Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 1848

Chapter 1848

Chapter 1848 – Ancient Demon

“Guild Leader, did you find something good?” Aqua Rose asked curiously as she watched Shi Feng’s blank expression .

The rest of the team turned to look at Shi Feng, as well, anticipation flashing in their eyes . They all wanted to know what kind of treasure a Fine-Gold Treasure Chest had to offer .

A Fine-Gold Treasure Chest was almost impossible to find in Level 50-plus maps . The best players normally found were Secret-Silver rank . Meanwhile, even Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chests could cause a heated struggle between Guild teams .

The higher-quality treasure chest players found, the more of a commotion activating the treasure chest would cause . In turn, this would lead to more players finding out about the treasure chest . Moreover, after players acquired the items inside a treasure chest, there was a two-hour period when the items would be guaranteed to drop upon death . Hence, whenever a treasure chest appeared in the fields, a slaughter would soon follow .

Fortunately, Zero Wing’s team didn’t have to worry about being attacked . After all, this place was the Flame Demon’s Valley . The only other players that might see the glow from the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest were the Ninth Heaven members .

Even if other players with hostile intentions discovered them, they had no fear that anyone would try to rob them .

“Something good has dropped,” Shi Feng said, laughing . He then retrieved the Flame Demon’s Crown and shared its statistics in the team chat .

…

[Flame Demon’s Crown] (Head, Fine-Gold Rank)

Equipment Requirement: Strength 800, Agility 800, and Intelligence 800 Defense +100 Additional Passive SkiH-

Flame Demon’s Body: Allows the wearer to gain the body of a Flame Demon, increasing Fire Resistance by 200 and becoming immune to burning effects .

Additional Active SkiH-

Flame Avatar: Becomes immune to all flame damage for one minute .

Cooldown: 10 minutes

…

After reading the Flame Demon’s Crown’s details, the team lost their prior excitement .

“Guild Leader, this crown is a scam . Not only does it have such a high equipment requirement, but it doesn’t actually offer any Basic Attributes . The only good thing about it is its high Fire Resistance, but it isn’t worth sacrificing everything else . ”

“I feel the same . The monsters in harsh environments are generally very powerful . Although this crown can provide sufficient Fire Resistance to survive in these maps, without the Basic Attributes, you’ll have a difficult time dealing with monsters . It would be much better to equip several pieces of equipment that provide less Fire Resistance but have significant Basic Attributes . ”

“Its defensive properties are even more important . No matter how I look at this crown, it doesn’t seem to have any . ”

Everyone quickly discerned the pros and cons of the Flame Demon’s Crown .

Even Level 50 Common cloth armor had more than 100 Defense . The Flame Demon’s Crown’s Defense was practically a useless decoration .

In addition, losing the Basic Attributes from a piece of equipment would reduce a player’s Attributes by around 10% . This would cause at least a 20% reduction in combat power . Moreover, due to the lack of Defense in the head section, others would have a weakness to exploit . If one were struck in the head, it was entirely possible that they’d suffer a Fainted state .

As God’s Domain continued to update, the equipment players wore would have greater importance . Equipment would play a role in a player’s defense beyond Basic Attributes .

Take two players with the same Defense, for example . If one of these players wore chest armor while the other player did not, the player without a chest piece would receive more damage when struck in that area and suffer additional negative effects .

If a player took a blow to the head, they would feel dizzy and powerless, and their reactions would become sluggish . If one were stuck in the arm, it would go numb and become difficult to move .

There were subtle differences in the negative effects depending on the materials of their equipment, as well . An attack’s impact was one such example .

During the early stages of the game, these negative effects were barely noticeable, but as players took on higher-leveled monsters, these negative effects would become more prominent . As a result, players would have to choose their equipment carefully . It wasn’t enough to prioritize Basic Attributes . Players also needed to focus on their equipment’s compatibility and defensive properties .

Meanwhile, the Flame Demon’s Crown, made of fire with a pitiful 100 points in Defense, clearly didn’t have any . It was a costume piece at best . If one equipped the Flame Demon’s Crown during battle, they’d be asking for an early death .

