268: Overload mode consumption

With continuous dodging and counter-attacks, Gongye Shiyi was now starting to adapt to the rhythm of being attacked by two Jellyfish.

He constantly widened the distance, swinging his Greatsword, and finally managed to hold out until the thirtieth second.

On the Greatsword in his hand, the pointer had successfully completed a full rotation, reaching its end.

In an instant, a powerful force burst forth from the Greatsword, and along with this force, two red blade auras covered the blades on both sides of the Greatsword.

This was precisely the Blade-Opening state after Overload Mode had finished charging!

At this moment, Gongye Shiyi felt his body become incredibly light, as if the Greatsword had transformed into a part of his body, becoming an extension of his arm.

His heart also seemed to ignite, powerfully pumping blood and strength throughout his body.

His body had been amplified a second time, and the effect of this amplification was far greater than the amplification of the Basic Breathing Technique on the body.

In the armor state, Gongye Shiyi did not feel this power amplification very clearly.

However, at this moment, in his frail human form, Gongye Shiyi could clearly feel the amplification of his body under this power.

Is this the Overload Mode in human form?

"Thirty seconds, the entire process of charging Overload is as stable as ever."

"But since Overload Mode has been activated, let's try attacking."

Shui Yuqianxi beckoned to Gongye Shiyi, flipping through the Sea Spirit Record in her hand, and once again shot a card, soaring towards the Jellyfish.

It was indeed the [Orca M].

As the [Tiger Whale] M that Shui Yuqianxi had mastered earliest, used the most, and developed the most.

It could be said to be the most balanced, and at the same time, the most perfectly used card among all of Shui Yuqianxi's cards.

As the [Orca M] merged into the Jellyfish, the aura of both Jellyfish began to change.

Their entire bodies also grew a size larger.

'Hmm, not bad.'

'It seems that although Yu Lai currently cannot engage in close-quarters armored combat, she can temporarily fight as a Summoner.'

'Perhaps... this is the true meaning of a Summoner?'

Shui Yuqianxi looked at the Jellyfish in front of her, very satisfied with the power of the Sea Spirit Record.

Gongye Shiyi took a deep breath, feeling the fatigue completely recede, and his body reach a peak, as he charged towards the two Jellyfish.

In the charging state, it was natural to dodge as much as possible, doing his best to preserve himself.

This was also the purpose of training the charge.

But upon entering Overload Mode, he needed to refine his combat skills at this time.

In Overload Mode, the armor would undergo certain secondary changes.

At this time, in human form, upon activating Overload Mode, Gongye Shiyi's hair also took on a metallic luster.

His deep brown eyes also turned a dazzling gold, as if glowing.

His entire being underwent a slight mutation under this power.

Bang bang bang!

The extremely fast Jellyfish tentacles pierced out, tearing through the air, like bullets, containing a force that could not be ignored.

Gongye Shiyi swung his Greatsword, blocking the Jellyfish tentacles, feeling the force transmitted from the hilt.

Then, he swept to the side, gripping the Greatsword tightly, holding it by his side, and began to charge.

Shui Yuqianxi's gaze narrowed slightly, controlling the Jellyfish tentacles to quickly catch up.

Gongye Shiyi stood his ground and suddenly swung his sword behind him.

The Jellyfish tentacles intertwined, blocking the Greatsword.

At the same time, one Jellyfish head quickly aimed at Gongye Shiyi, lifting slightly.

A stream of water shot out, transforming into a miniature Orca, blasting towards Gongye Shiyi.

"First-stage charge, slash!"

Gongye Shiyi's expression changed in surprise, and the Greatsword, having completed its first-stage charge, slashed out fiercely.

The miniature Orca was split in two, splashing into water.

However, the other Jellyfish took this opportunity to rise again, shooting out an Orca phantom, blasting towards Gongye Shiyi's other side.

Gongye Shiyi lowered his body and positioned his sword, using his shoulder to brace the Greatsword's blade, resisting the Orca's attack.

The Orca heavily impacted the sword blade, then burst into a spray of water.

A tremendous force was solidly transmitted from the sword blade to Gongye Shiyi's shoulder, causing his shoulder to tingle slightly.

His body released the force by stepping back repeatedly, while simultaneously releasing force, he gripped the Greatsword tightly, charging again.

However, several Jellyfish tentacles, like venomous snakes, shot out, stabbing towards the charging Gongye Shiyi.

However, this time Gongye Shiyi did not make a strict defense, merely slightly raising the charging Greatsword, using the sword body to block several tentacles.

The tentacles below, however, solidly struck Gongye Shiyi's body.

The pain did not interrupt the charging.

In Overload Mode, all of the body's qualities are enhanced, naturally including defense.

Gongye Shiyi pulled at the tentacles, taking agile steps to dodge the remaining tentacles sideways.

First-stage charge, second-stage charge, third-stage charge!

While dodging the tentacles, the third-stage charge was already complete, Gongye Shiyi stepped quickly to close in on the Jellyfish, and the Greatsword with its third-stage charge cleaved out.

In an instant, all blocking tentacles were crushed by the attack, and the Greatsword heavily struck the Jellyfish's head.

The Jellyfish's head rapidly caved in, absorbing the Greatsword's power.

Until the entire Jellyfish was caved in and distorted to its limit, it finally could no longer sustain itself and ruptured under the Greatsword's blade.

In an instant, water splashed everywhere.

However, the other Jellyfish, like a ghost, floated behind Gongye Shiyi.

Tentacles from the Jellyfish wrapped around Gongye Shiyi.

Gongye Shiyi turned and swung his Greatsword to block, but a wave of fatigue came over him at this moment.

His body's strength rapidly drained, his physical energy constantly dissipated, and even the heavy Greatsword, in an instant, became difficult to hold.

Overload Mode, it had reached its limit.

Gongye Shiyi knew this was the weakening sensation as Overload Mode reached its limit and was fading.

"Twenty seconds, your Overload Mode can only be maintained for twenty seconds."

Shui Yuqianxi clicked off the timer in her hand, stopping the Jellyfish's continued attack.

The last time he fought Xu Xuli, Gongye Shiyi hadn't kept track of the time.

However, counting from when Overload Mode was activated, Xu Xuli probably didn't last more than fifteen seconds.

"But as long as you can complete the Overload Mode charge, relying on Overload Mode's powerful attack and mobile charge."

"Twenty seconds can solve most monsters."

Clang!

The Greatsword stabbed into the ground, Gongye Shiyi gripped the hilt, leaning on the Greatsword, supporting his body, and breathing heavily.

This intense feeling of weakness made it difficult for him to even stand at this moment.

"But the stamina consumption is still a bit excessive."

"Take a break, then continue training. Holding a Summoner, with the Summoner's amplification power, you don't have to worry about overtraining."

"By training this way, your stamina will improve eventually."

Gongye Shiyi could already feel the Summoner's power helping him recover his stamina and consumption.

"You need to shorten the charging time for Overload Mode as much as possible through training, and extend the duration of Overload Mode."

"Ideally, you also need to learn how to interrupt Overload Mode."

"If you encounter a highly mobile monster, and they figure out your information, they might distance themselves when you're in Overload Mode and wait for it to end."

"You must learn to interrupt Overload Mode to recover stamina and deal with such situations."
