Part 2: The Dust of History Chapter 455: Lich's Mercy
…
"Warning: The Black Crystal World is undergoing self-repair. In its current state, the Black Crystal Will's emotions tend to be painful and furious. Please stay where you are and don't move..."
…
“Good fellow…”
"Did the whole world almost get split apart?"
Silently watching the 'space' falling around like broken glass.
Roger felt somewhat guilty.
As the official user of the Great Dimension Slash.
His special mission is actually the product of the favor of the Black Crystal Will.
What he is worried about now is.
These three strikes of his sword almost shattered the black crystal world.
The Black Crystal Will wouldn't fail to reward me for the mission, right?
Fortunately, he stayed there for a long time.
No one felt any sign that Black Crystal's will was about to turn against them.
Roger calmed down a little.
Look around.
The Gods’ Duel Arena had long since disappeared.
The dark ruins of the ancient steel dragon have also become a fragmented 'puzzle pile'.
There were large patches of darkness around Roger.
In that darkness.
There are countless terrifying creatures and time-space vortexes active there.
in this case.
Roger could only stand there motionless!
Only after the black crystal world completes its self-repair.
Only then will he be able to find a way out!
After calming down.
I'm idle too.
Roger continued to count the spoils.
The first is the information of the newly loaded vehicle.
…
"Wisp (2D version/upgraded vehicle)"
…
Movement speed: 10
…
"Barrier Index: 30"
…
"Collision Damage: 4"
…
"Stunt 1: Climbing mountains and crossing rivers"
"Climbing mountains and crossing hills: In this mode, the Will-O-Wisp will have extremely strong off-road capabilities. As long as the speed is high enough, you can even climb at a 90-degree angle to the ground.
It can also travel upside down on the ceiling.
…
"Stunt 2: Lightning Speed"
"Lightning Speed: In this mode, the will-o'-the-wisp will charge at full speed, crushing the 64 squares in front of it back and forth at the fastest speed (at least 3 times)"
"Cooling time: 240 seconds"
…
"Stunt 3: Motorcycle Station"
"Motorcycle Station: In non-vehicle mode, the Will-O-Wisp can be disassembled into a simple safe house.
You can rest in the safe house.
The character's barrier index can also be restored in the safe house.
…
Barrier index recovery speed: 1 point/1 minute"
…
"Note: In vehicle mode, you can only use your primary weapon to fight."
…
“That’s quite impressive!”
Read the attribute description of the will-o'-the-wisp.
Roger's eyes lit up.
Today's will-o'-the-wisp has a barrier index of up to 40 points!
Riding it on the road is more effective than having 4 fortresses on board!
What's even more outrageous is.
You can even throw marbles while riding this thing!
Roger's own movement speed was not slow to begin with.
After riding on the will-o'-the-wisp, he left the others far behind.
This will be very helpful for any possible tug-of-war that may occur in the future!
Not to mention the powerful AOE "Lightning Speed" and safe house functions that come with the will-o'-the-wisp.
The former can quickly clear small monsters.
The latter can serve as a backup facility to provide Roger with the best endurance guarantee.
It's a fight.
How is it possible not to lose blood?
Even a master like Roger, who is so skillful and quick in movement, cannot avoid encountering some bumps and bruises.
At this time.
The effect of restoring the barrier index of the locomotive station is very important!
all in all.
This new will-o'-the-wisp perfectly meets Roger's needs in navigating the two-dimensional world.
And its appearance is also very cool.
Black metal casing.
Phantom blue flame special effect.
Magnetic and powerful engine sound.
If it weren't for the broken space all around.
Roger really wants to ride it for a spin now!
…
There are new will-o'-the-wisp.
Naturally, Roger had no interest in the "Deep Blue Nightmare" with strange requests.
After casually stuffing it into the tinder bag.
He looked at another trophy he had obtained from Quentin!
That's a huge cannon!
…
"Portable self-priming storm cannon (cannon/secondary weapon)"
…
“Instructions: Release as you go.
It can be placed anywhere there is air.
It can be fired 10 seconds after being placed.
When the game starts, a one-time storm cannon attack will be carried out on the 128-square straight line area in front of it.
Storm Cannon damage depends on distance and impact falloff.
Basic value: 6~12"
…
"Cooling time: 18 seconds"
…
This is a very rare weapon.
