Chapter 160 Purgatory Fire

Nie Yan didn’t want to forge a bitter feud with Dark Hell, so he wanted to find an opportunity to talk with them and avoid resolving things with excessive methods. However, one thing he was sure of was that he would obtain the Chapter of Justice no matter what.

By synthesizing the first volume of the Chapter of Order, he would essentially possess a Legendary-grade item. It would be of vital importance to his future development.

Moreover, after binding it, Nie Yan wouldn’t have to worry about the Chapter of Order being dropped.

He decided to wait and see for now. In any case, he could find out their movements every hour. Dark Hell couldn't run away.

Nie Yan slowly lured out and killed the Fallen Silver Armor Knights one by one. The ground was littered with corpses. Finally, he cleared out a Dark Gold Treasure Chest.

While killing the Fallen Silver Armor Knights, Nie Yan increasingly felt the importance of having a good crossbow. He focused his gaze on the Sub-Legendary crossbow, the Cavalry Crossbow of Doro the Knight. Although the cavalry crossbow had very high Strength requirements, with the bonus of equipment attributes in the future, when he reached Levels 60–70 or 80–90, he would still have a chance to wield that crossbow. He definitely had to get that crossbow!

Nie Yan walked towards it, bent down, and opened the chest.

A Level 30 Dark Gold Treasure Chest was a bit high-level, but Nie Yan could barely manage to open it, since Lockpicking Expert had the attribute of ignoring Treasure Chest level +1.

System: Treasure Chest opening, 3%....7%......5%......9%......

Opening the Treasure Chest was often interrupted. It took nearly three minutes for this Treasure Chest to be opened.

System: Treasure Chest opened. You have gained 5 Lockpicking Skill Proficiency.

Five Skill Proficiency was a lot.

Nie Yan opened the Dark Gold Chest and took out the items inside, a thick, ancient book and a piece of Dark Gold leather armor.

He checked the attributes of these two pieces of equipment.

The book was as black as ink. The edges of the book had gilded trim, adorned with delicate patterns. The cover of the book had several large characters in Ancient Common.

Skill Book: Purgatory Fire (Purgatory Magic)

Skill Description: Arcane Mages and Elemental Mages attack opponents by manipulating the flames of Purgatory.

Skill Requirements: Intelligence 150, Focus 5, Willpower 5. If used forcibly without meeting the requirements, Weakened for two natural days. Weakened: All attributes -80%.

Casting Elements: Two sets of syllables, two sets of gestures, Intermediate Arcane Magic Siven (must be written)

Skill Attributes: Cluster area-of-effect magic, attack range 30*30 yards, enhanced fire damage, continuous burning. When Willpower and Focus exceed 5 points, gain an additional attack bonus check.

Skill Cooldown Time: Two natural days.

User Restriction: Elemental Mage, Arcane Mage.

Purgatory Magic and Elemental Palace Magic were at the same level. They were both advanced magic. In terms of attack power, Purgatory Magic was even higher.

Similarly, Purgatory Magic had very strict restrictions on casting. First, you had to go to the store and buy a volume of Intermediate Arcane Magic Siven. It would take an hour and 2,000 mana (magic potions can be used during this time) to record Purgatory Fire into Intermediate Arcane Magic Siven. At the same time, two sets of syllables and two sets of gestures must be used to read it. Each time Purgatory Fire was used, it would take two days for the cooldown to complete before it could be cast a second time.

However, the damage of Purgatory Fire was very amazing. It was a cluster area-of-effect attack with a range of 30*30 yards. When Willpower and Focus were relatively high, there was also an additional attack damage bonus.

Among the advanced spells of mages, Willpower and Focus were extremely important attributes. They allowed mages to condense magic power faster and complete the summoning of magical elements in a short period of time. The greater the number of magical elements, the stronger the power of the magic would naturally be.

For example, if a mage’s Focus and Willpower were both 10 points, then he could gain an additional 100 points of attack damage. This was also the reason why mages would use various equipment to increase their Willpower and Focus when increasing their Intelligence.

When Nie Yan saw the Purgatory Fire magic book, he was overjoyed. The Ni Ren Tribe finally had its first advanced magic. This was of great significance to the guild.

Who should learn this Purgatory Fire?

Nie Yan thought of Tang Yao. With Tang Yao’s lazy personality, he might be too lazy to use such a complex advanced magic like Purgatory Fire.

Nie Yan sent the attributes of the Purgatory Fire skill book to Tang Yao and asked, “Do you want this Purgatory Fire skill?”

“What a powerful magic!” Tang Yao exclaimed. Compared to Meteor Fall, Purgatory Fire was obviously much more powerful. But then he said with frustration, “It takes an hour to record the magic every two days before it can be used. I think I’ll pass. I just got a new area-of-effect magic, Flame Storm. See if there are any suitable candidates in the guild.” Spending an hour to record the magic meant that he couldn’t level up during this hour. It might even be more cost-effective to combine Meteor Fall and Flame Storm.

