Chapter 155: Chapter 155- [Sacrificial Gambit] (2)

Before Zhang Fei could wonder what had happened, he saw the figure of the person he was scared of, approach him like a ghost.

[Ghost Steps] Activating the High Tier Sky Grade movement skill, Yang Chen quickly covered the distance between him and his opponent.

"It looks like the skill had activated. Though its effect is still lacking a bit" Amon commented looking at the fallen Zhang Fei.

Yang Chen nodded his head. [Sacrificial Gambit] was one of the twenty one skills that he had learned from the ring of the mysterious old man. Moreover, it was one of the three Heaven Grade battle skills that he had in his arsenal.

As impressive as it sounded, the reality was not as so. The [Sacrificial Gambit] was a skill that harms the user in return for dealing damage to the target.

The user sacrifices their vitality to unleash some form of damage to the enemy. The greater the sacrifice, the more powerful the effect. Hence the name [Sacrificial Gambit].

The skill might sound powerful; however, it also runs significant risks, like the high failure rate. Due to the inherently volatile nature of the skill, there is a chance that the skill might not achieve the desired effect, leaving the user vulnerable and exposed.

Unpredictable Effects- The effects inflicted upon the enemy through this skill are highly unpredictable, making it impossible to anticipate the extent or nature of the damage they will suffer.

Additionally, since Yang Chen did not practice this skill much because of the self-harm nature of the skill, it was still in its beginner completion stage. Then there was also the lapse in defence that would surface when activating the skill.

Since the skill works by sacrificing the vitality of the user, it leaves them in a momentary vulnerability. Because of this, the skill cannot be used in the heat of the battle or as a final move.

The [Sacrifical Gambit] even while being a Heaven Grade battle skill was like a dual edge blade that did more harm to the user than to the enemy. As such, no sane practitioner would learn this skill.

So why was Yang Chen using this skill? One look at his quickly healing left hand was enough to explain it. The Undying ability of the Extreme Evil Nihility body that granted Yang Chen almost logic defying level of regeneration.

Thanks to that ability, Yang Chen did not have to worry about the self harming risk of the skill.

Of course, there were also other factors for why he decided to use the skill, like its vast range. One of the advantages of [Sacrificial Gambit] is its ability to reach targets within a vast range. Zhang Fei was far away for Yang Chen to reach him with any other skills.

However, with [Sacrificial Gambit] it was not the case. As long as his enemies were within his eyesight he could always use it. Then there was also the surprise factor that could be seen from Zhang Fei’s face.

The other party had no idea where the attack came from and how he was injured.

And last but not least, the greatest advantage of this skill that made it a heaven grade was its no requirement for any physical touch or medium to activate its effect. As long as the user has the will to sacrifice themselves, the skill can be activated.

"It’s quite the broken skill, that can overturn any situation. If only it did not have that terrible self sacrifice requirement, I would have levelled its completion stage to the max" Yang Chen muttered stretching his left hand.

"It’s not quite as you think. This skill that you found from the ring, is one of the forbidden skills that is abysmally rare in this world. The one who created this skill was a true lunatic who died in the midst of creating this skill"

"As such, the skill is still very unrefined and thanks to its terrifying requirements to learn it, I don’t think there are any people in this world who can learn it, you being an exception. That said, even if you level up this skill to the peak completion stage, the failure rate will not drop much and you won’t be able to use it on higher level enemies".

"Even if you catch them off guard, at most you will only be able to seriously mutilate one of their arms or limbs at the cost of your life. The loss you suffer just does not measure up to your gains. I would say it is a defective skill, the only reason you are able to use it because of the Greedvil system and your special constitution. So vanquish all thoughts about wanting to level it up" Amon explained.

"Heh, so in short what you want to say is that I don’t want you to be dying because of the skill so stop any wild thoughts you have about using this skill in the future. Why can’t you be upfront and say that you are worried about me?"..

"Hahh?! Who is worried about you? Listen up you brat, it does not concern me even if you die or live, so stop forcing your humane ideals on me. Kuh!! My mood is all sore now because of you, you insignificant pest"

Amon broke into an enraged outburst. Seeing him become all flustered and annoyed like that, Yang Chen grinned. He felt like he finally scored one against this demon who never missed any opportunity to pass snide remarks at him.

"With this our score is even now"...

"You Brat, you dare to slight me.." Amon didn’t have the opportunity to be enraged because of what Yang Chen said next.

"Anyways, I understand what you are saying, but a skill is a skill in the end. It becomes strong or weak depending on the way it is utilised".

For Yang Chen who had been a gamer for a good part of his short life, he could imagine various ways to use it. For example, using the [Sacrificial Gmabit] when the target was preoccupied by a perilous situation.
