MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 531 - : Unexpected Friendship
Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Unexpected Friendship
As Mark was being overwhelmed by Li Yao, his black bear king was not faring well either.
Despite wanting to assist its master several times, the spider tank did not allow it any such opportunity.
Whenever it moved slightly away, the spider tank would attack it with its ancient God Eye beams and auxiliary artillery. Even with the Earth Armor, it could not withstand the attacks of the defense mode spider tank.
Battling face-to-face gave it a chance to dodge, but being backfaced to the spider tank was akin to a death sentence.
The spider tank was like a fortress. Although its health and defenses were much weaker compared to the black bear king with the Earth Armor, it still had the upper hand.
Also, the black bear king was intelligent, knowing if it fell, its master would stand no chance. The only thing it could do now was to hold on as long as possible.
“Damn it, what kind of monster are you?” Mark was on the verge of madness, he kept getting knocked down no matter how hard he struggled. His opponent did not move an inch, making him feel humiliated.
“It’s because you’re weak.” Li Yao responded. Naturally, he was speaking the truth. Even among intermediate leaders, there was a huge disparity in power.
The levels of difficulty were different because of the different skills they had mastered, like the first boss leader.
He was average in power, but because of his control of the power of nightmare, he became extremely difficult to kill although his ranking remained the same.
If Li Yao had to face that boss leader, he would have been crushed. But this Mark was not weak in terms of his power and qualifications, as he had mastered the bloodline connection.
However, his bloodline wasn’t completely evolved, and the black bear king only possessed a shred of the bloodline, resulting in a less dramatic improvement.
With Li Yao mastering techniques that combined knockdowns and skill-breaking, along with a strength bonus, Mark’s ordeal was inevitable.
I don’t accept this.” When his health was down to one-fifth, a glint of madness flashed across his eyes.
As he spoke, some earth-colored and green intertwined runes appeared on his body.
“It’s dual-attribute divine power!” the centaurs watching the fight exclaimed.
Only the most talented centaurs could awaken the divine power in their bodies. This was a manifestation of their ancestral bloodline.
Because centaurs are the offspring of Half-God of nature and the princess of the earth, superior centaurs could usually awaken the divine power of one of the Half-Gods.
Of course, this awakening meant they could use some special abilities, such as control of skills or healing or defense, unique to each individual.
The Split Hoof Tribe normally had only one person who could awaken divine power in each generation, and this would become the Khan.
But this generation saw the emergence of two, the other being the Young Khan, who had an even more powerful bloodline. Naturally, this made Mark very resentful.
A transparent motte enveloped him, then slowly seeped into his body. Li Yao was unfazed by this.
He knew that in the future, Mark would become a formidable npc. Although not as strong as the Young Khan, he would stand out among the centaurs.
His awakening of the bloodline wasn’t surprising. Li Yao had a deep understanding of bloodline power, which was important for players’ advancement.
Seeing the runes and rays, Li Yao stopped attacking and distanced himself from Mark.
At the same time, Li Yao no longer attacked Mark’s legs, instead, he started targeting Mark’s vulnerable neck.
“Damn it, how do you know the effects of my bloodline power?” Mark kept getting shot, but could not touch Li Yao.
“It’s just a body domination, what’s so impressive about it? No, it should also have a healing effect. Very interesting bloodline effect.” As he spoke, Li Yao continued to aim Charged Arrows at Mark’s neck.
Every hit made him step back, making it nearly impossible for him to approach Li Yao.
The dominance effect gave him some resistance to being knocked down and the control of skills like sleep, dizziness, and unconsciousness.
Of course, the dominance effect could not counter the strength attribute, Li Yao could still use the Charged Arrow with a knockdown effect to make him retreat momentarily.
Combined with Li Yao’s Shadow Roll and backward movement, as well as the agility provided by his wings, Mark could only yell in frustration.
After all, his bloodline power wasn’t unlimited and depended on his bloodline energy level to determine its duration. Although he had a healing effect, it could only repair some wounds, stop bleeding, and resist curses and poisoning. The actual healing effect was negligible.
As for picking up the bow and arrow again, it was a joke. He was proficient in archery, but unable to dodge Li Yao’s arrows. Using a bow and arrow in this fight would only lead to a quicker death.
The centaurs in the trial ground were dumbfounded. They initially thought Mark would counterattack when his bloodline power was activated. However, he ended up in the same beaten state, leaving them in shock.
Three minutes later, the moment Mark’s dominance effect wore off, he fell again. That marked the end of any suspense in the fight.
In fact, the defense increase brought by the dominance effect was quite significant. Otherwise, he would have died much earlier.
“Stop fighting, I surrender.” At the end, Mark called back his black bear king. “You’re very strong, I am nothing compared to you. I admit defeat.”
“You’re too kind. You are not weak, you’re just at a disadvantage in single combat.”
Li Yao also immediately ceased his attacks, took a polite bow, and flew to the top of the trial ground on his wings.
Mark gave a bitter smile. He was best at single combat, and Li Yao still had two powerful pets that didn’t join the battle. A spider tank was already this formidable, so the multi-headed snake, which didn’t join the fight, must be even stronger. He stood no chance no matter how he fought.
He rushed forward, bowed to the crowd, and said: “I was too arrogant before. When I was defeated by the Young Khan, he once said that we, the Split Hoof, are just a small corner in the world, and there are many strong people out there. I didn’t believe it at the time, but now I see that the Young Khan was right. Our contention is just a conflict of spirit. After all, we are all members of the Split Hoof tribe. Young Khan, elders, I am going back to train and improve. For the Split Hoof!”
“For the Split Hoof!”
The Young Khan and the others also bowed seriously in return, while the older centaurs showed smiles of absolute satisfaction. Two divine awakeners of this generation had reconciled. Once they matured, they would certainly lead the Split Hoof to glory.
“Thank you, Brother, you’re indeed our tribe’s blessing.” The Young Khan instantly sensed the change in the elders’ attitudes. Regardless of whether or not Li Yao had planned this, he had done him a great favor.
Li Yao dismissed his gratitude: “I am more interested in the specifics of the reward.”…
