Broken stood tall, with Polly alert and ready by his side. The player killers seemed quite interested in Polly, especially given her unexpectedly larger form.
“Look at that, the Spirit Beast seems fascinating. I want it,” one of them said.
“Isn’t there a way to take a Spirit Beast from another player? It’s such a shame for a beast like that to be in the hands of a fool like him,” another added.
“I bet it has a good grade, maybe Elite, or at best, Epic grade,” speculated a third.
“Hey, Broken… tell us how to get a Spirit Beast like that. Maybe if you tell us, we’ll consider letting you go,” another taunted.
Broken knew they had no intention of letting him go. Even though they wouldn’t gain much from killing him, they enjoyed the thrill of player killing, which they considered their form of entertainment in the game.
[Booba: Broken, are you okay? I see your Health is decreasing. What happened to you? Did you get attacked?]
Broken quickly replied.
[Broken: Six players suddenly attacked.]
[Booba: Damn, wait for me. Don’t die yet… hold on… I’ll be there in a few minutes.]
However, Booba had been gone for about 10 minutes, so it would take some time for him to return. Broken quickly devised a strategy to handle the six attackers. It would be very challenging; he might manage to take on one of them, but not all six at once.
An idea sparked in his mind. He would ask Polly to lure the players away using her Clone Skills, diverting their attention while he focused on taking them out one by one.
Broken gripped his sword tightly and braced himself for the impending clash of blades. “Polly, draw their attention away from me. I’ll engage one of them, but be sure to isolate the weakest one.”
“Yes, Master,” Polly replied, growling menacingly.
“It seems this fool is ready to face some punishment,” one of the attackers sneered.
In an instant, Polly split into five identical copies, each growling fiercely and darting in different directions.
“Chase the foxes, leave this idiot to me,” the greatsword-wielding man ordered. The five other player killers immediately turned and pursued Polly’s clones.
With his opponents momentarily distracted, Broken saw his chance. He focused on the greatsword man, the one who had stayed behind. The greatsword man swung his weapon in a wide arc, but Broken was quicker. He dodged to the side, his movements fluid and precise, purely driven by reflex. Despite his agility, Broken knew he was outmatched in stats compared to the greatsword man.
With a swift counterattack, Broken aimed for the weak points in his opponent’s armor.
[Multiple cutting edges (Active Skill)]
The greatsword man staggered, clearly surprised by Broken’s newfound speed and strength. Broken immediately retreated, maintaining his distance, aware that his skill had barely impacted the man.
“You’re not bad at all for someone of your level. But I can tell you’re definitely not above level 30,” the man with the greatsword mocked.
Broken understood that he was significantly outmatched in terms of total stats. Even his sword skill had minimal impact on the man. This was a battle he couldn’t win; the difference in their power was too great.
He could see Polly employing a similar strategy, trying to keep her clones from getting hit. Her clones inherited only 30% of her total Health, making them easy to eliminate if struck. Polly and her clones moved swiftly, dodging every attack aimed at them, effectively stalling for time.
The greatsword man sneered at Broken. “I’m going to kill you slowly. I’ll make sure you remember my game name and turn it into your worst nightmare,” he said.
The greatsword man charged again, swinging his weapon at Broken. Broken kept running, dodging each attack with precise timing, fully utilizing his limited movement speed and skills to evade the strikes. freewebnovel.cσ๓
[Self Transcendence Blessing Activation Progress: 91%]
He was curious about the effects of the Self Transcendence Blessing, noting how quickly the progress bar was filling. He wondered if the rapid progress meant he could continuously benefit from the blessing in a short period.
The blessing’s activation didn’t necessarily have to wait until 100%, but as the progress increased, so did the chances of it triggering. This time, Broken desperately hoped the blessing would give him the edge he needed to turn the situation around.
The greatsword man’s frustration grew as his attacks failed to connect. “Stop running, you coward!” he shouted, his patience wearing thin.
Broken continued to dodge, and each movement was calculated to buy more time. Polly’s clones were doing their best to distract the other players, but it was clear they wouldn’t hold out much longer.
As the greatsword man swung again, Broken’s focus sharpened. He ducked under the blade and rolled to the side, rising swiftly to his feet.
“Polly, keep it up!” he shouted, encouraging his spirit beast. Polly growled in response, redoubling her efforts to evade the attacks of the player killers.
Broken’s heart pounded in his chest. He had to hold on just a little longer and hope Booba would come for a backup.
[Self Transcendence Blessing Activated]
Suddenly, the notification Broken had been hoping for finally appeared before him. This was exactly the moment he needed. The blessing was activated even before the progress reached 100%.
[Self Transcendence has initiated an unexpected interaction with the Class owned by the Player.]
[Analyzing the overall abilities of the Player.]
[The Player exhibits compatibility with various types of weapons.]
[Upgrading the Class to a more versatile one.]
[Searching for a suitable Class for the Player.]
[A compatible Class has been found, adjusted to the overall condition of the Player.]
[The Warrior Class will be replaced with a new Class.]
[Congratulations, Self Transcendence has successfully broken through the limitations of the Player, and he has been bestowed with a new Class.]
[The new Unique Class, Super Novice, has been unlocked.]
Broken felt an overwhelming joy as he saw the effects of the blessing. It had replaced his Warrior Class with something new, but this new class had far greater potential.
Novice was the class that all players began with when they first started Immortal Legacy. In this class, they had the freedom to use various types of weapons. They also possessed melee, ranged, magic, and healing skills simultaneously. With this kind of class, players were given the freedom to choose and determine their path for the future.
But the Novice Class he received now was something far more special: a Super Novice Class.
“Now, let me see the skills I got from this class,” Broken whispered with enthusiasm.
Opening his status menu, Broken quickly navigated to the skills section.
