Chapter 84: Thunder Spear
Two golden rays flashed by, and finally reached level 21!
Star Cat directly leveled up to level 20.
System Notification: Your pet ‘Star Cat’ has grown to ‘Youth Stage’.
System Notification: Your pet ‘Star Cat’ has learned a new skill ‘Ice Breath’.
As the notifications popped up, the body of Star Cat continued to change.
Originally the size of an arm, the Ice Frost Tiger suddenly expanded, its strength surged dramatically, and in an instant, it reached half the size of an adult.
Its cute fangs transformed into sharp tusks, its determined face shed its youthful innocence, and now Star Cat held a king-of-the-mountain demeanor.
Checking the panel again.
Ice Frost Tiger (Youth Stage):
Rarity: Gold Grade
Level: 20
Health: 9900
Physical Attack Power: 330-390
Magical Attack Power: 210-240
Physical Defense: 150
Magical Defense: 120
Skills: Ice Cone, Frost Claw, Ice Breath.
Health is nearing 10,000! Both attack values have reached several hundred, and its defense is significantly higher than ordinary players, with three skills now.
Star Cat’s magical defense is as high as 120, during this early stage when magical defense gear is scarce, having it around makes the Thunder Cannon practically a non-issue!
At this moment, the power of Star Cat as a gold-grade pet truly began to manifest.
However, just a few seconds later, another system notification popped up.
System Notification: Warning! The Demon Man’s Secret Realm is about to collapse, please leave immediately!
System Notification: Warning! The Demon Man’s Secret Realm is about to collapse, please leave immediately!
System Notification: Warning! The Demon Man’s Secret Realm is about to collapse, please leave immediately!
Collapse!?
Wasn’t self-detonation already prevented? Why is this happening?
There was no time for Zane to think, as the entire secret realm began to shake violently, resembling a catastrophic earthquake!
At least grab the loot first!
Starry quickly scooped up the loot, there were still tens of gold coins that they didn’t have time to collect, and the ceiling was crashing down in pieces. If they didn’t run now, it would be too late!
Zane reluctantly crushed a return scroll, and just before the secret realm was completely destroyed, he vanished from the spot.
Whoosh—
A chilling wind blew through from nowhere, completely disintegrating the body of the Demon Stone Statue King, and stone fragments scattered everywhere.
However, the core that originally existed within the statue was nowhere to be found.
“Taken away?” A vague, ethereal voice echoed in this collapsing secret realm, with a tone that showed traces of surprise and anger.
…
“Phew,” upon seeing the familiar street, Zane finally felt relieved. If they had been any later, his life would have been lost, and he would have to return to level 20.
“Brother Zane, Miss Starry!” Ming called excitedly from behind.
They had been expelled from the battle under the Thunder Cannon long ago, and now seeing the two was a great joy, as both of them were level 21!
What does this mean? Just the two of them… no, strictly speaking, Starry single-handedly took down a level 25 silver-grade boss!
So terrifying! Someone like that.
However, in the midst of the chaos, it seemed he also heard the voice of a little girl. Was it an illusion?
“You’re just in time,” Zane turned around and saw their friends.
“After we finished the boss, the secret realm collapsed. Time was tight, so we only grabbed what we could see, and I’m not sure if we left any gear behind,” Zane said regretfully. “Now that everyone is here, let’s divide the gear. We agreed that we would each take one item first and then distribute as needed.”
“…” Ming shook his head. “No, we can say we played no role in this boss fight… I haven’t become thick-skinned enough to claim anyone else’s loot.” Though unwilling, the fact remained that they were of no use in front of that powerful statue.
“You’re mistaken. Without the coordinates you provided, we wouldn’t have had the chance to challenge the boss at all. Moreover, without the intelligence you risked your lives for, we probably would have been wiped out before even attempting the strategy.”
Without prior precautions, Starry would have undoubtedly died when that laser came out, and the Wishcaster alone was clearly insufficient to take on this boss, as he would have run out of health without recovery skills.
Thus, Ming’s help was essential. Zane had no intention of changing the agreed-upon loot distribution; doing so would only leave him feeling uneasy.
“There’s nothing to argue about. You’ve helped me before; there’s no need to be so polite.” Zane said earnestly.
“…” Ming seemed surprised by his sense of loyalty. “Alright, just for that, Ming will always be your solid ally from now on!”
“That’s perfect.” Starry smiled lightly, and Ming stared at her, captivated.
“Ahem!” Zane coughed, “No more small talk; let’s split the loot!”
Starry looked at the few extra pieces of equipment in her bag, starting with a fiery red robe that appeared to be for mages.
Magic Cloak:
Rarity: Silver Tier
Required Level: 25
Health: 350
Physical Defense: 25
Magical Defense: 49
Magical Attack Power: 50
Intelligence: 47
Spirit: 45
Stamina: 20
Special Skill: Magic Amplification: After use, the next magic attack effect becomes 200%, cooldown time 1 minute.
Description: This cloak was once a partner of Grand Mage Lirika, soaked in magical power through daily encounters.
A magic cloak? Clearly a piece of gear tailor-made for mages. Putting aside the high attribute bonuses, the magic amplification special skill alone justifies its silver-tier name.
Imagine a mage wearing this cloak unleashing a Fire Burst with magic amplification. Who could stop it? Moreover, after level 20, new skills could be learned, perhaps even surpassing the multiplier of Fire Burst!
And the cooldown time is only a short minute, meaning it can be used to drag out cooldowns for a powerful counterattack!
Although this gear is very suitable for Zane, he chose to watch for now because to others, he was just a bystander. What use was mage gear to him?
The next item was a tall and imposing black spear.
Thunder Spear:
Rarity: Silver Tier
Required Level: 25
Physical Attack Power: 123-145
Strength: 53
Agility: 37
Spirit: 24
Stamina: 30
Special Skill: Thunder Cannon; after use, it deals 250% damage to all enemies within a 5*5 area, 1 yard in front of the user, with a 50% chance to induce a ‘Paralyzed’ state, cooldown time 12 hours.
Description: A spear infused with thunderous power.
Thunder Cannon!!
Goodness, the boss’s signature move just dropped! Zane was almost petrified; he understood the power of this skill clearly. If they were even a moment slow, Starry could have been instantly killed!
Although the war spear is not a conventional weapon, both swordsmen and knights can use it, meaning Starry can also wield this! Compared to the boss’s original skill, this one is clearly a simplified version, but it wouldn’t stop Starry from keeping this weapon in her bag as a hidden trump card!
At this stage, the available special skill equipment is very limited, and having a Thunder Cannon is absolutely enough!
