Who would find it hardest to accept the current scene?
Naturally, it was Ba Meng, the person involved.
He never dreamed that the War Lord's Trample would be withstood by a non-specialist using only physical strength!
After a brief moment of shock.
It was replaced by an uncontrollable surge of shame and anger!
Even his blood pressure shot up significantly!
Humiliation!
Such humiliation!
I, a dignified Level 60 second-tier Mechanical Commander, and a member of the special squad on the Devil's Den frontline, can't even crush a mere non-specialist!!
If this were to reach the ears of my comrades on the Devil's Den frontline, they would laugh at me like crazy!
Thinking of this.
A strong killing intent finally flashed across Ba Meng's face!
The War Lord on the side seemed to sense its master's anger, and thick white steam poured out from its entire body, indicating it had entered a high-load operation state!
The mechanical light blade in its hand emitted a dazzling sword glow, and the long-range laser cannon was also frantically gathering light particles.
Just as Ba Meng was about to make the War Lord lift its mechanical support leg and use the long-range laser cannon to blast this non-specialist into pieces.
"Wow!!"
A sudden wave of noise erupted from the audience!
The reason was...
Ling Zhan, single-handedly holding up the War Lord's arm, suddenly emitted a technological blue light!
At the same time, an extremely mysterious mechanical force fluctuation transmitted from Ling Zhan's arm into the War Lord's body!
The next second...
The War Lord's giant mechanical leg, which was stepping on Ling Zhan's head, began to emit a buzzing sound!
At the same time, the entire mechanical leg radiated a layer of highly heated red light!
Countless steam poured out from the mechanical leg, and the components between the legs started to show signs of disintegration at this moment!
This scene made it seem as if the entire mechanical leg had entered a state of overload malfunction!
Exactly!
It's 'Overloaded Operation'!
[Overloaded Operation (B): A primary buff enhancement skill for the Mechanic class, which can put the user and allied summoned or assembled mechanical units into a high overload state, unlocking their full potential for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the mechanical unit enters a shutdown state; this skill can also affect enemy summoned or assembled mechanical units, potentially causing them to instantly paralyze.]
Note: If there is a significant gap between the user's and the enemy's attributes and combat power, it cannot affect the enemy's summoned units.
Under the amplification of the 'Almighty' talent, not only are the attributes enhanced, but a new mechanism is also granted!
Originally, 'Overloaded Operation' could only be used on the user's mechanical units, but now it can affect allies' and even enemies' mechanical units!
This instantly turns this buff skill into a divine skill that can be used for both support and offense!
As mentioned before.
Every class has a primary buff skill.
The characteristic of this primary buff skill is 'comes with a certain cost.'
For example...
The Berserker's 'Blood Sacrifice' (originally Blood Sacrifice).
The Mage's 'Elemental Boil.'
And so on.
Generally speaking.
These primary buff skills are only used as transitional skills.
After all, the negative cost is too high, and no one likes to use them.
Moreover...
After the second tier, all classes will acquire new passive and buff skills.
So, very few strong individuals continue to use primary buff skills after reaching the second or third tier.
However.
The primary buff skills that others discard like worn-out shoes, Ling Zhan picks up like precious pearls!
Of course...
Due to the large size of the War Lord and its assembly consisting of tens of thousands of parts.
Additionally, Ba Meng quickly noticed the abnormal state of the War Lord's mechanical leg!
Without any hesitation, he directly used an advanced skill that only a Mechanical Commander can learn!
'Rapid Repair'!
Group skill!
As the name suggests, this skill allows a Mechanical Commander to rapidly repair any damaged mechanical units!
Buzz!!
The mechanical leg parts, which were about to shatter due to overloaded operation, began to rapidly repair themselves!
This directly limited the spread of Ling Zhan's 'Overloaded Operation'!
"Damn it!!"
"This non-specialist's 'Overloaded Operation' can actually affect my War Lord!"
"What the hell is going on!"
Ba Meng cursed inwardly while quickly applying the 'Rapid Repair' skill to the War Lord.
However...
What shocked him even more was that the opponent was still continuously releasing 'Overloaded Operation'!
The cooldown time for all primary buff skills of any class is 300 seconds.
But due to the combined talents of 'Mana Master' and 'Magic Resonance,' Ling Zhan's cooldown reduction had reached 90%!
The duration of 'Overloaded Operation' is 30 seconds!
This means that every time the effect of 'Overloaded Operation' ends, he can immediately reapply the skill!
This forced Ba Meng to focus all his energy on repairing the War Lord!
Now.
He could only make two choices!
The first choice was to humiliatingly order the War Lord to destroy one of its own legs.
The second choice was to compete with this non-specialist on who had the deeper mana pool.
Personally, he leaned more towards the second choice!
It's well known that the maximum mana of every tiered professional increases with their level.
He didn't believe that a Level 27 non-specialist could surpass him in terms of mana depth!
He believed that Ling Zhan would exhaust his mana after using 'Overloaded Operation' one more time!
However.
It can only be said that Ba Meng was still too naive.
Or rather...
He was already stuck in a mental dead end.
Under normal circumstances, his thinking would indeed be correct.
But unfortunately...
How could Ling Zhan choose such a foolish way to fight!
Anyone who understands Ling Zhan would know that he is someone who demands perfection in battle details!
For this kind of stupid method of simply comparing mana pools, Ling Zhan would really scoff at it!
So...
Wow!!
Amidst the shocked gasps of all the spectators!
Ling Zhan, standing on the ground, used his other free hand to form a ninja hand seal!
Bang bang bang!!
In that instant.
Five 'Ling Zhan' appeared on the arena!
'Shadow Clone Technique'!
[Shadow Clone Technique (B): A primary ninja skill, consuming mana to create clones, up to ten clones can be created, each clone possessing 70% of the main body's attributes, and all clones can use skills.]
Note: When the clones use skills, they also consume the main body's mana.
After this skill was enhanced.
Not only did it increase the number of clones that can be created, retaining more of the main body's attributes, but it also granted each clone the ability to use skills!
At this moment.
The five 'Ling Zhan' directly supported the giant mechanical leg with both hands.
Buzz!!
The five 'Ling Zhan' began to orderly release 'Overloaded Operation'!
As for the real Ling Zhan...
Whoosh!!
His figure had already disappeared from the original spot.
Without any hesitation, the spectators instinctively shifted their gaze to Ba Meng, who was standing on the War Lord's shoulder!
Sure enough!
A slender figure silently emerged from the shadow pool, appearing behind the fully focused Ba Meng who was repairing the War Lord!
A familiar, exquisite dusk dagger was fiercely stabbing towards Ba Meng's head!
It's here!
The familiar 'Backstab' again!!
