105 Intelligence required

Level 50 required

Limited to Aquamancers

The primary attributes of the Chaos Frost Boots were the same as the Chaos Frost Gauntlets, with the latter's attached Liquid Form skill especially eye-catching. Blinking within thirty meters was very practical whether for escape or attack, although it was a pity that the cooldown timeframe was almost two hours.

As he changed into the Chaos Frost Boots, Qin Ruo glanced at the Water Dragon's Staff in his hand with his heart filled with joy.

His equipment set was almost complete….

Both his cape and weapons were Dark Gold items with additional effects, with one being the highest tier and the other high. Along with four Legends, he was not too far behind veteran Tier 5 champions in terms of equipment.

As for ability…

Qin Ruo recalled the Black Hole unleashed by Majestic Hero in the Hall of Liches, a gaze of fervor unwittingly appearing in his face. He still needed time to feel and figure out Tier 5, but the day where he reached that level would always come.

While Qin Ruo cheered for himself, Majestic Hero and Black G.o.d had already learned about the next Story Quest from Darius.

With the Golden Key in hand, Darius intended to wait for the other Eternity Peak guards to obtain the other Golden Keys before simultaneously activating the Hallway of Eternity at once. They would thus bypa.s.s the tightly guarded city walls of the Buried City's sentinels, directly constructing the Hallway of Eternity into the center of the Buried City!

Meanwhile, Ary Carqis had decreed that the fourth entrance of the eight pa.s.sageways to the Buried City would be reopened! (The Angel Faction's four entrances)

When that time comes, the Buried City would be opened once more to the Mythical Continent, directly sending the millions of warriors down to the Buried City and present a sea of adventurers right before the sp.a.w.n of Hades…

Still, before the ten Golden Keys were collected, they would accept a new personal quest for vengeance from the demiG.o.d champion Darius!

Darius's Revenge: Infiltrate the Buried City and get rid of the Dark Knight Commander Dalais who slaughtered Darius's parents and siblings while reclaiming a family portrait of Darius' Family.

A family portrait…

As the trio learned that they would be taking the relic from Darius's home, Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero, and Black G.o.d were deeply moved by the expression of loneliness and sadness upon Darius's face. They could imagine how cruel the torment was for Darius to keep guarding the Eternal Barrier!

Helpless as his kin died, and then to learn that they were being slaughtered and the fall of the Buried City, while they, the guardians remained in their final post as they stood watch over the entire realm!

Endless mournfulness!

Eternal waiting, a protection so mechanical it was almost jaded!

As the endless specters a.s.saulted, Darius thus waited for a hundred years, and yet never gave up!

Even as the adventurers from the Mythical Continent finally entered the Buried City, the very first thought of Darius, who ignited the flames of hope, was still the honor of the Buried City!

After obtaining one of the Golden Key to activate the Hallway of Eternity, Darius finally tore open the scars covered in dust…

Vengeance!

The cries for help before his kin died still echoed in his ears…

His eyes bloodshot, Darius fixed his gaze upon Qin Ruo's group.

"Whoever kills Dalais for me," he said, "I shall give him this ring…"

As he spoke, Darius slowly took out a ring that glinted in a green-gray l.u.s.ter from his finger.

The feedback of the ring's attribute was distinct in the trio's eyes.

Darius's Ring of Vengeance

Dark Gold tier

HP increased by 600

MP increased by 200

Regenerate 30 HP and 1MP every second

Absorbs 5% of physical and magical damage.

Additional Attribute—the ring that had gathered Darius's hundred years of blood and years, permeating his hundred-year-will for vengeance: the wearer could activate Rage, a skill Darius developed through meditation. Enter a state of Revenge, at the cost of 20% reduction to all resistance, increase all attack by 15%, increase 10% attack speed, attack upper limit increased during activation, successful critical rate increased to 20%, lasts 180 minutes (One use per day).

After obtaining every attribute information of Darius's Ring of Vengeance, Qin Ruo felt the group's breathing become coa.r.s.e instantly and the thump of their heartbeats accelerating!

They could have heard it if a needle dropped within the Eternity Barrier, and it was until Darius put the ring back into his finger that Qin Ruo, Majestic Hero, and Black G.o.d withdrew their yearning gazes.

Madness.

Sheer madness!

That was a Dark Gold-quality ring? Preposterous! Even if Qin Ruo was conscious about the many rare equipment in the Mythical Continent, the former attributes of the Ring of Vengeance was plenty enough to be cla.s.sified as Dark Gold, and perhaps Dark Gold high grade at that!

