Chapter 69: Chapter69-Gravity Black Hole!

John suddenly stopped moving.

A God-Rank Affix!

He immediately opened its description.

[Plunder]

[Rank: God.]

[Type: Weapon-Exclusive Affix.]

[Effect: When you personally kill a Boss using this weapon, you have a 30% chance to permanently plunder one of the target’s talents!]

[Talents obtained through Plunder will directly merge with the player and will not occupy an equipment slot.]

[This Affix has no cooldown!]

John’s eyes grew increasingly bright.

A thirty-percent chance!

It might appear to be less than half.

However, almost none of the Bosses John had encountered possessed only a single talent.

Some talents were simple and straightforward.

Maximum HP increased by 50%.

Physical Attack increased by 100%.

HP became locked when receiving lethal damage.

Other talents were the true foundations of a Boss’s strength.

For example, Selena’s [Nightfall Deflection], which greatly reduced projectile damage while she was moving at high speed.

Successfully plundering any one of those talents would bring John an extremely noticeable improvement.

More importantly, [Plunder] did not have a twenty-four-hour cooldown.

As long as there were enough Bosses, John could easily kill hundreds of them in a single day.

With even remotely normal luck, he would be able to plunder large numbers of talents.

Even if he succeeded only once for every three Bosses on average—

Killing three hundred Bosses could potentially grant him more than a hundred talents!

"Now this is what I call snowballing."

Without hesitation, John embedded [Plunder] into the Void Staff in his hands.

[The Void Staff has obtained the God-Rank Affix: Plunder!]

[When this weapon kills a Boss, it will have a 30% chance to plunder one of the target’s talents!]

Another milestone reward appeared immediately afterward.

[Congratulations! You have reached Lv30!]

[You have obtained the Special Milestone Reward: SSS-Rank Weapon Fusion Stone ×1!]

A crystal wrapped in rainbow-colored light fell into the Void Arsenal.

A second Weapon Fusion Stone!

John looked thoughtfully at the crystal in his hand.

The first Weapon Fusion Stone had allowed him to fuse the Novice Club with Irene’s Fire Crystal Staff, creating the current Void Staff.

Now, a second Weapon Fusion Stone had appeared precisely when he reached Lv30.

The development path of the Voidwalker class had already become extremely obvious.

The class was deliberately guiding him to continuously fuse different types of weapons.

Ultimately, he would create a single weapon capable of controlling every combat system.

John currently possessed the SS-Rank [Darkstar Longbow].

It compensated for his lack of ranged physical damage.

However, whenever he switched weapons, the numerous Affixes and skills on the Void Staff could not function at the same time.

In that case...

"Fuse."

John took out the Darkstar Longbow and the second Weapon Fusion Stone.

[Compatible weapons detected!]

[Primary Weapon: Void Staff, S-Rank.]

[Secondary Weapon: Darkstar Longbow, SS-Rank.]

[Fusion Material: SSS-Rank Weapon Fusion Stone.]

[Current Fusion Success Rate: 100%.]

[The fused weapon will inherit the attributes, skills, and all Affixes of both weapons!]

[The fused weapon’s rank will increase to SS!]

[Would you like to begin the fusion?]

"Yes."

Rainbow-colored light instantly enveloped both weapons.

The Darkstar Longbow rapidly disassembled.

Its bow limbs transformed into streaks of pitch-black patterns that spread upward along the Void Staff.

The bowstring became a strand of silver light and merged into the staff’s interior.

The originally black-and-gold staff became even longer and more slender.

Curved structures resembling bow limbs appeared on both sides of the shaft.

A ring of star-like black fragments appeared around the dark-red crystal at its tip.

[Fusion successful!]

[The Void Staff’s rank has increased!]

[Current Rank: SS!]

[The Void Staff has inherited all attributes of the Darkstar Longbow!]

[The Void Staff has inherited the SSS-Rank Affix: Extreme Range Archery!]

[The Void Staff has inherited the SSS-Rank Affix: Endless Arrows!]

[All bow skills have been adapted to the Void Staff!]

[You may now directly use the staff to perform ordinary bow attacks and release bow skills!]

John gripped the newly transformed Void Staff.

He would no longer need to switch back and forth between weapons.

Melee attacks, spells, archery, and Void skills could now all be released through the same weapon.

More notifications appeared.

[Weapon Rank has reached SS!]

[This fusion may randomly generate one SS-Rank Weapon-Exclusive Skill!]

[Would you like to generate it now?]

"Generate."

Countless skill icons flashed rapidly before John.

Eventually, a pitch-black dot stopped at the center of his vision.

The light surrounding the dot continuously distorted.

[Skill generation successful!]

[You have obtained the Unique Weapon-Exclusive SS-Rank Skill: Gravity Black Hole!]

[Gravity Black Hole]

[Rank: SS.]

[Type: Unique Weapon-Exclusive Skill.]

[Black Hole Form: Generates a Gravity Black Hole at a designated location, continuously pulling in all hostile targets within a 100-meter radius.]

[Damage: Deals magic damage equal to 500% of Wisdom every 0.5 seconds.]

[Duration: 5 seconds.]

[White Hole Form: Detonates gravitational repulsion within a designated area, forcibly knocking away every enemy inside.]

[Damage: Deals magic damage equal to 2,000% of Wisdom.]

[Control Effect: Stuns targets for 5 seconds.]

[Base Area of White Hole Form: 100 meters × 100 meters.]

[This is an area-type skill and can be enhanced by area-type Affixes.]

John stared at the skill description.

A black hole.

A white hole.

One forcibly pulled enemies toward its center.

The other blasted every enemy in an entire area away.

This was no longer power that could be described as ordinary elemental magic.

"Creating a black hole with my bare hands?"

"Doesn’t this already count as a cosmic-level ability?"

And this was merely an SS-Rank exclusive skill randomly generated after fusing two weapons for the second time.

What level of abilities would appear if he continued fusing SSS-Rank or even God-Rank weapons in the future?

Voidwalker.

Truly terrifying!

John was still immersed in the joy of obtaining his new skill.

The shadow behind him had already spread completely open.

Nessa silently appeared at his back.

Four black short blades slid into her hands simultaneously.

There was no killing intent.

No sound of wind.

John did not feel the chilling sensation behind him until the blades were about to touch his body.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Four flashes of blade light struck almost simultaneously.

[-2,000!]

[-2,000!]

[-2,000!]

[-2,000!]

John’s HP instantly fell by eight thousand.

The four daggers struck the Holy Candle Bishop Set in rapid succession.

The piercing friction sounded like blades scraping across a steel plate.

Nessa’s pupils contracted slightly.

She had not held back in the slightest with those four strikes.

Against an ordinary Lv30 mage, the first strike alone would have been enough to sever the spine.

Yet the person before her had taken all four attacks head-on without even falling.

John had no time to turn around.

A silver-gray rift had already unfolded beneath his feet.

[Void Shift!]

His body entered the Void.

The four short blades continued slicing through him, but struck only the gradually fading afterimage.

The next second—

John reappeared twenty meters away.

The moment he emerged from the Void, he raised his staff.

Four Fire Dragons roared into the densest part of the Dark Realm army.

The cooldown of Cleave had already refreshed for the first strike of this new exchange.

Each of the four Fire Dragons generated by Projectile Split calculated its effects independently.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four Cleave shock waves erupted simultaneously.

Large numbers of Dark Realm elites were swallowed by the flames.

[Bloodthirsty Strike triggered!]

[HP restored!]
