Strength + Speed = Absolutely powerful
-Chapter 145: Strength+Speed=Absolutely Powerful- (4,000 words)
Swoossh!!!*
[Strength II: 5 seconds]
[Speed II: 26 seconds]
Breaking through the wind like a bullet, Har rushed in the direction that demon escaped from earlier, leaving a trail of smoke in his path, he knew that this would not be enough to hit his target before 5 seconds, so…
Puff!* Swiiiish!!!* Puff!* Swiiiish*
Bursting with purple particles, Har began to consume the energy of the Ending Crystal to teleport, opening his wings and teleporting into the sky to avoid the collapsing buildings, this allowed him to close the distance even faster.
With 4 seconds left for the potion's effect to end, Har saw a silhouette in the distance, it was in the center of a pile of rubble and seemed to be looking for something, then Har disappeared again and reappeared 400 meters closer to the target of he.
…
"Whooo….hooo…"
With a heavy breath, the necromancer demon had reached the location of his appearance, due to entering 'bloodlust' mode and forcing his body to the limit, the necromancer demon was tired to the bone, he couldn't bear this state any longer. But he knows that if he returns to normal he will lose all the strength in his body and he will fall down.
But, something was wrong with this place, he clearly came out of a portal right here, why can't he see anything but rubble?
The demon doesn't know it, but Mephisto was kidnapped in a bottle and all hell is falling apart, so how could the portals stay active?
This is why the devils can't go out to the human world anymore, and naturally, they can't go back to hell either, so they're locked in this world, it could be something unimportant before, maybe this would just be something good and fun for them, but now it is different, there is someone in this world who has his eyes fixed on them.
'...!!!'
As he hurriedly rummaged through the rubble, he suddenly felt something behind him and the demon turned around in an instant, his blood-like eyes fixed on a place in the distance, then, his pupils shrank and his whole body turned to stone. fear when seeing something, or in other words, someone terrifying that was approaching breaking the wind with terrifying speed.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the figure of an existence whose mere distorted silhouette made him tremble to the core of his bones.
That figure fell from the sky spinning on its own axis wrapped in a pair of wings that seem gigantic compared to its body, then, with a roar, it fell on the facade of a collapsed building and was thrown onto it, it seemed to have used a terrifying force. on his legs and the entire facade was sent flying right after.
Seeing how that existence took advantage of the momentum to shorten the distance by a hundred meters in an instant, the demon's senses told him that he could not continue fighting, instead, he should bow to the other party and beg for mercy, but right at that moment. At that moment, his expression slowly changed and fear and confusion began to be visible on his scaly face, because that figure suddenly disappeared, and almost at the same time, a voice was heard near him, shaking his body and soul.
"1 second."
With a burst of purple particles, the demon was further dismayed when he saw that terrifying figure appear a few meters away.
In front of him, Har already clenched his fist into his side and leaned into a simple and direct attack stance, arriving in front of the demon in an instant with his speed, and then..
"Kah!!!"
The demon gasped, Har punched straight into his stomach with all of his strength, even running with the demon being pushed by his fist as his arm stretched out.
Bam!*
When he finally stopped, a loud bang was heard and his opponent was thrown away by the great force of impact making all the surrounding wind turbulent.
Swooooosssh!!*
"0 seconds..."
Har said a few simple words nonchalantly, his body stopped emanating red smoke, and only the blue color remained, obviously, the effect of the strength potion had ended.
Woooosh!* Bam! Bam! Bam!*
The demon's body flew with incredible speed, smashing through the buildings that stood in his way as he advanced.
His body was like a missile that flew almost half a kilometer to finally get embedded in a wall.
His internal organs were destroyed, his spine and ribs were broken, his skull was severely damaged by the continuous blows as well as the vast majority of his bones, at this moment, blood flowed non-stop from all his orifices, the scales of His body was torn and his whole body is bleeding, but he was lucky, at least his horns seem to be intact.
Tump!*
At that moment, the demon's body began to fall from the wall and crashed to the ground, but his horns cushioned the fall, it's just that they cracked and seemed like they would break easily.
Crack!!* Tump!*
But then, the entire facade of the building where it had been embedded fell off, fell directly on the demon and his horns broke, being buried next to the demon under a pile of rubble.
…
Har saw this and was somewhat amazed.
"The effect of combining strength and speed after taking potions is amazing, it's just…"
Har's expression changed a little when he saw something in his field of vision, his energy, represented by virtual breads, had dropped by at least 80% by this point, but it was to be expected, even though potions don't have side effects, the The body must consume even more energy to be able to maintain a speed greater than what it can handle.
