The Great Thief - Chapter 579

Chapter 579

Lu Li stepped onto the Altar as per Krug’s request .

The air above the altar felt a lot thicker . Some of it was drifting away, but Lu Li knew that it was energy condensing around him .

Compared to the Twilight Altar and the Altar of Tides that he had used to upgrade the ring previously, this altar was of a much higher quality . The guardians of the altar were also much stronger – five Scythe Claw Druids .

Krug may not have been as powerful as Remulos, but he had been involved in the battle against the Burning Legion . His four subordinates must have also defeated thousands of Undead to have survived .

To still be alive was clear proof of their strength .

The ring became hot and Lu Li seemed to see countless magical elves singing softly around him . No matter what the result was on this altar, Lu Li had to admit that what he could receive as a Thief would never be as much as if he was a Mage .

If he was a Mage or Warlock, such an altar blessing could permanently improve his magical power .

System: Obtained the blessing of Bloodfang Worgen . An EXP and Glory reward has been acquired . Resistance to magic increased by 1% . Resistance to natural magic increased by 5% permanently .

If a Thief could only increase their magic resistance, then surely a magic profession could directly increase their magic damage .

The 1% resistance increase didn’t seem like much now, but when his base resistances got higher, its true effect would be revealed . This was a long-term investment that was actually very powerful .

The 5% resistance to natural magic was targeted against Druids and Shamans . Most skills from these two professions involved natural magic .

This altar had been repaired by the Scythe Claw Druids, so naturally, their attributes would be a big part of it .

However, that wasn’t all – he also received an EXP increase . Lu Li had stood on the altar for 5 minutes and his EXP had gone from level 38 at 7% to 87% . He had received exactly 80% EXP .

To gain 80% EXP while at level 38 probably required five days of farming . Even with the guild’s Mages, it would take at least three days .

In a short five minutes, he had saved himself 5 days of hard work .

Lu Li finally understood why Keeper of the Grove Remulos didn’t take the ring from him .

Without the ring, how could he possibly have received these blessings?

Lu Li only needed two more days of casual farming before he could reach level 39 . While others were rushing to get to level 35, he was already considering reaching level 40 .

Of course, that was just a minor matter . He was more concerned about other things .

Supreme Four Ring (Epic): Agility +50, Strength +30, Constitution +30, Critical Hit +30%, Vampirism +30% .

Special Effect 1: King of the Jungle’s Protection, Instant Cast . Summon a natural Shield that absorbs all damage in one attack for the caster . 6 hour cooldown .

Special Effect 2: King of the Jungle’s Blessing . Stealth +30% .

Special Effect 3: King of the Jungle Cenarius has granted you a special ability . You are able to learn three Druid Transformation skills and four skills within those transformations .

Equipment Requirement: None

Durability: None

When he saw that the name of the item had become purple, Lu Li’s breathing became a little faster .

After experiencing countless hardships to collect all the rare materials, he had finally seen the pay-off .

He was satisfied!

Lu Li was extremely happy with the current attributes of the Supreme Ring .

The original three attributes had all been increased by 20 . Strength and Constitution both reached 30 while the Agility soared to 50 . The increase of these three attributes alone would have significantly increased Lu Li’s strength .

There was also 30% Critical Hit and 30% Vampirism!

He really couldn’t be happier . His critical hits were basically capped out now – when he attacked an ordinary monster, every one in three hits would be a critical hit .

The Supreme Ring had a Vampirism attribute at one point, but it was lost at the Altar of Tides when he upgraded it .

However, with these five powerful Scythe Claw Druids, he didn’t lose a single attribute while also regaining the Vampirism attribute .

If he was fighting a monster that was at the same level as him, Lu Li could farm it without taking any consumables, as long as it didn’t have particularly high attack .

In fact, when most players were farming, a considerable part of their time was spent eating bread, fruit and other supplies to regenerate themselves .

Even most tycoons couldn’t afford to pay to take potions while farming .

For example, the Intermediate Health Potion could be used in battle, but it was still ridiculously expensive . Ordinary players were only willing to drink two bottles when fighting a Boss or in a life-saving situation .

Lu Li was most satisfied with the new effect, which was a legendary invincibility effect .

King of the Jungle’s Protection, Instant Cast . Summon a natural Shield that absorbs all damage in one attack for the caster . 6 hour cooldown .

Although it was only one attack, there was no upper limit to what it could absorb . Lu Li could even face an attack from Malfurion or Medivh and be guaranteed not to die .

After all, the game had to pay crucial attention to game balance .

From the moment of his rebirth, Lu Li had benefited from this ring . It was inseparable from Lu Li’s efforts and achievements . He had achieved countless First Clears, built a large guild and found many rare materials .

"Oh, I see you are satisfied . " Krug was happy to see that Lu Li was happy .

The originally energy-filled altar was now dim . It seemed like it needed new materials, even only after a short period of use .

"I will remember my promise to complete the quest as soon as possible," Lu Li said .

"Thank you, young man . We’ve been here for endless years, so we don’t expect too much . However, if you receive a punishment for failing the quest, we will try our best to compensate you," Krug kindly said .

The Worgen’s Curse quest would decrease his levels by 3 if he failed . It was the most punishing quest he had ever received in his life .

Lu Li felt like he was indebted towards this Bloodfang Worgen, but Krug felt a similar sheepishness towards Lu Li . He felt like Lu Li didn’t have the strength to complete this quest, so he would destined lose his levels . That was why he allowed Lu Li to stand on the altar, and even volunteered to put more energy into the upgrade .
