MMORPG: The Elementalist

Almost every player from the Angel Faction was wondering how Qin Ruo was able to have such a miraculous increase in Honor Points. He had outsmarted the four largest parties overwhelmingly. Even in the Demon Faction, there was a clan called as Combat King who had started to spread the news that the Winter Demon Qin Ruo killed the Tier 4 Ultimate Boss—Cyclops Commander Galbis.

Although they did not see the whole battle of how Qin Ruo killed Galbis, they were still able to witness the scene of how Qin Ruo immensely suppressed Galbis. In addition, the timing of when Qin Ruo acquired the 2000 Honor Points and the timing when he executed Galbis corresponded with each other.

At the same time, the news spread like wildfire.

A Tier 5 experienced solo player killed a Tier 4 Ultimate Boss, the Cyclops Commander who had the power to control an army of Cyclops monsters.

Not only players from the Angel Faction but also players from the Demon Faction were startled and shocked by this unbelievable news.

The undefeatable Tier 4 Ultimate Boss was annihilated. To be precise, it was defeated with just one player, which was Qin Ruo, the Winter Demon…

Soon enough, news and rumors spread even faster.

“Damn it, no wonder Savior and Death Jesus were eliminated by him.”

“This guy’s power is definitely already equivalent to that of Tier 5. Perhaps he might be even stronger…”

“Not really, I believed this happened because he was the only one brave enough to solo the Boss. I think if Savior and the others went and fought the Tier 4 Ultimate Boss, they might be able to solo it and kill him as well…”

“Hmm… that is true. After all, the Divinity items appeared not too long ago. Those players who are more experienced and stronger have always been concentrating on the Buried City. Hence, Qin Ruo was able to take advantage of it.”

“Take advantage? How about you go and try fighting him and see the results of your accusations ?”

“…”

The rumors and news spread everywhere. They did not know there was a shocking piece of news going on in an unpopular small town’s appraisal shop!

There were four players wearing Violet equipment in awe while standing behind and observing the two players who were standing in front of them at the appraisal shop’s reception counter. The four players saw several shining Dark Gold equipment in front of them and started to feel agitated. They kept on holding to themselves from charging forward to look closely at the equipment. This was because they were well aware of the identity of the players that were in front of them, who had a black “Forbidden” clan insignia on their chests.

Actually, they could not be blamed…

Any players, even for those Tier 5 experienced players who were on the scene, would also be astonished if they saw someone took out three Legendary equipment, five Dark Gold equipment, and a Dark Gold pendant at the same time.

The appraisal masters who were behind the reception counter were also amazed and excited when they saw such a rare and precious equipment.

Qin Ruo saw how the three appraisal masters gazed at the equipment, as if they wanted to keep the equipment for themselves. He walked forward, leaned in closer to the reception counter, and stared at those three appraisal masters. He made a guess, mumbling to himself,”I think this game doesn’t have settings where the NPC can steal an equipment from a player right?”

After fifteen seconds had passed and the appraisal was done, all of the equipment were taken back by Qin Ruo from the appraisal masters. During that moment, those pitiful appraisal masters showed disappointment in their facial expressions when the rare equipment was taken away from them.

Permanent Lock was standing nearby and felt speechless when he saw the facial expressions of those appraisal masters. It was ridiculous that they show any disappointment even when they knew it had to be done.

“Hey hey.”

Permanent Lock could not hold back anymore and slightly knocked on the reception counter. After he had startled those three appraisal masters, he pointed to the five equipment that was still on the reception counter:

“Quickly appraise these man!” He spoke very loudly and then turned back to look at the three appraised equipment that Qin Ruo was currently holding.

Qin Ruo was an important customer and the owner of the equipments, of course the three appraisal masters had nothing to say. However, the Bandit next to him was so arrogant despite the fact he had nothing to do with it. Thismade the three appraisal masters stared glare at him.

“Kid, it took a lot of energy to appraise an equipment! Can’t you just let us rest for a while?”

“…”

Before Permanent Lock was able to look at the appraised equipment’s attributes, he was startled by the aggressive voice of the NPC appraisal masters. When he was trying to figure out what was happening, the second appraisal master continued to shout at him,”Who do you think you are, kid? Don’t you know how to respect your elders?”

“…”

While Permanent Lock was stunned by the shoutings of those two angered appraisal masters, the third appraisal master warned him, “I will remember you kid! Permanent Lock huh. Don’t you ever come and request for an appraisal from us in the future, or else I will charge an extra 1000 gold for each appraisal!”

“…”

Permanent Lock was totally confused…

“What’s wrong, what did I do? Why should I be threatened by old NPC appraisal masters?”

Qin Ruo silently looked at the innocent Permanent Lock, who was chided by the three appraisal masters and then responded with an expression of ‘there’s nothing I can do to help you’. After that, he ignored Permanent Lock and continued to inspect the three appraised equipment with intense focus.

“…”

Galbis’ Robe of Despair:

Legendary tier

Guard +57

Magical Resistance +32

Earth Element Affinity +10%

Physical damage reduction +10%

Increases Intelligence by 15

Increases Max HP by 300

Earth Elemental attack effectiveness +5%

Galbis’ Innate ability—Gravity Field! (Able to activate once per day with 20% MP consumption. For 3 hours, all the Divinity crystals within a hundred-meter radius will be sealed!).

