Chapter 102: 102
「Black Dragon's Roar – Active skill
Effect: Send out a soundwave containing elements of destruction that deals 30n damage (Where n is total attack damage) over a distance of 1n (Where n is range of sight) .
Note: Due to inherent destruction elements, this attack has a 60% chance to disintegrate targets and negate drops . Cannot be used on players .
Cooldown: 1 hour」
This was the most broken skill Draco possessed to this day . Nothing he had earned so far, and nothing he could ever earn, would ever surpass the sheer absurdity of the Dragon's Roar skill .
It was overpowered, it was limitless, it was omnipotent .
Draco felt that it was so because it wasn't like Omega, which had severe repercussions for its use . Omega would rend any enemy under heaven for sure, but Draco would not get experience, he would not get loot, neither would he get any accolades or game announcements .
It was a life-saving trump card that would end any enemy he couldn't handle .
But it was only useful if the enemy was having a 1v1 with him and no other enemy would be able to reach him within the span of a minute . Otherwise, such a thing would be meaningless as he could only sit there and die .
Black Dragon's Roar - which had evolved from Dragon's Roar - would buff his total attack damage by 30 times over a range of 1 times his range of sight .
Total attack damage here didn't just mean the damage Draco would deal if he swung his sword once, no . It calculated the attack total of everything Draco owned, equipped and could muster at one point in time .
The maximum attack value from his swords, the strength value from his stats - and how it translated into attack damage - the attack value of these two when buffed with War Monger, Absolute Void and Dragon's Force, as well as other boost type skills .
Currently, his total attack damage was over 30,000! His total attack damage had been slightly more than 3,000 when he beat the Captain Rank Ursa of the Ursa's Cave dungeon, and he had been barely level 10 by then .
Now, with all of his acquisitions so far, his total attack damage had reached such a horrifying level!
Of course, it still wasn't even nearly enough to one shot a Captain Rank Monster, which was a dungeon boss with around 200,000 to 300,000 health usually . This was also his total attack damage, meaning that this represented the amount of damage Draco would do in an all-out attack .
He couldn't keep this damage output up at all .
Still, what was truly terrifying about this broken skill, The Black Dragon's Roar, was that it boosted this damage by 30!
Dios Mio! (TL: My God! in Spanish)
That meant that one round of Black Dragon's Roar dealt… 900,000 damage!
An attack of just under a million damage every 30 minutes… just which large scale conflict was Draco supposed to lose? Was it even remotely possible?
The issue was that the AI didn't plan to make Draco so overpowered . In fact, the Black Dragon's Roar skill was innocent in itself .
It dealt an impressive amount of damage alright, but a one hour cooldown was more than enough to negate its abuse in any Guild War, assuming the enemy guild used different barriers or tools to defend themselves .
The range of sight of a human was extremely limited . When range of sight was concerned, it related to how far you could see clearly and defined shapes, not until the nearest horizon .
The nearest horizon - on a clear day and on flat land - was usually 2 . 9 miles away . Since that distance wasn't counted, it meant that the range of sight would usually fall down to everything within a mile of the caster .
A distance limit of a mile and a cooldown of one hour made this skill sit perfectly at the Epic level, which was the rank of the Dragorugio armor . This was what the AI calculated .
One could say it was even a bit lower than a peak Epic skill, since each target hit with the soundwave had a 60% chance to disintegrate and leave nothing .
With the Richmond's Herald title equipped, Draco lowered his cooldown to thirty minutes . This raised the skill to peak Epic - in fact, almost Semi-Legendary - in terms of effect and results .
This was a bit much, but still manageable .
However, everything became messed up when Draco received the Divine Eyes of Caelo . The Divine Eyes of Caelo possessed True Sight, allowing Draco to see everything, see through everything and see beyond everything .
Not even counting seeing through and seeing beyond, just the basic 'seeing' made this skill incomparably broken beyond belief and all morality .
Draco's 'range of sight' with the Eyes of Caelo was no longer limited to human understandings, but that of a God who saw all and ruled over all . He could see every corner of Boundless, and if that particular segment was unable to be 'seen', he could always 'see through' or 'see beyond' if he eventually managed to Rank up .
As it were, Draco knew that this skill would be nerfed heavily in the future because it was too broken, it would ruin the game completely .
He could literally sit in his chair at the Guild Hall and send Black Dragon's Roar out every 30 minutes, killing every Rank 1 monster in the whole world . How could he not be nerfed?!
