Chapter 291 First Signs of Brilliance
Eric had always been trying to enhance the potential of the Abyssal Blade by collecting 10 pieces of level 15 Adamantite weapons, so he deliberately did not level up, keeping the Abyssal Blade at level 10.
But now, he couldn't care about that anymore.
Eric's Abyssal Blade emitted billowing black mist and directly rushed towards the weapon Eric was about to sacrifice.
In less than three seconds, even the incredibly hard Obsidian One-Handed Sword Sword of Daemonbane turned into a cloud of black mist and was absorbed by the Abyssal Blade.
After devouring the sacrificial weapon, the Abyssal Blade was no longer entirely black. Golden divine runes, which had never appeared before, emerged on the blade, emitting a faint golden glow, and the blade turned silver-gray.
Eric just swung the Abyssal Blade, and as the blade cut through the air, the air seemed like a transparent sheet being sliced open.
"So sharp," Eric marveled as he looked at the Abyssal Blade in his hand.
With such sharpness, combined with his newly acquired primary destructive power, even without using the destructive power of the Frost Azure Flame, Dark Iron weapons and equipment would likely be unable to withstand it. Only Mithril Tier quality could hold up for a while.

Crafted by the master Osiris using the Black Dragon King's fang, this famous sword is one of the thirty-six legendary swords in Divine Realms: Legends, ranked thirty-first. However, this sword is afflicted by the Black Dragon King's Dreaded Affliction. Besides granting the holder incredible power, it will periodically backfire on the holder. However, it was modified by Jack, who added Moonstone, greatly reducing the backfire's power. If the backfire cannot be suppressed, the holder will suffer the Black Dragon King's Dreaded Affliction, permanently reducing all attributes by 50%. Additionally, it cannot be dropped, traded, or destroyed.
"No wonder it's a Demonic Weapon. Even without using ten Adamantite weapons and one Obsidian weapon for the sacrifice, the increased attack power alone is higher than that of Obsidian weapons, almost comparable to a two-handed dark gold greatsword," Eric smiled with satisfaction.
The level 15 Obsidian Sword of Daemonbane only had 183 attack power, while the Abyssal Blade had 211 attack power, much stronger than the Sword of Daemonbane, not to mention the other attributes and skills had also improved.
However, there was still a significant gap compared to the level 20 top-tier dark gold One-Handed Sword Infernal Shadeblade.
Infernal Shadeblade, One-Handed Sword, Obsidian (can be upgraded twice), equipment level 20.
Attack +273.
Strength +30, Agility +25, Stamina +22, Attack Speed +2, Durability 110/110.
20% chance to deal triple damage, 10% chance to reduce the target's damage by 20% for 30 seconds, not stackable.
Attached Skill: Infernal Fury, increases attack speed by 100% and damage by 30%, duration 15 seconds, cooldown 2 minutes.
But there's no helping it; level 20 weapons and equipment are a significant upgrade from level 15 ones.
Level 20 is the level at which players can advance to a first-tier profession, so level 20 weapons and equipment see a substantial boost.
"Attack power has increased significantly, but it might still be insufficient to take down the sixth wave of monsters."
Eric knew that increasing combat power wasn't just about attack power. While increased attack power meant a significant boost in output, combat power was a comprehensive data representation, including attributes like strength, agility, stamina, and skills, all of which were important indicators of combat power.
Even if attack power increased three or four times, monsters' health was more than ten times that of players. If one couldn't dodge the monsters' attacks, it would be over in a few hits, so increasing attack power didn't add much to overall combat power.
A player's strength is like a water barrel; it's not about the long planks but the short ones.
So Eric opened the System panel. Since Ukarus had already granted him access to the Crystal Palace exchange System, Eric could directly exchange items within the System. Eric used the 1500 merit points he had earned to exchange for a level 20 dark gold weapon and took out 10 pieces of level 20 Dark Iron Weapons from his backpack.
There were many Dark Iron level weapons in the guild warehouse. Over the past few days, Eric, Rosewater, and the others had been in the Lost Land, while Tonny and the others had been busy running level 20 five-man dungeons, leveling up, and gathering materials and equipment in preparation for the guild's entry into the level 20 hundred-man raid. They had obtained quite a few level 20 weapons and equipment, making Guild of Aether Wing the guild with the most level 20 weapons and equipment in all of Silvervale City.
So Eric selected some level 20 Dark Iron Weapons with less desirable attributes to keep as spares, which he now found useful.
Eric then chose to continue upgrading the Abyssal Blade.
Level 20 was a significant threshold; just like when the Abyssal Blade was upgraded to level 10, there would be a substantial boost. Whether he could pass the upcoming trials depended on the Abyssal Blade's upgrade to level 20.
However, this time's devouring was clearly different from when it was upgraded to level 15.
After devouring the sacrifices, the Abyssal Blade shattered, emitting the roar of a dragon, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The Abyssal Blade in Eric's hand broke free and floated in mid-air.
With a loud bang, the Abyssal Blade exploded, turning into a black tornado, bringing everything to a deathly silence.
After the black tornado dissipated, a massive figure emerged, the shadow of the Black Dragon King that Eric had seen before. However, compared to the first time, this shadow was much clearer, and its world-destroying aura was even more intense. Eric felt more terrified than when facing the big shots on the Throne of Immortality.
Of course, the main reason was that those big shots had not released their pressure and had deliberately restrained it.
The hundreds-of-meters-tall shadow of the Black Dragon King looked at Eric, revealing a human-like cold smile before dissipating and turning back into the Abyssal Blade, which fell in front of Eric, deeply embedded in the sand with only the hilt exposed.
Eric took a moment to compose himself before reaching out to pull out the Abyssal Blade.
The Abyssal Blade had undergone a significant transformation. The entire sword had turned silver-gray, emitting a faint black death aura, full of demonic energy. A black dragon pattern appeared intermittently on the blade, and the hilt was engraved with a coiled dragon, with small black chains wrapped around it, resembling some kind of seal.
"Did I do something I shouldn't have?" Eric looked at the lifelike dragon carving on the hilt and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Eric increasingly felt that the Abyssal Blade's upgrade was just as the legendary figure Faust had said.
A Demonic Weapon is a double-edged sword. While continuously absorbing power, the Dreaded Affliction within it also grows stronger. The holder will eventually be consumed by the Demonic Weapon's power.
