This is completely contrary to the low-amplitude, long-duration overload strategy of the Colin people.
However, since his design concepts for the Magic Guided Reactor and Core Crystal still adhere to the Colin style, they obviously can't support the Dragon Hunters' wild overload. Being able to reach sixty percent is already impressive.
At the same time, he still has to endure the negative penalties brought by Empire-style overload. Although the overload capacity has decreased, the duration cannot be extended.
Fang Hong was very speechless about this, but he could only accept it. This is the trouble caused by conflicting design concepts, and he doesn't have the ability to make major changes.
However, the tactic of following overload with Laido seems to be very effective, as the overload increases combat power by sixty percent—even though combat power isn't fully reflected in attack, the damage from the True Ancient Sword can at least reach the level of five hundred.
Doubling with Laido makes it a thousand, and with two strikes, it could even topple itself.
Fortunately, during the fight with Xiangzi, this move wasn't used; otherwise, Xiangzi might have been injured.
Moreover, no Gunslinger skills were found in the Dragon Hunter's ability list, including the skill they saw that day, a flashy reloading technique, confirming Fang Hong's thoughts.
Its Gunslinger-related abilities, including the ability to act on its own, are probably related to that peculiar Crystal.
But regarding that Crystal, he has no clue at all.
Fang Hong reattached the scattered shells of the Construct and then walked around it with some delight. Although he no longer had the Energy Angel, he now had something even better—a Dragon Hunter.
Though there are only ten, it's enough.
When it comes to the love for novelty and disdain for old things, few people can compare to the Combat Artisan.
Fang Hong quickly forgot all about the Energy Angel.
He clapped his hands; if he were to control them, these two Dragon Hunters would more than suffice to fight one Xiangzi, and if it were purely combat against Constructs, even three Xiangzis might not be a match for four Dragon Hunters.
Of course, combat with a craftsman isn't calculated this way. Few would be foolish enough to fight a Construct; they'd head straight for the craftsman himself.
However, by Fang Hong's estimation, he could more than handle two Xiangzis.
If he had Miss Tata's assistance, controlling ten Dragon Hunters at once, it would be even sweeter; he'd be confident in battling Xiangzi, Parker, and the Big Cat People combined.
He roughly gauged that Reed's real strength should be around Level 30.
Turning around, Fang Hong said, as he unbuckled the Pride of the Lonely King, to Miss Fairy sitting on the corner of the desk: "Miss Tata, do you remember that Sea Demon Mechanism?"
Tata looked up at him, cradling her beloved little teacup.
"I'm planning to install it on the ship."
This was another of Fang Hong's ideas to enhance his strength; the Sea Demon Mechanism was intended for his other set of tactics, the Elf Creation Technique.
However, the Sea Demon Mechanism is too large, and summoning it every time is too cumbersome, and his calculative power isn't enough; the summoned gray-white strength is too weak, unable to play much role as the enemies grow stronger, with basic assistance outweighing practicality.
But now they have the Seven Seas Traveler and the Heart of Fairy, so he had a sudden inspiration; perhaps he could install the Sea Demon Mechanism on the Seven Seas Traveler, using Miss Tata's calculative power to utilize the Elf Creation Technique.
Of course, this would be a big project, and for now, he's just mentioning it.
Outside the porthole, the ship was entering a deeper region of the Abyssal Sea.
