Chapter 286: 286
While Clarent dealt with the Silent Spinners, Qiong Qi also unleashed his rage upon the Lithe Stalkers and the Killer Boars . They had drawn the short end of the stick with more potent debuffs like \u003cWeakened\u003e and \u003cDecaying\u003e, which allowed Qiong Qi to go wild .
Of course, not all of them had this, only about 20% of the encirclement . The rest had varying debuffs, some useful in the situation and some useless, like \u003cThirsty\u003e or \u003cHungry\u003e .
However, it was enough for Qiong Qi . He quickly slapped away the stronger ones of the lot and pounced on those with the \u003cWeakened\u003e and \u003cDecaying\u003e status .
The fact that they had been successfully weakened meant that their stat and damage/defense suppression was useless on him . He was able to deal upwards of 10,000 damage per swipe now!
Qiong Qi was a muscular lion and was significantly larger than the sleek panther-like Lithe Stalkers as well as the Killer Boars . As such, he bit into a Lithe Stalker's back and raised it off the ground, tossing it left and right in his mouth .
Its skin was broken through and its flesh was ripped apart by Qiong Qi's brutal assault . It was one of those with the \u003cWeakened\u003e status, so it couldn't fight off this grapple .
Every toss took away 30,000 HP of the Lithe Stalkers life, and in less than half a minute, it was killed and tossed away like rubbish . Qiong Qi smiled widely and captured another one in a similar manner, repeating his act .
This time, he multitasked by leaving the stalker in his mouth and using his claws to attack the others . Even though he wasn't swinging his head about, his sharp movements as he attacked the other monsters was good enough .
In essence, he was dealing 30,000 damage to the Lithe Stalker in his grip while dealing 10,000 to the various Killer Boars and Lithe Stalkers with his claws .
This was efficiency in its truest form .
Draco saw that his skill had given his allies breathing room, so he could focus on his own quarry . They too had been struck by the debilitating debuff, so their power how dropped .
The Ferocious Chargers also suffered greatly, and their numbers began to drop further . The Long Snappers, however, were even worse off, with the still present bloodline suppression and the debuffs that were unblockable .
Draco had much more breathing room now, so he could check his progress . He had gained 12,985% experience from the Ferocious Chargers he had killed so far, as well as the remainder from those Qiong Qi killed .
Unlike players or NPCs, mounts and combat pets did not gain levels . They had static stats and skills per Rank, and they only grew with their owner Ranked up .
So, whatever they killed would be counted as their master's kill, only that it would be slashed by 70% unless they had a Beast Tamer class .
The amount was still great, but not if one accounted for the fact that Draco was currently fighting above his Rank . The few Rank 2 monsters he had killed had given him so much only for it to be taken away .
Even worse, those Qiong Qi and Clarent had killed were even lower than those he killed himself, making it almost negligible . This Divine Class was determined to stunt his growth no matter what .
Draco went from level 23, 45% to level 36, 43% . He gained 39 stat points this time, of which he put 11 into Strength to bring to 100, 20 in to Dexterity to bring it to 100 as well, and the last 8 points he put into Endurance, bringing it to 88 .
With his two key stats being brought to 100, Draco instantly felt the difference in his whole body . He felt like his form had grown by three times the size with three times more muscles, and that his legs and arms had become three times more agile than before .
Both were just illusions of power, as no real changes occurred externally . However, his damage out and his speed had changed immensely .
Dexterity decided one's ranged damage as well as one's movement and attack speed . With it being brought to 100, Draco benefitted from a 2x effect on his stats output instead of the 1 . 5x he had gained after reaching 50 points .
It seemed like a small boost, but small boosts in an RPG with wuxia-like combat could make all the difference . The damage of Sonic Wave hadn't increased and neither had its range, but the raw damage when the arrow struck his foes went up to 3,000!
Alas they were Rank 2 enemies, so his damage and defense were lowered by 30% while theirs was increased by 30% . Otherwise, he could be dealing 12,000 or more damage, but the Rank suppression, as well as their natural steel like armor, reduced that greatly . He still had a significant stat suppression due to the level difference, but his increased level managed to shorten the gap .
Now, with his passive skill from the Heart of the Woods that boosted his stats by 30%, he was suppressed by only 10% . Draco was now able to fight somewhat competently instead of having to pull out various means .
Draco was not limited by this alone though . He also activated subjective magic and manually infused his arrows with a fire effect . So instead of relying on the active skill, Draco could fire out flame arrows with every shot .
The Worldly Energy required for this was minuscule, but with the amount of shots he fired per second, it would have drained his Willpower completely in 3 minutes had he not gained the Devil's Guile passive .
With it, he could fire without end, as if he had an infinite amount of fire arrows . When he saw that this was having a cumulative effect on his targets, Draco realized that he found a new foundation for techniques .
