Chapter 758: Ace……..in your face!!!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Sheyan selected option 'C' amongst the three options and obtained a 'Gold Party Medal'.
After all, he could still compensate through other means if he forgo the other two options, however, option 'C' was the only method to upgrade to a Gold Prestige party! He couldn't compensate that with other means.
As for the 6 party skill points, Sheyan repeatedly invested them into 'Asylum' as part of his plan.
When 'Asylum' attained level 5, it provided an additional 200 HP/MP for party members. After being raised to level 7, it boosted 310 points of HP and MP!
Then came the level 7 random bonus, where Sheyan drew a special property that provided another 100 HP and MP.
This meant that party skill 'Asylum' at level 7 could provide a maximum 410 points to a party member's HP and MP! This was an exceptionally terrifying achievement.
Still, Sheyan was not satisfied. He was still left with 4 party skill points, and planned to go all in to upgrade party skill 'Asylum'
Instead, he realized that after upgrading it to level 7, it now required 3 party skill points to reach level 8. Nevertheless, it offered an astonishing increase of 150 HP and MP!
Right now, Sheyan couldn't care less about other matters. For him, HP and MP would undoubtedly play a critical role and were also pivotal in the future as well.
After upgrading 'Asylum' to level 8, the skill boosted a full 560 points of HP and MP to party members. Such a shocking bonus was tremendous even for existences like Growth-Hunters!
Except, it would be exceedingly arduous for others to attain this accomplishment.
Firstly, it required an official military Lieutenant contestant to establish a new party, which was at first, a measly 10 men strong small scale party. Almost 95% of contestants would fall short of this requirement already.
Secondly, the party establishment mission result must be excellent, which barely 10% of that could qualify.
Following that, though a Silver Prestige Party was immensely formidable, its party leveling speed was excruciatingly slow. Yet coincidentally, Sheyan encountered a spontaneous merger from a large scale level 8 party! The chances of this was as good as winning a lottery....
Hence, with all these tiny factors surpassing the ordinary, a minute probability outcome of a Silver Prestige skill reaching such outrageous heights emeged.
As for the last party skill point, Sheyan allocated it to 'Gloryheal', raising it to level 2.
The party skill still restored 50% of HP but its cool down period was shortened; from 12 hours to 8 hours now.
Sheyan nodded with satisfaction.
Following Zi's application, she also enrolled into Party Ace.
"How did my HP and MP increase so...…...dramatically??!?!?"
At the instance of her enrollment into the party, even a former party leader who oversaw grand schemes like Zi, couldn't refrain from being utterly stunned.
560 points bonus to HP and MP!!!!
Although there wasn't any other attribute bonus, looking in a more straightforward perspective, a member of this party could be considered to be supplemented with 56 points of physique and intelligence.
Of course, it was only a bonus to HP and MP, and not defense, ability power, attribute checkpoint bonuses or regeneration speed. Still, it was an upgrade that left one utterly flabbergasted.
Upon viewing the properties of 'Gloryheal' she immediately attached it as a crisis saving ability!
"If my Illume-union possessed this ability previously, we could perhaps, fight to a stalemate with Glory Party….."
Alas, her excitement quickly faded away as the abnormal crunching sounds of the metallic doors intensified. It could give way at any second.
Cruel reality served genuinely in their faces, a treacherous situation of two contestants versus two parties.
Even the 'Unbeatable Titan Leech' with 180,000 life force was eliminated with just 2-3 minutes. Such was the crumbling fate of defying a sea of combatants. Once the members of both parties charged in, what could more HP, MP and a stronger 'Gloryheal' do? Merely, a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.
Sheyan was aware of her thinking and directly dragged her deeper into the underground laboratory.
After all, two special barriers were erected for this base to guard against any large infiltrating legendary dinosaur.
The first barrier was those metal gates that were comparable with underground bunkers.
The second barrier, was the purposefully constructed narrow cavern passage!
Even legendary dinosaurs besieged and destroyed the metal gates, their tremendous bodies could only lament in the sight of such a narrow passageway.
