Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 491 High-frequency, low-damage, multi-hit attacks – Cheng Tian welcomes them the most.

Another new ability!
This was the first reaction of the group focused on Cheng Tian throwing knives, but when all the orange-gold knives struck the silver knives on the other side, a sense of absurdity, as if they were watching a mirror image, entered their minds.

Both sides... look so similar!

Not only the audience, but even the head maid couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

This further confirms the rumors of the "wild father" being the same person as the father!

The opponent's throwing knife was not only almost identical in quality to his own, but also impeccable in terms of throwing force and accuracy, successfully completing a standard exchange!

In the non-combat system, the head maid's seemingly endless throwing knives are actually retrieved by herself after throwing them, using speed-up or pausing others. But here, as long as there is enough MP, they can be continuously generated... exactly the same as Cheng Tian's system!
Regarding the power and accuracy of the throwing knives, Cheng Tian actually trained by using the Sun Mask for a long time. These throwing knives, which are materialized from MP, still maintain a connection with his mind, so they can be fine-tuned during flight.

The head maid's throwing knives were incredibly swift, but in Cheng Tian's mental scan, they were like enemy soldiers on the battlefield, all targeted by the Freedom Gundam's multicolored cannons, none of them escaping.

Such a mirrored first skill call, on the contrary, further aroused the head maid's competitive spirit.

Throwing knives, again throwing knives... but these are knives with very strange speeds.

Under the head maid's control, more throwing knives were launched, but each wave, and even each individual knife, had a speed that varied from obvious to subtle.

The first flying knife seemed to drift leisurely through the air like a paper airplane, slowly moving forward. However, the subsequent flying knives easily overtook the first ones and flew in all directions at a clear scattering angle.

This wasn't a misaiming, but rather the head maid's deliberate act. Along those seemingly empty flight paths, an invisible energy barrier would occasionally appear. The throwing knives that struck this barrier would exhibit astonishing elasticity, comparable to bouncy balls, before seemingly flying towards Cheng Tian's location as if pre-calculated.

The Phantom Symbol Murder Doll!
The silver talisman leaps with silver light!
Almost instantly, the entire arena was filled with a dazzling array of silver throwing knives, a far cry from the mere probing attack of the previous moment.

This isn't just about beating someone to a pulp; it's about scraping them into mincemeat!
Upon witnessing the generation of such a large number of throwing knives, even Cheng Tian, ​​who knew the person in front of him quite well, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

To be able to achieve such a terrifying amount of bullet hell with a single character so easily, it's no wonder they're from Gensokyo... But I can't lose!

Two crystalline heart-shaped stones, shimmering with a multicolored, malevolent light, emerged from Cheng Tian's side and immediately split into four. Then, an overwhelming number of orange-gold throwing knives appeared in front of Cheng Tian, ​​forming a wall of knives that resembled a densely packed board of nails suspended in mid-air.

Throwing Knives Barrage *5!

The "Throwing Knife Barrage" skill from the DIO template allows Cheng Tian to instantly summon up to 15 throwing knives. On average, each throwing knife consumes 5 MP from Cheng Tian. The single-target damage of each throwing knife is equivalent to the spirit attribute. Theoretically, if all of them can hit the same target at the same time, it is enough to cause a wave of 750 damage.

The four heart-shaped crystals materialized by the magic burst, along with the main body, resulted in five waves of flying knives. These knives consumed 375 MP points, corresponding to 3750 actual damage points, instantly depleting more than a quarter of Cheng Tian's blue bar.

Unlike Izayoi Sakuya's elegant, wide-area, multi-angle, fast and slow bullet hell, Cheng Tian could only do one thing: use the Crystal Eye's ranged skill replication to brutally unleash a large number of throwing knives! A terrifying horde of orange-gold throwing knives roared and charged forward, immediately knocking away a large number of silver throwing knives that came head-on. At the same time, other throwing knives from different angles and directions also managed to slip through the wall of throwing knives, bringing deadly winds as they attacked.

Facing the incoming swarm of orange-gold throwing knives, the head maid, holding a silver throwing knife in each hand, took a deep breath, and then the three fixed card slots on her body were consumed.

A limited acceleration of time occurred to the head maid.

Her hands moved with incredible speed and precision, creating countless illusions that were virtually impossible to achieve in the conventional sense. Each swing meant that at least one orange-gold throwing knife was knocked away.

The wound mark is etched on the red soul!

To put it more bluntly, it's a dual-wielding version of Sakuya that's unique to her!

On the other hand, just as Cheng Tian was about to be impaled and turned into "Blackbeard in imminent danger," his entire body was enveloped in a holy radiance, and at the same time, a similarly radiant holy light shield enveloped his body.

All the throwing knives that attacked Cheng Tian's body were intercepted on the outside of the protective shield.

The Barrier of the Heart: Holy Radiance Protector!
The fact that a massive number of silver throwing knives hit the protective barrier caused Cheng Tian's mana bar, which was being used to replace his health, to drop even further... But what followed was a sudden surge in Cheng Tian's MP recovery speed, which visibly increased rapidly, like water being poured into an empty bottle!
The head maid's throwing knives are a typical type of attack with low single-target damage but a large number of projectiles. This is exactly the kind of attack that the guardian barrier loves to see, because each throwing knife represents a valid attack hit.

With 50 points of spirit, Cheng Tian's normal mana regeneration rate is 5 points per minute. A single effective judgment will double the mana regeneration, up to a maximum of 6 times. In addition, last night Cheng Tian also performed a pre-emptive trick, increasing both his Holy Radiance Purification bar and Nightmare Erosion bar to 100%. In other words, at this moment, Cheng Tian's mana regeneration speed has reached an astonishing 10.67 per second, and it can last for a full minute!

One minute is enough for Cheng Tian, ​​whose MP limit is 1250, to recover half of his mana bar!

However, Cheng Tian also has weaknesses in the protective barrier state. As long as it continues to be maintained, his main body cannot move or use spellcasting skills outside the barrier. But if he actively cancels it, there will be a full 60-second skill cooldown time. During this period, Cheng Tian will no longer be able to easily catch the flying knife barrage from the other side... But the substitute that is closely integrated with his soul and spiritual power is an extraordinary existence!
“Wryyyyyyyy!!!!!”

With swift movements of her hands, the head maid deflected all the throwing knives that came flying at her head. However, amidst the dense array of throwing knives, the imposing figure of the world was suddenly revealed, along with a punch that came hurtling towards her with a whistling wind!
Just as the world's fist was about to strike the head maid, a strange sound, like the ticking of a mechanical watch that seemed to slow down and then stop, reached the ears of everyone in the arena—

The clock hanging from the head maid's waist stopped ticking, and time seemed to stand still around her.

Almost instinctively, the head maid stopped time just as she was about to be injured, but...

"Muda!"

The fist, which should have been stopped along with the others, continued to smash down mercilessly!

The head maid, who only had time to raise her arm in a defensive stance, felt a terrible pain in her arm before being sent flying.
boom!
The head maid flew out at high speed and crashed hard into the wall of the audience outside the arena!
