The First Evolution

Of course, everything had pros and cons.

The disadvantage of Rondo was that although he had strong explosive power, he relied on skills to deal damage. Take poison attack as an example, its formula was fixed damage+(Agility*2), then it would inflict negative status. Its cooldown was 2 minutes, and it also consumed a lot of MP.

Therefore, after using a series of explosive skills, Rondo’s ability to continue fighting was really weak.

What? You mean normal attack?

For normal attacks to deal high damage, high strength value was absolutely indispensable.

The melee high-damage weapons suitable for warriors and assassins, without exception, also require a high strength value as an equipment prerequisite.

Of course, in the early stage, Rondo could still use grenades and firearms to make up for the damage.

But in the mid stage, firearms with high attack power often had requirements for the level of basic shooting.

So in a sense, this drawback could only be solved by relying on a melee weapon with strong attack power, and this weapon had a low demand for strength value equipment.

Of course, this kind of weapon should probably be very rare, and the price must be very touching.

***

“Bang!” A muffled sound came.

Rondo was stunned to find that his confident stab missed and stabbed directly on the bed.

The white and fluffy duvet was cut wide, and the white flocs inside suddenly leaked out.

The key was that he clearly aimed at the opponent’s heart.

At this time, Rondo was still in disbelief. He turned his wrist and drew a green light arc forward. This move was call [Blood Surge]. It didn’t have fixed damage and would cause damage (Agility*2).

It had an explanation: If the target was in a poisoned state at this time, then the [Blood Surge] would inevitably crit!

If the target was in a normal state at this time, [Blood Surge] would poison him.

Facing Rondo’s move, the target finally moved, but the arc of the movement was far less than Rondo’s prediction, so Rondo was 100% sure that this would hit.

But the cruel reality was that his attack missed again. At this time, Rondo finally had a feeling that the other party was like a fish in the water. The target was right before him, but if he wanted to hit him, he had to predict the target’s movement. Otherwise, he would be deceived by his eyes again.

Realizing this, Rondo immediately screamed and covered his face with his right hand; he had already pulled out a grenade in his left hand and exploded!

In the midst of the loud noise and the sound of firelight, Rondo was blown away and injured, but he was also relieved to see that the other party was also a little disgraced by the explosion. Blood bled from his nose.

Before the blood dropped to the ground, there was a very obvious and strange angle of deflection. After realizing this, Rondo immediately realized that the other party had some kind of optical deception, which made his eyes unreliable.

He sneered and pounced forward; his right hand was holding a dagger and left hand holding a grenade.

Obviously, facing an opponent with a mere 6 point stamina, Rondo thought it was fine to trade HP all the time.

According to his own experience of fighting against the mage class, he just needed to be like a mad dog, chasing the mage all the time. The opponent would naturally be in a hurry and couldn’t release half of his skills, and he would eventually die under his hand.

Of course, Rondo was also very clear that such a one-sided condition would appear was probably because he was facing the contestant mage. These people hadn’t adapted to fighting yet, and their life saving skills and items weren’t complete too.

Once the mage got stronger in the future and once the mage obtained key ability, this situation could obviously be improved.

However, let’s leave these in the future. Although Rondo missed 2 hits in a row, he felt that he had successfully found a way to break the stalemate. He still firmly believed that the winner of this battle must be him!

But what Rondo did not expect was that when he rushed toward this guy named Wrench, the other party actually rushed over too! Rondo was a little shocked because he couldn’t understand why a poor guy with 6 stamina wanted to engage a close range battle with him.

So Rondo simply raised the dagger and stabbed it into the seemingly empty space beside.

But the dagger miraculously landed on the opponent’s shoulder.

The damage of this dagger was reduced by 50% in PVP, so the damage was not high, but there was a sense of ecstasy in Rondo’s heart.

Because the dagger was smeared with paralyzing toxin, it could greatly reduce the movement speed of the enemy, and it could cause slight damage to the enemy.

