Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 579: 454 Level 8 Specialist!2

Like a ghostly shadow that perpetually lood behind, the blue and white cha exhibited a level of agility that no one could have anticipated.

No matter how the three guardians pursued the shadow to launch their attacks, it was all in vain.

Wielding its four-bladed arms, the Dominator finally stopped watching indifferently from a distance. The mont this insignificant human launched another counterattack, it was ti to let him know what true despair was!

The Dominator's footsteps were heavy; each one seed to split the earth and shatter the sky.

As it charged forward, a terrifying voice once again resounded in Bai E's mind.

The voice was arcane and hard to comprehend, but Bai E could only intuitively guess at part of its aning— "Bind 'It'."

Thus, the pursuit and attacks of the three Bug Race guardians abruptly changed in style, ignoring the ch Armor Alloy Battle Blade that Bai E wielded, even if they had to use their very bodies as shields to press Bai E into a corner with no escape.

If he wanted to run, Bai E certainly could have escaped at any mont.

But Bai E wanted to test the strength of the Dominator as well.

Maximizing the output of Spiritual Energy supply to the magic blade, Bai E's will hardened, and with focus, his battle blade was directed towards the Dominator's two massive arms that slashed together at him.

"No!"

"You can't take it head-on!"

The ch Court pilots scattered across the battlefield watched with eyes wide with horror.

A ch's destruction did not an the pilot's death.

The chas, which were the crystallization of humanity's top technology, naturally provided exceptional care for their pilots. After all, in terms of cost, training a qualified ch Court pilot was much more expensive than manufacturing a cha.

Pilots who had escaped from their cockpits were scattered around, and now all their gazes were focused on the battle situation that everyone was banking on as their hope.

When they saw Bai E's cha play the three guardians like toys, each of them was greatly heartened.

But upon seeing this cha, regarded as the last hope, brazenly attempting to confront the Dominator's blades head-on, they were instantly terrified out of their wits.

Even the ch Court chas equipped with basic energy defensive fields couldn't withstand a single strike from the Dominator. Where did he get the confidence to take on the Dominator's twin blades with his ordinary military cha?

"E!"

The sound of tal clashing echoed in midair, followed closely by the crisp sound of tearing tal.

Under Bai E's will, the shattered blade fragnts shot out like flying knives, all smashing towards the Dominator's body.

[Your attack has successfully hit the target, but failed to penetrate the defense.]

[Based on the effect of your attack, you obtained the following information—]

[Dominator (Bug Race): Health ???/???; Defensive Power: 800; Attack Power (Type: Strike) 2000~???; Traits: Behemoth Template, Trait: Activated Chitin Armor, Trait: Symbiotic Weapon—Biological Bone Spur Blade, Trait—Adaptive Evolution; Action Power: 100%...]

[Activated Chitin Armor: The Dominator's will controls everything, with all the Spiritual Energy power of the Bug Race node network at its disposal, it can twist reality at will. To defend against the target's attack, the Dominator can continually bond carbon and silicon atoms to temporarily enhance the thickness and hardness of its Chitin Armor. The armor, rich in strong acid, can easily corrode any external matter that intrudes into it.]

[Biological Bone Spur Blade: At the tip of the blade is a brain that functions independently of the Dominator's will. This brain can absorb any substance that the blade cos into contact with to repair any of its damage and uses powerful Spiritual Energy to maintain a mono-molecular edge on the blade. The Spiritual Energy coating on the blade's surface forms a deadly bio-catalytic "fissure field," and the "resonance" between Spiritual Energies allows two or more "Biological Bone Spur Blades" to amplify the effect of each other's bio-catalytic fissure fields when they are close to each other. Rember, it's alive! It's alive!]

[Adaptive Evolution: With the collective will of the entire Bug Race node network, it possesses endless wisdom and can make real-ti tactical adjustnts and specific structural evolutions to counter the traits of its opponents. Every mber of the Bug Race within the node network is controlled by this effect!]

The previous speculations about the guardians were inaccurate; their adaptability to combat situations stemd from the Dominator's remote control, not their own abilities.

As the absolute Dominator, it was not only the commander of the entire battlefield, but also the ultimate killing beast evolved by the Bug Race.

When the twin blades joined forces, it seed any creation of humankind would likely et its end with one stroke.

The only flaw that could be considered a weakness was its defensive power, which was just a notch below that of the "Hive Guard."

The Bug Race also had to obey the laws of physics, so in order to maintain more agile combat abilities, the Overlord could not bear the sa thick Diamond Chitin Armor as the Hive Guard.

But it was evident that the three Hive Guards were its ultimate shield.

No one could bypass the brainless, staunch support of the Hive Guards and directly take down the Overlord itself.

Bai E, whose blade had been shattered with one strike, maneuvered his cha to flip backward and fly out, escaping the encirclent of the four giant Bug Race creatures.

As he landed, he executed a roll and picked up a ch Armor Alloy Battle Blade that had fallen on the battlefield but remained intact.

With a light flick of the blade, a pale blue screen panel appeared in Bai E's eyes.

"Current Light Weapons Mastery experience 277/5500, mastery of 'Level 7 Light Weapons Specialization' available at 5500 points." (Note: Unlocking an attached skill tree (Second-Order) at specialization level 7.)

"Tip: Your current specialization level has reached the limits of a mortal body, and you will struggle to make further progress before your abilities surpass these physical limits. To continue improving your specialization level, your Insight and Reflex attributes need to exceed 15 points each."

"Insight": 15.6/24

"Reflex": 16.5/24

A substantial accumulation of experience, attribute requirents t.

The combat power composition of a cha is diverse, but the only thing that can be improved on the spot is the specialization level, which can be instantly upgraded through expenditure of experience.

A Second-Order Improvent Skill Tree attached to a specialization?

Bai E was curious about what it would be like.

Just frickin' boost it to the max!

"Level 8 Light Weapons Specialization acquired," with 2 latent points gained. (Stacked)

"Light Weapons Specialization (Level 8): Attack speed 40％, armor penetration 16％, detection break (special) 10%."

"Current Light Weapons Mastery experience 0/30000, mastery of 'Level 9 Light Weapons Specialization' available at 30000 points."

"Detection of character's current Level 8 Light Weapons Specialization and mastery of all tactical traits has unlocked: Absolute Mastery (repeatable), Enhanced*Magic Blade in the Second-Order Improvent Skill Tree (random pool)."

"Unlocking now requires: General/Combat experience*10000 (each subsequent skill at the sa level doubles the consumption), latent points*4 (fixed)."

After exceeding level 7 in specialization, the base rates of increase experienced a qualitative leap.

The base increase to attack speed per level of specialization rose from 3% to 5%, and armor penetration from 1% to 2%, while only the special attributes maintained a steady increase alongside specialization levels, without further enhancent.

The attack speed bonus, which more than doubled compared to before, made the blade in Bai E's hand as light as the wind, and a higher likelihood of penetration made Bai E's gaze as sharp as a hawk, feeling as if he could intuitively find the weak points in the target's defenses and strike more precisely at the spots he intended to hit amidst the rapidly changing combat.

The instantaneous improvent had nearly depleted the experience Bai E had stored up over many days.

Although the stored experience seed plentiful, after spending 5223 points of experience for the level 6 to 7 upgrade, and another 12000 for the level 7 to 8 upgrade, he was left with only 26241 points of experience.

That was not enough to raise his specialization to level 9, nor was it enough to mindlessly unlock all the skills in the Second-Order Skill Tree.

He had to make a choice between the two new Second-Order skills that had appeared…
