Chapter 759 Your Golden Crown, I'll gladly accept it.

In a normal dungeon run, without the involvement of skills like stealing or looting, even if players can temporarily use their own or the enemy's weapons and equipment, they will not receive the corresponding attribute bonuses, let alone be able to take them out of the dungeon.

Normally, only items dropped from treasure chests are considered portable items that have received the space's official approval.

However, some items are special, namely equipment and items that are guaranteed to drop from certain bosses in the original game settings.

A classic example is the two large cleavers wielded by the bald butcher in "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs". In normal gameplay, you can simply attack the opponent to knock away the cleavers, and the player can also control the character to pick up the dropped cleavers and use them to attack people.

Yes, that's right, that's exactly what Fang, who evolved from King O, did.

These equipment and items are guaranteed to drop in the game's setting. If you manage to get your hands on them under the right circumstances, you can bypass the treasure chest and obtain them directly, which can be considered a kind of Easter egg bonus.

The golden crown of Archduke Garibaldi was such an item.

In the game, once the player reduces the Grand Duke's health to about 40% while he is in riding mode, the Grand Duke will abandon his horse and enter his second form. At the same time, he will discard his full-coverage knight helmet form of golden crown.

If the player picks it up immediately, the Golden Crown will restore 100% of the player's health, instantly restoring them to full health even if they are at very low health.

However, it should be noted that if you are slightly delayed and do not pick it up immediately, the golden crown will quickly melt and disappear after flashing a few times.

Previously, the Grand Duke had used a magical shield as a substitute for the broken ritual barrier in order to fight against the zodiacal meteor, but this time, his confrontation with Bazett was a real head-on clash.

After being enhanced by the Wrath of the Trolls, Bazett not only has a strength exceeding 100, but her innate talent of Seal Designated Executor not only allows her to burn mana simultaneously, but also provides an additional attack boost to magician-related classes.

The Grand Duke is a magic knight, a hybrid class, belonging to the category of magicians, and he absorbed this bonus very heavily.

As for the damage Bazett himself sustained from the attack, it has already begun to recover rapidly under Cheng Tian's warm sunlight aura.

The moment the crown fell into Cheng Tian's arms, Cheng, who had not been injured, clearly felt a warm current starting from the crown and quickly spreading across his body. At the same time, the entire crown visibly dimmed and lost its luster.

It's as if this heat flow is the very source of its equipment; without the heat flow, the carrier itself becomes useless.

"A disposable red bottle..."

Cheng, who felt the energy pulsating within his body, was slightly disappointed.

But before he could be completely disappointed, the warm current that should have dissipated after one cycle remained on Cheng Tian's blazing sun mask and eventually merged completely into the mask.

Then a series of space notifications popped up.

Your "Sun Mask" has been enhanced by the essence of the "Golden Crown".

Your Sun Mask's second effect, "Primal Shell," and seventh effect, "Warm Sunshine," have received additional enhancements.

[Primal Shell - Details omitted. Your Primal Shell can be cast on other targets. During its cast, the HP damage taken by the target will be absorbed by your MP at a 1:1 ratio. You can only cast Primal Shell on one unit at a time. When your MP reaches zero or the Primal Shell is remotely detonated, this skill will simultaneously enter a 146-minute cooldown.] [Sunny Sky - Details omitted. Your Sunny Sky Aura, when inactive, will be considered a permanent passive effect that only applies to your single target and will not consume additional MP.]

Cheng Tian's eyes lit up slightly after seeing this series of prompts.

Grand Duke Garibaldi's Golden Crown is a high-level item related to protection and healing, so its essence also enhanced the special effects of the highly compatible Sun Mask.

The seemingly simple enhancement description has brought about significant changes to the special effects.

Since Cheng Tian changed his job to the God of Hearts, the Primal Shell has become useless due to the high damage absorption ratio of the protective barrier, which is as high as 1:10.

With this enhancement, the Primal Shell, which was previously useless, immediately transforms into a "Power Word Shield," which can increase the margin for error for tanks and help squishy characters increase their survivability.

As long as Cheng Tian's mana bar remains active, all damage taken by the shielded unit will be absorbed by Cheng Tian.

Even at a 1:1 ratio, with Cheng Tian's MP now soaring to around 6000, it's equivalent to giving his teammate an extra 6000 HP out of thin air!
How much health does a player who specializes in strength have at this stage?
It is estimated that a considerable number of players who do not have the support of a powerful bloodline may not even have as much health as Cheng Tian.

The only thing to watch out for is Cheng Tian's ability to control the blue ball.

While shielding teammates does increase survivability and margin for error, it also creates a new source of mana consumption for yourself, which can lead to significant unpredictability if you're not careful.

As for the Warm Sun Aura, it's even simpler. When it's not activated, it passively restores health. Once activated, it becomes an aura, which is equivalent to a permanent base health regeneration of 59 points (base strength) per second, as well as the effect of limb regeneration.

Having lost the healing effect of the Golden Crown, Garibaldi's ultimate fate was clearly sealed.

Perhaps because of the presence of Cheng Tian, ​​the leader of the legion, none of the players in the legion used the extreme methods they had used in other dungeons to try and steal damage. Instead, they all restrained themselves and used a series of means such as ranged attacks, curses, and amplification to leave shallow marks on the dying Grand Duke, thus demonstrating their participation in this team battle.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't take action, because at this moment they are being treated as a large team and as a whole.

This is one of the basic benefits of Cheng Tian personally leading a large-scale expedition.

Not all players are strong attackers. As time goes by and the scale of the Legion grows, it will inevitably recruit or train some players who specialize in logistics but have relatively weak combat power. The Legion size assessment in the Great Expedition will ensure that everyone gets a basic guaranteed reward.

...Of course, we also need to find a way to get them to spend their harvest.

Please, Lieblom!
clang~
A crisp yet heavy metallic sound rang out as Garibaldi's golden warhammer fell onto the shimmering, illusory ground.

He raised his right hand as if imitating the severed hand of God, trying to grasp the sun, but ultimately remained frozen in that pose forever.

The exorcism ritual at the moment of eclipse has utterly failed.

Grand Duke Garibaldi has officially fallen.

Cheng also made a statement on this matter—the Demon Gauntlet exerted an extreme attraction on the sinful souls emerging from the Grand Duke's corpse!
