Maybe I have repeated it many times, but some facts remind us time and time again that no matter what world we are in, there is never so-called true fairness. It is very rare to be able to come close to fairness of opportunity. Complete fairness in substance can only appear in theory.
above.
In the world of Ashe, everyone has become accustomed to the law of the jungle where the strong are respected. Races without peak powerhouses can only become vassals and slaves. The most obvious example is probably the high-ranking elves of the silver race who surrendered to the gold race.
The golden elves, while the lower elves, the wild elves with bronze blood, are the vassals of the upper elves.
Humans are the exception? There is no history book as a textbook, but in the memories of the ancients, humans were once vassals of the giants, trolls and elves, but they learned magic and martial arts from these races. In this cruel world
, before it truly rose, that weak race had never been a grandson.
The inherent disadvantage of bloodline always exists, just like humans are never able to arm-wrestle with giants, some things cannot be changed no matter what.
But people can use tools. I don’t know who the pioneer was who came up with it first, but the emergence of “epic legendary weapons” that integrate their own path has indeed given the pinnacle the possibility to surpass the strong men of other races.
The most obvious creation to choose your own fighting style and differentiate the division of combat labor is the "combat profession".
In the era of ancient mythology, there was no division of labor between warriors and mages. Those powerful ancient creatures either used their physical bodies to fight casually, or relied on their instincts to control the elements to attack. This is probably another sense of "there is no way in this world."
Where there are many people, there is a way.”
The pinnacle of a professional is to condense his own path and past into a "tool" that only he can use.
Yes, human skin cannot have as strong a defense as dragon scales. But we can hunt powerful epic beasts and use their thick skin to make armors and wall shields that surpass the defense of city walls.
Yes, humans' magical perception and elemental affinity cannot be compared with elves. But I can use specially made artifacts as part of my body and integrate them into the core of a certain elemental creature or magical creature. To increase the elemental affinity in a certain aspect, or
Specific buffs to a certain spell to make up for the lack of innate spellcasting ability.
Yes, humans can't compete with giants in strength, but I can make an ogre glove to make me infinitely stronger...
Yes, humans cannot fly and their physical strength is limited. But I can make light magic boots...
Yes, humans cannot travel through time, so we integrated the concept of time and made the Sands of Time...
Don't take epic weapons too mysteriously. They are just an extension and sublimation of human instinct to use tools. It's just that the "tools" of the peak experts are recognized by the whole world, but such a targeted path obviously has both advantages and disadvantages.
.
Tools have characteristics, and they are made to make up for their inherent deficiencies. But the other side of the obvious characteristics is the lack of versatility.
You can make a giant dragon-scale shield, but the area without shield defense is fragile. And the heavy armor is never part of the body. The extra weight and discomfort, as well as the covered skin, will definitely affect you.
agility and perception.
Whatever you gain, you must lose. When you decide to use foreign objects to enhance the flaws of the "flesh", it also means that the "flesh" will no longer have the ability to grow, and the shortcomings in other places will become more obvious.
When deciding to use the "tool", the purpose of the "tool" has also been determined, and gains have indeed been achieved in the aspects represented by the "purpose". But in other aspects, there is still no obvious change.
But sometimes battles are not just about the bucket effect. Strengthening strengths as advantages and avoiding hidden weaknesses is the conventional way to win.
"You don't need to be better than your opponent in everything. Knowing your advantages and choosing a fighting method is the key to long-term victory."
Of course, the simplest way to solve the problem is to get a few more tools if one "tool" doesn't work. However, considering the difficulty of becoming a transcendent, the hardship of creating an epic weapon, and most importantly, the bloodline itself cannot afford it.
There are multiple epic weapons that ordinary strong men don’t need to think about.
For humans with inherent deficiencies, advancing to transcendence is not as fast as possible. For most strong people, there is no chance of regret when choosing their own "tools". It is an obvious one-time deal, and once
Making a wrong choice is equivalent to actively limiting one's own growth limit... To put it bluntly, this game character has been out of practice. Heroes, please reincarnate and start over.
Often the formation of an epic weapon is the culmination of a lifetime of hard work and the past. Sometimes, if you forcibly advance without complete preparation, or if you advance at will without any guidance, the final product will be impossible to choose or surpass.
There are also many quite ridiculous ones among them.
For example, there is a strong man who is good at controlling the element of water. His epic weapon condenses his understanding of the water cycle in nature. It is an umbrella that will bring heavy rain as long as he opens it, and he is respected as such
As the "Rain God", it is welcomed by many drought-stricken areas.
But... a water mage of this level can summon heavy rain with just a few moves, which has no benefit at all in combat ability. On the contrary, because the range of influence is too wide, a huge amount of magic power is consumed each time it is used. Once used, the strength will be greatly reduced.
