Heroes' Prison

Chapter 276 - 271: Power Surge Period

Huang Yi immediately reached out and firmly grasped the two items as if he had seized endless wealth!

"Ah!" At that moment, the Wolf Clan BOSS below saw the Black Wolf’s death and began to howl madly, their blood boiling with rage and their eyes nearly bursting from their sockets as they swung their weapons at the sky, trying to tear Huang Yi to shreds.

The Void Battlefield had disappeared, and Huang Yi was plummeting. Once he hit the ground, he would be instantly submerged by the group of BOSSes below, probably leaving no corpse to be found as they would devour him alive.

"Transform into White Dragon!" The next moment, Huang Yi swiftly switched to his White Dragon Form and frantically fled into the distance!

The Wolf Clan BOSSes below quickly chased after him in the direction he escaped, kicking up a trail of dust with their imposing presence, roaring nonstop as if they would not rest until they had killed him!

Although Huang Yi’s current speed in escaping was fast, he couldn’t fly for long in his White Dragon Form. Once he landed, he would quickly be caught by the group of frenzied BOSSes, which meant certain death.

As Huang Yi flew, he looked around for terrain suitable for escaping, but the endless desert offered no respite to lose the pursuing BOSSes.

Just then, Huang Yi suddenly looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with clouds, obscuring the view above and hindering visibility. A light bulb went off for him, and he immediately took to the sky, quickly disappearing into the vast sea of clouds, out of sight.

On the ground, the pursuing Wolf Clan BOSSes, seeing this, stood still and roared towards the sky. They had completely lost sight of Huang Yi and had no idea where he had flown off to, their rage bottled up inside, with no way to vent it!

After flying above the clouds, Huang Yi immediately changed direction and soared with all his might. It was only after a long while that he finally descended again. By then, the Wolf Clan BOSSes had long since disappeared from view; he had successfully shaken them off.

Huang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent a message to Overlord, inquiring about his situation.

Overlord quickly replied, boasting strong escape skills, he had also already managed to get away.

Finally at ease, Huang Yi found a place to land and began to walk towards Dragon City.

And now, he could finally examine the items dropped by the Black Wolf.

The first thing he took out was the Black Wolf’s twin axes!

This was a piece of Legendary Equipment!

And more importantly, it was the most crucial weapon!

[Ghost Axe] (Legendary, Weapon - Axe types)

Close Combat Attack Power: 4520-4730

Strength +1200

Attack Power +20%

Critical Hit Rate +5%

Critical Hit Effect +20%

Rage limit +50, Rage increases by 1 point per second.

Weapon Switch: The Ghost Axe can be switched between a two-handed axe and a one-handed axe. When the two-handed axe is combined into a one-handed axe, Close Combat Attack Power is reduced by 20%. The first attack following the switch is an absolute attack that ignores the target’s defense, with a cooldown of 1 minute.

Attached Skill:

[Flying Axe]: A long-range attack skill that hurls the Ghost Axe in the direction of the target. The Ghost Axe flies forward at a speed of 100 meters per second, forcibly knocking back all enemy targets it strikes and dealing damage equal to 30% of Attack Power. The Flying Axe’s maximum range cannot exceed 20 times the Level Value in meters and can be recalled at any time. Each use consumes 5% of Health Points, with a cooldown of 5 minutes.

Durability: 1800/1800

Required Level: It can rise with the character’s level, currently level 60.

Equipment Score: 1440

Item Description: What left my hand was not the Ghost Axe but my conviction that no matter how far my enemies are!

Huang Yi caressed the two small broadaxes, feeling slightly excited; he had been lacking a handy weapon!

His previous Orange Weapon was level 50, and it had already fallen behind the pace of his strength improvements, dragging down his combat power, but he had been unable to find a new weapon. Weapons were the most important part of all equipment and also the hardest to come by, their value far exceeding other equipment parts.

Now, however, he had directly obtained a powerful Legendary Weapon. Legendary Equipment could grow with the player’s level, it was equipment that could evolve, so this weapon of his would never become obsolete due to a low level.

So far, the only known Legendary Weapon in The Second World was the Bart’s Blade, obtained by the Xuanyuan Clan after being the first to defeat the 50th floor’s fifth boss Rotten Dragon, Bart, in the Tower of Pantheons. That Legendary Weapon was in the hands of the world’s number one player—Dao Feng.

And now, Huang Yi held in his hands a Legendary Weapon that could be ranked as the world’s best! Moreover, this weapon was perfect for him as it was of the Axe types, belonging to a category of brutal weapons, exactly matching his Job’s Weapon Specialization requirement, enhancing an additional 10% of Attack Power upon equipping.