“Since you have Flame Storm, then I’ll give Purgatory Fire to someone else,” Nie Yan said. Naturally, he would prioritize those who had signed contracts with the guild. There were still a few Arcane Mages and Elemental Mages. He wanted the most skilled person to learn Purgatory Fire.

Although Tang Yao’s level was very high, his level was grinded. In terms of skill, he might not even be as good as those Arcane Mages and Elemental Mages in the guild who had signed contracts. Guo Huai could handle this matter.

Nie Yan put away Purgatory Fire and then looked at the other item.

Skywalker Leather Armor (Dark Gold): Required Level 30. Set: Skywalker Leather Armor, Skywalker Gauntlets, Skywalker Boots.

Attributes: Defense 102–108, Agility +19, Defense Level +1, Comes with Tier 3 Damage Reduction, 20% Enhanced Defense against Magic Attacks.

Weight: 7 lbs.

Restriction: Thieves of all factions.

Nie Yan took a look. It was Dark Gold Skywalker. Skywalker could be considered the best leather armor in the Level 30 defense system for thieves. Someone had tried it. Wearing a set of Level 30 Skywalker could even allow one to face and kill elite mages of the same level that were five levels higher.

After all, it was Dark Gold equipment. The attributes were still very good.

Nie Yan thought for a moment. Although this Skywalker Leather Armor was not very suitable for his fighting style, it could indeed increase his survivability. It was still good. If he could really get a set of Level 30 Skywalker, he could focus on improving his own attack in the future. For example, he could embed Strength gems on the Skywalker equipment.

Since this place produced Skywalker, as a map that had not been explored, the other two components should be nearby.

He couldn’t wear this equipment yet. Nie Yan put the Skywalker Leather Armor into his bag and then continued to clear out the Fallen Silver Armor Knights in the distance, luring them out one by one.

Everything was in order. He cleared out the Fallen Silver Armor Knights next to another treasure chest and opened that Dark Gold Treasure Chest.

As Nie Yan had expected, he opened the other two pieces of the Skywalker set from the other Dark Gold Treasure Chest.

Skywalker Gauntlets (Dark Gold): Required Level 30. Set: Skywalker Leather Armor, Skywalker Gauntlets, Skywalker Boots.

Attributes: Defense 82–88, Agility +12, Strength +15, Comes with Tier 3 Physical Defense Enhancement, 20% Enhanced Defense against Magic Attacks.

Weight: 7 lbs.

Restriction: Thieves of all factions.

Skywalker Boots (Dark Gold): Required Level 30. Set: Skywalker Leather Armor, Skywalker Gauntlets, Skywalker Boots.

Attributes: Defense 72–75, Agility +10, Balance +5, Comes with Tier 3 Quick Run, 20% Enhanced Defense against Magic Attacks.

Weight: 7 lbs.

Restriction: Thieves of all factions.

The equipment attributes could only be seen after wearing these three pieces of Skywalker Leather Armor. Nie Yan didn’t know what the set attributes of the Skywalker set were in his previous life. At Level 30 in his previous life, he wore some scattered pieces of gold equipment. This kind of Dark Gold set could only be thought of in dreams.

In his previous life, Nie Yan had never even opened a Gold Treasure Chest, let alone a Dark Gold Treasure Chest. At that time, he had hardly participated in the exploration of any leveling maps, so there was no way to find the traces of Dark Gold Treasure Chests.

But in this life, the situation was completely different.

These two Dark Gold Treasure Chests made Nie Yan extremely happy. A Purgatory Fire magic book plus three pieces of Skywalker were all good items. In addition, there were twenty-six Split Blade fragments in his bag. After going back and letting an intermediate-level or higher blacksmith forge them, he could complete the forging of the Split Blade. As for the remaining fragments, he would throw them all into the guild warehouse. Someone would definitely need them in the future.

He glanced at the hall. Corpses were lying on the ground.

The crystal coffin on the steps in the distance was already close at hand.

Even though he was very close to his goal, Nie Yan was still extremely cautious. There might be other Boss-level monsters appearing nearby.

Nie Yan walked up the steps. The crystal coffin came into view. The crystal coffin was waist-high, completely carved from transparent, pure, high-quality crystal, sparkling and translucent. Under the illumination of the lights in the hall, it refracted dazzling rays of light.

An NPC wearing silver-white armor lay quietly in the crystal coffin. Through the crystal coffin, everything could be seen very clearly. He had a fair complexion, was heroic, and exuded a faint white glow, appearing sacred and solemn. His hands were folded on his chest, and a Paladin greatsword was placed next to the crystal coffin.

His expression was like that of a living person, his eyes closed, peaceful as if he had just fallen asleep and would wake up the next moment.

He should be the dead Paladin Kavana.

According to the history of Athos, he should be a figure from the end of the Dark Ages. In other words, his body had been resting here for thousands of years, yet there was not a trace of decay.

Nie Yan looked towards Kavana’s feet. A thin scroll was floating in the air above his body, radiating light, dazzling and eye-catching.

It was the Chapter of Justice that Nie Yan had been searching for!
