Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Most players pursue high burst damage from fire and lightning, or high control from ice.

Light-based attacks have virtually no offensive capabilities.

He then hurriedly opened his backpack and frantically rummaged through it.

"I remember I made a little gadget with light properties before..."

Xu Tian's gaze swept quickly across the rows of top-tier equipment and materials piled up like mountains.

Finally, in a corner cubicle, his eyes lit up.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a ring that he had once considered useless, which had been gathering dust in his backpack for a long time and had almost no presence in his mind.

This is a ring made entirely of an unknown brand of platinum, set with a gemstone that emits a pure, soft, yet not dazzling, golden light.

It is a special piece of jewelry, the Bright Ring.

Speaking of this ring, it's considered a complete joke by all players on the server.

As for why no one has ever used it, or even bothered to waste materials to build it?

The reason is simply because the ring's effect is so weak, it can even be described as useless.

Its equipment description clearly states this.

Aside from actively emitting a bright light for illumination, it has no other additional functions.

Therefore, in this early development stage where land is extremely valuable and materials are incredibly precious, only wealthy individuals like Xu Tian, ​​who have more gold coins than they can spend, would do so to satisfy their obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Chapter 286 The Dusty Ring

Aside from the collector's obsession of wanting to complete the entire mod collection, there really isn't a single normal player in the entire Conquer Online game who would choose to craft such a useless ring.

Even players who, like Xu Tian, ​​had the idea of ​​collecting everything, prioritized crafting other rings that offered substantial combat power improvements when faced with the exorbitant cost, relegating this piece of junk used for lighting to the very end of their plans.

But at this moment, this ring of light, which everyone else despised, became the key to breaking the deadlock in Xu Tian's eyes.

Xu Tian looked at the ring in his hand that emitted a soft golden light, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"Today, let your dusty collection finally put to good use."

Then, holding the Ring of Light in his left hand, he slowly drew out the four-attribute extraction longsword, his main weapon, which he always wore at his waist, with his right hand.

Xu Tian focused his gaze, gripped the hilt of his sword, and opened the panel on the longsword.

"Kick out the fire attribute."

With a low shout, he directly pulled out the most intensely burning crimson flame from the blade of his four-attribute extraction longsword.

At this moment, an attribute slot suddenly appeared on the longsword.

Without pausing, Xu Tian pressed the Ring of Light firmly into the groove on the longsword.

"Extract light properties".

As Xu Tian frantically poured his demonic power into the sword, the array inside emitted a high-pitched roar.

Then, an incredibly powerful suction force erupted from the blade.

The gem on the Ring of Light suddenly shone brightly, and then all the pure light attributes contained within it were forcibly extracted by the domineering longsword.

Those strands of golden light surged wildly along the intricate patterns on the sword's body, enhancing the already sharp blade.

The moment the fusion is complete.

Instantly, the longsword seemed to be infused with a sacred soul, bursting forth with a dazzling golden light even more radiant than the sun in the sky.

The light pierced through the pervasive darkness and gloom of the instance, illuminating the night sky for hundreds of meters around as if it were daytime.

A sacred, vast, and terrifying pressure, filled with the power to purify all evil, surged forth from this brand-new longsword.

At this moment, Xu Tian held the golden longsword in one hand, feeling the terrifying power on the blade that could defeat all darkness and evil spirits, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

He casually swung the sword in mid-air, leaving a long-lasting trail of light in the air.

Xu Tian couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"This attribute extraction is actually quite useful. The freedom is unbeatable. In the future, if I encounter a monster with special resistance or want a counter attribute, I just need to find one with that attribute, extract it, and force it to fuse."

His gaze pierced through the vast distance, locking onto the prey below, marked by the Light Spirit Arrow, which was running for its life.

"Minor Snow, Summer, Winter".

Xu Tian pointed his golden longsword at the fleeing monster below, his voice echoing in the team channel.

"The weakness has been found; stop it."

Upon hearing this tactical instruction, the other three instantly understood Xu Tian's intention.

Since the monster fears the light attribute, and Xu Tian has successfully fused a weapon that counters it, what they need to do now is not to blindly engage in piecemeal attacks, but to do everything in their power to block all of the monster's escape routes and create an excellent opportunity for Xu Tian to kill it with one blow.

"Understood, Captain. You can go without worry. It won't escape today."

Shout loudly on your pet's back in winter.

Without hesitation, the three immediately controlled their flying mounts, which suddenly spread out in mid-air, forming a huge fan-shaped encirclement, and began to rush directly towards the monster that was running away.

"Summer, cooperate with me to block its path."

The crisp, cold sound of wind and snow drifted in the air.

