Chapter 432 - The Generation of Battle Mounts (2/2)
After storing the Demonic Blood from the Doombringer, Jiang Fei walked over to the Master-level boss.
"Come on! Even the small monsters dropped amazing items. Let's see what you've got!" Jiang Fei became very excited as the dropped items from the three small monsters earlier had elevated his expectations for what was about to come next.
"Shuffle!" A bright red light flashed by.
"Indeed! Another Ancient grade item!" Jiang Fei was delighted.
Although an Ancient grade item did not differ much from a Legendary grade item in terms of its Overall Attributes, it must have an outstanding quality which separates itself from the rest. The practicality of an Ancient grade item would greatly exceed that of a Legendary grade item despite the difference in grade.
Jiang Fei's Juvenile Skygliding Dragon was a prime example for a mount. The mount was stronger than normal mounts by at least a few hundred times. The only drawback was that Jiang Fei could never change into another mount for the rest of his life. However, although the drawback lowered the grade of the item, it did not impact the effects of the item itself.
The same could be said for the Crimson Reaper. Its power was significantly stronger than Jiang Fei's Legendary grade Psionic Cape. However, as equipping the cape would cause one to be viewed as an enemy by the Light Faction, its item grade became lowered. Despite this, the boost in power to the player who equipped it was still very significant.
Now, even Jiang Fei who was used to seeing good items could not help but drop his jaws when he saw the Ancient grade item.
Armor of Destruction (Mount Armor, Ancient)
Physical Defense +10,000
Magic Defense +10,000
Equipped: Increases 300 points of Physical Defense and Magic Defense for every increased level.
Equipped: Lowers the damage received by the mount by 50%.
Equipped: Increases the skill effects of the mount by 100%.
Equipped: Lowers the mount's Movement Speed by 10%.
Remark: A mount which equips the Armor of Destruction has an increased revival time by 100%.
"It is actually a mount armor!" Jiang Fei exclaimed giddily. Although Jiang Fei had always been known as a Dragon Knight, he would keep the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon away when he was truly engaged in a battle. This was because the mount had an initial Defense of 0. Although it had a lot of Health Points, it was still very vulnerable. Moreover, Jiang Fei usually fought against a large number of opponents which increased the mount's likelihood of being killed instantly by multiple attacks.
Now that Jiang Fei acquired the mount armor, the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon would have more than twice the amount of Defense Jiang Fei had once he equipped it with the armor. Moreover, it would even have a 50% Damage Reduction. Most players' attacks could barely even harm it. The only monster in the wild that could break through the mount armor would have to at least be a Level 50 Master!
On top of that, Jiang Fei's Lifesteal effect applied to allies in his group. This meant that the mount could also be healed by the Lifesteal effect. Therefore, as long as Jiang Fei was in a map where the mount could be summoned, his capabilities would be boosted by at least ten times.
Jiang Fei could finally use the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon as a battle mount, since he no longer needed to dismount every time he entered a battle. His dream of becoming a Dragon Knight could finally be realized on the battlefield.
Although the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon would need four hours to revive after it died with the Armor of Destruction equipped, Jiang Fei was perfectly fine with the drawback. This was because Jiang Fei would not act foolishly to engage in a losing battle. Unless that happened, there were no opponents that could break through the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon's Armor of Destruction.
Hence, Jiang Fei was extremely excited now. If not for the fact that he was still in a dungeon which did not allow players to summon their mounts, Jiang Fei would have immediately equipped the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon with the Armor of Destruction.
"Eh? There's something else!" Although Jiang Fei had taken away the highest-level Ancient grade item, the monster's corpse was still glowing brightly.