Realizing this, he had already accepted it, and theorized that it might happen after he was out of the Flora and Fauna quest .
After all, he was limited to 'seeing' during the quest, so he couldn't do too much harm with it here .
Since the AI had dared to allow him freedom with the skill, how could Draco not utilize it in such a situation?
As Draco roared, a soundwave spread out over the whole expanse of the Central Meadowland, impacting everything and everyone that was classified as an enemy . Many of these monsters were blown away as their screams echoed out .
Some directly froze in mid-air as they slowly disintegrated into dust, dispersing into the wind . None of these monsters were above Rank 1, and they also did not give a single bit of experience to Draco .
Most of the Rank 2 monsters were straight away sent into the red, as their HPs were barely above 600,000 .
Of course, their remaining 100,000 HP or less was almost impossible to remove as they were Rank 2 monsters . Even though their HPs were less than the raw damage value of the Black Dragon's Roar, one should not forget level suppression .
Draco could only negate this mechanic for Rank 1 monsters, but for Rank 2 and above monsters, the mechanic that increased the Rank 2 monster's damage while decreasing the damage received was still in effect .
Even Draco's absolute attack could not bypass this mechanic, so he was unable to kill any of the Rank 2 monsters, not even the Specialist Rank ones . No Private Rank monster could reach Rank 2, so the monster Ranking started from there .
Same thing happened with each successive Rank . At Rank 3, the minimum was Sergeant Rank . At Rank 4, minimum was Captain Rank .
Imagine how much of a joke it would be to see a Rank 7 Private Monster .
Not to mention the Rank 3 and Rank 4 monsters in the crowd . They barely lost 50% and 70% of their HPs respectively .
However, the multitudes of Rank 1 monsters were either disintegrated or had their orifices bleed out as the sound crushed their organs and mashed their brains .
Draco racked up so much experience in a few seconds that it was phenomenal . However, all that experience was severely cut down as his level was higher than most of the Rank 1 monsters currently .
Draco quickly funneled all his experience into the Guinevere's Necklace .
When he had drained more than 3,000% experience, which equated to 30 levels, he was sent back to level 20, which was where he started .
The experience he had accumulated from kills that had been awarded him was also distributed again, which sent him to level 31 . He quickly dumped those 11 levels worth of experience on the Epic item, hastening its transformation to Legendary Rank .
Right now, Guinevere's Necklace was 25,300% of 30,000% full!
Even though Draco had earned absurd amounts of experience this time, it was not enough to top off this Epic item .
Truly, creating a Legendary item was too hard . Draco had managed to get it this far because of the abusive actions he had made as a reincarnator, utilizing his knowledge to perform things that were so astounding that his rewards were extravagant .
He had gotten the first 4,400% experience from the Nightingale's Cry dungeon, 5,000% experience for creating the Semi-Epic Dragorugio sets, 2,000% for making the Dragon's Blessing potion and 10,000% for completing the Subjugation of the Paradise Lands, which had been a death quest with no hope of completion .
All of this was dumped onto the Epic item, with the exception of 200% experience since Draco needed that to reach level 10 .
Now that he was grinding experience through normal combat, the amount he earned was nowhere near the amount he gained from doing impossible stuff . It was clear that if he wanted to turn Pair Dadeni and Mjolnir into Legendary items, he would need to go back to his old ways once he submitted this quest .
After all, unlike the slightly weaker Guinevere's Necklace, those two required 50,000% experience to be leveled up! That was equal to 500 bloody levels, and the game's level cap was 400!
How was one supposed to gather all that experience and still progress in life?!
Draco watched as all the Rank 1 monsters, the almost limitless amount of monsters, were blown to bits . He knew that with the sheer amount here, he would definitely earn enough to level Guinevere's Necklace, reduce the pressure on his army and win this battle .
However, his face changed when he saw some Rank 3 and Rank 4 monsters rush to defend the weaker Rank 1 monsters . Draco's assault had killed off barely 25% of the Rank 1 monsters, but the rest were rescued by the higher Rank monsters .
This terrified Draco because it meant that the higher Rank monsters were no longer feral entities that snapped at anything they saw . They had the cognizance to protect their cannon fodder, recognizing their crucial relevance to winning this sudden conflict .
Of course, it didn't mean that these monsters were tactical geniuses, only that they had respectable intelligence mixed with their beastly instincts .
