Chapter 293: This is the blessing of STG players!
[Demon King Dam (Black Pearl + Incomplete Root of the Demon): Leader Template. Demon King. HP = 1.5W + ? / 1.5W + ? (Triple HP), MP = 1.5W + ? / 1.5W + ? (Triple MP). Strength 50 + ?, Agility 49, Spirit 50 + ?, Charisma 50 + ?]
[Demon King Traits — Heavenly Body, Eye of Fact, Fact Barrier, Priest of the Heart (Sealed), Asura Battle Maniac, Merciless Rhapsody]
Facing the Vengeful Angel who was gathering power, Demon King Dam was the first to attack.
As the default head of the Six Priests, the patriarch of the Fact family, Yug Fact, could do many things, and Cain Fact, the main consciousness within Demon King Dam and Yug's own father, could naturally do them even better.
Moreover, after the frantic devouring like a gluttonous beast, Demon King Dam had already forcibly acquired the character traits of his subordinates.
The demonic heads with ice and fire attributes, originally summoned by Saba, now appeared six times out of thin air under Demon King Dam's control, and these six heads' attributes corresponded to the domains of the six collapsed floors of the Black Tower.
The Head of Weeping Sky with the power of wind, the Head of Water Prison with the power of water, the Head of Blazing Guilt with the power of fire, the Head of Silent Sand with the power of earth, the Head of Plague Blood with the power of blood, and the Head of Demon Core with the power of magic.
Six equally massive, ferocious-looking, head-shaped demons, suspended in the air alongside Demon King Dam, simultaneously opened their mouths towards Cheng Tian's location.
Wind blades, water cannons, fireballs, stone spears, blood spears, and magic bullets—six types of barrages immediately began their violent output.
Saba, the original owner of the trait, could summon multiple familiar spirits simultaneously, but she could only precisely control one at a time, unlike Demon King Dam, who was controlling the familiar spirits by simultaneously controlling six Eyes of Fact!
This also meant that the six head-shaped familiar spirits were not only six champion-level demonic units with independent health bars, but also Demon King Dam's multi-casting tools.
Overwhelming elemental barrages immediately "surged" towards Cheng Tian!
Compared to the massive Demon King, Cheng Mouren, who had no flesh on him, appeared very miniature and insignificant.
But even in the face of such a fierce onslaught, like a storm, Cheng Tian moved and weaved precisely through the dense elemental barrages like a nimble fish.
"I'm a hardcore player of Raiden, 1943, Gradius, Aero Fighters, Ikaruga, Shikoku Fighters, Sengoku Blade, Twin Cobra, Psikyo series, Mushihimesama series, and Touhou series!"
Cheng Mouren, who knew these games like the back of his hand, while narrowly flying past the dense elemental barrages in front of him, listed the numerous STG games he had played, all under the "terrified" gaze of the two goddess phantoms behind him.
Of course, there is a difference between a hardcore player and a true Game Expert, but at this moment, Cheng Tian seemed to have singled out those moments during his past gameplay where his state and feel were excellent, and directly applied them to the barrage in front of him.
It looked as if these barrages were about to hit Cheng Tian, but he always managed to dodge the attacks with the slightest, most effortless skeletal tremors, in moments that could only be calculated in "frames."
This was partly based on Cheng Tian's inherent "nerve-wracking" attribute; normally, he was an ordinary player, but once excited, he could occasionally trip up some world-ranked players. The other part was based on the current mutated and loaded "new" template.
[Detected Twin Moon Goddesses "Azure Moon Leia" and "Crimson Moon Fina," who have transplanted the core of power representing winged descendants, "Wings," onto your body through the "Sun and Moon Radiance" contract, and resonated with your currently used extra skill "Ghost Rider Transformation"—]
[You detected that under the blessing of the Twin Moon Goddesses, you have gained temporary access to the power source of the "Ys Origin" dungeon, "Black Pearl"—]
[Your skill effects have temporarily mutated.]
[Your currently overlaid "Ghost Rider Transformation" has temporarily changed to "Vengeful Angel Transformation."]
[Vengeful Angel: Unknown-grade unknown template, original blueprint is "Johnny Blaze," a special form created after fusing the power sources of the Twin Moon Goddesses.
When you load the "Vengeful Angel" template—
You will simultaneously acquire the template-exclusive armaments "Heavenly Armaments" and "Black Pearl."
You will simultaneously acquire the template-exclusive skills "Vengeful Holy Fire," "Crimson Moon Ritual," "Azure Moon Sequence," "Sun and Moon Radiance," and "Eye of Judgment."
Reloading this template will continue until the "Trinity" state ends.]
Rather than a template mutation, it was more like purifying and sublimating the Ghost Rider's power system, making it closer to the essence of an angel.
Vengeful Holy Fire, a skill product formed by integrating the skill features of "Hellfire Reshape" and "Hellfire Enchantment," and temporarily reversing the hellish power within them into heavenly power. In addition to being able to interfere with his own body, equipment, and items, inherent skills and equipment additional skills also became part of the scope that could be buffed. At the same time, the holy fire would cause different types of additional damage based on the status of the target marked by Cheng Tian.
Because it was a template based on the Ghost Rider, Cheng Tian's transformed body did not undergo a second reshaping. His power attribute temporarily increased to 40 points, equivalent to his spiritual attribute, while agility and charisma remained unchanged.
However, at this moment, Cheng Tian clearly displayed extraordinary high-agility reactions. His agility attribute had already reached the extreme value of 50 points. In contrast, Cheng Tian's charisma attribute had plummeted to 10 points. Not only that, his bare spiritual attribute also decreased by 16 points, and these 26 points of additional attributes were temporarily added to agility.
That is, 14 + 5 (Balford Twin Swords) + 5 (Pseudo Sun's Blessing) + 10 (original charisma allocation) + 16 (original spiritual allocation) = 50 points.
Just as Cheng Tian previously used a manual method to replace the material of the Hell Chain Flail with the Cleria metal inside the mechanical great serpent, the Holy Fire can also smelt out the free attribute points Cheng Tian has already used and reallocate them to other needed attributes. (@ A certain little square)
In other words, as long as Cheng Tian needs it, in his Vengeful Angel form, he can make any single attribute reach the extreme value of 50 points anytime, anywhere!
The pure white Vengeful Angel was rapidly approaching the pitch-black Demon King Dam at an astonishing speed, grazing bullets without taking damage.
And as Cheng Tian rapidly approached, the pervasive sunlight also seemed to tear through the darkness, beginning to cover the dark clouds and night in the direction of the Black Tower!
