"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"
Sandu, the Corrosive Current from the Grand Federal Ocean, was the first to exclaim.
"That's Petrrey's turtle shell, and it was broken so easily?!"
"When I fought him before, I used my acid for ages to try and corrode it, and that shell remained completely unfazed..."
"Honestly, my ability is already extremely powerful against enemies with high defense, and I still found it so difficult."
"He achieved this with just a simple little skill?"
The Doomsday Bell of the Byzantine Empire also looked utterly defeated.
"Good heavens! What kind of monstrous little skill is this?!"
"Instantaneous, no contact, silent, and with low mana cost..."
"And the most crucial part is that its ability to break defenses is ridiculously high!"
"Several times, I've seen Lin Ran simply tear apart all of his opponents' fancy maneuvers with such a simple skill..."
"I feel like even if Lin Ran had no other abilities, just this one alone would be enough for him to be an invincible assassin!"
"Compared to this thing of his, how can I even claim to be an explosive assassin..."
Anfia shook her head.
"While that may be, this isn't really a 'little skill'..."
"From my perception of power, this skill isn't quite as you described."
"Firstly, it's not strictly an instantaneous skill."
"Before releasing this skill, Lin Ran went through a very obvious charging phase..."
"It's just that at the time, he was concentrating his magic power into his eyes."
"Coupled with his strange heterochromatic pupils, which already possess an aura-masking effect, it was indeed difficult to perceive."
"I only judged his casting by the swirling motion of those strange comma-shaped jewels in his eyes."
"Secondly, the mana cost of this skill is definitely not low."
"It's mainly because Lin Ran's internal mana capacity and reserves are so monstrous, and his recovery speed is so fast, that it gives the illusion of low consumption."
"If this skill were used by someone with a weaker constitution, they might exhaust themselves after just two or three uses."
"Theoretically, a skill with so many limitations should have a very poor hit rate..."
"But Lin Ran's predictive ability is so fierce it's like he's cheating, accurately predicting every move Petrrey was about to make..."
"This is what makes the skill appear so powerful."
Catherine beside him was speechless.
"The more you say it, the more monstrous Lin Ran seems..."
"To be able to forcefully turn a seemingly flawed major skill into what appears to us as a casually wielded, always-hitting minor skill..."
"The skill required for that must be terrifying!"
"Despite being less than twenty years old, his combat experience is so profound it's chilling..."
"It's just... just... just..."
Catherine had intended to find a suitable adjective for Lin Ran.
But no matter how much she scoured her mind, she couldn't find anything fitting.
At this moment, Dinu, the Azure Restraint from the Rhine Federation, also sighed.
"Those are all fine..."
"I feel what's most unacceptable is the sheer power of Lin Ran's skill."
"A single strike could tear through Petrrey's light screen..."
"This is a level of terror that none of us here can comprehend!"
"Based on this alone, regardless of how many restrictions the skill has or how much it costs, it's already a crucial strategic skill that can cripple the enemy's foundation."
"As the saying goes, a missile is most terrifying when it's on the launch pad..."
"Knowing this information, who would still face Lin Ran without constantly guarding against this potential nuclear weapon that could heavily damage them? That's absurd!"
"Those who don't know might suffer even more..."
"Just like Petrrey, whose turtle shell has a corner smashed, he has suffered an epic loss!"
Arthur mused beside them.
"There's no choice, he's got a noble space-type skill, after all."
"And it seems Lin Ran's space-type skill is one without any spatial-temporal constraints."
"Dimensional reduction attacks are practically the norm for him!"
"It would be strange if it were like other low-tier skills."
Hearing Arthur's words, almost everyone's expressions changed.
At their level, they naturally understood what Arthur's words implied...
A space-type skill without spatial-temporal constraints!
This alone was enough to prove Lin Ran's caliber.
Because in this world's power system, the strength of a skill is often judged by the quantity and quality of magic power.
However, certain skills with special power classifications can transcend this system.
Space-type skills fall into this category.
But this transcendence is not limitless; it's always constrained by rules and the quality of the skill itself.
The practitioner's strength also has an impact, of course.
Otherwise, wouldn't space-type skills be directly invincible?
It's like if a space-type skill has a damage cap of 100, a person with only 80 ability points can naturally only unleash 80% of its power.
But a person with 120 would still only achieve the effect of 100.
And a person with 1000 would still only achieve the effect of 100.
This is what "everyone is equal below the cap" means.
No matter how powerful your engine is, it's useless if the tip of the gun isn't right!
But judging by the destructive power of Lin Ran's skill, either this skill has no cap, or its cap is extremely terrifying.
Otherwise, how could one skill directly shatter Petrrey's turtle shell?
The existence of such a skill is already heaven-defying, and Lin Ran can perfectly utilize its effect...
Truly, a sharp sword for a hero...
Caesar, however, wasn't as somber as the others. He even grinned and said.
"What's the big deal? Why are you all looking so gloomy?"
"Isn't it a good thing that Lin Ran can quickly break through Petrrey's defenses and shatter that old turtle's shell?"
"At least we who are watching here don't have to endure their previous attrition tactics of hiding in trenches and shooting at each other."
"No matter how you look at it now, this is a battle that will likely end in a swift victory."
"I guess Old Petrrey will be beaten badly when Lin Ran pulls him out of his shell later..."
