Heroes' Prison

Chapter 157: The Attributes of Legendary Equipment

At this moment, Huang Yi was oblivious to everything that was happening outside. He paid no mind to the first kill announcement by Heavenly Dao, his thoughts entirely consumed by the "Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints".

This was the first time both for him and for the entire world that a piece of Legendary Equipment had been dropped!

He took a deep breath and, on behalf of everyone in the world, began to examine the attributes of the Legendary Equipment for the first time!

"Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints" (Legendary, Armor – Boots)

Physical Defense: 360

Strength +600

Fire Resistance +75

Absolute Movement Speed +20%

Attack comes with an additional 20% Fire Damage

Borrow Light: Can borrow the radiance of the yellow stars in the sky to freely enhance a chosen attribute. The effect can be switched to any attribute in need of enhancement, with a cooldown of one minute. The current Borrow Light effect is: Strength +500. At night, the effect is doubled compared to the daytime.

Scorched Earth: Wherever you pass, the ground turns to scorched earth, covering a range of two hundred meters with a layer of magma, causing fire damage equal to 5% of Attack Power per second to all enemies within the range. The effect lasts indefinitely and can be activated or deactivated at any time.

Attached Skill:

"End of the World": On use, causes hot magma to erupt in a three hundred meter radius, dealing fire damage equal to 15% of Attack Power every second to enemies, lasting for 10 seconds. Each use consumes 10% of Health Points, with a cooldown of 5 minutes.

Durability: 1200/1200

Required Level: Scales with level, currently requires level 45

Equipment Score: 700

Item Description: I tread upon the flames of doomsday, seeking your vanished visage. In ancient times, Harbinger of Doomsday, Lucifer, wore these boots, striding across this continent, searching for the grave of his lover. Where he passed, the earth turned to scorched earth. Later, during the battle with the Ancestor of White Dragon, these boots were severed along with his legs and ended up in Bai Long Lake. Now, you will continue down the path of the Harbinger of Doomsday.

After seeing the attributes of these Legendary Boots, Huang Yi’s heart could not calm for a long time.

They were simply too powerful!

Every attribute was powerful to the extreme!

Legendary Equipment came with six Additional Attributes and an Attached Skill! And his best Orange Weapon only had five attributes. As for an Attached Skill, that was beyond even consideration; below Legendary, no equipment could possibly have an Attached Skill.

Every single attribute on this piece of Legendary Equipment had an incredibly high bonus! For instance, Strength was directly enhanced by 600 points, higher than Huang Yi’s own Orange Weapon. Weapons, which are focused on Attack, have high main attribute enhancements, but boots are mere armor, and yet their main attribute enhancement is even higher than that of weapons, indicating just how powerful Legendary Equipment is!

And the second attribute, Fire Resistance +75, pushed Huang Yi’s fire resistance to the maximum value. He could now nullify 75% of fire damage and no longer needed to hunt for other fire resistance gear. If a Fire Mage tried to face him, it would be like attacking a turtle’s shell, directly weakening 75% of the fire damage!

Normally, the resistance cap for a player is 75 points. Stacking resistance beyond that is useless, meaning even with higher resistance, a player can at most nullify 75% of a certain type of damage. Of course, this is the general case, but there are exceptions. For example, Huang Yi’s Half-Beastman form comes with a racial talent that grants immunity to 95% of disease and poison damage, which is an innate talent and not subject to these limits.

The third attribute was movement speed, something commonly found on boots. However, Huang Yi had only seen boots that added regular movement speed. But boots like these that added an "absolute" movement speed by as much as 20% were a first for him.

At present, Huang Yi’s racial talent increased his absolute movement speed by 20%, the exotic skill Shadow Dance by another 10%, and now these legendary boots added another 20%, tallying up to a stunning 50% in absolute movement speed! It would be difficult to find such high absolute movement speed across the entire Second World!

