NOVEL WEB Chapter 782: Level 6 Disaster Class on the Third Floor (Part 2)
[Cataclysmic Awakening: Life Drain]
[Life Drain: Drain the HP of surrounding creatures]
[Status: Dormant]
This is a gigantic brown monster standing over five meters tall. It has a burly physique, covered in muscles, with curved horns on its head. Its blood-filled mouth is tightly shut, but two large fangs protrude, indicating it's not to be trifled with.
However, the most important thing is its attributes: This is a Level 6 Disaster Class monster with a million HP!
No wonder there were no other creatures in sight; it's because there's a Level 6 Disaster-level monster here.
Moreover, its cataclysmic awakening is [Life Drain], which is a very troublesome Awakening. With this ability, slowly wearing it down is almost impossible. It's best to end it quickly and not give it too many chances to drain HP!
Wang Tao encountered a Level 6 creature for the first time in this life, and it turned out to be one of the top-tier existences within Level 6.
Of course, Wang Tao is not afraid of it. After all, no matter how strong it is, it's just a Level 6 creature. Not to mention, it is currently in [Dormant] status, giving Wang Tao a significant advantage.
Although the monster's [Life Drain] is indeed troublesome, continuously causing damage to Wang Tao while healing itself, Wang Tao has ways to counter it with his [Holy Blessing] and [Blood Vessel Expansion] attributes!
Holy Blessing can grant him several statuses, fitting the situation regardless of the type of attack he's currently facing. Coupled with Blood Vessel Expansion, which boosts all his attributes and greatly enhances his explosive power in the short term, Wang Tao believes it won't take long to defeat this Level 6 Disaster Class monster.
Wang Tao flew directly to a spot not far from the monster, a distance naturally within the range of its cataclysmic awakening. Wang Tao began to lose HP continuously, and three statuses appeared above his head in succession.
[Holy Blessing: 50% reduction in sustained damage]
[Holy Blessing: Gain 10% blood sucking ability]
[Holy Blessing: Increase all healing abilities by 50%]
Upon seeing these three Holy Blessings, Wang Tao grinned widely. As expected of Holy Blessings, what can this monster use to compete with him?
The first Holy Blessing directly halves the monster's cataclysmic awakening! Just this one Blessing alone is enough to make Wang Tao invincible.
However, being invincible doesn't necessarily provide Wang Tao the ability to slay this Level 6 Disaster Class monster. But the second blessing does.
The second blessing gives Wang Tao a 10% blood sucking ability! Initially, Wang Tao had no blood sucking ability, putting him at a disadvantage against a Disaster Class monster. But with this ability, he has the endurance for prolonged combat and doesn't fear a war of attrition with the monster!
But there's more, as Wang Tao's third blessing is equally strong, directly increasing all his healing abilities by 50%, including the blood sucking ability!
Wang Tao had previously received this blessing and knows that the additional blood-sucking capability isn't directly 50% but 50% of 10%, meaning it goes from 10% to 15%. Still, it's quite beneficial.
Furthermore, this increase applies to all healing abilities, including Wang Tao's own regeneration ability.
Although his native healing ability isn't high, only recovering slowly over time, key to his advantage is a [Blood Vessel Expansion] attribute he gained after ascending to Level 6. He detailedly tested this attribute yesterday and found it boosts all its attributes, including his regeneration ability, in the short term!
When using [Blood Vessel Expansion], Wang Tao's healing capability is comparable to some continuous abilities. If you add another 50% to this healing power when using [Blood Vessel Expansion], the effect is akin to having Lan Yulian continuously healing him!
So now the question isn't whether Wang Tao can defeat the Level 6 Disaster Class monster, but how quickly he can do it and whether he can achieve a rapid kill!
"Meeting me is your bad luck,"
Wang Tao murmured and immediately activated [Blood Vessel Expansion].
