ALL NOVEL Chapter 61 - Tempest Shadow Break
Other attributes aside…
The Blood Hell’s damage per second got a 20-point boost. One swing could now swiftly take down a 3000 HP wild monster.
Regarding the Wail property, it allowed area of effect control and was passive, not active.
Active properties had time limits and could only be used once before needing a cooldown.
On the flip side, with a fast enough attack speed, passive properties had a high triggering probability.
“With 400 enhancement points left, I’ll upgrade Swift Slash,” Jiang Cheng thought.
His mind buzzed with a realization.
[10,000 evolution points and 100 enhancement points spent. Swift Slash skill evolved successfully.]
[Gale Step detected as a combinable skill. Fusion effect activated. Proceed with fusion evolution?]
“Fusion evolution?” Jiang Cheng was momentarily surprised, then thrilled.
Without hesitation, he opted for fusion.
[Fusion requires double the evolution and enhancement points. Confirm fusion?]
“Confirm!”
[40,000 evolution points and 400 enhancement points spent. Skill fusion evolution initiated.]
[Fusion evolution successful. Advanced skill Tempest Shadow Break obtained.]
[Tempest Shadow Break]
Quality: Legendary
Level: 1
Passive: 50 Agility, 50 Movement Speed
Active: Costs 300 MP. Boosts attack speed by 300% and movement speed by 100% for 10 minutes. 12% chance on hit to trigger Shadow effect, dealing an extra attack at 30% damage and bypassing defense.
“This effect is potent. Movement speed should hit 0.7 seconds per step when activated. Shame the duration’s only 10 minutes.”
Jiang Cheng felt a pang of regret but considered upgrading it further.
[Advancement requires 100,000 evolution points, 200 enhancement points, and 10 silver coins.]
“Looks like I’m out of enhancement points again. Never mind, I’ll evolve other skills.”
After spending 320,000 evolution points, leaving only 50,000, Jiang Cheng maxed out his long-neglected Assault Armor, ready for breakthrough evolution.
He was astonished by the immense evolution point cost to upgrade Assault Armor.
Though initially just a Rare skill, the later evolution requirements were staggering.
Thankfully, this expanded his arsenal, getting him closer to regaining full job mastery.
[Assault Armor]
Quality: Rare
Level: 10 (Breakthrough Evolution Ready)
Skill Description: Costs 300 MP. Allows free switching between weapon forms for 30 minutes – bone armor, spear, longbow, chain scythe, dual swords, staff, gauntlets, daggers, magic-resisting armor, and blade.
Transformed weapon attack equals 100% of user’s base attack. Bone armor provides 100% of user’s defense. Magic-resisting armor grants 100 magic defense.
“Magic-resisting armor is just what I need for magical defense.”
Jiang Cheng nodded contentedly after reading the skill description.
With magic-resisting armor, he finally felt a bit more secure in his magical defenses.
He also maxed out Blood Drain, gaining a 5% life steal effect, before halting his evolution spree.
He had depleted all his evolution and enhancement points.
“Quick, it’s here! My tracking skill indicates this is its lair. Its aura disappeared within this ruined temple. It’s gotta be here.”
In the distance, 136 players, clad in various white gear, split into fourteen teams of ten each, marched toward the temple.
“Shen Xiu, sure we can handle that neutral Boss?”
“Guild leader, after tracking it, I found out it has high damage but no magic defense and slow movement. It lacks control skills and can only shoot 30 arrows at once.”
“We’ve got 40 knights to tank, and 76 mages ready to unleash havoc with Level 10 white weapons, dealing 50 magic damage each. Plus, 20 priests will keep us healed. We’ll grind it down for sure!”
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng smiled knowingly. “Looks like we’ve got some new test subjects.”