Limited to Terramancers

Requires 100 Intelligence Points

Requires Level 50

“…”

After he inspected the first equipment’s attributes, Qin Ruo compared that to his own currently equipped items. Both of the equipment had their own pros and cons. However, the big difference was the innate ability of the robe.

Gravity Field could be targeted at players with Divinity crystals and the target was everyone within the range except for himself… This was very appropriate for one-on-one aerial combat but the advantages were not that huge…

After some thought, Qin Ruo kept the equipment and continued to inspect the second one…

After only a few seconds of inspecting the equipment, Qin Ruo was astonished!

Galbis’ Gauntlet of Despair:

Legendary tier

Guard +42

Magical Resistance +28

Earth Element Affinity +8%

Physical damage reduction +10%

Increases Intelligence by 15

Increases Max HP by 300

Earth Elemental attack effectiveness +5%

Galbis’ Innate ability—Cyclops Summoning! (Able to activate once per day with 50% MP consumption. Summons an army of six Cyclops monsters from the Galbis’ Lair that is totally under the control of the user. The level of the Cyclops monsters will be adjusted to the level of the user and the summon will last for 3 hours).

“…”

‘Fascinating! This equipment is overpowered!’

Qin Ruo was very excited after he inspected the immensely strong gauntlet. He then took a deep breath and continued to inspect the last Legendary equipment.

Galbis’ Greaves of Despair:

Legendary tier

Guard +42

Magical Resistance +28

Earth Element Affinity +8%

Physical damage reduction +10%

Increases Intelligence by 15

Increases Max HP by 300

Earth Elemental attack effectiveness +5%

Galbis’ Innate ability—Shrink Teleportation! (Can only be activated once every 2 hours and consumes 50 MP. Teleports the user to any location within 30 meters around the user).

‘Woah!’

The equipment’s attributes were not that strong, but they were still surprisingly good!

Each of the equipment had Affinity increased, Physical damage reduction, Intelligence increased, 300 points increased in Max HP and it even increased the effectiveness of Earth Elemental attacks.

What did this imply?

When three equipment are equipped at the same time, the attributes would stack. This means it would be 30% increased in Physical damage reduction, Max HP increased by 900 points and Non-Elemental attack effectiveness increased by an additional 15%.

Terramancers who equip the three Legendary equipment would be able to have devastating capabilities to fight against Warrior class players, who specialized in melee or close combat. Additionally, they could even have a better advantage against the Warrior class.

Furthermore, the Guard and Magical Resistance attributes of the Legendary equipment were very high. Imagine a scene where a Terramancer was able to fight both short and long-ranged class players at the same time without being threatened by them. How terrifying that would be!

Besides that, all of the equipment had Galbis’ Innate ability!

Gravity Field: a skill that could seal the Divinity crystals of any players within range and prevent them from flying. It would force the players to be grounded to the earth and face some extreme ‘threats’ from Terramancers ( While on the ground, Terramancers will be able to unleash their highest offensive capabilities while having the highest mobility as well due to the ground being their domain).

Cyclops Summoning however provided players with the ability to summon and control six Tier 5 Cyclops monsters. It could unleash combat powers no lower than a full team of six experienced players. This would definitely be very useful in many circumstances.

Needless to say the last innate skill—Shrink Teleportation. It was similar Qin Ruo’s Aquamorph form, which allowed the player a chance to decide whether to fight or flee. It was definitely a hidden trump card.

After he inspected all of the three Legendary equipment, Qin Ruo sighed deeply…

“I wonder how good it would be, if I were a Terramancer…”

If the Galbis’ set combined with another two compatible equipment, which were able to increase the Physical Damage reduction to 50%, players like Lizard Bandit or Tiger Cub could actually pose some threat to him if they equipped those equipment.

Qin Ruo smirked and suddenly felt a sense of relief…

Fortunately, the Galbis’ set only had three equipment…

If there were two more similar equipment, Warrior class players would definitely be outmatched if they encounter a Terramancer who had the Galbis’ set ! (Tier 4 Defensive Barrier had the effect of Physical Damage reduction) Additionally, the combat power of Terramancer was already strong.

Just when Qin Ruo wanted to keep the Legendary equipment, he heard Permanent Lock sigh then mumble, “What the hell.” Obviously, Permanent Lock had glanced at the Legendary equipment attributes at the reception counter.

He then looked at Qin Ruo and said something unpleasant to Qin Ruo, “Luckily you’re not a Terramancer.”

“&^%$#@”

Qin Ruo rolled his eyes at Permanent Lock. Qin Ruo was actually worried if these kinds of equipment could drop from other ordinary Ultimate Bosses as that could be very troublesome for him. He then decided to farm similar types of Water Legendary equipment just to be safe. He just was not very sure if his dream could ever be realized.

Later on, Qin Ruo was preparing to store the Legendary equipment. Just when he was getting ready to inspect the newly appraised Dark Gold equipment, he noticed the Dark Gold pendant that had a half-opened Cyclops’ eye on it. He could feel an abnormal presence that the pendant was releasing…
