Chapter 190: Explosion! Mana Drain!Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The battlefield was always unpredictable. The three Elementalists from Twelve Zodiacs were in a pinch after they had made up their minds to eliminate the ten-man Angel Faction squad. Not only had they failed to affect the renowned Titanwraith Berserker, but they had also been trapped at the periphery by the mysterious Tier 4 Aquamancer even though they tried to use a few Magic Scrolls to escape.

Although it had been only a short delay of fewer than ten seconds, it had eventually led to the rapid annihilation of their team and the Boss was gradually seized by the enemy faction. On their end, they had been blocked by more than ten Frostramparts, before finally meeting their demise.

With the last Twelve Zodiacs member dead, there were more than ten corpses on the ground of Silentdeath Jungle.

***

These corpses however did not vanish, indicating that they did not choose to automatically resurrect in the city. It also meant that the enemy’s backup was on the way!

Qin Ruo and Slayer’s Heart did notice this situation but gave it no mind as the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon was on the brink of death with only several hundred HP left but their enemies were at least a few kilometers away. Even a player with maximum Movement Speed would not be able to reach there in time. By the time they did, Qin Ruo and his team would have already taken all the loot and leave. Additionally, it was the Mythical Battlefield where traveling was a challenge!

As soon as Violetmoon Devilite resurrected Gold Digger Babe, they saw the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon collapse to the ground, wailing with resentment and despair!

With a bang, the area of a five-meter radius was showered with innumerable coins.

“The drops!”

The ten people who had been on edge heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment however, no one cared about these spectacular gold coins. Brother Da and Dinosaurcerer were staring at the three Dark Gold Equipment and five other Equipment which shone with the same luster as the gold coins.

A huge amount of loot!

As they stared in awe at the equipment on the ground, iLittle Arrow, Little Apple, Gold Digger Babe, and Burning Rose were ordered by Slayer’s Heart to collect the loot from the members of Twelve Zodiacs. Those numerous pieces of Gold Equipment most certainly had good attributes which were worth a lot!

Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid’s eyes fell on the several Dark Gold Equipment briefly, before simultaneously turning their attention to a tattered and ancient-looking book.

Qin Ruo witnessed Slayer’s Heart pick up the book as his eyes widened in surprise. He then frowned, and walked a little, stepping on the gold coins that were scattered all around them. Next, Slayer’s Heart scanned around the area around the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon corpse. After ensuring that there was no Pet Egg, he shook his head and let out a soft sigh.

“If it is a Dark Magic Skill Book, then it is too bad.”

With that said, Qin Ruo knew that Slayer’s Heart was disappointed that there was no Pet Egg…

After all, this was a Dark Magic Skill Book, and it was something that more exciting than the Dark Gold Equipment. Furthermore, it was dropped from the Level 47 Elite Boss. Could it be an inferior item?

While Slayer’s Heart was collecting the five Gold Equipment and three Dark Gold Equipment dropped by the Mutated Darkshadow Archdemon on the ground, Qin Ruo also picked up a black Mana Core and two Magic Scrolls. Next, he started to collect the gold coins on the ground since all these were money!

It took a few minutes for ten of them to search and gather the remaining loot on the battlefield. When they returned back to Savis Town, everybody forgot about going to work or class the next day as they went to the appraisal shop to examine the equipment that the Boss dropped, and then they went to Champion’s Restaurant and rented a single room.

***

“Zephyr Swordmaster’s equipment… Little Apple has this already. Brother Da, it’s yours…”

“… This can be used by Summoners only. Dino you take this.”

The two people originally did not expect to get a share of the loot, but it was the fight with the Demon Faction.

“There are several for Aquamancers… Little Qin, you lucky bastard!”

The four beautiful ladies did not hesitate to hand the equipment to him. Qin Ruo was fortunate enough to have obtained three equipment suitable for Aquamancers. Two of them were Gold and had good attributes.

Qin Ruo received these pieces of equipment from Burning Rose. Even a quick glance at them made him feel astonished. Without hesitation, he unequipped his original equipment and put equipped these three on. After he was done, he was equipped with three Gold and two Violet Equipment—finally appearing like a pro!

