…

In reality, Jiang Cheng was interested in its skills; if he could trigger the passive Resurrection and gain an Elite subordinate, that would be ideal.

He had only 832 points of Soul Power, not enough to use Resurrection actively.

Besides, there was the boss Blood Raven; better to save Resurrection for it.

“Let’s try Void Flash.”

Jiang Cheng didn’t command the Destroyer Archer to attack, but chose to go up and try it himself first.

“Whoosh!”

“Armor-Piercing Arrow!”

An arrow carrying corrosive power shot out from the mist.

The sound of it piercing the air arrived, and when the arrow made contact with the hidden gray light on Jiang Cheng’s body…

“Clang…” a faint sound, like glass shattering, rang next to his ear.

The gray light surrounding his body shattered.

Jiang Cheng’s eyes narrowed, a long-lost feeling welling up in his heart.

As the gray light neared disappearance, he took the opportunity to step back, stopping just outside the Elite Tomb-Guarding Archer’s attack range.

“Peng.”

The Armor-Piercing Arrow mysteriously vanished in front of him, causing no damage.

The silver shield negated the effect of the Armor-Piercing Arrow, not only causing no harm but also making it disappear completely.

However, there wasn’t much joy on Jiang Cheng’s blood-colored cheekbones.

“The movement speed is still too slow, without displacement skills, I can probably use it three times out of ten.”

“I need to recover to my peak state as soon as possible.”

His peak state.

Thirteen Swords in a second!

Twelve Spells in one cast!

Thirteen Shadows in one step!

Thirteen Swords in a second naturally meant an attack speed of thirteen sword strikes per second.

Twelve Spells in one cast referred to casting twelve types of spell skills in a single cast, a prerequisite for casting Dragon’s Descent.

As for Thirteen Shadows in one step, that was when movement speed reached around 0.05 seconds per step. Taking one step would, due to the extreme speed, produce thirteen afterimages.

For him now, let alone thirteen afterimages, it was difficult to even take one step per second without using Gale Step.

In the world of The Great Wasteland, when certain speeds reached their limit, there would be unimaginable effects. If the limit was broken, the resulting effects would be even more terrifying.

Whether it was attack speed, movement speed, thinking speed, or reaction speed, reaching the limit would manifest their respective powers.

And breaking the limit was even more terrifying. His Fourteen Divine Techniques were created based on these limits, establishing his eternal supreme position as the Great Demon King of the Ladder in the online gaming world.

Actually, up until now, those who could completely master his Fourteen Divine Techniques in the entire server could be counted on one hand, let alone surpass him.

“Take him down.”

Jiang Cheng gave the order to the Destroyer Archer.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Amidst the sounds of arrows clashing against arrows, Jiang Cheng weaved around the Elite Archer while blocking arrows for the Destroyer Archer.

“–1120!”

“–675!”

“–20.”

“–20.”

“The defense is too high, looks like my attack is a bit low.”

Seeing the damage numbers, Jiang Cheng furrowed his brow.

Although he had added 82 points of attack from Soul Power for a total attack power of 422, this Elite Archer’s defense was too high and its damage reduction was also high.

Even a 3.3x critical hit only dealt 1120 damage; it was time for him to evolve.

Or maybe by acquiring this Elite Archer, relying on its Armor-Piercing Arrow effect, the damage might be significantly higher.

“Peng!”

“–1170!”

With the final slash, the Elite Archer turned into a pile of dry bones. A few rays of light flashed on the ground.

[Congratulations on defeating Elite Tomb-Guarding Archer. Obtained 2500 EXP, 2500 Evolution Points, 200 Enhancement Points.]

[Resurrection trigger successful. You have gained a loyal servant.]

“Nice.” Jiang Cheng was slightly pleased.