Instead of attacking the thick-skinned, armored monster directly, the three of them unleashed all their furious firepower on the ruins of buildings in front of and on either side of the monster's escape route.

"Cold wave vortex, freeze this ruin for me."

"Fireball, blow up the wall in front."

In an instant, magical light, like a dazzling meteor shower, crashed wildly onto the ground.

With a series of earth-shattering explosions, the three began to destroy the surrounding terrain.

The already dilapidated experimental building collapsed with a roar, the walls shattered, and huge craters were blasted into the ground.

Gravel, broken wood, and thick frost instantly transformed the flat school path in front of the monster into a complex maze of obstacles.

Since he wanted to use his speed advantage to escape, he should completely disrupt the surrounding terrain.

Sure enough, the panicked monster plunged headlong into the ruins maze that the three had artificially modified.

Their original lightning speed was greatly reduced by the deep pits, rubble, and frost from the wind and snow.

Not only did it suffer from the slowdown effect, but it also climbed and jumped in these rugged terrains, greatly reducing its speed, and it could no longer turn into a blur as before.

And in that one second when the monster paused slightly due to the terrain,...

High in the sky, Xu Tian suddenly gripped the longsword that radiated brilliant golden light, and charged out like a god descending to earth.

As Xu Tian flew at high speed in his level 40 Ice Shadow Eagle, his gaze suddenly pierced through the layers of mist, and he clearly saw the monster struggling in the ruins below, with a Light Spirit Arrow stuck in its body.

"Die."

Xu Tian's eyes narrowed, and without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly exerted force with both legs and jumped directly off the back of the Ice Shadow Eagle.

During his freefall in mid-air, Xu Tian gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, raising it high above his head.

He poured all the gravitational acceleration and surging power within his body into this sword strike.

The monster below seemed to sense the deadly threat coming from above. It raised its head in terror, and a golden sword light was reflected in its scarlet eyes.

It instinctively wanted to raise its thick arm to block.

However, before this sword strike imbued with the power of pure light, all defenses of darkness are futile.

"Pfft!"

Xu Tian landed precisely, and the longsword of light in his hand struck the monster's incredibly thick arm covered in black scales with pinpoint accuracy.

Chapter 287 Divine Body Control

The moment the sword made contact with the monster's body, the longsword shone brightly.

The pure light power burned and corroded the monster's proud dark-resistant scales like oil being poured into a raging fire.

The once impenetrable defenses quickly melted away under the golden light.

Then, the monster let out a shrill scream, a sound filled with pain and disbelief.

Under Xu Tian's ferocious downward strike, the monster's arm was sliced ​​off as easily as cutting tofu by the longsword of light.

Blood gushed out wildly from the clean cut, and the thick arm slammed heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the hundreds of thousands of viewers who had been watching the live stream and were initially feeling despair because of the monster's terrifying defense went wild involuntarily, and the chat was instantly flooded with comments.

Holy crap! This damage, this visual effect, it's absolutely mind-blowing!

[A single sword stroke severed an arm! My god, this top player is treating this boss like a pig!]

[Damn, judging by the power of this elemental advantage, it seems that this weird, invisible monster really can only be fought with the unpopular Light element. But, all four of us in the guild just checked our inventory, and none of us had a Light Ring.]

[Oh no, guys! If you haven't gotten in yet, hurry up and leave the party to prepare some Light attribute gear!]

Going in is suicide! Let's hurry out and gather some equipment. If we didn't have the Light's counter, we wouldn't be able to withstand even a single hair from this big boss!

At this moment, looking at the scrolling bullet comments in the upper right corner of their vision, many players were complaining that the Light attribute was too unpopular and that they hadn't prepared for it.

Xu Tian merely glanced at it briefly, his expression focused, and offered no words of comfort.

Because the battlefield is ever-changing, all his attention was now focused on the heavily wounded and trapped beast in front of him.

After landing his blow, Xu Tian landed on his feet and rolled over to dissipate the impact of his fall.

Then, he became like a tireless cheetah, his hands flashing with golden light, and continued to relentlessly and madly kill the monster.

After Xu Tian severed one of its arms with a single sword strike, the monster was immediately gripped by shock and fear.

Its not-so-low intelligence simply couldn't understand how that human, who had just been used as a target in the sky, could suddenly pull out a weapon that made its soul tremble.

And he was able to easily cut off one of his seemingly indestructible arms.

The intense pain and instinctive fear of the golden light completely robbed it of its will to fight. It then turned around recklessly, dragging its broken body, intending to flee.

"Trying to run now? Dream on."

At this moment, Xu Tian gave it no chance to escape.
