"Although they are completely different from the original Equipment effects..." Yu Zhun stroked his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. "It seems they can cover everything?"

[Fearless] and [Sanctuary] were somewhat similar, but when compared, the former was clearly stronger. The former limited the maximum damage taken per second, while the latter only offset a single instance of massive damage. In addition, [Fearless] could take effect on non-damage Life Value deductions. This meant that when facing the Nether, even against the opponent’s [Abyssal Stand], [Fearless] would still take effect. If he had this Equipment effect at the time, Yu Zhun could have safely and boldly finished off his opponent with a One-Hit Kill.

[Bloodbath] could also perfectly replace [Flame Extinguishing], and was even stronger than it. After all, [Flame Extinguishing] could not trigger against a One-Hit Kill, whereas [Bloodbath] could.

Aside from these two most important Equipment effects, the other six effects of the [Nether Roar Demon Helmet] and the [Nether Treading Demon Boots] basically covered his original Equipment effects, and were even stronger in some aspects. For example, speed. Previously, Yu Zhun’s Equipment had almost no speed-related effects, which meant that if he encountered a ranged opponent faster than him, he could easily be kited. Now, this issue had been properly resolved.

Even the boots’ Equipment effect, [Pursuit], could be considered a divine skill. If he ever encountered another guy like Lu Wen—who used a teleportation item to run away when he couldn’t win—Yu Zhun could give him a pleasant surprise.

Looking at the five pieces of Legendary Equipment with their solidified effects, Yu Zhun smiled, his eyes burning with fervor.

"The only problem now is... I need to undergo the First Turn trial as soon as possible and reach Lv35."

***

Divine Strategy City, [Godslayer] Guild.

The morning sunlight fell on the tall guild building. The guild members, who had logged in early, were preparing for a new day of dungeon runs. Accompanied by a rich baking aroma, Su Yue, dressed in a chef’s maid outfit, walked out carrying a freshly baked dessert from the oven. She gently placed it on the table, and instantly, all the members’ eyes turned toward her.

"Come, come, try my newly made strawberry mousse cake!"

The dessert was quickly divided up by the swarming guild members. Sheila held her portion and expressionlessly pulled out a fork with a small dinosaur drawn on the end. She scooped up the whole, bright red strawberry on top of the cake and swallowed it in one bite with a loud CHOMP. Her eyes, which were even redder than the strawberry, instantly lit up.

Suddenly, her ears twitched, and she looked toward the door. A figure strode in, looked at the crowd, and scratched his head. "Well then, is there a portion for me?"

"Guild Leader, you’re late today," Su Yue said with a grin, picking up the last plate. "But I saved one for you!"

"Thanks." Yu Zhun smiled and took it. "But I’m not late; I just came out of a Dungeon."

A Dungeon?

At once, everyone’s ears perked up simultaneously. They wondered, "What is going on? Did the Guild Leader go clear a Dungeon behind our backs?"

Salas revealed a thoughtful expression. "Is it the one you asked me to craft custom items for earlier?"

"That’s right." Yu Zhun scooped a large bite of cake into his mouth. The exhaustion from spending over ten hours clearing the [Nether Abyss] seemed to be swept away with it. "We’ll have a meeting in a bit."

A meeting? Everyone looked at each other in dismay, wondering, "Could it be related to the Dungeon the Guild Leader just cleared?"

Soon, all the members of the [Godslayer] Guild, having happily enjoyed their cake, arrived at the guild’s largest conference room.

"Let’s talk about the First Turn trial first." Yu Zhun looked at everyone present. "Roughly how much longer do you all need?"

"I can do it anytime." Ji Xiaoyu raised her hand. "I’ve already reached Lv30, and my boots have already been Enhanced."

"Same," Sheila said expressionlessly. She smacked her lips after speaking, as if still savoring the taste of the cake from earlier. She was the earliest in the guild to reach Lv30, so it could be said that she was ready to start the First Turn trial at any time.

"My level is there too." Salas scratched his head. "It’s just that my Equipment is still a bit lacking, but I’m currently preparing it."

"Yu Yu and I are still one level away." Su Hong smiled somewhat abashedly. "We estimate it’ll take another two days to reach Lv30. Additionally, our Equipment might still need some preparation."

The two of them were still short one or two pieces of Red Equipment to have a full set. Yu Zhun noted this and thought, "So... in another two days, will the current members of the [Godslayer] Guild all reach Lv30?" He nodded in understanding.

"Since that’s the case, we will all begin the First Turn trial together in two days," Yu Zhun said, looking at everyone. "As for Equipment... whether you are already prepared or not, you all can reconsider."

Saying this, he took out ten crimson orbs of light from his backpack.

"Here are five pieces of Lv25 and five pieces of Lv30 selectable Epic Equipment. They belong to the same series.

"Wearing five pieces of Equipment from the same series will grant a set effect, increasing Equipment Attributes by thirty percent.

"There are two sets here. Let’s consider one set as two hundred million."

Dead silence.

A dead silence fell over the conference room. All the guild members stared dumbfounded at the ten orbs of light. Full sets of Epic Equipment? And they were even selectable?!

A single decent piece of Epic Equipment could already sell for forty million. If it was part of a set, it commanded an average premium of around fifty percent. Selling a five-piece set for two hundred million was truly a steal.

"I want one!" Ji Xiaoyu was the first to react, her eyes shining. Although she already had five pieces of +20 Equipment, they were all individual parts. If she could put together a set, her strength would definitely see a massive increase! Two days was more than enough time for her to get her new Equipment ready.

Sheila glanced at Salas and the Su Family siblings. Seeing that none of the three made a sound, she expressionlessly raised her hand. "I want one."

Although she was already fully prepared for the First Turn trial, a set like this could be used for a very long time. Naturally, she had to snatch it up.

The Su Family siblings looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Su Hong’s father was the vice leader of the Hanlong Guild, so they could still cough up two hundred million. However, the Enhancement costs that followed acquiring the Equipment would also be exorbitant. Even Su Mingde would likely find it a massive headache.

On the other side, Salas was in a similar situation. The items were great, but he could hardly afford them. If he truly had the money, he wouldn’t have considered joining the [Hand of Slaughter] Guild in the first place due to compensation issues.

"Alright, take them," Yu Zhun said, tossing the ten orbs of light to the two girls. He then wiped his hand across his backpack and pulled out fifty-five pieces of +20 Red Equipment. "You three take a look and see if there are any you can use."

Dead silence. The conference room once again plunged into a dead silence.

Fifty-five pieces of Red Equipment piled up, filling the entire conference room. The red glow unique to Epic Equipment reflected on everyone’s faces, flushing them crimson. All the members of the [Godslayer] Guild unanimously looked at Yu Zhun with sheer disbelief. Even the usually expressionless Sheila couldn’t help but be moved at this moment.

He had just whipped out ten selectable pieces of Red Equipment, and now he pulled out this massive pile of what looked like second-hand Red Equipment. They couldn’t help but wonder, "Did our Guild Leader go clear a Dungeon, or did he go commit a robbery?!"
