Bai Xiaowen met the patriarchs of the Graybeard and Hawkeye tribes again.
"Hahaha! Lord Prophet, we know that you value the Ancient Rune Armor very much. Our Dwarf Kingdom sent it overnight, "said Cadel Hawkeye, who was wearing a monocle and was a Dwarf Sniper.
"Yes, Old Copper Hammer was angry that we informed him of the meeting at night. However, when he heard that it was about the Great Prophet, he didn't have much of a temper." Morato Graybeard rubbed his hands and said eagerly, "Great Prophet, take a look. This is the ancient rune armor."
An iron box with copper nails was placed in front of Bai Xiaowen.
A Dwarf Warrior reached out and clasped the ring of the iron box and opened it. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and a set of slightly shabby armor made of unknown material was revealed.
This shape … It was a bit like the Holy Cloth in Saint Seiya. Bai Xiaowen held back because he knew that Li Shuyi would not be able to catch up with this joke.
The surface of the Ancient Rune Armor was engraved with countless exquisite patterns. It was complicated but not messy, showing a different kind of beauty.
In fact, there were many mysterious magic runes hidden in these patterns. This was also a conclusion that the dwarven masters had come to after many years of research. However, due to the defect of the power source, the Ancient Rune Armor could not be activated. The magic runes on it could only be slowly identified by the dwarven masters with their naked eyes.
"Thank you for sending it personally, Patriarchs." Bai Xiaowen bowed in the Blacktide Continent.
Hawkeye Patriarch said, "Haha, Lord Prophet is a friend of us dwarves. You are welcome."
Graybeard Patriarch said, "That … Lord Prophet, do you think …"
Bai Xiaowen saw Graybeard Patriarch rubbing his hands and quickly responded, "I understand … Okay." He took out the Magic-Soldier Combination Device and handed the key-shaped device to Graybeard Patriarch.
The Spiritual Realm's Law prompted a message:
"The exchange with the Spiritual Realm's character is complete. You have lost the Magic-Soldier Combination Device (Incomplete). You have obtained the special item: Ancient Rune Armor (Incomplete). "
"Awakening Skill Task III has been completed. Do you want to submit? You can choose to submit a single item or all three items. "
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the Ancient Rune Armor could be brought out of the Blacktide Realm. It belonged to him now. Of course, Bai Xiaowen did not need to be brought out. He could just complete the Awakening Skill Quest here.
Bai Xiaowen sent the two Clan Leaders off. Before he left, he asked, "Clan Leader Gray Beard, you should be familiar with forging, right?"
The Eagle Eye Patriarch laughed and said, "Old Grey is more than familiar. The Graybeard Tribe has always been the tribe with the highest craftsmanship among the dwarven craftsmen. As the chief, Old Graybeard is a top craftsman. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I have a request …"
"Lord Prophet, are you going to forge equipment? No problem! " Old Gray Beard was in a good mood after obtaining the Magic Machine Army Assembly Device. "However, I'm very busy. I'm afraid I won't have the time to forge equipment. If you don't mind, I can recommend a top-notch blacksmith to you. His skills aren't inferior to mine … "
"Who is it?" Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat.
"His name is Antoine Graybeard."
Bai Xiaowen suddenly understood. Wasn't this Han Xu's teacher? He had such a high level of craftsmanship.
"Clan Leader Gray Beard, my request is that I hope you can accept an apprentice," Bai Xiaowen said. "My sister Charlotte is very interested in forging equipment …"
Morato Graybeard looked at Li Shuyi and shook his head. "No, she's too delicate. She's not suitable to be a blacksmith."
At the side, Li Shuyi's small face quickly fell.
Bai Xiaowen knew that there must be a deeper reason why Li Shuyi couldn't be a blacksmith. It was likely that he didn't have the talent in this area. It couldn't be described as "delicate". Li Shuyi's Strength attribute was above Han Xu's. His Dexterity was much higher and his Physique was not too bad.
"It's a pity …" Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
"Master Prophet, do you still need to forge equipment?" Old Gray Beard seemed to be a little embarrassed that he didn't help.
"Well, I'll look for Master Antoine personally," Bai Xiaowen said as he sent the two clan leaders away.
After the two left, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi returned to the tent.
"Shuyi, you saw it. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't."
"Okay …" Li Shuyi tilted his head. "If you can't be a blacksmith, then so be it! Compared to this, hurry up and awaken the Wrath Claw. I can't wait … "
"It's the 'Summon Wrath Claw' skill that's awakened, not the Wrath Claw …" Bai Xiaowen corrected him. There was still a difference between the two.
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen took out three mission items.
Heart of Crimson Oak.
Nameplate of Mother of Wolves.
Ancient Rune Armor.
"I choose to submit these three mission items to awaken the 'Summon Wrath Claw' skill!"
