Chapter 443
Chapter 443 - Completion Rate
After God’s Domain’s second evolution, skill use demanded far more of players .
Even experts needed a relatively long period to adapt to this new system .
As Shi Feng’s party searched for the exit in the Land of the Fallen Star, battles against the cavern’s inhabitants were unavoidable .
Fortunately, Shi Feng did not have to endure this adaptation process like everyone else . Activating most of his skills was second nature to him . He had no problems dealing with a few Elites and Special Elites .
As for Aqua Rose and the others, they used these monsters to practice .
It was especially true for melee classes like Fire Dance and Flying Shadow .
Currently, they each faced a Level 27 Elite ranked Wolfman Warrior, both of them activating their skills continuously as they fought .
Fire Dance brandished the Truefire Blades, drawing a red arc that cut across the Wolfman Warrior’s body . A flower of blood bloomed, and immediately, a damage of -2,749 appeared above the Elite monster’s head . However, to the Wolfman Warrior, which possessed 42,000 HP, this damage was nothing .
System: Eviscerate Completion Rate 56%, resulting in 69% of skill’s effect . Skill Proficiency +1 .
Glancing at the Combat Notification Window, Fire Dance frowned, feeling unsatisfied with her Completion Rate .
The Wolfman Warrior bellowed angrily . Lifting its war hammer, it slammed the weapon down on the Assassin before it . Turning her feet slightly, Fire Dance easily evaded the war hammer . Reversing the grip on one of the Truefire Blades, she spun around and shoved the blade into the Wolfman Warrior’s back, her movements as smooth as flowing water .
Backstab!
-2,523
“Ao!” the Wolfman Warrior howled with pain .
System: Backstab Completion Rate 69%, resulting in 83% of skill’s effect . Skill Proficiency +2 .
Fire Dance was far more proficient with Backstab’s movements than she was with Eviscerate’s, the Completion Rate of the skill reaching a whole new level . However, Fire Dance was still unsatisfied . If this were the past, even without weapons such as the Truefire Blades, she could easily dish out such high damage .
After practicing a few times on the Wolfman Warriors, Fire Dance understood how difficult it would be to adapt to the new combat system .
There were simply too many variables . The might of a player’s skill depended on the player’s Completion Rate . It was nothing like the previous system, where players could display 100% of the skill’s effect with every use .
Now, however, that was not possible…
If one did not perform the skill’s movements appropriately, the damage would be negligible .
Moreover, it was even more difficult to move successfully during battle .
Overall, combat was now three times as difficult as it had been .
Fire Dance had previously been able to solo one or two Special Elites, and she even considered challenging a Chieftain . Now, however, a Special Elite was too strong for her, much less a Chieftain .
Elsewhere, Flying Shadow was also sporting a serious frown . The more he fought, the more frustrated he became .
After some effort, Fire Dance had managed to raise her Completion Rate past 50% . Her Backstab had even reached a 70% Completion Rate . Flying Shadow, on the other hand, could only achieve 50% with Backstab, one of the simplest skills he possessed, and he had just barely earned the one Skill Proficiency point for the skill . As for his other skills, their Completion Rates were all below 50% .
Compared to Fire Dance and Flying Shadow, after spending some time practicing, the mages of the party could achieve relatively high Completion Rates . They had all reached 60% or higher with their skills . However, this was because the two had different methods of activation . When mages used a skill, they chanted incantations and traced runes . Some skills only needed a few hand gestures and simple incantations, so they were relatively easy to cast . Only, their current casting time was much longer than it had been . It was especially true for advanced spells .
While everyone practiced their skills, Shi Feng, who stood ahead of the party, conducted a massacre .
Faced with dozens of Wolfman Warriors, Shi Feng dashed forward and activated Thundering Flash .
One arc… Two arcs… Three arcs…
A total of five arcs of blue lightning tore through the Elite monsters, a series of frightening damages appearing above their heads .
-2,060, -2,706, -3,521, -4,543, -6,020…
Instantly, the dozens of Wolfman Warriors lost close to half their HP . Some that had received critical hits fell to critical lows . In addition, due to the Damage Amplification debuff of Thundering Flash, they would receive an additional 30% damage from future attacks .
And yet, the damages were nothing compared to Thundering Flash’s Completion Rate .
System: Thundering Flash Completion Rate 83%, resulting in 97% of skill’s effect . Skill Proficiency +3 .
Immediately after his attack, Shi Feng leaped into the air . As he raised the Abyssal Blade high, the power of lightning and fire emerged from the sword . He then slammed the weapon down towards the gathering of Wolfman Warriors .
Boom!
All of the Warriors within an area of 10*10 yards fell into a Fainted state instantly and received over -7,000 damage . Those that had received a critical hit suffered over -14,000 damage . The Wolfman Warriors with low HPs crumbled .
System: Thunder Flame Explosion Completion Rate 74%, resulting in 89% of skill’s effect . Skill Proficiency +2 .
The moment Shi Feng landed, he followed up with Chop, striking three Wolfman Warriors and dealing over -2,800 damage to each .
System: Chop Completion Rate 85%, resulting in 100% of skill’s effect . Skill Proficiency +3 .
In just a moment, Shi Feng had exterminated dozens of Wolfmen .
Standing at a distance, Aqua Rose and the others were tongue-tied after watching Shi Feng’s battle .
Every member of the party had personally experienced how difficult it was to achieve a high Skill Completion Rate . However, when they saw Shi Feng’s success, they felt nothing but shock .
As for Shi Feng’s feat of killing dozens of Wolfman Warriors, none of them really had anything to say about it . The Wolfman Warriors were merely Elite monsters . Everyone present could easily destroy them . Although they had trouble using their skills, their basic attacks were still very powerful thanks to their equipment . Dealing with these Elites was only a matter of time .
The reason for their shock was Shi Feng’s ability to reach a Completion Rate above 80%, yet after training arduously for the past four hours or so, they had only achieved above 50% .
Moreover, even when using Thunder Flame Explosion, the skill Shi Feng was least proficient with, he could perform a Completion Rate above 70%…
However, this was still not the most noteworthy aspect . Shi Feng’s casual use and chaining of his skills were what impressed them the most . How could they not be shocked?
“Guild Leader, can’t you just teach us how we can improve our Skill Completion Rates?” Aqua Rose envied and admired Shi Feng’s super-high Completion Rate .
“That’s right! It’s not like we’re demanding much! I will be satisfied if I can reach a 70% Completion Rate!” Blackie’s Completion Rate had given him a headache .
In the beginning, their Completion Rates had improved relatively quickly . Within half an hour, they had managed to achieve 50% . However, it had taken them over three hours to rise from 50% to 60% . Moreover, it only became more challenging to raise their Completion Rates the higher they went . By now, their Completion Rates had basically plateaued…
At around 60%, they could only display roughly 60% to 70% of their skill’s potential . If they could stabilize their Completion Rates at 70%, they could almost display their previous strength .
Only when a skill achieved an 85% Completion Rate could it manifest 100% of its effects . If the Completion Rate could rise past 85%, then the skill’s effect would exceed 100% .
If they could raise the Completion Rate of all of their skills past 85%, the combat power would surpass their previous selves .
Everyone eagerly looked forward to such a day . Unfortunately, they had no idea how to overcome the challenge of the new system .
“Do you guys really wish to know how to improve your Completion Rates quickly?” Shi Feng asked after tidying up the loot . He could not help but laugh as he looked towards his party members .
