Now Bai Pu's agility attribute has reached 49 points. With the addition of 15 points of speed and 10 points of movement speed from the Eagle Domain, Bai Pu's actual speed has reached 64 points.
It is precisely due to such formidable hard attributes, coupled with high-tier combat specialization in soft skills, that Bai Pu can anticipate the enemy's moves and break Gustav's attack a step ahead!
Duke William's figure flashed, disengaging from the stun effect of the Ring of Shock, he once again unleashed a storm of merciless attacks!
Meanwhile, Bai Pu concentrated and fully coordinated with Duke William's output.
This coordination demands skill. For example, when Gustav swings his sword, perfectly timed parries, or when Gustav raises his shield, a silent kick disrupts his balance, and when Gustav launches his killer move and Duke William has no time to dodge, Bai Pu sidesteps to take his place.
There is only one principle: let the DPS strike comfortably!
Duke William had also battled against Gustav before, back then it was a fair duel.
Compared to the current fair two-on-one, this time the battle is much more comfortable as there is no need to worry about Gustav's counterattacks, just maximize one's own output.
Discovering Bai Pu can unreservedly block Gustav's counterattacks for him, Duke William's strikes became much bolder. In gaming terms, he began to "be greedy with his sword," where he would normally retreat after a single stab, now he strikes twice before changing position, doubling his output efficiency.
At this point, although the battlefield is chaotic, the battle is approaching its conclusion, with the Blood Ring's great trend already gone.
Therefore, all the Awakened were focusing on this grand battle.
Seeing Duke William and Gustav's formidable performance did not surprise anyone, for they are Lords, strength is expected.
What the Awakened were more interested in was Bai Pu's level, could he really participate in a Lord Level duel?
After several rounds, the Awakened from all sides were convinced.
Almost all DPS professions showed eyes of envy and desire.
"If I had Gangxin in front, my DPS would at least be doubled while fighting bosses!" Fengxiang exclaimed after watching.
"Hey, it's enough for you to say that in your heart!" Longxiang chuckled, he and Fengxiang are team partners, he is a tank-type profession, the same as Bai Pu's role.
Comparison between people is frustrating, none of the tank-type Awakened present could hold their head high in front of Bai Pu.
However, Longxiang wasn't worried, nor was he concerned about Bai Pu partnering with Fengxiang to take away his MT position.
To be blunt, can an Enhanced Elite Level DPS profession like Fengxiang deserve Bai Pu's support for tanking damage?
Fengxiang's output isn't even as high as Bai Pu's!
Perhaps, to have Bai Pu willingly support, it would require at least a middle to high-level rigid DPS profession, or even a powerful DPS Lord like Duke William.
Longxiang was right.
At this moment, with all cards on the table, Bai Pu was capable of contending with Gustav, even suppressing him for a few moves in a short time.
But the price was rapidly depleting Blood Fighting Qi, insufficient to support Bai Pu in defeating Gustav.
It must be noted that Gustav is a Lord with an Endurance Specialty, with over 7000 points of Life Value, and the fixed damage reduction (Majesty of the Great Emperor) bestowed by the World Waymark!
Even if Bai Pu exhausts his Blood River Fighting Qi, he can't kill Gustav, and whether he can deplete a fifth of his Life Value is doubtful.
Note that the Scorpion-tailed Lion's Sting is heavily restrained by Gustav's Majesty of the Great Emperor, even when stacked, it deals only about 3 points of poison damage per second.
Attempting to exhaust Gustav via poison-induced Life Force decay is impossible, Bai Pu would be the first to fall.
That's why Bai Pu willingly plays the supportive role, letting the stage belong to Duke William.
Of course, the Spirit Realm Will calculates battle contributions not only from the output side but also from the defense side, Bai Pu, who bore the brunt of Gustav's main attacks, also had his contributions recognized.
The Battle of Linköping is coming to a close.
The Blood Ring army has been cut into several small blocks, surrounded, their annihilation is just a matter of time. Ordinarily, such surrounded troops can lay down their weapons and surrender.
Yet, under the influence of the Curse Seal, the Blood Ring Mutants fiercely resisted, leading the battle into garbage time.
The Swedish Rebel Army and the commanders of the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army, with victory in sight, sought to demonstrate before their commander, encircling to besiege Emperor Gustav.
Bai Pu stopped several mutant commanders of the Swedish Rebel Army: "Enough, Gustav is a formidable hero of his era, he deserves a dignified end."
Bai Pu's inner thought: "Stop trying to steal the contribution points! Isn't Gustav's treasure chest diluted enough?"
Duke William highly agreed with Bai Pu's reasoning and stopped General Cwieg and others from approaching, saying loudly, "Dior is right, Gustav dying by the hands of myself and Dior does not disgrace his status as a sovereign."
Duke William saying this indicates he is confident in victory.
This face-conscious duke is fundamentally practical, only speaking of grace and spectacle when victory is assured.
At the decisive moment of life and death, Duke William would throw his grace to the winds.
As Emperor Gustav's Life Value fell to 5%, he activated Blood Rage, launching a powerful Fighting Qi Slash as his final desperate strike.
This Fighting Qi Slash, a ten-meter-wide blow of tremendous power, facing it head-on, Bai Pu would likely be severely injured or crippled, given the attack has the skill damage bonus from Blood Rage, it's terrifying.
Yet Bai Pu unhesitatingly rushed to the front, temporarily pulling out the Spider Demon Tower Shield to block it, simultaneously activating the Unstable Shield.
Duke William gave a long roar, thrusting his Vulture Eagle Sword, as the blue fighting qi glowed, forming the phantom of a vulture eagle, charging forward to intercept.
The vulture eagle phantom was shattered by the wide Fighting Qi Slash.
After all, this was the linkage of Gustav's two skills, it's normal for Duke William's sword skill to be unable to resist.
Nevertheless, this one Blood Rage Fighting Qi Slash was weakened by half its power, landing on Bai Pu's Spider Demon Tower Shield, emitting a teeth-gritting "creak" sound.
Bai Pu settled his stance as if facing a speeding train collision, his feet dug two deep furrows in the ground, ten meters long!
The majority of the strike's damage was blocked, though the remaining impact and recoil forces were still converted into blunt damage onto Bai Pu, mitigated by Bai Pu's Adaptive Evolution: Fluid Skeleton.
The blood-colored glow enveloping Bai Pu's body diminished substantially.
The surface of the Spider Demon Tower Shield bore a deep crack, almost cleaving the entire shield in two! Bai Pu could vaguely feel the shield letting out a painful moan, resembling the voice of a Demon Spider Lady.
However, this was already Gustav's final burst.
Bai Pu put away the tower shield, gathering the remaining power of the Unstable Shield, launched a Cannon Bombardment, and then rushed forward, activating the Giant Tuo's Fierce Eye, attacking with full force!
At this moment, Gustav's Life Value had dwindled to three or four hundred points. His body's injuries accumulated, with blood streaming like a rivulet.
Due to his poor state, Gustav's natural armor value and magic resistance derived from endurance were significantly reduced. From a native's perspective, he was exhausted and unable to contract his skin and muscles to reduce damage when taking hits.
