The True Legendary Boss
The day before heading to Blue Moon Town.
William used Mithril to upgrade his Epic-Class inner armor.
The results were remarkable. It was insanely strong.
Love's Blessing Quality: Epic Type: Growth-Type Defensive Equipment Materials: Mithril, branches and leaves of the World Tree, Gold Essence, and more. Crafted by: Alice Blackleaf Health +600 Stamina +200 Strength +10 Constitution +15 Agility +12 Intelligence +8 Durability: 780/780 Weight: 0.3 kg Defense: Attacks below 210 damage within the inner armor's coverage could not harm either the armor or its wearer. Only attacks exceeding that limit could deal effective damage and reduce durability. Elemental Guard (Passive): All elemental damage was reduced by 15%. Love's Blessing (Passive): When the user's health fell below 10%, they would receive Love's Blessing, instantly recovering 60% of their health. Cooldown: 25 minutes. Usage Requirement: William Blackleaf Usage Requirement: Strength 40 Growth Requirement: Place one jin of Mithril and one jin of Gold Essence on the inner armor, and it would automatically absorb them to evolve. Description: This was an inner armor personally crafted by a mother for her son. It contained not only great maternal love, but also a mother's beautiful wishes. Cherish the inner armor in your hands, child!
"Phew~" William gave a gentle blow, and the dull Mithril turned into silver sand that scattered away.
The inner armor, faintly gleaming with restrained purple light, had not become any heavier. It was still only 0.3 grams.
To William, that little weight was practically nothing, but the attributes of this Epic-Class growth-type inner armor were ridiculously powerful.
It only had two passive skills.
Yet both Elemental Guard and Love's Blessing were rare, and they would become even more important in the later stages of the game.
After all, he rarely faced Mages now. The current Mages could not even be called spellcasters; they were just little brothers.
But in the future, those little brothers would become walking magical artillery...
Without elemental defense or elemental damage reduction, getting blasted even once would leave your ass wrecked even if you survived.
Elemental Guard in particular reduced damage from all elemental attributes. While it had no effect against overly unusual magical attacks, it was still incredibly important.
Besides Mages dealing attribute-based damage, melee classes would also gain elemental damage. Though they could not compare to spellcasters in any respect, it was still a necessary stage for melee fighters.
"The first class advancement at level 10 is learning battle aura and becoming a Novice-Class Professional.
"The second class advancement comes at level 40. Professionals awaken an attribute then, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and so on.
"As for space and time... those truly belong only to protagonist NPCs and absurdly lucky people." William raised an eyebrow. He was not in much of a hurry to level up.
Recently, although Border Town had been expanding, he still received daily territory quests every day.
For example, clearing out the little Werewolves nearby, helping some old man deliver a message... Ahem, there was no way quests like that existed.
Even if they did, as the lord, he could never lower himself to do them. Absolutely not!
Anyway, earning several thousand or even tens of thousands of experience points a day was still possible. The territory was developing, after all, and there were more quests than he could count.
But William had not leveled up, because he was still missing a secondary class.
Gods Game did not limit the number or type of secondary classes. Whether they were life classes or combat classes, none were restricted.
You could choose Warrior as your main class, with Mage, Archer, Gunner, Summoner, and so on as secondary classes...
And then...
Delete your character and start over...
With every additional combat-type secondary class, the experience needed to level up would not quite double, but it would come close. Unless you refused to level the secondary class, in which case it would be useless...
Furthermore, every additional combat-type secondary class would double the difficulty of class advancement quests. That was certain.
And before advancing, you had to max out the manuals for both your main class and secondary class. In other words, learning one extra secondary class guaranteed that your leveling experience requirements would double. If you did not level up, then you could not advance.
Of course, that was relative. For top players and professional players with skill, mechanics, and game sense, most would still choose a combat-type secondary class.
The increased experience requirements and class advancement quest difficulty could not truly knock them out of the first tier.
As for two combat-type classes, if they had enough compatibility, they could even produce fusion skills. With better combinations of other skills, they could definitely pull off entirely different godlike plays.
It could almost be said...
That this diversity of secondary classes was exactly why the arena in Gods Game gradually became the most prestigious arena among all games on the market.
Yet this same diversity of secondary classes also made it impossible for anyone to truly secure first place in the arena.
Ordinary players, meanwhile, generally could only choose a life-type secondary class...
After all, that was exclusive to the poor and the unlucky. Talking about it only brought tears...
In his previous life, William had chosen Warrior as his main class and Gatherer as his secondary class. As for those Archer skills, he had learned them through other means.
