Chapter 108 Awakening: Dark Heaven Wave Eye (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
"Ho-"

Upon hearing this, Luca's eyes instantly lit up with a dazzling light, and he gasped.

Although its dog brain completely failed to grasp the terrifying meaning of the word "awakening," it could sense that it was absolutely awesome.

Luca and GSD stood facing each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became like a job change mentor meeting.

GSD stroked his chin and muttered slowly.

"Young warrior, in order to complete the [Awakening] and unleash the power within you, you should have collected 10 large red crystals, 10 large white crystals, 100 super-grade hardening agents, and 100 steel pieces. Then, you should have gone to the Bilmark Empire Proving Grounds in the Loran region to collect 40 Terrastones, submitted 1000 duel points, cleared the King's Ruins in Dark City 5 times, defeated the lord Hammer King Borodin, and finally went to the Mechanical Bull dungeon again, clearing it 5 times and defeating the Minotaur Mechanical King..."

Luca was completely overwhelmed by the long list of prerequisites for awakening.

The complex gameplay of 2D side-scrolling games gives this turn-based children's game a terrifyingly powerful edge.

Back then, out of the eight million Arad warriors, countless were turned away by the difficult awakening conditions, still stuck with basic job titles like "Red Eye" and "White Hand" even at level 50.

Those who can complete the [Awakening] quest and undergo a second job advancement are all terrifyingly powerful individuals.

However, just as Luca's brain was malfunctioning, GSD changed the subject and said with great emotion.

"But you've caught a good version. Now [Awakening] has removed all those prerequisite quests. We'll keep it simple and directly comprehend the origin of the fluctuations."

As he spoke, GSD slowly raised his hand, palm up, with a faint blue halo dancing within it, and began to explain the mysteries of wave to Luca.

"Fluidity is the origin of all things, the pulse of the universe. It exists in every inch of air, every drop of water, and every wisp of wind. And you, young warrior, possess a rare affinity for fluctuation within you."

This isn't just idle talk. As a noble blue-skinned dog, Luca is born with a set of skills related to wave guidance, so he really can be associated with wave effects.

It held its breath and listened intently to the profound mysteries of wave energy imparted by the ghost swordsman mentor.

"Feel it, don't look at it with your eyes, but touch it with your heart. Close your eyes, feel the energy fluctuations within you, imagine it rushing like a river, leaping like a flame."

Luca closed his eyes as instructed, immersing himself completely in this wondrous sensation.

At first, it felt nothing; its body was completely silent.

But gradually, it began to feel something awakening within its body, like a long-dormant dragon slowly opening its eyes.

Just then, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came from behind!

"careful!"

A look of alarm flashed across GSD's face, and in the nick of time, he shoved Luca away.

The next second, two cold lights flashed, and two shocking wounds instantly appeared on GSD's chest, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

HP-999!

"GSD!"

Luca exclaimed in surprise.

Feeling the weakness coursing through his body, GSD gritted his teeth and said.

"Damn this [Weakened State]... I've been AFK for too long and the system is punishing me. Now all my attribute values ​​are only 10% of what they were, so I can't unleash my true power. Young warrior, it's up to you now!"

Upon hearing this, Luca immediately turned to look at the attacker.

It was a massive, muscular praying mantis, dressed in the uniform of a naval captain, its arms like two giant axes, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"Colonel Monka!"

Luca gritted his teeth, immediately realizing the other party's identity, and his eyes blazed with fury.

Colonel Monca gave a cold laugh, his voice as harsh as the scraping of metal.

"Hmph, my good-for-nothing son was actually defeated by a brat like you. Although that useless thing isn't worth my revenge, you dared to run wild on my turf, you're asking for death!"

Faced with the mastermind, Luca was furious, and his Fighting-type energy erupted instantly.

"You despicable scoundrel, you dare to resort to sneak attacks without any sportsmanship! Today I'll show you what the Mamba Mentality is all about!"

Like an arrow released from a bow, Luca charged toward Colonel Monca in an instant, his right elbow wreathed in dazzling fighting energy, striking Monca's chest like a blue lightning bolt.

"Humph!"

Colonel Monca snorted coldly, his muscles instantly hardening, and his skin gleaming with a metallic sheen.

boom!
Luca's elbow strike landed heavily on Colonel Monca's chest, producing a dull thud, but it was as if it had struck steel, failing to budge his opponent in the slightest.

"Nani?!"

Luca stared wide-eyed in disbelief as his elbow strike had no effect whatsoever.

Colonel Monka grinned maliciously, his eyes flashing with disdain.

"You stupid dog, this is the 'Iron Body' from the Six Powers of the Navy, which makes your entire body as hard as steel. Your insignificant attack can't even budge me!"

