Chương 184: Swing God

Meno was 100% locked in. Everyone else knew what to do. BrineSaint would Taunt when necessary, Arayu and Kestrel would handle the mountain, and Karmabeast would maintain Venom Tyrant while keeping Brine from floating away. That left Meno with one job: maximum damage. It had been a while since he had used Chain Madness, and 10 attacks per second was not just a number in VR.

His arm would become a blur, but the movement still had to stay steady, every attack angle needed to remain clean, and he could not randomly shift his arm even slightly without losing time. At 10 attacks per second, another swing came every 0. 1 seconds. If Meno introduced even a 0. 1-second break into the rhythm, that single gap doubled the time between two attacks and cut his damage in half for that moment.

Let enough tiny delays slip into the pattern and the theoretical 10 attacks per second stopped meaning anything. There was simply no room for sloppy movement. Meno had to keep the attack pattern running inside his own head nonstop while his arm moved too fast to properly follow. He still had to maintain the right distance, keep each swing passing cleanly through Velnir, correct his angle whenever the boss shifted, and do all of it without letting those corrections disturb the rhythm.

Chain Madness was not free damage. Actually holding it at maximum potential required laser focus. Viewers would almost certainly misunderstand what they were seeing. On video, Meno's arm would mostly look like a blur while he did what looked like normal Meno things. The speed did not translate properly through a screen, and neither did the tiny corrections required to keep every 0. 1-second attack window clean. It was like watching someone take a corner in a racecar.

From outside, the movement could look smooth and almost easy. Sitting behind the wheel at that speed was completely different. Brake too cautiously and you threw away time. Turn slightly wrong and you met the wall. Meno needed to take the corner with the brakes removed. He inserted his Legendary VI Quadrillionator into the Madness Slot. Miraculously, it worked, although the weapon disappeared from his hands until Chain Madness activated. That was fine. Meno was already moving.

They jumped into the crater, and with 21 million viewers watching, Meno kicked off with False Wings and launched himself toward Velnir like a rocket. The boss rushed closer as he lined up the approach, every thought narrowing down to distance, angle, and the rhythm he would need to hold for the next minute. The moment Velnir entered range, Meno activated Mush for Reduction Pierce, then Chain Madness for Speed.

Quadrillionator snapped back into his hands, his body tripled in size, and the first swing tore through the boss as Meno drove straight into the next. Now he just had to take the damn corner. Perfect rhythm. Full throttle. Go! 1 second. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

"This was pointless. Who needs a Divine Evolution anyway?"