"It's still a good effect, fortunately, I made a good purchase during the novice test."
Har showed a slight smile and opened his inventory screen, he chose the last shulker chest in the second row and opened it in front, then, a stack of 24 green seeds appeared in the first space, everything else was apples for now.
Har took out one of these seeds and ate it, immediately, the virtual loaves began to restore at the speed of light until they were completely filled.
"The effect of this thing is still as magical as in the anime.."
Har said a little glad to have bought these things, obviously, they are the seeds of the hermit capable of recovering all the energy in an instant.
Not only did you buy these things in the rookie test, but they are even interpreted as game seeds on the first floor, so you can grow them in droves, it's a shame, when a bean plant grows from these seeds, only one bean It is born as a fruit of these plants and is replenished from time to time.
That is to say, they are the same as Minecraft watermelon or pumpkin plants, they can only bear one fruit at a time, when you harvest the fruit the plant returns to its original state and another fruit will grow after a while.
Getting only one hermit seed from each plant in harvest period seems a bit slow, but in fact it's different, the harvest period in Minecraft comes much faster than in the real world, and this also applies to the first floor.
Also, as long as you plant a bunch of seeds and grow them using bonemeal you should get a bunch each harvest period.
Back on topic, judging from this situation, Har believes that he can definitely take on an A-rank Runner focused on physical combat.
As for whether he can take on an A-rank mage with this strength alone, it may be possible, but he's not as sure as combatant runners of the same rank, he's already experienced it himself, magic abilities are infinite, unknown, and mysterious. .
Although runners in the 'Mage' class have a weak body and it would be impossible for them to keep up with their speed, there may still be a magical ability to stay away from the fighters, such as their own Teleportation, or even have summons to deal with experienced runners. in physical combat, like that Golden Saint he faced on the second floor.
According to Har's mentality, runners who choose to increase only one stat are sick in the head, but if that stat is not intelligence then it is even worse, in his opinion, intelligence is the essential to be powerful.
It doesn't matter if you're fast, there's no point if your blows are as weak as mosquito bites, it doesn't matter if you're strong, there's no point if your blows are unable to hit the opponent, it doesn't matter if you have an impenetrable body, you'll just become on someone else's punching bag.
So, increasing intelligence is the best after all, you can cover the weak points of the other attributes and even strengthen the defenses of magic.
Back on topic, Har still prefers to increase all of his stats and this is still the best option.
Putting that aside, he refocused on his current situation, the power he gets from combining the two potions is amazing, but only one is also good.
Not to mention the previously explained strength potion, the current speed potion II grants a 40% boost.
After entering the lower B rank, his speed jumped directly to 400 km/h, with the 40% increase he should be able to run at around 560 km/h.
If this is just the speed when you are in the lower B rank, once you reach A rank…won't you be close to reaching the speed of sound, even if that's not the case, you still have the potions to get a speed boost almost half, moreover, still remember their affair with the tenth floor.
Once he enters Terraria and obtains Terraspark's boots, combined with his natural speed and the potion's augmentation, running at the speed of sound would be child's play.
According to his memories from when he played this game long ago in his past life, if the player's speed is 24 km/h, wearing these Terra Spark boots can directly increase to 55 km/h, which is equivalent to a increase of more than 100%, for a reason they are known as the definitive boots.
Not to mention this speed increase, it also grants effects such as walking on water and other liquids, as well as immunity to lava for a few seconds, it also increases attack speed by 8%.
Thinking of this class of items with incredible effects and some that even grant special abilities, Har couldn't help but wonder if there is a way to save game on other floors.
After all, his own special function of him says that he can only be used on the first floor at the moment, maybe it's possible to save on other floors somehow.
If possible, he should definitely make Terraria a floor within this function, plus he is very curious, what will the tenth floor look like?
…
"I spent years collecting intelligence about the tower, just for this object, I sacrificed 5 years of my life researching and paying millions for information about this thing, no matter how small, but finally, it's finally in my hands."
In an old-looking room with a lot of books on the bookcases on the walls, a young man with blond hair, blue eyes and a white robe, smiled madly looking at an object in his hand, his eyes were bright with anticipation for his future later. to get this thing.
"Y-you, who…who the hell are you…bastard?"
