Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 40: Fortunately, there is something (1)
Since Wu Ma is called "Scorpio Junior Destruction Knight", its new mount is naturally called Scorpio. Compared with the previous bone armor dragon horse, the most outstanding thing about Scorpio is its movement and speed. Although its body is not shorter than that of the Horror Dragon Knight, its flying speed and agility are obviously better. When it is stationary or in low-speed flight, it can rush forward, retreat, or move left or right without turning around. It can do it easily without any signs. It can also suddenly turn sideways during high-speed straight flight. This kind of flexible flying method is far beyond the reach of ordinary flying creatures. Even Tao Tao and Qi Te Lei, who are similar in strength to it, are slightly inferior to it in this respect. The reason why Wu Ma was able to successfully survive the "Triple Thunder Tribulation" is really due to Scorpio. For the Destruction Knights who are the "public enemy of the undead", if they want to better survive and develop in the "Dead Space", the knight as the thinking subject is certainly important, but the mount under the crotch should never be ignored. They can obtain a more suitable mount through evolution, so that man and mount can become one and complement each other. When facing those overly powerful undead creatures chasing them, they will be more confident of escaping.
Scorpio's attack power has also been greatly enhanced. The retractable hooked scorpion tail can swing out as far as ten meters. The skill is called "Shadowless Whip", which means that the scorpion tail is suddenly swung out, and the attack speed is extremely fast, as if it is invisible and invisible, making it difficult for the opponent to defend. The main function is to entangle the enemy's body and disrupt its actions. Weaker ones like the terrifying ground dragon knight can be thrown out directly, and the hook at the end of the tail will pierce the target's body, with a certain paralysis effect, which can prevent the opponent from resisting. It also has the function of rapid "regeneration". Even if the entangled enemy is too strong and the scorpion tail is broken by the opponent's force, it only needs to consume 10% of Scorpio's own mental power to quickly grow it again in just one minute. Of course, in terms of defense, the Scorpio is definitely much stronger than the previous Ankylosaur. The two large claws waving in front of its head can not only be used as powerful weapons to "sandwich" the enemy, but also are at least three times harder than other parts of the body. They can also be used as a "shield". Separately, they are two small sides, which can be connected together to form a large side, which can effectively resist attacks from the front.
Moreover, unlike the normal Undead Knight, although Wu Ma and Scorpio are also two relatively independent individuals whose own consumption and damage are calculated separately, they have a passive ability called "Life Sharing", which can be activated automatically in the dangerous situation when either party's mental power is less than 10%, sharing each other's mental power, and connecting two independent individuals into a whole. The person rides and the rider dies, and they protect and depend on each other and never betray each other . In the camp of the Knight of Destruction, there is absolutely no "acquired knight".
Wu Ma's own abilities have of course been greatly enhanced. As I have seen, the "Destruction Field" as the de facto inherent skill of the Destruction Knight has naturally been retained, and the range of action has been expanded from three meters before the evolution to ten meters now. In the layer of faint black aura surrounding the body, except for me as the master, any other creatures entering will be affected to varying degrees according to their respective strengths, reducing a certain amount of attack power, defense power and agility, up to 10%, and then decreasing in this way. Those who are two levels or more stronger than Wu Ma will not be affected at all, and the effect is zero. At the same time, the long-range attack skills used on enemies outside the range of the "Destruction Field" also have the same weakening effect, which can further reduce the damage suffered by themselves. Wu Ma once used it to assist in resisting the second "Thunder Tribulation".