If Rondo wanted to deal huge damage, the enemy must be in a poisoned state.

This good news immediately let Rondo burst into a stronger fighting spirit. He started to fight with the dagger, and he successfully gained the upper hand with his skilled experience! After the opponent resisted for a few seconds, he could even clearly feel the panic of the enemy.

Such good news made Lando more confident to end the battle within 3 minutes, then he could rush to the party to continue a romantic high seas trip with that Ms. Casadella – Although Ms. Casadella was not an excellent female companion.

But just when Langdu stabbed the enemy’s stomach with the dagger, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He hurriedly turned around in shock.

It turned out that the wardrobe door behind had been opened, and there was actually a blue-black metallic [Machine Gun Turret] hidden inside. Its muzzle was puffing green smoke. Clearly, it gave him a shot from behind.

Not only that, Rondo’s body shook abruptly. He was stunned for a moment. He had suffered a second damage.

“Damn, explosive bullets! This guy actually has such a trump card?”

After being shot, Rondo, as a guy with deep scheming, immediately realized something very important,

“Could it be that the opponent came prepared?”

With this thought for a lifetime, Rondo immediately felt a chill on his back. He drew a strange green cross in the air with the dagger, casting his strongest skill,

“[Reverse Cross Kill]!”

If the enemy was poisoned, the [Reverse Cross Kill] would cause a huge amount of damage to it, and it would have a powerful stun effect.

The stun effect lasted up to 3 seconds.

At this time, Rondo already knew that he had no way out, so he simply used his killing move. For Fang Linyan, it was also a big gamble!

***

To be honest, the situation at this time was completely unexpected by Fang Linyan,

He didn’t expect the enemy to be so keen at all. After attacking him only twice, he figured out the refraction index and mastered the way to successfully attack him.

In addition, this dangerous face-to-face melee fight also made Fang Linyan feel very uncomfortable — the enemy’s sharp dagger with a strange ice blade gave him an eerie feeling when cutting through his skin.

Not only that, but the pain was accompanied by an unprecedented numbness.

The 2 men rolled onto the bed and panted heavily. Their hot breath could even spray on each other’s faces. At the same time, all their body parts such as hands, elbows, knees, foreheads, etc., could be used to cause damage to the enemy!

This was an extremely dangerous close combat! A mistake or distraction is likely to cause the throat to be cut open and the poisonous dagger piece into the eye!

The 2 fought consecutively in a short period of time. It was the kind of suffocating battle that danced on the edge of the blade. One carelessness could cause eternal death!

At this time, Fang Linyan actually had 2 emotions, “dazed” and “panic” that should not have appeared at this time. He quickly realized that he was somewhat frustrated knowing that he was defeated.

But there was a gleam in his eyes,

Yes, I lost in melee combat, but I didn’t lose!

“FIRE!” Fang Linyan silently gave the order to fire in his mind, then he activated [The Blessing of Athena] while changing the title of Professor.

At this moment, although Fang Linyan’s own HP dropped sharply to less than 10, his mana upper limit was as high as 270 points. The enemy had to break through this layer of shield before he could damage him.

At this time, in Rondo’s eyes, the opponent who was about to mourn and die under his [Reverse Cross Kill], then his body burst into light. There was vaguely a palm tree vision behind him. Immediately afterward, a translucent shield appeared around him!

This shield seemed to be fragile. It looked just like a soap bubble, but there was a layer of mysterious blood flowing continuously!

Then Rondo’s [Reverse Cross Kill] struck mercilessly on this layer of translucent blood-colored shield.

“What! This damage… how can it be so low!!”

In the next second, Rondo was taken aback by the damage he did. He couldn’t believe his eyes at all.

“Impossible!! There must be something wrong.”

Rondo shouted out almost frantically.

In order to accumulate close combat experience, he usually even practiced with a guy with a shield in the team who mainly focused on the defense role.
