Lich's Mercy

"Warning: The Black Crystal World is undergoing self-repair. In its current state, the Black Crystal Will's emotions are inclined towards pain and rage. Please remain where you are and do not move..."

"Good heavens..."

"Was the whole world almost split in two?"

Silently watching the 'space' around them fall like shards of glass.

Roger felt somewhat guilty.

As the open user of the Great Dimensional Slash.

His special mission was actually a product favored by the Black Crystal Will.

What he's worried about now is...

His three strikes nearly shattered the Black Crystal World.

Would the Black Crystal Will not renege on the mission reward? Fortunately, he stayed in place for a long time.

There was no indication that the Black Crystal Will was about to turn its back on them.

Roger's mind calmed down a little.

Looking around.

The Celestial God Duel Arena has long since disappeared.

The Dark Ruins of the Ancient Steel Dragon have also been turned into a jigsaw puzzle of broken pieces.

Roger was surrounded by large swaths of darkness.

In that darkness.

It is inhabited by countless terrifying creatures and spacetime vortexes.

in this case.

Roger could only stand there motionless! He had to wait until the Black Crystal World had finished repairing itself.

Only then will he have a chance to find a way out!

After calming down.

There's nothing else to do anyway.

Roger then continued to count the spoils of war.

The first thing is the information about the newly loaded vehicles.

"Ghostfire (2D Version/ Ascension-grade Vehicle)"

Movement Speed: 10

Wall Index: 30

Impact damage: 4

Special Skill 1: Mountain Crossing and Valleys

"Mountain Crossing: In this mode, the Ghostfire will have extremely strong off-road capabilities. As long as the speed is sufficient, you can even go up at a right angle to the ground."

It can also drive upside down on the ceiling.

Stunt 2: Lightning Speed

"Lightning Speed: In this mode, the Ghostfire will charge at full speed, crushing the 64 squares in front of it back and forth at top speed (at least 3 times)."

Cooldown: 240 seconds

Stunt 3: Motorcycle Station

"Motorcycle Station: In non-vehicle mode, the Ghostfire can be disassembled into a simple safe house."

You can rest in the safe house.

You can also restore a character's Wall Index in a safe house.

Wall Index recovery speed: 1 point/1 minute

Note: In vehicle mode, you can only use your primary weapon in combat.

"That's pretty impressive!"

After reading the attribute description of the Ghostfire.

Roger's eyes lit up.

The Ghostfire now comes with a whopping 40 points of Wall Index! Riding it on the road is even more powerful than having 4 Fortresses as a bonus!

Even more outrageous is...

You can even throw marbles while riding this thing!

Roger's own movement speed was already quite fast.

Once mounted on the Ghostfire, it surged ahead of everyone else.

This will be very helpful in the Kiting battles that may occur in the future!

Not to mention the powerful AOE attack "Lightning Speed" and the safe house function that the Ghostfire also comes with.

The former can quickly clear out small monsters.

The latter can serve as a backup facility to provide Roger with the best possible endurance.

It's about fighting.

How could it not lose blood?

Even a master like Roger, with his skillful maneuvers and lightning-fast movements, is not immune to bumps and bruises.

At this time.

The effectiveness of restoring the Wall Index for Motorcycle Station is very important!

all in all.

This new Ghostfire perfectly meets Roger's needs for venturing into the Two-Dimensional World.

Moreover, its appearance is also very cool.

A jet-black metal casing.

A ghostly blue flame effect.

A magnetic and powerful engine sound.

If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding space was shattered.

Roger really wanted to ride it around for a bit right now!...

There are new Ghostfire.

Roger naturally had no interest in the "Deep Blue Nightmare" with its strange requirements.

After casually stuffing it into the Tinder Pouch.

He then looked at another piece of spoils he had acquired from Quentin!

That's a giant cannon!...

"Portable Self-Priming Storm Cannon (Artillery/Secondary Weapon)"

Note: Leave it wherever you like.

It can be placed anywhere there is air.

You can fire the cannon 10 seconds after placing it.

At the start, it will unleash a one-time blast of blasts on a 128-square straight area in front of it.

The damage of the Storm Cannon depends on the distance and impact decay.

The base value is 6~12"

Cooldown: 18 seconds

This is an extremely rare weapon.

What makes it rare is not only that it is a weapon applicable to the Two-Dimensional World.

More importantly, it is a purely "secondary weapon"! This means...

