Chapter 497: Have you ever seen a road roller fall from the sky?
Ability backlash!?
This was everyone's first reaction upon seeing this scene.
Upon seeing this, Hong Meiling even retracted the ki she had condensed in her hands, looking at Cheng Tian with a very puzzled expression.
The flying dragon, formed entirely of Demon Realm Black Flames, savagely tore at the spellcaster, its powerful thrust and destructive force plowing the arena, which had only been repaired yesterday, into scattered fragments once again.
But now, no one cared about the integrity of the pitiful arena; everyone was craning their necks, trying to observe the mouth of the black dragon circling above the field, wanting to see what Cheng Tian had become and if he had been eaten or incinerated by the black dragon.
However, soon, entities sensitive to energy noticed something unusual.
The aura of the soaring black flying dragon was rapidly diminishing.
Was it spontaneously dissipating due to the spellcaster's disappearance?
...Of course not!
Within the dragon's head, constructed entirely of Demon Realm Black Flames, two figures reappeared, and with their emergence, the flying dragon's 'dissipation' rate surged dramatically, shrinking at a visible speed until it vanished without a trace, leaving only Cheng Tian and The World, who, in the eyes of others, should have been burned to ashes by the spell's backlash, but were now completely unharmed.
Cheng Tian stood in place, flexing his hands and stomping his feet, looking as if he was testing a new body.
But in the vision of Hong Meiling and the other yokai, Cheng Tian, who appeared clean and refreshed, had a phantom of a black dragon coiled around his back, and simultaneously, his already terrifying amount of demonic energy had clearly more than doubled.
"Monster..."
Sweat seeped from Hong Meiling's temples and began to drip, but before it could reach her chin, it was evaporated by her own Mammoth internal energy.
Cheng Tian had already opened his personal panel.
His Strength and Agility attributes, which were only 21 and 14 points without equipment, had all become the maximum of 50 points, identical to his Spirit, at this moment.
At the same time, his MP bar, originally capped at 1250 points, had now doubled to 2500 points, and his current MP, which was nearly 400 points, also doubled to 800 points, but it was rapidly evaporating at a rate of 10 MP per second.
Cheng Tian had devoured the Black Dragon Wave, transforming it into a nutrient that caused his demonic power to explode!
The Evil King's Flame Kill Black Dragon Wave, while possessing immense destructive power and black flame scorching effects, capable of delivering annihilating blows to enemies, could also act as a special buff for the spellcaster, providing comprehensive enhancements.
Not only did it double Cheng Tian's MP reserves and cap simultaneously, but it also granted his Strength and Agility attributes, representing physical strength, a temporary boost equivalent to his Spirit value.
Because Cheng Tian's Spirit was already at its maximum, his Strength and Agility also reached their maximum.
However, this effect also came at a price.
Even if Cheng Tian did nothing but simply stand there, his MP would rapidly deplete at a rate of 10 MP per second, and the moment his MP bottomed out, Cheng Tian himself would be forced into a mandatory hibernation-like state due to the dual mental and physical burden brought by the explosively growing demonic power!
According to the original work, Hiei, after devouring the Black Dragon Wave, couldn't resist the terrifying drowsiness and immediately fell into a deep sleep for seven or eight hours after the battle.
However, the game template Cheng Tian is currently using suggests that after MP or demonic power is exhausted, he should only be forced into a temporary stun and the Black Dragon Wave buff status would be removed... probably.
Additionally, because the Hiei template is temporarily loaded in a stacked manner, the Stand User's template still exists.
And as a Stand unit, which is closely linked to spiritual power and even the soul, damage sustained by the Stand is synchronously reflected to the user, and changes in the user's attributes are also reflected in the Stand.
The Black Dragon Coiling effect, which appeared behind Cheng Tian due to swallowing the Black Dragon Wave, gradually transformed from a phantom into reality... and simultaneously appeared on The World's back!
From the panel's perspective, The World's Destruction Power and Speed attributes, which had been dragged down to B-rank due to Cheng Tian's main body, returned to A-rank at this moment!
"Head-on! I'll crush you!"
Hearing Cheng Tian's declaration of victory, Hong Meiling's body tensed suddenly.
It's coming!
The World remained in place, but Cheng Tian pushed off with his legs, directly rocketing into the air with an explosion of black flames, like a missile launched from a silo, instantly flying to a height of a hundred meters.
Cheng Tian raised both hands above his head, and his MP, which was already in a state of continuous consumption, suddenly decreased by another 200 points.
But what followed was a vehicle appearing out of thin air above Cheng Tian's raised hands—
Dio Brando Template Skill: ROAD ROLLER DA!
Unlike Dio himself, who could only summon a road roller, Cheng Tian could randomly summon a physical projection from all the vehicles he currently carried and fulfill the mission that the road roller was supposed to accomplish.
As a title-derived ability, the Void Garage was not within the scope of challenge bans, and all 7 vehicles inside, except for the Mammoth War Elephant which was scrounging for bananas in the arena, were fully staffed.
And the projection Cheng Tian randomly summoned this time... was the "Radar" unit, known as the King of the Land!
It was also the largest and most terrifying in terms of explosive effect among the currently held vehicles.
"EAT MY RADAR!"
Cheng Tian, who appeared tiny in comparison to the Radar, carried the massive war machine that should never appear in a fighting arena, and smashed it down fiercely onto the arena, which had already turned into cookie crumbs and couldn't be pieced back together!
...Is this a fighting skill!?
Expressions that could only be described as "horrified" appeared on the faces of the fighters and players.
But if Cheng Tian could use it successfully, it meant that this thing was indeed a fighting skill according to the rules.
However, considering the fact that even Obelisk the Tormentor had already appeared in the fighting tournament, looking at the rapid descent of this massive, dark Radar unit didn't seem so hard to accept anymore... Yet, facing the rapidly approaching dark treads, Hong Meiling neither dodged nor flinched; the ki on her body had already climbed to its peak.
Crack!
The bricks beneath Hong Meiling's feet shattered.
The powerful force was first transmitted from her heel to her hips, then extended from her hips to her chest, shoulders, arms, and finally... her fist!
Like a cannonball fired after being loaded, Hong Meiling's full-power punch directly met the attack from above, simultaneously producing a terrifying sound akin to an airburst—
Strike Sigil: Great Roc Fist!
The small fist and the utterly disproportionate giant machine collided head-on!
Blinding light instantly filled the vision of all spectators, and then the Radar unit's projection, which was already emitting fluctuations similar to 2887, violently exploded.
Boom!
