Chapter 160 SSS Rank [Shadow Low Magic Staff]
Shadow Low Magic Staff
Rank: SSS
Rating: 60
Attributes: Intelligence +1688, Spirit +1305, Magic Attack +3038
Effect 1: Shadow Domination: Increases the damage of all Shadow skills by 90%, increases casting speed by 35%, and reduces mana cost by 20%.
Effect 2: Life Drain: When dealing damage to a target using Shadow skills, there is a 30% chance to steal 7% of the target's maximum mana and convert it into your own mana, while also stealing 50% of the damage dealt as health (half the effect on players).
Effect 3: Undying Shadow: After successfully casting a Shadow skill, there is a 25% chance to gain an "Undying Shadow" effect that lasts for 8 seconds. This effect can absorb damage equal to 1200% of your Intelligence and grant immunity to one control effect. After successfully gaining immunity, the cooldown of [Star Leap] is refreshed, and the range of Shadow skills is increased by 50% for 5 seconds (this effect can trigger a maximum of once every 15 seconds).
Effect 4: Abyssal Echo: When activated, all Shadow skills cast within the next 15 seconds will always hit (ignoring most regular dodges and blocks, except for special movement and invincibility skills), and these skills will generate "Abyssal Echo," dealing 35% splash damage to all enemies within 5 meters of the primary target. Cooldown: 120 seconds.
Effect 5: Whispering Gaze: Locks onto a target, causing them to take 25% more Shadow damage for the next 6 seconds and preventing them from receiving any healing (including Natural Regeneration, abilities, potions, etc.). Cooldown: 60 seconds.
"hiss--!"
Even with Lin Tian's current knowledge, seeing the incredible attributes of these two SSS-grade equipment pieces, he couldn't help but gasp, his face filled with shock and ecstasy.
"This improvement...it's incredible!"
He stroked the Shadow Primal Staff, feeling its immense power that seemed to resonate with the surrounding shadow energy.
"Base stats have almost doubled, and all effects have received epic buffs! The [Chaos Emblem] now has the god-tier skill 'Source of Chaos,' and the [Shadow Primal Staff] has gained a soft crowd control and damage-boosting effect, 'Whispering Gaze'!"
He could imagine that after equipping these two artifacts, his output and survivability would experience another qualitative leap!
In particular, the staff's "Undying Shadow" effect can refresh the life-saving skill "Star Leap," which undoubtedly gives him more room for maneuver and a higher margin for error.
"Worth it! Those 20,000 upgrade points were totally worth it!"
Lin Tian gripped his staff tightly with excitement; the previous pain had long been replaced by immense satisfaction.
"With these, even if I encounter more Abyss Hunters of the same level as before, I'm confident I can end the battle in a shorter time!"
Examining the two dazzling SSS-grade equipment pieces in his hands, each radiating a breathtaking power, Lin Tian's eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement.
Without any hesitation, he immediately began changing his equipment.
First, he removed the [Tide Staff] (SS grade, level 25) that had been with him for some time and whose attributes were no longer up to par.
Instead, there is the Shadow Low Magic Staff (SSS grade, level 60), which seems to have been sculpted from the shadows of the abyss themselves.
Next, he removed the Crystallized Amulet (SS rank, level 25) from his neck, which provided all attributes and spell vamp.
He put on the [Chaos Emblem] (SSS rank, level 60), which kept changing shape and seemed to seal chaos at its center.
A strange sense of multi-attribute amplification flowed through my body, and my mind seemed to become more active.
After changing his equipment, Lin Tian could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly.
He flexed his fingers and nodded in satisfaction.
"Great! This feels just right."
A confident smile played on his lips as his gaze swept over the rest of his equipment.
"【Robe of the Laws of All Things】, 【Boots of the Void Traveler】... Although they are still SS grade and their attributes are sufficient, the gap between them and SSS grade has begun to appear."
It seems I need to step up my game and upgrade all my current gear to SSS rank as soon as possible!
How powerful will I be by then? It's truly something to look forward to.
His gaze then fell on two other level 60 pieces of equipment he had obtained from Ghost Fang that were suitable for him—the Shadow Weaver's Robe (A-grade, level 60) and the Ghost Boots (A-grade, level 60).
These two pieces of equipment have a high base level, and if they can be upgraded to SSS grade, their attributes will be extremely impressive.
"Unfortunately, we don't have enough upgrade points for now."
Lin Tian glanced regretfully at the meager remaining 100,000 upgrade points.
"Upgrading these two pieces of equipment from A-rank to SSS-rank requires a considerable number of upgrade points."
As for those two [Advanced Soul Crystals], using them directly would be too wasteful. We should wait until we find a suitable recipe or have the ability to upgrade them to a higher grade before using them to maximize their effect.
He kept the plan in mind and waited for his upgrade points to become plentiful again.
With the equipment upgraded, the next step is to directly enhance its attributes.
Lin Tian turned his attention to the more than 150,000 points of Dominator Power he had accumulated.
Without any hesitation, he used his will to drive a massive amount of sovereign power, which began to flow into his intelligence attribute like rivers flowing into the sea!
[Power of Domination -1000... -5000... -10000...]
As the power of domination rapidly diminished, Lin Tian could clearly feel his intelligence attribute increasing at a visible rate.
The number representing his intelligence attribute began to jump wildly on his attribute panel, steadily and firmly climbing upwards.
Finally, when his 156,892 points of Dominator Power were exhausted, his base Intelligence attribute increased by a full 1568 points!
This is just an improvement in basic attributes!
Including the intelligence bonuses from various skills, as well as the percentage bonuses from other equipment and titles, this enhancement actually gave him several thousand points of intelligence attribute gain!
The rapid increase in his strength filled Lin Tian with excitement, but he did not indulge in it. Instead, he quickly turned his thoughts to the next key decision—how to make good use of the remaining improvement points to maximize benefits.
The terrifying buffs from the divine [Enlightenment] skill he experienced last time were still fresh in his mind, which made him even more convinced that investing his precious upgrade points in passive skills that could provide permanent and comprehensive bonuses was the optimal solution at present.
