Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 386: Settlement! [Liberation from Ignorance]

After leaving the Forge Manor, returning to the church and the Holy See.

Luo Xiu returned to the bedroom, had already pulled up the Yaojin barrier, and sat back on the bed.

He had opened his task panel, and the red dot for the item [Liberation from Ignorance (Hell Difficulty)] that could be settled was flickering in front of Luo Xiu's eyes.

He had purified the Seal of Ignorance for all thirty-nine Gravel Dwarves. Now, it was finally time to complete this task.

In Luo Xiu's mind, the panel was given the "settlement" command at the same time.

[Completed the hidden mission: Liberation from Ignorance (Hell Difficulty)]

[You have rescued all the people of the exiled dwarves of the "Grit" clan, and freed them all from the plight of ignorance. This is a sacred act.]

[Get basic completion rewards: Basic experience +470000, free attribute points +12]

[You have purified the Seal of Ignorance for all 39 dwarves of the "Gravel" clan. Mir has given you everything he can give - you have obtained the "Ancient Dragon Secret Treasure", [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter]. Now, you can truly control and use them.]

【…】

"……call."

After calculating [Liberation from Ignorance], Luo Xiu heaved a sigh of relief.

This is the last part of the series of tasks regarding the "Sand and Gravel" clan.

Luo Xiu's eyes were filled with excitement. His right hand was already stroking the bracelet on his left hand, and he took out two "Ancient Dragon Secret Treasures" from it.

The [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and the [Dragon Breath Scepter], they are still wrapped in white cloth. These two holy artifacts worshipped by the "Sand" clan are now finally in my hands.

Luo Xiu carefully tore off the white cloth strips that wrapped around their surface, and the surface that was glowing bright red like a flame gradually came into view, causing Luo Xiu's eyes to feel a stinging pain.

When he finally untied the cloth strips that wrapped the two ancient dragon secrets, the true appearances of the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and the [Dragon Breath Scepter] also jumped into his eyes——

They were two ancient artifacts that were dark red in color and engraved with ancient inscriptions.

The deep flame patterns were still flowing and spreading inside and outside of them, emitting a deep throbbing that seemed to override everything, or burn everything, and destroy everything.

The moment he touched them, Luo Xiu knew that they were all weapons of "legendary" quality.

However, the forging technology belongs to the skills of "ancient dragons", and the powerful performance it can exert is even superior to the "legendary" weapons forged by modern technology.

Luo Xiu then looked carefully at their appearance.

[Dragon Flame Demon Sword] is a demon sword that is almost as long as an arm and is dark red in color.

Scarlet sparks would occasionally burst out from its blade, then turn into ashes in an instant.

The blade is engraved with mysterious flame patterns, and every texture on it contains a very ancient power;

The three spiral-shaped edges of the sword are like three tongues of fire dancing on the sword, and every flip seems to ignite the surrounding air.

The hilt of the sword was carved in the shape of a dragon claw with clear texture and sharp nails. The five claws, shining with deep dark red, were tightly grasping a red object - a "heart" carved from transparent red amber.

While looking at the magic sword in front of him, Luo Xiu also stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the dragon claw sword.

The moment his hand touched and grasped the hilt of the sword, he suddenly heard a dragon's roar like a storm.
A sense of domineering power naturally spread from the hilt of the sword to his whole body, causing Luo Xiu to feel an overwhelming surge of emotions, as if he could already control this power and transform it into a burning dragon flame that would burn everything he saw.

That power was indeed terrifying. Even Luo Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

At the same time, Luo Xiu's panel also showed the weapon panel of the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] he was holding.

Every time a layer of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" is added to the "Dragon Flame Demon Sword", the equipment holder's all-attribute damage increases by 10%, the "Flame" attribute damage increases by an additional 10%, and the "Flame" resistance penetration increases by an additional 10%. 】

When two "Remaining Dragon Vessels" are used or equipped at the same time, some hidden effects may be triggered in certain situations. 】

【…】

This is the weapon panel of the first "Ancient Dragon Secret Treasure" - [Dragon Flame Demon Sword].

After carefully reading the contents, Luo Xiu had only one thought in his mind -

I counted and it was worth it! .jpg
Its panel is not complicated. In fact, it is a simple stacking mechanism. When it is stacked to a relatively high number of layers, it can consume 1 to 3 layers of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" to launch a powerful attack on the enemy.

It was the generous value given by "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" that really surprised Luo Xiu. ——It can cause up to 3500% physical attack + 1500% magic attack "fire" attribute damage, and it has a very high defense penetration and "fire" resistance penetration, which can cause a very high burst damage to the enemy at one time!
This multiplier was already higher than most of the output skills he possessed. His annihilation skill with the highest multiplier, "Golden Starburst", had been upgraded to level 5. Only when all the golden meteorites were blasted away and the damage was effective could this multiplier be achieved!

