Chapter 37 unexpectedly dropped a Mirror of Copying.
Chapter 37 unexpectedly dropped a Mirror of Copying.
The floor tiles were cracked. Zhao Leiguang zipped up the storage compartment.
One by one, the wooden houses in the town collapsed, and chaotic footsteps echoed from the forest behind. As far as the eye could see, there were monsters. They huddled together, repeating the same phrase: "Get out of our Eden."
There were too many of them; the monsters in the front were pushed forward by those behind, crawling over the bodies of their own kind across the ruins. The streets were blocked, and the dark mass expanded outwards.
Xiao Qianyu held her spear horizontally.
"Using Lu Yan as the center, spread out. Keep clearing within the halo's coverage area."
Lu Yan looked around and chose a clean stone step to sit on. The Eternal Scepter was stuck in the soil beside him, its golden halo steadily emitting light. He took a bottle of water out of his bag and unscrewed the cap.
Lin Chuxue stood to Lu Yan's left. She raised her dueling staff and unleashed a barrage of spells. Blood Mage skills, which normally consumed health, were now completely negated by the 1 health, 10,000 shield mechanism. Zero cooldown, zero cost. Wide-range spells crashed directly into the horde of monsters.
Monsters fell in droves. The orbs of light landed.
Lin Chuxue walked over and picked up a dark golden orb of light, then opened the panel.
[S-Rank - Shadow Robe]
She changed into her robes, and the range of her spells expanded even further.
Zhao Lei, wielding his Earth Pulse dual shields, unleashed a Savage Charge. With the high shield and movement speed bonus, he crashed into the horde of monsters, triggering War Stomp. The monsters in the front row were sent flying, reduced to data fragments.
Three glowing stones rolled out of the ground.
Zhao Leiguang stopped and picked it up.
[Star Fragments x3]
Rare gemstones with unique properties that are no longer available on the market.
Wen Yue held the World-Destroying Thunderclap Crossbow. It didn't fire ordinary arrows. Spread grenades covered the ground, followed closely by high-explosive grenades. The series of explosions drowned out the monster's roar.
Shen Xinglin rode his warhorse, roaming the flanks. His ever-changing attack range bonuses allowed him to unleash his attacks from a safe position. The life steal stat ensured his health remained at full.
Su Yunqing held the Gift of Yao Guang. The maximum number of targets for healing increased by one, and shield regeneration remained uninterrupted. She only needed to stand next to Lu Yan, casting shields on Zhao Leiguang and Shen Xinglin in the front row; the remaining time was even spent organizing her backpack.
Xiao Qianyu knocked a monster away and casually picked up a piece of equipment.
"According to the rules, items that are suitable for personal use should be kept by the user. Any excess should be put back into the warehouse."
Upon hearing this, the group quickened their pace considerably.
Zhao Leiguang's double shields moved with impenetrable force. Lin Chuxue's spell frequency increased to another level.
Lu Yan sat on the stone steps, watching the one-sided crushing defeat unfold before him.
With a hundredfold increase in drop rate and a forced quality upgrade, the number of light orbs on the ground kept piling up. They were golden, orange, and occasionally mixed with dark purple.
The monster horde shows no signs of abating. A relentless stream of monsters pours forth from the depths of the town.
Lu Yan took a sip of water and checked his experience bar on the system panel. It was rising rapidly. At this rate, he'd reach level 40 in no time.
A leader, three times the size of the monsters, emerged from behind the horde.
The leader carried a rusty giant axe, its scales a dark red. It pushed aside the ordinary monsters blocking its path and strode forward.
Xiao Qianyu locked onto her target.
Flash Strike triggered.
She appeared behind the leader. The Crimson Lotus Goddess Spear pierced through the leader's torso.
Draw your gun and back away.
The head was shattered.
A cluster of seven-colored light fell down.
The surrounding monsters were momentarily stunned by the seven-colored halo, slowing their movements by half a beat.
Xiao Qianyu walked over and picked up the glowing prop.
The identification panel pops up.
The Mirror of Replication
[Quality: Myth]
[Effect: Can duplicate any non-unique item, material, or equipment. The duplicate inherits 100% of the original item's attributes. Uses: 1/1]
Xiao Qianyu looked at the instructions on the panel.
Zhao Leiguang leaned closer and peeked inside.
"This thing..." Zhao Leiguang swallowed.
Lin Chuxue stopped casting her spell and walked over.
Shen Xinglin reined in his horse, and it stopped beside him.
Wen Yue put down the crossbow.
Su Yunqing, holding the Gift of Yaoguang, walked to Xiao Qianyu's side.
