Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 727: 232. Thunderous Battle of Hearts

The Deep-sea Black-scaled Sea Serpent Leader, like Samuelson’s crow, was a lord.

Both were lord-level magic beasts among their own groups, but when it came to combat power, the difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

This once again proved that the combat power of a character in this world had little to do with their status in their group or social class.

One must delve into attribute values, health bars, features, and skills to determine a character’s specific combat power.

It was useless to merely look at a character’s identity level and title.

Noland Lee pondered, the world before he crossed over was the same.

The strength or weakness of an individual’s combat power had nothing to do with their job, take for example neighborhood security guards…

On second thought, forcibly combining individual strength with status would be the approach taken by fantasy web novels, which had little to do with the otherworld realm in which he now found himself.

Noland Lee shook his head slightly to clear the random thoughts in his mind.

He looked at the pink mermaid staring at him, sighed softly, and wrote on a piece of paper:

“I feel sorry for what happened to your race. All your people have perished.”

Mermaid Vivian looked at the words on the diary, stunned for half a second, then covered her face with her hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

Her cry this time was not as loud as before, but it was extremely desolate and tragic in its low, melodious tone.

“Jarvis, are we leaving here? Will that giant Sea Serpent come looking for trouble with us?” Hadley asked from the side.

“That snake probably doesn’t have time to bother with us small fry, Hadley.” After pondering for a moment, Noland Lee replied:

“You’ve been here many times before. Have you never been attacked by the sea serpents?”

Hadley stroked his beard and nodded:

“Yes, no. As long as I stay near the glowing moss and don’t step into the dark zone, the sea serpents won’t bother me.”

Noland Lee reflected.

Without further employing the Deconstruction Technique, he had some speculations in his mind, but wasn’t sure.

The best approach now would be to consume more Energy Points, deconstruct the Sea Serpent Leader, and see if the Deconstruction Results match his conjecture.

Noland Lee weighed his options, locked onto the coiled Sea Serpent Leader in his Magic Vision, and silently muttered:

“System, consume 144,000 Energy Points, and employ the Deconstruction Technique on that Sea Serpent Leader.”

His mind swam momentarily, and then he read:

[System Message:]

[The degree of your Deconstruction on the ‘Deep Sea Black-scaled Sea Serpent Leader’ has reached 50%]

[You’ve obtained more Panel Information:]

[Status Bar]

1. Strange Object Backlash, remaining duration 15 minutes.

The Sea Serpent Leader forcibly used the ‘Mysterious Prism’. Unable to bear the cost of using the prism, it is now suffering a backlash from the ‘Mysterious Prism’.

During the backlash duration, the Sea Serpent Leader will not be able to attack and can only passively suffer damage.

2. Defensive Stance, unlimited duration.

This effect comes from the Sea Serpent Leader’s Active Skill ‘Defensive Stance’.

The Sea Serpent Leader enhances its defense ability in all directions by coiling up. In this state, its resistance to all damage is significantly increased.

(Other panel information omitted)

[You’ve obtained a part of the target’s Memory Fragment:]

[…(The process of the battle between the Sea Serpent and the Merfolk, which is omitted because it’s too bloody) ]

…

“Wow~ a state of not being able to fight back or retort for a continuous 15 minutes!”

Noland Lee was overjoyed mentally and couldn’t help but cheer in his heart.

If he didn’t take the opportunity to attack the Sea Serpent Leader now, when else would he!

Noland Lee focused his attention on his Magic Vision, kept his eyes on the goody-shaped Sea Serpent Leader, and continuously cast ‘Psychic Bombardment’.

The body of the Sea Serpent Leader trembled slightly. The serpentine head buried under its body emitted a husky moan, filled with anger and irritability. It held an enmity of hatred towards the enemy.

Noland Lee knew that regardless, he had to kill the opponent within 15 minutes after making a move, otherwise it would inevitably provoke a fierce retaliation from the Sea Serpent Leader.

He made a quiet gesture to Hadley and Vipa, throwing himself fully into the work of “scraping” the Sea Serpent Leader.

[You have inflicted 170 mental damage on your target!]

[You have inflicted 156 mental damage on your target!]

[You have inflicted 184 mental damage on your target!]

[…]

The damage value of ‘Psychic Bombardment’ fluctuated!

This was completely different from when Noland Lee attacked the wizard with ‘Psychic Bombardment’.

Not only did the damage value drop from 529 points to below 200 each time, but it also fluctuated by about 28 points up or down.

It must be because of the ‘Magic Beast Leader Mentality’.

Although the Sea Serpent Leader did not have a permanent mental shield and did not master the ‘Mental Shield’ spell, it could resist mental damage through the ‘Magic Beast Leader Mentality’ feature.

Noland Lee moved the combat information frame in his mind to the side, brought out the panel of the Sea Serpent Leader in front of his eyes, and maintained his casting state.

Inflicting mental damage could also trigger Passive Deconstruction.

In less than 3 seconds of this output time, Noland Lee’s degree of deconstruction for the Sea Serpent Leader rose from 50% to 50.3%.

As everyone knew, when the degree of deconstruction was at 0%, Noland Lee only needed to defeat the other party or be defeated by the other party to reach 100% by means of Passive Deconstruction.

From this perspective, the percentage of Deconstruct completion could be considered as the percentage of the target’s health bar.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
