Oracle Barrier

The Ride the Wind Sword streaked across the Tungsten Steel armor, leaving trails of sparks. The Starlight-level Third-Generation Power Armor's defense was simply too terrifying. Even with the terrifying damage from the Tian Gong Kai Wu and Overpowering Momentum, the overall damage was still not optimistic. The total damage of the entire combo was less than 50,000, which was far too little compared to Reck's 4 million!

"You bastard!"

The next second, Reck suddenly turned around and swung his Power Sword upwards, as if to split me in two!

"Boom!"

Fortunately, the Step Slash cooldown was quick. He instantly moved several steps to the side, took out the Explosive Gun, and fired a barrage at the man's head, emptying the magazine in one go!

"Beat!"

All around, Gun Like a Dragon and his men were not idle either. Everyone focused their fire on Reck's head, and countless bullets ricocheted off the enemy's hood.

Just then, several Blue BOSS dressed in mercenary uniforms appeared inside the tent, carrying Submachine Gun and breaking out!

"Ignore those useless advisors, focus fire and kill Reck!"

With a low roar, the Gun Like a Dragon, and said, "Reck's sword strike deals about 20,000 damage. Brothers with more than 20,000 health can get close, but you must run after taking one hit. You absolutely cannot take a second hit. The rest of you, keep a distance of more than 20 meters!"

"Watch out for Power Armor charges."

I frowned and said, "Those ground-hugging, thrusting attacks are extremely powerful. If you find yourself the target of their charge, immediately move sideways without hesitation. If you have a movement ability, use it. Moving sideways during their charge will give you a very high chance of dodging!"

"Damn it..."

Cai Cai, clutching Explosive Gun, fired Armor-piercing Round- piercing rounds continuously while retreating, her face contorted with rage.

Clearly, he was reminded of the Garden of Words, where Ye Zi died from Vega's Power Armor charge assassination. This incident had become a shadow in Cai Cai's heart, one that could never be erased.

In truth, isn't it also my shadow?

"Sizzle~~"

The Tian Gong Kai Wu vanished, and the last golden light fell on the connection point below the Power Armor backpack—the only weakness of this Generation 3 Armor!

I immediately marked the location and shouted, "Aim here with Armor-piercing Round- piercing rounds! Be mindful of your positioning and safety!"

With that, he switched magazines and fired the entire magazine of the Explosive Gun at the weak points.

"A bunch of damn bastards!"

Like a tiger surrounded by wolves, Reck's expression behind his mask was extremely ferocious. His power backpack suddenly emitted blue light, and he was coming again, heading straight for one of the Crimson Firmament Alliance's Firepower Specialist!

"Grass!"

The Firepower Specialist was quite strong. The moment Reck charged out, he didn't even bother with the big gun in his arms. He threw it away and rolled sideways along the ground!

"Whoosh!"

"MISS!"

A highly successful tutorial on avoiding damage!

"Beat!"

Holding the Explosive Gun, I unleashed Explosive Charge straight through the BOSS's body, arriving behind him. Coincidentally, the charge successfully stunned him!

Could it be that... the success rate of Explosive Charge is related to an individual's Overall Combat Level?

If that's the case, then it can be explained.

However, these are all speculations. Many settings in <Star Abyss> are hidden. Each system update only includes a few sentences, making it very mysterious. No one even knows if there is such a thing as an "official game". It's like a 100% real world, and the so-called game settings are just some kind of mysterious rules.

He turned around and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the connection point of the power backpack!

With a series of clanging sparks, the volley of fire from hundreds of elite players was no joke. With a resounding clang, the cable connection on Reck's back was finally destroyed!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~"

The electric current surged, and the next moment, just as Reck attempted to use the jump pack's jet propulsion ability, a "poof" sound, like a fart, came from the bottom of the jump pack.

Hahahaha~~~

Gun Like a Dragon laughed loudly, "His jump pack's propulsion has been interrupted, great!"

In this way, Reck lost his ability to sprint and kill at low altitude. As Third-Generation Power Armor, coupled with the advantage of height, he was indeed slightly faster than the players on the ground, but only slightly faster. After losing the ability to sprint and kill, it was almost impossible for him to launch a surprise attack on the players, since those present were all elite players.

"Concentrate your firepower and fire!"

I was also very happy, and I played a volley shooting game with everyone. Players from all directions aimed at Reck's hood and fired wildly!

"You..."

Reck was already enraged and brandished his Power Sword, but he couldn't kill anyone. Whenever he approached a player, as soon as my Explosive Charge + Cold Star Piercing Bone was off cooldown, I would immediately use a combo to control him. In this way, he couldn't kill anyone.

Players are using intense attacks, mostly scraping, but too much scraping can be deadly.

Six minutes after the volley of fire, Reck's health bar was depleted!

"Oh shit!"

The Chaos Demon King laughed, "Our boss fight was very skill-based!"

"How tall?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's about several stories high..."

Everyone laughed.

