"Iron Maiden," that's the name of a Platinum-level BOSS.
Its real name is "Steel Saintess."
This is a terrifying BOSS that left a deep impression on all the players in Jianghai City in the previous life!
Its strategy difficulty is about the same as "Purifier Faisal."
But because the battle takes place in a public area, there are always a lot of people trying to snatch the BOSS.
In the previous life, this BOSS took half a day to be taken down.
Of course, Qin Feng had already quietly taken down the Purifier by then, so he didn't participate in the siege of the "Steel Saintess."
Other players in Jianghai City died thousands of times because of this BOSS!
A few were killed by the BOSS.
Most were killed by each other.
Because, taking down the Steel Saintess would grant a hideout named "Cathedral Sanctuary"!
"If I remember correctly, quite a few people should have formed guilds by now."
"But in the previous life, Iron Maiden was only discovered on the third day..."
Qin Feng looked from afar.
He saw a steel statue of a woman, about ten meters tall, standing amidst the ruins. Due to the distance, he couldn't see the lower half for now...
As for her upper body, it was entirely cast in steel, with hands that had no fingers but two sharp iron flywheels filled with murderous intent.
The steel-formed female face bore a strange and cruel smile, a smile that seemed to never change...
Her chest had two flamethrower devices, of course, the flamethrower was a skill used in the second phase of the "Steel Saintess."
"Since someone has triggered it, I'll take this BOSS."
Qin Feng's lips curled slightly, and he immediately changed direction, riding his Ghostly Night Wolf, rushing towards the Steel Saintess at full speed!
Along the way, Qin Feng wasn't idle.
He directly opened the skill interface and began evolving skills.
This time, after clearing the arena ruins, Qin Feng took down two Gold-level BOSSes along the way.
One of the BOSSes dropped a pretty good Gold-level skill book for him.
Qin Feng directly consumed 11 Evolution Points to evolve this skill to Epic-level:
——
[Silent Concealment (Gold→Platinum→Emerald→Diamond→Epic): Enter an invisible state on the spot, remaining invisible as long as no attack is initiated or movement occurs. If an attack is initiated, it adds 300→400→500→600→800 points of stealth-breaking damage! Cooldown 120→110→100→80→60 (38.7) seconds. Level requirement: 13]
——
This is another stealth skill.
The difference is, this stealth skill doesn't allow movement.
As long as you don't move, you remain invisible forever!
With this skill, it means Qin Feng has another means of burst.
When fighting a BOSS, he can initiate an attack in stealth, then release "Silent Concealment," and immediately follow up with another attack to deal that 800 points of stealth-breaking damage.
You should know, this 800 points of stealth-breaking damage, after various bonuses, becomes two to three thousand final damage!
The only drawback is that the skill's cooldown is a bit long.
"However, this skill is simply invincible in reality..."
"Activate it when entering the game, and as long as I don't exit the game, I'll remain invisible forever!"
Combined with the fact that his physical body in reality is in an "unselectable" state when entering the game.
This means...
With this skill, whenever Qin Feng enters the game, it's as if he disappears in reality!
He completely doesn't exist in this world!
Besides "Silent Concealment," Qin Feng also obtained several low-grade Assassin skill books.
But only one "Kick (can interrupt target's spellcasting)" is somewhat useful, other skills are basically useless.
Of course, Qin Feng learned them all, as these skills can be upgraded to Epic-level after he acquires the Soul Devourer bloodline, allowing the bloodline to devour them and provide stronger bloodline attributes...
After evolving "Silent Concealment," Qin Feng evolved two more skills.
——
[Venomous Dart (Emerald→Diamond→Epic): Maximum range 17→18→20 meters. On hit, adds 240→300→400 attack damage, and applies a "Venomous" state.]
[Venomous: Deals 80%→90%→100% continuous damage per second, no weak point bonus, lasts 5 seconds, cannot stack.]
——
Venomous Dart was evolved to Epic-level, consuming 34 Evolution Points.
Finally, 200 Evolution Points were consumed to evolve the already Legendary "Gift of Liberation" to Mythical level!
——
[Gift of Liberation (Legendary→Mythical): Weak point attack correction +200%→300%, weak point attack multiplier doubled. Level 5]
[Active Use: Causes the next attack to inflict "Throat Slash" effect, dealing 150%→200% of that attack's damage per second, lasting 3 seconds. Cooldown 25 (22.2) seconds→15 (9.7) seconds.]
——
This skill reaching Mythical level...
Although it seems like not much has changed.
But Qin Feng knows, this skill has finally undergone a transformation!
With this 300% weak point attack correction, for Qin Feng, except for some special monsters... anyone he looks at will have weak points all over their body!
For players, weak points are the heart and head.
Once expanded by 300%, it directly covers their entire body!
Qin Feng's "Shadow Blink Slash" skill originally doesn't benefit from weak points.
But because the weak point is magnified to four times its original size...
Anywhere he hits is a weak point!
Under the Legendary Gift of Liberation, Qin Feng's Shadow Blink Slash has about a one-third chance to hit the target's weak point.
The position of this slash is beyond his control, so it can only be calculated by the system's random probability.
But now, with the Mythical Gift of Liberation!
His Shadow Blink Slash will have weak point damage in at least eight out of nine slashes!
This is a qualitative change!
After evolving Gift of Liberation, Qin Feng has 10 Evolution Points left, which he temporarily sets aside.
Next, he checks his equipment.
First is a bone necklace he wears around his neck.
——
[Deceiver Pendant (Platinum): Assassin-type accessory. Physical attack +45, Strength +20, Constitution +20. Equipment requirement: Level 13]
[Unique Effect: +1 Stealth Level.]
——
After putting on this necklace, Qin Feng has to swap out the "Disciple Pendant."
However, the Disciple Pendant is a summoning-type equipment.
When needed, he can swap it in to summon and then swap it back out. The Devout Believer summoned will not disappear when the Disciple Pendant is removed.
This Deceiver Pendant directly adds 1 level to Qin Feng's stealth level.
Bringing his stealth level to level 4!
"The skill itself has 1 level of stealth, this Deceiver Pendant adds 1 level, the Shadow class adds 2 levels, totaling 4 levels of stealth!"
However, the downside is that this Deceiver Pendant doesn't increase cooldown speed.
After swapping out the Disciple Pendant, which adds 20% cooldown speed, Qin Feng's cooldown speed decreased a bit... but it's not a big deal.
In comparison, the 1 level of stealth is definitely more important, not to mention the physical attack and strength added by this necklace will increase damage.
There's also another piece of equipment, which is in the helmet slot.
