Chapter 358 The Half-Elf Archer's Mech Dream
Utan, which had been with Cheng since Metal Slug, was now completely different from its initial state, even though Cheng Tian never forgot to summon it during missions. This was because Utan always had only 60% of its initial value.

Utan chose to focus his stat points on the Spirit attribute, since with Cheng Tian's rapid growth, Utan has shifted from a support role to a support role, and is currently lacking an important source of power.

This crucial point of leverage is actually already in Cheng Tian's hands.

As for Bazett, due to the special Heroic Spirit Contract relationship, he can obtain 100% of Cheng Tian's main storyline settlement attribute points and skill points, and also received 15 attribute points and 6 skill points.

Cheng Tian decisively suggested that she put all her attribute points into agility.

The very obedient guard sister did as instructed, and her agility attribute immediately reached its current maximum value of 50 points.

With the help of equipment, Bazett's power can be unleashed at any time, and with the assistance of extreme agility, both the accuracy of his punches and the timing of using the Reverse Blade will be significantly improved.

As for skill point allocation, Cheng Tian suggested putting all 6 skill points into the A-level skill "Designated Seal Executor" directly, because A-level skills require double skill points from Lv1, so there are only enough points to level up the skill to Lv4.

Bazett accepted all the orders and obediently completed the skill upgrade.

Before experiencing the Ys Origins dungeon, Cheng Tian would have preferred to use the B-rank skill "Red Branch Inheritor" to craft the Reverse Light Sword. However, now that Cleria Ore can be obtained through the Challenge Tower, there's obviously no need to invest extra resources here.

Cheng Tian's suggestion to Bazett was, in a sense, equivalent to finding himself a powerful patron.

Cheng Tian, ​​who has the profession of Heart Priest, is essentially a hybrid of priest and mage, belonging to the magician-like profession, and is perfectly susceptible to Bazett's damage effects.

With the investment of 6 skill points, the final damage increase for magician-like classes by the level 4 "Designated Seal Executor" also increases from 20% to 40%.

As for the additional effects of this skill, they possess an unexpectedly rustic beauty...

[Sealed Executor - Rank A/Lv4, details omitted. All your physical attacks and Reverse Light Sword attacks will inflict an additional MP burn effect on the target. The magnitude of the MP burn effect is related to attack speed and power. High attack speed results in a minimum burn of 3.2 MP (10% of Spirit attribute), while high power results in a maximum burn of 32 MP (100% of Spirit attribute). This effect will be amplified by this skill. (Lv4 additional enhancement)]

Basic attacks burn mana, where did you come from, Anti-Mage?
Upon seeing this enhanced version of Cheng, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Without a doubt, this designated seal executor skill is truly aimed at killing magicians. With a maximum agility bonus of 50 points and the ability to unleash maximum strength at any time, Bazett is fully capable of delivering high-frequency, high-damage physical attacks!
If we were to find a way to give her a high-attack-speed, high-damage skill like 'Stand-up Platinum Star', 'Extreme Flow Temporary Ripple Fist', 'Hundred Ripple Kick', or even 'Instant Hell Kill', then one of her mana or health bars would definitely be depleted first!
Cheng Tian felt it was necessary to go back and test the skill's judgment.

Does it only work when the attack hits the target's body, or does hitting the barrier or shield also have a mana-burning effect?

After confirming that Bazett, like the player, still had a blank skill slot, Cheng Tian decided to find a skill for Bazett that would instantly increase attack speed.

He simply wanted to see what that unscrupulous priest would look like after taking a full combo of Bazett's mana burn.

Since he cut off Bazett's arm, it makes perfect sense that he would help cut off three of Bazett's legs, right?
A dangerous signal had already appeared on Cheng Tian's face.

However, Bazett's skill enhancement also served as a reminder to Cheng himself. Perhaps he hadn't encountered opponents with mana-burning abilities due to his lack of experience. If he were to encounter an opponent with highly targeted abilities and expertise in mana burning in the future, he would really need some countermeasures.

"Wait a little longer, something crucial is still missing."

Seeing Cheng Tian looking over, Wu Tan tapped a few times on the small computer in his hand, and then a synthesized voice appeared. Wu Tan had allocated a small amount of attribute points to Strength and most to Spirit, but almost no skill points were used, as if he was waiting for something.

Knowing that this red-haired man had his own ideas, Cheng Tian chose not to interfere.

Eileen's results are out. Although defecting from her original faction lowers her default rating, Eileen still managed to get an A- rating, gaining 7 free attribute points and 3 free skill points.

Meanwhile, the Elf also appeared in her results list, and could be taken out of the dungeon... but this made Eileen start to feel conflicted.

Her dilemma lies in whether or not she should try to acquire a C-level mecha piloting skill.

She has the agility required to pilot the Elf, but without the "Mech Combat" dungeon modifier, her lack of piloting ability means she can only treat the Elf as a decoration, or simply give it to Cheng.

Logically speaking, continuing to specialize in the Windrunner class is the wise choice. As long as the attributes, weapons, and skills are in place, it's not impossible to shoot through a mech with an arrow... But the mech is really cool!
Having gone through this main storyline, Eileen, whose steel spirit has been activated to some extent, is somewhat carried away.

But after she explained her situation to Cheng Tian, ​​this was the response she received.

"First of all, you need to understand that without the mecha combat attribute, a mecha is just a mecha, essentially a vehicle. You can't use a vehicle to unleash your wind-attribute shooting skills, so learning mecha piloting skills would be a waste."

Upon hearing this answer, Eileen's two half-elf ears, which were slightly rounder than those of a pure-blooded elf, drooped immediately. She was then embraced by Fina, the goddess who, despite being her rival, was not as hostile as she had imagined.

As expected, Cheng Tian received a cold shoulder from the goddess.

"but……"

Cheng Tian suddenly changed the subject.

"As far as I know, mechs with magical attributes, especially wind attributes, are not exactly unique."

Raising her head from the rather large valley of the goddess, Eileen, who was clearly faking tears, stared intently at Cheng, who in turn began to search his memory on his fingers.

"Cebasta, the Wind Demon Mech God; Winddam, the Magic Knight Wind Demon God; Lansta, the Gossip Robot Wind; and more broadly, Gijalgard could also be considered... Oh, right!"

Cheng Tian suddenly remembered a mecha that might be most suitable for Eileen.

"And there's the Wind Demon King! That machine uses a bow!"

Cheng let out an excited shout, then stood frozen in place.

Because he had thought of a crucial question concerning the very nature of space.

...So that's Magic King (Light Warrior), does it have any game adaptations?
