Chapter 71: From Beyond the World, We Obtain the Power to Deny the World

After Yun Mu made her choice, the road behind the two gradually faded away, and a figure draped in blood-stained black robes, their entire face hidden beneath a hood, appeared before them.

【You have encountered an enemy—【Profane Bishop lv15 (Elite)】】

【Profane Bishop lv15 (Elite)

Race: Bloodline

Max HP: 35

Attack 15, Spell Strength 18, Defense 5, Tenacity 4, Dodge 22, Speed 18, Precision Correction 15, Critical Hit 8%

Traits: Scarlet Curse, Elite (Max HP +15%, after the first action, summons three subordinates to join the battle), Flesh Proliferation (after receiving healing, excess healing is converted into a shield)

Skills: Deep Sacrifice Finger, Evil Lash, Summon Tentacles, Flesh Mutual Aid.】

Thirty-five points of health, the same as the Demon Guard, but with five points less defense; isn't this the kind of thing that can be killed with a single Mental Shock?

Yun Mu raised an eyebrow; is this all an Elite Challenge has to offer?

If she were allowed to act first in the first round, even if this guy had other tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn't be able to use them.

Unfortunately, her base speed is 12, and with equipment, it only reaches 16, and the 10% speed increase from Fleet-Footed does not factor in the equipment.

Therefore, her speed is 12*1.1+4=17.2; because the game she created has no decimals, it is 17 points of speed, which is one point less than the Profane Bishop's 18 points of speed.

How could it be exactly one point off? This Game System must be doing it on purpose.

Even if the two had the same speed, as a player, her priority should definitely be higher than a monster's.

Yun Mu thought to herself, grumbling.

In any case, because the Profane Bishop's speed is higher, the Profane Bishop takes the first turn in the first round.

The figure hidden under the black robe was seen constantly writhing, and then it suddenly released a large number of scarlet tentacles, which swung toward Yun Mu and Lucy like long whips!

【Evil Lash】

【Melee/3 units damage/Attack】

【Range 3】

【Base Precision 110/Damage Correction -20%/Critical Hit +8%】

【Life Steal 80%】

【-7 (Critical Hit!)】

【-10!】

【+14!】

【HP: 【Profane Bishop: 35/35 (+14 Shield)】【Yun Mu: 36/43】【Lucy: 20/30】】

Oh no, backstabbed by a teammate!

Yun Mu looked at the Profane Bishop's +14 shield, then looked at Lucy's remaining two-thirds of health, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

The next moment, accompanied by low growls and a Roar, under the effect of the trait 【Elite】, two Bone-Chopping Priests and one Demon Guard crawled out from behind the Profane Bishop.

Now Yun Mu had an even worse headache.

Fortunately, the speed of the other three mobs was not as high as hers, so she could take some time to think about the next strategy.

First, let's do a simple speed calculation, assuming she doesn't kill any enemies when it's her turn.

Then, according to speed and priority, the next to act would be the two Bone-Chopping Priests with 13 speed, then Lucy with 11 speed, and finally the Demon Guard, also with 11 speed.

With the damage of a Bone-Chopping Priest, one strike could empty Lucy's remaining health bar, subsequently triggering the trait 【Deadly Sacrifice】 to act again.

No, absolutely cannot let the Bone-Chopping Priests act!

Even if they don't empty Lucy's health bar to trigger the talent, the Bone-Chopping Priests might release 【Self-Sacrifice】 to directly pull the Profane Bishop's turn up.

If both Bone-Chopping Priests use 【Self-Sacrifice】 to pull the Profane Bishop's turn, and the opponent uses two 【Evil Lash】 attacks, Lucy's health bar would still be emptied.

It would also allow the Profane Bishop to stack a massive amount of shields.

"Damn it, if I had been allowed to act directly in the first round and one-shot him, where would all these problems come from?" Yun Mu realized for the first time just how important the speed attribute is.

She has to use a painting, so which painting should she use?

【Sunset】 seems like a good choice—wait, what was the damage of 【Sunset】 again?

Under the blessing of 【Scarlet】, she has 41 points of Spell Strength, and the damage correction for Sunset is +40%.

Plus her trait 【Fallen】, that's 41*(1+0.4+0.15) = 64 points of damage!

May I ask, with the Profane Bishop's HP at 35, shield amount at 14, and defense at only 5, can he withstand her 64 points of damage?

"Heh heh ha ha ha ha, who cares about the math, just mindlessly crush them!"

"Take this, this is the power of stats!"

The painting 【Sunset】 materialized from her Ether Body and floated behind Yun Mu; a massive magic circle rose from beneath her feet, and accompanied by a flash of the Chinese character 'Fire', a crimson fireball descended from the sky, exploding on the Profane Bishop with a "Boom!"

【-59!】

【-63!】

【-63!】

Crimson damage numbers jumped out from above the heads of the Profane Bishop and the two Bone-Chopping Priests; accompanied by a roar of anger and unwillingness, the Profane Bishop's black robe was instantly burned to ashes, revealing the twisted, Profane flesh beneath the hood.

And this flesh, along with the fading roar, was Purified by the crimson flames.

This can't be blamed on him; after all, Supernatural Paintings are not items from the Dungeon world, but things she obtained in the real world.

At this stage, it is very difficult to obtain blue-tier items in a game Dungeon.

It's like an item inherited from another game account, destined to be an overpowered existence at this stage.

"Sorry, I'm cheating," Yun Mu said, looking at the lone, remaining Demon Guard.

Unfortunately, using this method means she cannot obtain skill proficiency rewards; it has its pros and cons.

"It's my turn," Lucy, standing behind her, suddenly spoke, giving Yun Mu a start.

"Yes, yes, it's your turn," she said, feeling somewhat speechless.

From the moment she entered turn-based combat, she had noticed it.

In battle, Lucy did not have self-awareness; to be precise, what stood behind her at this moment was merely an existence similar to a projection of Lucy.

Just like when players play a game, Lucy would follow her commands to release skills and would also speak certain specific voice lines, but she could not communicate with Lucy.

"Let's use 【Constellation Magic: Blade Constellation I】," she thought for a moment, and issued the command to the projection of Lucy.

【Constellation Magic: Blade Constellation I】

【Ranged/Single-Target Damage/Spell Strength】

【Range 8】

【Base Accuracy 120/Damage Modifier +35%/Armor Penetration 5】

【Armor Penetration: An attack that ignores the enemy's defense; the specific value is determined by the number after the effect.】

"Starlight shatters, the blade shines, you are my sword, pierce this enemy!"

Lucy's projection raised her right hand high and solemnly recited this embarrassing line, and a streak of silvery-gray radiance descended from the sky, landing in her palm.

The next second, she swung her hand violently, and a blade composed purely of starlight flew toward the Demon Guard.

PS: In this world, the original star map was drawn by the kin of the Bright Moon, Yinyue zhi Ren Sufiya.

She grouped 111 stars and divided them into six constellations based on the gravitational pull of their power.

These are the Lijianzuo, composed of 16 stars.

The Gunner Constellation, composed of 21 stars.

The War Hammer Constellation, composed of 13 stars.

The Archer Constellation, composed of 7 stars.

The Tianpingzuo, composed of 32 stars.

And the Gemini Constellation, composed of 22 stars.

Among them, the most popular is the Sword Constellation; the star that forms the tip of the sword in the Sword Constellation is also known as the South-Pointing Star because it points toward the south.
