[Strength: 910 | Agility: 575 | Intelligence: 612 | Constitution: 418 | Stamina: 438]

[Weight: 2,641/5,460]
That was the final status of Broken, fully equipped with the Woodland Ranger set and wielding the Golden Bow of Artemis.
He gripped the bow tightly as Polly soared through the sky. With [Eagle Eye of Eternity (Passive Skill)], his vision sharpened, allowing him to zoom in on any part of the battlefield below. It was like he could focus on every detail, no matter how distant.
There, in the chaos, he spotted his target. Ivana was locked in a fierce struggle against a creature nearly four times her size, its hulking form towering over her. She was clearly in trouble, while the others seemed preoccupied with threats around them.
The moment the monster grabbed Ivana and slammed her repeatedly into the ground, rage ignited in his chest.
"Don't you dare touch her, you bastard!" he growled through gritted teeth.
[Precision Aim (Passive Skill)]
The skill from the Woodland Ranger Gloves increased his bow damage by 15% and reduced the time needed to draw and release arrows by 10%.
[Sniper's Focus (Active Skill) Lv. 4]
Without wasting a second, Broken began charging his arrow-an Epic-grade Iron Piercer Arrow.
His stock of Epic-grade arrows was running dangerously low, and he'd need to craft more soon.
Gritting his teeth, he focused on the 2-second charge, which felt agonizingly slow. He had already calculated the distance perfectly, ensuring that this long-range shot would trigger the 20% bonus damage for his next skill.
The arrow flew from the bow, cutting through the air with precision. Thanks to his enhanced vision, he tracked its path clearly as it hurtled toward the gorilla-like monster. The impact was powerful, hitting its mark and forcing the creature to release Ivana.
Broken noticed Fokil was also there, just within range.
Now was the moment! He swiftly pulled out his Wavebreaker Spear and, in a move both absurd and extraordinary, placed the spear on his bow, positioning it as an arrow!
Damn, this was one of the wildest things he had ever done, and he knew it was going to be incredible.
[Apex of Arsenal (Passive Skill)]
[Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 4]
The stats from the Wavebreaker Spear applied to him directly. Not only that, but [Oceanic Blessing (Passive Skill)] also kicked in, surrounding him in a blue aura.
This aura made his attacks ignore 50% of the enemy's defense and reduced all incoming damage by 20%. On top of that, there was a small chance the ocean itself would summon a spear to strike, dealing an extra 200% damage. Each attack would also slow the target's attack speed by 20% for 0.5 seconds.
His updated stats flashed before his eyes.
[Strength: 1,061 | Agility: 575 | Intelligence: 612 | Constitution: 644 | Stamina: 589]
[Weight: 4,221/6,366]
The charging time for the Explosive Arrow skill, originally set at 5 seconds, had now been significantly reduced thanks to Precision Aim-leaving only 4.5 seconds remaining.
And then, something extraordinary happened. Out of nowhere, the sky above him seemed to split apart, and through the parting clouds, the colossal tip of the Wavebreaker Spear appeared, gleaming in its massive, colossal form!
The spear materialized just as the charge time for Explosive Arrow started.
[Ocean's Wrath (Active Skill) activated.]
[800 Mana used.]
[Sea of Storms (Active Skill) activated.]
[The Ring of Unlimited Skillz passive effect triggered: Sea of Storms will not consume any mana.]
[Boar's Flood (Active Skill) activated.]
[600 Mana used.]
Amid all this power surging through him, a sudden question popped into his mind: What would happen to the spear after he released the shot? He hadn't even considered that
possibility.
Do I need to retrieve it manually? That would be such a hassle.
But his focus remained sharp-he had a clear target and knew exactly who he wanted to take
down first.
[Projectile's Kiss (Active Skill) activated.]
[The Ring of Unlimited Skillz passive effect triggered: Projectile's Kiss will not consume any mana.]
"This is the most precious skill-it doubles my projectile damage. And thanks to the ring's passive skill trigger, I don't even have to worry about the mana cost!"
Everything was falling into place for what would surely be the most devastating strike he'd ever unleashed.
Dozens of magic circles materialized above him. This time, the tips of water spears began to emerge from each one-manifestations of the Sea of Storms skill.
[Maylock: "Broken, the Gorilla Guardian's regeneration is awful-aim for the head. That's its weak spot. Even if you don't kill it, you'll cripple its combat potential."]
When the charge time finished, he narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth in concentration. With a sudden release, he let the Wavebreaker Spear fly, unleashing it with a burst of raw force. The spear tore through the air like a ravenous beast.
From above, the colossal spear-its massive copy formed from the clouds-descended, falling swiftly toward the battlefield. Both the original spear and its enormous duplicate shot forward with such velocity that the recoil jolted Broken, causing Polly to momentarily stagger mid-flight.
Simultaneously, the dozens of water spears streaked downward, cutting through the sky like relentless missiles, their sharp points gleaming with deadly intent. But that was only the
beginning.
A titanic surge of water followed, as if the very ocean had been unleashed from the heavens. Massive waves cascaded through the air, crashing downward as if the sky itself had split open, spilling the sea onto the battlefield. The colossal spear hurtled down amidst this watery deluge, surrounded by torrents of water raining down alongside it.
Suddenly, another explosion echoed through the air. From within the downpour, a monstrous water boar erupted, seemingly running through the sky itself. The creature charged at blinding speed, racing toward the ground with ferocious power, following the spears into battle. The sky was alive with chaos, the sheer magnitude of Broken's assault overwhelming everything in its path.
Everyone who looked up from the battlefield could only stand in awe, mesmerized by the sheer display of power. It was beyond extraordinary-it was divine.
"Oh the heck, what is that?!"
"Could this be... a sign of divine intervention?" someone whispered.
"Broken! He's like a god! He's absolutely incredible!"
"God Broken! He is God Broken!"
"God Broken has come to save us all!"
The colossal spear cast a massive shadow across the battlefield, as if an eclipse was
approaching. All eyes were fixed on the enormous object and the tidal wave of water magic crashing down with it. Soldiers, monsters, even spectators online-all were left speechless, jaws hanging open as they watched the impossible unfold before them.
"I hate to admit it, but this is absolutely incredible."
"I detest him, but... this is too cool to ignore!"
"Wow, the visual effects of his skill are breathtaking! I can't even begin to imagine how much
damage that's going to cause!"
Max patted Tora's shoulder repeatedly, trying to snap him out of his shock. "Tora, what are
we even looking at?"
"I don't know, Max," Tora replied, still awestruck. "But one thing's for sure... this is
beautiful!"
The Gorilla Guardian, frozen in place, seemed powerless as the massive spear crashed into him. The resulting explosion was deafening, sending gravel, dust, and debris flying into the air. The shockwave rippled outward, shaking the earth and creating tremors that could be felt
across the battlefield.
And that was only the beginning. The dozens of water spears followed in rapid succession, piercing the creature from every angle. The water boar, charging with unstoppable force, slammed into the monster like a tidal wave. Then came the ocean itself-a massive surge of water pouring from the sky, flooding the battlefield.
The combined force of the explosion and the crashing water created a massive, rolling wave that swallowed everything in its path. It was as if the battlefield had been submerged in the
fury of a storm.
Now, the question remained-was it enough to defeat the Gorilla Guardian?

(Author's Note:)
Broken's got a fan club calling him "God Broken." I mean, can you blame them? Dude's over
here turning the battlefield into an aquatic apocalypse.
It's like the game developers went: "How much OP is too much OP?" and Yes said, "Broken!"
