Chapter 169 An Easy Battle!
"So it still worked, but was its power weakened so much?"
Just as the two-headed dragon lunged to bite, Lin Yu flashed behind it, only then noticing the additional injuries on its body.
Previously, although he could sense the two-headed dragon's movements with his perception magic, he couldn't see what was happening on the dragon because of the steam everywhere. Now that he was closer, Lin Yu could see it clearly.
Besides the initial penetrating damage, the two-headed dragon had several more wounds, likely caused by subsequent artillery fire. However, these wounds were much shallower than the first one, barely breaking through its scales and only managing to breach its defenses.
With this level of magic damage reduction, it seems the only way to defeat the two-headed dragon is through melee combat!
"Gene lock, unlock! Thunder VIP, unlock!"
"Activate amplification skills, take out your weapon Dark Moon," Lin Yu prepared for close combat.
Just as Lin Yu was preparing to attack, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: would the "Hymn of Courage" skill take effect if he activated it now?
Lin Yu's magic attribute should already exceed that of a typical level 6, while the two-headed dragon is only a top-tier level 5. It can barely exert the combat power of a level 6 in an aquatic environment. Theoretically, "Hymn of Courage" should not take effect, but for some reason, Lin Yu feels that "Hymn of Courage" might take effect.
"Hymn of Courage, begin!"
Although he didn't know why he had this feeling, he figured it wouldn't hurt to try, so Lin Yu decisively activated the skill.
The moment the "Hymn of Courage" skill was activated, Lin Yu felt a tremendous power surge from his body, greatly enhancing all his attributes and significantly increasing his combat strength!
[What happened?]
Lin Yu was quite puzzled, wondering why this was happening. Even if his magic power wasn't as strong as he had expected, it shouldn't be much weaker than the two-headed dragon's. So even if the skill could take effect, the attribute bonus should be very low.
But now, Lin Yu feels that all his attributes have increased significantly, which means that according to the Grace System's judgment, his strength is far inferior to that of the two-headed dragon. But how is this possible?
Unless Lin Yu's previous judgment was wrong, "strength" does not refer to magic power.
If it doesn't refer to magic power, then it shouldn't refer to attributes like strength or agility either, because we've tested it before, so what exactly does strength refer to?
For a moment, Lin Yu was also completely baffled.
A deafening roar interrupted Lin Yu's thoughts. It turned out that the two-headed dragon had discovered that Lin Yu had run behind it and was roaring as it lunged at Lin Yu again.
"Let's deal with this guy first!"
Seeing the two-headed dragon lunging at him, Lin Yu used Flash again, this time landing directly on its head.
The next instant, a flash of lightning appeared, and the left head of the two-headed dragon fell off and crashed into the lake, creating a huge wave.
With the triple amplification skills, Lin Yu's speed and strength far exceeded his previous levels. Before the two-headed dragon could react, he sliced off one of its heads as easily as cutting tofu.
With one head severed, the two-headed dragon felt intense pain. Its remaining head let out a mournful roar, and then it began to wildly thrash its body, clearly having gone into a berserk state.
But for Lin Yu at this moment, the berserk two-headed dragon posed no threat whatsoever. Lin Yu easily dodged its flailing body, then jumped onto the other head and, with lightning speed, sliced off the remaining head as well.
When both heads were severed, the two-headed dragon's wildly thrashing body immediately came to a standstill, and the next second it turned into black mist and disappeared, leaving only a huge magic stone to fall.
Lin Yu flew over, caught the magic stone, and put it into his storage space. Thus, the 27th floor master, Anfispina, was officially defeated!
[Unexpectedly easy!]
After the battle ended, Lin Yu watched the steam slowly dissipate from the lake and sighed inwardly.
Lin Yu knew very well that although the battle was easy, it did not mean that Amphispina was weak.
In terms of strength, Amphispina is indeed not as good as Zagnat, but it is not much weaker. Although it cannot nullify Lin Yu's magic like Zagnat can, it can greatly weaken the power of magic, forcing Lin Yu to fight only in close combat.
Although Lin Yu has grown a lot since then and is no longer able to rely solely on his recovery ability to wear down his opponent, he still has to go through a high-intensity battle.
In reality, Lin Yu easily defeated Amphispina with two swift strikes.
The reason for this is naturally that the skill "Hymn of Courage" greatly boosted Lin Yu's melee ability, allowing it to jump directly from the initial Iv6 level to the advanced Iv6 level.
Anfispina only managed to reach the initial stage of Iv6 by relying on the terrain, so he naturally couldn't withstand more than a few moves from Lin Yu, who was at the advanced stage of Iv6.
However, at this moment, Lin Yu also understood why the "Hymn of Courage" skill could bring such a big boost.
It seems that the so-called "strength" refers to overall attributes rather than a single attribute. Lin Yu's magic power is indeed high, but his other attributes are indeed low. If all attributes are combined, he might only be at the Iv5 level. When facing Anfispina, whose strength is close to Iv6, he will naturally be greatly enhanced.
The skill "Hymn of Courage" had previously brought Lin Yu some disappointment, but now it has brought him great surprise.
This skill is no longer just a trump card; it can even be used as a regular skill for clearing monsters.
Currently, Lin Yu chooses high-level Iv4 monsters when fighting monsters, and occasionally encounters some low-level Iv5 monsters. This is the limit that Lin Yu's current strength can withstand.
Below the fourth rank, the difference in strength is not significant, and the sheer number of individuals cannot be ignored.
In the dungeon, monsters often appear in large groups. Even though Lin Yu is an Iv6 who cultivates both physical and magical abilities, he can only face groups of Iv4 monsters.
If there are hordes of Iv5s, Lin Yu will be in a lot of trouble.
In fact, Lin Yu had tried it before. Facing a group of Iv5s, he wasn't completely outmatched, but it was time-consuming and energy-draining, especially his stamina and mental strength, which were consumed very quickly, making the monster-killing speed very slow.
It's mainly a one-on-one battle. In a dungeon environment, it's too easy to get close to monsters. Once you're surrounded by them, you can't cast spells and can only fight in melee.
The monsters at level Iv5 are not easy to kill. After defeating a wave, you will be exhausted in both stamina and mind, and you will need to rest for a while. The efficiency is really too low.
Unlike Iv4, where the monsters are very fragile and a wave is easy to defeat, allowing for continuous battles for one or two hours.
Even though Iv5 monsters provide more experience, their ability point acquisition efficiency is still not as good as Iv4.
So after only a brief trial, Lin Yu went back to fight the Iv4 monsters.
However, now that he has the skill "Hymn of Courage", as long as there is a relatively strong monster in the monster group, Lin Yu's attributes can be greatly increased, so fighting a wave of Iv5 monsters may be much easier.
