Chapter 540 - The Burning Blade: Broken’s Final Move



[SexyGrill has picked Nature Healing from the two available skills in your arsenal.]

[Nature Healing (Active) is now available to the party.]

[Aetherial Lift (Active) is now available.]

[Grants the ability to float. While floating, movement speed is increased by 20%.

Mana Cost: 7 Mana / Second.]

SexyGrill had made the perfect decision by choosing the Nature Healing skill, the one Broken gained whenever he summoned Gaia from the ring. This skill allowed Broken and the party to stay fully healed while also clearing any negative effects that could have otherwise crippled them.

A message from Maylock appeared in his vision.

[Maylock: "I'm just going to stay quiet and avoid any responsibility for whatever decisions you make, heh!"]

Broken couldn't help but smile at the message.

He now had 650 stat points at his disposal—a massive boost. And the best part? He could reallocate them each time the skill was activated. The possibilities were already flooding his mind.

Another message from Maylock popped up.

[Maylock: "Grill and Bloom should be able to handle the Crow with their abilities. Those flying swords will help them locate the real body. So, my bet? You need to focus on your highest damage skill to finish it off once they do. I'm thinking of that skill you used earlier to flood the battlefield. You can wield any weapon with it, right? Pick the one with the biggest single-target damage and go for the kill."]

SexyGrill darted through the battlefield. The five flying swords dispersed in all directions, relentlessly striking wherever the Crow Guardian appeared. With each rapid movement, she expertly closed in, landing precise and devastating blows.

The Crow Guardian was finding it harder to counter as SexyGrill's relentless movements boxed it in, leaving little room for escape.

The creature struggled to launch a barrage of magic missiles, but SexyGrill and SexyBloom remained unfazed. Thanks to the Nature Healing skill from Gaia, their health fluctuated wildly but recovered just as fast, negating the heavy damage from the Crow Guardian's relentless attacks.

With the pressure on the Crow Guardian, Broken realized he could rely on them to buy him the 7 seconds he needed to finish this beast. Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Spend everything into Strength," Broken murmured to himself.

[Name: Broken]

[Level: 203]

[Class: Unique - Super Novice | Unique - Royal Blacksmith | Unique - Rift Digger | Unique - Elemental Forger]

[Health: 4,320 | Mana: 6,228]

[Strength: 1,560 | Agility: 575 | Intelligence: 612 | Constitution: 418 | Stamina: 438]

[Charisma: 100 | Luck: 57 | Dexterity: 50 | Survival: 30 | Perception: 20]

[Available Stat Points: 0]

[Weight: 2,641/9,360]

Broken knew this was his moment—the crucial gamble. He had to use the most powerful skill combination at his disposal, a single strike that would ensure the Crow Guardian was wiped out in one devastating blow.

There was no room for hesitation. He understood that putting everything into Strength was the best strategy here, maximizing his attack power to its fullest potential. This was the only way to guarantee that the finishing hit would erase the Crow Guardian in a single, overwhelming strike!

Several notifications flashed on his vision.

[Winds of the Arcane has been activated.]

[Your movement speed has increased by 30%. You gain a 15% boost to magic damage for 20 seconds.]

[Mana Infusion has been activated.]

[Your mana regeneration has increased by 30% for 60 seconds.]

[Arcane Convergence has been activated.]

[Your critical hit chance has increased by 10% for 60 seconds.]

He quickly realized that all these skills were being cast by SexyBloom.

So her Epic-class really is a support class? There was no way she could have this many buff skills without being focused on support.

But then again, why was she wielding a magic sword?

It was such a unique combination—a support role, yet using a sword typically suited for combat classes.

The sheer number of boosts he received after joining the party was staggering. His movement speed, magic damage, mana regeneration, and even critical hit chance had all been enhanced. It was clear just how much of an advantage there was in being part of a well-synchronized team.

Broken's mind raced as he quickly weighed his options, deciding which weapon would deliver the perfect finishing blow. He had a vast arsenal of Legendary-grade weapons, but which one would be the right choice?!

Was the Wavebreaker Spear the best option? Or did he have a better alternative?

Broken leaped backward, floating mid-air. To his surprise, he could use the floating skill effortlessly—it was as if just imagining the movement was enough to make his body respond.

[Sniper's Focus (Active Skill) Lv. 4]

He drew an arrow and activated Sniper's Focus, his body steady as he charged the skill. Time seemed to slow as he scanned his list of weapons, considering the possibilities.

Out of all the weapons at his disposal, Broken knew he needed to pick the one that offered the most devastating combination of single-target damage and AoE impact—the weapon with the highest percentage damage accumulation!

However, he realized he might need to set aside certain options like Rockfall Barrage from the Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe and Sea of Storms from the Wavebreaker Spear. The falling boulders and water spears from those weapons would hit enemies randomly, meaning only one or two projectiles might actually strike the target.

Time was running out, and he had to make a decision quickly. His eyes scanned the list of weapons and skills again, every second precious.

[+12 Abyssbreaker]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Attack Power: 2129~2342

Strength +156

Agility +52

Shadow Element Damage +52%]

Abyssbreaker was undeniably powerful, with immense Attack Power, Strength, and Agility. However, its AoE skill had relatively low percentage damage, despite the advantage of a short cooldown. Given the high stakes of this moment, Broken knew he couldn't rely on a weapon that lacked the sheer burst damage he needed.

Reluctantly, he decided to set the Abyssbreaker aside.

Broken knew exactly what he needed—a weapon with the highest percentage damage and a full set of offensive skills. His eyes locked onto The Scorchslayer.

[+12 The Scorchslayer]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Attack Power: 1046~1151

Strength +195

Agility +130

Stamina +195]

[Wrath of the Infernal King (Active Skill)]

[Effect: Unleashes a combo of six rapid strikes, each dealing 350% Physical Attack and 350% Fire Element Magic Damage. The final strike explodes, dealing 700% Physical Attack and 700% Fire Element Magic Damage to all enemies within 10 meters and stuns them for 2 seconds. If the final strike kills an enemy, the wielder gains a 60% increase in Fire Element Magic Damage for 30 seconds.]

The Wrath of the Infernal King had incredible potential for single-target devastation, with the explosive final strike making it a lethal finisher.

Though The Scorchslayer boasted other powerful skills—like Blaze Nova, which delivered 600% physical and 600% fire element AoE damage, totaling 1200%, with an extra 200% for 10 seconds. Also, Doomfire Slash, which hit for 800% physical and 800% fire single-target damage with a 500% AoE effect—Broken knew what he needed.

For this moment, where everything hinged on delivering a finishing blow, Wrath of the Infernal King was his best bet.

The charge time for Sniper's Focus was complete.

Broken released the arrow, and it sliced through the air, striking the Crow Guardian with pinpoint precision. The impact sent the creature spiraling uncontrollably through the air, struggling to regain its footing. The skill would decrease its defense by 40% for 10 seconds.

Relief washed over him—SexyGrill and SexyBloom's efforts were paying off, giving him the opening he needed for his next move.

"Buy me 5 seconds!" Broken shouted.

SexyGrill glanced over her shoulder, giving him a quick wink. "I'll give you a bonus—1 extra second."

She's still joking at a time like this?

(Author's Note:)

I'll list out the updated status and skills of each weapon in the comments so you can help Broken double-check if choosing

The Scorchslayer

was the right call. But remember, he's working under intense pressure with only a short window to decide—so let's not be too hard on our boy!

But if you're not into crunching numbers and just here for the action, go ahead and let our boy do his thing! Haha.

Good luck, Broken! 😅
