Doom Bracelet (Third Update)

This prophecy not only ensures that the "warriors" who receive the prophecy will find the divine bow, but also aptly reveals the content of the trial, without revealing the image on the stone tablet. As for the place name "northwest of Kester City," Bai Xiaowen confirmed the location by consulting relevant materials.

The other six prophecies are largely similar.

After Bai Xiaowen publicly announced the seven prophecies, Camelot Queen immediately ordered them to be engraved on the wall. Next, she organized a team of warriors to search for the Seven Sacred Artifacts.

Bai Xiaowen also received a notification about the Spirit Realm Rules.

"Special Side Quest: The Prophet's Mission is Complete, Submit Now?"

"Submit."

"Completion rate calculation in progress..."

"100% Completion (Perfect)."

"The Prophecy Tablet has been officially transformed into equipment: the Doom Bracelet. You can view the equipment information for the Doom Bracelet."

Bai Xiaowen felt a surge of excitement.

[Note: The Prophecy Tablet will only guide the chosen ones; fools will never gain approval.]

"Awesome!"

Bai Xiaowen smacked her lips and rubbed her dark circles.

His seven days of Academic Ace student were truly worthwhile; he spent every day buried in books...

A 100% completion rate means that all seven prophecies came true without any deviation.

It should be noted that the Seven Sacred Artifacts of the Black Tide Continent have been lost for a long time, and most of the legends that have been passed down are merely the creations of bards and are not credible at all.

Although those five hundred-plus books encompassed all the legends about the Seven Sacred Artifacts, after Bai Xiaowen finished reading them, there were still three artifacts whose origins he could not find.

Bai Xiaowen could only immerse himself in the vast sea of books in the library, searching through the logs of various travelers for secret locations that met the criteria. He practically turned the Royal Library upside down before finally confirming the whereabouts of the last three sacred artifacts and giving the correct prophecy.

It can be said that Bai Xiaowen has become a polymath of the Black Tide Continent. He can talk about most of the ancient documents of the Black Tide Continent with a certainty—after all, Super Brain is no joke. This can be considered an unexpected gain. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for an awakened person to enter a country's library, especially the Camelot Royal Library, a country of mages that values knowledge. It is no less than an A-Tier mission.

This unique item Dark Gold Equipment Doom Bracelet, transformed from the Prophecy Tablet, has an additional 8 points of Spirit compared to the initial version. This bonus is already considerable, not to mention the extra skill it grants.

Aside from the previously added danger warning skill "Doom Prophecy," the newly added "Seal Fate," while relatively uncommon, has an effect that every Awakened One dreams of.

First, let's talk about the passive effect: immunity to instant-death spells! Although there's a priority limit of 9, what kind of being could possibly cast a spell with a priority of 10 or higher? Most lords couldn't do that! Only a being surpassing a lord could cast a powerful ultimate skill to reach a priority of 10.

At least during the Awakened stage, this additional phrase with a priority of 8 can be ignored.

As for instant death, as mentioned before, it's an effect of "killing instantly regardless of Life Value".

Spells that grant immediate death are generally curses, with a few rare innate abilities of Beast Species, and certain divine spells of law.

Bai Xiaowen possesses the divine skill of Life Sharing, which allows him to ignore effects like "instant kill from Vital Strike." Now, the Doom Bracelet grants him the ability to be immune to instant death spells, undoubtedly making Bai Xiaowen more composed when facing rare crises.

It should be noted, of course, that immunity to instant death spells does not mean immunity to all instant death effects.

Spells and skills should not be confused. The concept of skills is broader than that of spells, including not only spell-based skills but also physical skills.

When Bai Xiaowen uses his Whispering Grimoire to cast spells, he never casts "spells" like Whirlwind Slash, Backstab, or Ambush, because those are physical skills.

The instant death effect of physical skills is generally related to certain bloody actions, such as heart-ripping or Decapitation. It also applies to creatures that need a heart or head to survive. For example, in the Jiajing Plane World, the Misty-Silk Ghost Reef Heart-Rending Strike skill of the White Ghost Queen is not a spell and is therefore not within the immunity range of the Doom Bracelet.

As for the active effect, it's even more powerful. With Bai Xiaowen's Divine Might, he can achieve near-total immunity to control effects for almost a minute! Of course, after activating the second form of the Kusanagi Sword, Bai Xiaowen already has a theoretical maximum reduction of 75% (at 5 stacks), so the need for control immunity isn't very urgent. But this doesn't diminish the fact that Seal Fate is a good skill.

Bai Xiaowen's original wrist equipment, the "Archery Bracer," was considered a minor top-tier item. However, as a blue-tier item, it couldn't compare to Top-grade Dark Gold Equipment like the Doom Bracelet, so Bai Xiaowen quickly switched to it.

Li Shuyi also made some progress during these seven days. Her Swordsmanship Specialty finally broke through to level 7. According to Instructor Oona, Li Shuyi has "entered the inner sanctum" in terms of swordsmanship skills.

Ahan also arrived in the Kingdom of Camelot.

As Bai Xiaowen predicted, Ahan indeed failed to persuade everyone to evacuate with him. Despite the obvious sign of rising sea levels, a small number of residents stubbornly remained in Hodge Town.

Left with no other option, Ahan had to lead most of the townspeople to evacuate. When the refugee convoy arrived at the capital of the principality to which Hodge Town belonged and requested to be taken in, they were met with a cold refusal.

Fortunately, Ahan had made thorough preparations before setting out, ensuring there was no shortage of food. He led the refugee caravan to the Kingdom of Camelot. The Queen also kept her promise and ordered the Minister of the Interior to properly resettle the tens of thousands of refugees.

During these seven days, the Kingdom of Camelot used magical communication to spread the doomsday prophecy to the warring nations. Unfortunately, many factions treated the prophecy as a farce.

However, this was no longer something Bai Xiaowen could control.

If there were still time to explore, Bai Xiaowen would have loved to join the Warriors' Squad and explore the Seven Sacred Artifacts, which would obviously be a great side quest. Unfortunately, he didn't have time anymore and could only say goodbye to Ahan, Camelot Queen, and the others, leave the Black Tide Plane, and end this thrilling adventure in the Spirit Realm.

The priority of Seal Fate immunity to instant death has been slightly modified in this chapter; it was originally 8 or below, but has been changed to 9 or below.
