Broken could sense the mounting desperation among his comrades. The tension was clear on their faces, and their relentless attacks bore the strain of the dire situation. The situation worsened with Melliandra ensnared in the monster’s vines, her life hanging by a thread.
But in this critical moment, something he had hoped for finally appeared before him.
[The activation of the Self Transcendence Blessing is triggered.]
The blessing’s progress had reached 97%, and he felt a surge of relief as it finally activated. He hoped this would turn the tide of the raid battle.
[The Self Transcendence Blessing analyzes the optimal upgrade suitable for the current situation.]
[A significant upgrade to the Super Novice Class is in progress.]
[Blessing of Health upgraded to level 3]
[Boost your overall health by 30%. You’re no ordinary beginner — you’re tougher and boast impressive strengths so show them what you’ve got!
Mana Cost: 5% of Total Mana
Cooldown: 20 Minutes
Duration: 5 Minutes]
The cooldown for Blessing of Health had been reduced from an hour to just twenty minutes, and its mana usage had been lowered. Twenty minutes was still a long time, but at least he knew this skill would become even more remarkable as it leveled up further.
[Healing Touch upgraded to level 3]
[You can heal anything with just a touch of your hand, restoring the target’s Health by up to 50% of your magic attack.

Damn, Healing Touch also received an incredible upgrade. The amount of health it healed had increased, and its cooldown had been reduced from twenty seconds to ten.
[Charged Attack upgraded to level 3]
[The user can leap quickly up to 6 meters away, delivering a mini-stun of 0.5 seconds to any opponent they strike. Their attack deals damage equivalent to 540% of their physical attack, ensuring no one can escape their target. Be aggressive, chase them down, and conquer them!

The Charged Attack has been significantly enhanced, with an increased stun duration, higher total damage, and a reduced cooldown. These improvements drastically enhance his potential in battle.
[Quick Strike upgraded to level 3]
[Carry out a swift attack on the opponent for 350% of your physical attack with a slight chance of dealing a critical of 560% of physical attack.

Mana Cost: 280
Cooldown: 20 Seconds.]
And the final skill, Quick Strike, saw its damage output skyrocketing. With these enhancements, his potential with sword-type weapons would be extraordinary.
[Identifying new upgrades for the Super Novice Class…]
The system’s notification chimed, signaling the beginning of a new evaluation.
[Identifying the new compatible weapon type for the user…]
[The user is highly compatible with bow-type weapons.]
[The new skill Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 1 has been unlocked.]
[Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
[Ready, aim, BOOM! Unleash your explosive arrow and watch as it deals a massive amount of damage to your enemies in a wide area! Quickly take advantage of this destructive power and wreak havoc before the enemy has a chance to react. Unleash explosive destruction now!]
[Unleashed an explosive blast that caused an incredible 3,000% physical destruction within a radius of 10 meters (32 feet).
Mana Cost: 1,200 freёwebnovel.com
Cooldown: 60 Seconds
Charge Time: 5 Seconds]
This new skill seemed destined to alter the outcome of the battle. Broken now possessed an archer skill of immense power, capable of inflicting 3,000% physical damage. However, the challenge lay in the 5-second charge time, an obstacle when surrounded by hordes of monsters from every direction. Nevertheless, such a skill was perfect for an archer positioned safely at a distance.
But it was his only option!
There was no other choice for him. If Melliandra was not rescued, the consequences would be dire, resulting in significant losses and further delays to his plans. He had to accomplish something no one else could manage at that moment.
[Level up!]
His eyes gleamed with astonishment as the notification flashed. His level had reached 72, meeting the necessary requirement to use the Kiss of Fortune Ring. This powerful artifact could only be wielded by players at level 172 or higher.
[Projectile’s Kiss: Doubles the power of your physical projectiles, such as arrows or bullets, with this powerful ring.
Mana Cost: 500
Cooldown: 5 Minutes]
This ring would ensure he could deal twice the damage with his ranged attacks, creating an extraordinary combination capable of inflicting massive damage on his targets.
This was his moment. Broken quickly moved within Kingsley’s protective range, drawing his bow. “I need five seconds to charge,” he shouted to everyone around him.
He immediately focused, channeling all his skills with intense concentration.
[Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 1]
All eyes turned toward him, their expressions a mix of confusion at the absurdity unfolding in the heat of battle. He had never mentioned in any prior meetings that he could wield a bow.
“What are you doing, you fool? You’ll get yourself killed standing still like that!” Skywarden
yelled angrily.
“I’ll protect him,” Kingsley declared, striking down monsters that tried to approach Broken. Goldrich shouted, “Do it, Broken! We’ll handle these blasted monsters.”
Broken clenched his jaw, drawing the bowstring taut as he began to charge his ultimate skill. “This is madness!” Skywarden bellowed. “A swordsman doesn’t use a bow! His strikes won’t be strong enough to break those vines.”
Surrounded by a horde of monsters, Broken was at the center of a chaotic storm. Suddenly, a figure clad in silver armor appeared, moving with fluid grace, his sword slicing through monsters as if they were made of paper. It was Livelywood, a smirk playing on his lips. “Please, save Melliandra, Broken-san,” he said softly.
Toberry, the alchemist dressed in a white robe and a blue headband, dashed towards Broken,
a purple potion bottle in hand. He quickly uncorked it and poured the contents into Broken’s
mouth.
“This will boost your dexterity by fifty points for the next thirty seconds. Now go. We’re all counting on you!”
Suddenly, a large vine lashed out of nowhere, striking Toberry and sending him flying with a
scream. “No…!”
Broken steeled his focus, his vision sharpening to crystal clarity with his Hawk’s Eye skill. In the distance, he saw Melliandra trapped and engulfed by massive vines. He needed to free her, longing for her to rejoin the battle.
Several brilliant spheres of light encircled the arrow that he had readied. From a distance, Starfall’s black hair shimmered under the moonlight as she called out to him with a beaming smile, “Broken, I’m counting on you!”
The three energy spheres surrounding the arrow would infuse his attack with the elements of
fire, earth, and wind.
A red aura enveloped Broken’s body. Goldrich’s voice echoed from afar, “Go on, young man! I’m giving you a 50-point boost in Strength!”
From the other side of the battlefield, Jovina came sprinting towards him, her brown hair tied
back in a tight ponytail. As she passed by, her breath lightly brushed against his cheek. She touched his arrow briefly and said, “This buff will increase the damage the farther your arrow flies.” She flashed a quick wink and then dashed back to her post.
The arrow now appeared encased in a shimmering, blue electric energy. “Please… we’re counting on you,” Elincia murmured from a distance, her expression filled with anxiety and hope. She knew the weight of this moment and desperately wanted to make things right.
Broken’s muscles tensed as the countdown reached its climax. He was ready to unleash not just his own power but also the collective power of his party mates through the arrow.
[Projectile’s Kiss (Active Skill)]
In a heartbeat, he released the bowstring, and the arrow shot forth with a resounding whoosh, its energy waves rippling outward in all directions. The force of the release was so immense that he staggered back slightly, the power of the shot reverberating through him. The arrow sliced through the air with the speed of lightning, carrying not only the potential for high explosive damage but also the collective hopes of everyone around him. All eyes were fixed on its trajectory as it disappeared from sight, their silent prayers trailing behind it. “Please, let it work,” they all silently implored.
