Chapter 855: Chapter 193: Division of Spoils Conference (Part 1)

Although it seemed ridiculous for a Saint Chiao-level Blood Mage to stoop to doing something as trivial as an "Elf Sword Chant" in a foreign style, Liu was profoundly eager to learn and vowed to carry the revolution through, tirelessly practicing this monotonous method of attack for the next few days.

What greatly surprised Yitiao, the top Gold Medal Red Stick of Feilengcui, was that this seemingly ludicrous "foreign Elf Sword Chant" gradually became adept through thousands of daily practices, displaying an extraordinary combat strength from his initial awkwardness.

Practice is the only way to test truth. This was said by a great man revered by the Overlord, a man who had never wielded a weapon yet had fought across the world; his words were regarded as the truth.

Due to the uncertain balance and lack of precision during the flight of various weapons, the Feilengcui Overlord, after ceaseless selection and practice, finally chose his definitive attack weapon from dozens of laughable heavy combat vocations such as "Brick Chant," "Wolf Fang Club Chant," "Heavy Sword Chant," "Hammer Chant," "Axe Chant" and so on...the Handleless Battle Axe, truly becoming a Handleless Axe Chanter.

Before this, many thought he was just making a benign joke, as the Overlord always enjoyed such humor.

But what was destined to shock everyone was that the Overlord was serious this time, an Axe Chant, one without a handle.

This custom-warped handleless battle axe by the Overlord had a blade design extremely similar to the "Moon Blade" used by the "Guardian Archers" among Elves, featuring a curved blade with hook-like dual wings that served a balancing effect. During projectile attacks, the precision was outstanding and the lethality was fully assured by the hook-shaped curve of the blade.

Although handling the axe like a Sword Chanter wasn’t as fluid as Moore’s Sword Chant, and once the Battle Axe was thrown there was no retrieving it, Liu’s crude method of modification could not be stopped—the Overlord, with remarkable brute strength and peasant-like cunning, had a Difeng Giant spend half an hour welding a giant iron box with a shoulder strap for him, which held two hundred handleless battle axes. Supported by the formidable magical power of a Saint Chiao level, the Overlord, after thousands of practice sessions, was able to fire from the iron box immovably, delivering a succession of double shots up to a thousand yards with firepower suppression. Within a radius of five hundred yards, the flying axes’ blades could penetrate an armor layer one and a half inches thick.

Laymen could only enjoy the spectacle, but experts saw it differently. This revolutionary style of Axe Chant thoroughly shocked Prince Moore Benitez, who occasionally visited Feilengcui to freeload meals.

Sword Chants are melee troops, not Archers. With such a high attack radius, is it still a Sword Chant? Prince Moore Benitez saw the Feilengcui Overlord with completely changed eyes.

The attack radius of Moore’s Sword Chants would absolutely not exceed fifty yards, because the blade’s own weight had reached 7.45 pounds. Magical power, after all, is not physical strength; it cannot operate beyond its capacity. However, the attack radius of the amateur Axe Chanter, Feilengcui Overlord, could reach a staggering thousand yards, and its strength was so formidable! How could this be driven by magical power?

Considering that the Handleless Battle Axe was almost seven to eight times heavier than the Calyx Longsword, the Overlord’s attack radius forced Prince Moore into a state of bafflement and deep terror.

The level of magical power needed by each Blood Elf Sword Chanter only required an Apprentice Mage level to control the Calyx Longsword. While an increase in the level of magical power could indeed lift heavier loads, it was extremely limited as elemental power is not physical power. If analyzed from another angle, the amount of magic needed for a Sword Chanter’s sword control attack was just like a cup of tea water; reaching the Apprentice Mage level fills the cup, and pouring more would simply be wasteful. The truly crucial aspect of a Sword Chanter’s prowess is not the level of magical power but the exquisite swordsmanship...Sword Chants rely on the cunning lines of attack, not just straightforward iron-disc-throwing lethality.

The most direct advantage reflected by each Blood Elf Sword Chanter’s increase in magical level could be seen in enhanced casting speed and shortened chanting duration, plus adding more damage-dealing magic to the long sword, increasing their own layers of Magical Shield. Compared to these benefits, which could be compensated over time, what a Sword Chanter should still be training in are various intricate sword techniques...No matter how powerful the additional magic is, it has to hit the enemy’s vital points to take effect, right?

Prince Moore’s astonishment was quite normal; even as a Saint Chiao Mage, such a high attack distance and heavy load should absolutely not exist...This is just like using a high-temperature oven for baking bread; no matter how high the temperature, it can only bake the bread, at most burning it, not transforming it into a suckling pig.