Also retained is the "devouring" skill, which can absorb the dissipated souls of the undead creatures killed by one's own hands at a faster speed, which has the effect of healing injuries and enhancing strength, and can even absorb while fighting, becoming more efficient. In addition, an "energy conversion" ability has been added. In addition to the inherent dark attribute of the Destruction Knight itself, it can also absorb and transform the energy of other attributes of the killed target and store it in the body. Although it will not be of any use for a while - it can neither enhance its own strength nor promote growth, but if it can accumulate enough before the next evolution, it can use this energy for its own use during the evolution process. After completing the evolution again, the form will have new attributes and transform into an undead creature with composite attributes. However, only one heterogeneous attribute can be selected for storage and conversion, and the stronger the target's strength, the more obvious the effect of "energy conversion" will be. At least the level cannot be lower than oneself, otherwise it will not be able to absorb and store the attribute energy of the other party.
The original "Bloodthirsty Attack" and "Assault" skills have been abandoned. The former requires sacrificing half of the defense and is too easy to be hurt. It is obviously a "useless" skill that is not conducive to the survival of the Destruction Knight in a fierce battle. The latter has limited power and is not effective against strong enemies. It cannot match the Destruction Knight's status as the "Public Enemy of the Undead". Instead, two new powerful skills are replaced: the common skill "Bloody Battle in All Directions" and the desperate skill "Desperate Struggle"
"Blood Battle in All Directions" skill - slash out eight axes at a very fast speed, which can attack different targets in different directions, or focus on one opponent. The attack speed is increased by two times, the attack power is increased by one time, and the accuracy is not affected at all. It consumes very little mental and physical energy, and there is no attack stagnation or preparation time. It can be performed continuously without stopping when needed.
"Burn the Boats" skill - Wu Ma can only activate it when his physical strength is less than 40% and his mental strength is less than 25%. He only retains 5% of his mental strength and physical strength, and the rest of his mental strength and physical strength are all concentrated in one axe. He launches a full-strength attack at close range, and his attack speed is increased by three times and his attack power is increased by five times. At the moment when Wu Ma launches a desperate attack, his mount Scorpio will only retain 5% of his mental strength and physical strength, and the rest will be transformed into a thick "green smoke" that is highly toxic. It can not only hurt the enemy, but also block the enemy. While continuously emitting "toxic smoke", it turns around and flies away at a speed that is twice the usual speed to escape the enemy's pursuit. It can last up to fifteen minutes. However, after performing "Burn the Boats", Wu Ma and Scorpio will be seriously injured and need to find a place to rest and fall into a deep sleep. It will take at least twelve hours to recover their ability to move and come back to heal their injuries and recover through "devouring". It can only be used when the situation is critical and you have no choice, and it can protect yourself to the greatest extent.
I am very happy about Wu Ma's successful evolution, but it also brings new troubles - using the "devouring" skill to absorb the soul energy of other undead creatures. If the opponent's level is too low, it can only be used to heal injuries and restore status. It is not very helpful for accumulating strength and enhancing strength. The target's strength can only be one level lower than Wu Ma, otherwise the effectiveness will be greatly reduced. For example, the level of the main "devouring" target before the evolution, the Horror Earth Dragon Knight, was already too low. Even if the soul energy of hundreds of Horror Earth Dragon Knights was absorbed, it would not be as effective as an eighth-level lower-level Horror Flying Dragon Knight. It’s just that the Horror Dragon Knights are relatively scattered and difficult to capture, and I urgently need to subdue them to expand my power and realize the "strategic transformation" of my undead troops. It’s impossible to provide them to Wu Ma, this "greedy" guy, as "supplements", but I’m also worried about letting Wu Ma "forage for food and hunt" on his own. For a moment, I couldn’t find any undead species suitable for Wu Ma to devour, so I could only let it continue to "fill its hunger" with the Horror Ground Dragon Knights. Although it doesn’t have much "nutrition", it’s better than nothing and can be of some help.
The main reason is that the "World Heroes Conference" is about to be held, and the action to challenge the big devil has been almost . It has only been delayed until now due to the horseless evolution. It can't be delayed any longer. Both I and other players participating in the action need time to prepare for the upcoming individual and team battles. If we don't do it now, I'm afraid we will have to wait until after the conference to take action.
