"Good stuff."
Bai Xiaowen was pleasantly surprised. This was a Level 7 Boss, and the loot from the three draws were all worth it. He really deserved a thumbs up.
Shapeshifting Skin was equivalent to a Three-Star Invisibility Skill. Its priority was quite high.
The overall priority of a skill's effect after it was used was: Awakened's basic priority + additional skill's priority. In other words, Bai Xiaowen's Shapeshifting Skin would have a Level 7 Invisibility Priority (4 + 3). Li Shuyi's Shapeshifting Skin would have a Level 6 Invisibility Priority.
Even a Boss with a Spirit Ability would find it difficult to detect a Level 6 Invisibility Skill with its Spirit Ability unless the Boss had a skill that specialized in Invisibility, such as Ghost Vision or Illumination Bullet.
Take Bai Xiaowen for example. When he used his Spirit Ability to scan a large area, he could only detect Level 4 Invisibility Skill and below. When he narrowed the scanning area and scanned more precisely, he could only detect Level 5 Invisibility Skill and below, and it had to be near him.
The Grade A + Shapeshifting Skin could also be used as a life-saving tool at a critical moment. However, compared to its combat value, Bai Xiaowen valued its "tactical" use more. It could be used to hide, steal, and frame others in the Spiritual Realm.
For example, the Grade A + Illusion Charm that Bai Xiaowen obtained in the Jiajing Plane was a very important tactical tool. Without the Illusion Charm, Bai Xiaowen would not have been able to borrow troops and ships from Hu Zongxian, let alone kill Matsuura Shinkuro.
The last special treasure was the Bi 'an Heart. Like the Berserker's Heart, the other item in Bai Xiaowen's inventory, it could be used to strengthen equipment. Not only could it increase the success rate, but it also had a chance to add additional effects.
Although Bai Xiaowen did not know much about this kind of treasure, he was sure that it would be valuable.
The Black Soul Stone experienced another surge in growth. Its growth finally broke through 1,000 points and reached 958 points of Soul Essence. This way, the Black Soul Stone could be upgraded to Level 5 and unlock a new strengthening tree.
Bai Xiaowen did not upgrade the Black Soul Stone for the time being. He had more important things to do. After Bi 'an died, a large amount of blood flowed out. Now was a good time to use Bi' an's blood to cleanse the impure essence and repair Absolon's Blood Essence Stone.
It should be noted that this was a treasure space, similar to the wilderness on Earth. The corpses of monsters could also be used, such as blood, bones, and flesh. There was no problem with Bi 'an's blood cleansing.
But in the Spirit Realm, he couldn't do that.
If Bai killed Bi's blood essence, the Blood, the Blood, the Blood. it would not affect Bai's Blood.. but it would take a chance to use it's blood.... it would not.. but it would would take a chance to use Blood's's's.
If the difficulty of the battle was high enough, the rules of the spiritual realm might also list the Suanni's Blood as a special item that was guaranteed to be dropped. It would not be included in the list of loot draws. This way, it wouldn't take up the number of lottery chances.
The blood that flowed out of Bi 'an was dark green and gave off a foul smell. Bai Xiaowen lost his appetite at first sight. He pinched his nose and took out the impure essence and put it into Bi 'an's blood.
Beams of light flashed, and the impure essence was purified one after another. They were then "fed" to Absolon's Blood Essence Stone.
After feeding Bi 'an's' Blood Essence Stone more than a dozen times, the "Slightly Damaged" status finally disappeared.
Absolon's Blood Essence Stone glowed and floated in the air. After the light faded, Bai Xiaowen looked at the Blood Essence Stone's description with anticipation.
The Blood Essence Stone had become a piece of equipment!
[Absolon's Blood Essence Stone (Exclusive)]
[Rarity: Lord (Dark Gold)]
[Equipment Slot: Accessory]
[Equipment Prerequisite: Exclusive]
[Attribute: None]
[Additional Skill 1: Blood Thirst: When you deal damage, the Blood Essence Stone will store 10% of the damage as extra HP. The limit is 1/3 of your Maximum HP. You can use the extra HP in the Blood Essence Stone at any time to recover the same amount of HP. This skill is not affected by any negative status effects that reduce recovery speed.]
[Additional Skill 2: Mana Thirst: When you cast a spell, the Blood Essence Stone will store 10% of the MP consumed as extra MP. The limit is 1/3 of your Maximum MP. You can use the extra MP in the Blood Essence Stone at any time to recover the same amount of MP. This skill is not affected by any negative status effects that reduce recovery speed.]
