Chapter 328

"It's right there in Kazuma's hand, that little plastic knife. Kazuma, are you done yet?" Aqua said, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Aqua, what nonsense are you talking about? How could there be anything like this?"

"Sigh, it's right in front of me." Aqua pointed at Satou Kazuma, who was stabbing himself with a plastic knife.

"..." Tonghua looked at Aqua with suspicion.

Has Aqua's brain been damaged by the Stupidity Halo?

"Ah, I can't take it anymore, Kamikaze!" As a goddess, Aqua's physical abilities were also extraordinary. After being hit dozens of times by the plastic knife, Aqua became even angrier and punched Satou Kazuma.

However, Satou Kazuma patted the spot on his body that was unharmed from Aqua's attack, and then continued to stab Aqua with the plastic knife without saying a word.

Aqua looked up and saw her own health bar; every time Satou Kazuma stabbed her, she would lose one drop of health.

"Purify!"

"Purify!"

"Kamikaze!"

"Flower Bird Wind Moon!"

When Aqua realized that no matter what attacks she tried, they couldn't affect Satou Kazuma who was wielding a radish knife, and her health was constantly dropping, while others couldn't see Satou Kazuma anymore, Aqua finally felt a sense of fear.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that this Miraculous Item couldn't harm the supreme god!" Aqua raised her hands in surrender.

"That's more like it." Satou Kazuma slowly removed the black hood he always wore.

"Hey, Satou Kazuma?" At this moment, Tonghua also noticed Satou Kazuma holding a radish knife.

"This is the God-Slaying Artifact you wanted. It has two forms. In this toy form, each attack can cause a little damage to the god, reducing its health by a small amount. Moreover, the maximum health cannot be restored before the attack ends. Although the damage is a bit low, the advantage is that the Artifact Wielder cannot be observed by any god other than the one being attacked, and it ignores any resistance from that god. As the number of attacks increases, it will cause the god to develop many negative emotions," Chen Li explained as he walked over.

"Pure torture, right? It's an interesting Miraculous Item, but it's way too slow."

"Slow results? Well, there are faster ways too. Come on, Kazuma." Chen Li gestured to Satou Kazuma.

"Okay." Under the watchful eyes of Aqua and the two Tonghua gods, Satou Kazuma bent the blade of the plastic knife back into the groove of the toy knife.

The next moment, countless blocks surged out from the hilt of the knife, until they transformed into a heavy, massive handheld chainsaw in Satou Kazuma's hand, radiating a blood-red glow.

"And its other form is called the Killing Form. As the name suggests, when the Miraculous Item is in this state, the user will enter the Killing Mode, bringing extreme fear to the gods. Each attack will add a layer of bleeding to the gods. One layer of bleeding causes one drop of health to fall per second for one second; two layers cause two drops of health to fall per second for two seconds; three layers cause four drops of health to fall per second for four seconds; four layers cause eight drops of health to fall per second for eight seconds; five layers cause sixteen drops of health to fall per second for sixteen seconds..."

The higher the bleed stacks, the faster you lose health. Plus, this is a chainsaw; each gear counts as an attack, and attacks cannot be recovered from. So you'd better pray you don't get in contact with this weapon for more than three seconds. After all, this chainsaw theoretically attacks 800 times per second, and you especially need to be careful..."

"Ouch!" Three screams erupted in front of the Adventurers' Guild.

Tonghua, Aqua, and Chris (whose true identity is Eris, the goddess of fortune), a thief who wanted to see how his friend Darkness was doing, all screamed at the same time when they saw the chainsaw in Satou Kazuma's hand.

The three scattered and fled. Satou Kazuma vanished instantly and reappeared behind Aqua.

"And you should be especially careful not to turn your back to the Artifact Wielder, otherwise he will appear behind you!" Chen Li shouted.

But Chen Li felt that he...

"Please, Kazuma, don't chase me!" Aqua screamed even louder as she felt the chainsaw sound coming from half a meter behind her.

Upon hearing Chen Li's words, Aqua turned around instantly.

Satou Kazuma vanished instantly and reappeared behind Aqua.

"Once you turn your back to the Artifact Wielder, don't waste time looking at them, because it's useless; they'll just reappear behind you. In short, you're done for the moment the Artifact Wielder is out of your sight," Chen Li continued.

"Ah!" Aqua screamed again.

