[Sacrificial Robe]
[Quality: Rare]
[Restricted Level: 10]
[Attributes: Constitution +35, Physical Defense +10%, Magical Defense +20%]
[Effect: The Sacrificial Robe provides a shield equal to all attributes *10]
[Sacrificial Set: Sacrificial Robe√/Sacrificial Tome/Sacrificial Trousers]
"A shield equal to all attributes *10?"
Gu Chen's eyes lit up. His total attributes were currently 480, meaning the Sacrificial Robe could provide him with a 4800 shield.
A single piece of equipment could provide nearly 5000 shield, significantly more than the health of a typical level 7 Fallen Guardian!
Even against a level 15 Red Priest Elite, it could withstand two minor skills.
Furthermore, this equipment also increases Constitution by 35, physical defense by 10%, and magic defense by 20%. It's quite impressive.
Most importantly, this equipment is part of a set.
Although the Red Priest is difficult to defeat, I have to say, it's incredibly rewarding after defeating him!
Let's take a look at the other two items.
[Sacrificial Book]
[Quality: Rare]
[Restricted Level: 10]
[Attributes: Spirit +30, Energy Regeneration +25%, Spell Damage +30%]
[Effect: When all skills of the wearer or allied units are on cooldown, replenish allied units' Energy once.]
[Sacrificial Set: Sacrificial Robe/Sacrificial Book√/Sacrificial Trousers]
A magic book that increases Spirit, damage, and Energy is truly remarkable.
Previously, all of the Red Priest's attacks were performed using this book, which clearly provided a significant damage boost.
[Sacrificial Pants]
[Quality: Rare]
[Restricted Level: 10]
[Attributes: Agility +15]
[Effect: +25% Movement Speed, Immunity to One Slow Effect]
[Sacrificial Set: Sacrificial Robe/Sacrificial Book/Sacrificial Pants√]
The Sacrificial Pants' effectiveness is average, primarily increasing movement speed and providing immunity to one slow effect. However, they're still useless against entangling effects like those of Nightmare minions.
Furthermore, this slow immunity can only be used on oneself, not on allied units, effectively shielding them from summoned beasts.
This further reduces the effectiveness of the equipment.
However, there's no way around it. After all, strictly speaking, the Sacrificial Set is only considered equipment for the Mage class, not the Summoner class.
Having the Sacrificial Book replenish the stamina of allied units is already quite impressive.
Then, Gu Chen looked at the three-piece set's set effects.
[Sacrificial Set: Sacrificial Robe/Sacrificial Tome/Sacrificial Pants]
[Set Attributes: Constitution +50, Spirit +50, Agility +50]
[Set Effect: Perform a sacrificial ritual on a target unit. The user's next skill gains a damage bonus equal to the number of units sacrificed * 100%]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
This is quite terrifying!
In short, the damage of the next skill will be multiplied by the number of units sacrificed.
Gu Chen thought of the Red Priest's explosive power after sacrificing a dozen vampire guards.
No wonder it could instantly kill all the vampire descendants; it turned out the skill had received a tenfold damage bonus.
If this were used by a vampire overlord, it would unleash unimaginable, terrifying damage.
After putting away the three level 10 sets, one minute had already passed.
Inside the sanctuary, the pale gray boundary representing the "Deep Dream" gradually crumbled.
Gu Chen, taking advantage of this moment, harnessed the power of dreams to pass through countless Fallen Guardians and arrived at a man-sized painting frame.
On the frame, streams of dark red liquid flowed slowly and irregularly, resembling an animated presentation.
Gu Chen reached out and removed the painting from the wall, then looked at the item information.
[Sealed Blood]
[Type: Quest Item]
[Description: Blood drawn from a witch, sealed within this mural using a special technique by the Red Priest.]
Having obtained the quest item, Gu Chen immediately ran towards the passage leading to the altar without delay.
The Blood Lord and Nightmare Overlord followed behind, repelling a large group of Fallen Guardians. The three figures advanced deeper and deeper into the corridor, advancing towards their final destination.
"Hmm? The gray fog seems to have disappeared. Could the Red Priest be its source?"
Just now, he had been so focused on escaping the swarm of Fallen Guards behind him that he hadn't noticed this detail. Now, after walking in the corridor for a while, Gu Chen suddenly felt something different about him.
He checked his status and found that the weakness had indeed completely disappeared.
"Thank goodness, the gray fog curse is gone. Otherwise, this final stage would have been quite difficult."
He checked his personal space and saw only one healing potion left; the rest had been consumed in the battle with the Red Priest.
If the gray fog still lingered at the altar, it would be a tough battle.
The corridor was dimly lit, and along the way, more level 10 black-robed deacons spawned.
The Nightmare Overlord, in conjunction with the Blood Lord, quickly and efficiently killed them all.
When he reached the end of the corridor, Gu Chen was accompanied not only by the Blood Lord and the Nightmare Overlord, but also ten level 10 Blood Lords.
Then, Gu Chen released Lin Yuan and the other three from the dream.
Because the gray fog had completely dissipated, they were free again.
They were currently midway between the sanctuary and the altar, a good time to rest.
"Ah, finally out! I always felt so uncomfortable in my dreams." Lin Yuan stretched against a wall.
"I finally understand how terrifying the Hell Level dungeon is. Just look at those countless Fallen Guards. If I'd taken them with me, I wouldn't have been able to escape," Lin Qingqing sighed.
"Now I can guarantee that Li Wenhui and the others won't be able to make it through the Hell Level dungeon. The Red Priests are truly terrifying. Any ordinary professional would be killed if they tried," Wu Ziyi said with lingering fear.
As he listened to Lin Yuan and the others' conversation, Gu Chen stored the Blood Clan Overlord and the Nightmare Lord in his summoned beast space, allowing the two summoned beasts to rest.
He himself found a relatively flat stone slab and leisurely lay down.
Checking the time, he realized three hours had passed since he'd finished the dungeon. It was time to rest and relax.
He wasn't in any trouble, but the main problem was that the Blood Lord had been in combat from start to finish. Although he could restore his health through leveling up, his energy had been greatly depleted.
And the Nightmare Overlord had first unleashed all his skills, then used his stats to double them again. After the one-minute effect ended, his energy was even more depleted than the Blood Lord's.
The energy mechanism wasn't as intuitive as health or stats, which could be reflected in statistics.
So far, energy depletion could only be slowly restored through proper rest.
Gu Chen looked toward the altar in the distance. The final boss of the Hell-level dungeon was right there.
To date, no newcomer had ever cleared a Hell-level dungeon.
Before this, almost all newcomers who entered a Hell-level dungeon had never made it out alive.
At this point, Gu Chen had completely broken the record for the Hell-level dungeon.
He was the only one who saw the finish line.
