Chapter 858 - 810: Blazing Angel Battle Armor and Curse Armor
As the battle ended, the entire regional channel was abuzz. Various teams had already started to collectively transport the demon army’s leftover resources, while ordinary players were eager to return to the city to claim their merits and see if they qualified for formal Crusader employment.
For a while, the mountain road back to the city was bustling with people.
Da Fei immediately approached the blacksmith to hand over the task: "Hello, sir, it’s the Angel Leader—"
The blacksmith laughed heartily and said, "No need to say any more, from the moment you destroyed the enemy’s Lava Blood Lake base, warrior, you’ve earned the qualification for this equipment. Please accept it!"
——System Prompt: You’ve received the extra reward of "Blazing Angel Battle Armor" for being the MVP Merit player of the Divine Punishment City!
——Blazing Angel Battle Armor: S-level strategic treasure, armor equipment position. Attack +10, Defense +30, Magic Power +10, Knowledge +10, Attack Speed +1, Move Speed +1, Damage +1, Life +1, Morale +1, Luck +1. Can be enhanced.
Here it is! Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed, this timely assistance felt even better than explosive Divine Artifacts. Brother never had a good armor, always treated the initial B-level Spider Demon Armor as a family heirloom, now finally I can put on new armor, and with the attributes of this armor, it’s definitely my ultimate gear, right?
The blacksmith laughed again and said, "Warrior, this is an armor that can be enhanced. You can enhance it based on your specific needs. The Angel Leader should have awarded you a Divine Punishment Crusade Badge, right? That’s the item that can be used for enhancement. If you feel this armor is worth enhancing, I can do it for you!"
Da Fei did not hesitate and immediately took out the cross that crushed the Demon King’s soul: "Please, sir, do the honors!" At this moment, the Crusader was gleaming with blood, the eerie killing intent captivating.
The blacksmith smiled and said, "You’re welcome, warrior! You can choose to enhance one attribute of the battle armor. This Demon King’s Soul provides additional bonuses to Magic Power, Knowledge, and Life. If you have a particular need for these three attributes, you can choose to enhance Magic Power, Knowledge, or Life."
——System Prompt: The enhancement of your Blazing Angel Battle Armor is starting. You can only choose one attribute for enhancement, please select the attribute you need.
Da Fei raised an eyebrow: "I need to enhance attack speed, is that possible?"
The blacksmith nodded: "Of course, but this Abyss Blood Demon King’s Soul doesn’t align with the attribute of attack speed, so the effect won’t be optimal. It feels like a pity, please consider carefully, warrior!"
Da Fei was astonished on the spot! What the heck! Can’t you not give me trouble on such a happy day? Just thinking about how my enhancement isn’t optimal makes me uncomfortable all over!
Am I only to go with the flow and choose to add to life? If adding to life, it could indeed compensate for the Spider Demon Armor’s effect, and it fits well with my current level 6 Angel Leader +4 Life and Abyss Blood Bottle +3 Life effect. But still, I’m uncomfortable!
For a moment, Da Fei was extremely conflicted.
Indeed, although Da Fei is now at the level of leading boss-level troops, with a boss unit having between 2500 to over 5000 Life, even if Da Fei stacked Life attributes up to +20, it wouldn’t mean much for the boss. But for low-level soldiers, it means a lot and is comparable to a Divine Artifact!
Da Fei cannot always field boss-level units in every situation. Even if he must bring them, he has to bring a large number of low-level soldiers as cannon fodder for cover. Analyzing the relationship between Angel bosses and cannon fodder troops:
An Angel boss with 2500 Life needs 200 Command Power, which equals 200 archers. Each archer’s base Life is 10 points, totaling 2000 Life for the archers. In other words, the boss Angel’s and the archers’ Life Value for endurance under the same Command Power have little difference.
However, a single archer +20 Life, for 200, results in +4000 Life, this is the qualitative change arising from quantitative change! As long as the Life is sufficient and tough enough, it can also withstand the opposition’s high-speed flow.
