'Iron Maiden', this is the name for a Platinum-level boss.
Its actual name is 'Steel Saintess'.
This is a terrifying boss that left a deep impression on all the players in Jianghai City in the previous life!
The difficulty of defeating it was actually similar to that of the 'Soul-Purifier · Faisal'.
However, since the battle took place in a public area, there were a particularly large number of players competing for the boss.
In the previous life, it took half a day for players to finally take down this boss.
Of course, Qin Feng had already quietly defeated the Soul-Purifier at that time, so he didn't participate in the siege of the 'Steel Saintess'.
The other players in Jianghai City died thousands of times in total because of this boss!
A few were killed by the boss.
Most were killed by other players.
Because, after defeating the Steel Saintess, players would obtain a hiding place called the 'Church Sanctuary'!
"If I remember correctly, quite a few people should have established guilds by now."
"However, in the previous life, the Iron Maiden was opened on the third day..."
Qin Feng looked from a distance.
He saw a ten-meter-tall steel female statue standing in the ruins. Since the distance was too far, he couldn't see its lower body for the time being...
As for its upper body, it was completely made of poured steel. Its hands didn't have fingers but two sharp iron flywheels filled with killing intent.
On the female face formed by steel, there was a strange and cruel smile, and this smile seemed as if it would never change...
There were two flamethrower devices on its chest. Of course, using fire was a skill that the 'Steel Saintess' would only use in its second stage.
"Since someone has summoned it, I'll take this boss."
The corner of Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately changed direction, riding the Ghost Night Wolf and galloping towards the location of the Steel Saintess at the fastest speed!
Along the way, Qin Feng didn't idle around either.
He directly opened the skill interface and began to evolve skills.
This time, after clearing the colosseum ruins, Qin Feng casually killed two Gold-level bosses on the way.
Among them, one boss dropped a pretty good Gold-level skill book for him.
Qin Feng directly consumed 11 evolution points to evolve this skill to the epic level:
——
[Quiet Concealment (Gold → Platinum → Emerald → Diamond → Epic)]: Enter the invisible state on the spot. As long as you don't launch an attack or move, you will be permanently in the invisible state. If you launch an attack, an additional 300 → 400 → 500 → 600 → 800 points of damage when breaking stealth will be added! Cooldown: 120 → 110 → 100 → 80 → 60 (38.7) seconds. Required level: 13
——
This was another stealth skill.
The difference was that with this stealth skill, you couldn't move while being invisible.
As long as you didn't move, you would be permanently invisible!
With this skill, it meant that Qin Feng had one more way to burst out damage.
When fighting a boss, he could launch an attack while in the invisible state first, then release 'Quiet Concealment', and immediately launch the next attack to deal the 800 points of damage when breaking stealth.
You should know that after various bonuses were added to this additional 800 points of damage when breaking stealth, the final damage would be two to three thousand!
The only drawback was that the cooldown time of this skill was a bit long.
"However, this skill is invincible in the real world..."
"Activate it when entering the game. As long as I don't quit the game, I'll always be in the invisible state!"
Combined with the fact that his body in the real world was in an 'unselectable' state when entering the game.
This meant that...
With this skill, in the future, as long as Qin Feng entered the game, it would be as if he had disappeared in the real world!
He would completely cease to exist in this world!
Besides 'Quiet Concealment', Qin Feng also obtained several low-grade assassin skill books.
However, only one skill book called 'Kick (Can interrupt the target's spellcasting)' was slightly useful, and the other skills were basically useless.
Of course, Qin Feng learned them all. Skills like these could be evolved to the epic level and then devoured by the Soul-Eater bloodline after he obtained it, providing stronger bloodline attributes...
After evolving 'Quiet Concealment', Qin Feng also evolved two other skills.
——
[Poison Dart (Emerald → Diamond → Epic)]: The maximum range is 17 → 18 → 20 meters. When hitting the target, an additional 240 → 300 → 400 points of attack damage will be added, and the 'Poison' status will be attached.
[Poison: Causes 80% → 90% → 100% of continuous damage per second, without weak point bonus, lasts for 5 seconds, and cannot be stacked.]
——
The Poison Dart was evolved to the epic level, consuming 34 evolution points.
Finally, he consumed 200 evolution points to evolve the originally Legendary-level 'Graceful Liberation' to the Mythical level!
——
[Graceful Liberation (Legend → Myth)]: Weak point attack correction +200% → 300%, weak point attack multiplier doubled. Level 5
[Active use: Make your next attack cause the 'Throat Slit' effect, causing 150% → 200% of the damage of this attack per second for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 25 (22.2) seconds → 15 (9.7) seconds.]
——
When this skill reached the Mythical level...
Although it seemed that there wasn't much change.
Qin Feng knew that this skill had finally undergone a transformation!
With this 300% weak point attack correction, for Qin Feng, except for some special monsters... Whoever he looked at would be all weak points!
Taking players as an example, their weak points were the heart and the head.
Once expanded by 300%, it would directly cover their whole body!
Originally, Qin Feng's 'Instant Shadow Slash' skill didn't take advantage of weak points.
But because the weak points were magnified to four times the original...
No matter where he hit, it would be a weak point!
When the 'Graceful Liberation' was at the Legendary level, on average, Qin Feng's Instant Shadow Slash had a one-third probability of hitting the target's weak point.
The position of this slash was beyond his control, so it could only be calculated by the system based on random probability.
But now, with the Mythical-level Graceful Liberation!
At least eight out of nine slashes of his Instant Shadow Slash would be weak point damage!
This was a qualitative change!
After evolving Graceful Liberation, Qin Feng had 10 evolution points left and didn't use them for the time being.
Then he checked his equipment.
First was a bone necklace he was wearing around his neck.
——
[Trickster Pendant (Platinum)]: Assassin-type accessory. Physical Attack Power + 45, Strength + 20, Constitution + 20. Equipment Requirement: Level 13
[Unique Special Effect: +1 Stealth Level.]
——
After putting on this necklace, Qin Feng had to take off the 'Believer's Pendant'.
However, the Believer's Pendant was a summoning equipment.
When needed, he could change it back by equipping and summoning it again. When taking off the 'Believer's Pendant', the already summoned Devout Believer wouldn't disappear.
The special effect of this Trickster Pendant directly added 1 level of stealth level for Qin Feng.
Making his stealth level reach Level 4!
"The skill itself has a 1-level stealth level, this Trickster Pendant adds 1 level, and the Shadow profession adds 2 levels, totaling 4 levels of stealth level!"
However, the drawback was that this Trickster Pendant didn't add any cooldown speed.
After taking off the Believer's Pendant that added 20% cooldown speed, Qin Feng's cooldown speed decreased a bit... but it didn't have much impact.
Comparatively speaking, the 1-level stealth level was definitely more important. Moreover, the physical attack power and strength added by this necklace would increase the damage.
There was also another piece of equipment, which was for the helmet part.
