Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

【King’s Counter】

Type: Rune Stone

Quality: Epic

Passive increase in Defense +30

Passive increase in Magic Defense +100

Overview: When embedded in armor, grants the God’s Counter passive. When attacked, applies a counter effect, inflicting 100 points of armor penetration on the attacker for 1 second.

King’s Counter is actually a weakened version of the Knife-wielding Snake King’s counter talent.

The Snake King’s counter was 200 points of armor, while this rune stone only has half the effect.

However, better than the counter skill is that it also passively increases both defenses.

Especially the 100 points added to magic defense, which can make his weakness smaller and smaller.

The only issue is that he seems to have no more slots for embedding.

He now has many gems, as A Silly Cutie had helped him pick up quite a few in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land.

He hadn’t had time to look at those gems.

Jiang Cheng had to admit, A Silly Cutie was quite thoughtful for him.

Next, Jiang Cheng didn’t immediately enhance his bones, but instead looked at the other equipment dropped by the Knife-wielding Snake King.

“This set…”

After looking at this legendary Moon set, Jiang Cheng was a bit speechless.

The attributes were too powerful!

Although legendary equipment usually has 2-5 special properties, the Moon set only had one property each, which could be considered quite poor.

But these properties were all incredibly powerful.

Triggering on being attacked, reducing the opponent’s movement speed, attack speed, casting speed, life recovery, mana recovery, potion recovery effect, and increasing damage to the opponent…

Even without Magic Moon and Blood Moon, this set was already extremely premium.

If Magic Moon and Blood Moon were added, who knows what effects they might have.

Wearing this set, if your magic attack is strong enough, the opponent might die just as their attack lands on you.

Once the series of debuffs are applied, the person wearing this set might become more energetic as the fight goes on, while the opponent might be cursing.

It can be worn at level 50, and A Silly Cutie is now level 47, only one level lower than him.

Three more levels and she can wear it.

At that time, one can imagine the expression of her opponents.

The other equipment wasn’t anything special, all legendary gear. Jiang Cheng was already accustomed to it and didn’t feel much excitement. Legendary equipment could hardly elicit any reaction from him anymore.

[Successfully learned Volcano’s Roar.]

【Volcano’s Roar】

Quality: Legendary

Level: 1

Type: Active Skill

Magic Attack +150 points

Overview: Consumes 3000 mana, triggers a volcanic eruption in a designated 100-meter range, dealing 300% magic damage to enemies in the area. Cooldown time 3 hours.

After learning it, Jiang Cheng didn’t immediately evolve.

Because although this skill has a large range, it consumes too much mana, has an extremely long cooldown, and requires quite a few enhancement points.

It doesn’t offer much improvement for him.

Jiang Cheng didn’t plan to evolve right away.

Moreover, his evolution points had just reached 40.08 million, enough to evolve to the next stage.

“Let’s go, Meng Meng. I need to find a place to evolve. After I evolve, we’ll do some dungeons, level up, and clear out the Skeleton Kingdom around Luoyun City.”

“Boom!”

A thunderous roar exploded.

Lightning Steed appeared in everyone’s view, carrying A Silly Cutie away amidst the exclamations of the crowd, leaving behind a group of astonished players.

“Damn, this spirit horse is quite powerful.”

“This must be an epic mount, right?”

“Hard to say, looking at the flowing light and special effects, it’s probably at least legendary level. Black Skeleton is too amazing, getting such a mount.”

“But, they’ve killed two World Bosses in a row. They’ve really stolen the spotlight this time. And the Temple, after this blow, is probably going to fall from grace.”

“Wonder if anyone can control him now.”

…

Holy Light Church.

The Yellow-robed High Priest, who was enjoying being bathed and dressed by maids, was interrupted by a panicked follower.

“High Priest, the mount of the Demon Lord of Greed has appeared in the mortal realm, surrounded by rangers. Its fate is unknown!”

“What?!” The Yellow-robed High Priest, who was about to rebuke the follower, immediately suppressed his anger and became anxious.

These followers were brought from Hell by him and would never report false information like this.

The Demon Lord of Greed had four great mounts: three hellhounds, the Grim Elbone, the Dragon of Original Sin, and the Beast of Ill-fated Magic Blood.

These were all the Demon Lord of Greed’s favorite mounts. Even when not riding, he would bring them along when traveling.

If any one of them dies in the mortal realm, the mortal world would be in trouble!

He wasn’t worried about the mortal world suffering, after all, he came here to infiltrate and prepare to disrupt the situation.

But the Demon Lord of Greed had an extremely arrogant personality.

If he found out his mount was killed, what then?!

“Where is the Lord’s mount?”

“In Azure Dragon City. There are hundreds of thousands of rangers there, the Lord’s mount might not hold out.”

“Issue a task to the priest rangers of the church in all major cities: killing any ranger in Azure Dragon City will earn the church’s Light of Glory. The first to kill will be rewarded with a bottle of holy water.”

“Yes, sir.”

Upon receiving the response, the follower’s panic subsided considerably, and he hurried off to issue the task.

“It seems these rangers are always a hidden danger.” The Yellow-robed High Priest’s face became slightly solemn.

“After we capture that undead, it’s time to clean up these rangers as well.”