Lying not far away, a fair-haired handsome young man with big muscles and wearing ancient-looking clothes said these words with difficulty as he tried to stand up with both arms, his nose and mouth were bleeding and he seemed to have been badly beaten.
Hearing this, the formerly cheerful white-robed youth changed to a cold expression, not bothering to see the British guy lying on the ground, but instead looked at a large figure standing by the door and said viciously.
"Principality observation, finish him."
As soon as these cold words came out of his mouth, the guy lying on the ground panicked a little and looked to the side in fear.
There, an angelic figure, like a 4-winged archangel-like armor, holding a large staff and a golden shield, was forced to bow due to his great height and the limitations of the room's ceiling.
Then, as if the young man's words were a supreme order, this armor held the great staff and struck the ground to the side naturally, but, this simple movement would be enough to make anyone faint, but not the young man's case. British on the ground.
"Ah!"-The young man yelled when he was hit and fell to the ground again, despite feeling unimaginable pain, only an expression of extreme hatred appeared on his face, then he raised his head and looked at the young man not far away, his The hateful expression had completely changed and he seemed very submissive and terrified.
"P-please, I beg you, l-let me live.."
The tone of the young man on the ground seemed to beg for mercy, only he knew the deep hatred he felt inside, even though the thing that stood next to him was very scary and unknown to this world, the young man could not bear that His pride was hurt like this, in his mind, he kept repeating all kinds of insults against this bastard who entered this place without permission.
'This bastard, he'll pay me, if I get out of this alive, I'll definitely find him and take my revenge!'
Despite having these thoughts, the young British man was smart, he knew that if these insults came out of his mouth he would die very soon, so he acted like a coward trying to get the guy on the other side to let him go, however…
Bam!*
"Ugh!"
The armor on the side hit his head again, he had no emotions and just followed his summoner's orders, since his task is to kill, surely he won't listen to anything else and will do whatever it takes.
"P-please.."-Even after being hit again, the young man still had strength and tried to stretch out his arm, however.
Bam!* Bam!* Bam!*
The armor paid no attention to his pleas, just continued to slam the staff against the head of the guy on the ground like a robot following orders.
It is seen that the strength of this summon is not that overwhelming, despite belonging to the high levels of the Overlord floor, it seems that it does not have the power of the original Principality Observation summon, although this one focuses on defense, it would certainly have the strength to crush a human head with ease.
Regarding the identity of that white robed young man, he is undoubtedly wearing an item that makes him easily recognizable, that is a golden cross hanging from his right ear, Har would be surprised if he saw this guy as if he were meeting a ghost, because it's the Golden Saint Runner that he killed on the second floor.
After looking at the guy on the ground bleeding to death and begging for mercy, as the armor struck him with his staff over and over and over again, the cold expression on the face of the young man on the cross did not show the slightest change or hesitation, then he turned his gaze and paid attention to an open book on the desk in front of him.
In the book, more like a researcher's journal, there are several drawings that look like instructions or something similar, the expression of joy on his face was visible again when he discovered this.
"All the time and money I invested for the second floor went down the drain, but this can certainly make up for it..."
The young man said this and his expression changed to extreme anger as he remembered the second floor, he had paid a lot to research the second floor and the magical artifact capable of killing anyone, still, he couldn't get the artifact and everything fell apart. lost, even his nephew Joseph was unable to find this thing for some reason.
That's right, since Noah missed his target on the second floor, he gave all the collected information to Joseph to steal the artifact with his abilities, this important information wouldn't be given to a stranger after all, I didn't expect it, this The guy came back with no result, he didn't even get a tower rating, all under the excuse that he fought with the notebook holder and was almost killed by some strange power.
Joseph hid it for fear of being punished, but he didn't fight with Light Yagami at all, what's more, he didn't even find it, the reason he couldn't get the Death Note was because he wanted to stand out from everyone in the family, so that he chose the new third side, which everyone says is impossible to complete, but he thought that by doing so he might get unexpected benefits.
He wouldn't choose him if he knew that as soon as the tower sent him to the second floor, he actually appeared somewhere in the United States and it was impossible for him to follow in Noah's footsteps.
It seems that the tower would do this so that the Runners who choose the third side start their path as Shinigami here, without being able to leave the United States in any way, Joseph could only try to complete the mission of the third side, but how would it be possible? ?.
How the hell would he get everyone to recognize him as a Shinigami? How to go to the world of Shinigami and defeat the king? Furthermore, what the hell is a Shinigami supposed to be? Without getting any answers, Joseph could only walking through the United States sad and disappointed in life.
