The instant reduction in damage value is intended to balance this.
If No One focuses damage on an enemy without armor or shield, the total damage compared to another DPS like the Sword of Love will certainly be lesser.
But if it's an enemy with high defense stats and thick shields, the Blade Dancer class will definitely deal much higher damage.
A character class against tanks.
No One began further testing.
Suddenly, another message appeared.
The sender was Rosa.
The message came with an item.
✧[Rosa: Seeing that you have successfully apprenticed under Heavenly Demon In Black, here is the introductory skill book of the Blade Dancer. I hope you honor this world with your sword and blade. ]✧
✧[Attached item: Novice Skillbook for Blade Dancer. ]✧
No One clicked to accept without hesitation. A flurry of skills immediately appeared.
✧[Dance That Melts The Heart]✧

Six skills. Quite a lot.
Dance Composition is similar to Song Composition of the Bard.
It also opens a mini-game, but instead of pressing notes like in OSU, it's dancing like in Just Dance.
Master of Melody is similar to a Musician's skill. It bypasses the music mini-game without needing the Musical Cube.
To be honest, No One is quite lazy with that mini-game. So he spent money crafting a huge amount of Musical Cubes to use in battles.
The trouble is, one cube is cheap, but in large quantities, it becomes very expensive. Every time he goes on a dungeon raid, hundreds of them get used up.With the poor Bard career, No One found his funds almost depleted.
Sometimes, the rewards from dungeon raids barely covered the cost of crafting Musical Cubes.
Having the Master of Melody reduces a significant amount of money spent.
No One simultaneously opened the forums to check the information.
A few others have also gone through job changes and just posted their skill lists.
They also have these six skills, along with an additional skill called [This Dance Honors the World]
It's missing a line compared to No One's skills: [This Dance Honors the World, These Eyes Gaze Upon You Alone.]
The skill effect also lacks the ability to see through the world's mistakes with your eyes.
It seems this is a skill exclusive to those who become the Disciple of the Heavenly Demon In Black.
The players on the forum have titles like "Newbie of the Society In Black" and "Member of the Society In Black."
Not "Disciple of the Heavenly Demon In Black."
However, understanding how this game works, it seems that other players might still be able to rise to become Disciples of the Heavenly Demon In Black if they do things correctly.
The mantra for this game, according to the publishing director, is "all beings are equal."
Unless you play the gacha and draw cards and such.
So every class is open to everyone; there is no concept of unique classes or unique skills that only one player can have.
If you can do exactly what another player has done, you will achieve exactly the same results.
The difference in rewards, perhaps, lies in skill and effort.
Of course, unless you play the gacha and draw cards and the like.
This slightly important point is emphasized twice.
It's a game, and the publisher, the developers, have to make a living too.
Hence, the game also features a gacha system to draw cards, enticing players to spend money.
The most popular features in this game are the two card-drawing mechanisms.
First one are draw a costume card.
Each period, a costume gacha event will be held.
The best reward is a costume with special effects.
For example, when the Sword Cultivator swings his sword energy, wearing the "Wudang True Dragon" outfit will cause the sword energy to cut out dragon clouds.
Wearing the "Beggar Sect Divine Dragon" outfit and using a staff skill will have the effect of a dragon descending.
Another hot type of card drawing is the pet card draw.
Pets mainly follow their owner and do not have combat support power.
Only specific classes can bring pets into battle. However, truly strong battle creatures are usually captured from monsters, not from gacha pets.
No One is fairly happy now. After reading the news, he directly opened the card draw interface.
He very rarely opens this interface.
By doing daily activities for at least 5 days a week, he receives one free card draw.
No One still has about 50 unused draws.
Today, his mood is quite cheerful. He obtained a decent class.
He's considering finding a costume.
The class outfit given by the Heavenly Demon In Black...
Hmm...
Is also "beautiful."Following the design of the Xiyu Dancer, but for men, it's a bit revealing.
A little lacking in material is fine; men showing abs are quite common.
But this outfit is a bit over the top.
It has...
Nipple rings.
Each nipple has a chain running from the nipple downwards.
No One cannot bring himself to try on this outfit.
The Heavenly Demon In Black... really has quite an exotic taste.
The outfit he's wearing currently basically looks like a starter's mix-and-match gear.
So, he decides to look for one on the shop.
There are two types of costume card draws in the game.
General costumes and class outfits.
Class outfits can only be worn by the corresponding class, and only show up for players with the exact matching class.
General costumes can be worn by any class.
And of course, in a money-maker like this, the game has various maid and nurse outfits.
The class outfit in the Blade Dancer draw is the "Xiyu Dancer."
Still... quite revealing.
It's still bare-chested on top, covered with layers of silk to hide a bit, but a lot of flesh is still exposed.also have rings on the lips and ears.
At least there are no nipple rings.
No nipple rings is good enough!
No One thought to himself as he spins the wheel.
10 cards...
8 blue accessories, 1 blue costume, 1 gift exchange ticket.
10 more cards!
5 gift exchange tickets, 3 blue accessories, 1 purple accessory.
10 cards!
10 cards!
another 10 cards!
By the last 10 cards, the only non-blue item No One received was a lion dance head, a purple head accessory.
All those accumulated cards are now gone.
No One helplessly looked at the remaining draw, which were now at 0.
Damn it.
He actually put on the lion head just to ease his frustration.
But frustrated even more and throw it to the ground.
Then logged off the game.
What a scam!
