Mike spent five hours repeatedly resetting his SSS-tier skill until he finally acquired the skill he wanted!
"Wind's Reach" was considered the core skill of a "Wind Combat Mage" and could even completely overturn the class understanding of a "Wind Mage"!
The description of Wind's Reach is lengthy and its chanics sowhat complex. Mike even had to read it several tis to fully understand it:
"Wind's Reach": Deals [2000 1.5 x Intelligence 5 x past 10 seconds of movent length (yards)] wind elent damage to enemies. While dealing damage, the caster transforms into a breeze, able to dash any distance, with the maximum distance being 20% of the damage dealt (yards).
Mana cost: 400 points
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Note: The movent length is generated by the caster himself, and does not include movent generated by teleportation circles or similar ans.
The skill can actually be divided into two parts: [Damage] and [Movent].
First, let's look at the damage. "Wind's Reach" has a base damage of 2000, 1.5 tis the Intelligence damage, and 5 tis the movent length damage.
It's not displacent, but movent length!
Displacent refers to the change in position of an object.
If a person repeatedly jumps sideways and ends up back where they started, their displacent is zero.
But the movent length is accumulated!
And "Wind's Reach" calculates the movent length over the last 10 seconds.
If you move 10 miles, the damage from "Wind's Reach" could exceed 85K, allowing for an instantaneous dash of over 10 miles!
Simply put, "Wind's Reach" can transform a wind mage's high mobility into damage output!
Before "Wind's Reach," such a chanism had never appeared, nor had anyone imagined such a chanism could exist!
If that were all, "Wind's Reach" would not deserve its SSS-tier rating.
The strongest aspect of this skill is that after causing damage, it allows for a dash.
And the movent length generated by this dash, if properly connected, will be calculated into the next "Wind's Reach" damage!
Once this positive cycle is established, it will continuously stack damage!
To put "Wind's Reach" in layman's terms:
The faster you run, the higher the damage.
The higher the damage, the faster you can run!
Perfectly fitting the "Wind Combat Mage" skill set, it compensates for the damage shortcomings while further enhancing mobility!
Mike thought to himself,
"As long as a wind mage can last in the sa battle, the damage from 'Wind's Reach' will also continue to grow!"
The dash distance created by the last "Wind's Reach" will be transford into damage for the next "Wind's Reach," creating a perpetual motion machine!
Of course, this growth is not permanent.
Once movent stops and combat status is exited, the next "Wind's Reach" damage must start stacking from the base again.
Mike took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Unlike the skills he had acquired before, "Wind's Reach" was created by his own hands, and could be imprinted into skill books for widespread learning!
Once "Wind's Reach" is widely disseminated, the combat style of "Wind Combat Mage," and even the entire wind mage class, will fundantally change!
As for whether there will be other chain reactions, Mike couldn't say for sure at the mont.
The only certainty was that because of this skill, humanity would beco stronger!
A flash of white light passed, and the 6-hour limit of the Tower of Truth was reached, forcing Mike to exit.
When he returned to his dorm, Mike's face still bore traces of ecstasy, and he was extrely excited.
"Shadow Nine, there's big news."
Shadow Nine replied irritably, "You treat everything like it's a big deal! Even if a useless Battle Chief passes by you, you'd want to kill them all!"
"This ti it's different, it really is big news!"
Shadow Nine isolated the surrounding space with a gesture.
When Mike finished introducing "Wind's Reach," and the entire skill was displayed in front of Shadow Nine, it left him utterly shocked!
"This... this..."
For a mont, Shadow Nine couldn't even utter a complete sentence, even swearing,
"Holy fuck, this is an assassin's skill!"
Reminded by Shadow Nine, Mike suddenly realized that was indeed the case.
He was always thinking about Wind Mages and Wind Combat Mages, but he had forgotten another thing. Compared to mages, this skill was even more suitable for assassins, even warriors!
No, it should be said that except for Priests, all classes need "Wind's Reach"!
Archers and other ranged classes could use it to switch positions after firing, even if just as a pure movent skill, it would be worthwhile!
