Chapter 62 -62-Win the Bet, No Penalty for Losing
After thoroughly reading the description of the Astral Tide talent, Link’s lips twitched ever so slightly—his expression betraying the deep astonishment in his heart.
No wonder this was a talent born from the most unique subspecies of the moonfolk—
the Starshatter Wasp.
Whether in terms of its form or its two accompanying abilities, the talent’s design was undoubtedly... strange.
Take the first ability, Touch of Annihilation, for instance. At first glance, the description seemed complex and even a little abstract. But if one broke it down carefully, its true effect could actually be summarized in a single sentence:
As a peak Tier-1 Esper, Link could now take three full-force strikes from a peak Tier-4 Esper—head-on!
Not only that, but the immense energy contained within those attacks would be broken down and absorbed, directly converted into his own Power Values.
To negate powerful enemy attacks while also benefiting from them?
Now that’s what you call killing two birds with one stone.
Link couldn’t help but entertain the idea—Would he even need to worry about improving his Power Values anymore?
If he ever felt his stats falling behind, he could just go provoke a few Esper three tiers above him, let them hit him three times with everything they had, and then walk away with a massive boost in Power Values. Not a bad deal.
