Chapter 1443 – Advanced Combat Servant

After upgrading Heavenly Dragon’s Breath, not only did Heavenly Dragon’s Power increase s.h.i.+ Feng’s Strength, but it also increased his Agility.

s.h.i.+ Feng reached the h.e.l.l Knight almost instantly, brandis.h.i.+ng Abyssal Blade and Killing Ray as he executed Sword’s...o...b..t.

A galaxy of stars glittered around s.h.i.+ Feng, intertwining as they bombarded the Great Lord, which had just gotten back on its feet.

Although the h.e.l.l Knight’s combat standards were at the Half-step Refinement Realm, it was a child in s.h.i.+ Feng’s eyes. He easily grasped the monster’s blind spots and attack trajectories.

s.h.i.+ Feng could’ve easily dodged the h.e.l.l Knight’s attacks, but he had chosen to repulse them instead.

Now that he had activated Heavenly Dragon’s Power, his Strength was slightly higher than a Grand Lord’s of the same level. Hence, he was stronger than the h.e.l.l Knight. If he chose to dodge the incoming attacks, he would only reduce his opportunities to deal damage.

Boom… Boom… Boom…

One sword light after another clashed with the h.e.l.l Knight’s greatsword, the resulting impacts forcing the Great Lord back and preventing it from stabilizing its posture. After six consecutive attacks, the h.e.l.l Knight lost its grip on its weapon as the greatsword flew from the monster’s hands.

“Die!”

s.h.i.+ Feng activated Flame Burst, a blinding glow enveloping his blades. He a.s.saulted the defenseless h.e.l.l Knight with a series of devastating blows.

-164,878!

-331,478!

-332,015!

All 15 attacks found their marks, causing the Great Lord’s HP decrease at a tremendous rate. In an instant, the h.e.l.l Knight had lost 20% of its HP.

Meanwhile, Flame Burst’s terrifyingly destructive power sent the h.e.l.l Knight cras.h.i.+ng into the frozen, steel doors, and they shuddered upon impact.

Taking advantage of the h.e.l.l Knight’s incapacitated state, s.h.i.+ Feng hurriedly activated Lightning Edge.

He couldn’t normally use the attack in a high-speed battle due to Lightning Edge’s 0.5-second channeling time, but the injured h.e.l.l Knight had collapsed to the ground. He had more than enough time to activate the Skill.

Numerous silver sword lights danced before s.h.i.+ Feng, the forming a silver river that flowed towards the h.e.l.l Knight.

-244,678!

-243,167!

…

Lightning Edge’s powerful a.s.sault incapacitated the h.e.l.l Knight once more. The Great Lord was defenseless as the countless sword lights bit into its flesh. After five seconds, the h.e.l.l Knight only had two-thirds of its HP remaining.

Despite dealing two successful blows, s.h.i.+ Feng had no intentions on relaxing his offense. The moment Lightning Edge ended, s.h.i.+ Feng appeared before the h.e.l.l Knight and swung the Abyssal Blade down towards the Great Lord. However, the h.e.l.l Knight quickly responded. At a critical moment, it reclaimed its greatsword and used it as a s.h.i.+eld, blocking s.h.i.+ Feng’s blade. Unfortunately, while it had held off the Abyssal Blade, it couldn’t do anything about the nine sword shadows that had appeared around it.

Tier 2 Skill, Shadow Blade!

In the end, all nine shadows carved into the h.e.l.l Knight, devouring the Great Lord’s HP at a rate visible to the naked eye.

“He’s overwhelmed it?”

Surprise flashed in Countess Katie Green’s eyes as she watched s.h.i.+ Feng dominate her h.e.l.l Knight.

She had never thought that a mear Tier 2 player of the same level could surpa.s.s her Advanced Combat Servant. Not even she could’ve done so when she had been Tier 2.

Soloing a Great Lord of the same level was difficult for a Tier 2 cla.s.s. Great Lord’s HP was simply too high. These monsters’ battle recovery alone was enough to overwhelm a Tier 2 player.

However, Katie Green didn’t recognize s.h.i.+ Feng for the monster he was.

Despite only being a Tier 2 player, s.h.i.+ Feng wielded three Fragmented Legendary items. Although none of them were weapons, their overall effects were astonis.h.i.+ng.

Moreover, the h.e.l.l Knight wasn’t actually a Great Lord of the same level. After all, it only had 15,000,000 HP. An ordinary Level 57 Great Lord should have at least 40,000,000 HP. If not for the h.e.l.l Knight’s Strength and high combat standards, s.h.i.+ Feng could’ve easily defeated it without a Berserk Skill. Now that he had activated Heavenly Dragon’s Power, suppressing the h.e.l.l Knight was a piece of cake.