Although he had eventually become a Legendary Rank Professional, he was still not among the very strongest.
This time, the secondary class he intended to learn was a magic-oriented class.
However, this magic class was extremely difficult to learn. Extremely, extremely difficult.
It did not require waiting until level 40 to awaken an attribute before learning it, but the problem was finding someone who knew that kind of magic...
He had originally considered going to Dark Night City to use some connections and see whether he could find someone to teach him, but he had not expected the person who could teach him this secondary class to be right in Border Town!
Moxis!
Moxis Saint Vein, who made a living telling fortunes in town and mooched off everyone.
"The town's Blacksmith, Old Hank, and the hunter Eric and his son all have Epic-Class bloodline potential. Their current levels should only be around forty or fifty. They are NPCs with hidden classes. Their strength is formidable, but they are not top-tier!" William remembered both of them clearly.
"Old Hank the Blacksmith is an Epic-Class Holy Hammer Warrior, and his secondary class is Blacksmith. Not only does he possess forging skills no weaker than a Dwarf's, he also has an extraordinarily mysterious identity."
After Border Town was occupied by the Steel Duchy, he had even managed to remain neutral, holding an exceptional position. Later, he followed the Steel Duchy and opened an absurdly impressive blacksmith shop.
William still remembered reserving a weapon from him, only for the waiting list to stretch into the second year after the public beta...
So...
He casually sold that weapon to a wealthy newbie player in the second year and made a killing for his living expenses.
Unfortunately...
That rich player put out a bounty afterward...
If the game had not had confidentiality policies, William would have been doxxed online...
"As for the hunter Eric and his son, the father is a Shadow Ranger and the son is a Shadow Assassin. Both are unlucky bastards who escaped from the Shadow Killer Organization.
"After they left Border Town, they fought the Shadow Organization many times and killed quite a few Assassins sent to hunt them down. Their fame grew greater and greater, but later they vanished without a trace. No one knew whether they had hidden themselves away again or been killed."
"But they are all trash. Gods Continent has never lacked talented people. Geniuses who fail to grow up are everywhere. As players put it, Legendary Rank professionals are everywhere, while Epic-Class ones are cheaper than dogs...
"Of course, as long as they have a good hidden class and decent equipment, they are still powerful and cannot really be called trash.
"But compared to Moxis, the All-Element Grand Archmage, they are seriously low-tier!" William truly wanted to complain.
(Legendary, Epic, and Grandmaster Bloodlines are equivalent to cultivation talent in this world. Think of them as the geniuses and prodigies of Gods Continent. But prodigies who cannot grow still end up dead. I think I have finally explained the bloodline issue clearly.)
Moxis.
One of the heirs to the president of the Magic Sanctum!
Disciple of a Law Saint!
A betrayer of the gods!
All-Element Grand Archmage!
A walking super map-wide cannon!
"Unless something unexpected happened, this guy's level should have surpassed the current version's limit." William fell silent. As the disciple of the Magic Sanctum's president, Moxis naturally possessed a Legendary Bloodline and absurdly powerful talent.
And it was definitely not some talent like "Handsome"...
For all anyone knew, he might have been born with an overpowered talent like "God of Magic," with luck overflowing from his body. The emperor of lucky people—the thorn in the eyes and flesh of unlucky people like William.
Most importantly, he had mastered all types of magic and was even more awesome than his teacher.
What did all-element mean?
The elemental branches: metal, wood, water, fire, ice, earth, wind, and lightning.
The space-time branches: time and space.
The mysterious branches: Holy Light and darkness.
The spiritual branches: soul and will, similar to telekinesis.
The side branches: summoning, Undead, foresight, and more.
In short...
There was no magic you could think of that he could not use...
That was right.
He was just that badass.
"Unfortunately, this guy, a man who could race horses on his magic shield and dared to stand against the Magic Sanctum, still ended up dead in the end..." William could not help sighing.
"I wonder just how charming my father is, to make someone like this hide here?" William scratched his head. No matter what, he refused to believe that someone like Moxis needed his father's protection.
Because Moxis was the real legend.
A legend renowned throughout the three great empires.
"Huh, but that was the later Moxis, right? He should not be a Legendary Rank Grand Archmage yet, should he?"
William stroked his chin and began to ponder.
Before he knew it, the lord's smile had gradually become perverse...
Let me tell everyone some good news. My kitty can finally pee and poop again. It recovered, and there was no kidney failure. I am so happy? (????????)??
Ahem, but my kitty said it got sick because none of you voted.
Hand over those votes! Otherwise, one kitty punch and it will smack you all to death.
