Chapter 22 Terrifying Damage! Rank Suppression? Reversed Rank Execution!
Two void slashes spanning more than thirty meters appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping all the dozens of centaur professionals.
The next moment, terrifying damage numbers appeared above their heads.
-
4315-
4315-
4315
...
This is the first slash, and the damage it caused.
But then came the second slash...
Even more terrifying!
10498-
10498-
10498!!
The horrific damage stunned everyone!
Damage exceeded 10,000!
Moreover... it was a one-time area-of-effect attack, with all targets exceeding 10,000 damage!
The centaurs were all stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
In an instant, each of them suffered a terrifying 14,813 points of damage!
Their health bars instantly dropped by a large increment!
Some of them even lost a third of their weight!
Although a green light appeared quickly, and a +2000 number appeared above their heads, slightly increasing their health.
However, compared to the more than 10,000 damage lost in an instant, this +2,000 recovery seems insignificant.
Even Vera, the female centaur who had remained calm in the distance, had her expression change instantly and subconsciously took a step forward.
But I quickly breathed a sigh of relief...
fine.
Although the damage was terrifying, the professionals she brought to intercept her this time were all second- or third-tier professionals, whose health was already very high.
In addition, she had just given these subordinates a health boost buff, so even the squishy classes among them had over 30,000 health...
The damage of over 10,000 in an instant is astonishing, but it's not a big problem.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked up at her health bar...
She used the Soul Link, and as the main body of the skill, she was naturally bound to the health of those centaurs, so she also lost health at this moment.
She is an excellent-level class 'Holy Light Priest' with double points in Spirit and Constitution, plus buffs, and her health has exceeded 100,000 in a short time.
A single moment of damage exceeding ten thousand also caused a significant drop in damage level.
But is it really wishful thinking for humanity to think it can break the deadlock with this?
A cold smile appeared on her face.
...Skills that deal area damage like this must have a long cooldown.
By the time the opponent's skills are off cooldown, their health will probably have recovered.
Thinking of this, a contemptuous smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
but……
Before that smile could fully bloom...
His face suddenly froze!
because……
There were also slash marks.
It's here!
...
"Hiss, this is an epic assassin? Tier 0, and it actually has area-of-effect damage skills?"
"And this damage... isn't it a bit too exaggerated?! And this is even with the damage reduction from rank suppression. If there were no damage reduction, those two strikes... would have dealt at least twice the damage, right?!"
The professionals around Yu Qianqiu were also stunned by the two void slashes, and they all gasped in shock.
Rank suppression is a special mechanism among professionals.
It is an absolute crushing of lower-level professionals by higher-level professionals.
This suppression comes in two forms.
Absolute damage reduction and absolute damage increase.
Absolute damage reduction means that no matter what skill it is, when it is applied to a high-level professional, it will be reduced... including damage described as 'true damage'.
Absolute damage increase, on the other hand, is an amplification of damage from a higher-level skill to a lower-level skill... regardless of the skill, it is an increase on top of the original damage.
This increase is considered a 'real injury'.
The difference is one tier, but the damage reduction and damage increase are both 20%.
For each additional order below the threshold, the cost increases by 20%.
For example, a level 0 professional will have a 20% damage reduction and damage increase when facing a level 1 professional.
Facing a Tier 2 opponent, the damage reduction and damage increase reached 40%.
And so on.
When a Tier 0 professional faces a Tier 5 professional, no matter how high the damage is, it will be negated.
There won't even be 1 point of forced damage.
Why do human epic professions generally only make their public appearance when they reach the fourth tier?
It is precisely because of the existence of this mechanism.
...Even if an epic class has a high class coefficient, it is still very dangerous to encounter high-level enemies when at a low rank.
The professionals around Yu Qianqiu had all fought against the centaurs ahead, so they knew very well that this group of centaurs were all professionals of rank two or higher. Among them were even some rank three professionals.
In other words, when the damage from the boss and Xiao was applied to these centaurs, it was reduced by at least 40%!
Some even reach as high as 60%!
In this situation, the two of them, working together, actually dealt over 10,000 damage in an instant...
This is absolutely terrifying to think about!
But unfortunately...
Soon, a look of regret appeared on their faces.
What a pity.
The rank is still too low. Even with the buff from the support, it is not enough to kill these centaurs instantly.
"Prepare to fight to the death. No matter what, we must escort these children out safely."
Yu Qianqiu let out a soft breath and said in a deep voice.
The professionals all looked grave and nodded slightly.
Just about to take action.
Suddenly someone shouted in alarm, "Wait... there's more to come!"
Everyone instinctively looked up.
Then everyone's eyes widened...
"This group damage skill... and it deals multi-hit damage?!"
Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; they were completely dumbfounded.
Because they saw that shortly after the second slash disappeared, another void slash appeared!
...

4746-
4746-
4746!
...

11547-
11547-
11547!
...
Compared to the first slash, even more terrifying damage appeared on the centaur professional's head.
The terrifyingly bright crimson value completely stunned the centaur warriors.
A small portion of them had only one-third of their head remaining!
"how so?!"
"What kind of damage is this?!"
"Who is it?!"
Because of the soul link, the centaur warriors, who had just felt invincible, were stunned, and then panicked.
Utter panic!
But……
The matter is clearly not over yet.
Before they could even react...
After two slashes...
The third wave of void slashes has appeared once again!
...

5178-
5178-
5178!
...
-
12598-
12598-
12598!
...
Another series of extremely high damage burst out!
"No!!!!"
This burst of damage... instantly wiped out the health bars of several centaurs!
They screamed in disbelief, and the next moment, they collapsed, dying instantly.
Orbs of light burst from their bodies.
At least a dozen centaurs died as a result.
The remaining centaurs panicked.
The highest health among these people is only half health left!
Most of them were left with only a sliver of blood!
Vera, who was in the distance, was clearly panicked as she looked in disbelief at the fact that she had lost nearly a third of her health.
A strong sense of unease welled up inside me.
Before she could even react, the fourth wave of void slashes...
It's back again!
...
-
5609-
5609-
5609!!
...
-
13647-
13647-
13647!!
...
An even higher fourth wave of damage was unleashed.
Boom!!!
Dozens more centaurs died suddenly.
Only about a dozen centaurs remained, and they panicked, turning to flee.
Sevi came to her senses at this moment. She waved her staff, and green light wrapped around her, instantly creating a large heal of +20,000.
But before she could even come to her senses...
The fifth wave of attacks is coming!
6041-
6041-
6041!
...
-
14697-
14697-
14697!
...
After the fifth wave of damage.
Finally, two faint shadows appeared behind the centaur warriors.
This time, it wasn't a phantom image, but two figures from behind.
Judging from their backs, one tall and one short, they should be a man and a woman.
However, their faces were not visible as they had their backs to the crowd.
They were facing Vera head-on.
Vera, the silver-haired centaur beauty, stared blankly at the two masked figures.
The fifth wave of damage has passed, and another centaur warrior has died, but there are still a few Tier 3 professionals left, with only a sliver of health remaining.
Vera is still alive... After all, she has a total of 100,000 HP, and with the addition of another HP boost, she still has more than half HP left.
She glared at the two men through gritted teeth, knowing that they were the ones who had made the move.
But who are they?
Why wasn't this mentioned in the intelligence system?
As she was pondering this question, the man among the two looked up at her.
Vera instinctively met the other person's gaze.
She saw the faint indifference in the other person's eyes.
That expression was like looking at someone...
dead?
What's the meaning?
An ominous premonition arose in her heart.
The next moment...
Two shockingly bright red damage marks erupted above her head, one on top of the other on top of the other surviving centaur warrior…
