Chapter 34 A Level 20 Standing Firm Against a Level 50?
34 A Level 20 Standing Firm Against a Level 50?
Sterl was dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected that right after his class change, a level 50 enemy would smash into his face!
Due to the level gap, the only information he could see was as follows.
[Player: Philip Waldo] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Level: 50]
[Class: Blood God Priest (Grade C)]
[Attributes: ???]
[Talents: ???]
[Skills: ???]
And another player standing nearby, looking at him with a face full of regret as if she was looking at a dead man, was a female player. The detection result for her was—
[???]
[???]
[???]
This female player seemed to be of an even higher level, leaving Sterl unable to detect anything about her.
"What, I'm fighting a level 50?"
"Can I win??" Sterl logically thought that, being just a level 20 player who had just changed classes, fighting a level 50 enemy seemed like a huge disadvantage.
But somehow, perhaps sensing some mysterious and profound aura, he felt no pressure at all.
Faced with the blockade of the Bloody Trap, Sterl easily evaded it with just one teleportation by leveraging the effects of unlimited access to the Starry Domain in the dungeon
This scene made the other two players present slightly startled.
"True to being a genius player... such a practical skill." Teresa muttered, unable to help but lament, feeling it was a pity.
It would be great if such a talent could survive!
Philip, however, just smirked: "Well, Well, Well…The more you struggle, the happier I get!"
He had been scared into a panic by that "high-ranking member of the Blood God Sect," feeling extremely frustrated and violent. Facing Sterl, a mere ant to him, Philip only wanted to toy with him and torment him!
The youth with an eerie appearance once again burst forth, launching an attack!
A professional skill from the Blood God Priest—[Hatred Spike].
Philip's palm opened in a grasping motion, then suddenly made a crushing gesture, as fresh red blades burst forth from the ground!
Like blooming flowers scattering everywhere!
As soon as Sterl is about to be pricked into a sieve...
At the same time, Philip personally joined the fray, his hand wielding a long spear made of blood, thrusting straight at Sterl's head!
The youth's face flushed with excitement, his whole body trembling - He had blocked all possible escape routes for Sterl.
Even if Sterl could teleport, dodging the[Hatred Spike]... Philip's own attack was inescapable!
At this moment, Teresa, without hesitation, released her skill [Thunderous Break]!
Instantly, a dazzling bolt of lightning was summoned by her.
"Take this!"
Accompanied by Teresa's shout, the lightning bolt fiercely struck Philip's blood-red barrier.
A rescue?
Impossible.
For Teresa, her own life was the priority.
She didn't mind using her own death in exchange for Sterl's escape. That was simply because having one more person die was meaningless.
But now, for some reason, this newbie player had such a strong survival ability. It seemed he could hold Philip Waldo off.
Naturally, Teresa wanted to find a way to survive!
As for Sterl, Teresa had already considered him as good as dead!
This genius newcomer, even if he possessed the teleportation skill, and giving him the benefit of the doubt, could release multiple teleports... he ultimately couldn't teleport indefinitely.
Facing a level 50 Blood God Priest, the most Sterl could do was to hang on for a little while longer.
In Teresa's view, the greatest respect she could show this newcomer player was to make good use of the time he had bought with his life!
The skill worked!
The dazzling lightning indeed tore a hole in the blood-red barrier. But to Teresa's despair, following a stream of bloody light automatically emanating from the ring-shaped sacrificial offering on Philip...
The barrier restored itself to its original state.
Teresa still couldn't escape.
"How could this be..."
"It's over..." Instantly, despair filled the eyes of the female player.
She truly was out of options, having used up almost all her life-saving items to reach the pit, only to find it empty.
And now, the hope of using the time Sterl had bought with his life to escape was also gone.
Even with her strong will, Teresa could only smile wryly and resignedly.
She knew that today, she was destined to die here...
And even before her death, she would be tormented by Philip.
With a resigned look, Teresa turned towards Sterl and managed a bittersweet smile, "Kid, I couldn't rescue you from the dungeon. So let's die together."
