Chapter 176: [Bul-Kathos' Children] Item Set
The two swords were still both unidentified, so they both flashed a dark green light.
In terms of appearance, the two swords were one long and one short, having different shapes.
The long one was clearly a two-handed sword, but it could also be used one-handedly. Its overall length was about 1.6 meters, 5 fingers wide, long and heavy, with delicate design. The 20 cm long sword handle was tightly wrapped with bright-red beast skin. What's amazing is that there were sharp sawtooth grooves on both sides of the blade, like the ferocious fangs of a beast. After extending for about 2/3 of the sword length, two grim barbs curved towards the sword handle, and after those 2 barbs, there were no more saw teeth on the blade, and it became sharp and smooth. On top of the blade's body was carved 9 mysterious dark black tadpole-shaped texts. Fei didn't understand its meaning, but it seems to contain a mystical ancient power, each text flashing with blood-red light.
The short one was a single-handed sword, and its shape was relatively simple. The outside looked more like a podao than a sword, but both sides had an edge like a sword. It was approximately 1.2 meters long, 6 finger-width, and the blade of the body was covered in countless strange dark green runes. With the glowing light, it gave the feeling that it was god's work. The blade's body was heavy and wide, and it was more suitable for hacking.
There was no need to identify them. The first look of these two weapons already triggered familiar yet distant memories of Fei's past life, and it had already helped him determine the identity of these two swords – The tier 7 Set Equipment, [Bul-Kathos' Children].
These two swords that were named after people had a very glorious past.
According to the legend, in the world history of Diablo, the Barbarian race once gave birth to a great and unrivaled leader, whose name was Bul-Kathos. The legend said that this Barbarian leader had a terrifyingly strong strength that even the gods and demons feared him. He once led the powerful barbarian soldiers to achieve national freedom. In order to defend his homeland Mountain Arreat, they defeated the devil army led by the Evil Lord Baal. Then, his fame was recognized in all three realms, even the gods and devils would take a few steps back when they see him.
The entire Diablo world gave this most accomplished leader in the entire history of Barbarians a legendary title – [Immortal King], and the magic weapons and armors that he once used that had incredible power were also passed down, known as the [Immortal King's Set], which was recognized to be a top tier [Set Items].
Besides the [Immortal King] set, this Barbarian leader also left behind two swords, and these two swords both carried incredible power. They formed another set together and was known as [Bul-Kathos' Children]. (TL: I wonder how his real children felt)
And these were the two swords in Fei's hands right now.
Although the [Bul-Kaths' Children] were a few degrees weaker than the [Immortal King] top tier Barbarian set in both strength and magical effects, and they were just two swords without any armor, but to Fei's current level 36 Barbarian character, this was already god-like equipment. According to Fei's past life video-game memory, killing the second map's boss Duriel wouldn't give this kind of equipment. Not knowing why, these two swords appeared in Fei's hand.
After consuming two [Scrolls of Identify] and a golden light flashing past, both swords' complete stats and name appeared in Fei's vision.
The name of the delicate two-handed long sword was called [Bul-Kathos' Sacred Charge – Colossus Blade].
One-handed damage was 70-195 and two-handed damage was 174-345. It had an extremely fast attack speed, 44/44 durability, 20% increased attack speed, 200% enhanced damage, +35% crushing blow, and all resistances were +20.
The relatively shorter and simple one-handed sword was [Bul-Kathos' Tribal Guardian – Mythical Sword].
Melee damage was 120-150, had an extremely fast attack speed type sword, +200% enhanced damage, +50 poison damage, 2 seconds duration, +20 Strength and +50% fire resistance.
And when these two swords were used together, it could be called [Bul-Kathos' Children] and give a full set bonus: +2 to all Barbarian Skills, +200% enhanced damage, +200% damage to Demons and Undead, +20 fire damage and +25 defense.
After being identified, the green light flashing on the two swords' body gradually disappeared and returned to the original color. Although they had different shapes, both swords looked green from afar, with the green being a darker shade on the shorter sword. Both swords were shrouded by a glimmer of silky looming green light, exuding a domineering chill, and giving off an incredibly mighty feeling.
