Episode 263 Chapter 50: Noble Soul (16)

Noble Soul (16)

Chelriban the Invincible.

He is truly a unique dark mage. Among the countless characters in Aether World Online, he is likely the most distinctive.

Players once tried to classify characters' abilities not just by their class or rank but also by subjective measures such as combat power.

Combat power included attack power, defense, speed, and utility, with players' subjective opinions recorded. However, the most crucial aspects were 'magic attack power' and 'defense power.'

For 9th-class mages, the average combat power was around 100. Eltman Elthwin had an attack power of 120 and a defense power of 80, while Florin had an attack power of 90 and a defense power of 130.

Most players agreed that these estimates were fairly accurate, although there were, of course, dissenting opinions since they were subjective. However, there was one combat power that everyone agreed upon.

[Chelriban]

9th-Risk Dark Mage

Magic Attack Power: 10

Magic Defense Power: 300

That was Chelriban.

In terms of numbers, it might seem bizarre. His attack power was only at the level of a novice mage, but his defense power was the strongest on this land.

To put it simply, to break through Chelriban's defense, at least two or three 9th-class mages would need to combine their attack power.

Isn't that overpowered?

Not necessarily.

Trait [Thought Control].

The ability to control and dominate the opponent's magic, making it his own.

Skill [Shield of Dangal toywol].

The ability to perfectly defend against and counter all types of attacks.

These two abilities of Chelriban might as well be the opponent's rather than his own.

In other words, if Chelriban decided to kill someone, but the opponent only defended without counterattacking, the fight wouldn't end.

But if...

If Chelriban's defensive abilities disappeared? If he actually faced two 9th-class mages simultaneously and his 'absolute defense' cracked?

"Oh my, even the invincible Chelriban gets hurt when his shield is broken, huh?"

"...Cough!"

At Soya's mocking tone, Chelriban wiped the blood flowing from his mouth with his sleeve.

"A Spirit Slayer..."

Unlike when he faced Aryumun and Florin before, Chelriban's eyes now held a merdourous intent.

However, Soya only smiled, indifferent to his change in demeanor.

To her, Chelriban was now just a tiger without fangs.

'The kid was right.'

Baek Yuseol had told her about Chelriban's weakness, and it was surprisingly simple. Instead of targeting his weak points or trauma, he pointed out that Chelriban's 'personality' itself was his weakness.

'He fights everyone with his full strength...'

To win against someone with 10 power, one only needs to use 15 power.

But for Chelriban, such a tactic was impossible. The 'absolute defense' wasn't a convenient feature.

Even when facing an opponent that posed only 1 unit of threat, he would use all 300 units of his power to fight.
