Finishing Move: Instant Extinction! Osirio’s spoils of war!

——

【You have obtained 1941.7 years of lifespan (tradable)!】

【You have obtained 529.4 years of lifespan (non-tradable)!】

——

This was just the lifespan light orbs Qin Feng picked up from the ground; they originally belonged to the players, but after passing through the BOSS, half had been deducted…

The base reward for an Epic BOSS was 750 years of tradable lifespan, plus 600 evolution points.

When Qin Feng used Greedy Hand!

He directly pulled out five additional rewards!

“A pity it wasn't six…”

Qin Feng couldn't help but grumble. Why did his luck suddenly take a turn for the worse?

Fortunately, even with just five additional rewards, it gave Qin Feng an extra 3,750 years of lifespan, plus 3,000 evolution points!

This brought the evolution points on Qin Feng's person to 3,988, nearly 4,000!

“High-grade BOSSes really are much fattier!”

Qin Feng put away the rewards.

Next came a pile of loot.

The base drop for an Epic BOSS was 2-3 pieces of epic loot, plus 5-8 pieces of Diamond-Level loot.

After using Greedy Hand, the BOSS dropped an additional 12 Legendary loot items and 34 Epic-grade loot items!

“Unfortunately, the Equivalent Exchange Leather Pants cannot convert items above the epic level…”

“Among these 12 Legendary items, only one Assassin skill book is usable by me.”

This luck could indeed be said to be quite poor.

Of course, statistically speaking, with so many classes in God Forsaken Game, having one Assassin item out of twelve was perfectly normal.

At least the remaining Epic-grade loot could all be converted.

Qin Feng would slowly convert them and perform ten-to-one fusions. Eventually, he could get two more Assassin items, though it would take a day or two to sort it out.

And so, at this moment.

Counting his previous stock, Qin Feng effectively obtained one Legendary Assassin skill book immediately, and then fused ten pieces of Epic-grade Assassin equipment into one Legendary Assassin equipment!

——

【Instant Extinction (Legendary): Assassin Finishing Move. Consumes 100 combo points to instantly slash all targets within 5 meters in front of you, adding 'Agility x 200' points of physical attack. If the target has damage-over-time effects, all DoT damage is increased by 50% and instantly detonated. Requirement: Level 30】

——

Undoubtedly, this Assassin skill was a super-powerful Assassin Finishing Move.

Its additional attack wasn't a fixed value; rather, the higher the Agility, the higher the additional attack!

So far, the other output skills Qin Feng had obtained only added a maximum of ten thousand or so points of attack.

But for this 'Instant Extinction' skill, if paired with Qin Feng's Agility value after stealing BOSS attributes with 'Thieving Hand of the Saint', its added physical attack could reach over four hundred thousand!

Factoring in Qin Feng's base physical attack and Stealth-breaking Attack…

In terms of base damage, Instant Extinction was over ten times stronger than his other skills.

“Let me calculate…”

“If I first use Graceful Liberation followed by Instant Shadow Slash, and then use 'Instant Extinction' to detonate the Throat Cut damage, even against an Epic BOSS of the Great Calamity Underworld King's level, it could burst for two or three hundred million damage in an instant!”

High base damage!

Amplifying and detonating damage-over-time!

It perfectly complemented the active effect of Qin Feng's 'Graceful Liberation'!

“Thanks for the gift, Great Calamity Underworld King!”

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

Although Upper Affixes became extremely important in the mid-to-late stages of God Forsaken Game, damage value remained the foundation of foundations at all times.

As long as the damage was high enough to one-shot a BOSS, did affixes even matter?

Of course.

Since it was difficult for players to stack Upper Affixes and Superior Resistance.

Before he could truly one-shot Epic BOSSes, Qin Feng still had to honestly devise different strategies for different BOSSes…

Of course.

Qin Feng hadn't reached level 30 yet, so he couldn't learn this skill for now.

The Great Calamity Underworld King was a level 30 BOSS, and the items it dropped were all level 28-30.

“Looks like I have to wait until level 30. Although the Jiangzhou official side has already invited Big Iron Hammer back, that guy can only lower the level requirements for equipment, not for skill books.”

One-Armed Dwarf · Big Iron Hammer happened to be an NPC in the Jiangzhou area who had already been invited by the officials; he could lower the level requirements for equipment that players temporarily couldn't use.

