Chapter 73: Chapter73-A Qualitative Leap in Stats!

Constitution increased by 50%!

It was an extremely simple Affix.

Yet its effect was as straightforward and overwhelming as it could possibly be.

John lowered his head and glanced at his equipment.

The Void Staff was already packed with a large number of Affixes.

Naturally, there was no reason to keep embedding an armor-exclusive Affix into the staff.

He looked through his equipment slots.

In the end, his gaze settled on a piece of equipment that had accompanied him for a very long time.

[White Briefs].

"You’re the one."

[Would you like to embed the SSS-Rank Affix "Strong Physique" into the White Briefs?]

"Yes."

Rainbow-colored light flashed.

[The White Briefs have obtained the SSS-Rank Affix: Strong Physique!]

[Constitution increased by 50%!]

John’s Constitution, which had just risen to 1,265, suddenly skyrocketed.

[Constitution: 1,265 → 1,898!]

[Voidwalker Class Trait triggered!]

[Strength, Agility, and Wisdom have automatically inherited the current highest Core Attribute!]

[Current Core Attributes: 1,898!]

John remained silent for two seconds.

"As expected."

"The equipment closest to your body is always the most important."

[Ding!]

[Your level has increased to Lv35!]

[You have obtained 5 Free Attribute Points!]

[Unique God-Rank Talent "Supreme Evolution" triggered!]

[You have obtained the SSS-Rank Affix: Unbound Projectiles!]

[Unbound Projectiles]

[Rank: SSS.]

[Type: Weapon-Exclusive Affix.]

[Effect: Increases the casting range of projectile skills by 200%!]

A second [Unbound Projectiles]!

John continued by embedding it into the Void Staff.

[The Void Staff has obtained the SSS-Rank Affix: Unbound Projectiles!]

[Current number of Unbound Projectiles Affixes: 2!]

After investing the five Attribute Points into Strength—

The Voidwalker’s attribute-sharing effect activated once again.

[Current Core Attributes: 1,903!]

Barely any enemies remained on the battlefield.

John controlled the final few black holes and moved them around.

The corpses and loot scattered across the battlefield were all dragged toward the center.

Equipment was protected by the system and could not be destroyed by the black holes.

Tens of thousands of pieces of equipment, materials, Gold Coins, and items gradually piled together.

Eventually, they formed a small mountain at the center of the battlefield.

The final Duskborn Blackguard fell from the edge of a black hole.

John casually swung his staff into its head.

Bang!

The Blackguard collapsed.

The final HP bar of the fifth wave was completely emptied.

The next second—

A system notification echoed throughout the entirety of Dawnstar City.

[The fifth wave of the Dark Realm assault has ended!]

[Quest Progress: 5/5!]

[Military Merit from fifth-wave kills and wave settlement: +99,000!]

[Current Total Military Merit: 499,000!]

[Large-Scale War Quest "Defend Dawnstar City" completed!]

[You have gained 3,000 EXP!]

[You have gained 500 Military Merit!]

[You have gained 10,000 Dawnstar City Reputation!]

[Current Total Military Merit: 499,500!]

The fifth wave had ended.

The surface of the Eternal Night Gate returned to calm.

The Dark Realm army did not send any more troops through.

The invasion defense battle that had lasted an entire hour was officially over!

John stood before the mountain of equipment.

He raised one foot and casually kicked it.

Clatter—!

Large amounts of armor, weapons, and materials slid down from the top of the mountain.

The sound of colliding metal spread across the entire battlefield.

The soldiers atop the wall of Defensive Sector Six still did not cheer.

Everything that had happened today had completely exceeded the limits of their comprehension.

The elite army that had originally been expected to inflict an eighty-percent casualty rate before it could barely be stopped—

Had been repeatedly sucked away, blasted outward, and dragged back again by an Otherworlder around Lv30.

In the end, even their corpses and equipment had been neatly piled into a mountain.

John ignored the gazes around him.

He opened his character panel first.

[Armor Affix: Strong Physique]

More than thirty-eight thousand HP!

John looked at the HP section with great satisfaction.

"As expected of a Boss Talent."

Moreover, this was only the first successful activation of [Plunder].

As he plundered more and more talents in the future, his panel would only become increasingly outrageous.

John closed the attribute panel.

He began taking inventory of the mountain of loot before him.

"One-Click Loot."

Buzz!

The mountain of equipment rapidly disappeared.

Large quantities of items flooded into the Void Arsenal.

[You have obtained SS-Rank Equipment ×7!]

[You have obtained S-Rank Equipment ×126!]

[You have obtained A-Rank Equipment ×1,840!]

[You have obtained B-Rank and lower Equipment ×...]

[You have obtained Skill Books ×93!]

[You have obtained Special Materials ×...]

[You have obtained Gold Coins +...]

John immediately activated the filtering function.

All equipment below B-Rank was hidden.

Among the A-Rank equipment, only items with special skills were retained.

Everything at S-Rank or above would be examined individually.

The four pieces of the Faceless Hunter Set were clearly superior to the equipment John currently wore in the same slots.

He immediately replaced his old equipment.

[You have equipped: Faceless Shadow Garb!]

[You have equipped: Shadowstep Cloak!]

[You have equipped: Four-Blade Gauntlets!]

[You have equipped: Silent Battle Boots!]

[Faceless Hunter Set: 4/4!]

[Set Skill "Shadow Leap" activated!]

Among the remaining equipment were also many items suitable for Zoey and Nonoa.

John selected an S-Rank longbow.

[Windchaser Armor-Piercing Bow]

[Physical Attack +680.]

[Agility +120.]

[After an attack hits, reduces the target’s Physical Defense by 15% for 10 seconds.]

Although this bow’s rank was lower than that of the Darkstar Longbow already fused into the Void Staff, it was still far beyond anything current players could obtain.

It was perfect for Zoey.

John then selected an S-Rank necklace and an S-Rank Skill Book.

[Dark Crystal Guardian Necklace]

[Upon receiving lethal damage, generates a shield equal to 50% of Maximum HP for 5 seconds.]

[Skill Book: Mass Purification]

[Rank: S.]

[Effect: Removes most negative statuses from allied units within the affected area and increases their resistance to abnormal statuses.]

These two items were more suitable for Nonoa.

John sent them directly through the friend-mail system.

[You have sent the Windchaser Armor-Piercing Bow to player "FireRose"!]

[You have sent the Dark Crystal Guardian Necklace and Mass Purification Skill Book to player "Nonoa"!]
