Chapter 456: Mythical Grade, Apex Predator!
Currently, among the four pets under Zhang Yue, Cherry truly possesses the aptitude and standard of the Mythical Grade.
As for the Armageddon Black Dragon, it was originally at the Legendary Grade and only reached the Mythical Grade through the effect of the [Void Stone].
But regardless of how, the Armageddon Black Dragon is now considered Mythical Grade.
Among the remaining are the Phantom Predator and the Skeleton King.
Between the two, Zhang Yue chose the former.
Zhang Yue focuses on a burst route.
Moreover, with the Void Shield on his body, the defense-type Skeleton King usually seems dispensable.
So naturally, the Phantom Predator is prioritized.
Anyway, at Zhang Yue's pet harvesting speed, it's only a matter of time before the Skeleton King reaches Mythical Grade.
Thus, Zhang Yue temporarily lets the Armageddon Black Dragon and the Skeleton King join Cherry to hold the front.
He himself begins the devouring operation.
["Ding~ Your pet [Phantom Predator] devoured the Legendary Grade pet [Super Soul Devourer], evolution value +10%, current evolution value has reached 10%!"]
["Ding~ Your pet [Phantom Predator] devoured the Legendary Grade pet [Deep Sea Serpent King], evolution value +10%, current evolution value has reached 20%!"]
["Ding..."]
["Ding~ Congratulations! Your pet [Phantom Predator]'s evolution value has reached 100%, quality has evolved from Legendary Grade to Mythical Grade, Apex Predator!"]
["Ding~ Congratulations! Your pet [Apex Predator] has comprehended the exclusive effect [Radiance·Undying Berserker Body] (lv max), and all other special effect levels have been promoted from lv5 to lv max!"]
At the moment the upgrade notification sounded.
Ahead, the Predator's body suddenly ignited in a dark red hellfire.
In terms of momentum, it underwent an unprecedented massive sublimation.
This scene shocked countless viewers in the livestream room.
[That pet on the livestream, what happened?]
[Obviously, it evolved!]
[That special effect... could it be that it evolved beyond Legendary Grade?]
[Ignorant, short-sighted, that's an effect only Mythical Grade pets can possess!]
[Mythical Grade… hiss!]
In the livestream room, the sound of people sucking in cold air came one after another.
And on the battlefield, Zhang Yue didn't yet have time to carefully check the detailed stats and other enhancements of the evolved Apex Predator.
After completing the Predator's evolution, he immediately rejoined the battle.
Because relying only on the Thirty-Six Winged Armageddon Black Dragon, Cherry, and the Skeleton King, they could not withstand the Level 6 Beast Tide.
After Zhang Yue rejoined the battle, the situation on the battlefield gradually stabilized.
At the same time, the Apex Predator's figure suddenly turned into a flash of lightning and "whoosh" disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared behind a nearby Soul Devourer.
Slash!
Blade raised and fell, launching a sneak attack.
The next second, above the head of the Soul Devourer that was attacked, a blood-red damage number popped up —
-550 million critical hit!
Shocking.
At this moment, let alone the billions of viewers in the livestream room.
Even Zhang Yue's pupils suddenly dilated.
Before evolving from Legendary to Mythical Grade, even though the Predator could deal critical hits every strike against these ordinary Soul Devourers, its highest critical hit damage was only 160 million.
Now this damage… has increased 4.5 times.
With no equipment change, no skill upgrade, and no level increase, just by evolving from Legendary Grade to Mythical Grade and comprehending one exclusive effect, this much damage increase?
Zhang Yue could hardly imagine what kind of exaggerated exclusive effect the Apex Predator had comprehended.
In his sight.
The Apex Predator, after one-shotting a full-health Soul Devourer with a 550 million critical hit, immediately disappeared again, instantly relocating behind another Soul Devourer.
Slash!
Another slash fell, again with a 550 million critical hit, completing a double kill.
After the kill, the Apex Predator vanished again.
At this moment, the Apex Predator was like a specter.
Its body, at lightning speed, shuttled through the beast horde faster than the eye could follow.
Every slash was a critical hit.
Every slash was fatal.
Each strike killed a Soul Devourer, and after every kill, the Apex Predator immediately vanished from the spot, instantly moving behind its next target.
To outsiders, the Apex Predator's figure was completely invisible.
What the naked eye could see was only a flash of lightning weaving through the beast horde.
At the same time, one Soul Devourer after another collapsed wildly.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Even though every attack was a single kill, the Apex Predator's harvest speed was so fast, it practically resembled an area attack.
The Soul Devourers were being slaughtered in groups.
The livestream room was filled with countless exclamations and screams.
They had never seen such a grand massacre feast.
Even Zhang Yue couldn't hold back and opened the Apex Predator's special effect interface, taking a look at the exclusive effect it had comprehended as a Mythical Grade pet—
[[Radiance·Undying Berserker Body] (Exclusive Effect): All of Apex Predator's single-target attacks ignore the enemy's critical resistance and armor break resistance effects, and are guaranteed to deal critical damage; final critical effect increased by 100%, final attack speed increased by 100%, final movement speed increased by 100%, and after each enemy kill, gain an Instant Strike effect within 3 seconds; if unable to kill the enemy, each consecutive attack against the same target increases critical effect by 20%, and critical effect can stack infinitely under valid conditions.]
[Instant Strike: When attacking, if there are no enemies nearby, automatically lock onto one hostile target within a 50-meter radius, instantly relocate behind the target and launch an attack.]
Guaranteed critical attacks ignoring critical resistance and armor break resistance.
Plus a 100% increase in final critical effect, no wonder the Apex Predator's damage skyrocketed so much.
And after each kill, it can instantly move again, just like having unlimited teleportation.
In fact, this [Instant Strike] effect really is equivalent to infinite teleportation.
It completely evolved the Apex Predator into a head-harvesting machine.
This Legendary → Mythical evolution was simply too perfect.
Instant Strike + extreme attack speed turned the Apex Predator into the Flash.
Originally capable of three kills per second, it now broke through to ten kills per second.
At this point, the Apex Predator was like holding a sickle, standing in a wheat field.
One Soul Devourer after another was mercilessly reaped.
Over 500 million critical damage was enough to one-shot ordinary and even elite-grade Soul Devourers.
As for the high-HP boss-grade Soul Devourers, at most it just took a few more slashes.
The Apex Predator has always been built for single-target burst.
Now, with the exclusive effect Radiance·Undying Berserker Body, this trait became even more pronounced.
It locked onto a 19-star Soul Devourer Boss.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Frenzied blade thrusts.
-460 million critical hit!
-490 million critical hit!
-520 million critical hit!
-560 million critical hit!
Under Radiance·Undying Berserker Body, if unable to kill the same target in one blow, the next attack's critical effect increases by 20%, and using this steadily increasing damage, the Apex Predator struck eight times in a second and instantly killed this 3-billion-HP 19-star Boss.
