Chapter 50 Cultivation is Not Enjoyable

  Apart from professional and equipment bonuses, a person's resistance can only be honed through repeated exposure, like building up a tolerance to poison.

  Equipment is not omnipotent, even the strongest armor will have weaknesses, and the only reliable thing is one's own tempered resistance and immunity that has been honed through a thousand hammerings.

  Riven deeply understood this from her countless divine wars in her past life.

  Now that he has the blessing of Lady Mist, Raven also gained an additional Thunderstrike Vulnerability. Mages in the world generally prefer simple and violent spellcasting systems, among which the most dazzling fire and thunder magic are the favorites of mages.

  Lei Wen cannot tolerate such a huge flaw on himself.

  The blessing of the Misty Lady is a good thing, even if the Phantom Goddess has fallen, this divine blessing will still linger in the body for a long time.

  It can't be cancelled, so we can only work hard on resistance.

  That night, Raven retreated to Iron Spider Village and found a secluded cave nearby. Raven asked Belle to use the minimum amount of Thunderball electricity on him.

  "I have a tendency to get hurt easily by thunderbolts, I must overcome this."

  Bell was somewhat puzzled but did as he was told.

  "It was just a small cluster of electric current, about the width of a little finger, but when it hit Lei Wen's body, it felt like stepping on a live and exposed high-voltage wire."

  For a moment, Raven felt his heart stop beating. The whole person's hair stood up, and the skin that first came into contact with the electric current was charred black.

  "Huff...huff...huff..." Lei Wen panted heavily, finally understanding what it meant to be easily injured by thunder and lightning.

  Fortunately, it's just self-practice for now. If I were to encounter a master who uses lightning magic, I'd be done for.

  "This"

  "Ah!"

  "This"

  "Ahhh..."

  The whole night, outside the village was filled with the sound of Raven's mournful and suppressed cries.

  With the help of "Shadow Rebirth" in the night and occasional use of holy water and healing scrolls, Raven finally got a hint before dawn.

  "You have obtained information about weak lightning resistance."

  Leiwen is about to cry, how many times has he been electrocuted? Is it a thousand times or eight hundred times? Forgot, anyway after counting to three hundred times, he didn't count again.

  Belle was not only in pain, but also exhausted. His electric powers were unfamiliar to him, and the more he used them, the harder it became to control them. Once, he dozed off for a moment and almost electrocuted Raven into charcoal.

  From another perspective, this was also a training for Bell, whose control over lightning had clearly improved.

  The two repeated this for ten days, and it wasn't until the eleventh day that Raven received a clue.

  "After withstanding countless electric shocks, you have acquired the [Weak Lightning Resistance Specialty]. From now on, you are immune to 4 points or less of electric shock damage and reduce strong electric shock damage above 4 points by 2 points."

  It's not easy at all, at first every electric shock was like sitting in an electric chair, then later numbness, and finally no big deal. This method of forcibly turning negative attributes into positive values is a thorough suffering.

  However, resistance is a good thing, especially after being raised to high resistance, it can greatly improve survivability. This is absolutely an important foundation for fragile Raven.

  A weak level of resistance can't be trained any further, only when you withstand the enemy's attack between life and death will there be an upgrade.

  Having settled the weak lightning resistance, Bell also had to leave. The Storm God's anger was not something a small black iron bear man like him could withstand. After agreeing on a meeting place, time and regular contact method, Bell reluctantly left Raven and the carriage.

  By the way, when Bell, who was rich in emotions, said goodbye to those two horses, he was spat on. Those two horses completely ignored him.

  After Bell left, Raven chose a night to re-enter the Iron Spider Mine again.

  The last battle had left nothing but countless long drag marks, and Raven wasn't surprised at all. After each battle, as long as the mechanical terror beasts hadn't been completely annihilated, there would be additional gold and silver terror beasts sweeping the area, recovering destroyed companions and any abandoned weapons to melt down and manufacture new terror beasts.

  According to the game's settings, there should be a group of mechanical monsters in the Iron Spider Mine, including 1 Adamantite Golem, 1-2 Titanium Golems, 3-4 Gold Golems and 5-20 Silver Golems.

  If they didn't have a weak resistance to lightning, the Raven wouldn't be able to advance further into the mine. The Platinum Horror is more advanced than the Gold Horror, and in combat, it uses its electric beam attack on opponents before approaching them. In close combat, they use their sharp saws to cut through opponents' weapons and armor. When dealing with magical weapons and items, the Platinum Horror's sharp saw is treated as a +3 weapon.