When she saw the long hundred plus meters passage, Zi's eyes twinkled.....in a flash, she understood Sheyan's intention, as her body trembled faintly with anxiousness, anticipation and even ecstacy.
"What you're implying...is for me to hold this passageway? And drag out the remaining time?"
"Indeed!" Sheyan's eyes flickered with a burning passion as he resolutely declared.
"Didn't you feel it previously? This is your field. Your 'Force Walls' is an area of effect damage and knockback enemies as well. With you guarding this passage, anyone who wishes to charge in will be colliding straight into your walls! Your theoretical damage potential has already stepped into the realms of the Awakener once you awaken the 'Dragonforce Bloodline'. Who, amongst them, can barge through your death zone of a hundred meters???"
Instead, the fervor in her eyes soon dimmed as she shook her head disappointedly.
"It's not enough, they have two MTs in Skull and Zeus. They can significantly boost their comrades' speed and defense, and if they personally push in, even I don't have the confidence…..of stopping them."
"Is that...so?" Sheyan's expression was strange as he dragged his voice, which seemed to be filled with disdain for Skull and Zeus.
His eyes combusted with a queer blazing intensity; like the setting sun or the rising daylight, it supplemented a wave of indescribable palpitation in Zi's heart.
She felt as though this male was unfathomably mysterious like an ocean, totally unguessable and incapable of seeing through.
"I've never once committed to something without sufficient confidence." Sheyan spoke, word by word, to Zi. His tone was gentle yet strong, like a large river profoundly leading into the vast sea.
"Because, not only can I weaken my foes, but for you, I can grant you greater strength!"
As he gazed at Zi, he stretched out both hands as though offering a sacrifice to her. A second later, two shocking green radiance appeared on his hand; two weirdly styled equipments!
Zi was dumbfounded, the amount of mental shock she had received from him had been far too excessive. When her hand interacted with the two equipments, she immediately obtained their properties.
"Heavens…." Zi subconsciously murmured the intense emotions of her heart.
[ Massive Ndipaya Augustmask & Ndipaya Marshcrow Augustgloves ]
[ Origins: Resident Evil Origins (Hidden World) ]
[ Equipment rarity: Dark-green (set equipment 2/3) ]
The two corresponding equipments she presently wore was rather ordinary and after being replaced by the 'Augustmask' and 'Augustgloves', she didn't lose much in terms of attributes. The two new dark-green grade set equipment in addition to the 'Asylum' skill of Party Ace, truly propelled Zi to a terrifying new threshold of power!
The total increase to her attributes were – intelligence +4, spirit +4, physique +13!
In terms of overall defense, her head on defence was enhanced by 100%, and the chances of reducing all damage to her by half was now 60%.
As for overall offense, these were the following upgrades.
A: 33% increase in duration of all your persisting damage (damage over time) type abilities. MP required for casting those abilities increases by 33%.
B: Acquired new ability: 'Intercession' – Activating 'Intercession' will forcibly lower the maximum cap of one's MP by 25%. One chosen ability will then be granted 2.5 - 5 seconds of interceding chants. After that session of interceding chants concludes, damage dealt to enemies will be raised by 25 - 50% depending on the duration of your interceding chant.
C: Ability to draw energy – Before entering combat, the spirit of the bracers will continue absorbing energies from the atmosphere, granting additional 25% damage during the first attack.
D: Acquired new ability: Spirit Marshcrow – When dealing damage to opponents, the spirit of the bracers will acquire strength from the opponent's agony. After accumulating 6 times of damage to the opponent, the Spirit Marshcrow of the bracers will materialize; soaring out and dealing a damage of (MP x 5) to the opponent. Includes a chance of infecting opponent with the 'Initial Stage Septicaemia' virus.
E: Set ability: Marsh Decay – when dealing damage to the opponent, there's a fixed chance of transforming your nearby surroundings into the environment of the Kijuju Marshland. Reduces movement speed and includes a chance of infection with various pestilences.
