Realm of Myths and Legends

Chapter 1074: What Kind of Monster Did We Run Into?!

'He mentioned it dropping an item last time, but according to what I know, mythical creatures move locations once they are discovered. Is this one somewhat different?'

Initially, Izroth was just somewhat curious about this Golden Imp Feral Blade mentioned. But, if it was a mythical creature, he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

'I extended my Energy Vision Sense to its maximum range, but I didn't detect anything that might be a mythical creature. Being able to hide itself so well, I suppose it's not called special existences for nothing.'

Suddenly, Feral Blade's glowed blue as his muscles bulked up and a fiercely wild aura encompassed him. This was one of the main buff skills of his Rageborn Berserker class, Battle Frenzy. This skill temporarily increased his attack power severalfold and caused his attacks to have a cleave effect. In return, his defense was reduced to zero for its duration.

Of course, with such high attack power, Feral Blade was confident in slaying his enemies before they got a chance to inflict any damage. This was even more so if that person was a player.

Along with the buffs he received from I Am Diligent, Feral Blade felt like a tiger with wings. "Given how he was able to sneak up on us, he must be a rogue-type class who can use a high- ranking stealth skill. That attack just now was probably an ambush-type move. That's how he managed to defeat someone like Nighting, who has low health and defense, in one move. We just have to prevent him from entering stealth and not allow him to ambush us. As long as we can do that, our victory is guaranteed." Feral Blade explained as he tightened his grip on his battle axe.

He then continued, "Hazard, try to lock him down so that he doesn't have a chance to use stealth or escape. Diligent-use any crowd control skills whenever you see an opening and watch my health. We're going!"

The instant Feral Blade gave the order, he dashed toward Izroth head-on. Almost exactly at the same time, Hazard charged forward with a large burst of movement speed, rushing ahead of Feral Blade.

Hazard executed one of the warrior-type classes' most popular skills, Unimpeded Rush. It granted one a short burst of massive movement speed and allowed him to close the distance with his target in a flash. However, there was a reason why most elite players rarely used Unimpeded Rush against skilled players. There was one glaring downside.

Woosh!

Just as Hazard was about to crash into Izroth with his shield, he vanished, causing Hazard to hit nothing but air.

"Fast...!" Hazard thought to himself as his Unimpeded Rush came to an end.

As it did so, Hazard was unable to move or take any action. This was the downside to Unimpeded Rush. If the person executing the skill did not make contact with a target, they were staggered for 0.5 seconds. While that was not a lot of time, it was more than enough of a window for even the most novice of players to take advantage of.

A sleek black dagger could be seen in Izroth's hand, which had a cold sharpness to it as he stood next to Hazard. This was the Obsconis Hunting Dagger that Izroth received from slaying the Ferae Obsconis Mantis in the Ferae Jungle.

The moment Izroth equipped the dagger, his speed seemed to jump to an even more terrifying degree than usual. Although he was not using any movement-type skill, Izroth's speed was even faster than when he had his Flickering Steps active.

This was due to the effects of the new title he acquired, Gift of Divine Speed.

'It's a shame I did not obtain a divine title. But, a pseudo-divine title sure lives up to its name.'

Title Name: Gift of Divine Speed(Solitary Pseudo-Divine)

Title Benefit(s):

-Immune to slow.

-Gain 100% movement speed. Increased to 500% when out of combat for 30 seconds.

-Gain 100% agility. Increased to 200% for the first 1 minute of combat.

Gift of Divine Speed was not just a pseudo-divine title, it was the rarest type of title in RML- a combat-type title!

There were a near-limitless number of titles in RML; however, the vast majority of those titles did not directly affect a player's stats. Most titles were like Izroth's Scholar or Protector of Amaharpe titles; they simply allowed players access to things they may not have or granted them a small benefit.

Titles granting five percent or ten percent stat increases were heard of; however, there was never any mention of it increasing a main stat by 100%. It even went a step further and doubled that amount to 200% for the first one minute of combat.

Perhaps the most shocking aspect was that the Gift of Divine Speed title was a solitary title. In RML, players could only equip one primary and one secondary title at a time. However, when it came to solitary titles, a player could equip as many as they wanted.

Of course, while the boost to his agility was the main thing that caught Izroth attention about the title, he did not dismiss the other benefits it granted him. Being immune to slow meant that his agility stat and movement speed could not be reduced under most circumstances. And, gaining a permanent 100% movement speed buff that increased to a breathtaking 500% when out of combat spoke for itself.

With the Obsconis Hunting Dagger equipped, Izroth's agility shot up to over 11,000 points. With the movement speed boost from his title and other skills, his current movement speed was more similar to someone with more than 22,000 points of agility!

Suddenly, a sharp sword intent erupted from next to Hazard as he felt a heavy force crash into his side.

Hazard felt as though the wind had been knocked out of him, and he was sent tumbling back several meters.

"What did he just hit me with..?! It felt like I got struck by a giant hammer...!" Hazard thought to himself as his eyes fell onto the weapon in Izroth's hand.

What Hazard saw next caused his eyes to widen in disbelief as he tried to make sense of things. A dagger? Such a heavy attack came from that little dagger? He had taken hits from two-handed greatswords that did not have even half that amount of weight behind their strikes. He, a tank in fully plated heavy armor, had been sent flying back by an attack from a dagger? Additionally, that simple attack reduced his HP by more than 20%?

"That's ridiculous...! What kind of monster did we run into?!" Hazard thought to himself as
