Chen Tian's blood boiled as he looked at the colossal Star Whale before him. The Star Whale's massive tail slammed down from the sky.
In an instant, the terrifying tail descended like a giant's palm, obscuring the sky. Chen Tian stomped his foot, activating the skill: Gale Shadow Dance. His figure instantly appeared elsewhere.
This strike from the Star Whale's tail ripped through the air, sending starlight scattering like sparks. The starlight in the entire Sea of Stars instantly illuminated. Chen Tian looked at the Star Whale before him, stepping forward. His figure turned into a phantom, and countless afterimages appeared before the Star Whale, as if all of them were Chen Tian.
However, the Star Whale's starlight flickered, and its eyes fixed on one of the afterimages. It instantly opened its massive maw and shot a ball of condensed starlight from its mouth.
Chen Tian was stunned. This creature could see through his afterimages? His Gale Shadow Dance had failed for the first time. His current stats, even with two thousand, were considerable.
He had the advantage in speed, yet his technique was seen through.
"No, it's his Perception. With three thousand Perception, he can naturally detect my true body, unless I reveal no aura."
Chen Tian spoke. The massive starlight ball, like countless stars, surged towards Chen Tian with terrifying power. The starlight, though beautiful, was lethal!
As the ball approached, Chen Tian's figure dodged slightly to the left. The starlight ball grazed past an inch from his body. Skill: Extreme Dodge activated.
At the same time, Chen Tian was shocked. He had almost failed to dodge. While Extreme Dodge was good, it required precise timing. If he had missed the timing, he would have taken the hit.
Behind Chen Tian, a massive explosion erupted.
The starlight exploded, creating a beautiful spectacle.
The terrifying power even churned the surrounding Sea of Stars. Even with Chen Tian's current stats, this strike would have been fatal or severely wounding.
"It has Perception; I can only win through brute strength. Gale Shadow Dance is useless against it."
Chen Tian calmly faced the Star Whale. In the game Chronos Era, different races and creatures had different attributes. Perception was a special skill belonging to the animal race.
The stronger their Perception, the stronger their combat awareness and cognitive abilities. A Perception of three thousand meant it could easily distinguish between an afterimage and the true body.
Chen Tian's dual blades appeared. Clad in the Night Asura Armor and wielding the Asura Dual Blades, Chen Tian instantly switched his class from Twin-Speed Assassin to Night Asura.
Simultaneously, Chen Tian unleashed his full power. Endless dark energy, the aura of slaughter, the aura of an Asura, coiled around him.
Craving battle, craving blood, Chen Tian felt a special emotion influencing him.
"This is Night Asura? Come on!"
Chen Tian roared at the Star Whale and instantly transformed into a black streak of light, charging towards it. His terrifying Asura Dual Blades now unleashed their true power.
The Star Whale saw Chen Tian charging towards it and opened its mouth, firing a starlight bullet. Countless stars converged in its mouth and shot out.
The massive light ball flew towards Chen Tian, its terrifying power enough to make any player feel the danger of death. But Chen Tian charged forward instead of retreating.
He crossed his dual blades in front of his head, spinning his body. Yes, he spun, rotating on his own axis.
"Night Asura Slash!"
The rapidly spinning Chen Tian was like an indestructible drill, instantly colliding with the starlight bullet. The starlight bullet was shattered, proving futile against the drill.
Chen Tian's figure then arrived before the Star Whale, his dual blades held in a wide, sweeping horizontal stance.
"Night Asura Strike!"
Mysterious light gathered from both sides, converging on his dual blades.
A colossal blade, like one descending from the heavens!
This strike hit the Star Whale, and "-1000" instantly appeared above its head.
This single blow dealt a third of its health.
The Star Whale roared, spewing countless furious waves from its mouth.
A Heaven-Shaking Water Curtain, a tempest that engulfed all.
Chen Tian looked at the water curtain before him. This attack was unavoidable; he could only endure it.
The massive water curtain fell like a ferocious tsunami, crushing everything.
"Ding! Host's Night Asura Armor is completely destroyed, unrepairable!"
When the water curtain dispersed, Chen Tian stood unharmed before the Star Whale, but the electronic voice in his mind made him wince.
Taking a blow head-on had triggered the Night Asura's skill: Asura's True Form!
Asura's True Form could destroy armor and negate one fatal blow.
Chen Tian felt the pain. The armor's stats were excellent, but he consoled himself with the thought of the great rewards he would get for defeating the Star Whale. What's gone will be replaced.
His aura surged once more, and with the "More battles, stronger" effect, Chen Tian's stats now exceeded three thousand.
However, the damage dealt was only a little over a thousand. The reason was that the Star Whale was protected by a starlight armor. To deal critical damage, he needed to break through its armor and defense.
The Star Whale looked at Chen Tian, its starlight flaring, clearly preparing for its next attack. But Chen Tian had no intention of giving it that chance. He didn't know what the next move would be, and having lost his armor, he couldn't activate Asura's True Form again. He absolutely could not be hit again.
"Night Asura's Veil!"
Darkness descended, night fell, a pitch-black night, utterly eerie.
At this moment, a certain range of the Sea of Stars was enveloped in darkness. Chen Tian looked at the Star Whale before him, stomped his foot, and unleashed his ultimate speed.
Like a shooting star, he instantly appeared on the Star Whale's body.
Its body, composed of starlight, was breathtakingly beautiful. Chen Tian almost had a moment of hesitation, it was truly that beautiful.
A violent tremor brought Chen Tian back to his senses. Chen Tian gripped his dual blades tightly, channeling all his strength.
He thrust his dual blades straight down. The massive starlight armor and the Asura Dual Blades clashed, creating sparks. As time wore on, the starlight seemed to fade bit by bit. Simultaneously, the durability of the Asura Dual Blades began to seriously decline.
"Crack!"
A sound was heard, as if something had broken. The entire Star Whale exploded, shattering into countless points of starlight.
"Ding! Asura Dual Blades durability 100% destroyed, unable to repair, commencing deletion."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for learning the skill: Insight Weakness."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up to level twenty-five."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining a Star Whale Hatchling Egg."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining 50 attribute points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special ability: Starlight Blessing."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Starfall Armor!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Starfall Imperial Spear!"