[Additional Skill 3: Slaughter Thirst: Your attacks or spells have a chance to summon Absolon's phantom, dealing 10% of your Maximum HP as True Damage. This skill is only effective against Awakened and Spiritual Realm creatures of the same rank.]
[Durability Description: This Blood Essence Stone contains Absolon's powerful will. It cannot be destroyed even if a large amount of essence is poured into it. Only Absolon's killers are eligible to wear it.]
Dark Gold equipment!
This was Bai Xiaowen's second time seeing a piece of Dark Gold equipment. Unlike the previous Dark Gold equipment, Warlord's Charge, Bai Xiaowen could equip this one!
As expected of a piece of Dark Gold equipment, it had three additional skills.
The first two skills, Blood Thirst and Mana Thirst, could be seen as a single skill. It was equivalent to a portable Health and Mana Potion, greatly extending Bai Xiaowen's endurance. More importantly, this was an equipment skill. The effect of restoring HP did not overlap with the effect of healing potions and food.
Blood Thirst was equivalent to increasing Bai Xiaowen's Maximum HP by 1/3. With his current 270 HP (excluding the 50 HP added by the Eclipse Ruler's Badge), his Maximum HP could be increased by 90 HP!
When Blood Thirst's storage was full, Bai Xiaowen's HP was equivalent to 360 HP. This was probably the HP of a tank hero of the same rank. This did not even include the Wrath Claw's Shared Life. Bai Xiaowen wanted to draw his sword and look around, shouting, "Who can grant me death?"
The third skill, Slaughter's Thirst, was an extremely powerful offensive skill. The 10% maximum HP and the True Damage it dealt showed just how powerful this skill was. The only unstable thing was the trigger rate. If one's luck was bad …
However, even without Slaughter Thirst, the effect of the first two skills, which provided Health and Mana Potions, was worthy of Bai Xiaowen's hard work to obtain this equipment. Including Slaughter Thirst, this equipment was completely worthy of the title of Dark Gold equipment. It could be called the best Dark Gold equipment!
In fact, the third skill was more suitable for Li Shuyi. Her attack speed was extremely fast, and she would definitely trigger Absolon's Phantom more frequently. However, this was a piece of exclusive equipment that could only be worn by Bai Xiaowen, the Slayer. He could only let it go.
Of course, after Bai Xiaowen activated the Desert Eagle's Rapid Fire mode, his attack speed was also very fast. This piece of Dark Gold equipment was not wasted.
Bai Xiaowen did not hesitate to remove the Eclipse Ruler's Badge and replace it with Absolon's Blood Essence Stone. An Awakened only had two slots for accessories. Among them, the Dark Soul Stone, which was exclusive to Heroes, could not be removed.
Although the Eclipse Ruler's Badge was also very good, and the Eclipse effect was a precious dispelling skill, it was still inferior to the Blood Essence Stone.
More importantly, Bai Xiaowen had the passive skill Sincere Heart, which could reduce Crowd Control abilities. He also had food that could dispel Crowd Control abilities. Furthermore, the Necromancer's Yellow Sky skill could dispel Crowd Control abilities with a 7-point priority.
In comparison, the Eclipse Ruler's Badge could only dispel Crowd Control effects with a Level 6 Crowd Control ability. The main value of this piece of equipment to Bai Xiaowen was its maximum HP of 50 points. However, Absolon's Blood Essence Stone and its first skill, "Blood Thirst", were equivalent to 90 points of maximum HP. Naturally, it was better than the Eclipse Ruler's Badge.
After equipping the Blood Essence Stone, Bai Xiaowen admired its mesmerizing dark gold luster. He then closed his personal inventory and chose to upgrade the Dark Soul Stone.
"The Dark Soul Stone has been upgraded to Level 5. Current growth rate: 958 Soul Essence."
"The Dark Soul Stone's Level 5 Enhancement Scroll has been unlocked."
Bai Xiaowen looked at the 900 + Soul Essence happily. This was mainly the result of the disco dancing at Kitz's grave that had attracted a large number of Elite Specters.
When he had obtained the Dark Soul Stone and unlocked the Level 2 Enhancement Scroll, Bai Xiaowen had secretly made up his mind to kill more Elites and Bosses to accumulate more Soul Essence. When he had the money, he would unlock all the enhancement options. The extra Soul Essence would be rewarded to the Banshee Delifa. Every time she called him master, he would reward her …
However, he had always been in a state where he could not make ends meet. He could only hide this thought deep in his heart. Now, with nearly 1,000 Soul Essence, Bai Xiaowen could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel for all the enhancement options.
However, when Bai Xiaowen saw the Level 5 Enhancement Scroll, his original "I'm very handsome, I'm very rich" thought instantly vanished.
