Chapter 86: Equipment Effect [Asura]!

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Equipment Effect [Asura]!

"Huh?!"

Looking at the [Nether’s Sigh +10] in his hands, Salas wore a dumbfounded expression.

Just...

Just this?

This was completely different from what he had expected!

As an Assassin, how could the guild leader’s weapon have the lowest Enhancement level among all his Equipment?

How could a mere +10 Enhancement Degree be worthy of a noble Red Weapon?!

At this moment, Salas only hated the fact that he wasn’t an Enhancer. Otherwise, he would have sold everything he owned to push this weapon’s Enhancement to +20!

"Don’t just stand there." Yu Zhun patted Salas’s shoulder. "Reforge it first, then help me perform a Refinement on it."

"Oh, right, okay." Snapping back to reality, Salas walked over to the Forging furnace. He skillfully began to reforge [Nether’s Sigh], occasionally tossing an Epic Essence into the mix as he hammered away.

This kind of operation wasn’t difficult for him. He even had the energy to discuss the subsequent Refinement with Yu Zhun.

"Guild Leader, the Equipment effect you want to change through Refinement is [Soul Capture], right?" Salas asked casually.

In his eyes, an Equipment effect that didn’t boost any damage output—only reducing the Physical Attack and Magic Attack of targets facing him—was completely meaningless for an Assassin’s weapon.

Not to mention, the guild leader’s other three pieces of Equipment made him tanky enough. He had to add some damage output, didn’t he?

"Of course not." Yu Zhun gave Salas an odd look. "Why would you have such a strange idea? The Equipment effect that needs Refinement is [Linyuan]."

Salas’s reforging movements abruptly ground to a halt.

Who was the strange one here?!

Did he actually want to wash away an effect that ignored the target’s Physical Defense?

"Maybe the guild leader thinks the side effect is too severe," he reasoned. "After all, using this skill drops his own Physical Defense to zero as well."

Salas came up with a relatively logical explanation in his mind.

"Then what are your expectations for the Refinement, Guild Leader?" Salas asked. "What type of Equipment effect do you need?"

"Hmm..." Yu Zhun pondered for a moment. "Something tankier?"

Salas was speechless.

"Guild Leader, I hope you understand that this is a weapon." He turned his head and looked at Yu Zhun very seriously. "Different Equipment slots can yield different skills through Refinement. A weapon can absolutely never roll a defensive effect, not even a Warrior’s weapon."

"Then... something like [Soul Capture]?" Yu Zhun scratched his head awkwardly. "Just give me an effect that can enhance my survivability!"

Listening to Yu Zhun’s thoughts, Salas couldn’t help but sigh. Giving this Red Weapon to the guild leader was truly a disservice to the Red Weapon itself.

The reforging ended quickly. Salas dug out a pile of materials and began the Refinement process on [Nether’s Sigh].

Seeing those materials that clearly didn’t look cheap at a glance, the corner of Yu Zhun’s mouth twitched slightly.

Fortunately, all the expenses for Salas to reforge and refine Equipment for guild members were reimbursed by their wealthy benefactress. This was also why Yu Zhun felt too embarrassed to ask her for an Enhancement Room. His skin was just too thin.

After some preparation, a look of anticipation welled up in Salas’s eyes. Having recently unlocked Refinement, this was also his first time attempting the process on Epic-grade Equipment.

BANG!

As the hammer struck down, the interface of [Nether’s Sigh] instantly changed. The original [Linyuan] was replaced by a new Equipment effect.

[Equipment Effect 1 (Nether Blood): Attacks deal additional Physical Damage equal to 20% of the target’s maximum Life Value. Only takes effect once every 5 seconds.]

"Holy shit!!!"

Salas’s pupils quaked.

This, this, this!

To think that an incredibly supreme percentage-based damage effect appeared on the very first Refinement!

"Guild Leader!" Salas sharply turned his head to look at Yu Zhun. "A top-tier Equipment effect came out!"

"Oh?" Yu Zhun’s interest was piqued. "What effect?"

"Attacks deal..."

Salas read the Equipment effect out loud, only to see Yu Zhun wave his hand with a complete lack of interest.

"Refine it away. Next."

Salas was full of question marks. He wanted to refine away an effect like this?!

"Sigh!" Salas let out a long sigh and swung his hammer once more.

[Equipment Effect 1 (Abyssal Poison): Each attack inflicts 1 stack of abyssal toxin on the target, lasting 10 seconds. Cap is 30 stacks. Each stack is timed independently and deals Physical Damage equal to 20% of Physical Attack per second.]

This Equipment effect...

Salas’s eyes lit up, but after turning his head to look at Yu Zhun beside him, he sighed again. He slammed the hammer down indignantly, as if he weren’t forging [Nether’s Sigh], but rather smashing Yu Zhun’s head.

[Equipment Effect...]

[Equipment Effect...]

[Equipment Effect...]

Refinement after Refinement took place. Among them were many Equipment effects that Salas considered to be extremely powerful, but Yu Zhun’s answer was always, "Next."

Just as Salas felt like he would never roll the effect the guild leader wanted through Refinement, another BANG of the hammer rang out, and his eyes lit up.

This Equipment effect would definitely satisfy the guild leader’s requirements!

[Equipment Effect 1 (Asura): For every 1 target killed, own All Attributes increase by 1%. Effect disappears after being out of combat for 10 seconds.]

"Guild Leader! The Equipment effect you wanted is here!" Salas didn’t even bother reading the effect out loud, simply handing [Nether’s Sigh] directly back to Yu Zhun.

If this still couldn’t satisfy the guild leader, he was going to go on strike!

Yu Zhun caught it casually. After a quick glance, an excited look appeared on his face.

This... This Equipment effect...

It was simply perfect for him!

With the skill level of [Sword Dance] raised to max, his group combat capability had now reached quite a game-breaking level. Under such circumstances, the Equipment effect [Asura] practically sent his strength soaring up another tier.

The more he killed, the tankier he got, and the tankier he got, the more he could kill!

"Sa, thanks for the hard work this time!" Yu Zhun gave Salas a firm hug, entirely unable to calm his excited expression.

"It wasn’t that hard," Salas said slowly. "The only problem is..."

***

"You spent one hundred million on one Equipment Refinement?!"

Ji Xiaoyu’s hands trembled as she looked at the bill.

"It was an accident..." Yu Zhun shrank his neck back. "I didn’t expect refining Equipment to cost so much money..."

"Under normal circumstances, it actually wouldn’t cost this much," Salas chimed in faintly from the side, rubbing salt in the wound. "But the guild leader’s request was rather specific. It was a skill that’s very difficult to roll, so..."

"Forget it." Ji Xiaoyu sighed, then glared at Yu Zhun with a look that was fierce but undeniably cute. "From now on, give me an extra ten percent cut of the experience when we enter Dungeons!"

CLAP!

Yu Zhun pressed his palms together. "Alright, whatever you say."

Beside them, Su Yue covered her mouth and giggled, while Su Hong also couldn’t hold back his laughter.

"It’s quite lively here." ℯℯ𝑙.

A voice drifted in from outside as Zhu Zhe walked into the [Godslayer] guild.

"Hall Master Zhu?" Yu Zhun hastily stood up, a look of surprise on his face. "What brings you here?"

"There is a matter I would like to discuss with you." Zhu Zhe looked at Yu Zhun, his expression turning slightly more serious. "Have you ever heard of Special Dungeons?"
