Chapter 1021: Beaten Down
"Hm!?"
"How is this possible!"
The Holy Light Guardian was in utter disbelief!
Originally, this life-saving skill of his was supposed to restore 100% of his HP.
But after casting it, it only restored five percent!?
That meant the healing effect had been suppressed by 95%!?
This...
The Holy Light Guardian was completely dumbfounded.
However, before he had time to figure out what was going on, an extremely dangerous sense of death suddenly surged in his mind.
"Danger!"
His exceptional danger perception was crystal clear—deadly threat was approaching.
Not good!!
The Holy Light Guardian abruptly saw that human figure had already leapt high into the air, entering his vision, with the Breaker Spear raised high, preparing to hurl it straight at his head!
Good grief!
He was aiming for a headshot!
The key was—the opponent was way too fast!
So fast that the Holy Light Guardian couldn't even react!
No, something's off!
How could a class-transferred player from the lower realm be this terrifyingly strong?
From the start, he'd been suppressed ruthlessly!
He was a level 300 powerhouse!
Even if he'd been assimilated into the power structure of the lower realm, he shouldn't be this weak, right?
But the worst was yet to come…
Seeing Ling Zhan leap up, about to throw the war spear at him.
Normally, the Holy Light Guardian would raise his Golden Holy Sword to clash with it.
At the same time, he'd unleash various explosive damage skills to crush the enemy.
But…
Just as he raised the Golden Holy Sword…
The Holy Light Guardian suddenly realized he had been silenced at some point!
Above his head hovered a silence debuff lasting 2 seconds!
Hmm…
He should be thankful that his level was so high that it granted him partial resistance to debuffs.
Ling Zhan's silence skill normally inflicted a 10-second silence.
But on this Holy Light Guardian, it only lasted two seconds.
Still, no problem…
Even if it only lasted two seconds, Ling Zhan had high mana and a short cooldown!
That meant the skill 'Mute' could be spammed endlessly!
Two seconds end? Then here's another two seconds!
Though the Holy Light Guardian was strong, he was, after all, a class-transferred player.
And as such, combat relied on class skills.
Combat technique alone wasn't enough—you needed class skills to match.
But now the Holy Light Guardian was horrified to discover the two-second silence was being constantly refreshed.
Even if the cast bar barely moved, it'd get reset immediately.
He couldn't even use 'Block'!
"Why!"
He roared out.
This human was an absolute freak!
Weakening his stats—fine.
But his attacks could even ignore defense!
And the attack effects suppressed healing!
Now he's being infinitely silenced with two-second refreshes!
This left his Warrior class unable to cast even a basic 'Block'!
With all these limitations stacked on, the Holy Light Guardian could only struggle to raise his Golden Holy Sword in front of him, attempting to block the incoming spear throw.
He'd already made up his mind.
As long as he blocked the attack, he'd immediately retreat to create distance!
Reset the tempo!
Because right now, the pace was fully in the opponent's hands!
The Holy Light Guardian could clearly feel that his entire rhythm had fallen apart, and every move of his seemed completely predicted.
Absolutely absurd!
But…
That was just wishful thinking.
He never expected Ling Zhan would give him any chance to retreat.
Ling Zhan had already activated the 'Blood Offering' skill.
He was clearly aiming to kill in one combo.
Now that the enemy had finally fallen into his rhythm, how could he possibly let him go?
Boom!!
Without any hesitation, he hurled a 'Piercing Deaththorn' at the Holy Light Guardian!
The moment the war spear touched him, it triggered a massive explosion!
The impact sent the Holy Light Guardian flying backwards!
His HP dropped another 40%!
But before the Holy Light Guardian could regain his footing, Ling Zhan was already on him again!
'Inch Punch'!
He punched directly into the Holy Light Guardian's body.
At the same time…
The long-lost skill 'Clothes-Bursting Art' activated!
This overpowered system-rewarded skill could shatter the enemy's gear as long as it touched their body or equipment!
No need to explain how important gear is to a class-transferred player.
When you play a game and strip off all your gear, you probably can't even handle a single dungeon mob.
The four pillars of a class-transferred player: talent, skills, gear, and stats.
Now the Holy Light Guardian's talents and skills were unusable due to silence.
His gear had been destroyed by 'Clothes-Bursting Art'.
His stats were being crushed by 'Weakness' and 'Divine Judgment'.
And most critically…
His passive healing had zero effect.
So if you add it all up…
Ling Zhan beating down a level 300 Holy Light Guardian without exaggeration.
If you're getting crushed on all fronts and still manage to win, then the Holy Light Guardian should be the protagonist instead.
Devoid of all support, the Holy Light Guardian let out a wail.
"No!!"
But Ling Zhan showed no mercy.
Meanwhile…
Meng Shuang, Chang Yue, and Yun Man—the three divine beast girls—were still watching from the sidelines.
When they saw a level 300 Holy Light Guardian being completely overwhelmed by their master, they exchanged glances, stunned.
Even though they were used to their master's strength…
This kind of strength still utterly dominated even a level 300 powerhouse. Completely insane!
"Feels like Master doesn't even need us to step in…"
Chang Yue smiled helplessly.
Meng Shuang scratched her cheek with her small hand and said, "Feels like the three of us are just trinkets hanging on Master's thigh…"
"No need to feel—we are!"
Yun Man was brutally honest.
"It's coming to an end…"
At this moment.
Chang Yue noticed the Holy Light Guardian's HP had dropped below 10%.
And he was still getting beat down.
Honestly speaking…
The Holy Light Guardian lasting this long was already impressive.
Anyone else under Ling Zhan's full-power combo probably wouldn't last even three seconds.
But no matter how long he held out, it was useless.
There was no turning this around.
Three seconds later, Ling Zhan landed the final blow.
That war spear effortlessly pierced through the Holy Light Guardian's massive head.
