Chapter 297: Obsidian Dragonscale Armor
Translator: alyschu
I opened my bag. Wind Fury had dropped a total of five items: a resplendent dagger, a cape with metal linings and snowflakes floating around it, a black metal armor, a fiery red cloth armor helmet, a black, round egg, but I had no idea what it was. On top of that, it dropped two skill books and dozens of Purple Crystals. This Epic Rank boss dropped us a ton of items!
Lin Yixin, He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue, Shadow Chanel, Luo River God of the Capital approached me from behind. Our party was overflowing with yin energy because all the guys such as Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, Purple Marquis and so on were dead. I was literally the last male in the party.
"What did the boss drop?"
Lin Yixin could barely suppress her excitement. "An Epic Rank boss had to drop a Purple Goldâgrade equipment, right? It had to!"
I nodded. "Letâs hope so!"
I took a moment to check the party list before saying, "So, we only have 3 melee fighters, 1 archer, 3 priests, and 2 mages left in the party?"
"Thatâs right! Besides the three of us, everyone else is a cloth-armor class," Lin Yixin said with a wink, although she really didnât need to. The boss had dropped two metal armors, and they were definitely going to me, Lin Yixin or He Yi. Those who werenât in the party didnât fall under our consideration, of course. It was one thing to share the loot of an elite mob and another to share the super loot of a Level 100 Epic Rank boss. At that point it was no longer generosity, but sheer idiocy!
......
We formed a circle as I took out the first item. It was a resplendent straight dagger surrounded by cold energy and killing intent. I had no doubt that it was a high-grade weapon, and as expected, the girlsâ jaws hit the floor when I brought up its stats screenâ
Heavenstealer (Purple Gold, Outstandingâ )
Attack: 240~455
Strength: +60
Agility: +55
Passive: Increases userâs attack power by 11%
Passive: Ignores 30% of targetâs Defense
Outstanding Property: 25% chance to activate "Heavenstealer" and steal a buff from the target
Level: 90
......
"Fuck! An Outstanding Purple Goldâgrade weapon?!" I exclaimed in shock as my eyes turned as wide as saucers. You call this a dagger? This shit was as powerful as my 3-star Outstanding Purgatory Sword, and it ignored 30% of the targetâs Defense! You could literally use it as a sword and it wouldnât make a difference!
I checked the party list again. Everyone else besides Lin Yixin, He Yi and I were cloth-armor or leather-armor classes, meaning that this dagger was useless to them.
I shot Lin Yixin a sideways glance and noticed that Lin Yixin was beaming at me. At the same time, she put her left hand on my shoulder and her right hand on her sword. Was this the Fruit Knife Goddessâs so-called attempt at seduction?
As a professional player who was perfectly calm, confident and modest at all times, I would never fall for such a lowly tactic. But it was a fact that Lin Yixin was the only player out of all of us who could use a dagger properly, and she was called âFruit Knife Goddessâ, for godâs sake. She was the only one who could truly make the Heavenstealer shine.
Thus, I shot the crowd a sweeping glance before saying, "This Heavenstealer is pretty good, and Beauty Wind Fantasy is the only one out of us who uses a dagger. I donât think we need to roll for this. Do you?"
Everyone except Luo River God of the Capital nodded immediately. They were either Ancient Sword Dreaming Sword guild members or Snowy Cathaya guild members after all. Completely outnumbered, the mage had no choice but to nod. "Sure, no problem..."
Lin Yixin immediately grabbed the Heavenstealer and played with it like she had found a new toy. "You have no idea how much Attack this dagger gives me, Lu Chen. Hehe, I can feel myself growing stronger..."
I shot her a look. "It couldnât possibly give you more Attack than the Moonlight Sword, right? Itâs only 11% after all!"
"Thatâs where youâre wrong!" Lin Yixin giggled. "A few days ago, I did a quest called âEquipment Sharingâ. Thanks to that, I can now equip a sword and a dagger at the same time. This means that Iâm getting bonuses from both the weapons!"
"WTF!"
I was stunned. If what she said was true, then she was close to being completely broken. The dagger increased her attack power by 11% and her Strength by 60, the ultimate stat all melee warriors dreamed of getting!
The next equipment I pulled out was the cape with snowflakes on it. Its stats screen appeared in the airâ
Snow Domain Cloak (Dark Goldâgrade)
Defense: 225
Magic Resist: 180
Stamina: +52
Agility: +45
Passive: Increases userâs Defense by 4%
Passive: Increases userâs Magic Resist by 12%
Level Requirement: 90
......
Mn, not bad at all. Although it didnât give any Strength, its passives increased oneâs Defense by 4% and Magic Resist by 12%. It was an amazing boost to any fighterâs survivability!
I looked at my Skydusk Cloak and noted that it was in no way inferior to this Snow Domain Cloak, so I said, "My cloak is better, so, you and Yiyi should roll for this, Eve!"
"Mn!"
The two girls nodded and rolled the dice. A few seconds later, Lin Yixin was the proud owner of a new Dark Goldâgrade cloak. She was barely holding in her bursting joy because she didnât want to make He Yi angry.