Therefore, adding Life is always the king attribute and will never be eliminated as players’ realms improve.
Anyway, the armor already has +1 attack speed, it’s not too bad. So, after weighing the pros and cons, Da Fei reluctantly shook his head: "Then please enhance the Life attribute, sir."
The blacksmith nodded: "Very well, warrior. Actually, not obtaining the perfect attribute isn’t a big deal. If you later get a suitable enhancement item, you can still continue to enhance this equipment for a second time, but you cannot continue to enhance the Life attribute, and the failure rate is relatively high, please remember, warrior!"
Continuing to enhance? Da Fei was suddenly pleased: "Then may I ask, sir, what does enhancement failure entail?"
The blacksmith seriously said: "That depends on luck. If luck is good, only the enhancement item disappears and fails. If luck is bad, the equipment’s attributes may be reduced. If luck is extremely bad, the equipment might even get destroyed! This Blazing Angel Battle Armor is from the hand of the previous generation’s Divine Craftsman, very rare, so please cherish it, warrior, and do not easily attempt it!"
—Ugh! Da Fei sprayed a mouthful of water! What the heck, is this advice to cherish the armor or an encouragement to fall into a pit? It’s like intentionally revealing a few harmful websites to teenagers and then solemnly warning them, "These are harmful websites, definitely don’t go in, brother is Lei Feng", let’s see if they go in or not!
Da Fei could only let out a long sigh: "Thank you for your advice, sir, I understand."
The blacksmith nodded: "Very well, I will begin enhancing now."
As the blacksmith’s golden hammer hit the ground, a flash of blood light rang!
——System Prompt: You successfully used the "Divine Punishment Crusade Demon Extermination Cross Glory Badge" to enhance the "Blazing Angel Battle Armor"! The Blazing Angel Battle Armor Life is additionally +5, you received Enhanced Blazing Angel Armor.
——Enhanced Blazing Angel Battle Armor: S-level strategic equipment, armor equipment position. Attack +10, Defense +30, Magic Power +10, Knowledge +10, Attack Speed +1, Move Speed +1, Damage +1, Life +6, Morale +1, Luck +1. Can be secondarily enhanced (proceed with caution).
+6 Life! Looking at this brand-new armor with a blood-red cross set in the front, Da Fei couldn’t help but be excited! What the heck! Just this one enhancement effect is equivalent to directly boosting the cannon fodder’s vitality by half to double!
At this moment, the blacksmith shook his head and laughed: "Warrior, I have a piece of bad news and a piece of good news for you!"
Da Fei couldn’t help but be surprised: "Please enlighten me, sir?"
The blacksmith laughed: "The bad news is, the Demon King may have consumed too much in battle, so its strength is slightly insufficient, and the effect of adding Life didn’t reach its peak. But the good news is, because this enhancement isn’t complete, the armor still hasn’t surpassed the grade of S-level equipment to become a Divine Artifact, so it still leaves warrior some room for secondary enhancement, and the success chance is slightly higher. Otherwise, if it became a Divine Artifact now, the success rate of the second enhancement wouldn’t be guaranteed."
What the heck! Can we not mention secondary enhancement? Can’t I just peacefully wear this armor for a lifetime?
Da Fei, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Thank you, sir!"
"Warrior, no need to be so polite. It is my greatest honor to serve a hero like you!"
Just as Da Fei was talking to the blacksmith, the first batch of players happily returned to the city. When they saw Da Fei in front of the plaza’s blacksmith shop, they couldn’t help but exclaim, "Da Fei! Da Fei has returned!"
Then the whole regional channel immediately buzzed with excitement. Of course, everyone knew that such a drastic reversal in the battle could only be related to Da Fei.
At that moment, Da Fei received a message—it had to be Napoleon again.
Napoleon asked with a smile, "My friend, I sincerely thank you for your support of our European Union Zone. Without you, we wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly."
Dang it! Cut the crap, hand over the Divine Artifact!