Luca gritted his teeth, quickly creating distance, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

It had never encountered such a formidable opponent before. In the past, its elbow strikes, inherited from Lao Da, were the deadly finishing blows, always effective.

But today, when facing Colonel Monca, his proud elbow strike technique was completely unable to break through the opponent's defense.

"Damn it, this bastard also knows the Six Powers of the Navy, and it's even the [Iron Body] that I haven't been able to master! What should I do now?"

Luca was rapidly searching for a solution.

At this moment, GSD, who was lying on the ground, struggled to raise his head, his voice weak but firm.

"Luca, remember what I just taught you. Feel the vibrations and let them guide your power. Only the power of these vibrations can break through the iron block's defenses!"

Upon hearing this, Luca's eyes lit up with understanding. That's right, use... the Tempest Kick!
Only the Six Styles can defeat the Six Styles!

Luca took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and recalled GSD's teachings.

[Feel the fluctuations, not with your eyes, but with your heart. Close your eyes and feel the energy fluctuations within you, imagine them flowing like a river, leaping like a flame.]

At this critical moment, Luca's mind was calmer than ever before.

It no longer uses its eyes to see, but uses its heart to feel everything around it.

A wonderful feeling welled up inside me, as if the whole world was pulsating within my perception.

The movement of air, the tremors of the earth, and even the energy fluctuations within Colonel Monca's body were clearly perceived by it.

So this is... the power of waveguides!
Luca's lips curled up slightly, and the energy within his body began to flow in a completely new way, as if it had found the right river channel and was surging forward without end.

Seeing that Luca had closed his eyes and was not moving, Colonel Monca grinned and pounced on him.

"Foolish brat, daring to close your eyes in battle? You're asking for death!"

However, Luca could clearly see Monka's every movement and every fluctuation of energy.

"Now, let the power of wave guide me..."

Luca suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed with an unprecedented blue light.

Its right leg began to glow faintly with a blue light, and wave power gathered in the leg muscles like a tide.

"Lanjiao!"

With a soft shout, Luca's right leg shot out like an arrow, tracing a beautiful arc in the air.

boom!
Another muffled thud!
Lan's kick sent sparks flying as it struck Monka's chest, but the iron block remained sturdy!

"Nani!"

Luca suddenly realized that he had not fully grasped the essence of the Tempest Kick.

It can sense the presence of the wave power within its body, but it cannot truly master the profound meaning of [wave vibration] and perfectly integrate the wave power into the Tempest Kick.

Damn it! GSD, you didn't explain things clearly in your tutorial!
Why did you only teach me about "feeling waves"? Where am I supposed to learn about the missing part, "wave vibrations"?

This awakening quest is way too difficult!

"Hahahaha! Is that all you've got? Your half-baked Tempest Kick can't even break my iron block, what makes you think you can fight me!"

Monka swung his sharp, axe-like arms and slashed fiercely at Luca.

At that moment, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

"shave!"

With a soft shout, Luca vanished from his spot, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

"Humph, what a small trick!"

Monka's lips curled into a disdainful sneer before his body vanished from the spot, leaving only a low roar.

"shave!"

What?! Old Deng can shave too?!

Luca was shocked. Before he could react, Monca's enormous body appeared behind him like a ghost, moving at an astonishing speed.

Luca's pupils contracted sharply, and he activated the second stage of Shave again, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

But Monca's axe arm still left a horrifying wound on its back.

Blood gushed out like a fountain. Luca groaned and staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.

"Hahahaha! You think you're the only one who knows the Six Styles of the Navy? I'm a legitimate Navy Captain, and my Six Styles are already mastered! Your skills are no match for me!"

Monka used Shave again, his figure as fast as lightning, instantly appearing in front of Luca. He crossed his arms and slashed at Luca's chest like the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Luca managed to raise his arm to block, but against Monca's overwhelming power, his defense was practically nonexistent without mastering the [Iron Body].

"Click——"

With a sharp crack, Luca felt as if his arm had been struck by a giant hammer.

Its body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the cross.

"Damn it... How can this guy be so strong? He's on a completely different level from the previous enemies!"

Luca still didn't understand; this was the legendary "plot-driven death"!
If it fails to complete the key plot points, the BYD director can step on his own two feet and infinitely increase the strength of the NPC [Colonel Monca].

"Young warrior!"

GSD cried out anxiously.

Luca struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but the fighting spirit in his eyes remained undiminished.

"Don't worry, GSD... I can still fight!"

Monka scoffed disdainfully and suddenly swung his axe at Luca.

"It's just a death throes. Today, you two will both die!"

At this moment, GSD finally made its move!
