Fatal Shot

“Dong!”

Feng Luo crashed into the metallic wall on the side of the tunnel as fresh blood trailed from the side of his lip after he spat out blood.

Three layers of defense were broken consecutively; over 5,000 damage was inflicted on him, and his internal organs also suffered damage from the vibrations which caused him to spit out blood.

The attack from the kick was, without a doubt, frightening. However, Feng Luo was not at all surprised by the result.

The rare skill Death Sense would only activate when the incoming attack was capable of killing him instantly. Meaning that if he did not implement the emergency defensive measures prior to getting kicked on his back, the damage Feng Luo would have received would have exceeded his maximum HP.

What was Feng Luo’s maximum HP?

His HP was already over 10,000. In addition to that, he also had the Symbiotic bonus from the Commander Grade Life Protozoa, totalling up to more than 11,000. His physical defense was not inferior to a decently equipped Light Armor Warrior. Even with this, he would have been instantly killed by that kick.

To be able to instantly kill a Light Armor Warrior… Naturally, the person who initiated the attack could only be one person.

Feng Luo saw the face of the owner of the leg when he was struck by the kick. It was from the powerful legs of a Caucasian woman wearing a pair of black punching gloves with silver spikes, who had a cold smirk on her face. However, at that moment, she looked surprised.

Clearly, she did not expect Feng Luo’s quick reaction and ability to withstand her powerful attack. In her mind, Feng Luo was an adventurer with inferior ability. Even if he had awakened the Force, he should not have been able to block an attack from her.

“As expected, there really is a Boss. Good thing I did not let my guard down.” Although Feng Luo was bleeding internally and spitting out blood, he was still feeling fortunate.

Feng Luo was constantly on guard with regard to the possibility of the existence of the “Boss at the end of the level.”

Even during the battle against the bearded Heavy Armor Warrior, he used part of his attention to maintaining vigilance. That was why he could still react promptly to the kick just now.

It was especially true in terms of the “Blood Armor” that he had yet to name. It could be considered a trump card that he was prepared to use at any time.

The Symbiotic skill that needed both the Life Protozoa and the Force had incredible defense. Feng Luo experimented with it in a previous battle. It could even block the Forager’s powerful tongue that could be compared to sniper bullets at close range. If it were purely its physical defense coefficient, the “Blood Armor” should be comparable to alloy armor with at least a B-Grade coefficient.

However, the skill’s weakness was that the defense stat of the blood armor was decided by the maximum HP of the Life Protozoa.

If the Life Protozoa were Level 50 right now, the skill would, without a doubt, be overpowered. It would be the equivalent of Feng Luo equipping a piece of armor with a defense coefficient of B-Grade that could withstand five-digit damage attacks. He might have been even be able to completely block the kick just now.

However, he only obtained the Life Protozoa the day before. And although the Life Protozoa had increased levels in the morning, it was still only Level 13 at the moment. It could only withstand around 1,300 damage.

The good thing was that the defense coefficient of this “armor” was so good, that in reality, it had blocked around 4,000 damage, making it so the kick did not reduce more than half of Feng Luo’s HP.

(Note: Over 10,000 damage was inflicted on Feng Luo’s back. If the intended target had a D+ grade defense coefficient, the damage would be over 10,000. If the attack landed on armor with B-Grade defense coefficient, the damage would be below 5,000.)

If it were another player who had awakened the Beginner Level Force, as long as the player did not have Defensive Force, the end result would probably have been an instant kill.

The woman had frightening attack power. Her equipped items showed that she had a warrior-type profession, and the kick just now was accompanied by the special attack effects of the Force. That was why Feng Luo, who had the body of a player, spat out blood after being injured from the attack.

“Huh, you’re actually still alive… I’ve underestimated you, adventurer.” After Feng Luo was pushed several meters backward, the Caucasian woman did not continue to further attack Feng Luo. Instead, she turned around and looked at Aida, who had just got rid of the elite Heavy Armor Warrior from Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group with two large revolvers in her hands.

“I never thought that so many experts would be attracted to one simple little girl! I sure am curious. What type of organization can send a group like you over here? The Federation Government? Polar organizations?” When she turned around, the ground beneath her metallic battle boots sunk deeper. It definitely looked like it was going against the laws of physics.

“Strength Type Force, huh?” Aida looked interested for a moment. However, she did not fire her guns immediately. Instead, she stared at the woman and asked Feng Luo, “How are you doing? I think I heard your bone crack.”

“I’m alright, I can still hold on.” Feng Luo stood up slowly with his back on the wall while he smiled painfully.

Blood trailed the corner of his lips while his chest heaved heavily. Both of Feng Luo’s arms were also twisted at an unnatural angle.

Feng Luo now understood that the appearance of the high-level stat, the Force, might widen the gap between players even greater than talents could.

The Force was not separated into four grades like talent. However, they were different in the fact that Force Types were suitable for different professions.

The Caucasian woman had Strength Type Force, and it was definitely the Force Type that suited the warrior profession most.

Compared to her Force, Feng Luo’s Force seemed a lot weaker when it came to melee combat.

“+500, +500…”

When Feng Luo stood up, his broken arms under his combat uniform were already gradually returning to normal, and green recovery numbers also continued to appear above his head.

“Recovery Type Force… An annoying type that’s like nougat.” The white Caucasian woman’s gaze was focused on Aida. However, at the same time, she was also paying attention to Feng Luo, and after she saw Feng Luo’s condition, she muttered coldly.

As for the serious-looking Phoenix and Onishi, she did not even throw them a glance.

“Save… Save me!” Among the elite players from Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, the only Earth Manipulator left alive, who was being pursued by Phoenix after she cut through his energy shield with one slash, was running towards the woman wretchedly.

He looked hopeful, after all, he did not want to die and lose his level, nor did he want to drop any of his gears.

“Useless scum! Scram!” Before the Earth Manipulator could get close, the Caucasian woman smiled coldly and, using the back of her hand, slapped in the direction of the Earth Manipulator.

“Boom!”

“-3768!”

The distance between the Earth Manipulator and the woman was at least five or six meters. The Earth Manipulator seemed to have been slapped straight in the face by the Caucasian woman.

His entire body lifted from the ground from the slap before slamming heavily on the wall of the tunnel. His head bled from the crash and a damage number over 3,000 also appeared above his head.

Even if one were a warrior, after awakening the Force, one would also possess long-range attack methods.