The fourth attribute, 20% additional fire damage on attacks, aligned Huang Yi with Biyue Qingkong’s Magic Swordsman class style. Biyue Qingkong and her brother Little Fatty belonged to advanced classes. As a Magic Swordsman, Biyue Qingkong was a swordsman type but dealt fire damage. Now with Huang Yi capable of similar abilities, an attack of ten thousand points would result in ten thousand points of physical attack plus an extra two thousand points of fire attack, making his offense more comprehensive. If an opponent had high physical defense that Huang Yi couldn’t break through, at least the two thousand points of fire damage could bypass the enemy’s physical defense.

The fifth attribute of these legendary boots was the Light-leeching Attribute, a priceless feature that Huang Yi had encountered just a few days ago. If an Orange Weapon’s Light-leeching Attribute added 400 points of strength, these legendary boots added 500 points—for a total of 900 points! These 900 points could be freely switched by Huang Yi to any attribute he needed, offering a high degree of flexibility. He could supplement wherever he fell short.

The last additional attribute was as powerful as the Borrow Light attribute, similar to a skill. Wherever he trod, the earth would turn to scorched earth, with a wide range spanning two hundred meters, roughly the same as Holy Domain skills. Although the damage was only 5% per second, it excelled in having no time limit; Huang Yi could keep it active indefinitely as long as he wished.

Next was the most significant value of legendary equipment: the attached skill!

The attached skill of the equipment, like the Shadow Dance Huang Yi learned from Slark, was classified as an exotic skill. It existed outside the racial and class skill systems, providing an extra skill akin to having one more than others.

The attached skill of these legendary boots was an area-of-effect type of skill, superior in both damage and attack range to the effects of a Plague Rune—excellent for level grinding.

Furthermore, this piece of legendary equipment had a hidden power: it could level up as Huang Yi’s own level increased, avoiding the issue of becoming obsolete. For instance, the Orange Weapon he currently wielded might look powerful now, but if Huang Yi reached level 100, that Orange Weapon would undoubtedly become unsuitable. In contrast, the legendary equipment would remain relevant and usable indefinitely.

If considering the long-term perspective, Huang Yi’s pair of legendary boots might be worth as much as the total value of all his other equipment.

Having these boots made all the preceding adventures worthwhile!

Huang Yi revealed a genuine smile; he had taken a major step toward the realm of the ultimate experts!

Dao Feng, Heavenly Dao, and that circle of top players had opened a door for him!

"Congratulations on obtaining five great treasures!" At that moment, Huang Yi heard the congratulatory voice of the White Dragon King.

"Hm? Five great treasures?" Huang Yi was momentarily stunned and asked, "Which five?"

The White Dragon King’s tone was filled with mirth as he replied, "The first is those legendary boots you just equipped. Such a powerful item is extremely rare throughout the land. The second is the new Heart of the Sand Thief King; its extreme cold aura has been neutralized; the third is Lucifer’s Blood, cooled by the heart of the Sand Thief King, and the fourth is Lucifer’s severed legs, no longer in fury. And the fifth is that holy aura, all of which can be bestowed upon your sister."

"Heart of the Sand Thief King, Lucifer’s Blood, Lucifer’s Legs..." Huang Yi murmured those items, and then a spark of realization flashed in his mind. He quickly caught on and exclaimed, "Are you saying I can use these to create an External Incarnation?"

"Absolutely, these are top-level materials!" The White Dragon King nodded his colossal head, "These are all genuine body tissues, just now devoid of their original owner’s will, perfectly suited for imprinting with your own. If you can find some additional parts and assemble these materials, you could create a powerful External Incarnation. This incarnation would not only share your talents, equipment, and skills but would also retain some of their original powers. For instance, those legs from Lucifer would possess formidable fire abilities! And the Heart of the Sand Thief King would have eternal vitality and powerful ice abilities."

"Other materials?" Huang Yi suddenly thought of Heroes’ Prison!

Heroes’ Prison was a vast treasure trove. The remnants of heroes, a plethora of corpses from various races and shapes, lay there...