Da Fei chuckled and said, "Well, in the end, it’s because I was lucky to have managed the 33 Angels from our British friends that I was able to achieve such results. You deserve credit for that! Fortunately, none of these 33 Warriors died; otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain it. Please quickly take them back for our British friends."
Napoleon spat out a mouthful of old blood and laughed, "This is also you inheriting his legacy; it’s only right! I’m back!"
As they spoke, a mighty neigh echoed from outside the city gate. A stylish knight in silver armor, riding a tall armored warhorse, gallantly returned to the city! For a moment, the city walls were filled with Angels singing golden blessings over him, making him appear even more radiant and glorious.
No doubt, Napoleon was back.
Oh my! A Knight from the Human Race level 6! It seemed he didn’t have any Vice Heroes during the competition either. His leveling speed should be like riding a rocket. Why hasn’t he reached level 50 like me? Could it be he also had a Contract Angel slowing down his leveling speed?
Da Fei suddenly realized this French "friend" was not so simple. After all, as I improved, so did my perception of people.
Napoleon dismounted and greeted with a laugh, "My friend, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time!"
Da Fei opened the trade window directly and laughed, "I’m afraid it’s the British friends who have been waiting a long time!"
"Indeed, then let’s trade!"
In the trade window appeared a dull-gray piece of chest armor, the Bone Armor!
——Bone Armor: B-level strategic equipment, Magic Power +3, Dark Magic Effect +10%. Can combine with the Black Knight, Sword, Skeleton Helmet, and Undead Shield to form the Curse Armor.
No need for more words, trade!
——System Prompt: You successfully traded 8 Power Angels, 20 Blazing Angels, 3 Wisdom Angels, and 2 Power Angels with the French player Napoleon for the "Bone Armor"!
Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief, finally acquiring all components of the Curse Armor!
——Undead Shield: B-level strategic equipment, Defense +3, Dark Magic Effect +10%.
——Skeleton Helmet: B-level strategic equipment, Knowledge +3, Dark Magic Effect +10%.
——Black Knight Sword: B-level strategic treasure, Attack +3, Dark Magic Effect +10%.
——Curse Armor: Combined Divine Artifact, Attack Defense Magic Power Knowledge +3, Dark Magic Effect +40%. In combat, it automatically casts "Weakness Curse," "Delay Magic," and "Pain Torture" on the entire enemy army, ignoring spellcasting distance. Casting spells consumes the wearer’s mana, and spell effects relate to the hero’s magic skills.
This is the legendary leveling artifact Curse Armor that disgusts players to the point of vomiting!
The effects are self-explanatory; at the start of a battle, it immediately reduces the enemy’s attack, damage, and speed. The enemy’s priest can’t do anything else; they must dispel three times to clean it completely. No other Divine Artifact is more disgusting than the Curse Armor. If the enemy team has multiple dispelling priests, it might be less effective, but it’s unbeatable for leveling and monster hunting. Monsters usually don’t dispel magic; in actual player reviews, it’s considered a Super Divine Artifact!
Without a doubt, this set of Divine Artifacts is prepared for the Master-level Dark Magic Deirdre! I wonder how the Sea Soul Staff is doing after I’ve been abroad for nine days. For now, I only have one last wish left: to completely conquer Elda.
...
When Napoleon traded back all his troops, the British, who had been anxiously worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The European Union’s four major teams’ chat room erupted in sporadic applause.
Napoleon shook his head with a smile, "No matter what, although the cost was large, it’s good that the troops are back. As long as the troops are back, we can continue to snowball in the future!"
Lancelot also shook his head and sighed, "Thank you, dear partners, for your cooperation. From now on, we have a lot to discover, such as the secret of the Red-winged Angel and the secret of the Demon Race ships, etc. We believe that with the united power of our European Union Zone, we will definitely narrow the gap."
Einstein said with a wry smile, "Although I don’t know what cross-regional mission brought Da Fei here, after this battle is over, he should leave."
Everyone sang in resignation, "Let It Go! Let It Go!~~~"