However, what made Qin Ruo really excited was not the golden luster on the surface of the equipment, but the useful attributes of these three pieces of equipment as it made him feel like he had come a long way!

The basic attributes of Gold Equipment were equal to two or even three regular equipment. After he switched them out, his Magic Defense shot up from 65 to 91 points, his Physical Damage increased from 57~71 to 97~106, and his cast time had increased from 25% to 35%!

At this moment, Qin Ruo finally had a feeling of becoming a real Tier 4, a pro that stood firm at the pinnacle of Tier 4!

***

This time, it was not just Qin Ruo who had a huge upgrade.

It was a known fact that Brother Da and Dinosaurcer’s equipment were inferior. This time, both of them managed to get good equipment from the seventy-two people from Twelve Zodiacs. These pieces of equipment were much better than their current ones.

Also, even though the two pairs—Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite and Little Apple and Brother Da’s were the same Class, the gap between the quality of their equipment was relatively wide. Hence they did not need to think about the distribution of the equipment as they would be assigned to the one who needed it more.

Violetmoon Devilite and Gold Digger Babe were the two who benefited the most. Violet Orchid already had equipment with excellent attributes, which were way better than the equipment of ten Priests from Twelve Zodiacs. Therefore, she only took a Cloak that increased Healing by 50%, and left the remaining to Devilite. As a result, Devilite was able to gather a set of Gold Priest Equipment. It was because ten Priests were killed simultaneously at that time…

Meanwhile, Gold Digger Babe obtained all the loot of the six Bandits in Twelve Zodiacs’ team, which were three Gold Equipment and three Violet Equipment with good attributes.

After all the loot was distributed, everyone’s shifted their attention to the several appraised Gold and Dark Gold Equipment, and the Magic Skill Book that Slayer’s Heart took out.

Among the five Gold Equipment, one was a Staff for Shadowmancers which increased Dark Element cast time by 5% and Dark Element damage by 5%. The other four were equipment for warriors that had high Defense and HP. These equipment had decent attributes as well.

Of the three Dark Gold Equipment, one of them was the gaiters that Slayer’s Heart could use. It had 47 Physical Defense, 15 Magic Defense, increases max HP by 200 and max MP by 20, and increases Physical Attack by 10%. Additionally, there was an increase to dark and light elemental resistance by 10%.

The level requirement for this equipment was 47, and Slayer’s Heart happened to reached level 47 a few days ago!

As for the other two, one was a Shadowmancer’s cloak, the other was boots. Needless to say that, these basic attributes were higher, and better than the Gold ones! In addition, the former improves Elemental Affinity by 6%, along with the “Darkmist” skill that could be cast instantly, which had excellent attributes. The latter increases Movement Speed by 30% and cast time by 10%. Furthermore, it also increases max HP by 200 and max MP by 50.

The attributes of the three Dark Gold Equipment stunned everyone, especially Bother Da, Dinosaurcerer, Violetmoon Devilite, and Gold Digger Babe who had never seen such a high-level Dark Gold Equipment. They did not even know what expression they should use to inspect these equipment.

However, Qin Ruo’s eyes had been set on the tattered and ancient Magic Skill Book that Slayer’s Heart had placed on the table from the very beginning.

Mana Drain:

Active skill. In the battle, between 10 to 15 MP will be absorbed from the selected target.

Cast time: 2 seconds

Consumption: 2 MP

Cooldown: 6 seconds

Tier 4 Magic Skill Book

Limited to Elementalists

At first glance, this spell that consumed 2 MP to absorb 10~15 MP from the enemy seemed to be somewhat redundant, and did not have much value. However, Qin Ruo did think of it another way round—the attribute of this skill was currently at beginner state. If this spell was at Intermediate, Advance or even Master level, then it could absorb more MP. It would become handy in the future, at least in term of money, he could save a lot on buying potions. Additionally, he was a DPS Class that did not have much base MP in the first place. If Qin Ruo emptied his MP pool and failed to cast his skill, that would be really awkward! The same would be applied to other Elementalists. If an opponent activated Barrier which consumes MP to a certain extent, it would not be difficult to destroy their dual defense after Qin Ruo activates this skill.

However, Qin Ruo also could see that Burning Rose had also taken an interest in this book. This book would draw in any Elementalists!
