Kacha!
The Purgatory Sword cut across the head of a Devil Armor Insect. Beside me, Xinran was stunned. My arm suddenly felt cold, and my Outstanding stat activated!
Whoosh!
Blood-colored sword energy exploded, ignoring the rules of skill cooldowns, and hit the Demon Armor Insect again!
“3764！”
Accompanied by hissing screams, the Demon Armor Insect died. It dropped a 71 Quality Big Magic Stone. I didn't take it. It wasn't worth much anyways.
I looked at the time. More than an hour had passed. Countless Demon Armor Insects had died under the Purgatory Sword.
Continuing forward, the gloomy Devil Sealing Tower was littered with secret doors. The secret doors were pasted with simple sealing runes. Under the blowing of the night wind, the runes swayed slightly, appearing tranquil and eerie.
Whoosh whoosh...
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front. Looking carefully, he discovered that it was a shadow, like a ghost, letting out a low howl, its eyes flashing with a blood-red light. Book fans also liked to read: "Ghost."
I was shocked. This was the second monster in the Devil Sealing Tower, right?
[Vengeful Soul] (Elite Monster) Level: 75 Magic Attack: 620-700 Defense: 500 HP: 12000 Skills: [Ghost Fire Ball], [Terror Wail] Properties: Immune to 25% of all damage. Introduction: The vengeful souls of elite human warriors. These once brave knights died here. When their honor was not recognized by the king, these vengeful souls could only howl in pain. In the end, they became monsters and became the guardians of the first floor of the Devil Sealing Tower...
Magic-type monsters had 700 Magic Attack. This was definitely not low, especially for a heavy armor class like me. At the current stage of the game, monsters of the same level would have a hard time breaking through my physical Defense, but magic-type monsters of the same level could easily tear through my Defense with magic. This was because magic Attack had an additional 100% damage bonus against heavy armor. It was almost equal to double the damage!
On the battlefield, Warrior players were the main force that charged and broke through enemy lines. They were brave and invincible, and their natural enemies were Magicians. Under the attacks of Advanced Magicians, Warriors had to go through the baptism of ice and fire magic. Only those who survived could become legendary heroes. Otherwise, they would just be a pile of bones!
I looked left and right. There was only one vengeful soul to kill!
Lock on, activate Charge!
"Whoosh!"
I instantly appeared in front of the vengeful spirit and swung the Purgatory Sword, using Pardon + Desperate Gambit as the vanguard!
“MISS！”
“5728！”
Decent damage. Vengeful Spirits were magic-type monsters with cloth armor, so they had low Health Points and Defense. Killing them was as easy as chopping vegetables!
However, I still felt that my attack power was on the low side. After thinking about it carefully, I understood!
I threw my head back and roared, activating Wild Roar. The icon of Wild Roar appeared in my buff window. No wonder Desperate Gambit only dealt 5000 + HP after Pardon. It turned out that the 15% buff skill's duration had run out.
After Wild Roar, I followed it up with another slash. As expected, a normal attack took away nearly 3000 HP from the Vengeful Spirit.
More than half of my body was Dark Gold – grade, and my Attack was extraordinary when paired with an Outstanding weapon. If I could kill a Level 75 elite mob like the Vengeful Soul, then there was no need to even mention mages. Even a peak mage like Dominating Mage God would probably be one-shot by my Purgatory Sword after the first hit!
This was an advantage for me. Currently, mages didn't have lifesaving skills like Blink or Freeze, so warriors had a certain advantage against mages. Of course, 99.99% of melee players didn't have Charge, so it was just as difficult against mages. A mage with good mechanics wouldn't give you a chance to get close. A series of ice spells would slow you down and freeze you to death!
At this time, the little skeleton rushed forward and stabbed the vengeful spirit. The blood-red spear glowed with a faint light as it pierced through the vengeful spirit's body, ending the battle!
"My king, this subordinate is dead. Honor is my life!"
The vengeful spirit roared and slowly fell to the ground. The ghostly shadow around its body gradually faded. It was the body of a human knight, but it was badly decayed. Strictly speaking, it was the body of an undead knight.
I thought back to the monster's words. Honor is my life. I suddenly thought of myself. In this era, gold was my life!
In this fickle era, I had to maintain my original heart. Maybe what I needed to do was to protect everything around me. Then, I would push Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to the throne and launch a war of vengeance against Candle Dragon!
I smiled faintly. In the China server, there were many people who vowed to destroy Candle Dragon. However, there shouldn't be anyone more confident than me, right?
Forget it. I'll let Candlelight Shadow have fun in Dawn City for a few months. When I open a super city in the future, I'll wait for the show!
… …
I killed the vengeful spirits along the way. Working together with the little skeleton and the Dark Wasp, we basically didn't give the vengeful spirits too many chances to counterattack. Of course, the vengeful spirits' magic attack was pretty strong. A single Ghost Fireball could deal around 500 damage to me. Fortunately, the little skeleton's Soul Devouring Spear had the ability to interrupt magic. After a few attacks, it actually became smarter and only attacked when the vengeful spirits gathered a Ghost Fireball. This way, it was much easier and safer to kill them.
