt's Light Sword, he caught a glimpse of the continuously refreshing and unbelievable prompts in the combat log:
["red iron spear (+10)" durability decreased by 7 points.]
["red iron spear (+10)" durability decreased by 6 points.]
[Warning! "red iron spear (+10)" durability is below 10%. It will lose all equipment functions when durability reaches 0!]
["red iron spear (+10)" durability decreased by 6 points.]
[Warning! "red iron spear (+10)" durability is below 10%. It will lose all equipment functions when durability reaches 0!]
The truth was revealed! The seven cold, flashing weapons Leonhardt pulled out were not Light Sword, but magic weapons all enchanted with the "Equipment Durability Destruction" effect—destruction sword!
These weapons, when colliding with enemy weapons, would rapidly and efficiently erode and reduce their durability.
The most thorough way to dismantle the Light Sword magic was not to target the caster himself, but to directly destroy the physical weapon carrying the magic! Leonhardt was using these crushers to precisely disable all the red iron spear summoned by Fu Hao!
Even without destruction sword, with Leonhardt's masterful operation, he could dismantle Fu Hao's six Light Sword with his dual blades. But the urgency of being at low health made him unable to spare any trump cards, and he even brought out these destruction sword that he hadn't intended to use.
As the durability of each red iron spear dropped to zero, the Light Sword magic attached to them instantly failed, and the spears, having lost their support, fell listlessly to the ground.
Immediately after, Leonhardt's four idle destruction sword changed their edge again, like sharks that had smelled blood, and whistled toward Fu Hao in unison!
- "Holy crap!"
- "It's over, it's over!"
As the hostile sword rain attacked him simultaneously, a strong sense of fear instantly gripped the viewers in the live stream.
This scene itself was frightening enough. But what caused deep-seated fear in Fu Hao himself was that unknown "Durability Destruction" effect!
If this effect could not only act on weapons but also erode the equipment on other parts of his body... then the Guardian Shield he had finally managed to equip after rolling two "Usage Condition Reduced" stats, as well as his priceless +10 equipment, would all be in jeopardy!
Fu Hao's setup was heaven-defying in terms of attributes, skills, and equipment. However, the core foundation of all his power was undoubtedly that set of +10 equipment that had been tempered through thousands of battles and had reached the pinnacle of attributes! Once the equipment was destroyed, it was tantamount to declaring defeat.
"Damn it!" Fu Hao cursed in his heart.
Even if he immediately activated defensive skills like Block, Breath of Protection, or even Guardian Shield, defensive power and equipment durability were completely different concepts!
No matter how high the defense, it could not Block that erosive power specifically targeting the source of the equipment.
At this moment, the momentum of offense and defense instantly reversed! He had to wipe out Leonhardt's remaining 20% HP before his own equipment was completely destroyed! However, the cooldown for Earth Shatter was still a long way off.
Even if he immediately used Kings Majesty to control Leonhardt himself, it would be impossible to stop those four destruction sword that were high-speeding toward his equipment!
If Leonhardt chose to charge into melee combat himself, Fu Hao could still try to use Kings Majesty to control him, then follow up with a "Spatial Slash" ten-hit combo to complete the kill.
But the opponent cunningly chose to sit firmly on the fishing platform, only controlling the artifacts from a distance to launch attacks.
If he chose to use Guardian Shield's full defense form to take the hit now, he could temporarily save his life, but he would miss the only opportunity to launch Earth Shatter due to the skill's powerful penalty effects (such as action stiffness, inability to use other attack skills), falling into a dead-end dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat.
"If only the flying speed of these destruction sword was slower..."
Fu Hao was anxious in his heart. If the speed was slow enough, with his maxed-out movement speed, he might be able to dodge everything and hold out until Earth Shatter's cooldown finished to launch a fatal counterattack.
But the destruction sword artifact controlled by Leonhardt moved at an astonishing speed within the limited area, far exceeding the speed of the sword rain Fu Hao had previously controlled, making it impossible to dodge them all!
["Fu Haos Eternal Fan" tipped 50 yuan. (This is the majesty of the #1 combat power rank!)]
- "Destroying equipment, that's a foul!"
- "Is it going to end here?"
When Leonhardt's four destruction sword approached with the death aura of destroying equipment, almost all the viewers foresaw that Fu Hao was about to be defeated.
However, Fu Hao, who was at the center of the storm, did not have flames of despair in his eyes.
"I can only use that move..."
A flash of determination crossed his eyes, and he unhesitatingly took out a "Magic Bomb" from the depths of his backpack—this was the ultimate trump card with a unique effect that he had carefully selected from dozens of treasuries in the Subspace:
<Magic Bomb (+10)>
Rank: Mythical
Usage Conditions: None
* Inflicts massive damage to all living beings and items within a 1-meter radius.
* Attack Range +30%
* Attack Range +30%
* Attack Range +30%
* Damage to living beings +500%
* Damage to items +1000%
Its effect was simple and brutal! Just as Leonhardt used the unknown destruction sword to destroy Fu Hao's red iron spear, this Magic Bomb, which had been strengthened to +10 and had extreme attributes, could instantly destroy living beings and items within its range simultaneously!
After testing, the explosion power of a +10 Magic Bomb, in terms of damage to living beings alone, was at least stronger than his strongest single-target attack skill "Spatial Slash"!
And its damage to non-living beings (equipment) was even more exaggerated, enough to blast any part of a +10 red iron set into powder with one shot!
The "No Usage Conditions" setting made it heaven-defying. The only, and fatal, drawback was: the user themselves would also receive the same explosion damage—it was more like a suicide self-destruct device that had to be triggered by a living being with magic circulation, exploding the moment the button was pressed!
Fu Hao wasn't too afraid of being injured by the explosion; what he feared more was that the explosion would spread to and destroy the precious equipment on his body. Fortunately, he had 6,000 "Incomplete Mimic"s that he had just acquired.
Although these Mimics had weak attributes, like players or NPCs, they could use items normally! Excluding those consumed in experiments, he still had 19 Magic Bombs in his backpack. At this moment, he decided to use 10 of them:
[Summon "Incomplete Mimic".]
[Summon "Incomplete Mimic".]
[Summon "Incomplete Mimic".]
... (Ten consecutive summon commands)
Ten blurry figures instantly appeared around Fu Hao. He stuffed the ten Magic Bombs emitting dangerous ghostly light into the hands of these ten Mimics, and at the same time, a cold and decisive command was issued through the mental link—Self-destruct!