According to this value, even if your fire resistance has reached 100%, if you use three layers of "Ancient Dragon Soul" to attack yourself, you will lose more than half of your health in one go!

Moreover, the inherent skill of [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" is irreversible and unstoppable.

This means that it cannot be blocked by counterattack skills like "Return of Divine Radiance", nor can it be blocked by skills like "Glory of the Holy Cross" that can knock down all objects and energy in its path.

That means - as long as you launch a powerful attack, the opponent will either have to take it or dodge!

As Luo Xiu thought about it, a fiery, excited light flashed in his eyes like flames.

However, the attribute requirements for equipping this weapon are not low.

Just looking at the two attribute requirements of "strength" and "physique", Luo Xiu's current attributes are still a little short of that.

He planned to wait until he had finalized the weapon panel of the [Dragon's Breath Scepter], and then use the "Double-Faced Doll" to give himself a long-awaited reset in order to completely meet the requirements of equipping two ancient dragon secrets.

"..."

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu closed the weapon panel of [Dragon Flame Demon Sword].

His eyes had already moved to the side, looking at the [Dragon Breath Scepter]—

It was a staff that contained ancient power, and the dark red staff emitted a deep, hidden, burning dark red light in the dim light;

Its slender handle was engraved with ancient inscriptions, and its surface was inlaid and arranged in a spiral shape of dragon scales, giving people a trembling feeling, as if it would suddenly open in the next second and flames would flow out of the gaps;

At the top of the scepter, on the half-open dragon claw pedestal, it was tightly grasping a round pearl stone emitting a dark red light. If one listened carefully, one could hear the roar of an ancient dragon like a tsunami or a storm.

Luo Xiu has stretched out his hand and grasped the long handle of the scepter——

The touch was warm when holding it, and the light emanating from the scepter could even penetrate the back of the hand, reflecting the palm with a fiery red glow;

When he grasped it, Luo Xiu felt a sense of "envelopment" from the inside out, as if it was not him holding the scepter, but the scepter holding him;
At the same time, the feeling was the same as when holding the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword]. That surging, soul-stirring sense of power also flowed out from the scepter.

The red light that shone through the back of his hand had already penetrated his arm, and at the same time, bursts of low, ancient dragon's breath and roars surged into Luo Xiu's ears.

In front of Luo Xiu, the weapon panel of the [Dragon Breath Scepter] also appeared in front of him at the same time -

[Equipment Name: Dragon Breath Scepter (Golden Legend)]

[Equipment type: Scepter/Extraordinary weapon/Ancient dragon weapon]

[Equipment efficiency: spell efficiency increased by 35%, "Fire" damage bonus 35%, "Fire" resistance penetration +35%]

[Equipment bonus: Divine attribute +85, Perception attribute +97, Resistance attribute +32]

[Equipment requirements: any fifth level of destiny, divinity attribute 676+, constitution attribute 124+, perception attribute 255+, resistance attribute 187+]

【…】

Oh my god...

As he browsed the panel, the excitement in Luo Xiu's eyes grew brighter.

——It’s worth counting again for the second round! .jpg
As an ancient dragon weapon belonging to the same series as the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword], there is only one inherent skill between the [Dragon Breath Scepter] and the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] that is significantly different - "Ancient Dragon's Breath", which is a skill that casts scorching dragon breath on a large area forward, and the maximum total damage of 30*150% spell attack + 30*60% physical attack is even higher than the "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" of the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword]!
Moreover, "Breath of the Ancient Dragon" also comes with a hard control effect - the "shock" state imposed on a large area can make enemies with low "resistance" attributes completely unable to move!
As for the minimum attribute value requirements of the [Dragon Breath Scepter], Luo Xiu met all of them.

Now, after all the hard work, he finally got the two "Ancient Dragon Secret Treasures" - the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and the [Dragon Breath Scepter]. After that, he just needs to wait, wait for the moment when the "Great Ancient Dragon" Quesanx appears.

At that time, the "Disaster of Quesanx" that caused heavy losses to the imperial army no longer posed a threat to him.

Even by that time, he would gain an unprecedentedly powerful fighting force.

As Luo Xiu thought about this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He then closed the panel contentedly, then took out the "Double-Sided Doll" from the bracelet and refreshed himself so that he could meet the minimum attribute value requirements of [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] at the same time.

Afterwards, he put the two ancient dragon secrets and the two-faced doll back into the bracelet and prepared to go to the "Holy Abyss - The Lost Royal Court of Isol".

Before embarking on the sacred expedition, this is the last time to go to the "Holy Abyss" to pick up his lovely players.

It just so happens that raising the resonance level of the "Spring of Spirituality" to level IV is just the final step.
