Victor recalled the immense challenges he faced in acquiring this imperial artifact.
The enemy he faced possessed the ability to stop time, though only for ten seconds.
However, Viktor is restricted from directly damaging enemies, regardless of whether the enemy is in a time-stopped state.
The challenge may seem unsolvable, but it actually requires him to cleverly utilize the surrounding buildings to effectively strike the enemy.
During the time stop, the surrounding buildings can still be attacked.
Due to the time-stopping effect, they will remain frozen in place even when attacked.
After time resumes its flow, the effects of previous attacks on the building will be cumulative.
The key to overcoming this challenge lies in figuring out how to use these buildings to damage enemies while time resumes its flow.
The effect of this Imperial Arm seems rather weak; you can't actively attack enemies while using Time Stop.
In reality, it has enormous potential and can unleash tremendous power when used properly.
Because the targets they choose do not have to be limited to the enemy.
If Vega were present, Victor could even choose him as the object of time-stopping.
A ten-second pause is enough for them to carry out many actions.
Viktor then shifted his gaze from his pocket watch to the mirror in front of him, examining the tattoos on his body.
【A Gaze from a Thousand-Faced Dream】
[Skill: Panic and Confusion - This Imperial Arm ignores the user's current status; activating this Imperial Arm will cause the user's body to be covered in tattoos.]
[The creature whose eyes meet those of a tattoo will become unable to move for unknown reasons.]
However, the user cannot wear any equipment; if this is violated, the Imperial Artifact will enter a restricted state.
This is also one of the Imperial Arms that was just used on that Marquis Sancher.
Viktor stared at his tattoos, recalling his experiences in the Trials of the Abyss.
For Viktor, that trial was relatively easy.
He was fighting a strange monster whose entire body was covered in tattoos.
Once their eyes meet, Victor will be immobilized and unable to move.
Generally speaking, when facing bosses with control abilities, players should increase their equipment to improve their resistance.
On the one hand, it was to be able to quickly break free from control, and on the other hand, it was to prevent being instantly killed by the enemy.
Once under control, it's difficult to avoid injury.
The only option is to continuously take medicine during lulls in the fighting to find an opportunity.
However, this challenge has a limitation: no equipment can be worn.
This means that once you are charged, it is almost equivalent to facing death.
Without armor, you can only try to avoid taking damage, but once you look into the enemy's eyes, you will be unable to move.
It's simple, players can just close their eyes and play, right?
Unsurprisingly, Viktor won the trial with ease.
The Imperial Arms he acquired is also very useful, especially when facing monsters in the wild.
With a single glance, the immobilized monster was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at Viktor's mercy.
Although it has significant limitations, it can only be used on a single target and cannot be worn with any clothing, making it less effective in group battles.
It's not that losing armor makes one more vulnerable to injury.
Instead, it can easily lead to an awkward situation.
However, for players, it's not a problem to be completely naked when facing NPCs.
Players even hoped to take off their underwear and strut around in front of NPCs.
Anyway, as long as I can become stronger, I'm willing to go completely naked.
Although it took Viktor a month to leave the Demon Abyss, it wasn't because he wasted all his time collecting Imperial Arms.
Collecting Imperial Arms was a piece of cake for him.
If Viktor really wanted to finish quickly, he could collect all ten Imperial Arms within two days.
In fact, during this month, Victor ventured deep into the monster rift and leveled up considerably.
Incidentally, to confirm some of my suspicions, I made a special trip to the lair of the [Crimson Spider].
Finally, Viktor lowered his head and looked at his level.
Name: Victor
LV: 65
The sixth level is already the pinnacle that humans can reach.
Similarly, for players, after level 60, each level up becomes incredibly difficult.
The experience points required for each level are almost ten times the total experience required for levels 50 to 60.
Leveling up quickly by grinding monsters is almost unrealistic.
Even for expert players, it's normal to level up every ten days to half a month at this stage.
Of course, level 65 is enough.
For Viktor, rank is not important.
No matter how many times you upgrade, you won't be able to break through to level 70 or higher in a short period of time.
Now that it's all over, Victor can finally relax for a while.
He reintegrated into human society and no longer needed to carry those Imperial Arms with him.
With a single thought from Viktor, the Imperial Arms disappeared from his body one by one.
They transformed into ethereal darkness and vanished into the night.
Even the tattoos on Victor's body began to tremble slightly.
The ferocious ghost above seemed to be slowly retracting its fierce eyes, its limbs gradually gathering together, and finally curling into a ball.
The tattoo began to evaporate like smoke from the head, gradually disintegrating throughout the body before finally disappearing completely.
In the end, only Victor, who was completely naked, and the pink and white little fox curled up on his neck were left in front of the mirror.
As for why Victor insisted on carrying Hennie on his body...
Because he's not so perverted as to run around naked in the streets.
That oversized robe didn't belong to him; it belonged to Hennie.
Although Viktor cannot wear traditional equipment because of his tattoos, equipment is ultimately inanimate.
Humans, however, are full of wisdom.
When Heni, in her fox form, wore that outfit and clung to Viktor, it was as if she were also draping that garment over Viktor.
This is definitely not a bug exploit.
This is called a mechanism.
With the tattoo gone, Victor was finally free to choose a fine outfit to wear.
But just as he left the mirror, preparing to go to the wardrobe to choose clothes,
Suddenly, a soft and warm voice rang in his ear:
"Professor, don't rush to get dressed."
The little fox nuzzled forward, gently licking Victor's earlobe with her tongue, and murmured:
"Henry, I want to go back to how I used to be~"