As for Noah's raid on the second floor, he wasted too much time trying to get the magic notebook peacefully, mostly because his information about this thing was still not enough and he didn't know everything about its power.
Perhaps the notebook holder has powerful unknown attack methods, but he was too hasty and his greed for power overcame his own calm.
Still, he believed that the holder of the notebook would be unable to kill him, not because he had confidence in his strength, but because he was carrying an item that gave him a second life.
He didn't expect it, a bloody bastard came out of nowhere getting in the way of his actions, so they had an arduous fight and finally he was killed by that guy, for better or worse, the so-called Immortality Totem on his neck exerted its power and returned him to life.
The worst thing is that later he found out, the identity of the guy who killed him on the second floor was exposed by his brother, because of this he went into a state of fury like never before, because that guy was his bastard nephew, the half-breed son who his sister had with a simple employee who did not belong to the family.
At this moment, Noah's face was filled with anger as he remembered that bloody bastard, he not only threw his second floor plan into the trash, but even forced him to use the one-use resurrection power.
When he found out that that bastard was actually his sister's son, Noah exploded with rage and almost took a flight to Saint Ronnia City to murder that bastard and his bastard brothers, only stopped by Kasirc's warnings, after All in all, Steve had shown incredible power.
That's right, the reason why Noah can know Har's identity when he murdered him on the second floor is simple, although they already knew that Har calls himself Steve in the tower, obviously they had never seen his avatar, so it would be impossible. for Noah to know that he was killed by his nephew.
However, everything changed during the rookie test, Har used his own alias during the martial arts tournament and everyone in Xcountry witnessed his appearance, although it was only his avatar and no one could know his true identity, the Jubileus family already knew his alias from Rain's information, he was immediately linked to the Steve who activated the special function on the second floor, that is, Ruth's bastard son.
Since this Steve looked exactly like the guy who murdered him on the second floor, Noah knew immediately that this guy was Harius Davius J.
Although Kasirc, Noah and his nephew Martin realized this, they preferred to keep the secret between themselves for obvious reasons, they did not want this news to spread in the family, after all, the mere existence of Har and his brothers is taboo. for jubilees.
For this precise reason, Joseph was still obsessed with proving that he is better than the rookie Steve, despite not knowing that he is his brother from another mother, he gained recognition as his rival in this generation or something like that. .
Regarding Kasirc's warnings to Noah, the reason is obvious, the power Steve demonstrated in the tournament is not something a rookie should have, be it his strength, speed or magical abilities, all above C rank, this is Pretty scary knowing it's been less than a month since he entered the tower.
Furthermore, Martin mentioned that this guy possesses a long-distance teleportation ability, which immediately made him a dangerous enemy for the Jubileus family and the Saint guild.
Finally, and most importantly, it is the news about the pillars found by the Russian government, according to the information obtained, these pillars came out of the ground as if by magic and it is said that they contain in detail the Runners with the highest qualifications in the tower. There were even two ratings that remained hidden until now, this news alone is enough to make a huge impact in the world, however, there is something even more shocking, that is Runner Steve who got an SSS rating.
This news shocked the world and absolutely every guild and family wanted to meet this Steve, it is too unreasonable that in 5 years only he was able to get this hidden qualification.
On the other hand, the most shocked were Kasirc, Noah and Martin, who knew the true identity of this Steve, above all, the fact that this Steve is now an enemy of the family made the three of them raise their danger level to the extreme. .
Even Kasirc, as the greatest force in the entire guild and one of the strongest in the entire country, almost immediately put a price on the head of Har and his brothers in the unreliable assassins guild, i.e. Forgotten Labyrinth, even so, the important thing was to know his location since he seemed to have vanished from the world after his encounter on the south coast of Saint Ronia.
It doesn't matter if he's your sister's son, he was just the fruit of a stupid affair with a worthless nobody, they've already been shown enough mercy by letting them live so far, but now that they've become a threat, you have to get rid of them. regardless of Ruth's opinion.
"No matter how strong that boy is…once he uses this, everything in the world can be under the Jubileus family, God's chosen ones."
With a slightly crazy smile, Noah's expression seemed eager and full of greed for the power of the item in his hand, Har would recognize this thing immediately, that's a strange looking stone mask belonging to the first generation of JoJo's.
As for the blond guy on the floor, who should have been dead by now, that's obviously the main villain of this story, the insidious and ungrateful blond Dio Brando.