What makes it rare is not only that it is a weapon suitable for the two-dimensional world.
What’s more, it is a pure “secondary weapon”!
This means.
The Storm Cannon does not affect the Gambler's Roulette's primary weapon slot.
Roger placed it behind the long-vacant secondary weapon slot.
In the two-dimensional world, firing a shot at the slightest disagreement becomes a backup option.
This thing is not only simple and crude, but also has high damage.
The greater advantage is that it is economical.
There is absolutely no need for gunpowder or other energy supply.
Just air is enough.
This type of props.
Naturally, Roger's favorite.
"With the new will-o'-the-wisp and storm cannon..."
"From now on, my efficiency in clearing small monsters won't be much worse than that of the elves."
Roger pondered to himself.
in this case.
The "Elf Summoning Flow" construction has lost another competitive element.
If the second character card hadn't been activated yet.
Roger should consider changing his build now!
…
that's all.
In the darkness and silence all around him, Roger took inventory of Quentin's assets.
If he was surprised at first.
Later on.
Roger became completely numb.
The reason is very simple -
Quentin is so rich!
The initial explosive psychology has passed.
Later, all that remained was the numb act of counting.
Roger himself couldn't remember how many good things Quentin had given him.
He could only glance over it hastily.
Simply categorize the good stuff inside.
I want to find out where every prop comes from.
He may need to take a long inventory -
This process definitely took more than a week.
He obviously doesn't have that much time now.
This task can only be handed over to Cindy and the resident demons in the hidden world.
The inventory plan of Quentin's wealth was barely finalized.
Roger turned his attention to the items that exploded after the ancient steel dragon died.
After the forbidden spell of destruction came.
The ancient steel dragon died instantly.
A dozen loot chests appeared beneath his body.
At that time, Roger just put it away quickly.
Now I have time to savor it.
Different props than Quentin’s.
The items given by the Ancient Steel Dragon are all serious props.
This is exactly what Roger needs now.
After a rough screening.
He selected four entry props from them.
They are as follows:
…
"Mechanical Dragon Egg (Steel Dragon Mountain/Dragon Tribe): When you enter a new room, a dragon egg will appear next to you. You can wait for the dragon egg to hatch on its own (it takes a long time);
You can also speed up the hatching of dragon eggs by killing monsters in the room;
…
After hatching is complete.
You will get a mechanical dragon.
Mechanical dragonets have the ability to fight in coordination and the potential to increase their levels and realms by gaining XP during combat.
…
Note: You can have up to 4 dragons hatched from mechanical dragon eggs.
Only when one of the dragons dies.
This item will become effective again.
…
"Doom Banner (Magic/Encouragement): In combat, the movement speed of enemy units within 12 squares around you will be reduced by 40%"
…
"Lance of Judgment (Heaven/Inspiration) (Gold): When any of the terms of Lance of Judgment is triggered, the other term will also take effect."
…
「Lich's Mercy (Magic/Lake Country/Abyss) (Gold): After wearing this item.
After your character dies, he will become a 'lich'.
You can restore to human form by accumulating a certain amount of kills.
You can also maintain the state of a lich.
…
In lich state.
All your normal attacks become 'Negative Energy Tentacles'.
A 'Frost Ring' of varying sizes will randomly erupt around you.
The enemies you kill will have a certain chance to become your 'corpse servants'.
There is no upper limit to the number of corpse servants.
…
Note : The barrier index and life index of the lich are both 1/3 of the normal character form.
…
Overall.
The attributes of these four items are all excellent.
Except for the relatively ordinary terms and effects of "Mechanical Dragon Egg".
The other three props are all small top-grade items.
certainly.
Mechanical dragon eggs also have their own advantages.
During the adventure in the two-dimensional world.
It is inevitable that you will encounter some areas where you may need cannon fodder to explore the way.
At this time.
Mechanical dragons that are 'renewable' in a sense would come in handy.
What's more.
It is impossible for Roger's second character card to have a Pokémon.
If you put a mechanical dragon egg in the flexible position.
It can completely make up for the lack of followers.
in addition.
Before the second character card is activated.
Roger can stockpile twice as many items as a normal inventory.
therefore.
He also kept the mechanical dragon egg as a backup option.