The Spiritual Realm's Rule prompt quickly replied, "Please pay 200,000 Psionic Points."
"So much!" Li Shuyi's eyes widened. "I only spent 50,000 Psionic Points to awaken Shadowless Slash …"
"Splash, splash ~"
Bai Xiaowen's expression didn't change and his heart didn't skip a beat. He directly chose to pay.
A white torrent of energy rushed out of Bai Xiaowen's body and completely enveloped the three mission items.
The three mission items emitted a dazzling white light at the same time and then gradually disappeared.
"The awakening skill 'Summon Wrath Claw' has been completed."
"You've received the following general enhancements."
"A: Remove the level and proficiency of the awakening skill 'Summon Wrath Claw' and change it to three stages of mastery: Beginner, Advanced, and Proficient. For each stage of mastery, you'll automatically comprehend the skill's special effects. (Replaces the special effects of LV4 and LV7). "
"B: When the mastery of the awakening skill 'Summon Wrath Claw' reaches the Proficient stage, the restriction of the skill bar will be removed (no longer occupies the skill bar)."
"C: Remove the upper limit of mental energy required for the awakening skill 'Summon Wrath Claw', but it will still consume mental energy. The Wrath Claw (and its offspring) will automatically return to the summoning space when they receive fatal damage. They can only be summoned again after 10 natural days (or after entering/leaving the Spiritual Realm's dimension). "
"The first two enhancements are the same as the awakening of Shadowless Slash …" Li Shuyi said, "But the C option is different."
"It's improved." Bai Xiaowen said, "Originally, when the Wrath Claw dies, it has to spend 10,000 Psionic Points to be resurrected after leaving the Spiritual Realm. But now, even if it doesn't leave the Spiritual Realm, it can be summoned again after 10 days … Moreover, if the Wrath Claw dies while adventuring on Earth, it can be summoned again when entering the Spiritual Realm. "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "Wait a minute … it will automatically return to the summoning space when it receives fatal damage. Does that mean the Wrath Claw won't be killed again?"
Li Shuyi thought about this sentence and said, "I think it's like the near-death protection rule in the training ground."
"If this is analogous to the Near-Death Protection Rule, then I have to be careful when sharing my life with Wraith Claw in the future," Bai Xiaowen said thoughtfully. "If Wraith Claw's HP is full and it's killed instantly, it's considered a fatal injury … If it can escape this injury and return to the summoning space, does that mean that I'll bear all the damage from this attack?"
Li Shuyi said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? I think the near-death protection is a form of immunity to damage. Since you share life with the Wrath Claw, you shouldn't be affected. "
"What you said is also a possibility. Actually, there's another more optimistic possibility, which is that the Wrath Claw and I will first share the damage. The Wrath Claw's HP will drop to about 50% … This way, the Wrath Claw will not receive 'fatal' damage and will not be forced to return to the summoning space. "
Li Shuyi nodded and said, "This depends on the criteria of 'fatal' or the Wrath Claw."
"When we return to Earth, I want to do an experiment."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "For now, to be safe, it's better not to bind the Wrath Claw."
"Well, since the Wrath Claw no longer has the two special effects of Blood Rage and Well-Trained, it's okay to not bind it," Li Shuyi said.
"If these two special effects are gone … the awakening skill of the Wrath Claw will be weakened. I don't think it's normal."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Let's continue to look at the skill's description and special enhancements."
[Wrath Claw Summon – Awakening Skill: Expend a corresponding amount of mental energy to summon a powerful wolf pack leader Wrath Claw (or its offspring) to fight for you. Other awakened ones can sign a psychic contract with the Wrath Claw after obtaining your permission and expend mental energy to summon the offspring of the wolf pack. The summoned offspring of the wolf pack will have an inherent special effect of telepathy with the summoner.]
There was a small line of words at the end:
[Current number of wolves in the summoning space: 3, including Rare Leader Mother of Mount Wolf x1, Elite Mount Wolf x2. Every three natural months, a new batch of Elite Mount Wolves will be added. There is a small chance that a new Mount Wolf will appear.]
"The Mother of Mount Wolf counts as the offspring of the Wrath Claw? Maybe the seniority is mixed up … "Bai Xiaowen muttered.
"This … Is the number of Mount Wolves increasing all the time?!" Li Shuyi ignored Bai Xiaowen's complaints and asked with his eyes wide open, "There's no upper limit?"
Bai Xiaowen closed his eyes slightly and used his mental energy to connect with the consciousness of the summoned creatures in his mind.
Among the consciousness stars, there were indeed three consciousness stars beside the consciousness star that represented the Wrath Claw, one big and two small.
After the connection, a valley suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaowen's consciousness.
