Chapter 412
After receiving a summons from the Elven Queen, William was brought back to the Snow Elf, Capital City.
Finally, he had the opportunity to assess his recent acquisitions.
"The ten-year-long, blood-soaked main quest has granted me an abundance of rewards. Even the seemingly insignificant side quests I randomly received turned out to be S Plus or even SS-ranked," mused William the Prince, seated comfortably on a fur-covered chair fashioned from a polar bear's hide. He carefully examined the rewards from these quests.
[Ding: Sidi's Revenge, Days and Nights of Bloody Battle - Completed]
[Ding: Advance Completion of SS-Level Tasks]
[Completion Rate: 120%]
[Experience Earned: 7.3 Million]
[Talent Acquired: 'Endlessly']
[You have obtained a Talent Upgrade Card]
[Note: If you kill 3513 Grandmasters using 5 Forbidden Spell Scrolls, the reward will be reduced by 80%, but you will gain 6 chances for a random lucky draw]
[Note: If you personally defeat 7 Legendary bosses, dealing more than 80% of the damage, you will gain 7 chances for a random lucky draw]
[Note: Since you have completed this task, the Demon Legion will no longer participate in the ten-year bloody battle, and you will receive 800000 merit Points]
"Lovely, incredible!"
"'Endlessly' talent?"
"This talent seems a bit excessive. At first glance, it appears to turn me into more of a tank," William pondered as he read the details.
[Talent: 'Endlessly' - Your sustained combat ability is enhanced. For every 10% reduction in Health Point, your base attack and defense increase by 10%, with a maximum increase of 50%.
Special Effect 'Immortal': When your Health Point drops below 20%, your Health Point regeneration speed increases by 500% for 30 seconds.
Cooldown: 5 minutes
Special Effect 'Endlessly': When your Health Point falls below 10%, your base attack power increases by an additional 300% until your Health Point surpasses 10%.
Cooldown: None.]
"It's like an immortal talent, and it's undeniably potent. The Health Point regeneration boost of 500% during a critical moment means a massive recovery rate. While the 5-minute cooldown is long, when facing a formidable foe, it essentially provides a substantial Health Point pool every five minutes."
"What's this? It's like wearing armor that activates every 5 minutes in a critical situation. The activation threshold is even lower than the cooldown of the Resurrection Armor," he contemplated.
The Resurrection Armor, after William's upgrade, had only a one-hour cooldown. Its lengthy cooldown was due to its ability to instantly restore 90% of his Health Point, equivalent to an additional 90000 Health Points.
Regarding 'Endlessly,' it granted a 300% increase in base attack power within a 10% Health Point range. William hesitated to describe it as potent.
"Attack power overload," he noted.
"In a world teeming with god-like beings, I wouldn't dare to unleash this power except when facing mere cannon fodder. However, against such adversaries, as long as I lose 50% of my Health Point and increase my defense by 50%, my defense exceeds 4500 Points when the Morale Shield is activated…"
"In other words, no one can harm me!"
"Unless I intentionally lose Health Point, this effect won't activate."
"But in any case, the 'Endlessly' talent is genuinely formidable."
"Indeed, talents are tailored to the type of quests completed. Each time, they seem to gravitate towards this tank-like ability, resembling a shield," sighed His Royal Highness in jest.
He had hoped to acquire some Ranger talents, but unfortunately, he found himself veering further and further down the path of a tank.
He rarely utilized bows and arrows, except during Holy Soul Raids. The sheer satisfaction of pummeling opponents with his fists was unparalleled, and its endurance and raw power overshadowed the appeal of ranged attacks.
"Ranger? What's that? I'm a Ranger with fists. Do you have a problem with that?" William rhetorically asked himself.
In addition to the 'Endlessly' talent, the Dragon Blood Corps had also earned an army buff due to their numerous victories. The name of this buff comprised just two words: "Magic Soldier."
As William prepared to inspect the army's buff, a notification chimed in.
[Ding]
[Ding: Your Majesty's Dragon Blood Legion has successfully activated the 'Top Dragon' and 'Divine Soldier' double-top army buffs, which can be fused.]
[Ding: Yes or No]
"Yes," William responded promptly. The notion of merging two top-tier legion buffs was astonishing.
