YM778.TV Chapter 107: Golden Lord Equipment, Lao Tie Makes Up for the Shortcomings in Attack
Now, Lao Tie’s task had one more addition, to restrict the human-spider warrior’s movements as much as possible, and ideally, to pin the creature down in one spot.
Fortunately, with Lao Tie’s superior strength, once his large iron hand clamped down on the opponent, he could essentially confine the human-spider warrior to a very small area.
As time passed, the human-spider warrior became increasingly irritable and urgent, its shrieking for nearby bosses becoming more frequent and frantic.
It was all to no avail, unfortunately. The battlefield where Lao Tie and the human-spider warrior exchanged blows was surrounded by the Skeleton Cannon Fodder Group of shield warriors, and no matter how many bosses attempted to breach the fray to provide support, they couldn’t break through the defensive line.
Finally, amidst the bitter roars of grief and rage from the human-spider warrior, this epic boss, which shouldn’t have appeared in the martial trial instance, died ingloriously before Lao Tie’s domineering iron fists, its spirit full of reluctance.
The instant the human-spider warrior fell, Zi Liyuan rushed over frantically and unceremoniously scooped up all the loot and the body of the human-spider warrior into his Spatial Backpack.
There was no protective mechanism for dropped items; they weren’t only claimable by the slayer. Otherwise, Zi Liyuan wouldn’t have had his spoils stolen by Jiang Tianyou and his group before.
Having learned from the previous experience, Zi Liyuan deployed his Spirit and Eyes of Death to tightly monitor all movements within three hundred meters when the human-spider warrior’s health was nearing its end.
This was an Epic Boss, after all. One couldn’t be too careful.
After thoroughly looting the boss’s spoils, Zi Liyuan eagerly opened his Spatial Backpack to inspect his haul.
Three dense golden glows flickered within the Spatial Backpack, making Zi Liyuan’s heart bloom with joy.
Spider Stingers (Gold): Upon wearing, the wearer’s back is affixed with eight spider stingers, each causing 50% of the wearer’s attack damage, each stinger occupies 40 points of Spirit when controlled, with a maximum of eight stingers. (Special module equipment, occupies one accessory slot)
Spider Sickle Arm Blade – Left (Gold): Physical Damage +620, Physique +100, Spirit +90, Spiritual Power +80, Skill: “Armor-Splitting Slash”; Equipment Requirement: Melee Level 40 professions (Blood Spider Blade Set 1/2)
Spider Sickle Arm Blade – Right (Gold): Physical Damage +680, Physique +110, Spirit +85, Spiritual Power +75, Skill: “Two-Part Slash”; Equipment Requirement: Melee Level 40 professions (Blood Spider Blade Set 1/2)
Blood Spider Blade Set Effect: Physical Damage +200, Physique +30, Spirit +20, Spiritual Power +10, and gains the active skill “Frenzied Slicing.”
Armor-Splitting Slash (Gold): A slash that deals 300% Physical Damage and shatters 30% of the target’s Physical Defense for 60 seconds, cooldown time 60 seconds.
Two-Part Slash (Gold): A slash that deals 500% Physical Damage with a very small chance to sever the target’s body, inflicting crippling effects, cooldown time 60 seconds.
“Frenzied Slicing” (Gold): Frantically slices at the target for 3 seconds, eight slashes per second, each inflicting 200% Physical Damage and causing the target to bleed, losing 10% of the damage caused per second for 30 seconds, cooldown time 5 minutes.
“Darn it!”
Seeing the three pieces of gold-rated equipment, Zi Liyuan couldn’t help but curse with fervor.
It wasn’t that he was uncultured; it was that pairing the three items together was terrifying, especially the first one, the “Spider Stingers.”
Once deployed, as long as one had enough Spiritual Energy to control the eight stingers, it was like having eight weapons, each inflicting half the damage of the owner’s attack.
Just think about the image of the human-spider warrior relentlessly puncturing Lao Tie’s back with eight limb joints—outrageous!
As for the other two pieces of the set’s arm blades, their attributes are incredibly strong, not to mention the built-in skills and set abilities, they are truly massive killers!
Lao Tie has always lacked means of attack, usually relying on a pair of iron palms and a heavy strike skill to get by, with no regular burst damage skills.
If he were to equip these three golden weapons, not to mention the soaring attributes, his attack power would likely break through several times over!
“Damn!”
Without hesitation, he immediately opened Lao Tie’s attribute panel, went to the equipment slot, and unhesitatingly removed the weapons from the Chieftain set.
So what if it’s a Level 20 Chieftain set? It’s simply not suitable for the now Level 45 Lao Tie, outdated equipment has to go!
He equipped the Blood Spider Battle Blades set of arm blades and also took off an accessory to equip the Octopus Spider Stinger (Golden).
It was after equipping these three golden Lord grade weapons that Lao Tie’s originally unchanging steel body gleamed with a layer of golden light.
On each of his previously massive fists, a metallic spike fiercely protruded from the left and right, like Wolverine extending his adamantium claws from his knuckles.
And that wasn’t all, amidst a golden radiance, Lao Tie’s back sprouted a series of adamantium spikes, eight fearsome, golden-lit spikes that made one’s scalp tingle.
At the same time, Zi Liyuan noticed that Lao Tie’s attributes had also started to increase, and the increase was terrifying!
Just the two arm blades, along with the set effects, added a total of 1500 Physical Damage, 240 Physique, 195 Spirit, and 165 points of Spiritual Power, but the combined attributes that Lao Tie gained were even more frightening!
[Lao Tie, Level 45, Mixed Damage 4870, Physical Defense 3450, Magic Defense 3450, Life 610K]
[Lao Tie, Level 45, Mixed Damage 7330, Physical Defense 4410, Magic Defense 4230, LifeyooK]
The three golden pieces of equipment increased Lao Tie’s attributes by nearly a third, bringing three high-damage regular skills and the ability for explosive damage with normal attacks.
“Thank the Lucky Goddess wife for her blessing! My boy has nothing to repay with but to offer himself once he reaches the Sea of Realms!”
This upgrade was like swapping a wooden gun for a cannon for Lao Tie, filling in the gaps of his lacking offense. Aside from still not having enough health, he had become a very qualified super tanky war machine!
After checking out the three pieces of golden quality equipment, Zi Liyuan turned his gaze to the remaining items.
The Spider Warrior burst out with over a hundred items, with three golden quality ones, as well as twelve silver quality items, among them six pieces of equipment and six props.
The six pieces of equipment were also a matching set of silver hero-grade gear called the Weaver’s Spell Gear, a magic-centric set with a huge overall attribute increase, definitely a few notches above the Priest set Zi Liyuan was currently using.
Weaver’s Spell Gear total attribute boost: Physical Damage +160, Magic Damage +320, Physique +380, Spirit +620, Spiritual Power +500, Movement Speed +120%, Waist Storage Slot +16, Set Skill “Weaving Spell,” Equipment Requirement: Magic profession Level 40.
Weaving Spell (Silver): Can duplicate an attack spell from one’s own skill slot into the set, store it, and instantaneously activate the spell. The duplicated spell has the same properties as the original, with a cooldown of 24 hours to switch the duplicated spell.
Without a second thought, Zi Liyuan stripped off the Priest set and then put on the full Weaver’s Spell Gear.
After all, apart from the set’s effect skill “Spiritual Energy Recovery,” which he was reluctant to part with, the attributes boosted by the Priest set were no longer keeping up with his needs.
