Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God

Chapter 675 - Bountiful Loot

After Shi Feng clicked to evolve the Abyssal Blade, the golden crystal in his hand suddenly atomized, transforming into a stream of golden mist that flowed into the Abyssal Blade.

Suddenly, the Abyssal Blade began to tremble and emit a flickering golden light.

A short moment later, the Abyssal Blade’s exterior also began to transform.

The silver sword darkened to pitch-black once more. This time, however, eye-catching, bright red runes covered the sword’s blade.

This is an evolution?

Shi Feng was stunned. He could clearly feel that the Abyssal Blade had changed massively. His compatibility rate with the Magic Weapon had particularly increased. It felt as if the weapon had been tailored for him.

However, unlike the Abyssal Blade’s usual commotion when it leveled up, the weapon had not changed beyond its appearance. It was simply inconceivable.

Immediately, Shi Feng investigated the Abyssal Blade’s Attributes.

The master smith Olysses personally created the Abyssal Blade using the Black Dragon King’s fangs as material. It is one of thirty-six Famed Swords, ranking 31st. However, the Black Dragon King himself has cursed this sword. Beyond the immense strength the blade offers, the wielder must face a Backlash after a certain amount of time. However, after Jack had remodeled the Abyssal Blade with a Star Crystal, the strength of the Backlash has reduced greatly. If the wielder is unable to suppress the Backlash, the wielder will receive the Black Dragon King’s curse, permanently reducing all Attributes by 50%.

Unable to be dropped.

Unable to be traded.

So this is what an evolution looks like. Shi Feng finally understood what was going on.

The Abyssal Blade’s evolution had only provided minor improvements in terms of Attributes. However, it had increased the Tiers of the Magic Weapon’s Additional Skills, upgrading them from Tier 0 to Tier 1 Skills. It was similar to how players upgraded their Skills.

Only, while players required Skill Proficiency to upgrade their Skills, the Abyssal Blade required Mana Crystals.

Although the Additional Skills had not improved much after the evolution, the Skills would now be more effective on high-tiered monsters.

But this Mana Crystal was not easy to obtain. It only drops from 100-man Hell Mode Team Dungeons, and its drop-rate is really low. Shi Feng smiled bitterly. It was not easy to raid 100-man Hell Mode Team Dungeons. Not to mention, there was only a chance for a Mana Crystal to drop from each raid. If one did not have the support of a powerful Guild, it was practically impossible to evolve their Magic Weapon.

Although the Abyssal Blade’s evolution had been an unexpected windfall for Shi Feng, the Frost Giant’s other loot was extremely bountiful as well.

Shi Feng spent over a dozen minutes organizing the loot. In total, they had obtained 26 weapons and equipment pieces in this raid. Aside from one Epic weapon, two Tier 1 Weapons, eight Dark-Gold Set pieces, and seven Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment had dropped. The remaining non-material items were Fine-Gold Set pieces.

The harvest this time really is massive. Not only did an Epic item drop, but we also obtained two Tier 1 Weapons. Shi Feng immediately began appraising the Epic item and Tier 1 Weapons.

Among the many weapons and equipment pieces that dropped, the Epic item definitely ranked first in terms of value. The Tier 1 Weapons followed closely behind.

Aside from Epic Weapons, a Tier 1 Weapon was the best weapon available for a Tier 1 class. Although Tier 1 Weapons were only slightly superior to Dark-Gold Weapons in terms of Attributes, they specifically catered to a single class. Hence, these weapons allowed players to exert more of their strength in combat.

When Shi Feng shared these weapons and equipment pieces’ statistics, the team forgot about their joy of claiming the First Clear of Hell Mode completely.

“This Epic Plate Armor is insane! This is perfect for dealing with Agility-focused Bosses and players!” Cola stared at the armor, mesmerized.

MT classes were not particularly agile. With the Frost Domain, however, MTs could make up for this weakness, their strength reaching a whole new level.

“Now that you’ve seen the items for yourselves, let’s start the team auction,” Shi Feng announced.
