No One was stunned.
He still hadn't fully recovered from what just happened.
It felt like a dream.
Animation canceling? Did AI truly know how to do it?
Could technology be this powerful?
The NPC called animation canceling "Destroy the Principles"?
So basically, all this time when I've been animation canceling, it wasn't a bug.
It's a feature?
He hadn't fully processed it yet.
The Heavenly Demon In Black smiled and patted No One's head.
"Patient disciple, learn slowly."
The Heavenly Demon In Black once again disappeared into thin air.
.
.
.
After a long while, No One remained standing still in the great hall, staring blankly into the void.
A message appeared, bringing him back to reality.
Ting
「Lady Lam: Me, TwinBird, Hana, Cherished Dream.」
「Lady Lam: Tomorrow's team.」
「Lady Lam: All four will engage directly. Don't be late for a single second.」
「No 11: Got it.」Turn off chat.
This starting lineup vaguely hints at what Lady Lam intends to do.
Previously, the lineup for dungeon raids was similar, but No One replaced Hana.
This is a "Pioneer" setup, minus two people.
They included two Priests to ensure the team doesn't perish too quickly. There is both ranged physical and magical damage.
It's used to test the effectiveness of different types of damage against the boss.
No One began reviewing information on new Class skills.
This information will be invaluable, especially if this dungeon requires the unique abilities of a specific Class.
At the same time, he started to briefly explain his new Class to the team to give them a better understanding.
Sword of Love was also explaining his Class skills, but in his usual laid-back manner.
"I slash with my sword like swoosh, then it deals massive damage, seriously."
...
The other two members in the guild each have distinctive Class traits.
Cherished Dream's Onmyoji can summon creatures while also setting up high-level barriers for protection, increasing damage or controlling enemies.
Cherished Dream's strongest skill currently is [Path of The Star Transformation]
An overpowered skill. It maximizes a chosen stat to the limit for one teammate.
Moreover, after the duration of Star Transformation ends, the Onmyoji can chant to choose between stunning all enemies within the skill's range or restoring all teammates' skills cooldown, except for some special skills.This is to prevent the Onmyoji from restoring overly powerful skills like [Indestructible Spirit], which grants the Berserker five seconds of invincibility.
The Falconer Class of TwinBird is part of the reason why the initial lineup includes her.
The Falconer has a hawk companion assisting them. It has the ability to fight alongside the warrior and scout the map.
The Eagle Warrior is a Class that deals very high single-target physical damage, especially with the ability to crit.
The weapon has also changed from a bow to a crossbow.
Sword of Love recently lost his top DPS position on the team to TwinBird for this very reason.
It's rumored that after last night's DPS comparison with TwinBird, he was quite sulky and resolved to train combos all night long.
If Lady Lam hadn't forced him to sleep to regain his strength, he might have actually done it.
Hana's Musician Class is currently overpowered, no doubt about it.
In addition to using music to buff stats as before, there are also many special melodies.
[Hymn of Farewell] directly finishes off ordinary monsters with less than 30% health. It instantly heals teammates who are below 50% back to 50%.
[Rebirth Melody] revives fallen teammates. Then, it continuously heals over the next 15 seconds. For those teammates who aren't in a state of dying, it creates a shield that blocks one attack.
[March to Eternity] creates a shield that defends teammates five times. Each time the shield is broken, movement speed increases by 20%.The special feature is that all those skills have a full team effect!
No One couldn't understand Sword of Love's explanation, so he went online to read about Phantom Blade's skills.
Basically, Phantom Blade's strength lies in burst of damage.
The cooldown for the skills is very long, but the damage dealt reaches the extreme limit.
The most notable skill is probably [This Sword, Shall Cleave Not Men But The Principles.].
It directly removes all the buffs present on the enemy. After that, it deals damage based on the number of buffs the target had.
The damage inflicted by this skill directly reduces the enemy's maximum health limit.
This means even if the enemy heals, they can't restore to their original state.
If the health was 100% and after the attack it's down to 90%,
then from that point onwards, the enemy's maximum health can only be 90%.
This update have too many OP Classes!
...
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon In Black is at the base of the Society In Black, in a dark room lit by blue flames. About 4 to 5 people are sitting around a round table with her, all covered in black robes.
"Up until now, how many people from afar have joined?"
A person in a black robe with a skeletal, aged hand dotted with moles raised his hand to pick up a scroll and opened it to read.
"Report, 6,758 people have been recruited across the branches. Most of them joined today, after your disciple completed the exam."
"The number is quite small compared to other factions' recruitment," another added."It's not the branches' fault; the class required to join us has very few people from afar studying it. Especially the Blade Dancer."
"On the first day, only Shadow Assassins were recruited, and from the second day onward, there were more Blade Dancers?" the Heavenly Demon In Black asked.
"Yes," the old man replied.
"So it seems that people from afar do have a network to share information with each other. It's not entirely random," the Heavenly Demon In Black nodded thoughtfully.
According to the list, the disciple of the Heavenly Demon In Black was the first to change their class to Blade Dancer.
Subsequently, at the job change location, more people started switching to the Bard class to meet the recruitment requirement for the Blade Dancer combination.
At this time, the Society In Black needed more members. Completing the grand mission required manpower.
She would not hold her disciple accountable if they disclosed how to join; gaining more members at this time was beneficial.
However, it was best to create a contract with that disciple before proceeding. Becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Demon entailed holding a lot of confidential information about the Society In Black.
As she thought this, the Heavenly Demon In Black reached out and sent a letter to No One.
✧[Heavenly Demon In Black: The Society In Black has prepared the documents for you. When you have time, come back to establish the contract. Without the contract, you won't receive any benefits.]✧
✧[No One: Understood.]✧
A contract is an "agreement" between an NPC and a player, or between players themselves.
It is commonly used between factions and people from afar.
Primarily, it's to ensure that people from afar do not betray their faction.If the contract's rules are broken, people from afar will either lose stats, lose equipment, or even face death.
Specifically, the favorability of the faction towards the betrayer is set to negative infinity. There is no way to reduce it.
"Alright. First, continue searching for talented individuals to join us. At the same time, send more scouts to monitor the Wudang faction and the King's Seal Power."
"As you command."
"Dismissed."
As the words ended, all the shadows seemed to vanish simultaneously, taking the green flames with them as they extinguished.
