Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 94 - 74: Legendary Hero, Source of Plague (Part 2)
[Due to the influence of the Talent "Poison Rat Bloodline," your weapon attacks will now be imbued with "Plague Poison." Each hit to an enemy’s flesh will deal 2 points of poison damage for 20 seconds. Additional physical attacks within this duration will stack this poison damage infinitely and refresh the poison’s duration.]
[Due to the influence of the Professional Skill "Paralyzing Poison," the Plague Poison damage you inflict now has an additional nerve-paralyzing effect, reducing the hit enemy’s movement speed and reaction time. The slow effect varies based on the target’s Poison Resistance and physical strength, ranging from a minimum of 1% to a maximum of 50% (this effect is additive and stacks with multiple layers of poison).]
[Plague Power . Forest Poison . Armor-Piercing Arrow: An Armor-Piercing Arrow that ignores 30% of enemy armor and deals additional physical damage. Upon striking flesh, it inflicts 1 point of non-stacking poison damage over 10 seconds (Forest Poison) and 2 points of stackable poison damage over 20 seconds (Plague Poison), while also reducing the enemy’s Attack Speed and movement speed.]
Tsk!
’This is the feeling!’
’It takes me right back to my newbie days in *Bloodborne*, whittling down all sorts of bosses with a slow poison build!’
What’s more!
Diablo also has a skill called "Poison Burst"!
’This is kind of like the rapid poison build in *Bloodborne*!’
’You can instantly deal massive poison burst damage to a boss, making it perfect for an aggressive, speed-running strategy!’
’The key is...’
’Its "Poison Burst" skill doesn’t require the poison to have been applied by Diablo itself.’
’This means...’
’As long as an enemy is suffering from poison damage... ’
’...whether it was stacked by Diablo, other Ratman Warriors, or even by me... Diablo can detonate it all!’
’This would cause a massive amount of AOE poison damage and transfer all the poison stacks on the target directly to all surrounding creatures hit by the poison explosion!’
’Explosive damage!’
’And the mechanic is just as insane!’
’The only drawback is probably that this move doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe, so it can’t be used in just any situation.’
’It makes sense, though.’
’An overpowered, heaven-defying AOE skill like this, with terrifying damage over time and even more terrifying burst damage, is already off the charts in terms of power!’
’If it could also automatically identify friendly and enemy units on the battlefield!’
’With no restrictions whatsoever!’
’It wouldn’t just be overpowered!’
’It’d be a straight-up bug!’
With that thought, Qin Feng’s gaze sharpened. He drew his bow again, aiming at the Dogman Hero in the distance.
Accompanied by a short hum, an arrow wreathed in dark green Curse Patterns tore through the air, precisely sinking into the exposed left palm of the charging Dogman Hero, a spot unprotected by his Champion Armor.
[Your arrow has successfully hit Gluttony’s Chosen, "Rado"!]
[Affected by the enemy’s Talent "Thick-Skinned and Robust"! Your physical damage for this attack is reduced by 30%!]
[You have dealt 3 points of physical damage to the enemy!]
[The enemy is now Poisoned! It loses 3 Life Value per second! Its movement speed and Attack Speed are reduced by 4%!]
’Perfect!’
’Just as I thought, zero Poison Resistance!’
’It’s just that this guy’s Constitution Attribute is so high that the slow effect from "Paralyzing Poison" is a bit weak!’
’But that’s not a big deal!’
’It can be stacked!’
’It can all be stacked!’
And so, Qin Feng went into full chip-damage mode. The bowstring vibrated like a rapid drumbeat, and the whistle of arrows through the air became a continuous stream.
At first, King Rado didn’t think much of it. He just assumed the incoming arrows were the desperate death throes of an enemy terrified by his charge, an enemy that had even forgotten its basic instinct to flee from danger due to Fear.
But soon, he realized there was something wrong with these small, painless arrows hitting his palm!
’Shit!’
’This is bad!’
’The arrows are poisoned!’
By now, King Rado’s palm had been hit by sixteen consecutive arrows from Qin Feng. An eerie, purplish-black pattern spread from where the arrowheads were embedded—sixteen stacks of "Plague Poison" and one stack of "Forest Poison" were coursing wildly through his bloodstream, spreading throughout his body.
And King Rado could clearly feel the strange poison in the arrows paralyzing his nervous system, causing an immediate 34% reduction in his movement and Attack Speed.
Furthermore, his Life Value was draining away like an inverted hourglass, at a rapid rate of 33 points per second!
Although this level of negative status effect wasn’t a huge deal.
