Chapter 589: Super Recruit 2
In general, the Knight cla.s.s, when doing PVP, was a cla.s.s that was above average.
Its dealing ability was lower than the other cla.s.ses, but its tanking ability was way stronger compared to other cla.s.ses.
The Knight cla.s.s had a harsh defense with vitality and recovery.
If one could continuously put a deal using a weapon along with his strong points, the opponent would eventually get tired and lose their vitality.
‘And like now, surely the equipment performance difference is a lot… but a Warrior cla.s.s can never beat a Knight.’
Seeing Ian rus.h.i.+ng toward him, w.a.n.g Choi smiled wickedly.
w.a.n.g Choi was already convinced that Ian was a ‘Warrior’ cla.s.s user.
He saw the skills that Ian showed in the previous battle and decided for himself.
‘His physical is great, but if his attack can’t pierce my defense, no matter how great his physical is, it is going to be pointless.’
w.a.n.g Choi guessed that Ian’s sword tier was at least two tiers below his armor.
If that really was Ian’s weapon’s level, then the deal that it could do would be like the footprints of an ant.
“Hmph!”
While gathering energy, w.a.n.g Choi was ready to face Ian.
However, w.a.n.g Choi’s eyes widened all of a sudden.
“…!”
Ian, who was rus.h.i.+ng in, suddenly had a s.h.i.+eld in his hand.
‘What? Does a Warrior cla.s.s have a s.h.i.+eld?’
w.a.n.g Choi couldn’t even think anymore.
Ian immediately began hitting w.a.n.g Choi with his sword and s.h.i.+eld.
Kang- Kakang-!
Ian kept giving w.a.n.g Choi a beating.
‘How dare this guy use a s.h.i.+eld when going against a Knight cla.s.s?’
In Kailan, the Knight cla.s.s’ role in PVP was often referred to as ‘s.h.i.+elds’.
In most cases, a user’s ability to control a s.h.i.+eld would determine the outcome of the battle.
It was a fight about who could absorb more damage.
Ian took out a s.h.i.+eld and was taunting the enemy to come for a war of s.h.i.+elds.
w.a.n.g Choi couldn’t understand Ian’s ‘reckless choice’ no matter how hard he thought about it.
‘Do you really think you have a better s.h.i.+eld than me?’
w.a.n.g Choi focused on Ian’s movements.
He needed to kill Ian’s confidence by showing him an overwhelming s.h.i.+eld work.
But as the battle began, a much more amazing sight began to unfold.
Papang-!
Whenever the form of Ian and w.a.n.g Choi moved, two lines of waves came out from their s.h.i.+elds.
That happened because of the bursting effect that could be achieved by s.h.i.+elding more than 90% of the absorption.
A sight that could only be seen by looking at a top PVP Knight cla.s.s.
The others, who were watching the battle, had no choice but to doubt their eyes.
‘What? Wasn’t he a warrior cla.s.s? What the h.e.l.l is he?’
‘No other cla.s.s could do such s.h.i.+eld work!’
The control of Ian and w.a.n.g Choi’s s.h.i.+eld was very close.
However, there was one trap.
w.a.n.g Choi was a Knight cla.s.s, and Ian was a Summoner cla.s.s.
For the Knight cla.s.s, there was a level of control correction when using the s.h.i.+eld blocking.
Therefore, Ian was showing a similar level of absorption rate
The tight balance slowly began to tilt a little to one side.
Kkakang-!
With a disturbing hitting sound, Ian’s sword scratched w.a.n.g Choi’s s.h.i.+eld.
And the next moment…
Puck-!
A dull sound different from the other sound that rang a while ago reverberated throughout the battlefield.
“Kuah-!”
Ian brushed w.a.n.g Choi’s s.h.i.+eld. Ian then thrust his sword through w.a.n.g Choi’s s.h.i.+eld and plunged it into w.a.n.g Choi’s abdomen after figuring out the texture of the s.h.i.+eld.
w.a.n.g Choi, who confirmed that his vitality had dropped, had no choice but to doubt his eyes.
“What the…!?”
With a deadly blow, even if it was such an attack, the level of vitality that got cut off was high.
‘How can I… take 5 percent of damage with one strike?’
5 percent vitality might not seem that much at first glance.
But the problem was that w.a.n.g Choi was a Knight cla.s.s user, which meant that it would be twice more for other cla.s.ses. Also, the Knight cla.s.s was the cla.s.s with the highest defense.
In addition, w.a.n.g Choi’s equipment was at least one to two tiers higher than other users.
In conclusion, the damage that w.a.n.g Choi had received was twice more than what he had expected.
“Huhu.”
After giving him a fatal strike, Ian jumped back and looked at w.a.n.g Choi.
Of course, Ian didn’t forget to strike w.a.n.g Choi’s mentality.
“Are you really going to be beaten by a recruit?”