Fei lightly stroked the sword handles. A chilly sensation came and it felt great, just like touching the skin of a lover.
This was really strange.
Chapter 176: [Bul-Kathos' Children] Item Set (Part two)
The Diablo World's difficulty was divided into the [Normal], [Nightmare], and [Hell] three levels. Usually, a player would at first enter the [Normal] difficulty, and then after going past all the maps and completing all the missions, he or she would be able to enter the next level. According to Fei's past life's video game memory, the [Normal] difficulty level which he was at right now shouldn't drop high level set tier equipment like [Bul-Kathos' Children], and there was only one reason, which was quite simple – only level 50+ characters had enough Strength to pick up these two swords. As weapons that were once used by the Immortal King, they not only had a strict requirement for the wielder's level, there was also a strict requirement on the stats such as [Strength] and [Dexterity]. So, characters that were still in the low-level stages wouldn't be able to use these pieces of equipment at all.
Thinking about this, Fei was suddenly shocked. Doesn't that mean…
It means that his current level 38 Barbarian (leveled up twice after killing Duriel) temporarily wouldn't be able to use this [Set Item] tier swords.
But then, he quickly realized a strange phenomenon.
At this moment, isn't he firmly holding onto these two swords? It seemed like there was no such harsh limit like he remembered. Fei then carefully observed, and very soon found the reason – sealed Bul-Kathos' Children].
It's actually a sealed set.
"…Tier 7 weapons under the sealed status have 50% of the power as the unsealed version, but it also lowers the requirement for level and stats. As the user's level progresses, the item would be slowly unsealed, until level 60 where it gets fully unsealed, reaching the full potential of this set!"
So that's what's happening.
Fei's heart was jumping like a rabbit.
Very clearly, reality was again different from his memory of the Diablo video game. Things like sealed weapons never appeared before in the video game, but in this more realistic and lively Diablo World, it actually occurred.
And it seemed like this special "Sealed" effect was more designed for Fei's current level. Now, he could use this tier-7 Set equipment right away. Although 50% of the weapon's power was sealed away, under this status, both the [Colossus Blade] and [Mythical Sword]'s single-hand wielding damage still reached a shocking 70. Such damage already far exceeded the purple and green sword that Fei currently used.
Also, with Fei's increase in level, later on, these two swords' power will also increase correspondingly.
At this moment, there wasn't the slightest hesitation for Fei to equip these two swords onto him. Holding the two swords, an unprecedented feeling of strength surged through Fei's entire body. Gently waving the swords, a chilly wave of green wind shot out, capable of tearing everything in its path… This was indeed a weapon set once used by the Immortal King, too powerful.
After fondling it with love for awhile, Fei then went to pick up other loots dropped by Duriel. All kinds of magical weapons flashed with tempting light, and amongst them, there were actually three gold-light-flashing tier 6 [Rare Items].
"Holy f*ck today's really my lucky day, didn't expect so many good things to come out from this fat retarded bug…" Fei was so happy that he was gritting his teeth to the point where they were almost breaking, "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Would be nice if I can kill it several times!"
The three [Rare Items] were a bow, a light armor, and a pair of chained boots.
After identification, the bow's name was called the [Wild Rose Deadly Battle Bow]. It had a delicate design, and it was a mysterious wooden long bow that had a rose carved on both ends and vines spreading across the body. The bowstring was a sky blue string of light, and its two-handed damage was 45-60, plus an ice effect. The light plate was called [Titan's Battle Honor Armor], 95 defense, plus all types of magic effects. The chain boots were called [Amber's Swift Battle Boots], and it had a +30 movement speed special effect.
Fei thought for a second. These pieces of equipment were all pretty good, so he just gave them all to Elena. The bow was her only weapon, so the armor could provide defense for her relatively weaker body, and the battle boots could increase her speed to pull the distance between her and her enemy. These all seemed to be designed for Elena.
And there were also a few more pieces of equipment, but they were all tier 4 [Magic Items]. It would be nice to just bring them back to the NPC at [Lut Gholein] in exchange for a few gold coins, so Fei took them all back to the inventory space.
