Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Chapter 252 Combining Techniques



In point of fact, "Godlike Focus" was not something that Raydon came up with on the fly. It was a term that originated in his previous world, coined by millions of people who had witnessed his unwavering concentration and exceptional combat prowess while solo-killing powerful world bosses. The term became widely used to describe Raydon\'s extraordinary ability to maintain an unparalleled level of focus during intense battles.

There were many game bosses in Raydon\'s previous world that were considered impossible to kill solo. Nevertheless, from time to time, some professional players appeared and were able to kill these bosses solo by displaying superhuman abilities. And when it came to these professional players, Raydon was without a shadow of a doubt the one who was most well-known and famous for possessing these superhuman talents.

And this technique, which millions of people refer to as Godlike Focus, was arguably Raydon\'s most well-known.

Player instinct is undeniably a talent that every professional gamer possesses, and it is what enables them to navigate the unpredictable and unrelenting attacks of bosses during intense battles. However, there are certain situations where the boss\'s attacks are either too fast or possess area-of-effect skills that make evasion impossible, regardless of the player\'s instinctual abilities.

In a similar vein, as the level of difficulty increases, the rate at which stones are thrown at Raydon will increase, eventually reaching a point where his speed will no longer be able to keep up with it.

Because it was impossible to avoid these attacks under any circumstances, an alternative strategy needed to be implemented in order to defend against them. And this was the strategy that professional players used: if you are aware that the next attack will be one that you are unable to avoid, you should simply disrupt it and stop it from happening.

And this is where the \'Godlike Focus\' or the technique known by its alternative name, \'Disturb,\' came into play.

\'\'He got to the 8th difficulty level,\'\' Galen said, looking at the screen. Now, the speed and quantity of stones at this level were undoubtedly too much for someone with just one agility stat to avoid.

\'\'It\'s coming. \'\' In the room above, Cael muttered. This level was now even beyond what was possible for a technique of a high tier to pass, and he wondered how Raydon would deal with this level.

And as soon as everyone saw Raydon\'s quick dagger move, they all froze in shock.

Zephyr muttered, "Is this even possible?"

After reaching level 8, the first stone was still forming in the air, but Raydon\'s black dagger somehow, with a perfectly timed stab move, completely stopped the stone from forming, causing it to vanish before it had even had a chance to take shape.

Then, just as before, he used a dagger move to eliminate the second stone before it even had a chance to form.

And third…

Fourth…

Fifth…

Raydon moved with the dagger in his hand with the grace of a dancer, displaying an extraordinary amount of flexibility and concentration. In a flash, he shattered the stones that were gathering into projectiles, thereby preventing them from being hurled in his direction.

\'\'He made the decision to destroy the stones before they were thrown after realizing he could no longer outrun their increasing speed. But how is he accomplishing this? This level of concentration is absolutely terrifying,\'\' Elara exclaimed in shock. She was captivated, almost in a trance-like state, as she observed Raydon\'s mesmerizing movements with the dagger.

As everyone in the room attempted to imagine themselves in Raydon\'s position, a collective realization dawned upon them: they couldn\'t replicate what he was accomplishing at that moment. While it was feasible to parry stones with the dagger, as Mell had demonstrated earlier, the concept of anticipating their formation and striking their precise origin point before they even materialized seemed utterly impossible.

Everyone up until this point believed it was impossible because they had seen the family head attempt to do the same thing to pass level 6 multiple times in the past, and some of them had even tried it themselves. 

In most cases, when they used their weapons to make a move in an attempt to stop the stones from forming, they were only able to succeed in doing so for a maximum of one second. After that, the stone continued to form and was thrown again in a fraction of a second, regardless of the disruption. But what Raydon did now was completely destroy the stones before they were even formed.

This formation was not as simple as it first appeared, and it is even something that a high-rank item holder can use to train their techniques, as there should not be any flaws or bugs in it. Raydon, on the other hand, had some way of discovering the weakness of this formation, as evidenced by the fact that he was able to locate the focal point of the stones before they formed and destroy them at the exact right moment.

\'\'I see. To accomplish this, he is combining the techniques. And I think the fact that he is employing a high-tier dagger technique is also something he is purposefully doing in order to try to show us something.\'\' Arden said in an excited tone. 

It was evident to all observers that Raydon\'s current dagger technique was high-tier as well. With each move he made, he flawlessly adjusted the grip of the dagger to suit his next attack. This ensured that he was able to continue his chain attacks in a fluid manner without any hint of strain or awkwardness. 

His actions were marked by an impressive sense of naturalness and dexterity, as he effortlessly switched the dagger from one hand to the other during the course of his movements. In fact, at times, he created an illusion for the onlookers, appearing as if he wielded two identical daggers in both hands rather than just a single weapon.

Arden continued after taking a few moments to inhale deeply. \'\'To begin, he identified the flaw in our technique and demonstrated that it is in fact composed of two distinct high-tier techniques. With the help of the player instinct technique, he keeps track of where the stones are. Then, using Godlike Focus to find the formation\'s weak point, he locates the area in which the mana is concentrated as the stones form. Finally, using the dagger technique, he interrupts the mana gathering at the ideal angle and moment, destroying the stones before they can form. \'\'