Initially, he had been losing some HP within the range of the cataclysmic awakening since he hadn't started attacking the monster yet to engage blood sucking. But once he activated Blood Vessel Expansion, his HP quickly returned to full from the initial 120,000!
This recovery wasn't due to blood sucking but his terrifying innate recovery ability!
The effect of the [Blood Vessel Expansion] attribute lasts only one minute, but that's more than enough for Wang Tao.
Whish—
Wang Tao immediately appeared in front of the sleeping Level 6 Disaster Class monster.
Getting closer caused him to lose more HP, but with Holy Blessing and Blood Vessel Expansion's attributes, he instantly restored his full HP!
Even the HP loss from a Level 6 cataclysmic awakening couldn't outpace his body's passive recovery!
Wang Tao suddenly felt that the blood sucking-enhancing Holy Blessing seemed unnecessary since his body's automatic healing alone could instantly bring him back to full...
Although it took time to explain, it happened in an instant. As Wang Tao approached the monster, he launched an attack immediately.
Bang!
[-133093]
This punch alone knocked off 130,000 of the monster's HP!
This is a Level 6 Disaster Class creature with a million HP, at the peak of Level 6! But even such a powerful creature can't withstand a few punches from Wang Tao! And Wang Tao recently ascended to Level 6, still in the early stages of the rank.
This Level 6 Disaster Class monster, like the creatures on the first and second floors, didn't awaken from its [Dormant] state after being severely punched by Wang Tao.
Wang Tao didn't hold back and delivered several more punches.
[-141293]
[-138756]
[-145622]
[...]
In just one round, the monster's HP plummeted to less than half.
Roar—
The monster let out an enraged bellow; its [Dormant] status finally dissipated, and it woke up. But simultaneously, a 30% weakness status appeared on it.
The monster was still somewhat unclear about the situation, but being a Level 6 Disaster Class, it reflexively raised its hoof and attempted to stomp towards Wang Tao.
Wang Tao intentionally tested his defense capabilities and thus didn't dodge, taking the hit directly.
Bang!
[-8334]
The stomp cost Wang Tao nearly 10,000 HP. Although this figure pales compared to Wang Tao's inflicted damage of over 100,000, it's important to note this was under the condition where Wang Tao momentarily enhanced all his attributes and deliberately defended, with 120,000 total HP and a physical robustness exceeding peers of the same level!
Unlike ordinary Level 6 Awakeners with only 20,000 to 30,000 HP and less strength than Wang Tao, who would almost certainly be stomped to death by the Level 6 Disaster Class monster!
"Wow, what powerful attack strength!"
Wang Tao exclaimed and then swiftly flew away to dodge the monster's subsequent attacks.
A test was sufficient; more tests would be asking for trouble, and there remain certain risks.
Roar!
The successive attacks, continuously evaded by Wang Tao, fueled the monster's anger even further. It roared, its body seeming to expand slightly, growing stronger than before.
Yet Wang Tao no longer confronted it head-on. Instead, during the gaps when its attacks missed, he counterattacked. Not greedy, he would evade and punch once.
This left the monster unable to retaliate.
After merely a few punches, this Level 6 Disaster Class monster was left with barely any HP.
Roar!
The monster became even more frenzied, increasing its attack frequency. Yet Wang Tao stayed calm, dodging the monster's assaults while releasing two heat energy beams at it.
Sizzle—
[26382]
[0/1000000]
Crash—
The monster fell to the ground with a thundering crash.
Except for enduring one direct hit from the monster and HP loss due to ongoing attacks from the cataclysmic awakening, Wang Tao suffered no other injuries. Moreover, his unparalleled healing capability quickly restored him to full health. The Disaster Awakening resulting from the Level 6 Disaster Class monster's death had virtually no effect on Wang Tao.
"Level 6 Disaster Class... is indeed powerful! Only I could handle it; any other Level 6 Awakener wouldn't stand a chance..."
Wang Tao shook his head, then swiftly collected the spoils of war.
