Chapter 135: Just a Play for Fun
Vajra Body?
When Leon saw this Golden Finger reward, the first thing he thought of was the monkey Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong is a typical high-defense, low-offense player... His attack isn’t necessarily weak, it just seems a bit low compared to his defense. He relies entirely on his Vajra Body, daring to stretch out his neck for the opponent to strike no matter how strong they were. Other than a few rare magical treasures and Divine Skills, he could ignore most damage.
Leon could hardly imagine how strong he would be if he had Sun Wukong’s Vajra Body. He couldn’t say he’d face Divine beings without any fear, as Divine beings have many methods, but at the very least, he might be unrivaled on the Material Plane.
Unfortunately, the ideal is full-bodied, but reality is skeletal. His Sleeve of the Universe isn’t as strong as Zhen Yuanzi’s, and his Vajra Body isn’t as robust as Sun Wukong’s.
Indeed, his Vajra Body isn’t as strong as Sun Wukong’s, but mainly because Sun Wukong’s Vajra Body is simply too overpowering, ridiculously exceeding the standards, and not because his own is weak – after all, it is a high-level reward.
Leon could clearly feel that as he acquired the Vajra Body, the scales on his body became even tougher. Previously, Hunting Demon’s arrows could penetrate his scales, but now, probably not. He would at least be immune to non-refined gold weapons and non-Magic Attack blunt strikes, punctures, and swings.
Merely this is not enough for Vajra Body to be considered a high-level reward because immunity to non-refined gold weapons and non-Magic Attack blunt strikes, punctures, and swings is standard for many mighty constructed creatures. It’s useful but not that useful since it’s easy for powerful beings to perform a Magic Attack.
The strength of the Vajra Body lies in its ability to be actively triggered to achieve almost immunity to all attacks.
Of course, it definitely has drawbacks as well. Activating the Vajra Body consumes Mana, and maintaining it also consumes Mana, which isn’t a small amount. Those clever enemies can entirely choose to avoid battle, waiting for the effects of Vajra Body to wear off before attacking.
Ah, Mana, it’s always about Mana.