The valley was picturesque. Bai Xiaowen was familiar with it. It was the Wrath Claw's hometown — Wild Wolf Valley.
Two giant wolves, Wrath Claw and Harlequin, were lying lazily in the valley. Next to them were two Elite Mount Wolves that were half their size, licking each other's fur.
However, when Bai Xiaowen tried to communicate with these wolves, he realized that he could only summon one at a time!
"As expected …"
Bai Xiaowen looked carefully at the skill description. It said "or" its offspring, not "and" its offspring!
"One then … The appearance of a pack of wolves should be due to the strengthening of the Mother of Mount Wolves. I'm looking forward to the strengthening of the Wrath Claw. "
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and summoned the Wrath Claw.
Compared to before, the Wrath Claw's body size had increased by one size. It was about the same size as Fenrir.
Moreover, the Wrath Claw's body was covered with a layer of shiny armor. The magical runes on it were shining faintly. It looked much more powerful and domineering than before.
Bai Xiaowen quickly checked the Wrath Claw's attribute panel.
[Wrath Claw (Rare Leader Level 8)]
[Race: Wild Beast/Terrestrial Beast]
[Attributes: Strength 52 + 10, Agility 60 + 10, Constitution 40 + 10, Spirit 35 + 10] (Including Spirit and Shaman profession bonuses)
[Skill 1: Heart of the Wolf: Passive. All attributes of the Wrath Claw + 10. Active activation of the Heart of the Wolf: Allies in a large area (radius: Wrath Claw's Spirit * 20, unit: meters) will be affected by the howling effect. Attack power and attack speed increase by 20%. Lasts for 30 seconds.]
[Skill 2: Raging Tear: Passive. The claws and teeth of the Wrath Claw are lethal weapons. Critical hits will cause damage to enemies with weak constitutions. For every 1% of HP the Wrath Claw loses, it will gain an additional 1% critical hit chance.]
[Skill 3: Rune Armor: Passive. The Wrath Claw's armor will be increased by 20 points. Magic resistance will be increased by 10 points. Before the durability of the corresponding parts of the armor reaches zero, it will automatically gain a 75% damage reduction effect when receiving critical hits. Active activation of the Rune Armor will gain a layer of (150) Damage Absorption Shield. This effect requires one natural day to recharge.]
[Skill 4: Beast Instinct: Passive. For every powerful enemy the Wrath Claw kills and deals damage not less than 40% of the target's total HP, it will gain a random 1-3 base attribute increase. Active activation of Beast Instinct will allow it to pounce at a target within (35) meters at extreme speed and perform (7) consecutive claw attacks (each claw attack reduces damage by 50%) with a maximum of 5 layers of bleeding effect. Targets smaller than the Wrath Claw will be knocked to the ground and unable to move. The duration is determined by the strength of both parties. The base duration is 2.5 seconds.]
After looking at the attributes and skills, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were silent for a long time.
After a long time, Li Shuyi said, "Crazy."
Bai Xiaowen scratched the back of his head. "It's … it's okay. The basic attributes haven't changed from before. The skills only seem so strong after integrating the special effects from LV4 and LV7. For example, Berserk Rend is a combination of the two minor skills, Tear and Rend, and the special effect of 'Blood Rage'. There's also Beast Instinct, which is a combination of the big move Suppression and the special effect of 'Well-Trained'. "
After pausing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen said, "The other two skills are the differences between the Crimson Oak Heart and the Ancient Rune Armor."
The Heart of the Wolves was a passive + 10 to all attributes. It must be the effect of the Crimson Oak Heart. In addition, it combined the Wrath Claw's original ultimate skill, Howl.
The Rune Armor was the effect of the Ancient Rune Armor. The passive increase in armor and magic resistance was quite practical. In addition, the Rune Armor protected the vital parts of the Wrath Claw. It could be said that attacking the vital parts of the Wrath Claw would cause less damage than attacking the other parts.
The active 150-point damage absorption shield was the icing on the cake. It was equivalent to adding Bai Xiaowen's necklace's active skill, Judge's Determination.
Li Shuyi suddenly said, "Xiaowen, did you notice that after the Wrath Claw was awakened, no matter if it was Howl or Suppression, there was no cooldown time?"
"Yes, it should be the same as your Invincible Slash. It has become a limitation on the physical load and energy consumption. Actually, this is a trend of awakening skills." Bai Xiaowen sighed.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen had received a further notification from the Spiritual Realm. It asked him to name the awakening skill of the Wrath Claw.
In Bai Xiaowen's mind, the Wild Wolf Valley where the Wrath Claw lived flashed across his mind.
"After becoming an awakening skill, the Wrath Claw is not just a skill. It is more like the Wrath Claw's home." Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment. "The Wrath Claw has become partners with humans. So, the word 'wild' can be removed. Let's call it Wolf Valley."
