Chapter 39: Soul Turmoil Armor (2/2)
A ball of green light wrapped around the Weeping Fire Blade. Slayer Slash, my strongest skill. Let's use the Pardon buff to kill this boss!
I leapt high, my sharp sword drawing a perfect arc in the air. The powerful blow struck the stone giant's shoulder. Stone flew, and I split the stone giant with one blow!
1992!
A giant damage number flew up. Almost everyone present was stunned. At the present time, people who could create 300 damage were first-cla.s.s experts. But I almost managed to take 2000 HP with one blow. This was so astounding!
This was really simple. My Pardon had reached Rank 2 and could ignore 55% of the target's Defense, as well as increase my Attack by 40%. Also, the huge damage and last sliver of the boss's HP caused it to be a fatal blow. It was only natural that I dealt 2000 damage!
Cras.h.!.+
The stone giant was immediately killed, and dropped several pieces of equipment. There were also stones that flew through the air! This was a D Rank boss. The things it dropped would not be mundane!
The rules of Heavenblessed were very cruel. It did not care who the boss belonged to. Whoever gave the last blow would get the boss's experience. Also, the dropped equipment was not bound and anyone could take it. This meant that one had to be extremely careful and strategic when fighting bosses. Otherwise, they could lose everything.
Lin Yixin and I were almost below the boss's corpse at the same time. The two of us leapt in unison and grabbed. I managed to get two items. Lin Yixin also grabbed two rewards. Also, golden light came from both of us. We had both leveled up!
Swoos.h.!.+
I immediately disappeared, turning into bolts of golden light and entering the ground. This was my unique fleeing skill!
Lin Yixin gritted her teeth. ”You could take me along. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, running away so quickly...”
As she spoke, Lin Yixin put the loot into her bag. She pushed away three Mad Dragon guild players with a sweep of her sword. Her white cape fluttered in the air as she fled. Nice, her escape skill isn't any inferior to mine!
Seeing Lin Yixin flee into the forest with a sliver of HP left, I sighed in relief. I slowly moved toward the bushes in my escape state. I flew back to the surface. Coincidentally, Mad Dragon's archer was searching the area.
The Weeping Fire Blade cut through the air. The archer fell to the ground in response. The Slayer Slash was too strong.
I also fled. When I sprinted out of the mouth of the valley, I saw Lin Yixin sitting on a green boulder. She looked angrily at me. ”Hey, aren't you too dishonorable? Leaving me, a weak girl, behind and fleeing on your own?”
”A weak girl? You?”
I glanced at her. Lin Yixin leaned against the boulder with one hand on her sword. She was panting, her chest moving up and down, her white and long legs swaying as they hung from the boulder. In this moment, she was so beautiful.
My heart jerked. I said, ”You've killed and stolen. Don't even call yourself weak, alright?”
”Hmph!” Lin Yixin disagreed but didn't pursue the matter, asking me instead, ”Hey, what did you get just now?”
”I haven't looked yet...”
”Quick, look!”
”Okay.”
I opened my bag. Two items had appeared in my inventory. One was a black armor, the other, a darkly-s.h.i.+ning helmet. Not bad, both were armor pieces!
I pointed. The stats of the chest armor flew up in front of my face. I could see it, and so could Lin Yixin—
Soul Turmoil Armor (Dark Steel-grade)
Defense: 48
Stamina: +11
Pa.s.sive: Increases physical attack power by 2%
Level Requirement: 32
……
d.a.m.n! Such a powerful armor!
My eyes went wide, and I couldn't close my mouth. This was Dark Steel-grade armor. The trip had not been in vain. Its Defense was super powerful, 48 points. The Iron-grade armor I currently wore had only 9 Defense. Compared to this armor, the difference was like heaven and earth. Also, it had a 11 Stamina bonus, which would give me 110 HP. There was also a 2% physical attack bonus. It could be said that this item was a sacred treasure of any warrior-type player!
Lin Yixin's mouth was open wide as she expressed her amazement, ”Not bad...”
I quickly put on the Soul Turmoil Armor. I had reached Level 32 after killing the boss and could use it!
Instantly, all my individual stats tangibly rose. My Max HP reached a terrifying 750 points. My Defense, a powerful 100 points. Archers under Level 30 most likely could not break through my defense.
I happily took out the other piece of equipment. It was a darkly-s.h.i.+ning helmet shaped like a murderous beast—
Beast-faced Turmoil Helmet (Steel-grade)
Defense: 28
Strength: +7
Level Requirement: 30
……
Tsk tsk, Steel-grade, also very good. Defense of 28, bonus of 8 Strength. While it was much worse than Dark Steel-grade Soul Turmoil Armor, it was also very good. After all, my head slot was still empty! It was rare to have a helmet so early into the game. Equipping it on my naked head was practically adding 28 Defense!
I quickly put on the Beast-faced Turmoil Helmet. Immediately, a dark helmet appeared on my head, and I gave off a murderous air. This helmet also covered my face. As a skeleton, I cared about my appearance. I was very comforted by this item. I finally did not have to look at people with my black eye sockets.
I looked at my stats. Defense 128, Attack 258, so powerful!
I raised my eyebrows and looked at the girl on the stone, asking with a smile, ”Beauty Lin, what about you? What about your equipment...”
Lin Yixin twisted her lips. ”Why would you mention this...”
”What'd you get?” I pressed.
Lin Yixin looked at me grievously and said, ”A Level 32 Steel-grade wristguard, a Level 28 Iron-grade staff...”
”Haha...”
”You are courting death! You want a beating?”
Lin Yixin leapt over, holding her sword. I immediately turned and fled. The two of us moved through the forest, and searched to see if there was anything left.
On the other side of the mountain valley, Roaming Dragon held his spear, filled with anger. ”d.a.m.n you Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand... d.a.m.n you Wind Fantasy, I'm not done with you!”
