Chapter 96 The Transformation of the Demonic Weapon
After Abyssal Blade finished upgrading and choosing the weapon to devour,suddenly, a dragon roar emanated from Abyssal Blade, and several streams of Black Flame emerged from the sword. The Black Flame transformed into a dragon head and began devouring the weapon, bite by bite.
In the blink of an eye, 11 Dark Iron Level Weapons were completely consumed by the Black Flame. All their essence flowed into Abyssal Blade's body, making it no longer resemble a burning iron rod but instead exuding a faint, cold sharpness. The color of the blade became more subdued, resembling a cherished sword that had been sealed away for years.
As Eric held it once again, he noticed that the Abyssal Blade had grown heavier, and a cool sensation coursed through his hand as he gripped the hilt. He then swung the sword a few times. The air seemed to be sliced open like paper, producing a tearing sound.
The weapon shop owner, an expert in forging, was dumbfounded upon seeing this scene, almost pulling out his goatee in shock.
A seemingly ordinary weapon turned out to be so sharp that it could easily rival Adamantite Level Weapons. If a player used it properly, it might even cut through Bronze Level weapons with a single strike.
"Good sword!" Eric exclaimed as he swung it a few more times. He felt that the sword had become more suitable for him after the upgrade and then checked Abyssal Blade's attributes.
Abyssal Blade, One-Handed Sword, Demonic Weapon.
Attack Power: 39.
All Attributes +14.
Attack Speed +5.
The Abyssal Blade had the unique ability to ignore five levels of monster levels. Additionally, it possessed a 15% chance to deal double damage and a 10% chance to inflict a Doom Curse, which would reduce all attributes by 40% for a duration of 30 seconds.
For Swordsman class holders, all skill levels +2, and gained two extra free attribute points per level.
Equipment Level: 5, Upgradable (can be upgraded to level 10 by devouring ten level 10 Bronze Level Weapons and one level 10 Dark Iron Level Weapon), Evolvable (unknown).Attached Skill 1, Phantom Slay: Instantly creates a clone with 50% of the original's attributes and all skills, lasting 35 seconds, with a 5-minute cooldown.
Attached Skill 2, Abyssal Bind: Binds the enemy, preventing movement and reducing defense by 100%. Lasts 3 seconds, with a 1-minute cooldown.
Attached Skill 3, Nine Dragon Cleave: Instantly creates nine phantoms of Abyssal Blade for the holder to use, each dealing 30% damage, lasting 24 seconds, with a 5-minute cooldown.
Crafted by master Osiris using the Black Dragon King's fang as material, this renowned sword was one of the thirty-six legendary swords in Divine Realms: Legends, ranking thirty-first. However, it was cursed by the Black Dragon King. Besides granting the holder incredible power, it would periodically backfire on the holder. If the backlash could not be suppressed, the holder would be cursed by the Black Dragon King, permanently reducing all attributes by 50%. It could not be dropped and traded.
These attributes had significantly improved. The attack power alone rivaled that of 5th-level Dark Iron Level two-handed weapons. Adding the basic attributes, it surpassed many 5th-level Mithril Level two-handed weapons.
A One-Handed Sword that possessed the devastating power of a two-handed weapon, while still maintaining a lighter and faster design.This was the terror of a Demonic Weapon, a feat only a master craftsman could achieve.
This made Eric look forward to the Abyssal Blade's upgrade to level 10.
Originally, he planned to sell the 10th-level Adamantite Level greatsword obtained from the Sun Temple, but now he reconsidered. If the Abyssal Blade were to consume a 10th-level Adamantite Level greatsword, one can only imagine the extent of its potential improvement.
However, Eric knew that relying solely on one weapon for an overall improvement wouldn't be enough. At least ten 10th-level Mithril Level Weapons were needed. Now, even Dark Iron Level Weapons were rare, let alone the precious Mithril Level Weapons. After putting away Abyssal Blade, Eric took out a return scroll and started to teleport back to Willowbrook Town. If he had to run back, there was no doubt that he would be late, and the thought of making Ice Goddess wait filled him with apprehension as he pondered the possible consequences.
In the Willowbrook Town, Trade District, Eric modified the appearance of his Silver Moon set to look like a mismatched set of Bronze Equipment after returning to his original form.
. If he reverted to the original appearance, Isabella would definitely notice something was off, and he wouldn't be able to explain it."Eric, we're over here," Tonny shouted, standing up as he saw Eric approaching.
The others also stood up to greet Eric, looking at him with grateful eyes. If it weren't for Eric having Tonny bring them along, they wouldn't have leveled up to 5 so quickly and would still be struggling at the lower levels.
Most high-level players were around level 4, with a few reaching level 5, but their equipment was subpar. The lucky ones might have one or two pieces of mediocre Bronze Equipment. Only top players wore six or seven pieces of Bronze Equipment, while they had seven or eight pieces.
They were already very grateful and decided to stick with Eric. Unexpectedly, Tonny was willing to sign a contract with them, allowing them to join Aether Wing Studios as official members with a monthly salary of 4000 credits.
They weren't gaming novices and understood the advantages of being official members of various studios. Even in top-ranked studios in the city, official members only had a monthly salary of 3000 credits, and many high-level players fought to get in. As new players, they were offered a 4000 monthly salary, which felt like a dream.
Although they asked to lower the salary, Tonny firmly refused, saying it was Eric's decision and couldn't be changed.
They had no choice but to sign the contract, officially becoming members of Aether Wing Studios.
Despite their current success, they knew their own capabilities.Joining a studio seemed nearly impossible for them. Even becoming peripheral members was considered fortunate, let alone being accepted as official members.
Eric glanced at everyone's equipment. With his years of experience, he could roughly guess the attributes. The basic attributes definitely surpassed many small guilds' elite members, but it wasn't enough. "Let's head to the warehouse first."
Everyone was puzzled. What were they going to do at the warehouse at this time?
But no one asked further and followed him.
At the bank warehouse, Eric took out all the equipment they could use. These were all obtained from opening chests in Luminescent Grove, each with excellent attributes.
Everyone was stunned. They had been grinding monsters and had even killed several elite monsters, but all the equipment they had gotten combined couldn't compare to what Eric had obtained alone. The quality was significantly superior, with all equipment being level 5 Bronze Equipment, surpassing by far the level 2 or 3 equipment they had previously obtained.
"Eric, how many elite monsters did you kill!" Tonny exclaimed in amazement, but he didn't hesitate to change into the new equipment. His gear was now only slightly inferior to a level 5 Bronze Level Outfit, but his staff was level 5 Dark Iron Level, making up for the difference.
The others also changed into the new equipment, significantly boosting their basic attributes, surpassing those of major guilds' elite members.
With their updated gear, they felt confident even in tackling a twenty-man raid. After checking everyone's attributes, Eric nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go."