The Storm Cannon will not affect the main Weapon Column in the Gambler's Roulette.

Roger placed it in the long-vacant secondary Weapon Column.

In the Two-Dimensional World, firing a cannon at the slightest disagreement has become a backup option.

This thing is not only simple and brutal, but also deals high damage.

Its biggest advantage is its affordability.

It requires no gunpowder or other energy sources as a supply.

All you need is air.

This type of prop.

Naturally, it was Roger's favorite.

"We have new Ghostfire and Storm Cannon..."

"From now on, my efficiency in clearing mobs won't be much worse than that of the sprites."

Roger pondered to himself.

in this case.

The "Elf Summoning Stream" build has lost another competitive element.

If the second character card hadn't been activated yet...

Roger should consider changing his deck composition right now!

that's all.

Roger, amidst the surrounding darkness and silence, took stock of Quentin's fortune.

If his initial feeling was one of surprise and delight.

Later on...

Roger became completely numb.

The reason is quite simple—

Quentin is just too rich! The initial outburst of anger has passed.

Later, all that remained was the numb act of counting.

Roger himself couldn't remember how many good things Quentin had given him.

He could only glance at it briefly.

Let's briefly categorize the good items inside.

I want to figure out where each item came from.

He may need to conduct a lengthy inventory—

This process will definitely take more than a week.

He obviously doesn't have that much time right now.

The only option is to hand this task over to Cindy and the resident demons of the Xia Yin Realm.

A plan to assess Quentin's net worth was barely finalized.

Roger turned his attention to the items dropped by the Ancient Steel Dragon after its death.

After the World-Ending Forbidden Spell descended.

The Ancient Steel Dragon died instantly.

More than a dozen loot chests were found beneath his body.

Roger simply put it away quickly.

Now I have time to savor it properly.

Unlike Quentin's props.

The Ancient Steel Dragon only gave legitimate entry items.

This is exactly what Roger needs right now.

After a preliminary screening.

He selected four props from them.

They are as follows:

"Mechanical Dragon Egg (Steel Dragon Mountain /Dragon Clan): When you enter a new room, a dragon egg will appear next to you. You can wait for the dragon egg to hatch on its own (it takes a long time).

You can also speed up the hatching of the dragon egg by killing the monsters in the room;

After hatching is complete.

You will receive a mechanical baby dragon.

Mechanical dragons possess the ability to fight in coordination and the potential to absorb XP during battle to increase their level and realm.

Note: You can have a maximum of 4 dragons hatched from Mechanical Dragon Egg.

Only when one of the dragons dies.

This item will only take effect again after that.

"Banner of Doom (Magic/Inspiration): While in combat, enemy units within 12 tiles of you will have their movement speed reduced by 40%."

"Judgment Spear (Celestial/Inspiration) (Gold): When one of the attributes of Judgment Spear is triggered, the other attribute will also take effect."

"Lich's Mercy (Magic/ Lake Country /Abyss) (Gold): After equipping this item."

Your character will transform into a 'lich' upon death.

You can revert to being human by accumulating a certain amount of kill points.

It can also maintain the lich state indefinitely.

In Lich form.

All your normal attacks turn into ' Negative Energy Tentacles '.

' Frost Ring ' of varying sizes will randomly erupt around you.

There is a chance that the enemies you kill will become your ' Corpse Servant '.

There is no limit to the number of Corpse Servant.

Note: The Lich's Wall Index and Life Index are both 1/3 of those in normal human form.

In general.

All four items have excellent attributes.

Aside from the fact that the "Mechanical Dragon Egg" entry and its effects are relatively average.

The other three props are all minor high-quality items.

certainly.

Mechanical Dragon Egg also have their own advantages.

An adventure in Two-Dimensional World.

Inevitably, you will encounter some areas where you might need cannon fodder to scout ahead.

At this time.

In a sense, a 'renewable' mechanical dragon can come in handy.

More importantly.

Roger's second character card cannot have a fairy.

If a Mechanical Dragon Egg is placed in a flexible slot...

This can completely make up for the lack of followers.

in addition.

Before the second character card is activated.

Roger can stockpile twice the number of items as a normal Item Column.

therefore.

He also kept the Mechanical Dragon Egg as an alternative.

The remaining three need no further explanation.

The "Banner of Doom" has the excellent attribute of slowing down enemies.

In addition, add the entry for "encouragement".

