Chapter 654: Chapter 204: Cut down the Great Tree by Hand, Strike Down the Omen!_3

Sacred Grail Drops can increase the recovery amount when players use Blood Bottles, and the increase is based on a percentage of the player’s health/blue volume.

An unenhanced drop recovers about 200 health per use.

So, at this point, a +2 drop can recover at least 300+ health in one go.

Considering Lao Ju’s current total health just over 600.

It would take three bottles of unenhanced drops to heal from low health, but after enhancement, just two bottles would be enough to fully recover.

The improvement is quite significant.

Besides this, Lao Ju also checked the ashes he carried with him.

In "Elden," there is a summoning mechanism to help players alleviate the pressure of the game’s difficulty and reduce the frustration of constant failure.

Once summoned, the ashes will join the battle as a ’pet’, attracting the BOSS’s aggro for the player.

Moreover, ashes are not just punching bags.

Different ashes serve different purposes, and sometimes the right ashes for the current battle environment can even help players defeat the BOSS directly.

The ashes Lao Ju currently has is that of the jellyfish girl Kulara.

She looks like a large jellyfish floating in midair, capable of shooting targeted poison mist, causing enemies to continuously lose health once a certain amount of toxin has accumulated.

Once everything was ready.

Lao Ju opened the map and teleported to the door of the Omen room.

Even though he had become stronger after a series of trials in the open world.

And could even tear the Big Tree Guardian apart with ease.

But facing the Omen BOSS that had initially caused a great shock, almost instantly wiping out the Fading One with a few quick moves.

Wang Laoju did not take it lightly.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly stepped into the dark golden Fog Door.

Right at the start, he shook the rattle to summon!

Magical girl Kulara, go!

Quickly, with Lao Ju shaking the bell in his hand.

The jellyfish were summoned.

Immediately.

He raised his golden halberd violently.

Battle Skills, Golden Oath, activate!

Humm!

A dazzling golden light spread from beneath the player’s feet.

His attack and defense had been enhanced!

Wang Laoju quickly switched to the Turtle Shell Shield and activated the Battle Skill Iron Wall Defense.

The defensive power increased further!

After doing all this, the Omen retorted by throwing two daggers, cutting through the air with a sharp whistle towards Wang Laoju!

Lao Ju was quick to respond, raising the Turtle Shell Shield.

"Dang! Dang!"

Two crisp sounds of metal striking resounded.

Actually, with Lao Ju’s current understanding of ’roll-dodge’ from "Elden," he could easily roll to avoid the daggers.

However, Lao Ju wanted to test the current damage of the Omen.

He glanced at his health bar.

Only a tiny bit of health was lost, and the stamina consumed for blocking wasn’t much.

OK, then charge!

With some newfound confidence, Wang Laoju ran towards the Omen.

Seizing the moment when the jellyfish’s attack shifted the Omen’s aggro.

He rolled behind it.

Lifting the heavy golden halberd in his hand, he charged briefly before forcefully striking downwards!

"Puchi!!"

Then he followed with an Ordinary Attack, bringing up a spray of blood.

Two sets of damage numbers popped up consecutively.

The damage was considerable!

The critical hit + Ordinary Attack sweep directly took about 1/8 of the Omen’s health.

Which means, even with Ordinary Attacks, stabbing it about 20 times or so would be enough to defeat the foe.

However, having played "Elden" for six or seven hours.

Wang Laoju knew well that the combat system of this game never emphasizes suppressing the player with extremely high BOSS health.

Instead, it tests the player’s mastery over precise attack timing.

And impeccable defense choices!

After landing the two-hit combo, the Omen’s aggro quickly shifted.

The staff in its hand sharply turned back and swung.

Wang Laoju, who had gained operational growth from numerous encounters with elites and BOSSes like Nimgreifu.

Quickly discerned the Omen’s turning action.

Though fast, it left enough time for a player to react.

Side roll!

The agile Fading One rolled on the ground close to the staff to narrowly dodge the attack, rising to his feet after.

Wang Laoju’s eyes sharpened!

If he remembered correctly, this BOSS liked to follow up its turning attack with a swift Dagger Dance.

This move has almost no telegraph and deals significant damage.

The daggers carry holy attribute magic attacks, so blocking will still result in taking damage.

If the defense failed, the rapid two-hit combo could easily halve his health.

Of course, the Omen might not follow up with this move.

Whether it attacks or not is its own choice.

It might not attack, but he must defend regardless.

Therefore.

The very next instant after a side roll.

Just as Wang Laoju got up, he hit the roll key again!

"Shua!"

As expected.

The Omen had hoped to suppress the Fading One’s rising with a rapid two-hit Dagger Dance, but the flicker of light from the blades was avoided by Lao Ju’s second roll.

And by the time the light dagger came slashing back, Wang Laoju was already on his feet, shield raised in front of him.

Timing it perfectly.

Anti-defense!

"Ding—Crack!!"

The shield emitted a clear ringing as it deflected the Omen’s attack and the golden halberd’s tip, glinting coldly, thrust forward!

Once more, the Omen’s health was reduced!

Seeing this, comments flew across the screen.

"woc!"

"Boss is strong!"

"That reaction, too fast to even discuss."

"All those hours earlier weren’t for nothing."

"This game, even though it also has a leveling system for defeating monsters, the player’s operational growth from experiences is also very evident."

"Indeed, I really like games where you can actually feel yourself getting stronger."

"Chairman, go go go!"

With the encouragement from the comments.

Wang Laoju, relying on experience and reaction, and occasionally on the jellyfish drawing aggro.
