"Is it really over?" Yan Qiu stared at the two Great Leaders lying at her feet, feeling as though she were in a dream. ⊙.⊙ Great Leader–rank monsters were terrifying no matter where you encountered them.
Even an elite hundred-man squad led by seasoned veterans would struggle to bring one down—and more often than not, they'd get wiped out entirely.
And now a mere twenty-man party had taken care of two Great Leaders, with the added handicap of the rest of them dragging their feet. The whole thing felt unreal.
The Wind God's Lance party couldn't even compare to the Zero Wing Guild—they were practically from two different worlds.
If it hadn't been for Sisi Qingxuan, they never would have crossed paths with Shi Feng. The thought of how they'd tried to convince Sisi Qingxuan and Qingzhu to leave Zero Wing and join Wind God's Lance earlier made their cheeks burn with embarrassment.
"Sisi, hurry up and collect the Life Force," Shi Feng reminded her urgently. "If you don't absorb it within five minutes of a Great Leader's death, it'll dissipate and you won't be able to collect it anymore."
Sisi Qingxuan snapped out of her daze and quickly pulled out the pitch-black giant egg to begin absorbing the Life Force from the two fallen Great Leaders.
While she was busy siphoning away the dissolving Life Force, Shi Feng picked up all the loot. The two Great Leaders had dropped a total of seven pieces of equipment—not a huge haul, but quite respectable for the Abyssal Battlefield.
High-tier monsters were plentiful in the Abyssal Battlefield, which meant top-tier drops were comparatively rare. On top of that, equipment drop rates naturally declined as Divine Realm monster levels increased, which was when a Blacksmith's true value shone through.
"Pretty nice drops this time." Shi Feng's face lit up with satisfaction after appraising everything with the Eye of Omniscience.
Of the seven pieces, five were Gold-grade equipment at level 40, and one was a Dark Gold weapon.
Ice Spirit Staff, Staff, Dark Gold, Level 40.
Attack +1,045 Strength +51 Agility +47 Intellect +92 Spirit +87 Endurance +66 Casting speed increased by 15%, magic damage increased by 20%, casting range +5. 20% chance when casting to receive the Blessing of Frost, dealing 220% ice damage. Target's movement speed reduced by 30% for 5 seconds.
Passive Skill: Frost Blessing—ice magic effects increased by 30%.
Active Skill: Deluge—deals 300% frost damage per second to a 20×20-yard area. Area expands by 10 yards each second for 8 seconds, freezing all targets in range for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 3 hours.
Shi Feng dropped the staff's stats into the party chat, and everyone's jaws hit the floor.
"The stats are pretty average overall, but it boosts every attribute! And those skills are insane!"
"I've never seen a skill with a 100-yard coverage radius before. Not even Star of Light comes close."
"If Deluge gets used on a battlefield, it'll absolutely wreck the other side."
"Such a shame it isn't Epic-rank…"
…
Everyone could see at a glance just how fearsome the Ice Spirit Staff was.
Large-scale destructive magic was a treasure for any guild. A wide-area nuke like Deluge could annihilate thousands of soldiers in a single cast on a crowded battlefield.