But if the item's level was lowered, its attributes would naturally decrease as well…

Qin Feng glanced at his evolution points and, after some thought, decided to evolve one of his previous skills first.

——

【You have consumed 1,000 evolution points, 2,988 remaining.】

【Rogue Fairys Blessing (Mythic → Ancient-Grade): Added 'Divine Thunder', no level requirement.】

【Thunder of Protection: You are immune to all lightning-element crowd control effects. Accumulation speed of Upper Affix gauges reduced by an additional 50% → 75%.】

【Thunder of Destruction: All your attacks add 50% → 75% lightning element damage.】

【Divine Thunder (New): You gain 1 layer of Damage Immunity Shield every second, up to 12 layers.】

——

The accumulation speed reduction for Upper Affix gauges went from 50% to 75%!

This meant…

Qin Feng's resistance to all Upper Affixes had doubled again!

The damage from Thunder of Destruction was higher!

And with the addition of Divine Thunder, he gained one layer of Damage Immunity Shield every second!

“Spending these one thousand evolution points wasn't a loss…”

But Qin Feng took a look.

To evolve this skill from Ancient-Grade to Immortal-grade, the required evolution points were 20,000!

To evolve a skill to Immortal-grade, the required evolution points were the base cost multiplied by ten thousand… clearly not something for the current Qin Feng to consider.

Rather than saving up so many points for a single evolution, it was better to evolve other skills multiple times.

“There are still nearly 3,000 evolution points left; I'll save them for now.”

There were quite a few minor skills from before that could be evolved, but it wasn't very meaningful.

After all, the initial grades of those skills were relatively low, making the cost-effectiveness of further evolution poor. It was better to save up to evolve key skills for a more significant boost in combat power.

Then, Qin Feng looked at the Assassin equipment he had just fused.

——

【assassination wind hat (Legendary): Assassin equipment. Agility +123, Physical Defense +420, All elemental resistance +390. Requirement: Level 25】

【Special: Invulnerability +32.7】

【Unique Effect: Precise and Lethal! You passively gain 399% hit correction!】

【Unique Effect: Assassination Initiated! For 15 seconds after active activation, your identity will be hidden. Players killed by you will not know your game ID (it will also show as 'Unknown' in the kill records). This effect has a 1-hour cooldown.】

——

This equipment didn't have much else, but Qin Feng primarily valued the 'Invulnerability' affix and the 399% hit correction.

As for the 'Assassination' effect that hid his identity…

Was it useful?

If Qin Feng wanted to kill someone, he would just kill them; he didn't need to hide his identity at all.

As for the level 25 requirement, it was because the equipment was fused ten-to-one, so the level requirement was the average level of the ten raw materials.

Qin Feng could wear it just in time.

At this moment, Qin Feng looked at the pile of Legendary loot in his backpack.

“If these items were sold to the officials, their strength would be greatly enhanced…”

However, although the Jiangzhou officials had already invited Big Iron Hammer back, the minimum level requirement for Legendary equipment was level 20.

It couldn't go any lower!

So, even if Qin Feng sold the items to the officials at this stage, no one on their side could use them.

On the other hand, some Epic-grade loot could have its usage requirement lowered to level 15…

But Qin Feng could convert and then fuse Epic-grade items himself!

Therefore, the officials were destined not to enjoy this part of the benefits for now.

“However, some Diamond-Level equipment can be sold off.”

“After all, to fuse Diamond-Level items into Legendary ones requires two steps. Now that I can kill Epic BOSSes, there's no need for that much trouble…”

To more efficiently fuse Legendary equipment or skill books, Qin Feng prepared to sell all the Diamond-Level equipment and skill books for other classes.

And many Diamond-Level equipment and skill books carried Upper Affixes!

Qin Feng knew very well…

Once this batch of equipment was released, the strength of the Jiangzhou officials would skyrocket, putting them at least a month ahead of everyone else's development!

For Qin Feng, selling this batch of items would bring in far more income than his previous sales, perhaps even… potentially draining all the guild tax revenue of the entire Jiangzhou official side!

Right then.

Osirio finally came flying back eagerly.

It had flown dozens of kilometers, and seeing that 'old days catastrophe snake tooth' discarded by the BOSS, its eyes were practically glowing!

It finally brought the item back to Qin Feng!
