Chapter 682: Star-Moon Piercing Spear
[Monster: Steel Demonic Soldier.]
[Level: 80.]
[Race: Ten Thousand Demons.]
[Attributes: Strength 130K; Agility 130K.]
[Skills: Iron Bastion (A), Death Crash (A), Steel Blade Death Dance (S), Aura Roar (S).]
[Note: The lowest-ranked soldier of the Ten Thousand Demons, possessing high defense and offensive capabilities, but with slow and clumsy movements.]
...…
Under Ling Zhan's SS-grade skill, Eye of Appraisal,
not only could he see through this level-80 demonic soldier, but he could also easily unveil the stats of level-150 monsters.
Furthermore...
Even the private information of other Professionals was exposed under this unparalleled skill, no matter how protected it was.
There was no denying the sheer terror of the Ten Thousand Demons!
This Steel Demonic Soldier, despite being only level 80, had four-dimensional attributes reaching 130K each!
To put it in perspective, Ling Zhan's attributes at level 80 wouldn't even match a fraction of this.
Only now, at level 100 and with the SSS-grade Ten Thousand Demons Breaking Realm Pill, did his four-dimensional attributes reach 200K.
No wonder even ordinary demonic soldiers required a team to tackle.
Any tier-3 powerhouse attempting to face one alone would likely meet a grim fate.
At present.
As the Steel Demonic Soldier, brimming with murderous intent, charged at him, Ling Zhan calmly raised his hand.
Buzz!!
A spear radiating brilliant starlight materialized in Ling Zhan's grip.
The moment this Star-Moon Piercing Spear appeared,
Wow!!
the crowd outside erupted into astonished murmurs!
"What the hell! Isn't that the Star-Moon Piercing Spear? That's the Sacred Shield War God's weapon from earlier!"
"It really looks like it! Isn't there only one in the entire world? How does he have one too?"
"Looks like he's planning to use the Star-Moon Piercing Spear to reduce the Steel Demonic Soldier's defense!"
Star-Moon Piercing Spear.
A top-tier spiritual weapon.
It belonged to the Sacred Shield War God, the captain of the team that cleared the tenth floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons.
That Sacred Shield War God had spent countless merit points to acquire this weapon, a rare gem for the Warrior profession!
The spear had a unique trait: Unbreakable Penetration.
[Unbreakable Penetration (Weapon Talent): Reduces the target's armor and magic resistance by 80% upon hit, lasting 10 seconds.]
This ability made the Sacred Shield War God a highly sought-after ally for any team.
The spear's contribution to the team's tenth-floor victory could not be overlooked.
Everyone present knew the significance of reducing armor and magic resistance by 80%.
"This guy seems to have a skill that copies other people's weapons!"
"I noticed it earlier—he's used copied weapons before!"
"Damn! That's overpowered!"
The crowd couldn't contain their exclamations.
"The craziest part..."
"The weapons he copies are even stronger than the originals!"
"Look closely! The Steel Demonic Soldier's metallic scales are softening! Even its previously robust muscles are now slack!"
"What?! No way! That's insane!"
As these words spread,
the Sacred Shield War God, the original owner of the Star-Moon Piercing Spear, couldn't help but show a complicated expression.
It was true.
The copied version of his weapon seemed superior to the original!
On the screen, the lone figure wielded the Star-Moon Piercing Spear and hurled it at the Steel Demonic Soldier.
With a sharp whoosh,
the spear streaked through the air, tracing a brilliant arc of starlight toward the relentless demonic soldier.
Confident in its armor and resistance,
the Steel Demonic Soldier didn't even try to dodge, barreling forward recklessly.
The result was...
Pshk!!
The Star-Moon Piercing Spear pierced through the Steel Demonic Soldier without any resistance!
The spear's defense-reducing effect activated immediately.
The monster's armor and magic resistance were reduced by 100%!
Additionally, its muscles completely slackened!
It was clear—this version of the Star-Moon Piercing Spear was superior to the original.
"Aaaah!!"
The Steel Demonic Soldier howled in agony as its defenses vanished, and its muscles lost all tension, collapsing it to the ground!
Just as it prepared to use its S-grade skill Iron Bastion to remove its debuffs,
Buzz!!
A black light enveloped its body!
A 15-second silence debuff appeared over its head!
"What the hell is that?!"
"Fifteen seconds of silence!"
"And it was instant-cast! Does this guy also have the 'Staffless Casting' talent?!"
"Look again! This silence also reduces all attributes!"
"The Steel Demonic Soldier is visibly aging right before our eyes!"
The crowd gasped in unison!
Even the Blue-Rank students from the Holy Knights showed shocked expressions.
The duration of the silence was unheard of!
Normally,
even silence skills imbued with Order's Bestowal lasted only 10 seconds.
And they often required a visible casting action.
Yet this guy casually cast a 15-second silence with just a wave of his hand!
It was outrageous!
The silenced, weakened Steel Demonic Soldier's fate was sealed.
The Star-Moon Piercing Spear transformed into a black halberd,
which Ling Zhan drove straight into the monster's head!
Even with its renowned defenses, the Steel Demonic Soldier's skull exploded, and its life ended instantly.
In under 10 seconds!
Despite the 50% attribute reduction, Ling Zhan soloed the Steel Demonic Soldier effortlessly.
Ridiculous!
Absurd!
You're telling me this man is a non-specialist!?
Are you kidding me?!
"Hmph! That's just the first floor! The monsters ahead are far trickier than this Steel Demonic Soldier!"
Brian scoffed, unable to hide his discomfort as he saw the crowd awestruck by Ling Zhan.
His sycophants quickly chimed in.
"Brian is absolutely right. He may be strong, but it's only the first floor! Making it to the fifth floor would already be miraculous!"
"Relax. He's bound to face difficulties soon. No doubt about it!"
"I bet he won't even have time to use his Return Scroll before he's killed…"