“This b.a.s.t.a.r.d…!”
w.a.n.g Choi, who felt the rage burn in him, ran toward Ian like a bison.
Ian saw that and thought to himself.
‘How did you get 2 kills with such low-level skills… This is one overconfident one.’
Actually, he didn’t see it, but Ian was a bit surprised by the airborne attack.
There were 2 reasons for it.
First, the physical disparity of w.a.n.g Choi was surprising.
Of course, it wasn’t that w.a.n.g Choi’s physical was bad.
Though it might be unfair, he was better than Herz when it came to physical.
The problem was that it wasn’t a general battlefield.
Only 50 people had been selected from the whole world, so it was like the Battle with the Stars.
For someone who had 2 kills, w.a.n.g Choi’s skills were extremely lacking.
Second, Ian was surprised by w.a.n.g Choi’s defense and offense, which exceeded his expectations.
In short, he was surprised by w.a.n.g Choi’s ‘weapons’.
‘Did he did it like me? How did he even get to hold such high tiered weapons?’
Ian wasn’t sure about the weapons’ options since he hadn’t seen it yet, but w.a.n.g Choi’s items were better than what Ian had.
Of course, they were weaker than the ‘Dragon Warlord Orb’, which was in Ian’s inventory, but they were superior compared to what Ian had.
While Ian was thinking about that, w.a.n.g Choi’s sword had begun to narrow the distance between them once again.
However, Ian was still very relaxed.
‘He still hasn’t understood the situation… stop hitting a hundred.’
And soon, w.a.n.g Choi’s sword moved.
But he lost his target because he lost his balance.
w.a.n.g Choi was trying to hold his anxiety back as hard as he could.
“…!”
After making w.a.n.g Choi fl.u.s.tered, Ian’s form changed.
Pung-!
A soft explosion was triggered.
As the sound resonated, w.a.n.g Choi’s form emerged into the air.
w.a.n.g Choi was. .h.i.t by a scarf stroke.
“Uh ah…!”
The shock launched w.a.n.g Choi into the air, and that made him scream his lungs out.
Pu-Puck-!
w.a.n.g Choi landed with his back faced to the ground, and Ian indiscriminately scrambled him.
[Fatal Damage was done to the Devil Army user Lance ‘w.a.n.g Choi’!]
[Fatal Damage was done to the Devil Army user Lance ‘w.a.n.g Choi’!]
w.a.n.g Choi was confused.
But it didn’t end there.
Ian’s sword was stuck on w.a.n.g Choi’s back.
Puck-!
At that moment…
The system messages, which were hard to believe, came into w.a.n.g Choi’s eyes.
[Deadly damage was done in a defenseless state.]
[The durability of the ‘Marion Plate Armor’ dropped by 30%.]
[The ‘Marion Plate Armor’ has been ruptured.]
[The defense of the ‘Marion Plate Armor’ has been reduced by 63%.]
“Keuk…!”
After being indiscriminately attacked by Ian, w.a.n.g Choi was thrown and rolled down on the floor.
Although he still had more than half of his vitality, w.a.n.g Choi had already lost a lot of vitality.
‘My… my armor…!’
The Marion Plate Armor was a small item that made a difference in the Brave Canyon.
The fact that it had been ruptured meant that it wasn’t functioning.
It wasn’t impossible to have it repaired, but it was going to be tough to get it back to its original form.
In general, once an item was ruptured, the performance of the item would be reduced by around 50%.
Instead of using the Marion Plate Armor, it was better to just wear any ‘combatant’ level armor.
“This… this…!”
w.a.n.g Choi was screaming while banging his fists; complex emotions rushed in him.
However, Ian didn’t give enough time for w.a.n.g Choi to mourn.
“Kay, that was pretty hard… now go and rest.”
With an intense force, Ian ran toward w.a.n.g Choi.
Of course, w.a.n.g Choi still fought back, but his movements were different than before.
His armor was ruptured, and he didn’t have the right mentality to continue fighting. His former bashful self wasn’t there anymore.
Puck- Puck-!
Even though he was still holding on to his s.h.i.+eld, w.a.n.g Choi couldn’t block any of Ian’s incoming attacks.
Ian’s blue s.h.i.+eld began to spread like it did in the beginning.
Paang-!
Around 10 minutes had pa.s.sed.
[The Devil Army, lance user’s ‘w.a.n.g Choi’ vitality has been exhausted.]
[The knight ‘Ian’ of the Celestial army has won.]
[w.a.n.g Choi has been summoned outside of the battlefield.]
The message that came at the end appeared in front of all the users on the battlefield.
Tring-!
And in front of Ian came the most satisfying messages.
[You have won over the defense.]
[Current Kill Point: 4]
[You have achieved 4 kills in a row.]
[You’ve acquired an additional 150 points of public value.]