However, Aqua had a sudden inspiration and leaned against the wall next to her.

"Standing against a wall is a good option, but never do it when you're extremely close to the Artifact Wielder, because they can choose not to teleport. And looking directly at the chainsaw at close range will instill even greater fear in you..."

"Chen Li, stop talking!" Aqua felt like the sky was falling, having precisely hit all the landmines in Chen Li's words.

"Alright."

"Aqua! Here I come!" Satou Kazuma's voice accompanied the roar of the chainsaw.

"Ah!" Aqua screamed again.

"Aha!"

"Aaaaaah!"

"Aha!"

Aqua's screams, accompanied by Satou Kazuma's grotesque laughter, echoed through the evening sunset.

"Hahaha." A familiar laugh rang in Chen Li's ears—it was Aha's voice.

Turning my head, I saw Aha bursting into laughter.

"I've given this Elation blessing to the right person. Satou Kazuma is a real talent. Although he's not exactly a comedian, he's a source of amusement from head to toe!" Aha said with a laugh.

"... Although Satou Kazuma spent 100 Starstones on the [Hero] attribute, his [Savage] attribute just surpassed the [Hero] attribute in brightness again. He'll probably never be able to escape the profession of Abusive Hero in his lifetime." Chen Li commented, watching Satou Kazuma chasing after Aqua with a savage laugh.

Money can't beat Schicksal.

Satou Kazuma is a sadist by nature.

What can we do?

Chapter 277 Jing Yuan: Trust in the wisdom of your successor... Fu Qing! Go and conquer Chen Li (10,000 words) "This Miraculous Item is called [God Must Die], which cost 86 Crystal. It is a very good One-star Artifact, almost one and a half stars. If God Slayer in the future, it may become Two-star Artifact."

"As for why it's so cheap? It's because of [Elation]. I added [Elation] to it."

Chen Li retrieved the [God Must Die] cleaver from Satou Kazuma's hands, who seemed utterly drained.

The "Elation" attribute is truly the best attribute Chen Li has ever seen for balancing the effects of Miraculous Item, bar none.

Positive terms, unlike Elation terms, can be detrimental.

Negative terms are not as useful as Elation terms.

The four keywords "God Slayer," "Elation," "Fear," and "The Hunt" are enough to create such an excellent Miraculous Item, and "Elation" deserves much of the credit.

The "The Hunt" entry also contributed significantly, providing this Miraculous Item with excellent tracking and hunting capabilities.

This is the advantage of dedicated entries: a single word can have multiple meanings.

That's why Chen Li is so fond of the exclusive entries for Flame-Chasers.

"I feel completely drained... Give me a Senzu Bean, please." Satou Kazuma's cheeks were sunken, as if he had been drained dry by a vampire.

"Give."

"Hahaha! Satou Kazuma, you've finally met your match?!" Aqua, who had been chased by Satou Kazuma with a chainsaw for a long time, immediately turned on her face and started mocking him when she saw him.

"..." Chen Li looked at the radish knife in his hand, and then at Aqua.

Oh well, it's fine if Aqua's IQ is a little low. We need her to lower the enemy's IQ anyway.

At least Aqua knew to wait until Satou Kazuma returned the Miraculous Item before mocking him, which was already quite good.

"I was so scared! I thought I was really going to die." Tonghua, who had run away incredibly fast, returned to Chen Li's side with lingering fear.

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, Satou Kazuma's target is definitely Aqua."

"That's true, but I was genuinely terrified at the time... By the way, does this Miraculous Item of yours really have no flaws?" Tonghua looked at the palm-sized radish knife in Chen Li's hand, her feelings complicated.

On one hand, this will be the weapon I use to kill the evil god, so the stronger the better.

On the other hand, Tonghua is also an evil god, and he feels that if this Miraculous Item is too powerful, what if it falls into the hands of others? Wouldn't he be unable to escape at all? Isn't it a bit too powerful?

In short, I have mixed feelings.

"You gods are so hard to please! You should all be killed!" Chen Li couldn't help but complain, seeing what Tonghua was thinking.

Too strong won't work, too weak won't work either... They're so hard to please! How about a multicolored black or a shimmering white?

However, this is only natural. Just like when people see something sharp, they might think about the possible consequences of being pricked by it.

"Don't say that, my concerns are just that—concerns... So, does this Miraculous Item have any drawbacks?"