It's much weaker than it was at the epic level.
Although it is ridiculous that he becomes weaker after advancing, he is definitely not the only one.
This is not just about wrong choices and stupidity. Sometimes, disasters fall from the sky, and there is really nothing you can do about it.
There was a master who was born weak and coughed up blood when casting spells. He was so talented that he advanced to gold at the age of twelve. He had reached the pinnacle of research in the field of time. His epic weapons were so powerful that they were said to be able to directly reverse time. It was simply a miracle.
creation.
But miracles come at a price. Every time you use this thing, you have to pay for your life force. No one knows how much you have to pay, because the master died after only using it once.
Too strong will and belief can also lead to wrong results.
There is a transcendent paladin leader who longs for the holy light as warm as the sun to be with him forever. But he does it, and ends up dying of dehydration... This guy is too hostile to the darkness and has too much obsession with "forever"
, the result of not wanting the sun to go down was long-term barbecue. It is said that this guy was worthy of his strong faith and persisted for three months, and finally turned into jerky.
Overly strong faith will affect the subconscious choices of the transcendent. However, Paladins with weak faith cannot go far. There are many cleric Paladins who make mistakes, although not many roast themselves to death and turn themselves into 24.
Hours of light bulbs were very common, until the Holy Church finally compiled these unlucky jokes into the canon, so that the younger generations can take a warning.
On the contrary, they are probably the undead emperors. Most of them were born from ancient humans. They have been stuck under the transcendent for a very long time, but the accumulation will not be in vain. It is also a good thing to think more deeply about the threshold of the transcendent. Once you break through,
The future will be smooth.
Ahem, I'm going too far. In these aspects, due to the experience of entering a transcendent before, I have an obvious advantage. Not only do I have the knowledge accumulation to make multiple weapons, but I also have the soul to carry multiple epic weapons, which are relatively ordinary.
Transcendence can be described as luxury.
But no matter how extravagant it is, it cannot be wasted. The biggest difference from other Transcendents is probably that while they try to summarize what they have learned throughout their lives and strengthen their advantages through an epic weapon, I can think from the functionality of epic weapons and use plural
Epic weapons to make up for deficiencies and flaws.
Holy Sword Dawn, its characteristic is the light of redemption, and my combat positioning for it is Chaos Killer and Holy Light Redeemer. It has two forms, which can weaken the demons and undead on the Chaos side in a wide range, and can also concentrate
The holy light can kill powerful enemies and will be my most reliable helper in the protracted battle with the abyss.
The Demonic Sword Original Sin, or it can also be called the Seven Evil Swords of Creation, is derived from my strongest research on the souls of the undead. Although the design drawings and theories are the first to appear, because the materials are too difficult to obtain, a large number of souls and undead souls are needed.
, the molding time is unpredictable.
But once it comes out, from a design theory point of view, it will be a super killer weapon against all beings with souls. It will be my strongest magic sword. But considering the materials... it will probably
The latest epic weapon to take shape.
My idea of an epic weapon in terms of law has not been completed yet, but considering the special effects of the power of law, and considering that once the Demonic Sword Original Sin is formed, I really don’t need more melee weapons, and I probably will.
Make it a weapon that is more focused on restraint and defense.
As for ice, my research in this area is probably the worst, but when the other three epic weapons have the characteristics of attack, defense, weakening, gain, and restraint, at least functionally, I have already prepared for the ice magic sword.
Found the position.
"A self-disciplined, or semi-automatic, magic sword can also surprise my opponents. If I'm lucky, the upper limit of combat power will be very high."
"...Many of the self-disciplined epic weapons can attack the enemy at the same time regardless of whether we are friends, such as the holy sun that roasts oneself to death. Others are also things that make people laugh or cry. If you are unlucky, they will give buffs to the opponent and hinder your performance.
The upper limit is high and the lower limit is endless, are you sure?"
Heloise's persuasion did not shake my determination. Since many self-discipline weapons cause disasters to both the enemy and ourselves, maybe they are very suitable for me who is used to being unlucky.
"It's decided, Disaster Sword... Even if the Cold Sword in the North Land only brings bad luck and natural disasters, when it comes to avoiding the endless ice and snow disasters in the North Land, I feel that I can at least survive longer than my opponent." To be continued.
ps: Well, let me recommend this book. Our old friend, the author of Allied Military Ship Girls, Papa Sang, has opened a new book. The title is Cute Military Ship Girls: Legion. Book friends who are familiar with him will probably know what genre it is. It’s the same.
The gentle and cute girl is paired with the flavor of a military house. If you are not familiar with it, you can also take a look and maybe you will like it. After all, the quality and updates of the old author are guaranteed.
By the way, his new book is on a mobile app called Happy Book Guest.
