Chapter 223: Knights of the Round Table Dungeon's Ultimate Treasure
Prince Allen had successfully resisted the effects of the Hundred Demons' Night Parade and caused Cheng Tian himself to enter a backlash state, transforming into Ghost Rider. However, some residual effects of the Hundred Demons' Night Parade remained, as evidenced by his transformation into the Ultimate Guard upon his death.
Under the skill's effect, the BOSS's item drop pool after death would also expand, becoming a dual drop pool of "Allen + Ultimate Guard."
In fact, before Allen's death, Cheng Tian had already used Hellfire's Strength to plunder one of Allen's weapons, his silver warhammer. This action would normally lead to a certain reduction in the final spoils.
However, Cheng Tian opened the treasure chest using the Chaotic Step Slashing Technique, which, by rule, split the single remaining regular drop into two. These two items then inherited a portion of Allen's drop pool and the Ultimate Guard's drop pool, respectively.
prince's sword: Purple Rare / Lv1, Two-Handed Greatsword. Equipment Requirements: Strength 42, Charm 30. Attack Power 55-92, Durability 76/76.
A weapon formed by the Ultimate Sword merging with some of Prince Allen's traits, it is a symbol of kingship.
Silver Royal Guard – Active Effect: Summons a team of 12 fully armed Breaker Heavy Knights to charge all enemies in a straight line. Each impact from a cavalryman deals 20 damage, for a maximum of 12 charge combos. Attacked units will be forcibly displaced up to 120 meters. Summoning the Royal Guard consumes 60 MP. The Royal Guard disappears after completing the charge. Cooldown: 5 minutes.
King's Presence – Passive Effect: While holding the weapon, within a radius of Spirit * 10 (300 meters) around you, your servants, summoned units, and contracted party players will receive a 10% increase in their base Strength, Agility, and Spirit attributes.
When you are in a faction versus faction battlefield, allied NPC units will also receive the buff, but the buff data is halved, reduced to 5%.
When you participate in a faction versus faction battle as a leader, as long as you remain on the battlefield, the faction's morale will be difficult to lower.
Allen's Last Words: "Pull out the Sword in the Stone and be chosen as King!? What a joke! As a king, whichever sword I choose, that is the King's Sword!"
Looking at the bright red "Cannot Equip" feedback on the equipment conditions, Cheng Tian fell silent.
This might be a crucial hurdle that players who kill monsters beyond their level must experience.
If Cheng Tian had defeated Allen in a way similar to Garibaldi, there might have been an extra challenge for Cheng Tian to fight the prince again to bypass the equipment conditions.
Unfortunately, Prince Allen's evil soul had been completely judged, leaving behind only this comment that was extremely disdainful of Grand Mage Merlin's views.
It seemed he had heard of Arthur being chosen by the Sword in the Stone during his lifetime and scoffed at it. Although he didn't know the underlying principle, the prince immediately concluded that there was a conspiracy involved in that process.
In reality, it was indeed a conspiracy.
The true solution to the seemingly unequipable two-handed greatsword lay in the skill scroll beside it.
Titan's Grip Scroll: Purple Rare, Skill Scroll, Consumable. Usage: Use from inventory, or tear in half with both hands. Prince Allen's powerful physique, which combined high Strength and high Spirit, allowed him to ignore class restrictions and use any warrior and mage exclusive equipment.
After use, you will learn 'Titan's Grip' Lv1.
Titan's Grip: B-rank Skill / Lv1, Composite Skill. A special ability extracted from Prince Allen's traits during his lifetime, allowing you to use certain weapons and equipment with less effort.
Your weapon slot + 1, changing into Weapon Slot I and Weapon Slot II, both weapon slots simultaneously have main and off-hand weapon slots; you can switch between weapon slots freely in combat, and are not subject to a 6-second cooldown.
All melee weapons and staves have their equipment requirements reduced by 50%.
You can wield two-handed weapons with one hand, while the weapon's damage is reduced to 50%, and weapon effects remain unchanged.
Additional Comment: "I just want to dual-wield battle axes!!!"
What was there to hesitate about? Learn it!
As the scroll was violently torn by Cheng Tian, his third empty skill slot gained an icon of two battle axes being held in both hands.
In Cheng Tian's opinion, Titan's Grip might be more suitable for a B-rank rating than the Hundred Demons' Night Parade.
Weapon slot + 1, allowing for switching between two sets of weapons, which could create unexpected effects in combat.
Moreover, this was not just a manifestation of the Barbarian's ability in Diablo 2 and the Fury Warrior's ability in World of Warcraft; theoretically, it could also allow Cheng Tian to dual-wield staves, becoming a berserker mage.
Both warrior and mage classes would undoubtedly drool with envy upon seeing this skill.
And most importantly, this thing could continue to level up, and who knows if in the future he could truly hold anything in his hands like a Titan.
With the skill acquired, the prince's sword's equipment requirements also dropped from "Strength 42, Charm 30" to "Strength 21, Charm 15."
Cheng Tian's Charm attribute was only 11 points, so theoretically, he could only equip it after receiving the sunfire mask's bonus during the day. However, the main quest settlement was likely soon, and Cheng Tian began to seriously consider whether to increase his Charm attribute.
Finally, there was this clearly more magnificent magic staff.
Its appearance was almost identical to the Emerald Staff, but Cheng Tian knew that this item was a magic staff that had theoretically appeared only once in the entire game's storyline, and only in the final scene, almost at the end of the game, before meeting Golden Grand Duke Garibaldi.
However, unlike the Emerald Staff, which could only be used by a single person, the Crimson Chaos Staff was a special treasure that could affect an entire group!
Crimson Chaos Staff: Magic Tool, Limited Treasure (2), Consumable. Usage Conditions: Held in hand or used from inventory, player rating Bronze or below.
A truly top-tier treasure of the Knights of the Round Table world, which can only be created by consuming a large number of Emerald Staves. At the current time, the entire world only has Golden Grand Duke Garibaldi holding one, but through the miraculous Chaotic Step Slashing Technique combined with Prince Allen's relic treasure chest, this limited treasure, which should have been (1), became limited (2).
When used in combat state —
The effect is completely identical to the Emerald Staff, buffing target + 2, and can additionally affect 2 allied party contract players.
When used in non-combat state or within the Space Island —
Your HP cap + 150, designated 1 weapon 강화 + 1, designated 1 armor 강화 + 1, free attribute points + 4, free skill points + 1. These effects can simultaneously apply to your servants, combat mounts, and 2 additional designated players; the 강화 rules are equivalent to the Emerald Staff.
Additional Comment: "It is recommended to adjust skills and equipment enhancement levels at home before using."