"Do you really want me to say bad things about the weapon I forged myself? Is that so cruel? As expected, all evil gods should be killed!" Chen Li held a radish knife and looked at Tonghua with ill intent.

The Tonghua instantly surrendered.

"Let me rephrase my question: Are there any precautions to take when using this Miraculous Item?"

Tonghua plans to use some high emotional intelligence in her speech to solve the current problem.

"Yes. If you want to activate the Killing Form of the Miraculous Item, you need to attack the god in the toy form. Each attack allows you to use the Killing Form for one second. Once this cumulative usage time ends, you need to consume the user's stamina to continue using the Killing Form, which is 1% per second. That's why Satou Kazuma became weak so quickly."

Toy form is one of the effects of the Elation attribute.

It's fun, has little offensive power, but minimizes the cost of using this Miraculous Item.

"I see... Is there anything else?"

"Secondly, although the Killing Form theoretically attacks 800 times per second, the stronger the god, the slower the attack speed. To put it more vividly, the stronger the god, the harder it is, and the slower the chainsaw will cut when the blade is stuck in the flesh."

"Please don't use that metaphor!" Tonghua felt a chill run down her spine because of the metaphor Chen Li used.

"Finally, when facing God Must Die. The best way to deal with it is... I mean, you need to be careful not to let the opponent teleport to an extremely long distance, and to make sure that the opponent's back is against a hard object."

"As long as my back is against a solid object, it can't teleport behind me, and I can survive?"

"But have you forgotten our Miraculous Item for finding people— the Slap Gloves?"

"Oh... it seems that with this Miraculous Item and the Slap Gloves, no god can escape it." Tonghua was somewhat disappointed.

Just kidding.

"Sigh, can't this Miraculous Item be used with the Slap Gloves?"

"No, what I mean is, even without the Slap Gloves, if you stand with your back against a hard object, it will only teleport to your back and you still need to cut the hard object before it can attack you. But it can teleport to your front with a 10-second wind-up. Gods still have to die."

"Am I really going to die today?"

"... Get this straight, you're using Miraculous Item, not being chased by Miraculous Item." Chen Li patted Tonghua's head, wondering if he should use his Moe Ying Body to remove the negative effects.

The child seemed to be terrified.

"Ah? Oh. Sorry, I was just startled by the Miraculous Item." The Tonghua wasn't lying.

The fear of being chased still lingered in Tonghua's mind.

"It's only human nature."

"In that case, I will attack in my invincible form! I want to see rivers of blood!" Tong Hua reached out and took the radish knife from Chen Li's hand, a Tonghua smile appearing on his face.

"But this Miraculous Item does have one drawback: its toy form provides invincible protection to the user, but its kill form does not. In other words, the Artifact Wielder is Miraculous Item weakness."

While it's unlikely that a god would muster the courage to attack Artifact Wielder wielding a chainsaw, it is possible for a god to defeat Artifact Wielder.

The conditions are a bit demanding, but not entirely impossible.

So, newbies should just stick to using their toy form to whittle down the enemy's health. It's slower, but it's safer.

Upon hearing this, Tonghua's face fell.

Why is it that when I'm being chased by this Miraculous Item, I can't find any weakness in it, but when it's my turn to use Miraculous Item, I feel that it has weaknesses everywhere?

Is turning evil ten times stronger, while turning good weakened by three times?

"Chen Li, quickly upgrade this Miraculous Item!"

"That's not what you just said... and don't force people to do things you shouldn't!"

"I think the counter lady has a point. It's such a waste that a group of adventurers with extremely high Attribute Points would choose the worst adventurer class."

"But there's no way around it. The fact that adventurers can learn skills from each other as long as the other party is willing to demonstrate them a few times is just too appealing."

"Right? That's what everyone who chooses the adventurer class thinks, right? They can even learn each other's skills right in front of others."

"Although I was rated as a jack of all trades and master of none, once I got my Exclusive Profession, I wouldn't have this problem anymore. Besides, Loot Module can also provide skill experience, so I can just grind more monsters."

"..." Satou Kazuma silently wiped away his tears, not because he wanted to choose the adventurer class, but because the only option he could choose was the adventurer class.

I didn't choose the Adventurer class because I wanted this trait, but because I didn't have enough Attribute Points to take on other classes. I'm really sorry.

But... each version has its own meta!

This time... all other classes besides the adventurer class, you are the real challengers!
