Chapter 953: Chaos Set

As the moment when Zennarde’s Sword was moved from the trading panel into the backpack, Nieyan felt a surge of immense power emanating from Zennarde’s Sword.

From now on, this Zennarde’s Sword, which had accompanied Nieyan for more than two years and witnessed his glory, would shine even brighter!

Nieyan glanced at the attributes of Zennarde’s Sword.

Zennarde’s Sword: A divine artifact of Karando, a Chaos Armor, and a Divine-grade item.

Item Description: This divine artifact was ordered by Zennarde, the Dragon King, to be forged by Karando. Infused with dark magic by Zennarde, it is a mighty divine artifact. If you lack the power to control it, you will suffer its backlash. After being reinforced with Void Metal, its attributes have been further enhanced and it has transformed into Chaos Armor.

Item Attributes: Attack 39560-39827, Critical Hit +1250, 55% chance to deal 18x critical damage, ignoring level and armor. Bonus Skills: 22nd level Infernal Execution – When the enemy’s HP drops below 30%, there is a chance to instantly kill them with this skill. Success rate depends on both parties’ levels and defenses. Skill cooldown is 2 seconds, requiring 20 energy. 22nd level Cataclysmic Devastation – When attacking enemies, inflicts five curses: 22nd level Weakness, 22nd level Debilitation, 22nd level Plague, 22nd level Fear, and 22nd level Corrosion, lasting 15 minutes. Skill cooldown is one hour. 22nd level Oblivion Slash – Releases a wave of sword energy, dealing 80x attack damage to all creatures in a straight line within a 5*50 yard range. Cooldown is one full day. Dragon King’s Might – Grants ownership of three dragon pets and two dragon flying mounts. All dragon pets and mounts receive a 50% boost to all attributes, maximum loyalty, and access to Zennarde’s dragon power, leading you to discover the hidden treasures of the dragons.

Usage Restriction: None.

The skills of Zennarde’s Sword have all been enhanced, but what excited Nieyan the most was the change in attack power. Zennarde’s Sword’s attack power soared to 39000, surpassing even the 37000 of the Death God’s Blade, making it a truly divine-grade item.

With such powerful equipment, Nieyan’s attack power surged to an astonishing level. At this point, he had taken another step closer to his peak. Nieyan estimated that even if Duoguo, Daoguang, and Shuishui gave their all, their attack power wouldn’t surpass his by much. Once his level catches up, their overall strength will be nearly equal.

If Nieyan could also upgrade his current legendary set into Chaos Armor of Divine Grade, he believed that would truly mark his return to his peak.

“Mr. Brownnick, I need to talk to you about something. Could you please ask them to step out for a moment?” Nieyan said, looking at Brownnick. This was a rather impolite request. He had already revealed too much before, and if he continued discussing things, some important secrets might be exposed, so he had no choice but to do this.

“You all step out first. Come back later,” Brownnick said to the five players nearby, his voice deep. “I’ll give you some compensation later.”

Though the five players were somewhat annoyed at being rudely dismissed, upon hearing Brownnick mention compensation, all their complaints vanished. Anything Brownnick offered would be an incredible treasure for them.

The five players dared not voice any objections. They looked at Nieyan, trying to discern something about this mysterious figure. However, Nieyan’s face was hidden beneath his cloak, revealing nothing. Even if Nieyan removed his cloak, the players still wouldn’t recognize him, as he had already taken a disguise potion.

“Mr. Brownnick, if I want to enhance my current set of gear, what materials will I need?” Nieyan asked, seeing the five players leave the hut.

After a moment of contemplation, Brownnick replied, “Enhancing your current gear will require a large amount of materials, including eight pieces of Void Metal, thirty-two different colors of 16th-grade gems, twenty of each type, Dark Crystals, and so on.”

Brownnick listed a long list of materials, saying, “Your current gear is of very high quality. If each piece is upgraded, the set will transform from a legendary set into ordinary individual pieces, and the set bonus will be lost forever. However, after upgrading to Chaos Armor, the gear attributes will be significantly enhanced, surpassing the set bonuses by a large margin. Whether or not to upgrade is a decision you must carefully consider.”

Transforming from a set into eight individual pieces? Nieyan felt momentarily lost. After a brief silence, he thought that if each individual piece’s attributes were strong enough to surpass the set bonuses by a large margin, then upgrading would be more beneficial.

Since the set had to be disassembled, Nieyan decided to upgrade only six pieces. As for the weapon, Zennarde’s Sword would suffice.

