Chapter 602, First Grade Talisman, Even Dogs Won’t Use It

Translator: Silavin

 

“The God Slaying Ballista is that overpowering?” Lu Fan was rather surprised upon hearing this.

 

“Even if no one’s Base Endurance Attribute can reach as high as two million, surely some have a Level 100 Divine Skills that can boost their Attributes to reach that high? Also, there are some Skills that grant Invulnerability for a period of time, as well as items that are usable. The God Slaying Ballista only has three bolts. It should be possible to withstand its attacks.”

 

“No, no, no!” Wang Tianlang shook his head repeatedly, speaking earnestly. “Using a Level 100 Divine Skill to forcibly resist the God Slaying Ballista is a fool’s errant. Perhaps among those who’ve come to participate in the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, some might be able to accomplish this. But Brother Lu, don’t forget that there are things like Skill Restriction Stone Seals.”

 

“Using a Skill Restriction Stone Seal, one can instantly seal an opponent’s Skills. If the opponent cannot take out a Skill Restriction Stone Seal to counter, they’ll be unable to use any Skills. Under such circumstances, whoever possesses the God Slaying Ballista would have an absolute advantage, wouldn’t they?”

 

“As for items… I forgot to mention earlier that the God Slaying Ballista has another domineering aspect to it: it can ignore all Protective Barriers formed by items and directly deal True Damage. That is to say, once struck by the God Slaying Ballista, one can only rely on their own Attributes to endure it. There’s no other method.”

 

“Anyone who possesses both Skill Restriction Stone Seals and the God Slaying Ballista basically has complete rule over our lives.”

 

“Skill Restriction Stone Seals are relatively easy to obtain. In the later stages within God’s Tomb Secret Realm, basically everyone will have one or two in their possession. So, once someone obtains the God Slaying Ballista, they’ll most likely use their Skill Restriction Stone Seal to restrict their opponent’s Skills, then use the God Slaying Ballista to snipe their enemies off. One that happens, no one can survive. That’s why I stressed how you must be especially careful of the God Slaying Ballista.”

 

“I see…” Lu Fan nodded, indicating his understanding.

 

However, to be completely honest, Lu Fan still did not take the God Slaying Ballista to heart.

 

Why? Because it only killed Players with Endurance Attribute below two million.

 

But Lu Fan’s Endurance had already far exceeded two million. He need not fear this Secret Realm Bound Relic whatsoever.

 

Therefore, while the God Slaying Ballista and the Skill Restriction Stone Seals were extremely important to others, to Lu Fan, they were completely dispensable.

 

In comparison, what Lu Fan valued were the Rewards within the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, and the Final Reward, the Divine Tempering Liquid.

 

In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan and Wang Tianlang had been walking for about half an hour, but they had not encountered any Monsters.

 

Wang Tianlang explained that this was actually normal. After all, the whole Map of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm was huge. Also, no Monsters spawned near where Players landed. Otherwise, if someone landed next to a Boss and was carelessly killed by it, wouldn’t that be too unfair?

 

Generally speaking within about thirty kilometres around each Player, the number of Monsters would be few to none.

 

But in more distant areas, the number of Monsters would gradually increase.

 

As if to confirm Wang Tianlang’s words, the two had not walked much further when sounds came from ahead. A Steel Armoured Earth Dragon, like a small mountain, crushed through the dense forest as it charged towards them.

 

Lu Fan used Appraisal and discovered this was a Level 100 Silver Grade Boss.

 

Although it was a Boss, to everyone who could enter the God’s Tomb Secret Realm, it was no different to a Mob. Basically, no one would be frightened by such a Monster.

 

Only Diamond Grade and above could truly be considered Bosses in this Secret Realm.

 

As for Epic Grade Bosses, they were even rarer. It was said that around any Epic Grade Boss, there was a thirty percent chance of discovering a Red Treasure Chest.

 

The current Wang Tianlang, having lost his Purgatory Lord and unable to summon other Pets, had basically lost all Combat Power. So, upon seeing this Steel Armoured Earth Dragon, his expression changed dramatically and he immediately hid behind Lu Fan.

 

Lu Fan did not move. Two chain hooks directly shot out from behind him, blasting towards the Steel Armoured Earth Dragon.

 

*Cii!*

*Cii!*

 

Two crisp sounds rang out. The head of the Steel Armoured Earth Dragon, known for its defensive strength, was directly pierced through by the two chain hooks.

 

The chain hooks directly penetrated the Steel Armoured Earth Dragon’s body, emerging from the rear, then changed direction and continued shuttling through its body.

 

Each time the chain hooks struck the Steel Armoured Earth Dragon’s body, it was as if they faced no obstruction, directly piercing through its flesh.

 

In the blink of an eye, these two chain hooks had already created over a dozen bloody holes through the Steel Armoured Earth Dragon’s body.

 

The Steel Armoured Earth Dragon had not even used its Level 100 Divine Skill when it let out a wail and crashed to the ground, its body dissolving into white particles.

 

Where its carcass disappeared, a White Treasure Chest appeared, emanating a milky-white light.

 

Seeing this, Lu Fan smiled. “Hey, didn’t you say it’s very difficult for ordinary Monsters to drop Treasure Chests? I’ve got a good start. Looks like I’m quite lucky!”

 

He stepped forward, intending to open the Treasure Chest to see what Rewards were inside.

 

Beside him, Wang Tianlang stood frozen in place.

 

Admittedly, the Steel Armoured Earth Dragon could not be considered anything remarkable within God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

 

But the Attributes of a Level 100 Silver Grade Boss Monster were not low. Even though the Players participating in God’s Tomb Secret Realm were all above Level 100, to defeat this Boss in single combat would surely take several minutes at least, would it not?

 

Yet this Dragon Tamer was far too extraordinary. He had not even moved. Relying solely on that strange armour of his, and instantly killed a Steel Armoured Earth Dragon!

 

[Is this guy even Human!? He is only at Level 60-something and has clearly just completed his Third Profession Change! If he reaches Level 100 and comprehended a Level 100 Divine Skill, then what!?]

 

[Even Divine Beings would not be able to go against him. He could probably massacre them at will… Goddamn it. This guy is terrifying, truly terrifying…]

 

On the other side, Lu Fan had already opened the Treasure Chest with a *click*.

 

The contents of the Treasure Chest were not much: one Talisman and one Scroll.

 

Lu Fan first picked up the Talisman and examined it.

 

Sure enough, it was a Secret Realm Talisman.

 

Secret Realm Talisman (First Grade Strength Talisman)   Effect: Upon use, increases Strength Attribute by 100, lasts until departure from the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

 

[A First Grade Strength Talisman, huh? This is the Lowest Grade.]

 

Naturally, since it was the Lowest Grade the Attribute points it added were also extremely low—merely one hundred points, a value that even dogs would not want.

 

What Lu Fan hoped to obtain were Talismans that increased his Attributes by percentage. However, such Talismans were relatively rare and would require killing more Monsters to drop.

 

Considering this was merely a Treasure Chest dropped by a ‘Low Level’ Monster, what more could he ask for?

 

Lu Fan resigned himself to fate and casually used the Strength Talisman, adding an imperceptibly small amount to his Strength Attribute.