This was also Huang Yi’s first two-handed weapon. Two-handed weapons and dual-wielded weapons were not the same concept; a two-handed weapon was one weapon with two segments, inherently unified. The length, width, weight, design, and various other aspects of the weapon were carefully crafted by the blacksmith according to the structure of dual-wielding with both hands, allowing for coordinated use.

Dual-wielding different weapons was another matter; if Huang Yi randomly wielded two one-handed weapons in battle, one in each hand, it would result in mutual constraints and he wouldn’t be able to exert full power because they weren’t made for two-handed use and couldn’t complement each other.

Although two-handed weapons had high attack power, not everyone was suited for them due to a drawback: many skills couldn’t be used with them. For Huang Yi’s job, once he took up a two-handed weapon, the skill "Disarm" would be unusable, as he couldn’t free his hands to disarm his opponent’s weapon.

But this Legendary Ghost Axe perfectly solved that problem, featuring a weapon switch effect, allowing it to switch between a two-handed axe and a one-handed axe at any time. Moreover, after the switch, it would make the next attack an absolute one, ignoring the target’s defense—as if it equaled the amount of Attack Power he had, he could deal that exact damage to the enemy!

Thus, in battle, Huang Yi could initially use the weapon in its two-handed form to maintain the highest output and shift to a one-handed axe form whenever a chance to use Disarm arose. This way, he would be able to disarm.

And this Legendary Weapon also brought Huang Yi a new Attached Skill, "Flying Axe." This skill was the longest range of attack Huang Yi currently had and was the furthest he had ever seen, capable of reaching 20 times the Level Value in meters. At level 64, Huang Yi could now attack enemies up to 1280 meters away, a range of attack distance unheard of for him! And as his level increased, so would this distance!

Additionally, the damage from Flying Axe was quite significant, causing 30% of the Attack Power as damage, an absolute attack that didn’t consider defense. For others, 30% of Attack Power might not be too high, but for Huang Yi, it was different. As an extreme aggressor, especially after his Job Change to Executioner, 30% of his Attack Power was more than most could handle.

Huang Yi was eager to equip this mighty weapon; he immediately took down the two small broadaxes from his waist chain, and shouted three times, "Grow! Grow! Grow!"

The two small broadaxes grew visibly at an impressive speed, automatically adjusting to Huang Yi’s body size, only stopping after they reached over a meter long.

Now, the two broadaxes appeared incredibly ferocious, entirely black with a rugged design; the axe handles were adorned with the embossed carvings of two skeleton totems, giving them an intense texture. The blade of the axe was shaped like a large crescent moon, with several blood grooves extending to the gleaming sharp edge, reflecting a chilling light and exuding a sense of invincibility, as if it could cleave mountains in two!

Just looking at the Ghost Axe, you could feel an overwhelming, brutal force emanating from it, incomparable to ordinary weapons. In the presence of this weapon, Huang Yi’s previous level 50 Orange Weapon seemed like scrap metal, not even on the same league.

Huang Yi then immediately unequipped his old level 50 Orange Weapon and put on the Legendary Ghost Axe. Once equipped, others could not take this weapon from him unless he died and dropped it.

Once he equipped this killer weapon, all of Huang Yi’s Attack Attributes shot up significantly, giving the illusion of undergoing another Job Change!

This was what Legendary meant, gear from another realm entirely. The previous Whiteboard, Green Gear, Blue Gear, Purple Gear, Orange Gear, all simply differentiated by color. But when it came to Legendary, it was a term filled with a profound sense of history—Legendary, Epic, Divine Artifact, just the names alone indicated extraordinary significance.

Huang Yi fondled the Ghost Axe for a while before reluctantly storing it in his storage ring, then he started checking out the Storage Necklace dropped by the Black Wolf.

The contents of the Storage Necklace were a mixed bag, mostly consisting of materials like Crystals, beast materials, Top-level Potions, and so on.

"Energy Stones!" Huang Yi exclaimed in surprise after rummaging through for a while!

He had found a box full of Energy Stones, over 50 pieces, with a high B-grade quality, each able to replenish 5000 points of Energy, and if not used up, they could be saved for next time.

The Energy Stones he got from the Golden Holy Dragon’s Treasure Spot were almost used up, and this was a timely replenishment, allowing him to continue on his quest for the Perfect War Soul without any concerns for a good while.

However, he did not find any Special Energy Stones; it seemed that such items were too special, not obtainable just by being at a high level but requiring significant fortune.

"This is... a Holy Crystal Stone!" Soon after, Huang Yi found another treasure! This small stone imbued with Holy Light Power was only the size of a thumb but radiated warm golden light throughout the storage space, shining like a little sun.

This was a rare Holy Crystal Stone! (To be continued. If you like this novel, please support me by voting for it with your Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets on Starting Point (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
