The vast Despair Mountains instantly fell into silence.
The battle prompts echoing by his ear pulled Zhang Yue's thoughts back to reality.
At this time, Liyue, still connected to Zhang Yue on video call, stared through the screen at what had just happened. In that moment, she was completely dumbfounded.
["Heavens! What just happened just now?"]
["Forbidden… forbidden spell skill?"] Hearing Zhang Yue muttering to himself, Liyue was even more astonished, ["You mean one of those forbidden spells that can be counted on one hand in the whole world? Sister Zijin not only has the mythic treasure Wrath Source Stone, but also a forbidden spell skill??"]
She remembered. The effect of Thunder's Wrath was: when activated, it deals absolute damage to all enemies within range, ignoring defense, damage reduction, and resistance.
Its attack range and damage are calculated based on rage value. Every 1% rage equals 3 yards of attack distance and 20% absolute damage.
Each use of Thunder's Wrath clears all rage, dealing maximum damage.
From an outside perspective, it was impossible to know the exact rage value Chen Zijin had just now, but at the very least, it was no lower than 500%.
Even if calculated at 500% rage, that meant the skill's power could deal 10,000% absolute damage to all enemies within 1500 yards.
'10,000%! What kind of concept was that?'
That was 100 times attack power, and absolute damage.
To know, Zhang Yue's Death Lock, with his current 4th transfer strength, could only reach 1500%, that was just 15 times attack power.
And Death Lock was single-target.
While Thunder's Wrath was an ultra-wide-range group attack.
500 yards equals one mile.
A radius of 1500 yards meant the attack Chen Zijin just unleashed had a diameter of 6 miles.
Enough to cover the entire Despair Mountains.
Thus, with that one Thunder's Wrath, Chen Zijin had slaughtered the entire map, wiping out over three thousand bandits in one blow.
'Too terrifying!'
At that moment, Zhang Yue didn't even dare look directly at Chen Zijin.
Because right now, her eyes radiated endless fury.
As if at any second, she could teleport over and tear Zhang Yue to pieces.
One thing was certain: in Chen Zijin's current state, even if Zhang Yue built his Void Shield to its maximum value, he wouldn't be able to block even one strike from her.
Because while Thunder's Wrath consumed rage and cleared it all once cast, the Wrath Source Stone and Wrath God Set were not affected.
If Thunder's Wrath had accumulated 500% rage, that meant the Wrath Source Stone and Wrath God Set also must have accumulated 500% rage.
Both of these provided full-attribute boosts to their host based on rage value.
Every 1% rage gave 1% final all-attribute bonus.
Wrath Source Stone 500%, Wrath God Set 500%, together, that meant Chen Zijin had received 1000% final all-attribute bonus.
Meaning: Chen Zijin's current attribute strength was already 11 times her normal state.
In normal condition, she could already deal 4 billion damage output.
With an extra 10x boost, who could withstand that strike??
It was clear, Chen Zijin really wanted to cut down Zhang Yue.
But that remaining 1 HP bar floating above Zhang Yue's head already proved: Chen Zijin had held back.
Without the blood-lock protection, by now, Zhang Yue would already be spiraling 1080 degrees up to heaven.
Though a little scared, Zhang Yue's heart was also greatly comforted.
Because the stronger this effect was, the more it proved that the Wrath Source Stone, Wrath God Set, and Thunder's Wrath on Chen Zijin truly could unleash their maximum value.
Even what she had just displayed might not have been the best effect.
That is to say: her rage value could still keep rising.
After finishing the [Bandit Extermination] mission, they prepared to open the next mission.
Zhang Yue locked coordinates on the map and said to Chen Zijin, "We're heading to the next place, the Dark Nest. It's nearby."
As soon as the words fell—
Whoosh!
A cold wind swept past him. Lifting his head, Chen Zijin was already gone without a trace.
With 10x all-attribute boost, whether damage, defense, HP, or speed, compared to before, Chen Zijin had gone through a complete rebirth.
Even riding the Armageddon Black Dragon, Zhang Yue couldn't keep up with Chen Zijin.
When he arrived at the Dark Nest, he found that Chen Zijin had already started her slaughter.
From just now, after killing over three thousand bandits in the Despair Mountains, the mythic-class profession Shadow Dancer had triggered its exclusive effect. At this moment, countless shadows had materialized around Chen Zijin.
At her command, those shadows automatically sought out targets and pursued enemies.
The level-230 Dark Flamebirds filling the huge nest were all hunted down by the Shadow Dancer's shadows.
Since shadows inherited 100% of the Shadow Dancer's attributes, even if they could only perform basic attacks and not skills, their killing power was still terrifyingly fast.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Each strike, each basic attack, dealt 4–5 billion damage, quickly hacking down the 30-billion-HP flamebirds' health bars.
Zhang Yue hadn't even entered the battlefield yet, but his ears were already filled with nonstop battle kill prompts.
Because in a party with Chen Zijin, kill rewards were shared.
And mission progress was also shared.
Opening his mission panel, he saw the progress bar for [Slay Flamebirds] skyrocketing.
At that moment, Zhang Yue felt: with Chen Zijin alone, it was completely enough. He wasn't needed at all.
But then Zhang Yue realized: after over ten minutes without provoking Chen Zijin, her rage value seemed to be dropping.
It could be seen directly from the damage numbers.
The shadows' attack damage had gradually fallen from over 4 billion down to just over 3 billion.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue instantly understood: time to increase the taunts.
So, through the video connection, he said to Liyue, ["Liyue, continue output."]
As strategist, Liyue didn't hesitate, ["Alright!"]
Then, following Liyue, Zhang Yue again unleashed a storm of provocation…
Sure enough, under Zhang Yue's stimulation, Chen Zijin's rage rose again, and her shadow legion's damage started climbing back up.
Zhang Yue still didn't get a chance to act personally.
Within minutes, the entire Dark Nest map was cleared.
Almost all the flamebirds were wiped out.
'So strong!'
Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh, "This is just too strong!"
Unimaginable.
If Chen Zijin reached level 500, 9th transfer, and then unleashed this kind of power, she could probably one-shot the Ghost Swordsman Elfa.
Besides that, after every battle, Zhang Yue could feel a strong killing intent emanating from Chen Zijin.
["The eyes of someone who wants to cut a person can't be hidden,"] Liyue said through the screen to Zhang Yue, ["It's obvious. Sister Zijin really wants to kill you."]