Warriors could pair it with skills like Charge or Windstride Slash for remarkable effects!
Mike quickly realized another issue, "But 'Wind's Reach' has class restrictions, it can only be learned by mages, or rather only by wind elent mages."
As good as it is, if it can't be used, it's useless!
"Has class restrictions, why not just remove the class restrictions? Playing a ga without exploiting bugs, what kind of gaming is that?" Shadow Nine said with a laugh.
Mike: ...
"Kid, the skill you learned before, Windstride Slash, was once exclusive to the Warrior class. It was because it was so effective that we found a way to remove the class restrictions."
Shadow Nine revealed a past event.
Mike couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"
Shadow Nine chuckled,
"Trade secret. First, make a few skill books, and then I might consider telling you the principle. Do you have any A-tier elental cores?"
"No."
Mike was honest, "I only have two SSS-tier wind elental king cores."
Shadow Nine: ...Damn, he's definitely showing off!
These two elental king cores were leftovers from Mike's skill reset.
"One elental king core can produce 10 SSS-tier skill books. Start making them, and the materials will be compensated by [Guardian Shadow] later."
Mike was never a stingy person, and soon used the elental king cores to produce 20 [Wind's Reach] skill books, which he handed over to Shadow Nine.
As ntioned before, each skill book had the sa restriction: [Only for wind elent mages].
"Shadow Nine, what now?"
A black mist engulfed the 20 skill books, and Shadow Nine's voice erged,
"I'll send soone to remove the restrictions. Once that's done..."
Even without Shadow Nine finishing, Mike knew what was coming next and added,
"Then, I'll be rich!"
Mass selling skill books would be even more profitable than becoming an arms dealer!
A voice ca from the black mist.
"Look at you, so petty."
"Alright, I admit I was a bit shallow."
Mike felt a bit guilty, but then another phrase ca through the mist.
"You should say, You're going to be filthy rich!"
"This way, we'll be the richest on Earth!"
"..."
...
Abyssal Plane, frontline.
A burly man carrying a giant sword burst out of a teleportation portal.
As soon as Maxen Stoneheart appeared, he bellowed, "Second Godfather! Second Godfather!"
His voice was so loud that even demon creatures 10 miles away could hear him. He was anxious to let everyone know that the Supre Being [Ares] was his Second Godfather.
The many demon creatures that were initially hostile towards Maxen Stoneheart also backed off, not daring to approach.
Supre Son, better not ss with him, goodbye!
A figure with a sword slung across appeared instantly in front of Maxen Stoneheart, his deanor gentlemanly and his voice llow,
"What's the matter?"
"Master Shadow Nine asked to deliver sothing to you."
Maxen Stoneheart took out 20 skill books, all [Wind's Reach].
"He asked if you could help remove the class restrictions on these skill books."
After glancing at [Wind's Reach], Ares sighed.
"Thor was indeed great."
"Ah?"
Maxen Stoneheart didn't catch on imdiately, these skill books... were made by Thor?!
Wasn't Thor a Lightning and Fire mage?
When did he secretly master the wind elent?!
Ares continued, "Compared to my ti, he's only slightly inferior."
With that, he casually flicked his fingers downwards.
A sword energy passed through the [Wind's Reach] skill books.
The line about class restrictions on the skill books was directly erased!
"Is that even possible?!"
"Godfather, I want to learn this move, teach !"
Maxen Stoneheart was still in shock, only to see Ares raise his hand, taking the top two skill books and casually saying, "I didn't control my strength for a mont and ended up damaging two skill books. Well, I'll keep them as souvenirs."
Maxen Stoneheart: ???
Godfather, what are you talking about, those two skill books are clearly fine...
"You take the remaining 16 skill books back and report."
20 minus 2 equals 18, Godfather, you're really off today...
Maxen Stoneheart's not-so-bright mind suddenly had a flash of insight, and he understood!
"Thank you, Second Godfather!"
With that, he first stuffed two skill books into his pocket, then cheerfully carried the remaining sixteen skill books back to Earth.