…
There is no need to explain the remaining three.
The "Banner of Doom" has the excellent property of slowing down the enemy.
Add the term "encouragement".
Naturally, he was valued by Roger.
The "Spear of Judgment" not only has the dual attributes of "Heaven/Inspiration".
Its special effects are even more amazing!
According to the description of this prop.
As long as one of the effects of "Heaven" and "Inspiration" is triggered.
Then the other one will definitely be triggered!
This means that the high attack speed of Heaven and the 100% critical strike effect of Inspiration will be fully integrated.
It can also greatly increase the triggering frequency of entries.
Roger saw it first.
Just prepare to use it as the core of the "Inspiration Flow" construction!
…
The final "Lich's Mercy" is also quite unique.
From the entry point of view.
Like the Mechanical Dragon Egg, it has a hard time competing against items with the Inspire attribute.
But its effect made Roger's eyes light up.
The feature of "resurrecting as a lich after death" provides a certain degree of tolerance.
The lich can restore its human body through killing, which in turn prolongs its life index and barrier index.
Not to mention that the Lich itself has a series of skills and special effects.
Although Roger doesn't know the quality of the negative energy tentacles, frost rings and corpse servants yet.
But after seeing the word "unlimited".
The DNA in Roger's body couldn't help but move!
This time.
He did not choose to include it as a backup option for the second character card.
Instead, it was used directly on the first character card!
…
"Hint: Do you want to use 'Lich's Mercy' to replace the 'Angel's Armor (Heaven/Bulwark)' you are wearing in the item list?"
…
"Successful replacement! The lich's mercy is taking effect..."
…
“Done!”
In the dark.
Roger rubbed his hands together excitedly.
For him.
Angel's armor is actually useless.
But he hasn't replaced the props on the first mission card for a long time.
When the remaining eight elves cannot move.
This thing became the first target for replacement.
After equipping "Lich's Mercy".
Roger's tolerance rate has now been slightly improved.
By the way, you will also have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a lich.
He still had a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
…
After screening the entry items left by the ancient steel dragon.
Roger fell into a brief period of time when he had nothing to do.
He can see.
The dark ruins in the distance are gradually being repaired.
But there is still a long distance to my own position.
The space around him was still a mess, like broken glass.
This made Roger sigh at the power of the divine skills!
"Olmado..."
"I didn't really hack him to death, did I?"
Feeling the chaos and fragmented space around me.
This thought suddenly popped up in Roger's mind.
But at this moment.
A dark red light faintly appeared under his feet.
Roger took a closer look.
It was an invitation letter that came from nowhere!
…
"Hint: You have received an invitation letter from the Red Valley Knights."
…
"Deciphered, you got a coordinate (Ancient Continent)"
…
"Red Valley Alchemist?"
Roger was slightly stunned.
But it clearly says "Knights"! ?
The invitation was also signed "Captain Occam".
Rather than the name of a certain alchemist as Roger had expected.
But no matter what.
Roger was still very interested in the coordinates provided by the descendants of Honggu.
He knew that this invitation was most likely left by the person in the audience who had made eye contact with him.
However, the coordinates pointed to the depths of the Ancient Continent rather than the Black Crystal World.
This is very interesting.
"Although Quentin also came to the Black Crystal World and wanted to go to the top level, he did not explicitly say that the descendants of the Red Valley were at the top level..."
Roger thought quickly:
"Perhaps the place where the descendants of the Red Valley are located can only be entered through the top layer of the Black Crystal World..."
"Since we have given you an invitation, at least it appears to be a gesture of goodwill."
“I’ll go there if I have a chance!”
Thoughts fall.
He was just about to put the invitation away.
But the next second.
He suddenly turned the invitation over.
But a crystal clear crystal was found behind the invitation!
Roger held it in his palm.
At this moment.
A large number of meaningless codes composed of numbers and letters appeared in his field of vision!
This was the first time Roger had encountered such a situation since he traveled through time.
Fortunately, it was very quick.
The flood of codes that flooded the screen stopped.
Instead, there are lines of prompts.
…
"Hint: You have obtained 1 'El Lens'"
…
"Do you want to consume the 'El Lens' and go to the 'Game Console (Dark Crystal World)'?"
…
"Huh?"
Roger's face showed an expression of surprise and joy!
…
