Chapter 72: Chain Throw

【-34!】

【Ghoul Guard: 1/35】

"Huh, is the damage a bit high?"

Yun Mu said, looking somewhat surprised at the number popping up above the Ghoul Guard's head.

Although her math wasn't exactly great, because the damage calculation formula for the game she created was overly simple, she could still roughly judge how much damage a skill should deal.

Lucy's Spell Strength is 12, and because she is her companion, she can also enjoy the Path effect she chose, so her Spell Strength is 22 points.

The damage modifier for 【Constellation Magic: Blade Constellation I】 is 35%, plus the 20% damage bonus from the 【Constellation Magic Mastery】 trait, and 5 points of armor penetration; it should have been 29 points of damage.

Where did this extra five points of damage come from?

After roughly reviewing Lucy's attributes and panel, Yun Mu discovered a somewhat unexpected fact.

"Could it be that the sword released by Constellation Magic is also included in the 【Sword Mastery】 trait?"

This should count as a game bug.

Pfft, the game she created has no bugs; this is a game feature!

Anyway, it's not a bad thing for her; it's not like she'll encounter an enemy who uses this feature later on.

She thought.

【Chain Throw!】

【Ranged/Single-Target Damage/Attack Power】

【Range 6】

【Base Accuracy 85/Damage Modifier -60%/Forced Displacement 80%/Imprisonment 60%】

【Forced Displacement: Forces the target to move forward 2 units.】

【Imprisonment: Unable to release skills requiring hands or feet; the 【Imprisonment】 target gains the skill 【Struggle】】

Alone and with only one point of health left, the Ghoul Guard shook the chain in his hand and finally unleashed his last skill, the effect of which Yun Mu did not yet know.

The chain was seen spinning rapidly in the Ghoul Guard's hand, emitting a harsh whistling sound as it tore through the air, then it lunged toward Lucy.

【Dodge!】

The chain flew silently past Lucy's side without causing any damage; just watching it, Yun Mu felt the opponent was a bit pitiful.

Knowing they can't win, yet unable to run.

Hehehe, let me end your pathetic life!

【Mental Shock!】

【-52!】

【Stun!】

The 【Tenacious】 trait triggered, and the Ghoul Guard's health bar remained unmoved.

He immediately entered his action turn but was unable to act due to the Stun effect.

"So the Stun effect of Mental Shock really can trigger."

Looking at the stunned Ghoul Guard, Yun Mu remarked.

She had used this skill so many times, and although enemies generally have high tenacity, is it a bit excessive that it has only triggered once until now?

Forget it, who told her she had bad luck.

She sighed imperceptibly and then controlled the projection Lucy to launch an attack at the Ghoul Guard.

【Constellation Magic: Blade Constellation I!】

【-34!】

【You have won a battle!

Maximum health of you and your companion 【Lucy】 +3

You obtained the item 【Gold Coin】 *861 【Pickpocketing lv5+41】

You obtained the equipment 【Immoral Notebook (Green)】】

【Immoral Notebook (Green)】

【Spell Strength +5/Skill Healing Effect +20%】

【Skill: Immoral Pleasure】

【Support/Single-Target】

【Range 4】

【User and 【Target】 +5 Desire】

【During this battle: 【Target】 Damage Modifier +10%/Critical Hit +5%】

【A book recording a Precept Knight and a nun falling in love and tasting forbidden fruit within a Monastery; as for why this book was in the hands of the Monastery's original Bishop, who knows?】

【You have reached the current rank cap; you must complete the breakthrough mission to continue leveling up!】

【Experience points have been stored.】

"What kind of equipment is this?"

With a look of utter confusion, Yun Mu picked up the gray-black notebook from the ground. She flipped through the pages and took a rough look; inside, told from the nun's first-person perspective, was the story of her and the Precept Knight in the Monastery falling in love and "clapping" with each other.

It felt nothing special, and she didn't know why it could become equipment.

"I'll give this book to Lucy." She thought.

Setting aside that inexplicable +5 Desire, the book's skill looked quite strong.

As for why it was for Lucy to use instead of herself...

First, of course, it's because Lucy doesn't have any equipment right now, and she wants to strengthen the other's power; the second point is that this book has a +20% skill healing effect.

When Lucy transforms into the 【Blood Clan】 state, the 【Blood Magic: Blood Healing】 she can use is a skill that can help teammates recover health during battle.

This book can only unleash its full potential when it is in her hands.

Thinking of this, she handed the Immoral Notebook to Lucy, who was beside her, and said, "Lucy, you should be the one to use this book."

"Is this... something that just dropped from that Profane Bishop?" Lucy asked, taking the notebook from her hand with some surprise.

"Strange, such a large fireball didn't even burn this book."

A look of confusion appeared on her face.

She was seen gently stroking the cover of the notebook with her hand, closing her eyes tightly as if she could feel the power within.

As if a gentle Wind had blown past the two of them, Lucy opened her eyes once again.

She looked at her and smiled slightly.

"I like it very much, thank you."

"As long as you like it." Yun Mu felt a bit embarrassed by the other's gaze and turned her cheek slightly to the side as she spoke.

After the turn-based battle just now ended, she received, as usual, the memories of her and Lucy cooperating in a non-turn-based battle.

That Profane Bishop had first attacked the two of them, with countless tentacles emerging from beneath his black robe, whipping madly toward them.

Yun Mu naturally did not take much damage, just as in the game, but Lucy had been sent flying by the tentacles.

In a fit of rage, she immediately summoned the painting Sunset, and a single fireball burned the Profane Bishop and the two Bone-Chopping Priests following behind him into ashes.

And Lucy had taken this opportunity to use Constellation Magic to kill the Evil Ghost Guard.

"The non-existent memories have increased again," Yun Mu could not help but sigh while recalling the extra memories in her mind.

"What?" Lucy, who was beside her, looked at her with some confusion after hearing her words.

"No, it's nothing," Yun Mu waved her hand.

"Let's continue moving forward," she said.

"Alright."

Lucy took off a small portion of the various bottles hanging from her waist and replaced them with the gray-black notebook Yun Mu had just given her.

As for the bottles that were removed, she hung them in a position that would not be protected by the outer robe.

After finishing this, she ran with small steps to the front of Yun Mu, who was waiting for her in the distance.

Come to think of it, in the non-turn-based battle memory, when Lucy was sent flying, were those bottles of hers not affected at all?

Or could it be that those bottles are not as fragile as they look on the surface, but are actually quite sturdy?

It couldn't just be something like a texture, could it...

Yun Mu complained in her heart.

PS: Aba aba aba aba.
