BXBX NOVEL Chapter 628 The Abyssal Lord Set Part 2
I was taken aback by the coat\'s description and stats. Not only that but the tier it possesses is also a God Tier. Just like the Versatile Weapon, it doesn\'t have a single durability available which means I can keep on using it without worrying whether it will be destroyed or not. Reading it wasn\'t impressive the first time I read it but I soon realized what the set does and why there are no available stats on the screen at the moment. It was because whatever my END stat was, the half value of the END stat will be the stat that the coat gets the moment I equip it which will be added to my current END.
Its tied abilities are quite good too in my opinion though I am kinda bummed that only one of them is active and the passive one is tied to the active skill but still, this is going to be something that I would be able to use in the future.
As for the other equipment I got, I checked them too and all of them have the same way of being unique though just like what the info has said, all of the stats of this equipment are all single stats of different parameters depending on the equipment.
The Head Equipment handles the INT stat, the Shoes handle the AGI stat, the Gloves handle the STR and the Pants handle the DEX stat.
The only downside of this set is that compared to the coat, the other equipment does not have a skill attached to them except for a question mark in them, meaning that I needed to identify them first before they are going to be able to appear normally. To identify them, I have to look for an artificer and let them identify the item.
Artificers are able to put buffs on the items, remove curses depending on how severe the curse is, or make it a blessed item. But the widely known reason why they are important is that they can identify things that cannot be identified.
Unfortunately, the Rebel Village doesn\'t have any artificers as the last one who resides there has died of old age. We just attended its funeral not too long ago and the only place where an artificer exists is on another city in the Luminous Continent and on other continents as well.
Since I am stuck on Luminous Continent, with my status as a rebel, going to cities is a big problem which is why I will have to hold off to let them identify the item until everything is over.
And the last thing to note here is the set effect. Like many other games that feature equipment in a set, equipping all pieces of a set at once will trigger the bonuses that will activate every time a piece of equipment that belongs to that set is equipped.
Because there is 5 equipment in one set, an equipment set will have 4 set effects as equipping one single piece of equipment that belongs to a set does not activate any effect but that would change if it turns into 2. The Abyssal Lord Set has it too. There are 5 tiers of it and the more equipped, the stronger the effects of the set will be.
-----------------------------
1 piece of the set equipped: None
2 pieces of the set equipped: Instant Death Chance: 10% increase in proc probability
3 pieces of the set equipped: [Dark Aura of the Abyssal Lord] can now be used. (Will disappear if the set is not equipped.
4 pieces of the set equipped: Resurrect from death, receive a full heal and invulnerability for 1 minute. (Can be used once every month). The equipment will also activate its binding effect on the current user who is equipped with all of the set pieces.
--------------------------------
I rubbed my eyes twice after reading the last set\'s effect. It\'s not an overpowered ability but it was another way to do a second chance in a battle. Isn\'t this pretty awesome? Not only do I get to fight back again after dying, but I also get to heal all of my HP and MP plus I am invulnerable in the battle for at least one minute, and that alone is a big game changer. Sure I am not dying at all, but there will come a time when it will be unavoidable so that means, this one will be a good effect.
But the equipment will be bound to me as a result. If I find a piece of better equipment, I will not be able to get rid of this item at all. I don\'t know if the Versatile Weapon will be capable of devouring it and removing it from my inventory but knowing this, it\'s something that I don\'t have an idea whether it will be a good thing or a bad thing.
There is no harm done equipping it so I decided to just replace the equipment I had and let the older items I had devoured by my Versatile Weapon. Every time I equip one, the set\'s abilities light up one by one which means they are now being activated. When I put on the shoes which is the last piece, my whole body felt heavy all of a sudden. It was like heavy chains are suddenly binding my whole body. I can\'t properly move and it was like I was restricted to all my movements,
"What the f*ck is happening? GUH!"
To my confusion, not a single one of my Summon\'s Area\'s followers started talking which made it a bit odd. I can\'t stand up as the heaviness I felt is very bad. It\'s like you are being crushed forcefully by an unknown force. The floor starts to cave in on where I am kneeling. I can\'t stand properly and kneeling is already taking almost all of my energy so just a single movement will take a lot of toll on my body.
"GUHHHH!" I tried to move my left leg to stand up but I still can\'t properly move it. Sweat is already dripping on my forehead and my energy to lift my whole body is getting drained. I gritted my teeth, and forcefully tried moving again and despite the pain that I experienced, I continue doing so.
It didn\'t take time until I pulled it up. I waited again before using the other leg and forcefully standing up by myself. I even have to use the bed to support myself and it almost broke my spinal cord just trying to do so. Thankfully, it is just in the game but I will have to suffer from the pain in the real world like I really did suffer a broken spinal cord.
"UGHHHHH! F*CK!"
As I try to resist the effect of what I am feeling, a status panel appeared right in front of me.
"[You are resisting. The power of the Abyssal Lord\'s set is trying to overwhelm you once more.]"
CRACK CRACK!
The floor is slowly showing cracked signs which means the effect was not just for me but for everywhere in my surroundings. I bit my lip, I grip the bed hard and I exert all of my effort on my legs, and tried to stand upright.
"[Your will resisted the effects of the Abyssal Lord Set. It is still trying to consume you,]"
I didn\'t care about the message that appeared and forced myself to continue standing with the effect still overwhelming my senses. Even if I tried to use my mana to at least lessen the force, it is not working at all and all I can do is endure it. I can feel the blood flowing on my lip as I bit it so I can stand up and exert a little more effort to stand up.
After a few more minutes of standing without moving, the overwhelming pressure I felt slowly disappeared. And soon enough, it disappeared. The feeling still lingered but it is no longer as bad as when the force is trying to overwhelm me. I slowly collapse on the bed, removed the mask from my head, and catch my breath with sweat dripping on my face and on my whole body.
"Whoever made this idea of making the wearer suffer after getting the whole set equipped should also suffer a lot. DAMMIT!"
I know it helped me a little bit, but just a little bit. It wasn\'t something I like to feel very good about.
Now that everything is over, I closed my eyes and decided to log out. I am done with it. And a big f*ck you to whoever designed this kind of mechanic. Now that everything is done, I will have to go and rest before I die of exhaustion. I am totally drained to the point I can sleep the whole day without a problem.
Next time I equip something new like a set of equipment, perhaps I have to take precautions first.