Qin Ruo had never seen anything else that buffs by adding 600 HP, 200 HP, along with the twofold regeneration of both HP and MP—especially the automatic recovery of MP. He was also very sure that the magical recovery ability was a precious attribute for any Cla.s.s…

That attribute alone was Dark Gold quality, not to mention its aspect of reducing physical and magical damage!

Although the latter mentioned Rage exchanged defense for offense, the increased attributes could display astonis.h.i.+ng utility in many situations. Moreover, sacrificing 20% Resistance for Tier 5 players such as them was nothing much, but the 15% increase in attack and elevation of their upper offensive limit would make them even more frightening!

Legendary tier!

That ring could absolutely compare to any Legendary tier ring…

Though Qin Ruo had never seen any attribute and data of Legendary tier ornaments, he would still place that ring above the grade of Dark Gold items.

Indeed, the attributes of that ring could only be described as Legendary tier!

However, even as Qin Ruo kept gulping as he looked on, Majestic Hero and Black G.o.d could not hold back their stirred hearts as well, and appeared at once motivated.

Black G.o.d, never one to mince words, was actually being sweet and agreeable this time.

"Being brothers, I know you the best," he said. "This thing is so precious that you would definitely hate to claim it for yourself… I'll take this one for you."

"Hah." Majestic Hero watched Black G.o.d silently and sighed. "A ring with Legendary tier attribute is much more precious than Divinity. I'm sorry, I'm not giving up this time either."

"d.a.m.n, no sense of humor. Fine, fair compet.i.tion! Whoever wins gets it!" Seemingly knowingly that Majestic Hero would say that all along, Black G.o.d did not hold back either.

"OK!"

Majestic Hero was thoroughly confident in that respect.

Qin Ruo watched their conversation dispiritedly. He was Tier 5 for better or worse, but was he not being ignored?

Additionally, leaving aside what cla.s.s of Boss the Dark Knight Commander Dalais was, there were many challenges ahead in infiltrating the Buried City, and would certainly be beyond obtaining a Golden Key—it was not so easily done.

Of course!

As the two turned toward Darius and learned more about the mission, their expression gradually grimaced…

Of course!

Jewelry with near-Legendary attribute was not so easily earned.

None of the Dark Knights had not been strongest fighters amongst humans, each of which possessed the ability parallel to G.o.ds, with the Dark Knight Commander being a Divine Champion exploited by Hades in death. Even if abilities decrease by one tier after death, each of the Dark Knights wielded Tier 5 Mega Boss combat abilities—and the Dark Knight commander was a genuine Tier 6 Mega Boss! Given that it was a spectral champion molded by Hades's own hands, the Dark Knight Commander's power was perhaps above the Liches, nearing Tier 6 Elite Mega Boss…

What was more, every Dark Knight Commander always had a party of Dark Knights following them around. In other words, if Majestic Hero and Black G.o.d wished to take down Dalais, it was equal to attacking an entire party of Tier 5 Mega Boss along with one Tier 6 Mega Boss!

"d.a.m.n!" Black G.o.d cursed with his back to Darius. "That's just too difficult!"

"Now that's a challenge!"

Majestic Hero's response appeared calm, however. "The ring would be meaningless if it was too easy."

Suddenly inspired, Qin Ruo thought he understood the meaning behind Majestic Hero's words: there were ten Eternity Peaks in the Buried City, and the quests a.s.signed by the ten DemiG.o.d champions were mostly the same, just as their rewards were!

If it was too easy, that thing would not be valuable.

Majestic Hero watched Qin Ruo thoughtfully as he nodded silently before he continued.

"Netherclaw and Scarlet Bauhinia had already started this quest line as well, and so we must move faster, and not be left too far behind by those from Black Jail or Hall of Heroes… by the way, Qin Ruo, what do you plan to do?"

"Me?" I won't be thinking about that—fighting a Tier 5 Mega Boss is a problem for me already. I'm now going to help train Poochie to Tier 5, and then… take some time to get used to Tier 5 skills."

The former was the truth, but Qin Ruo hesitated as he moved on the latter and withheld information about the Ring of Honor. In fact, what he wanted to do the most at the moment was to find a Tier 5 Mega Boss, and finish the matter of "Honor" with the Ring of Honor that he had kept in mind for the last few days…

Reshaping soul, activating the unlimited storage s.p.a.ce aspect of the Ring of Honor, and then uncover the hidden secrets from the old b.u.mbling fools of the Elementalist Guild.

"That's good. This quest can't be done in the coming few days, we must prepare for a bit… still, I must remind you of something."

Staring at Qin Ruo with a resolute gaze, Majestic Hero spoke solemnly. "Before you master Tier 5 techniques, do not try to duel any veteran Tier 5 champion… Including Dark Dragon!"
