"Successfully used [Lightning Magic Elemental Sphere]!"
With the newbie reward in hand, Kai Blake didn't waste a single second and used it immediately.
A tingling sensation spread throughout his body. Kai Blake felt that the surrounding lightning elements became more active, constantly calling out to him.
"Lightning Magic Elemental Sphere affinity + 100%!"
"Mana recovery speed + 100%!"
"Successfully learned lightning - type skills [Lightning Arrow], [Lightning Blessing], and [Ready to Strike]!"
Introductions of the three skills appeared in front of Kai Blake one by one:
"[Lightning Arrow (LV1)]: Deals (50 + 1 * Intelligence) lightning - type damage, with a 100% chance of causing a slow effect and a 33% chance of causing a paralysis effect.
Mana consumption: 60 points
Cooldown: 3S"
Kai Blake's current intelligence attribute on the character panel is 9 points. One Lightning Arrow can deal 59 points of damage.
Without considering defense, three Lightning Arrows would basically make a newbie player admit defeat!
The small monsters in the newbie dungeon have an HP in the range of [50 - 100], posing no threat to Kai Blake at all!
Just this Lightning Arrow skill alone is enough for Kai Blake to get a fairly high evaluation in the newbie dungeon.
Kai Blake continued to look down.
"[Lightning Blessing (LV1)]: Cast Lightning Blessing on yourself or friendly units. Normal attacks deal an additional 20 points of lightning - type damage, and magic attacks deal an additional 25 points of lightning - type damage.
Mana consumption: 100 points
Duration: 30S
Cooldown: 45S"
"[Ready to Strike]: Doubles the effect of the next lightning - type skill used.
Mana consumption: 10 points
Cooldown: 10S"
"Whoa——"
Kai Blake didn't expect that the three randomly - obtained lightning - type skills could actually cooperate with each other!
"If I use [Ready to Strike] in combination with [Lightning Arrow], the instant burst will be 118 points, enough to instantly kill small monsters!"
Kai Blake quickly calculated in his mind.
"If the combo sequence is changed to: [Ready to Strike] → [Lightning Blessing] → [Ready to Strike] → [Lightning Arrow].."
"Double Lightning Blessing, with an additional 50 points of magic damage, and the basic damage of Lightning Arrow is 59. The total is 236 points!"
"The burst has doubled!"
236 points of damage are enough to instantly kill Kai Blake's current HP!
Based on Kai Blake's years of gaming experience, [Ready to Strike] is definitely a god - tier skill!
Even in the mid - to - late game, [Lightning Arrow] and [Lightning Blessing] might be phased out, but [Ready to Strike] will still be his core skill!
Suddenly,
A bold idea popped into Kai Blake's mind.
"What if I use [Ready to Strike] again after using it once?"
Is this trying to exploit a bug?!
Each use of Ready to Strike consumes 10 points of mana and has a 10 - second cooldown.
Kai Blake's mana recovery speed has been enhanced by the [Lightning Magic Elemental Sphere], and he can recover 50 points of mana in 10 seconds, so he doesn't need to worry about mana consumption at all.
That is to say,
If Kai Blake wants, he can use [Ready to Strike] in a loop until the final blow!
"This is exponential growth. Each time it doubles!"
"If it can be successful...."
Kai Blake felt a rush of excitement in his heart and couldn't wait to give it a try.
Apart from the newbie package, the Tower of Eternity also gives a withered wooden staff. It's a basic item without any attributes, and its only function is to release skills.
"The newbie package has been fully distributed. Do you want to enter the newbie dungeon?"
"Enter!"
Kai Blake felt a dizzying spin. The pure - white space became blurry in an instant, and his consciousness receded like a tide.
When he opened his eyes again, in front of Kai Blake was a dim passage.
With his leather boots stepping on the granite, Kai Blake looked around the environment and couldn't help but sigh.
"The Tower of Eternity, no wonder it's hailed as a fully - simulated online game. This simulation degree is absolutely real!"
Kai Blake stretched out his five fingers and placed them on the wall of the passage.
The rough texture, the uneven surface, and even a lot of dust stuck to Kai Blake's fingertips!
"Alright, it's time to get down to business!"
Kai Blake picked up the staff and looked ahead.
The newbie dungeon he was in was a narrow passage, 2.5 meters high and 1.5 meters wide, allowing two people to walk side by side.
On both sides of the wall, there were two torches erected every 5 meters, emitting a faint light to illuminate the passage.
"According to the strategy, the first section of the newbie dungeon passage has 20 monsters."
In front of Kai Blake, a huge shadow emerged, accompanied by a prompt from [Eyes that analyze the essence]:
"
Monster: Burrowing Rat
HP: 50/50
[All you need to know about it is this. Use your Lightning Arrow to roast this filthy creature to a crisp!]"
The rat was nearly two meters tall, blocking the other end of the passage. It seemed to have sensed Kai Blake's arrival and was slowly moving this way, making strange syllable sounds from its mouth.
"Here it comes!"
Kai Blake raised his staff and prepared to release a skill.
"Ready to Strike——"
A pale - blue light enveloped Kai Blake's whole body.
He didn't rush to fight the monster but waited for it to approach slowly.
"Roar——"
Thump, thump, thump——
The growl, accompanied by huge footsteps, cast the monster's shadow over Kai Blake's head, making it hard to breathe.
If it were someone else, they might have already rushed to attack in the face of this situation!
Kai Blake silently counted the seconds and stepped back to ensure a safe distance from the monster.
"5, 4..."
The burrowing rat was close enough, and the stench on it was like that of a sewer rat.
It was actually a rat?
Well, that's okay then.
"...3, 2, 1!"
As soon as the cooldown ended, Kai Blake immediately released the skill again.
"Ready to Strike."
The pale - blue light appeared again, but this time it was a bit darker.
"Lightning Arrow"
Kai Blake didn't waste any time. Although it was his first battle, he was extremely proficient, without any extra movements.
Boom——
A lightning arrow as thick as a finger condensed in front of Kai Blake and then whistled past at an extremely fast speed, easily hitting the burrowing rat!
Zzz——
A series of electric current sounds, accompanied by a burnt smell. A bright red number floated above the burrowing rat's head:
[-236!]
The Lightning Arrow dealt 236 points of lightning - attribute damage!
The burrowing rat's health bar was emptied instantly, and it crashed to the ground. Its body turned into white light spots and slowly dissipated, leaving 3 copper coins in place.
Kai Blake's spirits lifted. He clenched his left fist, feeling very excited.
"It works!"
"The effect of [Ready to Strike] can stack! The first time is 2 times, the second time is 4 times, and the third time is 8 times!"
This is not an arithmetic sequence but a geometric sequence, an exponential growth!
[Fun fact: Ready to Strike can only stack 30 times]
After stacking 30 times, Kai Blake's burst will be astonishing!
Kai Blake couldn't help but breathe a little heavier. He could hardly imagine how terrifying the scene would be then!
Maybe just one Lightning Arrow could instantly kill the boss!
Putting the copper coins on the ground into his pocket, Kai Blake looked ahead in the passage.
Disturbed by the previous battle, many burrowing rats woke up from their slumber and started looking for prey in the passage!
Kai Blake pursed his lips, trying not to get too excited so as not to affect the next battle.
"The show has just begun!"