Enhancement Option 1: Increase the number of Skeletal Warriors (Skeletal Swordsmen) by 2, all attributes by 2. Requires 500 Soul Essence.
Enhancement Option 2: Increase all vampire attributes by 4. Requires 400 Soul Essence.
Enhancement Option 3: Add a new Corpse Demon summoned creature: Ghoul * 2. Ghoul has a normal template. Requires 500 Soul Essence.
Enhancement Option 4: Add a new Bone Race summoned creature: Terror Knight * 1. Terror Knight has an elite template. Requires 450 Soul Essence.
Enhancement Option 5: Add a new Corpse Demon summoned creature: Zombie Dog * 2. Zombie Dog has a normal template. Requires 500 Soul Essence.
Of these five enhancement options, the lowest required 400 Soul Essence, while the highest required 500 Soul Essence. Bai Xiaowen currently had 958 Soul Essence, so he could only unlock two of them.
"I don't have to unlock two … I can consider unlocking the enhancement option on the previous floor first."
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment. Although the enhancement options on the fifth floor were very tempting, in terms of cost-effectiveness, some of them might not necessarily be as beneficial as the fourth floor.
For example, Enhancement Option 3 and Enhancement Option 5 seemed to add two melee creatures with normal templates, but they required 500 Soul Essence. On average, each normal creature would cost 250 Soul Essence! Compared to the fourth floor's Enhancement Option 2 and Enhancement Option 3, it was inferior.
The fourth floor's Enhancement Option 2, which added a new Elite Skeleton Warrior, only required 150 Soul Essence. As for Enhancement Option 3, which added a new Elite Evil Ghost, it only required 200 Soul Essence.
Of course, Ghouls and Zombie Dogs should be considered very powerful undead creatures, stronger than Skeleton Swordsmen and Shieldbearers. However, normal templates were still normal templates, and definitely not as good as elite templates.
Bai Xiaowen did a rough calculation and finally chose to unlock the fourth floor's Enhancement Option 2 and Enhancement Option 3. Adding a new Skeleton Warrior and an Elite Evil Ghost consumed 350 Soul Essence.
Bai Xiaowen then clicked on option 1 of the fifth floor's options.
The reason why he chose Enhancement Option 1 was because this option not only added two normal creatures, but also gave him a bonus of + 2 to all attributes. This way, Bai Xiaowen would have six Skeleton Soldiers, and each of them would have + 2 to all attributes. There was no need to mention the high benefits.
After unlocking the three Enhancement Options, Bai Xiaowen only had 108 Soul Essence left.
Delifa's sweet voice came from the Black Soul Stone, "Master, the new summoned creatures can devour the souls of powerful beings stored in the Black Soul Stone and mutate into stronger creatures. Do you want them to choose the souls of powerful beings to devour now? "
Bai Xiaowen said, "Wait, what kind of powerful beings can they devour now?"
Delifa the Banshee said, "The two new Skeleton Warriors can devour the souls of the Yellow Turban Army's Heavy Armored Swordsmen from the Three Kingdoms Plane, or the Elite Orc Infantry from the Cain Plane, or the Elite Pirate Swordsmen from the Jiajing Plane."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and finally chose the souls of the Heavy Armored Swordsmen.
This was because the other two souls of powerful beings were more of a damage output type.
It was not that the damage output type was bad, but damage output needed the support of the corresponding attributes to unleash its power. The Skeleton Warriors' attributes were too poor, and their growth was also very poor. Although they had been strengthened by + 2 to all attributes twice, it only narrowed the gap between them and creatures of the same level and template.
Especially the Dexterity attribute, which was the Skeleton Warriors' eternal weakness. Low Dexterity meant low attack speed. How could a melee fighter want to deal damage? It didn't exist. It was better to obediently be a Shield Guard and block attacks for Bai Xiaowen. The Shield Bash skill and the shield's ability to absorb damage would be more useful in battle. As for damage output, naturally, Li Shuyi and the other summoned creatures would deal with it.
Bai Xiaowen then inquired about the souls of powerful beings that the Skeleton Warriors and the Evil Ghost could devour.
Unfortunately, these two elite creatures could only devour the souls of elite beings. The Skeleton Warriors could devour the souls of elite Undead Warriors, and the Evil Ghost could devour the souls of elite Ghosts and Elite Vengeful Spirits.
"Can't they devour Commander-level creatures?" Bai Xiaowen was a little disappointed. Every creature in the Black Soul Stone only had one chance to devour the souls of powerful beings. Once they devoured and mutated, they would be fixed and unable to devour the souls of other powerful beings.
