Just how terrifying is Sam in her Complete Combustion state?
Put it this way: Sam’s current Strength is 280 points, but the attack multiplier of her enhanced combat skills under Complete Combustion is 480%.
In other words, a single skill of hers deals 1,624 points of damage.
This already falls within the power range of the Inner Guard Level.
Moreover, Complete Combustion brings a 100% speed boost to Sam.
Her 300 points of Agility have doubled again, now reaching 600 points, which has long since reached the Inner Guard Level.
The only flaw in this form is just one thing.
[Complete Combustion state activated.
entropy loss value value permanently increased by 10 points, incurable.]
Firefly’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but curse.
This form required a ten-minute warm-up to activate, and after it was over, it would permanently increase her entropy loss value by 10 points?
This was too much of a scam!
It was simply garbage.
However, Firefly didn’t dare waste time.
This form could only last for five minutes; she had to resolve the enemy as quickly as possible.
The Molten Core Domain had disappeared after the Complete Combustion.
All the power was now contained within the Sam Armor.
This knightly armor was now as good as new, without a single trace of damage visible.
“Death Star Overload!”
The pale green, firefly-like wings on Sam’s back vibrated.
The tall knightly armor vanished in an instant.
Before the Barbarian Hero could lock onto her position, a dense barrage of slashes swept over.
The Barbarian Hero had no time to react at all.
In almost the blink of an eye, hundreds, thousands of sword marks appeared on its massive body.
Puchi!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, forming small puddles on the floor.
The Barbarian Hero moved its body with great effort, swinging its spiked club with all its might!
Clang!
Even though its current speed was inferior to Sam’s, it still managed to accurately intercept one of Sam’s slashes by some sort of instinct.
The light sword collided with the spiked club and was knocked away, but Sam’s second, third, and ninety-ninth strikes quickly swept in for the kill.
Even as a hero-level Martial Artist, the Barbarian Hero’s physical body could not withstand such a horrific onslaught.
Its thick green skin was quickly torn apart, revealing the white bones beneath the flesh.
Even so, the Barbarian Hero only faced Sam with calm composure, without letting out a single wail.
“Roar!” It let out a long howl toward the sky, seemingly activating another skill.
[Gluck has used ‘Fury of the Trapped Beast’ on you.
Your Attack Power is increased by 10%, and your Speed is decreased by 50%.]
With this, Gluck could finally keep up with Sam’s movements, but Sam did not continue to confront it.
Instead, she vibrated her wings again, and her figure appeared a short distance away.
The Barbarian Hero was puzzled by her behavior, but at that moment, it discovered that all the wounds on its body were flickering with a faint, fluorescent green light, like lines of light.
Then, these lights flickered even more intensely.
The Barbarian Hero’s pupils shrank, but before it could make any response, these light trails suddenly erupted into a fluorescent green fire.
It was even hotter than the crimson flames, and the pain was almost bone-deep.
The Barbarian Hero roared, wanting to push through the flames to attack Sam, but its body clearly could not support such an action.
Its flesh was scorched inch by inch, its proud muscles were shrinking, and its leg bones had already broken, making it unable to move.
The Barbarian Hero could only watch helplessly as it gradually died.
It reached out a hand, wanting to crawl to Sam’s side, but at this moment, Sam only lowered her head slightly.
The fluorescent green light beneath her visor seemed to turn a bit warmer in color.
Then, she swung down her light sword.
Shiro had already slipped away quietly when the Barbarian Hero fell.
She didn’t dare stay here to deal with such a ferocious knight.
It was better to go back and find that big-breasted stupid woman; if she encountered danger, she could still trick the other party into covering her retreat.
“Dammit!
What a piece of trash!
He couldn’t even handle a small fry who barely reached the Inner Guard Level.” Shiro kicked a pebble on the road, grumbling.
Then she began to ponder again: “But where did that armor come from?
It could actually make a grunt-level small fry possess the strength of an Inner Guard Level small fry.
If it could be mass-produced, wouldn’t our Soul Sect be able to dominate the continent?”
Unfortunately, she couldn’t beat that knight right now.
…
After the Complete Combustion state was deactivated, Firefly was nearly exhausted.
She couldn’t even maintain her normal Sam state and directly exited her transformation.
The girl slumped onto the ground, gasping for breath.
At that moment, she saw the Barbarian Hero’s corpse being burned to ashes, leaving behind only three items.
Even though her body was exhausted, seeing loot made Firefly’s spirits lift.
She hurriedly stood up and crouched by the Barbarian Hero’s ashes.
The three items were: a beating heart, that massive spiked club, and a deep black high-carbon steel dagger.
Firefly appraised these items one by one.
[Heart of the Barbarian (Hero Level): The Heart of the Barbarian Hero Gluck, containing all of its essence.
Can be used for the ‘Barbarian Hero’ class change, or used to craft items or perform rituals.]
Below it was a rare line of evaluation: “He once wanted to be a great painter, but in the end, by a twist of fate, he became the most valiant warrior in the tribe.”
Seeing this, Firefly suddenly remembered that she had a specialty called “Mechanical Heart,” the effect of which was to fuse Sam with special materials.
She wondered if this heart fit the definition of a special material?
Anyway, it was a good item.
She put it away first.
Firefly then looked at the spiked club.
[Ancestral Mace (Hero Level): A weapon that the Barbarian Hero Gluck received from his father, passed down from his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.
When the wearer’s class is Barbarian, Strength +250 points, Max HP increases by 15%, and comes with the skill ‘Ancestral Power’.]
Special evaluation: “Did you think you were the only one who could use the power of bonds?”
Firefly couldn’t help but let out a wail.
What she hated most in games were these class-restricted, or even individual-exclusive equipment!
Getting it but being unable to use it, what kind of situation was this?
But on second thought, Firefly realized she had the Heart of the Barbarian, so she could consider the promising subclass of Barbarian.
After all, Barbarian Hero was not the final advancement of the Barbarian class; above it was the “Barbarian King,” which was a Royal Court-level subclass!
Unfortunately, this subclass path consumed too much of the total level cap.
There were several stages from Barbarian to Barbarian King, and Barbarian Hero even had a cap of level 20.
After all that, it would take up a full 40 levels of the total level cap.
Firefly still preferred a subclass like “Champion Knight” that was at its peak right from the start.
Firefly put the spiked club into her system inventory.
Although she couldn’t use it, Barbarian was a mainstream class for beastmen.
Even if she sold this spiked club for money, it could be exchanged for a considerable amount of wealth.
Finally, there was only one weapon left.
Firefly rubbed her hands together like a fly, hoping that the remaining weapon would be a more versatile piece of equipment.