Teresa gathered the lightning in her hand, aiming it at herself.
She had decided, the moment Sterl died would be when she took her own life.
However...
Just as Teresa turned her head back, she heard an infuriated roar.
"You bastard!! How dare you!!"
It was Philip's shout.
But what Teresa saw was unbelievable.
The spikes made of strange bloody energy were easily dodged by Sterl with a teleport.
This, Teresa was not surprised by. At most, she would remark on the genius of this newcomer player, being able to consecutively use such a rare skill. If Sterl wasn't doomed to fall today, his future would be boundless.
Then what Teresa saw was—
After easily completing his dodge, Sterl did not flee in disarray. Instead, he swung his right hand, effortlessly condensing a blade of light.
Sterl's body shone with an incredibly intense light, unleashing a slash!
The blood-red spear created by the level 50 Blood God Priest clashed with the blade of light. In less than three seconds, a cracking sound was heard!
Then—
Clang!
A crisp sound.
Philip Waldo showed a look of astonishment. He didn't even have time to react before the glowing blade wounded his right shoulder blade, and he fell clumsily to the ground, screaming.
"Fuck!!!"
Philip clutched his wound, disbelief written all over his face, "How is this possible? What precious item did you use?"
"Damn it! Damn it! After I kill you, if it drops, it should be mine!"
"You're using my item against me!"
"You son of bitch!"
He screamed hysterically.
But Teresa, witnessing this scene, was even more incredulous!
Using an item?
She really couldn't see it!
Just then, Sterl summoning the blade of light was entirely an act of using a skill!
And for that reason, Teresa was completely dumbfounded.
A player of at most level 20, casually using a skill, could contend with a level 50, Grade C class character?
What kind of joke was that!
Since when did [Transcendence], this game, become so unbalanced?
After Philip Waldo's rant, he gradually realized that Sterl hadn't seemed to use any items just now. His eyes shifted, sensing something was amiss!
Both Teresa and Philip Waldo released their detection skills at the same time.
[Detection Spell]
[Eye of the Blood God]
Due to the vast level difference, they received detailed information about Sterl.
[Player: Sterl]
[Level: 20]
[Class: Starlight Mage (C-Class)]
[Attributes:
Constitution: 30
Strength: 30
Agility: 30
Spirit: 30]
[Talent: Attribute Amplification (A): Permanently increases all attributes by 20 points.]
Teresa: "???"
Philip Waldo: "???"
After reviewing these attributes, both were utterly baffled.
Are you kidding me?
After the detection, they realized something—the beam of starlight earlier must have been the effect of Sterl's class change.
This newcomer was now a professional.
But these attributes... something wasn't right.
Although a C-Class profession plus an A-Class talent proved that Sterl was indeed a genius player...
With just these attributes, such an A-Class talent, and a seemingly useless skill...
You managed to go head-to-head with a level 50 Blood God Priest and win??
Whoever believes that must be out of their mind!!
Both Teresa and Philip were intelligent enough to realize something immediately!
Sterl's attribute panel was disguised!
This kid was actually very strong!!
Instantly, Philip Waldo's expression turned cautious... no longer the crazed demeanor from before.
His thoughts raced, quickly forming a plan.
No matter how much Sterl had disguised, unless he had used a special item like himself, the fact that he could enter the dungeon meant this genius player was at most level 19 before.
Now, Sterl had just leveled up and completed his class change within the dungeon.
But even if the panel was disguised, and Sterl actually gained a massive opportunity, boosting his strength significantly after the class change, he couldn't possibly truly surpass a level 50, C-Class profession!
Thinking this, Philip Waldo decided...
He would go all out!
He would kill Teresa, whose combat strength he had already gauged, and then slowly deal with this genius player.
Blood God Priest class skill—
[Soul Devour]!
This was a new skill Philip Waldo learned upon reaching level 50, a blue-quality skill! Theoretically, it was a skill that players over level 60 could learn!
But with the blessing of the Duke of Blood, he had obtained this powerful move ahead of time!