Half an hour later, I killed countless vengeful spirits and opened the minimap. I had appeared in the last section of the Devil Sealing Tower's first floor. If I continued forward, it would be the path to the second floor. At this time, the thing I had been looking forward to for a long time finally appeared in front of me. It was a boss monster!
It was a huge golden insect covered in a dense golden carapace. Its wings vibrated like steel, its body was bent, and there was a huge stinger on its tail. It looked very ferocious, just like the gold-plated and strengthened version of the Dark Wasp!
[Gold-armored Devil Insect] (Gold Rank Boss) Level: 75 Attack: 720 ~ 920 Defense: 700 HP: 150000 Skills: [Paralysis Attack], [Venom Attack] Special Characteristics: Immune to 100% magic damage Special Characteristics: Defense + 40% Introduction: A venomous insect that lives in dark corners. After millions of years of evolution, these insects possess extremely powerful attack and poison abilities. The strongest among them is this Gold-armored Devil Insect. In order to kill it, the court mages captured all the Devil Armor Insects and sealed them in the first floor of the Devil Sealing Tower. From then on, the Gold-armored Devil Insect became the leader of the first floor of the Devil Sealing Tower...
Looking at the boss's stats, I couldn't help but be shocked. Fortunately, I was a melee player. This boss was immune to magic!
100% magic immunity. If a mage was here, they would probably be crying. Moreover, the boss's Defense had increased by 40%, so it was around 980 Defense. To be honest, there were no more than 5 people in Floating Ice City who could break through this boss's Defense, and I was one of them!
Let's fight!
Looking at the little skeleton behind me, I said, "Xinran, I'll go first. You follow. Once the boss uses a paralysis attack, use the Soul Devouring Spear to interrupt the skill, understand?"
As I spoke, I raised a hand and patted the little skeleton's shoulder. "Xinran, do your best ~ ~"
The little skeleton raised its head and looked at me. Beneath the armor, its blood-red eyes were filled with confusion.
… …
I locked onto the boss and activated Charge!
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, I raised my sword and used my strongest killing move — Pardon + Desperate Gambit!
“MISS！”
“3750！”
As expected, this boss's stats were too strong. My damage was greatly reduced, but I could still break through its Defense. In this case, killing this Golden-armored Devil Insect shouldn't be a problem.
In reality, this was just a Gold Rank boss. I had no problem killing it alone.
The Golden-armored Devil Insect let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings, and stabbed me with its stinger. The stinger brushed against the patterns of the Purgatory War Armor and caused sparks to fly. It only hurt a little, but didn't deal much damage!
“321！”
As expected, the level difference wasn't big. Even a Gold Rank boss couldn't deal much damage to me!
After I was confident, I attacked fiercely. The Purgatory Sword flew up and down, shaving off the Golden-armored Devil Insect's HP. The little skeleton also stabbed the Golden-armored Devil Insect with its spear, riddling it with holes.
"Gulp!"
After fighting for almost a minute and drinking a health potion, the boss had already lost 25% of its HP. It looked like the battle would be over in five minutes at most. My current stats were so high that I could kill a Gold Rank boss with 5 bottles of Rank 6 potions. The rest of the boss could be killed by relying on health regeneration and Tenacity of the Dead. It was very cheap. Fans even liked to read:
A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye. My sword pierced the Golden-armored Devil Insect's body, taking away its last sliver of HP. Done!
"Jie jie..."
The Golden-armored Devil Insect died with a scream, dropping a bunch of spoils of war!
I couldn't help but smile. Very good, this battle was very comfortable. There was no one to steal the equipment, and I didn't have to worry about assassins coming here to ambush me. Assassins would be beaten to death by the Devil Beetles at the entrance the moment they entered. There was no doubt about that. In a situation where the distance was less than 3 yards, there probably wasn't a single assassin in Floating Ice City who had the ability to use stealth to trick a Level 75 Devil Beetle!
I bent down to look at the spoils of war. Several high-quality Phantasmal Magic Stones were thrown into my bag. There were also a few pieces of equipment. When I picked them up, they didn't seem very good — [Venom Wristguards]: Level 70 Silver-grade, Defense 100, Increases Poison Resistance by 1% [Golden Leather Hat]: Level 70 Dark Steel – grade, Defense 55, Increases Agility by 0.6% [Forest Dagger]: Level 70 Silver-grade, Attack 75 ~ 90, Increases Attack by 1%...
All in all, these were three pieces of trash equipment. They would be excellent items on the street, but they would be embarrassing if they were sold in the auction house. In short, I was conflicted.
Just as I was feeling disappointed, I touched the boss's body again. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. A dark gold ring appeared!
I was rich!
Judging from the color, it was definitely Dark Gold – grade. In principle, Gold Rank Bosses wouldn't drop Dark Gold – grade equipment, but there were exceptions. There was about a 1% chance. High-level Dark Gold Rank Bosses had a chance of dropping Gold – grade equipment. This time, I was very lucky!
I held the ring in my hand and touched it. My heart jumped. As expected, it was Dark Gold – grade — [Paralysis Ring] (Dark Gold – grade) Strength: + 50, Stamina: + 45 Additional: Increases user's close combat attack power by 7%. Special Characteristics: In close combat, there is a 5% chance to paralyze the opponent, causing them to enter a paralyzed state for 3 seconds. Level Requirement: 70. Class Requirement: Warrior...