  Moreover, the Platinum Terror's "Lightning Bolt" release is more powerful than the Gold Terror's "Lightning Bolt", with a range that is twice as far, reaching up to 30 meters, its power rivaling the high-level version of "Thunderbolt Technique".

  Levin could have let the Shadow go ahead and solve everything. But Levin gave up, too reliant on external objects, this is the most dangerous idea. Moreover, Levin also wanted to try to see if he could find an opportunity to upgrade his lightning resistance again.

  No sooner had Raven stepped into the mine than he was given a warm welcome by a group of Pechka monsters in the very place where he had only encountered Ginkaku and Ginrō last time.

  Two platinum behemoths, two golden behemoths, four lightning-fast attacks struck simultaneously, filling the entire mine with energy. Almost killing Levin on the spot. At the most critical moment, Levin used his flying eaves and wall-walking skills to take three steps in mid-air, running from the ground to the top of the mine wall, narrowly avoiding the platinum behemoth's direct lightning-fast attack.

  The system prompt kept beeping nonstop:

  "Your dark vision detected an enemy ambush. The mechanical horror's ambush failed against you."

  "Platinum has taken the initiative and launched a preemptive strike! The opponent has attacked you first."

  "Make a Reflex save. If you fail the DC 15 check, you take full damage from the Platinum Horror's lightning bolt... A successful save reduces the damage by half."

  "【Weak Lightning Resistance】Special skill takes effect, damage reduced by 2 points. You have taken a total of 23 points of damage from Platinum Terror."

  This is just a Platinum Scarecrow's data. Just now, to avoid the Platinum Scarecrow's direct hit, he forcibly took the Golden Scarecrow's lightning bolt. Twice the damage reduction plus twice the full damage of the Golden Scarecrow, totaling 86 points, Raven's blood volume instantly dropped below half.

  Lei Wen was sweating bullets.

  At this time, Raven couldn't afford to hold back any trump cards and directly went up with Shadow Kill.

  Platinum is very bad to deal with. This spider-like construct creature has its climbing properties brought to the extreme, it almost never falls from the ceiling.

  To deal with it, either win from a distance. If it's close combat, there are only two options: Spider-Man and Frog Man.

  "Gritting his teeth, Raven shouted: 'Get it for me!'"

  At this moment, Raven activated [Shadow Storm] to connect with the shadow plane. A large number of black arms suddenly emerged from the shadows behind Platinum Terror and grabbed it tightly.

  With a fierce cry, the black onyx dagger in his left hand and the black crescent blade in his right hand simultaneously stabbed towards the gemstone on the spider-like head of the golden terror.

  "Bang—" The Obsidian Stinger and the Polished Gold Terror's gemstone on its forehead simultaneously transmitted a shattering sound.

  The terrible feeling in his left hand told Raven that the Black Onyx Stinger was probably done for. In fact, there had been signs earlier, during the Shadow Festival, when Raven had risked everything to let the only Black Iron-grade Black Onyx Stinger collide head-on with the Golden-grade Secret Silver Full Helmet.

  Even if Kokuyo no Yaiba has sharp properties, it's impossible to defeat the three-stage equipment of Kōfuku. It was probably at that time that Akaza left a hidden wound on Tanjiro's body.

  Fortunately, the Black Moon Blade was lucky enough to trigger the 【Invisible】 special effect, and its sharp blade turned into a virtual shadow that directly pierced the control center of the Platinum Terror Beast's head.

  With a "zap", the platinum golem stopped moving as if it had short-circuited.

  On the other side, Shadowkill had also finished off its opponent. It brutally chopped off the head of another Platinum Golem.

  Just then, Raven was hit by another bolt of golden lightning from the Yellow-Gold Terror, dealing an additional 20 points of damage. Raven's HP had fallen below 50!

  Lei Wen and Ying Sha killed one on the left and one on the right, and then made another fierce dash forward.

  Their powerful attack instantly killed the Golden Terror with a challenge level of only 15.

  But just then something went wrong.

  Suddenly, a larger flash of light appeared at the end of the passage, and Raven's face turned pale in an instant. This was a flash similar to the "Dissociation Technique". In this place, there is only one monster that will use such a technique - it should be hiding in the center of the mine, the leader of the entire mechanical horror group, the Diamond Horror.