Shi Feng simply revealed a bitter smile as he stored the Flame Demon’s Crown .

He had to admit that his Guild members’ standards had significantly improved . Their understanding of weapons and equipment was no longer limited to Basic Attributes . Unfortunately, they were still somewhat ignorant

This didn’t particularly surprise Shi Feng . His teammates were still relatively low-leveled, after all . They still didn’t fully understand Resistances . They did not know just how valuable a piece of equipment capable of increasing Fire Resistance by 200 points was .

Among the items in the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest, the Flame Demon’s Crown was easily more valuable than the other items combined .

By the time mainstream players had reached Level 100 and beyond in the past, a Flame Demon’s Crown had sold for a whopping 5,000 Gold . With that amount of money, one could purchase an Epic Equipment with poor Attributes . Even so, players rarely sold their Flame Demon’s Crowns .

Equipment that added 200 Fire Resistance was extremely rare . Most importantly, the Flame Demon’s Crown’s Flame Demon’s Body allowed its wearer to become immune to burning effects . In other words, no matter how hot an environment was, players would not suffer any negative effects . They could maintain their combat power at its peak .

Of course, due to the Flame Demon’s Crown’s glaring weakness, it was only suitable for expert players . Ordinary players would be better off wearing several pieces of equipment that provided both Basic Attributes and Fire Resistance .

Ordinary players already fought to get their Basic Attributes up to standard and as a result, struggled against monsters and in Team Dungeon raids . They would be asking for trouble by using a piece of specialized equipment like the Flame Demon’s Crown . However, expert players were different . They would easily have enough Basic Attributes even without wearing a headpiece . When fighting in sweltering environments, it was far more important for expert players to have high Fire Resistance .

Hence, during the later stages of the game, the various large Guilds’ main force members had stopped focusing on Basic Attributes . Instead, they had prioritized Resistances and physique .

Moreover, the Flame Demon’s Crown was like an entry pass to the Flame Demon’s Valley . As long as one had a Flame Demon’s Crown, they could travel anywhere within the valley . They wouldn’t even have any issues exploring the flaming valley’s core .

Originally, Shi Feng had worried that he didn’t have enough Fire Resistance to survive in the central area, but now that he had the Flame Demon’s Crown, he wasn’t concerned . Now, only the Flame Demon King himself would be a problem . In God’s Domain, the Flame Demon King was categorized as a World Boss .

Counter to most expectations, World Bosses were not much stronger than ordinary Field Bosses . The system did not grant World Bosses any special traits, either . However, they did have full control over their territories .

While in a World Boss’s territory, players would be prevented from using Magic Scrolls and magic arrays . It wasn’t even possible to use magical tools . At most, players could use their weapons and equipment’s Skills . It was a nightmare for most players .

After emptying the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest, Shi Feng and the others continued towards the central region . After traveling for a little over an hour, they finally arrived before a fiery world . White-hot flames danced along the mountain range before them . The ring of mountains resembled a burning sun, making it difficult to look at .

“This place is so hot!” Blackie exclaimed as he looked at the flaming mountain range . Despite standing some distance away from the mountain range, he felt as if like roasting meat .

Everyone on the team felt the sweltering heat . Even walking exhausted their Stamina .

Meanwhile, a gigantic figure wielding a trident patrolled the center of this mountain ring . Every one of this figure’s movements stirred the flames around it as lava rose into the air . Even from several thousand yards away, Zero Wing’s team could feel the figure’s fierce aura .

When they saw the Flame Demon King’s true appearance, they couldn’t help their gasps .

Even Shi Feng was shocked .

…

[Flame Demon King] (Elemental Creature, Ancient Fiend, Mythic) Level 83

HP 720,000,000/720,000,000

…

An Ancient Fiend?! How is this possible?! Shi Feng was indescribably shocked when he saw the Flame Demon King’s statistics . Shouldn’t it be an Archaic Species?
