Chapter 781: Defense Of The Ancients 2

As Draco and Shangtian faced off, a new wave of creeps came over to affect the fight. Since Shangtian was closer to Draco's tower, he got suppressed by the new arrival, though the shots of the first tower were naturally far more devastating.

Still, with four more minions who shared Draco's burden while Shangtian's own batch was still fighting in the shallow river at the middle, the Origin Prime eventually realized the danger and regained his sanity.

He gritted his teeth and retreated unwillingly, despite his eyes telling Draco how badly he wanted to wring his neck. The Abyssal Prime calmly watched him leave without chasing.

Since he did not have active skills yet, it would be difficult to take down Shangtian. Of course, it was just as tough for his opponent to take him down as well. The most important thing was that Shangtian would only have this advantage for a very short period of time.

As Draco leveled up, his stats would grow exponentially. The him at level 10 would be leagues more powerful than his current self, so Shangtian would only face more pressure in the future. It may seem that they were equal now, but hehe…

Draco followed his creeps and came back to the fighting area. Without saying a word the two had come to the silent agreement to stop their game, no longer denying the other creeps as both focused on last hitting in order to build up cash and experience.

A short time later, the two hit level 3 almost simultaneously and upgraded a new skill.

?Name: Draco

Class: Level 3 Abyssal Prime

Exp: 205/300

Health: 5,090/5,090

Mana: 1,690/1,690

Damage: 580 - 590 (Sword)

Armor: 70 (Medium)

_______________

Strength: 260 (Primary)

Agility: 230

Skills: Draconic Regeneration (I), Demonic Might (I), Devil's Guile, Demon Form.

Inventory: Angel's Kiss Vial (3), Excalibur Blade.?

?Name: Demonic Might - Level 1

Type: Passive

Description: With the strength of Demons, your current damage and armor are doubled. Strength and Agility are boosted by 100 points.

Duration: None

Cooldown: None.?

Draco's power grew exponentially in such a huge amount that he was almost an entirely different person compared to a few seconds ago. Due to the function of the floor, he gained 30% of his min stats base amount per level, and 15% for his other two stats.

With base stats of 100 in each area, this meant his Strength increased by 30 points while Agility, as well as, Intelligence would go up 15 points.

For each level his HP would go up by 570, while his damage by 30 points, and the same was true for his Health regen. His Armor would go up by 2 points each level, and his attack speed by 15%. Lastly, his Mana would go up by 195 points, while his MP regen would go up by 15 points each level.

So why were his stats so bonkers? Well, his new passive skill, Demonic Might granted him a whole 100 points in Strength and Agility!

This changed a lot of his stats and how they were exponentially calculated. 100 points of Strength meant 100 points of damage, 100 points of HP regen, and 2,470 points of health added on to what was already there. 100 points of Agility meant 14 points of Armor and 100% boost in Attack Speed.

And then, Damage and Armor were directly doubled by the same skill after that, which led to the current numbers.

As for hidden stats, Draco had 260 points of base Health Regen plus 200 hundred from the Draconic Regeneration skill per second, making 460. He had a base MP Regen of 130 that was not augmented yet. His Attack speed was 260% and his movement speed was 130%.

Draco did not rush over to attack Shangtian, although on the basis of pure numbers it seemed like he could kill the fellow. Alas, although Shangtian's in-game stats might be shite, his bloodline potency was still there.

Otherwise, the current Draco would quickly one-shot him or overwhelm him with speedy attacks per second. As stated before, Shangtian at his full power could survive having a nuke dropped on his head. Draco was gonna need a LOT more power to deal with him.

Duration: None

Cooldown: None.?

After all, it was not like Shangtian was completely hopeless. Since his skills were also taken from his bloodline, it was natural that their effects would be really good. It was just that they could not compare to what Draco himself had.

Now that the Abyssal Prime's damage was so high, he could practically one-shot creeps while Shangtian needed four or five hits to achieve the same feat. As you could imagine, Shangtian was immediately placed under extremely high pressure.

Before he could kill one of Draco's creeps manually, his enemy had already cleared his batch totally. Of course, he didn't stop there, and continued pushing towards the enemy tower and attacked it along with his creeps.

?Name: Level 1 Spirit Tower

Health: 1000/1000

Mana: None

_______________

Damage: 70 - 90 (Projectile)

Armor: 20 (Fortified)?