Thinking further, Nieyan realized that upgrading the Abak Set was necessary because the current set was far behind the top-tier gear. Nieyan either needed to find a way to upgrade the Abak Set or replace it with a stronger set.

Between the two options, Nieyan preferred upgrading. Finding a complete set of powerful gear would be extremely difficult and might take an indefinite amount of time. Upgrading the Abak Set seemed much simpler. As for Void Metal, he heard that Chaos Temple still had some drops. If he mobilized the entire forces of the Bull People Tribe, even if they couldn’t find high-end Void Metals like Void Gold, obtaining five pieces of Void Iron should be feasible.

“If I only upgrade six pieces, would six pieces of Void Iron be sufficient?” Nieyan asked, already having one piece of Void Iron in his bag, so he only needed to acquire five more.

“Yes, if you only need to upgrade six pieces, I do have a plan,” Brownnick considered for a while before replying.

“What plan?” Nieyan asked, puzzled.

“Smelt the eight components into six to form a new Chaos Set. Of course, more materials will be required, and even a divine-grade item will need to be sacrificed,” Brownnick explained. This was the most powerful forging he knew.

Six pieces of Abak forming a Chaos Set? Hearing Brownnick’s words, Nieyan couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. If it could truly succeed, it would be a qualitative leap for him.

It was impossible not to be tempted, even if it meant sacrificing a divine-grade item.

Nieyan immediately thought of the Paternoster Hammer, which was a useless item for him anyway, so he definitely wouldn’t use it.

“Although you need to sacrifice a divine-grade item, it will definitely be worth it. The attributes of this divine item will be fused into the set,” Brownnick said.

“What other materials are needed besides a divine-grade item?” Nieyan asked, feeling a strong anticipation for the Chaos Set Brownnick described.

“There are many,” Brownnick listed all the materials. Many of them were unheard of by Nieyan, originating from the Chaos Temple and the Sword of War God, totaling more than thirty types. Nieyan had seen some of these in the guild warehouse. Of course, besides those, there were also six pieces of Void Iron.

“If I can gather all these materials, can my current Abak Set be forged into a Chaos Set?” Nieyan asked.

“Yes, respected Mr. Nieyan. In addition, you must pay me one million gold coins for forging fees,” Brownnick replied.

The forging fee was a minor matter. Nieyan had already accumulated an astronomical amount of money at his disposal, so he naturally didn’t care about such a small sum.

Coming here today had been fruitful. In addition to upgrading Zennarde’s Sword, he at least now knew how to improve his other equipment. Even if he couldn’t complete it in the short term, he at least had a direction to work towards.

Nieyan sent a message to Guohuai: “How has the guild been lately?”

Receiving Nieyan’s message, Guohuai was overjoyed and replied:

“You finally showed up. During this time, you’ve been a hands-off boss, making life tough for the rest of us who had to do all the work.”

Nieyan chuckled awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry for the trouble. Thanks to you all, the Bull People Tribe didn’t fall apart.”

Nieyan understood that after his incident, Guohuai and the others had worked extremely hard to stabilize the situation within the Bull People Tribe.

“That’s okay. When do you plan to return to the Bull People Tribe?”

“Not yet. With my current level and equipment, the brothers in the Bull People Tribe would probably be disappointed. People outside might also take this opportunity to make a big deal out of it.”

“It’s not a big deal. Let them talk,” Guohuai said. “Your level may have dropped, but your prestige within the Bull People Tribe is unshakable.”

“I have my own plans. I’ll return only after I’ve caught up in level and returned to my peak form,” Nieyan said resolutely. Even if he returned now, he wouldn’t be able to do much.

“Are you sure? Remember, you’ve been offline for three whole years! Even though you reached level 180 in the Black Magic Space, you’re still nearly twenty levels behind the top players. Their equipment has also been collected piece by piece over one or two years, all Chaos Armor,” Guohuai said with concern. It would not be easy to close a three-year gap!

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Nieyan replied, sending the list of required materials to Guohuai. “Can you help me find how much of these items are available?”

Guohuai glanced at the list and said, “Many of the raw materials and gems on this list are very precious. The total cost for these items would probably be no less than thirty million gold coins. Just the five pieces of Void Iron would cost nearly twelve million gold coins. But it’s not impossible to get them.”

Hearing Guohuai mention thirty million gold coins, Nieyan was startled. He hadn’t expected these materials to be so valuable. But thinking about it, a top-tier Chaos Set would be even more valuable and of great significance!

“Are you sure you want to get these things?” Guohuai asked, confirming once again.

“Yes, not a single item on this list can be missing. I’ll go level up first. When everything is gathered, send me a message,” Nieyan confirmed decisively.
