Chapter 94: Xiao Yurou, the boss has a big treasure to show you ~
However, these all-class skills basically have nothing to do with the rules of death, so they can’t be first mutated and enhanced with Nether Crystal Cores.
“Being short on high-end combat power for now, I might as well give it a try. If I can really create the ideal summoned creatures, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a few more tricks up my sleeve, right?”
Skill Fusion Mutation Scrolls are quite frightening in their low mutation rates, so I guess not many people are using them. If I spend more Dragon Coins, I should be able to buy some.”
Besides, for the Second Order job change task, challenging on Hero difficulty with the blood of a Hero Boss to forcibly catalyze a Lord Boss, as long as the challenge is successful, I should be able to get a scroll.
If all else fails, I can recruit some subordinates. As long as they sign the Boundary Sea Contract, I can help them grow to their full potential, and then getting these scrolls won’t be an issue.
It’s just that after taking a higher level test, I found all sorts of shortcomings. Zi Liyuan must fill in all these gaps.
Thinking about these things while cleaning up the battlefield, replenishing the lost Skeleton Knights, cursing the Boss with various spells, and even summoning a dozen Crossbow Skeletons to stack the Sunder Armor effect on the five Bosses.
With the continual strengthening of Spirit attributes, Zi Liyuan’s ability to multitask became increasingly powerful, controlling the entire battlefield. Even if there was a slight hiccup, he could immediately set it right.
After applying Sunder Armor to the Bosses, the damage that Skeleton Knights could inflict increased a tiny bit, really just a bit. Before they could cause 3-4 points of damage, but now they could do 5-7 points.
But the number of Skeleton Knights was high, and with various curses applied, a single Skeleton Knight could deal around 10 points of physical damage.
These Bosses, having been blown up by the Corpse Explosion Technique, now had only half a health bar left, with their hit points basically around 1.5 million.
Relying on Skeletons to grind down these Bosses would be a huge time problem.
However, the gains from this time were also immensely huge, not to mention the corpses of over a hundred Lord Bosses, just the silver equipment they dropped almost blinded him.
Basically, each Lord dropped 12 pieces of silver equipment, including 6 Blood Rune Evil Packs; the rest were either equipment or items, not to mention the blue and green equipment that dropped.
Zi Liyuan couldn’t be bothered with these things, just picking them up and tossing them into the backpack space was enough, and they could be dealt with in one go after leaving the instance.
As for the silver hero equipment, he would still check the attributes, as the Priest set he was wearing, after all, was a Level 20 set. Compared to these Level 40 silver pieces in terms of basic attribute increase, there was a gap.
If it weren’t for the set effects and skills of his Priest set, Zi Liyuan might have switched to Level 40 silver equipment long ago.
However, he was also deliberately collecting Spiritual Power-boosting gear now to increase his substantial Spiritual Energy for mutating and enhancing some death-related skills.
For instance, to use the Nether Crystal Core for mutation enhancement of the “Death Fog” skill, it requires a high Spiritual Energy value of 50,000 points, whereas he only has a full count of 30,000 energy points now.
If he could find several limit-breaking pieces of equipment that increase Spiritual Power among these silver items, and specifically focus on stacking Spiritual Energy, several skills could undergo mutation enhancement.
“Eh, these Bosses even drop stuff like this?”
It is a silver toy, a mechanical lizard creature of silver quality about the length of an adult’s arm.
Finding the item interesting and able to activate it just by placing it in the backpack space, Zi Liyuan went ahead and activated it.
A metallic lizard, a foot high and as long as an adult’s arm, appeared at his feet, bobbing its head and following him around. It even went so far as to fetch nearby fallen objects and lay them at Zi Liyuan’s feet, rubbing against his calf to show affection.
“Interesting, this thing’s intelligence is somewhat high,” he said.
As Zi Liyuan examined the mechanical creature toy, he stroked his chin and fell silent for a moment before looking towards Shen Yurou, who was not far away.
“Xiao Yurou, come here, the boss has a super fun treasure for life that you’re going to love-!”
Gazing into the dark barrel of the large rifle aimed just below his navel, Zi Liyuan covered his face.
What on earth had this woman been getting into all this time!
Those writers of little imperial uncles ought to be dragged out and broken as instruments of crime!
Summoning three Bone Shields in silence, his Spirit controlled them to protect his source of joy, as Zi Liyuan continued to clean up the battlefield.
Can’t afford to provoke, better slip away…
On another part of the battlefield, the Spider Monster launched into a frenzy of slashing, the blades of its arms swinging to create countless afterimages. Each strike sparked fires on Lao Tie’s thick head, yet not a single mark was left.
Meanwhile, Lao Tie, gripping the spider’s leg with intent focus, had already snapped two of the creature’s left legs and was about to smash a third when the Spider Monster began to dodge.
Unfortunately, in Lao Tie’s gravitational field coupled with Delayed Deceleration, the Spider Monster’s speed, reduced by 50%, couldn’t match Lao Tie’s agility.
No matter how it tried to evade, Lao Tie grasped the creature’s enormous abdomen and inched forward until he secured the third leg and began to hammer away, releasing his iron grip only then.
This Second Order Lord Boss wasn’t like the Bosses manipulated by the canid traitors, knowing how to use skills in combination for maximum benefit.
It seemed devoid of intelligence, driven only by a lust for slaughter, wildly swinging its scythe-like arms at any living thing, eager to chop them into pieces.
But alas, it met Lao Tie, the hellish demon puppet, encased entirely in a layer of steel—truly a steel body, incredibly tough.
The Spider Monster might have broken through Lao Tie’s physical resistance, but it couldn’t leave even a scratch on his steel body. Instead, it was its own bladed arms that began to crack and shatter.
“This creature must be a creation of the Evil God. A Second Order Lord monster, its attributes are the strongest I’ve seen among the many Lords,” he said.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Zi Liyuan threw spells at the five surviving First Order Lord Bosses to deal damage and leaned close to Shen Yurou, examining the Spider Monster’s attributes and skills.
“The Evil God must have created more than one of these things. Being attacked by more than two would be very dangerous.
This kind of Spider Monster has an extraordinarily tough body; destroying it is incredibly difficult, and it also has regenerative abilities.
As for vulnerabilities, so far, I have found only one: the blood-red gem on its navel.”
Shen Yurou had no idea how many shots she had fired, but in addition to cooperating with Lao Tie to break the Spider Monster’s legs, she continued to search for weak points to target on its body.