I moved on to the third item. This one was a black metal armor with craggy edges at the front; probably the very same chest armor Wind Fury was wearing. I loved deadly-looking designs like these. I waved a hand across the equipment, and the girlsâ jaws hit the floor again.
Obsidian Dragonscale Armor (Purple Goldâgrade, Outstandingâ â )
Defense: 325
Magic Resist: 280
Strength: +65
Stamina: +62
Tactics: +17
Passive: Increases userâs Defense by 14%
Passive: Increases userâs resistance to ice-based magic by 27%
Outstanding Property: Absorbs 10% damage taken as health
Gender Requirement: Male
Level Requirement: 90
......
My heart stopped beating for a second. A super armor! A super armor is here!
Even if I were to pretend that the Obsidian Dragonscale Armorâs Outstanding Property was the only thing going for it, being able to absorb 10% damage taken as health was still amazing as hell. Moreover, it gave me a total of 127 stats, 17% Defense and 27% resistance to ice magic! All these stat boosts and passives were pretty godlike already, but the item also came with 17 Tactics!
But what really made me snicker on the inside was that the equipment had a gender requirement. Let me see... oh well, seems like Iâm the only male in this party, muahahaha!
I did everything in my power to hold in my laughter. Remember, Lu Chen, a professional player is calm at all times!
Standing side by side, Lin Yixin and He Yi stared at me for a moment before saying in perfect unison, "Just laugh if you want to. Whatâs the point of holding it in and giving yourself internal injuries?"
"Cough cough cough..."
I sucked in a deep breath before looking at everyone. "So, can I take this? We donât need to roll for this, right?"
Luo River God of the Capital nodded. "Of course. You are the one who tanked and dealt the most damage to the boss, and logically the best reward should go to the best player of the fight. Hehe, the system is fair this time!"
"Yeah!"
The level requirement for the Obsidian Dragonscale Armor was Level 90, and I wouldnât be able to equip it for now. It wasnât a problem though. When the quest rewards were distributed, I should hit Level 90 without any problems!
It was time to check the fourth item. This one was a fiery red cloth-armor helmetâ
Blazing Crown (Dark Goldâgrade)
Defense: 128
Magic Resist: 95
Intelligence: +52
Stamina: +48
Passive: Increases userâs Magic Attack by 7%
Level Requirement: 90
......
It was an amazing cloth-armor equipment. Most helmets didnât give offensive stats, and 7% was over the expected average. Whoever got this would definitely be one happy mage.
So I said, "This is a mage equipment, so we can exclude the priests. Would the two of you like to roll for this?"
Luo River God of the Capital and Shadow Chanel nodded. One moment later, Luo River God of the Capital claimed her prize, leaving Lin Yixin to console a sad, sad Shadow Chanel.
The fifth item wasnât really an equipment drop, but a black, round egg. No one was sure what it was, but our astonishment was no less greater than before when I brought up its tooltipâ
Snow Domain Windchaser (Purple Gold Rank Mount, Pet Egg): A kind of warhorse that is frequently sighted at Snow Domain, it possesses incredible drought resistance and tenacity. As it usually avoids human settlements, not many people have seen it on the continent. It increases the riderâs attack power. Level Requirement: 100. Class Requirement: Wanderer, Magic Knight.
......
"WTF, a Purple Gold Rank mount?" I murmured in a daze.
Lin Yixin and He Yi were beaming like the sun. Out of everyone who was present, they were the only two players who were qualified to roll for the Snow Domain Windchaser. Its name alone identified it as an amazing mount. I could already imagine how cool someone would look to ride it.
I groaned in my head. Lin Yixin was a Wanderer, and He Yi was a Magic Knight. It so happened that both these classes were granted the ability to equip mounts faster than any other classes. As for me? I was just a lowly foot soldier. When will I be able to equip a mount of my own, I wonder?
"Well, letâs roll for it. Whoever rolls the highest score gets the pet egg!"
"Mn!"
The girls nodded and rolled the dice. A second later, He Yi walked away with a silly grin on her face. As it turned out, the system was fair. Lin Yixin had already obtained the Heavenstealer and the Snow Domain Cloak, so this Snow Domain Windchaser went to He Yi instead.
......
Now that the five items were all distributed, it was time to look at the skill books! Thatâs right, there were two of them!
Heavens above, please give me a powerful skill!
Apparently the heavens did hear my plea, because the purple skill book I unveiled first was so good I could faintâ
War Crush: Attack the ground with your weapon and cause a small earthquake and lightning burst. Damages all enemies within a 5-yard radius three times. Cooldown: 7 seconds. Level Requirement: 90. Class Requirement: Warrior.
......
Holy shit! Itâs Wind Furyâs signature move, War Crush!
Everyone had witnessed the powerful skill in action just a moment ago. The two girls were speechless for a time.
Lin Yixin: "Sister He Yi, does Wanderer count as Warrior?"
He Yi shook her head. "Nope. Does Magic Knight count as Warrior?"
Lin Yixin also shook her head.
They looked at me in unison, and I grinned back like an idiot.