After the jump pack was destroyed, Reck wasn't as scary as he seemed. Even when he pulled out Explosive Gun and exchanged fire with the player, it was useless; he couldn't kill anyone instantly without his Power Sword.

"One more wave!"

Looking at his own Essence Points, which was almost full thanks to the Essence Furnace's rolling operation, he started with Tian Gong Kai Wu and Overpowering Momentum Force, followed by Explosive Charge and Cold Star Piercing Bone Control, unleashing a terrifying combo of damage on Reck's body. This time, he dealt a lot of damage, with the entire combo exceeding 70,000, directly emptying the opponent's last bit of health!

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Vice Leader of the Reck Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group (Orange BOSS) and obtained the item: 1 BOSS Ability Crystal!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the Vice Leader of the Reck Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group, Orange BOSS, gaining 420,000 character experience points. You also gained 210,000 Experience Points through extraction at the Essence Furnace!]

"Puff!"

With his hood slashed open, Reck's throat was sliced open by the Ride the Wind Sword, and blood gushed out. This Gene Warrior was not only tall, but also had extremely high blood pressure. The blood in his throat sprayed up to ten meters high!

He clutched his throat and knelt down, slowly collapsing. Explosions erupted from all parts of his body. Not only did the Generation 3 Armor self-destruct, but even the Power Sword's molecular propulsion system was blasted away, turning into many metal fragments.

"Comfortable!"

Xu Tian smiled slightly, "Hurry up and open the treasure chests, whoever gets an orange-tier item should treat everyone to dinner!"

"Open! Open! Open!"

Everyone else is opening treasure chests, so I'll open one too.

[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Bathing Fire Scepter] (Quality: Purple)!]

Purple scepter?

Not good, but not bad either.

After a brief pause, the detailed attributes of the scepter, which exuded a bewitching purple aura, appeared.

[Bathing Fire Scepter] (Quality: Purple)

Rank: Tier 3

Type: Spirit Scepter

Base Parameters: Psionic Attack 300-450, durability 300/300

Agility: +28

'It's alright...'

I frowned. This was the first time I'd ever gotten a psionic weapon. This thing was pretty good; it added a lot of Psionic Attack and also had a 4% Psionic Lifesteal effect, which was quite similar to the legendary "spell vamp".

"Has anyone gotten any orange gear yet?" the Chaos Demon King asked with a smile.

"No..."

Everyone shook their heads.

For a moment, Gun Like a Dragon, Xu Tian, and the others all looked at me. I had the highest damage output throughout the entire Orange BOSS fight, so my chances of getting orange-tier equipment should be the highest.

"Don't look at me like that, I only got a purple item too. Everyone has their unlucky moments..." I said speechlessly.

"Holy crap!"

Xu Tian pinched his nose and said, "Someone actually said that getting a purple item is considered unlucky. What kind of world is this? It's like they're trying to kill us all."

"Indeed, that's shameless," the Chaos Demon King agreed.

I then looked at the very well-behaved Kou Mei beside me and asked, "Kou Mei, what grade is your Psionicist main weapon?"

"Purple."

Kou Mei laughed and said, "It just opened!"

"Fine, then I won't give you this one."

"Yeah, boss, take it and sell it for money. Save up to get married in the future! Marry one in Star Abyss, and then marry another when we return to the real world!"

Wow, she really thinks of me.

At that moment, armored vehicles sped in from a distance; they were the troops Great Wall Watch.

From the crowd, a Senior Dragon Guard wearing Third-Generation Power Armor walked over. It was none other than Xie Zhuoyun, who had given us the orders earlier. He looked at the mess in the command post and the corpse of Reck from the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group lying on the ground, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He stepped forward, turned Reck's body over, and when he saw the face, he finally confirmed it and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect you to actually kill Reck, the vice-captain of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group! Excellent! Now the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group will be terrified, and we can sweep them away with Overpowering Momentum!"

The next second, the mission reward arrived!

[Congratulations! Your team has completed the battlefield mission "Assault: Dragon Slayer Mercenary Command Post" (Rank A). Rewards: 1.2 million character experience, 1200 Reputation Value, and an additional reward: "Oracle Barrier" (A-Rank Skill Tome)!]

Oracle Barrier?!

I frowned, opened my Dimensional Storage Space, and sure enough, I saw a pale golden Skill Tome lying there. As my gaze lingered, its detailed description floated out—

[Oracle Barrier] (A-Rank Skill Tome): Summons a shield to protect oneself. Its resilience is related to one's Mental Power and physical strength. Required level: 30. Required class: Light Priest.

It's actually a Tier 3 skill for the Light Priest! This skill is extremely rare, and very few people have it at this stage. The Light Priest is an abnormal class that combines strength and spirit. Not only can they wear Power Armor, but they can also use Explosive Gun people. When necessary, they can even unleash a Psionic Attack on their opponents. Once they learn Oracle Barrier, the Light Priest's survivability will undergo a qualitative leap!

In short, this book is valuable; keep it!