However, the Life Chain was not included in this process. It wasn't an orthodox legion buff but rather a secret skill.
[Ding]
[Ding: Your Legion has gained a new legion buff, 'Dragon Slayer.']
[Dragon Slayer Legion Buff]
[Buff Limit: Effective within 100000 meters of the Commander's Banner]
[All attributes of Legion members Plus 80%, maximum Health Point Plus 80%]
[Attack Power Plus 100%]
[Defense Plus 60%]
[Movement Speed Plus 40%]
[Defense against all elements Plus 30%]
[Dragon Slaying Special Effect: When facing any dragon or dragon-like creature, damage is increased by 80%]
[Dragon's Might Special Effect: When facing any Beast or beast-like creature, Dragon's Might is generated, forcibly reducing the creature's attack power by 30% and even deterring it from approaching.]
[General's Special Effect: For any intelligent creature legion, morale increases by 10 Points, enemy legion morale decreases by 10 Points, and there is a 30% chance of causing the enemy to flee without fighting prior to battle.]
[Dragon Transformation Special Effect: When all Legion members activate Dragon Transformation, the entire army's morale increases by 30 Points, a holy dragon shadow appears above their heads, and both the Legion's defense and attack power receive a 20% boost.
Duration: Ends when more than 50% of the Legion members exit Dragon Transformation.]
[Dragon Slayer Joint Attack Skill (Active): Summons a 300–meter-high illusionary image to deal a super-ranged attack of 30000 Plus (average member level x 300%) damage to enemies within 50000 meters.
Cooldown: 48 hours
Consumption: 30% of the combat value of all Legion members
This skill will automatically level up as the ranks of the Legion members increase.]
"What more can be said when seeing this talent?" William mused.
"Let's put it this way: even an individual with Grandmaster Level strength like me would find it challenging to overcome this Legion."
"Combined with the peculiar Life Chain ability, even a Grandmaster can't slay a single soldier."
"But there's a catch."
"If I were an enemy or an Epic Level powerhouse, I could simply charge into the Legion, capture a few members, and retreat to kill them from a distance!"
"That's because the Legion's Life Chain and Buff lose their effectiveness if the members stray too far from the Commander's Banner for an extended period."
"Therefore, it's crucial for the Commander and Deputy Commander to become Epic Level powerhouses, as that would render the Legion invulnerable," William contemplated.
"Currently, I'm still far from reaching epic status."
"Heck
, I don't even have the Legendary Bloodline like Albert."
William then shifted his attention to his 'Legendary Lord' talent, a source of great satisfaction. With this talent, he could impart aura buffs to the Dragon Blood Legion, and not just to them, but to all the Professionals of Dawn City as well.
Next up were his rewards from drawing.
His luck value had now reset to 1!
For an entire year, the Goddess of Luck had been bested in her battle against the Goddess of Doom, and it had been quite the dismal defeat.
Even if the Goddess of Luck had emerged victorious, her luck value seemed to hover around 2, still lower than her original value of 3.
With bated breath, he selected a Talent Upgrade Card.
He decided to first attempt upgrading his 'Handsome' talent, though it appeared to be unavailable for upgrading at the moment. After all, he was already considered extremely handsome, virtually unparalleled in his perfect appearance.
However, when he reviewed all of his talents, he noticed that one of them was eligible for an upgrade.
This development left him feeling somewhat perplexed.
Currently, William boasted 11 talents: 'Handsome,' 'Master of Life,' 'Master of Magic,' 'Thunderous Body - Variation,' 'Guardian of the Holy Soul,' 'Intermediate Flight Skill,' 'Indomitable Body,' 'True Sight,' 'Heart of Justice,' 'Endlessly,' and 'Legendary Lord.'
"Well, it seems like one of these 11 talents has an odd element to it, much like a black sheep in a herd of white ones," the Prince mused, scratching his head. He opted to retain the Talent Upgrade Card for now, reserving its use for when he finally reached epic status, at which Point he would choose a talent to upgrade.
At present, his primary objective was to pay a visit to Annie, pat her thigh affectionately, and engage in 15 rounds of random draws.
Something felt off.
He currently possessed 15 random draw opportunities.
It was akin to trying his luck to see what items or rewards he could obtain…
