Chapter 87 The Tragedy of the Rotten Wood Treant
-325004! -325004! -325004! ......
A terrifying series of damage numbers spewed out from the head of the pierced treant!
The 50% spell penetration effect renders the already pitiful spell defense of these level 20 normal monsters practically useless, resulting in almost full burst damage!
With an intelligence attribute of 9039 points, a skill bonus of 1800%, and the 100% skill effect enhancement brought by the [Dominator] class, the pure star spell damage of this strike reached a terrifying 300,000!
More importantly, this is area-of-effect damage along a straight path! With a single strike, all targets along the line suffer devastating damage simultaneously!
"This power... is not bad." Lin Tian looked at the straight passage cleared in front of him and the charred mess at the end of the passage, his eyes gleaming.
With the buff from the class's passive ability, the cooldown time is only 7.5 seconds, which means it can be used frequently and become a new regular damage dealer.
Celia watched from the side, her beautiful eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape. She instinctively covered her mouth, exclaiming, "Brother Tian... your new skill... is too overpowered!"
She knew Lin Tian was strong, but the power of this casual strike had already exceeded her understanding of the strength of players at this stage.
Lin Tian smiled but did not answer.
Feeling the still surging magical power within him and the skill cooldown that had almost instantly returned, he turned his gaze to the more rotten tree people in the distance who had been alarmed and were staggering towards him.
Perfect timing, let's give the current clearing efficiency a full test.
【Universal Guidance】!
He raised his hand again, this time injecting 5% of his maximum mana.
hum!
Centered on him, an invisible gravitational field with a wide coverage area was instantly formed. The terrifying attraction pulled a large number of rotten wood tree people in the surrounding area. They struggled, but were unable to resist being pulled towards the center. Then they were completely submerged by the violent tearing and crushing energy in the field!
-902890! -902890! -902890! ......
A dense array of massive damage numbers erupted like a fountain! Hundreds of rotten tree spirits within the area were instantly wiped out of health, turning into streaks of white experience points.
In just a second or two, the monster in front of Lin Tian vanished, leaving only scattered debris and lingering energy ripples.
[Ding! Killed a level 20 Rotten Treant, gained 250 experience points!]
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 1 'Enhancement Points'!]
[Ding! Killed a level 20 Rotten Treant, gained 250 experience points!]
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 1 'Enhancement Points'!]
......
System notification sounds started flooding the screen.
Meanwhile, the [Power of Domination] continuously increased with each kill: +3, +4, +3, +5...
Lin Tian glanced at the experience bar. The experience points required to go from level 15 to level 16 were as high as several million, but the ridiculously efficient clearing speed still made the experience bar visibly move forward a little bit.
"The efficiency is indeed astonishing," he nodded to himself.
【Universal Pull】's massive area-of-effect group kill, combined with 【Star Ray】's straight-line piercing clear, and its extremely short cooldown, makes his sustained damage output reach a terrifying level.
But then he remembered that Celia was still level 0, so he immediately opened the pet panel and adjusted the experience distribution ratio to 1:9—he would only take 10%, and the remaining 90% would be distributed to Celia.
Lin Tian's growth doesn't rely too much on levels, so this allocation allows Celia to grow as quickly as possible.
This way, Celia can fight monsters alone.
"Celia, stick close to me, I'll help you level up quickly today," Lin Tian said.
Celia's eyes lit up, and a surprised smile bloomed on her face. She quickly nodded and followed, "Yes, thank you, Brother Tian!" She knew very well that with such a master, her growth rate would be unimaginable.
The subsequent monster-hunting process turned into an efficient but monotonous massacre.
Lin Tian didn't even need to move much; he simply kept using [Universal Pull] and [Star Ray]. Occasionally, a few stragglers would get close, only to be instantly killed with a [Arcane Missile] or [Fireball].
With the passive effect of the [Starry Sky Mystic] class, the cooldown time of all skills is reduced by 50%!
This means he can use these powerful skills in an almost infinite loop, and his mana will always remain above the healthy level thanks to the terrifying recovery from both [Star Source] and [Star Radiance Flow].
One after another, the rotten tree people turned to ashes under the power of the stars and the roar of the flames, and waves of white light of experience surged into Celia's body like a tide.
Celia's experience bar was rising at a visible speed.
0级到1级...1级到2级...3级...4级......
Less than an hour later, accompanied by a flash of light indicating an upgrade, Celia's level jumped to level 10!
Lin Tian's experience bar only moved less than one-fifth of its full potential with the help of gaining only 10% of the experience – the amount of experience required after level 15 is indeed astronomical.
All I can say is that leveling up in the battle for supremacy across all realms is incredibly difficult.
However, Lin Tian soon discovered a problem: with his scrambling-like monster-clearing efficiency, the monster respawn rate in the surrounding area was clearly not keeping up. Often, after clearing an area, it would take quite a long time for new monsters to respawn.
"It seems that after obtaining the Dominator class, killing monsters grants Dominator power, and with the addition of upgrade points, the rules of this area have been affected, causing a serious delay in the monster respawn rate."
Lin Tian seemed to be deep in thought. Although he was only getting a normal kill, the Overlord's traits still seemed to be suppressing the monster spawn rate in this area.
"We'll have to change the map," Lin Tian said helplessly.
Efficiency is paramount; he can't afford to waste time waiting here for the page to refresh.
He led Celia deeper into the Corrupted Forest.
The deeper one goes, the taller and denser the trees become, the dimmer the light, and the stronger the stench of decay and dark energy permeates the air.
The level of the monsters encountered gradually increases.
From a level 20 Corrupted Treant,
The level 22 Corrosive Giant Ant, its carapace gleaming with an ominous glow,
Then there's the level 25 Shadow Panther, swift as the wind and stealthy in the shadows...
But no matter what kind of monster it is, or how much its level has increased, its fate is the same in the face of Lin Tian's skills with completely extraordinary attribute enhancements—it appears and is instantly killed.
