Dark Druid?
Qin Tian's eyes flashed. Druids are a rather peculiar race within Elf Star; they are not elves, but coexist alongside them as highly trusted partners of the Elf Race.
Druids are naturally born with the ability to use transformation techniques, allowing them to change into various animal forms, some of which possess very special abilities.
As for Dark Druids, they are ordinary druids transformed by evil energy, possessing a more robust physique than typical druids. Some beast forms also mutate, making their combat power comparable to Dark Elves of the same tier.
Boom!!
Evil energy surged across the surface of the Black Panther, and the aura it released made Qin Tian and Alan feel a sense of oppression.
"Be careful, it's a Tier Five Dark Druid."
Alan's face slightly changed as he loudly warned.
"Got it!"
Qin Tian raised his hand, ready for a shot. However, the Black Panther anticipated his move and dodged the shot with a kick of its hind legs.
Once a sniper is exposed to the enemy's view, the advantage of sniping is lost entirely.
"I'll hold him off. Find your position."
After battling together for so long, Alan was already familiar with Qin Tian's fighting style. He gripped his treasure sword and rushed directly to engage in a close-quarters fight with the Black Panther.
Swish swish swish
Several sword strikes with sharp piercing power were unleashed, but the Black Panther's sleek fur seemed like steel under the enhancement of evil energy, seemingly indestructible.
"Wu~"
With a push of its hind legs, the Black Panther suddenly burst out an impressive speed, its claws scraping past Alan's chest, yet the evil energy was knocked down by a beam of white light. However, the sharp claws left several slashes across Alan's chest, exposing his skin, almost translucent and fair.
Bang!!
A bullet shot down from above, piercing the evil shield. The aim was originally at the eye, but the Black Panther's reaction was too fast; it dodged within that fraction of a second.
"Such quick speed."
Qin Tian stood on a branch, his body completely blending into the darkness of the tree's shade, not leaving a single trace of aura exposed.
He had used Shadowstrike at full power with that last shot, simultaneously activating the Burning Embers Critical Strike. By rights, it should be enough to pose a threat to a Tier-Five powerhouse.
However, the Black Panther's reaction was too swift, and the bullet's lethality fell short, causing the shot to fail.
Ding ding ding
Below, Alan and the Black Panther were fighting fiercely, but judging from the combat scenario, Alan was constantly on the verge of danger, unable to keep up with the Black Panther's speed.
Thankfully, he seemed to be wearing some kind of artifact that prevented him from being injured.
It's time to ramp things up.
Qin Tian squinted, his Shadowstrike had been modified by the Rune Master, so it was now in its strongest state. If he wanted to further enhance the bullet's lethality, he would have to approach it differently.
Invest 100,000 Evolution Points to enhance the talent Burning Embers Critical Strike
The deep blue light orb vibrated violently. Shortly thereafter, a trace of purple emerged, quickly transforming the entire orb to purple.
[Name] Celestial Destiny Critical Strike (Purple)
[Type] Active Talent
[Introduction] Burns up to 5% of will, physical strength, and energy to infuse the Power of Destiny into the next attack, with attack probability triggering multi-tier critical effects:
· Basic Critical: 80% probability to cause 300%-400% damage;
· Rare Critical: 15% probability to cause 400%-600% damage;
· Epic Critical: 4% probability to cause 600%-800% damage;
· Legendary Critical: 1% probability to activate ultimate destiny effect, causing 800%-1000% damage.
Evolution Characteristics: If Celestial Destiny Critical Strike successfully kills the target, 50% of the consumed portion is refunded. Additionally, every three consecutive uses of Celestial Destiny Critical Strike will guarantee a Rare Critical activation, every five consecutive uses will guarantee an Epic Critical activation, and every ten consecutive uses will guarantee a Legendary Critical activation.
"Good!"
Seeing the introduction of the new talent, Qin Tian couldn't help but silently applaud.
Compared to Burning Embers Critical Strike, the stats on Celestial Destiny Critical Strike were enhanced, reducing consumption from 10% per use of physical strength, spiritual power, and energy to 5%.
The maximum critical damage was also overall increased by 100%-200%.
However, that's not the main point; its true strength lies in the consumption refund upon kills and the guaranteed high criticals with consecutive talent usage.
Using it three times in succession ensures triggering 4 to 6 times critical damage, five times guarantees 6-8 times critical damage, and ten times guarantees triggering 8-10 times critical damage.
From gambling on luck to accumulating usage.
The importance of luck has significantly diminished, making this talent much more controllable.
Bang!
A special bullet shot out of the barrel, its initial speed increased, and its penetration power strengthened under the enhancement of Celestial Destiny Critical Strike.
"Oh~"
The Black Panther sensed danger approaching ahead of time, and suddenly transformed from a Black Panther into a giant Black Bear resembling a small hill.
A triple-crit bullet pierced through the evil shield, penetrated the Black Bear's fur, and entered its body; however, the Black Bear's steely muscles held onto the bullet tightly, preventing it from advancing.
Swish swish swish
Alan thrust three swords, but couldn't even break the skin of the Black Bear. Compared to the Black Panther, the Black Bear was sluggish but had frighteningly high defense power.
"Roar!!!"
The Black Bear roared, raising its head, its scarlet eyes glaring at Qin Tian standing in the shadow below.
"Courting death!"
Qin Tian's eyes flashed coldly, his body merged into the shadow, aura concealed, instantly disappearing beyond the Black Bear's perception range.
The Black Bear roared, thinking Qin Tian had fled, it turned around and charged towards Alan like the weight of Mount Tai, its massive paws swung downwards, evil energy surging, causing the air to make a blasting sound.
Blue light flowed under Alan's feet, allowing him to dodge the Black Bear's pounce like a Spirit Cat, making the pressure from the Black Bear's attack seem much smaller compared to the earlier Black Panther.
Seeing this, the Black Bear bared its teeth and shifted into Black Panther form once again, leaping towards Alan. This time, its speed was as fast as lightning, its sharp claws lightly swiped across Alan's neck.
Fortunately, the spiritual artifact on Alan activated its shield in time, repelling the panther's claws outside.
"Hah~"
The Black Panther lowered fours, growling lowly at Alan, its gaze flashed with strange color, and then dashed into the depths of the forest.
Trying to run?
Alan was about to give chase when something seemed to flash before his eyes. In the next instant, the Black Panther's body stiffened, and its head exploded with a bang.
What?
A Tier Five Druid, getting shot in the head?
Alan quickly turned around but couldn't find any trace of Qin Tian.
In the shadows, Qin Tian slowly holstered his gun, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
His luck was good; the second shot triggered a rare 5x critical. Moreover, Celestial Destiny Critical Strike fit well with one characteristic in the Top Hunter talent.
[Top Hunter]: The first attack launched in stealth mode has its damage increased by 100%, with the chance to ignore target defense and directly inflict true damage.
With a five times critical, plus damage increased by 100%, even if it were the higher-defense Black Bear form, it would have to be taken down in one shot.
From now on, Qin Tian could be said to truly possess the ability to stably threaten and even kill Tier Five powerhouses.
Whizz~ Whizz~
Two blue light spheres flew into his body, one replacing the previous Evil Energy Control with a deeper color, and the other was the iconic ability of Dark Druids—