“Interesting. Truly interesting. He had held back so much of his strength.” Katie Green’s lips curled into a smile as she watched s.h.i.+ Feng shave off the h.e.l.l Knight’s HP. “However, I’m afraid that the unstable power of a Berserk Skill isn’t enough to defeat my h.e.l.l Knight.”

When the h.e.l.l Knight’s HP fell to 30%, it released a sudden and deafening roar. It’s silver armor shattered, causing such a powerful shockwave that even s.h.i.+ Feng had to step back.

As the silver armor fell away, it revealed the h.e.l.l Knight’s crimson skin. s.h.i.+ Feng also noticed dark-blue, divine runes all over the h.e.l.l Knight’s tough hide, radiating a daunting pressure. The green flames in the monster’s eyes also turned dark-blue, its chilling gaze causing s.h.i.+ Feng to shudder.

“It’s gone berserk?” s.h.i.+ Feng went on the defensive as he watched the Great Lord transform.

This monster was like a completely different being compared to the h.e.l.l Knight from a second ago.

“Berserk?” Katie Green smiled. Shaking her head, she said, “This is not some kind of Berserk Mode. It is merely liberating its power. I specifically make the creature wear the armor to suppress most of its power.”

Advanced Combat Servants weren’t like monsters and puppets. They fought their way to victory in the black market’s Death Arena.

Servants that won 20 consecutive matches in the arena became Basic Combat Servants, while those that won 50 consecutive matches were Intermediate Combat Servants. A Combat Servant would only rise to Advanced rank after winning 100 consecutive matches.

Hence, Combat Servants were generally stronger than beings of the same tier. Needless to say, a Tier 3 Advanced Combat Servant was extraordinarily powerful.

This was why the other Counts and Countesses in the Black Dragon Empire wanted their own Advanced Combat Servant. However, Advanced Combat Servants were incredibly expensive. Every one was a combat genius. Most n.o.bles couldn’t afford one.

They generally settled for a few Intermediate Combat Servants.

After the h.e.l.l Knight removed its armor, its Attributes underwent a qualitative transformation. Its rank had also increased from Great Lord to Grand Lord. Without the armor, the h.e.l.l Knight’s mobility increased as well. Now, its combat standards had reached the Refinement Realm.

“I wonder how long you’ll last against it?” Katie Green chuckled.

So far, s.h.i.+ Feng had displayed more strength than she had expected. He had earned 100 points in his evaluation just by forcing the h.e.l.l Knight to abandon its armor. However, this had only fed the Countess’s curiosity, and she wanted to see how far this player could go.

So, this is the test to obtain one of the Seven Treasures?

s.h.i.+ Feng could not help his bitter smile as he watched the h.e.l.l Knight slowly approach.

Having the power to solo a Grand Lord of the same level was ridiculous. Moreover, this Grand Lord’s combat standards were on par with Refinement Realm experts…

When the h.e.l.l Knight raised its greatsword, s.h.i.+ Feng took in a deep breath.

“Come!”

Shouting, s.h.i.+ Feng activated Tier 2 Blade Liberation, his Attributes skyrocketing once more. He then swung the Abyssal Blade to meet the incoming greatsword.

When the two weapons collided, sparks illuminated the dark hall. The resulting shockwave sent dust and debris into the air.

“What?” The Countess’s mouth twitched when s.h.i.+ Feng blocked the h.e.l.l Knight’s attack. “He was still holding back?”

After the clash, the h.e.l.l Knight was forced to take five steps backward. In contrast, s.h.i.+ Feng hadn’t moved an inch. He then dashed at the Grand Lord.

Although s.h.i.+ Feng’s Strength wasn’t as high as Mythic monster’s of the same level after activating Twofold Berserk, he wasn’t far from it. The h.e.l.l Knight, which was only a Grand Lord, was no match for him.

Without using any Skills, s.h.i.+ Feng effortlessly broke through the h.e.l.l Knight’s defenses with only Sword’s...o...b..t. As slash after slash split the h.e.l.l Knight’s iron-like skin, the monster’s HP plummeted.

When only 1% of the h.e.l.l Knight’s HP remained, a golden light enveloped the monster. The h.e.l.l Knight transformed into a stream of blue smoke that flowed back into the Magic Scroll in Katie Green’s hands.

System: Congratulations! You have completed Katie Green’s second test.
