Chapter 44 He immediately changed his tactics

PD was stunned. "The monsters' movement speed is too fast; heavy-armored units can't hold them at all! We can only rely on the five-star big shots' ultimates to clear the screen!"

He immediately changed his tactics. Holding onto his mana tightly at the start, he finally scraped together 32 Cost and placed Gilgamesh on the high ground.

"Gil! Shoot them dead for me!"

Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon indeed dealt high damage, but the health of these Oni was simply too high. Without using a Noble Phantasm, they couldn't be instantly killed.

PD stared anxiously at the skill point (SP) progress bar above Gilgamesh's portrait.

According to Gilgamesh's attack speed, he needed to stand and output for at least 40 seconds to fully charge his ultimate, [Enuma Elish]!

But the Oni of Rashomon wouldn't give you 40 seconds at all!

"Hurry! Let the ultimate be ready!"

Under PD's despairing gaze, the Oni swarm pushed through Gilgamesh's normal attacks and forced their way through the defensive line.

At this moment, Gilgamesh's ultimate progress bar had only reached a pitiful 50%.

[Mission Failed]

A night passed, and the player forums across Blue Star completely turned into a massive mourning scene.

"Scum devs! Stat inflation! This is definitely stat inflation!"

"The monsters run faster than dogs, their health is thicker than city walls, heavy-armored units can't hold, and ultimates can't be charged! This Rashomon isn't meant for humans to play!"

"Impossible! I declare this stage absolutely impossible! Even with a full team of max-level five-stars, you'll just be instantly trampled by these mad dog Oni!"

Countless high-end players and whales met their downfall at the gates of Rashomon, questioning their lives.

Until the next morning, a video titled "Who Says Rashomon is Impossible? The Man You Trampled into the Sewer is the True God of This World!" was quietly posted by the uploader "White Night."

With extreme reluctance and curiosity, PD clicked on the video.

In the video, White Night's lineup not only included the usual low-star Vanguards and Defenders to survive and generate Cost in the early game, but more strikingly, his two core Servants:

One was the top Berserker praised by the entire internet—[Berserker Vlad III].

The other was the "weakest five-star" being trampled underfoot by the entire internet—[Caster Zhuge Liang]!

"Bringing a support with no damage to a high-difficulty stage? What is he thinking?"

PD was full of question marks.

The video began to play. In the early stage, White Night used Cu Chulainn and Georgios with extreme difficulty to hold back the first wave of Oni charges, relying on kills to generate Cost and finally accumulating a large amount of mana.

But immediately after, a Boss-level Oni Leader, as large as a small mountain, roared and charged toward the already teetering defensive line with frenzied movement speed and world-destroying attack power.

In a conventional strategy, the Boss must be killed before it contacts the defensive line; otherwise, with one swing of its hammer, the entire defense would melt instantly!

With extremely fast hand speed, White Night deployed Vlad III in the most dangerous melee position, then threw Zhuge Liang onto the nearby high ground.

Attentive viewers noticed that White Night had equipped Vlad III with a 3-star Craft Essence that usually no one cared about—Dragon's Meridian.

This card's trait was: upon deployment, it starts with an initial 50% skill point (SP) charge!

As a Berserker, Vlad III was extremely fragile, and his Noble Phantasm required a long charging time.

Seeing the frenzied Oni Leader already in front of him, raising its deadly spiked club and about to smash Vlad III into meat paste.

Just then, Zhuge Liang on the high ground waved the white feather fan in his hand.

Kongming's three god-tier skills: [Discernment of the Spirit], [Strategists Advice], and [Tactician's Command] were instantly clicked in succession by White Night at this moment!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

An incredible miracle exploded on the retinas of all the players from the other world!

Under the effect of Kongming's skills, a massive 50% mana charge was instantly infused!

The [SP] progress bar above Vlad III's portrait, which was stuck at half-full, suddenly skyrocketed like a rocket, jumping from 50% directly to 100%!!

Fully charged, Noble Phantasm ready!