It was disgustingly easy to deal with the first tower. Even with 20 armor, each of Draco's strikes dealt around 390+ points of damage. Before Shangtian's next batch of creeps could arrive, the first tower fell.

?Battle Arena Announcement

Draco has destroyed a tower. +300 gold!?

Shangtian cursed deeply and retreated hastily. Draco slowly gave chase and noticed that he had leveled up once more, placing one more skill point.

?Name: Draco

Duration: None

Cooldown: None.?

Draco might have many skills and abilities at his disposal, but none were more useful or OP than the three passives that had come with his Divine Class.

With this new one, not only had his build been evened out, but his mana had grown explosively. Though he had no actives to make use of this, there were many items in the store that came with active skills attached. With that in mind, Draco let the creeps go forward while he checked his gold.

He had around 1500 gold coins. He immediately bought the Clarent sword and the Knight Emblem which cost 300 and 500 coins each. The Clarent Sword increased attack speed by 15% and granted 6 points of fire damage per strike while the Knight Emblem increased armor by 15 points and decreased respawn time by 25%.

Together with the Excalibur Sword the three items combined to form the Seal of Camelot. The Seal of Camelot granted 30% damage boost to sword type damage users, increased attack speed by 20% and allowed a player to enter invulnerability for 2 seconds when reduced to 1 HP.

Draco prompted his courier to rush over with the items before he focused back on what he was doing. He noticed that Shangtian had already used the superior firepower of the second tower to clear the troops and was rushing over with a new batch of creeps towards him.

Draco sneered and didn't retreat, meeting them head on. Even with 5 creeps and Shangtian attacking, he had enough HP to weather it all. He ignored the strikes on his body and cleared the creeps with 5 hits, then began attacking Shangtian himself.

The fellow was shocked by Draco's damage output and how much of his Bloodline Energy it cost to keep him afloat compared to before. Shangtian finally understood the terror of Draco in this match, that with every level up, his foe would only grow stronger.

Shangtian eventually broke and retreated, planning to abandon mid and gank one of the other lanes in order to improve himself. He gave Draco a death stare as he left, while Draco looked back boredly.

His next wave of creeps soon came over and he besieged the second level tower with them.

?Name: Level 2 Spirit Tower

Health: 1300/1300

Mana: None

_______________

Damage: 90 - 110 (Projectile)

Armor: 20 (Fortified)?

It wasn't much stronger than the one that came before, so Draco dispatched with it eventually while working with his creeps. With two towers down, Draco now had enough gold to get another item he was aiming for.

He bought the High Iron Sword which gave him +25 points of damage, the Blood of a Dragon which gave +15% HP and MP regen and the Divine Essence of a Dragon which gave + 30 to all stats, all three combined to form the Dragorugio Sword.

The Dragorugio sword granted Draco an attribute change, which was from elementless sword damage to Destruction type sword damage. Destruction type sword damage in this game mode meant that when struck, the enemy would instantly be emptied out of all mana and cannot regen HP during the fight and even after for about 30 seconds.

It did not boost damage, as that would to be too unfair given its effects. The Dragorugio sword also didn't add any other effects apart from that, since it was more than enough to turn Draco into a top-tier player killer even if he had average stats and no bloodline.

Draco naturally leveled up once more and followed his creeps to the last tower. He made sure to ping that Shangtian had left the mid lane to his allies, otherwise someone might get ambushed. After that, he checked his upgraded level and allocated points.

?Name: Draco

?Name: Draconic Regeneration - Level 2

Type: Passive

Description: Your have a base health and mana regeneration of 400 points per half a second, activated at all times. Every level increases the base amount and reduces the regeneration time.

Duration: None

Cooldown: None.?

Now, Draco regenerated 810 HP half of every second, which meant 1620 HP per second. With his total of 6,230 HP, about 4 seconds was enough to bring him back to full health from almost empty!

This was honestly quite crazy to think about. Draco could literally solo towers with his current Armor and HP regen! He only needed to stand there and give the tower a few whacks with his blade.

When it retaliated, Draco only had to puff out his chest and laugh like All Might. Then he would connect the strengths of his previous 5 incarnations and punch out with maximum force, going above and beyond!!

The tower would then be blown into the air like a cannon and break through a glass dome, going into outer space while steam escaped Draco's lips.

Thinking up such a fantasy, Draco was terribly excited. He quickly rushed over to the third the tower and planned to execute order 66 upon it.

However, he was topped cold by a notification from the game as well as a shout.

FIRST BLOOD!!
