Chapter 475 - Katyusha in the Ruins (2/2)

What was a Suicide Battle Technique?

This meant that the boss would use a powerful move every two seconds. This move would hit the player with the highest hatred level. It couldn’t be avoided, blocked, or freed from. Even the divine shield known by Holy Knights as “undefeatable” would be defeated in one hit.

Only a sea of Warriors could defeat Katyusha. They had to charge one by one to block her moves and tire her out with rounds of Warriors.

Link remembered that in the game, two guilds had teamed up to form a group of 1000 players. By the end, 857 had died, each from one hit. When Katyusha’s bloodline was below ten percent, her attack speed would increase by 200% and make a move every 0.6 seconds… It had been a total bloodbath.

Meeting Katyusha again in real life, Link discovered she wasn’t as powerful. In order to take care of the players, the game set the rule that Katyusha had to make a move every two seconds and hit the player with the highest hatred level. There was no such rule in the real world.

In real life, she might have other restrictions, but she would definitely be agile to the max. If she came at Link and he wasn’t ready, he would be dead meat.

Link thought for a few seconds and came up with a plan.

First, he waited for more than ten seconds. During that time, Katyusha looked side to side on the Dragonhawk. She didn’t find anything strange but still kept her guard up. A spear that shone like lightning appeared in her hands.

Seeing this, Link gulped reflexively.

He obviously recognized this spear. It was the Spear of Victory, a Legendary weapon only for Warriors. Of all the Legendary weapons that had appeared in the game, it was ranked fourth, above his Dragon King’s Fury sword.

After killing Katyusha, she would drop broken pieces of the sword. After collecting 20 pieces and completing some missions, he could find a dwarf blacksmith to make a low-level Legendary Glory Spear. After a dozen more missions, the last mission would be to trick the God of Destruction. Then he could quench the Glory Spear and create the Victory Spear.

The spear’s basic damage was already really high. It only had one effect but was perversely powerful and could be actively triggered. It was called the Thorn of Fate. Once triggered, the player’s next attack against a creature would increase 50 times or ten times against a player. It was unavoidable too.

Even more terrifying, the effect could be both long and short-range. When close enough, it could pierce an enemy directly. When further away, it could be thrown. Either way, it would hit its mark and was unstoppable.

In the game, Warriors were a very tragic career. They could only fight and charge brutishly. The other careers could play circles around them if they had even the slightest technical skill. A Magician especially could send a Warrior to thousands of feet up in the air and have them freefall.

But once a Warrior had the Spear of Victory, they would become an undefeatable hero. They could defeat anyone in seconds, and everyone would try to avoid them.

Of course, players who won the Spear of Victory in the game could be counted on one hand.

This was real life though. There was no difference between creatures and players. As soon as Link saw the Spear of Victory, he got rid of the idea to clash directly with Katyusha.

Fully guarded against Katyusha, Link crept towards the Dragonhawk. When he was around 2000 feet away, he stopped. He was now under the beast and in Katyusha’s blind spot. He could attack from here without worrying about Katyusha’s immediate reaction.

Taking a deep breath, Link took out the Dragon King’s Fury sword.

Despair Ball

A spatial sphere containing a black vortex appeared immediately. Link stabbed forward. Another Despair Ball appeared at the furthest place possible, and he activated another one. This way, the sword’s tip instantly crossed 2300 feet, arriving under the Dragonhawk’s belly.

The Dragonhawk was a god’s pet and was protected by divine power. Link’s Despair Ball couldn’t penetrate it, but this was enough.

The Dragon King’s Fury sword pushed against the scales on the Dragonhawk’s belly and stabbed forward. He activated Boundless Sharpness, and the scales were pierced. The sword buried in 12 inches deep, entering the Dragonhawk’s body.

“Void Destructor!”

The Red Dragon Queen had given him this spell. It worked well with Dragon Power. Its strength went without saying, and it was fast too. A dark purple fireball instantly appeared at the sword tip and then exploded.

Boom! Fire spewed out from the Dragonhawk’s belly. Flames spread deep inside it and burst out from other places. Seeing this, Link knew that it was game over for the Dragonhawk.

He didn’t stop for a second. Immediately activating the Dimensional Jump, he jumped, jumped, and jumped for up to three miles before starting to fly.

Link had put much thought into the direction he flew in. Rather than going towards the airship, he flew elsewhere, just in case.

He heard the Dragonhawk’s wail and the Agatha Naga’s surprised and angry roars. He turned and saw the Dragonhawk’s flaming body plummet. The Agatha Nagas on its back also fell.

Link saw Katyusha too. She stood on the Dragonhawk’s back and stared at Link. Her furious voice traveled over. “Link, don’t run!”

Then he saw the Naga priestess cast a mysterious spell on Katyusha. A pair of red wings, seemingly solid, sprouted behind her back. She flapped her wings and charged towards Link. She was only a bit slower than him.

Link was speechless. He wasn’t scared of getting caught, but now that he had someone on his tail, he wouldn’t be able to get to the Orida Fortress on time.

But then he thought, Divine spells have time limits. I just need to drag things out.