Naturally, Roger valued him highly.

The "Judgment Spear" not only possesses the dual attributes of "Celestial/Inspiration".

Its special effects are simply phenomenal!

According to the description of this prop.

As long as the effect of either "Celestial Realm" or "Inspiration" is triggered.

Then the other one will definitely trigger as well! This means that the high attack speed of the Celestial Realm and the 100% critical strike effect of the Encouragement will be fully integrated.

Furthermore, it can significantly increase the trigger frequency of keywords.

Roger saw it for the first time.

I'm going to make it the core of my "Encouragement Stream" build!

The final "Lich's Mercy" is also quite unique.

Judging from the entry...

Like the "Mechanical Dragon Egg," it's difficult for it to compete with items that come with the "Inspire" attribute.

But its effect surprised Roger.

The ability to "resurrect as a lich after death" provides a margin of error.

The fact that liches can regain their human form through killing indirectly extends their Life Index and Wall Index.

Not to mention that the lich itself has a series of skills and special effects.

Roger doesn't yet know the quality of the Negative Energy Tentacles, the Frost Ring, or the Corpse Servant.

But after seeing the word "unlimited".

Roger's DNA couldn't help but stir!

This time.

He did not choose to use it as a backup option for the second character card.

Instead, it was used directly on the first character card!...

"Prompt: Do you want to use ' Lich's Mercy ' to replace the ' Angel's Armor (Heaven/Barrier)' already equipped in your Item Column?"

"Replacement successful! The Lich's Mercy is in effect..."

"Done!"

In the darkness.

Roger rubbed his hands together excitedly.

For him.

The Angel's Armor is actually a useless piece of equipment.

However, he hasn't replaced the items on the first mission card for a long time.

With the remaining eight spirits unable to move.

This thing became the primary target for replacement.

After equipping "Lich's Mercy".

Roger's margin for error has now improved slightly.

You'll also have the chance to experience what it's like to be a lich.

He still had a tiny bit of hope in his heart.

After filtering through the items with descriptive entries left behind by the Ancient Steel Dragon.

Roger then found himself in a brief period of having nothing to do.

He can see it.

The distant Dark Ruins are gradually being restored.

However, there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching one's desired location.

The space around him was still a mess, like shattered glass.

This made Roger marvel at the power of the Celestial Technique! "Olmerdo..."

"Did I really kill him?"

Feel the chaos and fragmentation of the space around me.

A thought suddenly popped into Roger's mind.

But at that very moment...

A faint, dark red light appeared beneath his feet.

Roger looked closely.

It was an invitation that had been slipped in from who-knows-where!

"Hint: You have received an invitation to the Red Valley Knights."

"Decoding complete. You have obtained coordinates (Ancient Desolate Continent)."

"The Red Valley Alchemist?"

Roger was slightly taken aback.

But it clearly says "Knights" on it!? The invitation is signed "Captain Occam".

Instead of the words "alchemist" that Roger had envisioned.

But no matter what.

Roger was quite interested in the coordinates provided by what appeared to Red Valley Descendants.

He knew that the invitation was most likely left by the person in the audience with whom he had made eye contact.

However, the coordinates pointed to the depths of the Ancient Desolate Continent rather than the Black Crystal World.

This is intriguing.

"Although Quentin also came to the Black Crystal World and wanted to go to the top, he didn't explicitly say that the Red Valley Descendants were on the top..."

Roger cleverly thought, "Perhaps the place where the Red Valley Descendants reside can only be accessed by passing through the highest level of the Black Crystal World..."

"Since an invitation has been sent, it is at least an act of goodwill on the surface."

"I'd like to take a trip there sometime!"

My thoughts settled down.

He was about to put the invitation away safely.

But the next second.

He had a sudden inspiration and flipped the invitation over.

But behind the invitation, a crystal-clear object was discovered!

Roger held it in his palm.

In that instant.

His vision was filled with a large number of meaningless codes composed of numbers and letters!

This was the first time Roger had encountered such a situation since his time travel.

Fortunately, it happened very quickly.

The torrent of code that flooded the screen finally subsided.

Instead, there are lines of prompts.

Hint: You have obtained 1 ' Eir Lens '

"Consume the ' Eir Lens ' and proceed to the ' Game Console (Black Crystal World)'?"

"Huh?"

Roger's face showed a mixture of surprise and delight!...

It's a little short today~~ I'll try to make it longer tomorrow!