Relying on the invincible physique and powerful willpower he gained after becoming Gluttony’s Chosen, King Rado could still charge forward full of vigor and, while he was at it, cleave those frail Ratman Warriors to death with a swing of his axe.
But what he dreaded more was the bizarre mechanic of these Poison Arrows that allowed the poison damage to stack endlessly!
’If I don’t manage to kill that strange human who keeps shooting at me in one fell swoop!’
’If he hits me a few more times with these terrifying Poison Arrows, the rate at which my Life Force drains will become even more severe!’
’It’s not even impossible that I could just drop dead in a matter of seconds...’
"Dammit!"
"How dare you look down on me!"
King Rado let out a furious roar, his blood-red pupils flashing with a vicious light. His feet suddenly stomped down, shattering the stone slabs beneath them, and he lunged toward Qin Feng and the others, who were now just a stone’s throw away, at a suddenly increased speed!
But Qin Feng and his group didn’t give him the chance to use "Tornado Slash" or "Shattering."
They just turned tail and ran.
King Rado: "???"
’Shit!’
’Damned Ratmen!’
’Despicable human!’
’Are all you guys who like playing Shooters so filthy in your thinking?!’
’If you’ve got the guts, come and fight me head-on!’
’Why the fuck are you running!?’
Qin Feng turned a deaf ear to the furious roars behind him. Once he had created a safe enough distance, he once again aimed at King Rado’s palm and fired another volley of Plague Arrows.
King Rado, trying to defend himself, hid his exposed hands behind his back. But to his surprise, Qin Feng’s subsequent arrows were as cunning as vipers, slipping through the gaps in the seams of his Champion Plate Armor to accurately strike the flesh hidden within.
"???????" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
’So unless I’m one of the Empire’s tin cans, there’s no stopping your arrows, is that it?’
’Heh!’
’You gotta be kidding me!’
’What the fuck is this shit!?’
’360-degree, no-blind-spot, full-coverage auto-aim lock!’
’Even the gods from Zhao’s Ruins would have to call you Big Bro!’
’Is this guy even human?’
At this point, King Rado finally understood why this human had dared to stand his ground and fire relentlessly at him during his Frenzy charge.
’Because this human runs faster than a pack of rabbits in the forest!’
’I can’t catch him at all!’
’And he can use his heaven-defying archery to precisely hit my flesh!’
’And poison me!’
"This won’t work..."
"If I keep chasing..."
"I’ll definitely be whittled to death by his Poison Arrows..."
Seeing himself being run in circles by Qin Feng’s kiting tactics, the thought of retreat suddenly surfaced in King Rado’s mind.
So, he abruptly wrenched his body around. His four hooves kicked up shattered stones as he turned, crashing through his thronging Kobold guards like a black whirlwind. He forcibly plowed a path through the chaotic army and retreated back to the heart of his formation.
Without pausing to catch his breath, his great, pincer-like hands snatched two Kobold guards from his left and right.
The crisp crack of shattering Bone Armor mixed with shrill wails. He slammed the two unlucky Kobolds against his chest like ragdolls, their uneven bodies perfectly blocking the faint seams on his Champion Plate Armor.
Qin Feng: "?"
’Kobold-meat shields?’
’So shameless?’
Before Qin Feng could think further, King Rado had already bellowed an order for all his Kobold guards to retreat.
Instantly, the dense army of Kobolds retreated like a receding tide. They swarmed around King Rado, whose eyes were filled with rage, as he crashed open the heavy city gates. Like a startled giant tortoise, he ducked back into the ancient city they had long occupied.
Then, with a tremendous BOOM, the rust-spotted iron gates slammed shut, completely separating the cavern walls outside from the building shadows within. All that remained were the broken Poison Arrows littering the ground and the putrid stench lingering in the air.
[Battle over!]
[Your Sigmar combat...]
Qin Feng: "???"
"He ran?"
"He just ran away like that?"
"You could’ve at least tried another charge with your Kobold-meat shields, you know?"
At this moment, Qin Feng was speechless.
He had thought that this Evil God Hero, hand-picked by the God of Gluttony, would at least have the tenacity to fight to the death and be a little more courageous than a regular Kobold mob.
Who would’ve thought that after getting grazed just a few times by his Poison Arrows, with more than half of his Blood Volume remaining...
...he would just chicken out and run away on the spot?
And get this!
This guy had clearly figured out the trick to countering the Poison Arrows!
But he didn’t dare to use this newfound advantage to organize a more thorough attack!
’This guy?’
’An Evil God Hero?’
’Gluttony’s Chosen?’
"Damn, I’m speechless. Looks like we’ll have to fight a siege battle after all..."