Several people surrounded the prop with the seven-colored halo.
Mythical level.
Everyone present knew exactly what those three words represented.
In the national treasury of China, the number of mythical-level materials can be counted on one hand. Each and every one of them is a strategic reserve.
This Mirror of Replication can directly replicate a Mythical-grade material.
Or a top-tier piece of equipment.
"Captain," Zhao Leiguang said, "how are we going to divide this?"
Xiao Qianyu put the replica mirror into her storage space.
"Allocate as needed. Keep them for now, and see what core materials we need to replicate later."
The monster frenzy continues.
The attention of the first squad members had been drawn to the mirror.
Since mythical-level items can drop, it means that the output potential of this S-level secret realm is much higher than they expected.
Lu Yan stood up and patted the dust off his pants.
"Don't just stand there, the monster is charging at us!"
The group of people came to their senses.
The battle continues.
Zhao Leiguang was at the very front. The area trampled by the war had expanded considerably, and he alone held off half the monsters on the street.
Lin Chuxue's magic transformed into a true artillery turret. With the enhancement of the Shadow Robe, her damage output skyrocketed.
Wen Yue laid out the grenade net even denser.
Xiao Qianyu's Crimson Lotus Goddess Spear weaved through the monster horde. Dark red afterimages blurred together.
Lu Yan pulled out the Eternal Scepter, changed its position, and reinserted it.
The halo's coverage area shifted forward by twenty meters.
The spheres of light on the ground had formed a glowing carpet.
Lu Yan activated the filter, converting all equipment below Grade A into energy crystals.
He slowly and methodically picked through the remaining high-quality equipment.
Put away the S-grade jewelry.
Keep the Dark Gold grade general-purpose materials.
The battle lasted for two hours.
The town's streets were completely cleared.
The last monster fell and turned into fragments.
Zhao Leiguang plopped down on the ground, tossing the two shields aside.
"I'm exhausted."
Lin Chuxue leaned against the wall, her staff planted on the ground.
Shen Xinglin dismounted from his horse and fed it a handful of energy fodder.
Wen Yue sat on the steps, checking the durability of the crossbow.
Su Yunqing restored everyone's status to full.
Xiao Qianyu walked to Lu Yan's side.
Is your experience bar full?
Lu Yan brought up the control panel.
"Level 42".
I leveled up seven times in two hours, but it got slower and slower as I progressed.
This speed, if displayed outside, would make all awakened beings question the meaning of life.
"Keep going deeper into the town." Xiao Qianyu looked into the heart of the town.
There is a dilapidated church there.
Several enormous flying monsters hovered atop the church spire.
Lu Yan put away the Eternal Scepter.
"Let's go."
After resting, the first squad advanced towards the church.
Occasionally, a few lone monsters would dart out from the houses along the way.
They were all dealt with by Zhao Leiguang in a casual manner.
The closer you get to the church, the more intact the surrounding buildings appear.
The stone-paved road has been transformed into a plaza paved with marble.
There is a fountain in the center of the square.
The fountain wasn't flowing with water, but with a red liquid.
It emitted a pungent, bloody smell.
Several winged monsters lay by the fountain, their heads bowed as they drank the red liquid.
Hearing footsteps, the monster raised its head.
Their faces are exactly like humans', but they have two sharp horns on their foreheads.
"Succubus," Lu Yan said, uttering a name.
Xiao Qianyu gripped the spear tightly.
Succubi primarily use mind control in their attacks and have very low physical defense.
But if there are too many, it will be very troublesome.
"Su Yunqing, prepare for purification," Xiao Qianyu ordered.
Su Yunqing nodded, and the Gift of Yaoguang shone with white light.
The succubus screamed and pounced.
Zhao Lei raised his shield to meet the attack.
A succubus bypassed Zhao Leiguang and headed straight for Lu Yan.
Lu Yan stood still.
The succubus's claws were still half a meter away from him when a dark red afterimage flashed past.
The succubus was cut in two.
Xiao Qianyu put away her gun.
Lu Yan took out a bottle of water and took a sip.
The succubus cleans up very quickly.
Su Yunqing's purification skill completely neutralized the succubus's mind control.
The weakness of low physical defense is magnified infinitely.
Lin Chuxue's magic killed a whole group of people with a single strike.
The square was quickly cleared out.
Pink orbs of light fell to the ground.
Lu Yan walked over and picked one up.
The Ring of Enchantment
[Quality: S-grade]
[Effect: Increases mental resistance and grants the active skill 'Charm'.]
Lu Yan tossed the ring to Lin Chuxue.
"The monk will find it useful."
Lin Chuxue caught the ring and put it on her hand.
